A Haunting Love | Daniela Dimitrescu x Male Reader

Chapter 9: A Promise and a New Beginning

Waking Up in Castle Dimitrescu

I woke up the next morning, still in Daniela's room in Castle Dimitrescu. It took a moment for the memories of the previous night to come rushing back, and I couldn't help but smile. Daniela was nowhere to be seen, so I got up and decided to explore the castle on my own.

The Castle's Beauty

As I wandered through the grand halls of the castle, I couldn't help but be awed by its beauty. The architecture, the artwork, and the sheer grandeur of it all left me in awe. It was like a dream come true to be in such a place.

A Surprise Breakfast

I eventually found my way to the castle's dining room, where a sumptuous breakfast had been laid out. To my surprise, Daniela was there, dressed in a stunning gown. She greeted me with a warm smile and gestured for me to join her at the table. We enjoyed a delightful breakfast together, and I couldn't help but marvel at the contrast between the terrifying asylum from the previous night and the luxury of Castle Dimitrescu.

Exploring the Castle Together

After breakfast, Daniela took me on a guided tour of the castle. We explored the various rooms, including the library, and even the eerie rooftop garden. She shared stories about the castle's history and some of the curious events that had taken place there over the centuries.

Daniela's Loneliness

During our exploration, Daniela opened up about her loneliness. She explained that being a supernatural being had isolated her from the world, and she rarely had visitors. I couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards her. Despite her playful and mischievous nature, there was a deep sense of sadness within her.

A Request for Company

Daniela confessed that she had enjoyed my company and asked if I would consider visiting her more often. She didn't want to be alone anymore and had grown attached to our friendship. I agreed wholeheartedly, happy that I could bring some joy into her life.

A Promise to Return

As the day drew to a close, I knew it was time to leave Castle Dimitrescu and return to the real world. Daniela assured me that she would be there whenever I wanted to visit again and promised to bring me safely back. Before I could go, Daniela handed me her Necklace. She said, "Take this with you. It'll help us stay connected." It had a green crystal, and she explained, "Hold it and think of the castle when you want to reach me." I thanked her and, with the Necklace in hand, concentrated on returning to the real world. Moments later, I stood outside the castle gates, the Necklace a symbol of our extraordinary friendship.
