Lady Dimitrescu and Hekate's Follower

Chapter 27: Her Spy

"Karl?" Alcina was still asleep on the couch, her hand resting on her face. She was talking in her sleep, waking Melania up. She was frowning, a slight crease formed between her eyebrows. Her mouth was slightly open, and her hair was wild around her head. Melania's necklace had been pressing on her breast, leaving an almost perfect print of the Dimitrescu crest. Melania's arm was dead, and her on leg somehow ended up under Alcina's. They haven't moved from the position they fell asleep in, not moving for the entire night. No wonder her arm was dead.
"Karl, are you awake?" Alcina mumbled, a soft snore following. Upon hearing his name, Melania remember the events of yesterday, looking around the room. She didn't see anyone, besides Daniela sleeping peacefully. She was laying on her stomach, her one arm hooked behind her back and a few strands of her red hair in her mouth. Melania smiled. Suddenly they heard Karl scream in agony, coming from one of the rooms. Alcina jolted upright, sending Melania flying off the couch. Daniela jumped up, looking ready to fight, but confused and half asleep.
"Melania! Sorry love! Where's Karl? Why is he screaming?" she immediately ran out of the room, towards the screaming. Melania and Daniela was right behind her. They burst through the door, Melania almost hitting her head. They saw Donna busy undoing Karl's bandages, checking his wounds. It looked like his wounds were healed, but one of his fingers looked freshly broken. Donna had to snap his finger again, because it had healed wrong, so that it can heal properly. Alcina sighed in relief, seeing Cassandra standing next to Donna.
"Are you alright, Karl? Cassandra, my darling." she hugged her daughter tightly.
"Yes mother, I am perfect. I am glad to see that you are alright as well." Cassandra said.
"Brother?" Melania asked and looked at Karl.
"All good sis. That just fuckin hurt like a bitch."he smiled slightly as Alcina took a seat next to him, placing her hand on his shoulder. Alcina took a deep breath.
"Karl, there's, something we have to tell you." Alcina said softly, Melania had completely forgotten about Jack. Alcina was about to tell him the bad news, when the door behind them opened. Melania looked around and saw Jack, carrying wine glasses and a bottle of wine. Alcina's eyes widened, and Melania's mouth hung open, both frowning.
"What the fuck?" Melania muttered. He had a broken neck not too long ago.
"What? How are you here?" Alcina asked, grabbing Melania's hand out of instinct.
"I'm not sure I follow, my ladies? Care to elaborate?" Jack said, also looking confused.
"What are you two on about?" Karl asked.
"We saw you, with a broken neck, Jack. You were dead?" Melania asked and Karl started laughing.
"Oh, right. Yes, of course. That did happen. But when I die, I don't remember that I did. I cannot die, my ladies. The only way I can die, is by fire." he said, smiling at them.
"That's... Interesting. Next time, maybe mention something like that. Look what you did to Melania." Alcina pointed at her lover, looking like she's seen a ghost. Alcina laughed and Melania rolled her eyes.
"Well, I'm glad you're not dead." Karl said as Jack gave him a kiss.
"Lady Dimitrescu, Lady Dracos, I have a gift for you. Just a way of saying thank you for welcoming me into your home." he smiled a charming smile, making Melania narrow her eyes slightly. He was dressed formally, his long blonde hair neatly tied in a pony tail.
"That wasn't necessary, Jack. But thank you." Melania said, playfully wrestling with Daniela.
"Oh I insist. May I present to you, Alexandra and Luca. They're your new personal handmaids. They are exceptionally well trained, and they have a lot of experience." he said, yanking two people into the room by their shirts. Alexandra was wearing a standard maidens outfit and Luca a butler's outfit. But the outfits were dirty, and ripped, looking as if it wasn't replaced or washed for years. They were identical twins, both had fiery red hair and freckles resting under emerald green eyes.
"An honor to meet you, my ladies." they said in unison, bowing slightly.
"Why thank you, Jack. We were actually looking for a new handmaid." Melania said. She noticed however, that every time Jack's hand came close to them, they flinched slightly.
"Mm indeed. Shall we show them around my love? Explain things to them?" Melania asked, gently holding Cassandra and Daniela by the collars of their shirts. Alcina was holding Bela by the hood of her jacket. They seemed extremely interested in the two humans.
"Girls, suficient." Alcina said in her dominant voice, making the girls look at her in submission.
"Yes, mother."
"Now, Alexandra and Luca. Give us thirty minutes to finish upstairs. My daughters will bring you to our chambers. Understood?" Melania said taking Alcina's hand.
"Yes, Lady Dracos." they said. Melania and Alcina head to their bathroom.
