Love And Hatred (GXG)

Seven

Lilith had praised me for cleaning the rooms so well, it made me glad that she appreciated my efforts, I wasn't even getting paid! Dione was still visibly mad at me, I did attempt to talk with her, maybe get things right, but she was not interested in what I had to tell her.

One day when I met Dione in the hallway after finishing a room I took a hold of her arm. "I apologize for my actions and whatever punishment you received because of me," I said.

"It took you over a week to be able to apologize to me, I accept your apology, but I am greatly disappointed." She left before I could speak another word. 

In the lounge after dinner I found the other maids. I had wondered where they had gone off to when I was all alone after dinner. "Are you allowed to be on your own?" One asked. I nodded and sat down with the others. I listened to their conversation, and a lot of it was gossip, but some of them also had some interesting stories to tell. They served me tea which was pretty good, I had put in a couple of teaspoons of honey to make it sweeter, the way I liked it. I had drank more tea at the manor than I had ever done in the life I had with my pack, I was starting to enjoy it. 

Strangely enough after 10 minutes or so I felt out of place, I could barely stand up and when I did it felt as if the room was tipping sideways. I heard laughter every time I struggled to make my way back to the room. I felt so sick, it reminded me of the time Lilith had drugged me, but this time I was fully awake. Dione caught me in the hallway when I was close to falling. "Dear God, what has happened to you?" She asked.

My words didn't form the way I wanted, they turned into mumbles that she of course could not understand. She sat me down against the wall and rushed out of the hallway I was utterly confused until I noticed Lilith's scent getting closer to me with Dione. "You found her this way?" She asked.

I felt my entire body being lifted up. I was dizzy, but could still recognize the raven-haired woman anywhere. Her features were like anything I'd ever seen, truly captivating. She told Dione something I didn't understand.

She walked with me in her arms all the way to a bed that I assumed was hers, everything was blurred and I could hardly recognize where I was anymore. "Who did this to you?" She asked, but when I tried to answer nothing that came out of my mouth made sense. I heard someone enter the room, a very cold cloth was put over my forehead and they tried to force water into my mouth, but I would just spit it out again.

After a while I believe I had fallen asleep, and when I woke up I felt a presence beside me. My heart started to beat quickly when I saw her. She was asleep and her arm draped around my torso. She was in sleepwear, a silky robe to be exact. I still felt...odd after whatever had happened to me.

I had no memory of what had transpired, so I assumed Lilith had drugged me again, but for what reason was unknown. I was still in my uniform meaning I had not been undressed that night, I was relieved. Lilith stirred awake shortly after. Her eyes found mine, she sat up. "Why did you drug me again?" I asked. It was not because of a new collar I felt that it was the same leather one.

"Why do you think I drugged you?" She asked.

"Because I feel the same as I did when you first did it, I cannot remember a single thing and I am in your bed again."

"Well, I suppose you will be pleasantly surprised when I say it was not me who drugged you, in fact, we do not know who did." I arched my brow.

"What?" I asked.

"Dione found you stumbling down the halls, she called for me and told me she found you in that state. Someone drugged you last night. We do not know why they did that or who. You do not recall anything?" I shook my head. Whoa, I had been drugged by someone? What would have happened if I didn't walk away from whoever drugged me?
