Y/N's POV


"Oh well, hello there, Y/N." My eyes slowly open and my head can't stop spinning. Once my vision is more clear, I see Miranda standing in front of me, I can't move because I'm tied up to a chair. I try to free myself from the restrains but it's impossible. She chuckles at my attempts and grabs a syringe nearby.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt,"

I try to scream but nothing comes out.


 "Soon you'll become one of us."


My eyes shot open and I get up frantically. 'I can still move...'
Realizing everything was part of a nightmare, I slowly get up and my stomach growls.
'Right...I haven't eaten since yesterday night.'
I notice that I have been sleeping in the Lady's bed again, but I only cleaned the Opera hall-
The memories of the Lady drinking my blood comes to my mind and my face heats up. I bury my face into the cushion pillows and cover myself with the bed sheets out of embarrassment. 

"Oh my, what are you doing Y/N?~" I uncover myself and meet with the sight of the Countess carrying a plate of food. I sigh and she gives me the food. When I finish eating, I put the plate on the nightstand and hug my knees to my chest. She tilts her head and caresses my cheek, making me look at her.

"Sorry...I just had a nightmare, also, thank you for the food, I should start with my chores." I get up but the Lady tugs my arm and pulls me into her lap. Luckily she's facing my back because I wouldn't want her to see me flustered face.

"Tell me what the nightmare was about, maybe I can help." She brushes some hair out of my face. I hesitate, since when did she become so soft? I sigh and tell her about my dream, of how Miranda was probably injecting me with the cadou or something. I hear her groan in annoyance and her grip around my waist tightens.

"I see...well, it's just a dream, nothing will happen." I roll my eyes and get up from her lap.

"That didn't help at all..." She huffs and stand up as well. She was about to say something, but I beat her to it.

"Also, since when did you become so soft and care about me?" I smirk and she huffs again, crossing her arms.

"I am not soft! And I do not care about you, I could drain your blood and kill you right now!" She turns to me and smirks.

"Or..." She pushes me onto the bed and pins me down, trailing her slim, pale fingers down my chest and unbuttoning my vest and then my blouse until my bra was visible. I was speechless.

"I could punish you in a different way too..." She purrs into my ear and nibbles on it before pulling away and licking her lips at my lying figure. My face was red like her crimson lipstick, I quickly covered my face and let out a silent scream.

"I would recommend you to button up your shirt before I get myself out of control because of you~" And with that, she ducks out of the room. I take deep breaths to try and calm down. I quickly button up my blouse and vest, then I go to the bathroom to prepare for my night shift. Entering the bathroom, I notice another set of my same clothing sitting on the toilet seat, along with my repaired mask.

'Well at least she fixed it...'

I get out of the shower and dry myself up before putting my new clothes on. I go out of the bathroom and the chamber after brushing my teeth, washing my face, drying and brushing my hair. I take yesterday's chores note out of my pocket and go to the kitchen since my next task was to wash the dishes. Everytime I get closer to the kitchen, the smell of rotten meat is more and more noticeable. I had to cover my nose to forbid the horrid smell from entering my nostrils.

I get to the sink and start washing the dishes. Halfway in, the next object catches my attention; A crimson glass, it seems like it was the glass Lady Dimitrescu was drinking from yesterday. I clean it and dry it, putting it in one of the counters. That's when I hear the sound of buzzing.

"I am surprised Mother has kept you for so long, it's probably because of your blood." That voice belonged to...Bela? Yes, Bela. 

"Yes, probably." I answer, not looking at her, although it was a little muffled because of my mask. I hear her getting her sickle and my sweat drops.

"Talking about your blood...you wouldn't mind me taking another sip, would you?" I put the dishes down carefully and turn the faucet off, turning around to face her. I show her my arm.

"Go ahead, just make it quick-" Before I could even finish, I feel her slice my arm open with her sickle. I almost scream in pain, and my eyes water. I feel her lips around the wound sucking my blood. I close my eyes, squinting some tears that slip down my cheek and out of my mask, barely visible for anyone to see.

"Bela Dimitrescu! What in the world are you doing to my personal maiden?!" My eyes shot open at the Lady's voice, and Bela stops immediately and let's go my arm to turn around and smile awkwardly at her mother.

"M-mother, she was the one who let me suck her blood, also she said she wanted to kill me!" I was about to defend myself since I never said it, but the Lady beats me at it.

"Enough! Don't lie to me, you are my daughter for Mother Miranda's sake! I heard it all from the corner!" I can feel Bela's sweatdrop, she gives me a hateful glare and apologizes to her mother before vanishing. Lady Dimitrescu comes closer and kneels down at my level.

"I...apologize for her behaviour, at least making you my personal maid will make them understand and leave you alone." She smiles sweetly at me and grabs my arm.

"Let me treat your wound." She offers but I quickly pull away and wave my hand above the wound to heal it.

"Did you forget I can heal myself?" I giggle. She crosses her arms before looking at me again.

"It's getting late, you have done a good job already, you'll be staying in my chambers If you don't mind." I nod and proceed to follow her to the room. Once we enter, she grabs a bathrobe her size, a nightgown and then goes inside the bathroom, but before telling me my nightgown was inside the closet. I walk up to the closet and open it, revealing the human sized nightgown inside. I take it out and change into it, I also untie my hair and ruffle it. I go to the bed and lay down on it.

After a while when I was about to fall asleep, I hear the bathroom door open and the Lady comes inside already in her nightgown. She goes to the vanity and removes her makeup before joining me in bed. I close my eyes when I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist tightly and pull me closer.

"You are warm Y/N." I turn around and snuggle closer to her chest, she giggles and lays her head on top of mine.

"Goodnight my dear, sleep well." She whispers as I was drifting off to sleep.

Lady Dimitrescu's POV


Making sure she was asleep, I carefully and gently place a kiss on her forehead, not wanting to wake her up. How was I warming up to a mortal? She...she is special, I have to admit it, but still, how?


'What spell did you use on me, Y/N?'
