A soft shine of the sun woke you up, you don't remember when you brought yourself on the bed nor do you remember the day before.

All you could remember was the food that was cooked for you. You looked over to the plate and saw how empty and clean it was,

"Did I really..." you didn't want to think about it.

You stood up and took the glass of water that was half full and drank it, the taste was awful, almost making you vomit. As you finished drinking the door to your room was unlocked and opened. You expected one of the daughters, but it was your Mistress herself. As she entered through the small door, she looked at you, a little surprised that you were already awake.

"Ah~ I see you're awake, this early?" she walked over to you, making you want to back away but you just froze up.

"Yes. The small shine of the sun woke me up..."

She looked over to your bed, where the sun was still shining to.

"Usually one of your daughters come to get me" you looked up at her.

"And? Aren't you ungrateful~ Half of the Maidens I had weren't even able to see me in person. Only time they were allowed to witness my presence, was when their death had been chosen" she smirked. Your eyes widened a bit,

"What is that supposed to mean?!"

She just laughed.

"I don't find that very funny"

"I certainly do. I wouldn't want my only Maiden to die now, would I?" she then thought.

Please stop thinking, who knows what ideas you might come up... you prayed in your own thoughts.

"Would I? I could just kill you now. The Castle wouldn't need much cleaning after you"

Your heartbeat fastened.

"I would be the last fresh source of blood though...right?" you slowly backed away.

"That is correct" she grabbed your arm and pulled you back to her, "You're also the only source of entertainment for my daughters~" she grabbed your chin with the other hand and took a good look at you.

I don't know if I should shit myself or not, be scared or feel something different...? Different? The fuck am I thinking about?

She let go of you and walked towards the door,

"Come, I want you to have this day off and take a shower." she didn't let you answer and was already gone.

What? A shower?? She allows me to do something different than cleaning?

You quickly ran out of the room to catch up with her.

"Wouldn't want you to catch any diseases now~" she smiled.

Oh. Yeah, of course it's for her own benefit..

You sighed and just followed her outside into a courtyard, through there she walked up a few steps and lead you into a different section of the Castle. As expected, there were more stairs. You sighed at the sight and proceeded to walk. She finally stopped at a door and looked down at you.

"I've already prepared you the things you need, make it quick and meet me in the wine room again" she instructed you and walked the stairs back down.

"Is it really my blood that she wants to keep alive?" you shook your head and got inside the bathroom. It only had a big bathtub inside and a new set of clothes next to a shelf. There you saw something familiar.

You quickly grabbed it and inspected it closer, checking if it really was what you thought it was.

It was.

Magnolias bracelet!

You put it back on the clothes and felt better then ever, knowing that they hadn't thrown it away.

"What is this woman planning...I must be dying today right...?"
