Authors Note:

Wanted to give ya'll one chapter before I play the game and cry my eyes out, again. I have seen spoilers and I would recommend you to stay away from tumblr for a while.
Enjoy.

START OF CHAPTER 9

You arrived back at the Castle with your Countess. You took off the jacket and laid it on the next drawer you found.
Lady Dimitrescu called out for her daughters, who quickly appeared infront of their Mother.

"You called us Mother?" Cassandra looked at her sisters confused.
"There are a few changes, regarding the. Maiden." Your Countess started and looked at you.
"

She will be no longer working as a Maiden for this Castle" she continued.

"What?!" You were shocked and confused.
"But why? My lady, I don't want to be rude but..-" your Countess cut you off.
"She will be working, for me, only." Lady Dimitrescu finished.
"But Mother! We waited for so long to taste her flesh. It's not fair..!" Daniela whined.
"There are plenty more you can choose from in the basement, but this one.." she walked towards you and held your chin up, making you look at her. "will be my little pet from now on~"

"My apologies, but what...exactly?" You couldn't believe your ears, all the years of cleaning this damned Castle, to fall this low.
"I know you heard me right the first time, my dear~" she stroke your face and turned back to her daughters.

"Castle Dimitrescu will also apparently take care of a girl named Rosemary Winters"

"Can we at least devour her..?" Daniela asked.
"No. It's Mother Mirandas order to take care of it. You can go now"

The daughters left as quickly as they appeared, now you were alone again with your Countess.

"And you can come with me. I'll have to tend your wounds" she said starting to walk back to her room.
"Lady Dimitrescu! You really don't need to tend my wounds every time I'm injured. I can take care of it myself...it's basic knowledge for a Maiden-" she cut you off.
"Well, you are not a Maiden anymore now are you?" she slightly tilted her head and smiled.
"...right. But I don't quite get what..I'm supposed to do now" you waited for an answer, but she just chuckled and opened the door to her room.

"It's the usual, just that you now only follow my orders, my daughters are excluded" she sat down at her vanity and pulled out a cloth, pouring rubbing alcohol on it. She stood back up and walked towards you, kneeling down to your height and holding your wounded face towards her.

"This might hurt a little" she said and gently rubbed the cloth on your face. And it surely did hurt, matter of fact, it burned and stinged like hell.
You turned your face away from her and held your pained face.

"Would you rather want me to lick it clean?" Your Countess asked.

You turned your head back to hers and had your eyes wide open.
"I- well. No..."
"Then let me continue cleaning it with the cloth, my dear~" she smiled and held your wound back to her face, cleaning it gently but fast.

"There we go. It wasn't all that bad now, was it?" She got back up and threw the cloth on her vanity.
"Thank you. And my lady...may I ask you something" you started.
"Hmm? You may." she answered, awaiting your question.
"Why did you make me your..uh..pet? Why do I have to stop working as a Maiden?" you asked her.
She sighed,

"Those were two questions my dear" she chuckled.
"Oh I-. I apologise, it's just came so unexpected and I'm very confused-"
"That was sarcasm" she smiled. Now you were kind of embarrassed.
'This whole thing is so confusing...I can't even think straight anymore to get simple sarcasm..'

"Well. I just decided it spontaneously. You don't have a problem with that, right?" She answered you.
"No. Not really...my lady"
"Good~"
You thought about the conversation Mother Miranda and your Countess had.
'Did she claim me as hers now..so Mother Miranda can't get me..? Or..am I just overthinking things..?' you looked up to your Countess wanting to ask her again, but you didn't want to bother her that much so you dropped it.

"So what are my new assignments for being...your...pet" you asked her.
"Since we'll be taking that..Rose thing in for a while. You will be helping me taking care of her" she answered you.

"Why aren't the other 3 helping....?"

"My daughters aren't capable of taking care of anything that has blood flowing through it without trying to devour it"

"I wonder where they got that from..." you said to yourself.

Your Countess turned around and sat back down at her vanity.

"One last thing my lady..." she didn't look up and waited for your last question.
"Could..we maybe change the name of my new...job?" You asked her carefully. She turned her head slightly towards you and then back to the vanity. You were getting nervous on why she didn't answer. Your Countess stood back up again and walked towards you, her big hats shadow covered her eyes which made her look more intimidating then usual.
Lady Dimitrescu slowly kneeled back down and gently took your face and pulled it towards hers.

"Why? Do you not like being my pet?" she asked, locking her eyes with yours. You never realised how pretty they were, until now. Her bright yellow eyes glowing in the light, I guess you were also never able to look at them so long without being scared to be killed by her.
"It's kind of-" you wanted to answer but she slightly tightened her grip around your face.
"Kind of uncanny?" she finished your sentence. You slowly nodded, fearing for your dear life. Your Countess grinned at you.

"Your heart is beating so fast right now. Are you that scared of being dominated by me?"
You just gulped and were too nervous to answer. She let go of your face and you felt something warm drip down, it was your blood. Lady Dimitrescu smiled and came closer.

"Let's not let this delicate blood go to waste now~"
She said, licking it off from your face.
