A Deer In The Village Of Lions {completed}

unfortunate - 6

(A/N: when I say that I have the BIGGEST most messed up crush on Alcina Dimitrescu.. that's what I mean! ^^ look at herrr😍😩)

I climbed up from the bed, still lowkey pissed off at how close I was.

Living in the Dimitrescu house I expected that though. My fortune has always been unfortunate.

Unfortunate fortune leaks from the walls in the house of Dimitrescu. Regardless of who it touches, it unfortunately touches everyone.

It was unfortunate for Mistress Bela to lose her life, she was the youngest. She was a piece of hell with blonde locks, but she was someone I watched after, for quite some time.

It was unfortunate for Mistress Daniela to always be overlooked, just trying to gain favor by behaving and experimenting like her mother. Only to be swept aside.

It was unfortunate for Cassandra for her need to stretch her wings and fly, to only be stopped. For her to try to live up to her mother's legacy, only to never truly feel enough because of her caring nature.

How unfortunate for Mistress Alcina, to be overlooked in her own family, and still do the same to her own daughters.
And me.
Too keep me around, yet shun me like I'm some sort of pariah.

It was unfortunate at how close I was to having sex with Cassandra.
It was unfortunate for me too. I was still no closer to finding out what I was, or what I could do.
I just knew something happened when I tasted my own blood.

Even though it was strictly forbidden for me to taste my blood, I should just go ask Lady Dimitrescu herself.

It would be unfortunate if she killed me.

How unfortunate.

But for who though? Would it be unfortunate for her because she would be losing a servant by putting me out of my misery?

Or would I lose a "family", would I be giving something up?

I guess we'll see.

...

I maneuvered through the halls, getting back to my room to find a new shirt.

My mind wandered about Bela and Ethan Winters. How strong was he to actually kill her. Especially with Bela being the most volatile of the three sisters. I wondered if he could kill Lady Dimitrescu herself.

My thoughts bumbled about in my head until I reached the secret entrance to Lady Dimitrescu's study. I knocked on the small white and gold door a few times, swallowing thickly.

I tried it again, getting no answer. I could hear her in there, talking. She sounded quite annoyed about something. Probably about Ethan killing Bela.

I turned around and head back to my room, grabbing my set of master keys that Lady Dimitrescu assigned me. She would probably be mad about me unlocking her door, however for some reason, it really didn't matter to me.

On the way back down the hall, I could hear the familiar buzz of flies behind me. Somewhere far away.
I turned my head to see a head full of blackish brown hair.

"Cassandra?!" I called, desperation in my voice. I even dropped the honorifics. I didn't realize how pathetic I sounded, especially since we didn't really do anything. It was like my soul was calling out for her.

Cassandra turned back around with a light hiss, her scythe in her hands and a killer look in her eyes. Something I had rarely seen in her.

I jogged up to her, noticing how golden her pupils looked.
