The Shy Maiden (Alcina Dimitrescu x Fem)

Punishment

You walked into a room with a piano in it you looked around to spot what you had to clean.

You carefully wiped down the windows with a rag.

When you were done you walked into the library you were about to clean when you saw a book that grabbed your attention.

You picked it up and skimmed through the pages.

"What are you doing." A cold voice asked.

You turned around swiftly and hid the book behind your back.

"What do you have in your hands?" The countess asked.

"N-nothing.." You stuttered.

The woman made her way towards you and then bent down and easily with one hand she grabbed your hands and pinned them above your head.

She then snatched the book out of your hands with her free one and looked into your eyes.

"I brought you here to clean. Not to read." The woman said aggressively.

"S-Sorry.." You said under your breath.

The woman let go of your hands.

"You had better not mess up again or else you will be spending a night in the dungeon. And trust me you won't like it." She said then turned and left.

You sighed and continued working soon an hour had passed and you were now cleaning the main hall.

You were wiping down a vase when suddenly Cassandra appeared out of nowhere.

She pushed you into the vase and it fell to the floor shattering in the process.

"Oops," the black-haired girl giggled.

"Shit," you said under your breath.

Cassandra just buzzed away in her swarm of bugs.

You tried to pick up all of the glass on the floor but accidentally cut yourself on a piece.

You dropped the rest of the glass that you held and grabbed your bleeding hand in pain.

You heard heavy clicks of heels coming your way then quickly stood up and turned around in panic.

The doors to the main hall opened and the countess walked through, she looked at you and then at the broken vase on the floor.

She made her way towards you quickly and grabbed your chin harshly.

"What did I say earlier!?" She asked sternly.

You didn't respond and the blood from your hand was getting everywhere.

"Did you hear me!?" The countess was angry, really angry.

"Y-you said not to mess up again.." You stuttered.

"And look what you did! You broke one of my vases! Your spending the night in the cellar" she exclaimed

The woman let go of your chin grabbed your injured hand hard and dragged you into the dungeon.

You cried and begged saying sorry multiple times but it didn't seem to do anything.

The woman threw you into a cell and cuffed your hands against the wall.

"If you keep whining I will gladly drain you for all of your blood" the countess threatened.

That shut you right up and you didn't say another word.

The countess looked at her hand and noticed that your blood was on it, she looked at the hand that had been cut.

"I will bring Daniela down to clean your Wound, I don't want to hear your screams whilst you're down here." The woman said

and with that, she left and locked the cell door.

Thirty minutes later you heard buzzing and lifted your head.

"H-hello..?" You called out quietly.

You saw the weird bugs enter your cell and form Daniela.

"I'm here to take care of your wound," the girl said.

She took a few steps toward you and you scooted back against the wall to try and get away from her.

"If you don't want your hand to end up infected I suggest you let me help you" Daniela spoke.

You stopped moving and let the girl get closer to you.

She poured some healing ointment on it then wrapped some bandages around it tightly so that blood could not escape.

"They're done, try not to make too much noise." She said

You just nodded, worry was written all over your face. After that, the girl swarmed away and left you in the cell alone.

All you could think about was how it smelt like blood and death down there.

Suddenly you heard a snarl, you tried to peer into the darkness but couldn't see anything.

Then you saw a shadow pass your cell, it looked like a zombie, and that frightened you, so you backed up into the shadows so that, the thing couldn't see you.

You watched as the monster slowly passed by you with a limp.

Soon it was gone.

You tried to sleep but you couldn't especially knowing that there were most likely monsters crawling the dungeon.

So you stayed up all night on high alert.

Soon it was day and you were tired out of your mind.

you wanted to keep awake to make sure the monsters wouldn't eat you but you couldn't and you fell asleep putting all of your guard down.
