Blood Like Yours | Lady Dimitrescu x Female Reader

Chapter 7: Hopeless

The cold winter breeze hit your face, instantly making you freeze.

"I should've looked for something warm first..." you sighed. You checked the area outside before leaving, there were no lycans out, which you found weird. You slowly walked down the path, trying to listen to any sounds, but it was quiet, everything was dead silent.

"This is way too quiet and way too easy..." you tried your best to brush the feeling off and continued to walk the path down to the exit which you entered from the beginning, stopping at a gate. The gate wouldn't open, making your heart drop,

"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit." you felt your whole body shake. You looked around and tried to find another way to leave this cursed Castle,

"I can't get over the wall, that's way too high..." but you decided to try it anyways. You took a few steps back, before you sprinted you looked down at the dress, which would just make you trip and fall. You grabbed the end of the dress and ripped it off easily,

"Huh? I wonder what kind of fabric they used for this" you couldn't be bothered with it any further and tossed the ripped part away, readying yourself and then sprinting towards the wall. You jumped up and barely could hold yourself up, some parts of the wall were sharp, slicing up your legs and arms.

"Fuck this hurts!" you groaned and tried to climb up the rest but it was hopeless. You fell back on the ground and sighed, while your blood soaked into the white snow. You looked at your arm and lifted your sleeve, looking at the bracelet Magnolia left you. Your grip around the sleeve tightened, also slighlty ripping that part off, images of Magnolias dead body flashed before your eyes, the sounds of her blood being squeezed out of her body echoed all around you. You slammed your hand into the ground multiple times and felt tears roll down your face. It was too cold to move, so you curled yourself into a ball, warming yourself, as your eyes got heavier making you fall into a slumber.

------------------------

A painful sting in your arm woke you up. You opened your eyes and looked around you. The room you were in was nice and cozy, the bed under you was soft and looked pretty, the sheets had weird patterns, but that wasn't any of your concern. You looked down to your arms and saw a few bandages around them, including on your legs.

"You're finally awake" the familiar voice startled you. You turned to the voice and saw your Countess sitting on a chair at her vanity, looking at a bracelet.

"I was wondering where her little accessory went to" she smiled and turned her head to you,

"Give that back! It doesn't belong to you!" you growled at her.

"And neither does it belong to you" she smiled. You clenched your fists and just glared at her.

"This isn't a way to thank me, now is it?"

"Thank?! I would've preferred to die out there then spending the rest of my life here!"

Your Countess got up from the chair and walked over to you, sitting down on her bed,

"You would've either died out in the cold, or be eaten alive by lycans. Maybe both. Now is that really something you want to happen?" she grinned down to you. You frowned and got up from the bed,

"Yes. That's way better then having to live every day inside this Castle, working your ass off and then being turned into fucking wine!" you walked over to the door to leave, but your Countess had your arm in a very tight grip, she turned you around and held you in a chokehold.

"Don't be so naive, little one. You will not escape this Castle, I made sure of that. Why don't we make a truce for now?" she let go of your neck to let you speak,

"You want me to make a truce with YOU? After YOU let your crazy daughters kill Magnolia?? And then YOU wanted me to drink HER blood. AND YOU WANT TO MAKE A TRUCE?" you yelled at her.

"Yes. It would be better for you to be on my good side and if not" she raised her hand and extracted her claws, "Let us say, the next few things you will be experiencing won't be so pleasing for you~" she smiled and waited for your answer. You gulped and didn't have any other choice then to say "Yes". Your Countess let go of your arm and was pleased, she then retracted her claws. She called out to one of her crazy daughters and in the next few seconds, the blonde one appeared right next to her.

"Bela, be a good girl and show this Maiden her new room. Be sure to lock her up afterwards, tell Daniela to show her the rest of the Castle tomorrow morning, alright?" she looked down to her daughter, patting her head.

"Yes Mother" she smiled. Bela grabbed your arm and left the room with you. You didn't bother struggling and just wanted the day to end already, you wanted it to be just a terrible dream. Bela opened the door to a, surprisingly nice room. You expected it to be worse then the cells in the basement, but it wasn't. It was just a normal and ordinary room.

"Try to keep your blood fresh, I can't wait to taste it some day~" she giggled and shoved you into the room, locking it afterwards. You looked around and there were a few pictures of women hung up, looking a little like the three crazy sisters. You stopped at a table, it had a neatly folded dress on top of it, with a small note next to it, written by your Countess,

>Treat this one better then your last, the fabric is very expensive and fragile<

You couldn't care less about the dress and its stupid price, but you didn't want to anger her any more. You got rid of your old dress and folded it, laying it on the table. You took the other dress and sat down on the bed, looking out of the tightly shut window. The lights coming from the Village were calming to watch, you got into the new dress and then laid down on the bed, sighing. You slowly closed your eyes and tried to not think of anything, but the thought of the next morning, kept you up for a good hour.
