A Mother's Obsession | Lady Dimitrescu X Boy Reader

Chapter 27

You had been running through the halls from your sisters. You were playing tag with them. You have not been seen for a while by then and you just hid behind corners and vases carefully.

The castle halls are quiet when it is just you around. It feels like the entire place is abandoned and you are exploring a new place that seems familiar.

The entire house settles calmly as your little bare feet patter on the wooden plank floors or the quart slabs that both felt very cold but you were used to it.

The creaking felt so peaceful.... but that is a little bit of a distraction when it comes to trying to stay away from your sisters who are trying to catch you. Cassandra was it from who you have seen last time but you know not to trust anybody because they could be secretly on.

You go into the study and peep out the keyhole. You hear two swarms and laughter. Cassandra seemed to be swarming away from Bela.

You lock the door to make sure they would not suspect a thing from the other side of the door and you could relax without being caught.

You sit down on your mother's chair that she uses to sit down while writing notes. You see some of her notes and look through a few.

Most of the notes were boring but you see some of you and how much she adores you.

You smile widley at the notes on how much of a good boy you are being. You have never misbehaved. The only time you almost had a tantrum was cut by comfort. You were upset about being a little late for bedtime. You were annoyed you were not on time and almost caused a fuss.

Your mother calmed you down before you kicked into gear.

Also there was the time when you went to her chambers without your mother's permission for the necklace.

These all seemed like reports on your daily activities and a schedule. Your eyes were all over the place seeing everything your mother has done for you. She has put so much hard work into keeping you happy and safe, you already knew that.

The sounds of a handle make you snap out of your happy experience and you hid in the cupboard.

"Mother must be in there." "No she isn't. She is in her wine cellar... but why would she lock the door behind?" Your sisters were outside talking and then they swarmed into the room searching.

You manage to unlock the door and run off.

"I hear him!" Bela screams as they swarm out and see you barley turning a corner.

The swarming noises began to increase in volume as you are trying to lose them.

You run up the stairs and enter the wine room. It was empty and you waited until the heat died down.

Eventually, they lost you and you went out of the room.

The quietness was tense. You kept your guard up and you looked around for a safe place. You enter a room with bells and you see a giant painting of a woman in a white dress.

She looks... familiar.

There was a creak like entrance and you went through it and found a ladder. You climbed up to the top and found a attic. You have never been in this part of the castle.

You found a sheet of paper and found a note. It was about some Dagger that... could kill demons and monsters.

You then hear a noise from behind. It was one of those monsters again. You then gasp and make your nail go through it's neck. It walks back and passes out onto the floor. You then ran to the ladder and climbed down.

You started to tear up in fear. It almost happened again. Your thoughts made you curl up into a ball and you sobbed quietly.

You sobbed in a ball for twenty minutes until Cassandra found you.

"Brother. Is something the matter?" She asks holding your hand.

You look behind you and shake.

"Was it a rat?" She asks.

"I almost got attacked again by those things!" You shriek quietly as you lay your face onto her belly and cry.

"Not again. Did it hurt you?" She asks looking all over you.

"No. I think I killed it by accident though." You wipe your eyes with your arm as Cassandra pulls you up to her lap after she kneels to the floor.

"Cassandra! Did you find him?" Bela yells from the other room.

"He is in here. He almost got attacked from one of those rejects again and he is upset." She calls out.

Bela then swarmed in and noticed you crying into her chest as she held you tight for comfort.

"Should I inform mother?" She asks rubbing your head to Cassandra.

She shakes her head so they could try make you calm down for a change. Cassandra started to hush you as your tears were falling onto your shirt, her lap and her necklace.

Her calming voice was effective but not by much. You were still crying but not as much.

"Daughters! What is going on? Why is y/n crying? Is he okay?" Your mother came into the room in worry and walked over.

"He almost got attacked by another one of your failed experiments mother." She said as she gives you to her.

She then makes a sad face. "Not again. I swear to god if they lay another finger, I'll let them starve to death instead of feasting on our victims."
She said as she grabbed you from Cassandra and placed you onto her chest.

She then began to hum and held you close. Her voice calmed you down and made you stop crying.

"Come on now sweetheart. Let's do something together hm?" She whispered trying to get you to smile. You did not though.

"Hmm... I see. We should get you a little something." She says as she holds you tighter and she walks off to the dining room.

A little while later

You are getting ready for bed. You brushed your teeth, you have had a bath (unfortunately) and you are all dressed. You pull your covers and as soon as you lay one foot onto the bed,

"GAH!" You yelp as you were being lifted up. "You are sleeping with me tonight little one. I don't want you sleeping upset now do I?" Your mother says as she settles you on her hip.

She then walks all the way down to her room and tucks you in before she got in herself.

She turned you around to face her and she put her hand onto your little chin. "Poor thing. Did you use your nail?" She asks as she rubs your chin.

You nod to her. "Good boy." She kisses your cheek and she hugs you close to her. "If you get any nightmares, feel free to wake me up." She whispers as she blows the candle.

2am (Lady Dimitrescu POV)

You wake up seeing y/n kick in his sleep. He is having a nightmare. You place your hand onto his side and he calms down. You smile slightly as you are about to yawn.

Poor child. Why does his life have to be so dangerous?
