Sweet Silence [Daniela x Female!Reader] [COMPLETE]

"A dream come true."

"Perfect," Daniela giggled before grabbing her glass of wine again. "Let's split this bottle then."

"With pleasure," I whispered as she took a sip of her wine. "How long have you liked me?"

"Since I saw you," Daniela hummed and let me have a sip of the wine. "...I didn't think that I was capable of falling for someone so fast. And then... Your reaction when you found out we were learning sign language for you... I fell even harder."

"That was what made me fall for you... No one had ever tried — so all of you trying... I knew that as long as I had you all as friends, I would be fine. But your constant signals... They gave me hope."

"Even when...?"

"We both weren't sure how we felt — this is all still new to me anyway — I don't blame you. It hurt at the time, but everything's fine now. We're together now."

"And I intend to keep it that way."

We giggled and spent the rest of the time finishing the wine — with Daniela telling me stories of her past. I settled my head on her shoulder as she started another story, pulling a smile onto my face as she continued.

"Dani!" Cassandra yelled from the door, making me lift my gaze from the book I was reading. "Mother wants us."

"New maids?!" I perked up and set my book down, swarming to the door.

"You know it."

We giggled and swarmed to mother's study, only stepping out of our swarms to hug her. Bela joined not too long after, prompting mother to inform us of when the maids would arrive — giving us and the current maids enough time to clean up. I rushed to my room once we were dismissed and cleaned up before grabbing a new dress and making my way to my connected bathroom.

Once inside, I turned on my hot water and waited for the bath to fill — adding bubbles in the process. The bath was quick — too quick for my liking, but the maids would be here soon. After I was dressed, I met up with Bela and Cassandra and waited for the head maid to bring the group of maids to us. Instead of a group of maids, she only brought two people — infuriating Cassandra.

"My ladies, I'm afraid the other maids are going to have to wait to arrive. A snowstorm hit and it's currently too dangerous for travel."

"How did they get here?" Bela scoffed, eyeing the two women who looked paler than we were. "Are they even alive?"

"We are," The one with black eyes muttered as her gaze shifted to Bela. "Where is your mother? We have things to discuss with her."

"And why should we tell you?!" Cassandra hissed before pulling out her sickle.

"Easy," The other woman giggled as she held up her hands. "We mean no harm. Forgive my little sister, she's not used to socializing with beings that aren't ghosts, ghouls, or gods."

"Wait... What?" I glanced between the two in confusion. "You two are gods?"

"Indeed. I'm Makaria," The woman with green eyes bowed her head as she spoke. "This is my sister, Melinoë. As princesses of the dead, and as the two that handle spirits, it's our job to have a discussion with your mother about some trivial matters."
