Eclipsa de Lună 🌙

~{ 7 }~

The poor girl was shaking like a stray frostbitten kitten, during a cold winters night. The Lady could feel her heart beating so fast that it may just Pop right out of the girls chest. She could sense the girl was exhausted. With a small sigh, she stepped a bit closer to the corner the dear child was in.

The girl shifted up a bit in the ceiling nook as the Lady stood just below her. Alcina looks up at her with a soft smirk. "Now, now, dear. It's alright now." her tone was soft and warm. "Cassandra is gone now...So why don't you just come down, yes?" The girl looked over to the door the girls left from, timidly. But then she shrank back in the corner, shaking her head. Sigh. How Difficult...

The Lady can sense the girl doesn't know who or what to trust. It's almost quite heartbreaking to witness. She tried to think of the right words to say, in order to gain this poor child's trust to come down. "Now, dear child. I understand your fear. But you can't stay up there forever! So please. Just come down-" The girl shrunk back more, not budging from her spot. "N-No!..." her voice cracks down at the misterss. The woman frowns at her fearful outbrust.

Yet before Alcina's impatience could took over her, she instantly spotted light tears begin to threaten at the child's eyes. Her eyes widen at this with worry then shortly after shuts them, taking in a deep breath. "Alright....ok, Look." she slowly begins with another step forward. "I know your afraid. You have every right to be. All these new things are happening to you. And it Is all very petrifying." The girl looked over to the side, eyes beginning to water. "And I know my daughters can be...a bit too playful at times. But I promise you...no matter what happens...No Harm will come to you. Not under my care." The girl's shoulders and limbs relaxed a bit at the womans words. Alcina slowly raised a hand up to the girl. "Now, please. Come down, dear child. You must be hungry from all this commotion, hm?"

She watches patiently as the girl hesitates in her thoughts. But then, slowly, the girl moves away from the corner and hovers gently down on a cloud of green moths. Alcina reaches out her extended hand as the girl takes hold of it, gently leading the poor child to her side. Once she met the floor once again, the moths reform and she starts to wobble a bit while struggling to stand. Alcina quickly grabs up under her arms and gently holds up her from falling. "Oh dear... You are much more exhausted then I thought."

She looks over the girl's eyes. They are very distant and dilated. That can't be good. "My dear. When was the last time you have Fed? You look as if you haven't drank anything in years?" The girl tilted her head confused, eyes fluttering shut a bit. "F-fed?" she studdered. Her head began to whip back unconscious. "Ooh dear!.. Easy now!" Alcina quickly caught her head before it fell back. She then bent down and swooped the girl up into her arms.

"Dear, Mother Miranda..." she muttered with a sigh. She turned with the young girl in her arms towards a hall leading to the kitchens. "Come now, child... You need to Feed."

The Lady carefully made her way through the doors and hallways, not to shake the child to much. Soon she made it to the kitchens. There were maidens cleaning up and putting the meal that was going to be lunch now away. When they noticed their mistress in the room they all stopped and bowed, greeting her. Alcina ordered one to bring her a blood bag at once. The rest was all dismissed from the room. The maid returns with the bag and handed it to the Lady. "Leave us." she said cold but quiet. The maid bowed and shuffled out, eyes to the floor as they left.

Now alone, Alcina moved over to a small chair by a table and gently propped the girl in it. Then with small haste she move to a cupboard up on a wall and pulled out a glass. She extended a long black talon out from her gloved index finger and cut the bag of blood open at the top corner. She then carefully poured the thick, crimson liquid into the glass up to the brim. After the glass was filled, she grabbed a golden metal straw from a drawer, placed into the glass, and carefully brought it back to the girl.
