You wake up, clinging to silk sheets. Your eyes flutter open and you realize that Alcina isn't there.
You pouted a bit and rolled back over. You brought the blanket to your face and breathed in. It still smelled like her. Lavender and smoke.
"Good morning, lovely" you heard a voice chuckle. You jumped and threw the blanket away from your face.
"G-good morning, my lady!" You choked out, heart beating rapidly. She let out an amused sigh. "What am I going to do with you?" She asked, jokingly.
You wanted to say something but you kept your mouth shut.
"Shall I return to my duties?" You asked her. She nodded her head. "Yes, that would be best. I'll make a list for you.
Once she was done applying her makeup, she took out a piece of paper from her drawer and began to write your tasks for today.
And to your horror, she brought the paper up to her lips and placed a kiss on the bottom corner of it. She smirked and handed it to you.
There you stood. Frozen, flabbergasted, face bright red. She cleared her throat in hopes to make you come back to earth.
You gulped. You couldn't speak. You just took the paper and began to leave. "Farwell, my mouse" she whispered. You slowly turned around to meet her eyes. She smirked and winked at you. You BOOKED it out of the room.
Your first task was to work on laundry with the other maids. You haven't met a whole lot of the other maids besides Brianna yet, so you were pretty nervous.
You opened the door to the laundry room and saw about seven maids, Brianna included, washing clothes.
Brianna smiled and waved at you, patting the ground next to her for you to sit. You waved back and went over to your friends side.
"Hey!" She greeted, scrubbing a black maid blouse in a small tub.
"Hi. So um, where do I start?" You ask. You haven't been assigned this task yet.
"Oh, yeah! Just go and grab a piece of clothing from the pile over there, grab a tub and fill it with water and soap, and get a washboard too." She explained.
You nodded and went to grab the supplies. By the time you got back, Brianna explained that she needed to go put the wet clothes to dry. Your heart dropped in your chest. You hated being surrounded by people you didn't know.
As she shut the door, you felt everyone's eyes on you. You swallowed down your anxiety and got to work. You began to scrub the white apron in your hands.
"Uhm, you're doing it wrong" you heard a voice call. You thought they were talking to someone else. You felt a harsh tap on your shoulder. "Hey! Didn't you hear me? You're doing it wrong." The voice said, more aggressively.
You slowly turned around, eyes wide. Your (e/c) eyes met harsh, icy blue eyes attached to a brown haired girl. "Oh! I-Im sorry" you apologized, changing your technique.
The girl scoffed. "Still wrong. Are you dumb?" She asked coldly. The girls behind her began to giggle.
You began to tear up. Your mom used to always find fault in you too. Making mistakes was your worst fear.
"I'm sorry." You whispered. She began to cackle at you. "You gonna cry, you little whore?" She snarled. You furrowed your brows in confusion. "Yeah thats right. I know you spent the night in the Lady's room" she announced.
You shook your head. "N-no! We just went to sleep! I was tired. It was nothing more than that!" You insisted, backing yourself against the stone wall.
"Is that so? What about you two making out down the hall?" She yelled, making the girls behind her drop their jaws in shock. Everyone bursted out in laughter, minus you.
The door opened and you saw Brianna walk in on the scene. She ran over to help you up. "Astrid! Stop." She yelled, hugging and shielding you from her.
"Oh, so you're friends with sluts now?" She cackled, the other maidens laughed a bit. Brianna scowled at her. "She hasn't done anything to you! Leave her be." Brianna half-yelled.
You pushed yourself out of Brianna's arms, standing up straight. The room went silent. "Uh, (y/n)?" Your friend asked, confused.
Something bubbled inside you. Something bad. Something angry. Something new and familiar at the same time.
You calmly walked up to Astrid. You slowly lifted your eyes up to her.
After a moment of silence, her nose was met with your fist. The maidens screamed. You pushed her down on the ground and began to relentlessly punch at her face, screaming with rage with each throw.
Astrid sobbed and choked on blood and tears. Brianna rushed over and pulled you off of her. The maidens rushed out of the room, leaving their newfound comedian on the ground.
The only sounds to escape your lips were broken sobs. Brianna hugged you. "It's okay. She deserved it" she comforted. Astrid groaned on the ground, curling into a ball and holding her face.
The door slammed open and a familiar figure bent down to get inside. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" The voice boomed.
You stepped away from Brianna and slowly looked up to see your mistress, enraged. Astrid looked up at her, crying, face covered in blood. "S-she tried t-to kill me!" The girl lied.
Alcina extended her claws and stormed towards you. You fell over and screamed in pure terror as she lifted her arm. She froze. Remorse filled her eyes as she looked at your terrified figure. You were crouched over, covering your head, and uncontrollably crying.
Brianna rushed over and held you. "STOP! Mistress, it was me who fought Astrid, not (y/n)!" She lied, tearing up. You looked up at Brianna in disbelief and shook your head. She squeezed your hand.
Alcina grimaced and retracted her claws. She was silent for a moment. "GIRLS!" She yelled out. "no.." You whispered. Brianna let go of you and stood up. The three girls entered the room. Their mother whispered an order to all of them and left. The girls surrounded Brianna and began to take her away. "NO!" You screamed, scrambling up to run after her. Daniela heard you and ran over to keep you separate from her. Daniela blocked you from the other girls.
You tried to push her away but she was too strong. "N-NO! PLEASE. DONT" You sobbed. Daniela frowned. "I'm so sorry, (y/n) she muttered.
You watched as the girls escorted Brianna through the cellar door.
