~ 𝒎𝒚 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 ~ Lady Dimitrescu x female reader

3 days?

You opened your eyes slowly, without wasting a second you look around immediately sitting up in the process

You look down to come face to face with two white bandages wrapped around your fragile forearms, you pouted a bit at the sight, reliving the memories of the past events in your head, the last thing you could remember was being brought to the infirmary by your lady

'Wow..she was strong, she picked me up with ease' you blushed slightly at the thought that someone- a woman might you add- could pick you up, it made you flustered

"Wait a second... how long was I out for?" You suddenly snapped back to reality, looking out the window, it was starting to get dark

You looked around your room and got up and out of your bed, stretching/arching your back slightly and yawning before noticing a note placed next to your bedside table

"Meet me in my private chamber once you've woken up, signed by Lady Dimitrescu" you read aloud

'What could she possibly want me for? Weren't I not just one of her many other maids working for her?' You scratched your head softly and spotted an outfit on the small vanity in the corner of your room, there was another note

"This will be your new attire, please do wear it at all times apart from when it's time for bed" your eyes shifted from the note to the attire

You examined the puffy black skirt, the white blouse and the black apron. Beside the main set of clothing were, black flats with white thigh high socks and garter belts to keep them up 'is this proper attire?...well, for a maiden in a super high end castle maybe?' You didn't question it for too long

You took a moment before you got undressed from your clothes drenched in blood and put on the handed attire, the tight fit truly showed the curvature in your hips, you looked at yourself in the mirror before stepping out your room and grinned a tiny bit

As soon as you walked out you realized you had no idea where to go, you simply started to look around for anyone to give you a hand with directions, but it was deserted, a shiver crawled up your spine 'this is all so creepy'

Before you could take another step a swarm of flies came baring towards me, developing into a black cloaked woman- cassandra-

You gasped and took a step back

'Oh this can't be good..'

The young woman snickered at you and smirked "my my~ I haven't even done anything yet and you're already quivering" she gave you a sly smile

You couldn't help keeping your eyes on her sickle waving dangerously close to your face, you took a dry gulp and exhaled slowly trying not to show fear

"W-what do you w-want" you cursed at yourself for stuttering so much but you truly couldn't help it

"Only the taste of your sweet blood!~" she gripped her sickle tighter and waved it closer to your fragile skin, nicking a small cut on your shoulder smirking as she saw you tremble more 'oh..oh gosh, please no, I can't die now.. I barely did anything with my life..'

Cassandra's arm swung over her head ready to strike it down to impale you, you shut your eyes tight and held up your arms over your head to protect it as much as you could, ready to feel the pain the young lady was about to put you through

A couple seconds went by but it felt like hours, you slowly opened your eyes to see Lady Dimitrescu's hand on her daughter's wrist, stopping her from striking you

"Now now Cassandra, what have I told you the other day? She's not your toy- she our newly recruited maid-"

'Other day?... have I really been asleep for that long?..'

"Yes mother... my apologies" the younger woman replied to her morher

"Now, be a dear and go play with your new man thing in the basement" she patted her daughter's head softly and gave her a slight smile

The other woman only nodded and vanished into a swarm of flies again

You took a deep breath and looked down at your black shoes

Lady Dimitrescu noticed this and raised an eyebrow "Y/N?"

"Y-yes? My lady" You looked up quickly to meet the Countess's yellow golden eyes

"Are you alright? Have you been harmed?"

You shook your head slowly

"Good. Now, please tell me why you're roaming the halls past curfew, I expect you to be in your room tidying up and getting ready for tomorrow" she bent down slightly and examined your face

"I- oh, I didn't know it was past curfew.. I-I've only just woken up- I don't know what time it is, and I read your note to come to your chamber after I've awoken, my lady" you played with the ends of your apron, nervously waiting for the countess's reply

She looked down at you "Ah, right the note. My apologies dear, that was quite a while since I've written that, I've been so busy recently" she sighed at herself

"Quite a while?... My lady, how long have I been unconscious for?" You asked curiously

"I would say 3 days now dear" she replied with full honesty and kept looking down at your small physique

Your jaw hanged slightly surprised you were even able to stay unconscious for that long, you cleared your throat after a small moment of staying silent "o-oh, I apologize my lady" you stammered out, not knowing what to say next

"Apology? No need for that, it's getting late though don't you think? We'll pick this back up in the morning so I can tell you your duties and explain you the basics"

You nodded and get her a small proper bow "of course my lady, goodnight"

She appreciated the proper gesture "goodnight, Y/N." she turned around and walked to her study

You turned around as well, guiding back to your room. Heading in, you immediately closed the door behind you and rubbed the back of your neck, looking up to see Lady Dimitrescu strained you quite a bit, she was 9'6 after all, and you were simply 5'6 so there was quite a height difference

You looked around your room once more failing to realize you had silk pyjamas on top of your dresser, looking at the clock ticking on your wall as it struck 10:47 you put on your pyjamas and neatly folded your maiden attire

"For a girl who just slept for 3 days straight, I sure still am tired.." you yawned and rubbed your eyes softly, putting out the candle who lit the whole room next to your nightstand, you tucked yourself into bed and slowly dozed off into a light sleep
