the red apple (lady dimitrescu x fem)

I

It was a quite windy day and I was picking apples from the trees nearby our village.

Something felt off but I'd go on to assume that's only from the horrible weather conditions; the amounts of wind had ruined a lot the previous night, hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it came up in the newsletter that a human was blown away.

I grabbed a green one, another green one and noticed a very fresh looking bright red apple. I went to grab it and it fell onto the cold grass, I bent over to pick it up but the wind seemed to have made it roll around quite a bit.

I ran towards it, holding my long skirt so it would stop going absolutely everywhere. I kept going, though it seemed endless. This is scientifically impossible.

It stopped right near the entrance of the crazy castle, thank god. I bent over and went to pick it up but.. there'd been a string attached to it?

I touched the string and before I knew it, a wet cloth that smelled like rubbing alcohol was held onto my mouth with great force, then nothing.

I was so scared for moments before. The minute I saw the string, I felt somebody watching me but didn't even bother to turn. I'm an idiot.

I awoke to being dragged on freezing cold tiles by some man. I screamed with all of my power, it echoed through the halls of what I realized, or thought I realized was some sort of old mansion. It was such a horrible adrenaline rush, this is where and how I die.

He turned towards me and pointed a huge hammer to my face. "Shut the hell up, could you?!" he yelled at me, furious. Tears were rolling down my face.

I heard heels slowly clicking from far away and ignored his commands. I screamed, a little weaker now due to my terror.

The heels stopped before going faster and slowly becoming louder and louder.

He turned to me and aggressively grabbed me up and then threw me back on the floor. "Look at what you've done!" he whispered, yet it was still yelling, while pointing at the direction of the heels behind me and out of my view.

I huddled up into a ball and tried to protect my face with my hands hovering over it.

The heels were faster and faster, closer and closer and within seconds of his yelling, a woman was definitely far behind me right over the stairs.

She scoffed or something, as if this wasn't something new for her. I was in shock, I couldn't speak and sure as hell couldn't complain.

The noise of her heels started filling the quiet halls once more, but were now slow.

"You've just brought your silly little games here once again." she said.. Games?

She looked down at me from above and I slowly moved my hands away from my face. I looked up at her, seeing her upside down, maybe it's just because of the insane adrenaline rush but she seems very tall.

She looked back up at the man with disgust. "Leave the poor girl be, Heisenburg. She's not deserving of this treatment."

He came over next to her and now I could notice the height difference. Visibly upset, he firmly yelled out "Stay out of my goddamn business."

She rolled her eyes and almost started to leave. She watched as I whined and he flinched at me, threatening to hit me. I cried out and her face seemed more and more angered by each passing moment.

"Give her to me." she said.

He grew impatient. "And why should I do that?!"

She frustratingly yelled at Heisenburg, "Because you've brought her into MY castle, disrupted EVERYONE in the castle and all after I made it EXTREMELY clear that you are not to bring in your games into me and my daughter's goddamned lives!" castle? I'm in the castle? Daughters?

Her yelling made me feel very uneasy, I held my tears back and was definitely hyperventilating.

He rolled his eyes, attempting to keep himself calm. "What the hell are you gonna do with her? She doesn't have your precious man-blood, you know?"

She laughed. "Child, don't bother the adults and go play." she said, mockingly.

He deeply exhaled, "Fine." he said.

He started walking the direction the woman came from, and on the way, kicked me in the side which happened to be in my ribs. I grunted and tightly held onto my side.

I heard a large door open and looked up above me, it was the outside of the castle. I was in the castle. The door closed and the woman shouted for her daughters. "Daughters!"

A swarm of many flies appeared all around the room and they came together and formed 3 different girls. I must be hallucinating, those stairs have taken a toll on my head.

The woman sighed, "Nurse her back to health, I'll figure out what to do with her later."

They seemed confused, "Uh.. Mother.. you want us to nurse a human back to health?"

Her expression was soft towards them, unlike towards the man. "Please, do as I say." she said.

They nodded, "Yes, mother." they said.
