Blood Like Yours | Lady Dimitrescu x Female Reader

Chapter 10: Deals

You woke up in the morning and were greeted by the youngest daughter. Daniela stood at the door frame and waited for you to leave the room so she could lock it.

"I hope you enjoyed your meal~" she smiled maliciously. You were too tired to react and just walked past her, "I wasn't hungry, sorry" you answered. "You're so boring today. Where are your nice bold answers?" she locked the door and walked behind you. You didn't answer and just shrugged, you were thinking of how to get to your Countess' good side so she wouldn't kill you so early on, but then you realised something. Her daughters are the bigger problem, they were way more blood thirsty then her. You sighed, beginning to get a small headache the more you tried to think of a way to get out of here. You picked up a bucket which was already filled with water for you. The daughter kept on watching you and it started to make you a bit nervous.

"Is there something wrong?" you turned to her slowly. She shook her head,

"I like to watch my food while they're still alive. It's interesting to see how they act before they swim in their own blood~" she giggled. You smiled while nodding, "I see..." you gulped and kneeled down to clean the floor while the crazy daughter kept watching you.

'I can't think in peace with some maniac next to me...' you finished cleaning the floor and stood up, turning to Daniela.

"Say. If I let you have a sip of my blood, would you and your sisters leave me alone? Just for today...?" you looked at her, feeling nervous. A smile formed on her face and she walked up to you,

"That's a good deal, bloodbag~" she pulled out her sickle and grabbed your arm, slicing it open, you bit your tongue to ignore the bigger pain. She didn't let one single drop go to waste and sucked in every blood cell that came flowing out of your arm. She sighed satisfyingly and let go of your arm,

"What makes you actually think I would do what you want?" Daniela smiled. You held your arm and felt dizzy, as an answer though, you just shrugged.

"Your Mother said my blood apparently tastes good, I take it does for you too. Now imagine if I would just dissapear, there would be no more blood like mine inside this Castle, which means for you no Maiden Blood" you looked at her, hoping it would somehow convince her to leave you alone. Her smile slowly disappeared and she bit her lip, thinking. "Also, I'm the only Maiden right now. I'm your only source of good food" you added. Daniela growled and dissapeared in her swarm, leaving you alone. You let out a big sigh and smiled to your Victory.

You grabbed the bucket and walked past the wine room. It was strangely quiet today, very quiet, you continued to clean up the rooms though and didn't bother to question anything further.

After a while the front door of the Castle opened and was quickly closed again, heavy footsteps approached the main hall, where you were inside, cleaning a few statues. You turned around and bowed to your Countess. She smirked and raised an eyebrow,

"This is quite the improvement from you" she praised you. You smiled and thanked her, "I had a long night for myself and I thought about a lot" you said.

"Is that so?" You nodded. "Then enlighten me of a few things you thought about" she crossed her arms and waited for you to start. You stopped bowing and gulped,

Shit I didn't actually think of anything... you started to improvise,

"I want to be a perfect Maiden for you, till my day comes. Its the least I can do now I guess. And I've got nothing to lose, other then my life.." you chuckled nervously. She tilted her head and nodded, "Very well. Good luck then" she turned around and walked into another room. You exhaled and wiped away some sweat.

"Let's hope she believes me for now..."
