START OF CHAPTER 4

Still not knowing why your Countess acts like this you try to brush it off.
"My lady, I don't want to sound rude, but I'm a little bit tired...the wound is quite painful and draining my energy off..." you explained.
Lady Dimitrescu let you down and went to her bed.

'Uhhh...did I? Piss her off?'

"Let's head to sleep then, I'm expecting your usual routine in the morning" she said and covered herself in the blankets.

You also walked to her bed and got into the blankets, it was warm and cozy, the blankets had a familiar scent on them. It then reminded you of the smell from the bathroom. You closed your eyes as the lights from the fireplace lit itself off.

[MIDNIGHT]

You had a nightmare, it's usual for them to occur, ever since you've been working here they were always with you.
But this nightmare was different.

You were walking around a small village, which seemed familiar to you. Your body started to get tired and you sat down on the ground, coughing up blood and freezing.
Trying to warm yourself you saw a figure standing above you. Your vision started to be blurry but you could still make out the outline. It seemed like the person had..wings? 6 to be precise. You couldn't move your body anymore and fell unconscious.

That's when you woke up.

You were startled from the nightmare and stood up from the bed. You looked around the dark room, your eyes adjusted to the dark quickly and you got up to walk outside to the corridors.
You didn't know where you wanted to go to but you just needed fresh air, so you searched the next window that had a balcony.

After a while you found one and stepped outside. You breathed in and out trying to calm yourself down a bit and thought about the nightmare.

"What could this mean...I always had these nightmares but it was never THIS clear" you sighed and turned around to go back to sleep, but someone stopped you.

"What do we have here? A maiden who's trying to escape?" Daniela said grabbing your wrist and holding it tight.
"What? No! I just needed fresh air. That's it!" you tried to justify yourself.
"Mother won't be happy about this, don't you think?" another voice entered the room, you saw it was Cassandra who came out of her fly swarm.

"It's not even my work hours yet. So this doesn't count!" you explained to them both, but they just laughed.

"Oh come on, we're hungry for some fresh blood~" Daniela said giggling and pulling out her sickle.

Another swarm of flies came and it was Bela. Great, the 3 crazy sisters were back to haunt you, this time at night.

"It's not fair that mother keeps you for herself~" Cassandra added and also pulled out her sickle.

You tried to struggle Danielas grip but she just tightend it the more you struggled.

'Well here we fucking go again...' you thought and closed your eyes.
You just heard them giggle as they launched their sickles at you.

"Cassandra! Daniela!" someone shouted their names in an stern tone.

Both of them flinched back and looked up to the person. It was your Countess.

"What were you two thinking of doing with her?" Lady Dimitrescu asked.

"M-mother! We...we thought that she tried to escape-" Cassandra tried to explain their actions but was cut off by her Mother.
"Silence! Do you really think she would come far in the village? Heisenbergs lycans would get to her sooner or later anyways, if that happened" she looked at them waiting for an answer.

"Well? What do you got to say?"

"We're sorry Mother..." both of them apologised in unison, Bela looked at them and then at you with a piercing look which didn't mean anything good.

"Now go back to your rooms" she demanded and they left in the speed of light. Your Countess now looked down to you.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left in the first place. It's just.." you tried to explain your nightmare to her "It's just that I've been having nightmares ever since I started working here"

She tilted her head "Go on."
"There I saw this weird...figure standing above me...I don't remember how they looked like but...I could tell that they had some sort of wings..." you explained.

"Wings you say..." she seemed like to think but then shook her head "Let's talk about this later, after you finish your chores in the morning" she said and turned around to go back to her room.

You were still uneasy about the weird figure. You were wondering if it has something to do with your memories, but you just couldn't put your finger on it. You went back to her room and snuggled yourself into the blankets. You started to drift back to sleep but then you noticed something.

'Wait a damn minute..why the hell was she awake-'

You opened your eyes back up and looked over to your Countess, who was sleeping peacefully.
Trying to ignore everything you went back to sleep, which didn't work so well.

About 2 hours had passed before you could finally drift to sleep, back to the nightmares.

This time you weren't inside a small village coughing blood. No, this time you were in some sort of big cabin, chained up. You looked around and couldn't make out any faces just the outline of 6 people. 2 seemed very familiar. One of them was the figure from the Village, they approached you and started talking which you could barely make out what it was. Meanwhile you tried to make out who the other familiar figure was, they seemed to be arguing with someone else, it seemed like they were arguing about, you?

The figure with the wings turned around and pulled you up from the chains and pointed at you and then to the familiar outline. They forced you to walk up to them, it felt like you were being, traded? gifted?
Whatever it was, you didn't like it. They were talking again and all you could make out was them saying something in unison.

"Yes, Mother Miranda"
