~Crimson tainted~ //Lady Dimitrescu x Fem reader

Lady of the night

Sorry for being a bit inactive with the chapters. I started playing Resident Evil: Village almost a week ago but I haven't rushed it so it might take me a while. After I'm done with it I'll be writing a lot more occasionally.

Y/N's POV

(This chapter will include lady d's POV as well finally :D)

A month had passed since my first encounter with the lady and I had been working at the castle as a simple maid, lady dimitrescu being low on staff at the moment.

Life had been a lot easier than what It had been with my husband, but at night things got weird. One night when I was cleaning near the cellars, I thought I had heard faint screams or cries of help.

The rotten stench that came from the cellar had already aroused my suspicions, but this had done it. Despite the lady's orders, I had to see what was going on in the lower grounds for myself.

It wasn't hard for me to find the source for all the screaming, for when I entered the cellar I found a fresh body, deep bite marks still present on the neck. It had been one of my co-workers, a maid just like me.

Investigating further, I found blood droplets on the floor that led to yet another body, this time being feasted on by none other than the lady of the castle herself.

I knew she was nowhere near a human but I wasn't expecting her to do such acts. She noticed me standing in the narrow corridor, and I was met with a pair of glowing yellow eyes like a predator's, staring through my very core.

Lady D's POV

I was in the middle of devouring yet another incompetent maid when I had heard someone entering the cellars. I recalled telling one of my newest maidens Y/N only to clean up near the cellars and to refrain fom entering at any cost. I just might have to punish her later for not obeying direct orders.

Just like I had suspected, Y/N came down the corridor and found me with the now almost dead maiden, Y/N being shocked at the sight. I didn't wish for her to see me being such un-ladylike but I fear it may be too late.

I wiped off the remaining blood from my face with a small cloth and stood up to meet eyes with Y/N again. "I apologize you for seeing such things, but I did tell you not to go into the cellars, did I not?", I asked as I wrapped up the body and threw it with the others. Y/N was still standing in the corridor, frozen out of fear and not knowing what to expect from me next.

"Shall I show you what happens when you disobey me or are we clear?", I wasn't really in the mood for punishing her yet so I decided to let her go. Y/N finally nodded in obedience.
"Just make sure this doesn't happen again, you don't want to get on my bad side.", I said and led Y/N out of the cellars.

Y/N's POV

After leaving the cellars, I didn't view the castle the same as I had before. It had been a safehouse compared to my former home back in the village, but now it was just like all the other locals had told me,
"nothing but blood and death".

I was worried that the same would happen to me if I made even the slightest of mistakes. So I had avoided causing any trouble. By that, the lady was surprisingly gratified with me that I even got promoted to her personal maiden. It was the best position to be in after head maiden, and I was more than alright with that.

Being promoted also came with privileges, I wouldn't have to do the dirtiest of works anymore and I could roam the castle as I pleased. The pay was also pretty good. There were some downsides though. By being her personal maiden, I was almost like her personal live stock as well. Being the scaredy-cat that I was, I had agreed to let her feast on me whenever her cold heart desired. I had felt worse pain than what it would inflict upon me. For now, I played along and would let time figure out the rest, just to survive.

Just wanted to throw in a new chapter after so long, apologies since it's only 798 words, not my favorite chapter, but after I'm done with my playthrough of RE8 I can focus and invest time in writing a lot more and school won't be in the way either for a while.
