Blatant Lies (yandere mlqc vampires x reader)

candlelight flickering

Y/n woke up to Rivers gentle prodding. she was smiling warmly, making Y/n realize she wasnt in her familiar bedroom. she sat up quickly, looking around for a moment and then noticed she was in luciens study. 

"goodmorning miss, did you sleep alright?" river asked. 

y/n nodded, peering around to see if lucien was still here. 

"the master had to leave abruptly this morning. its only master Gavin and victor today." river said. 

she motioned for Y/n to stand up, dusted her off and straightened her clothes, and then took her hand. 

"im sorry i wasnt here yesterday, i heard that Master Gavin had to take you shopping, i was feeling under the weather and decided it was better to not get you sick." River said. 

"wait, how do you feel now? you cant be better after only one day!"

river smiled at Y/n and shook her head. "it was merely a cold, i promise. either way im feeling much better now, and just in time to!" she said. 

there was a hint of excitement on her face. 

"why just in time?" Y/n asked. 

River lead her into the dining area. 

"youll need to take breakfast to go alright? we have to head to victors study now. hes brought a tailor and a seamstress to make your gown for tonight." River said. 

"gown? what for?" y/n asked. 

"the dinner party, didnt lucien mention it?" river asked. 

she had put biscuits and cookies onto a tray, a pot of tea and a tea cup with sugar. 

"oh right, i honestly thought he was joking. why am i going to a dinner party?"Y/n asked. 

river motioned for Y/n to follow, and soon they were walking briskly along the halls. 

"im not sure, victor doesnt like to go alone, plenty of masters bring their own food aswell, fear of being poisoned runs high in these functions. they arent dull though so dont worry. wine, dancing, and dress competitions happen all night." river said excitedly. 

"dress competitions?"

"to see who is the best dressed. theres typically a theme surrounding these things, i heard this one is starry night, like the van gogh painting. whoever wins get some free coin. its quite fun from what ive heard." River said. 

she didnt like the idea of having dozens of vampires gawk at and judge her. but winning free money is always nice, you can never have to much money. 

the morning had already felt rushed, and things were going to get far worse before the dance tonight. 

Y/n entered the room, and a hush fell over Victor and the older man he was speaking to. 

"finally, did you think today would be the day to get beauty sleep?" Victor said curtly. 

he grabbed Y/ns wrist and pulled her in front of a set of mirrors. 

"sir she hasnt eaten-"

"she shouldve gotten up on time then, we have much more to do than wait around for her." Victor said. 

he was much ruder than normal. the older gentleman got to work, measuring each part of her body down to the centimeter, his hands worked expertly and quickly, he muttered to himself the whole time. 

she felt a bit uncomfortable. Victors eyes shown darkly in the morning sun, he was glaring into her soul. the seamstress was writing down measurements and sketching on a peice of paper, murmuring to her helpers about the dress design, and measurements.
