Chapter 12

                                    

                                          
You took a deep breath and closed your eyes. You wanted to take your clothes off as your Countess stopped you,
                          
"Wait my dear, let me help you. Just don't move a muscle" she said and held you with one hand. You kept your eyes closed and didn't  move like she said.
                          
'What is she doing...?' trying to figure out what your Countess wanted to do, you felt a chill breeze around your body. You only felt your undergarment still attached to your body.
                          
'Did she use her claws to undress me?' 
                          
"Don't worry about your clothes my dear. I'll get you new ones later~" she said.
                          
"Thanks..." you thought of getting off your undergarment too, but  hesitated.
                          
"You can leave your undergarment on, if that makes you more comfortable~" she said, as if she read your mind. She then took your hand and lead you into the tub. You heard her get in first, still holding her hand.
                          
"You can open your eyes my dear, we're in the tub anyways~" Lady Dimitrescu reassured you, so you slowly opened your eyes and got into the tub sitting infront of her. The blood was disgustingly warm and a bit sticky, but you got used to it real fast. Your Countess smiled at you and caressed your cheek, of course your cheek was now bloody, so much for taking a bath. 
                          
She then took you by surprise and turned you around and laid you on her chest. 
                          
"There is no need to be so far away from me, is there now?" she cooed, stroking your hair. You felt her arms wrap around you, bringing you closer to her chest. You felt your heart race again, race against your feelings. You also started to feel a bit hot, the warm blood in the tub together with yours wasn't a really good combination.
                          
'How long are we going to stay like this now...' you asked yourself, trying to not make this any more awkward you tried starting a conversation.
                          
"...do you always get into blood baths?" you asked her. You heard her chuckling softly.
                          
"Only once a month. We need to use the rest of the blood for our wine production. Why do you ask, do you want to take more baths with me~" she answered you.
                          
"N-No, well...maybe...I was just curious" you answered. "How do you get the blood out of...the bodies so well?" you continued to ask.
                          
"You seem really curious hm?" 
                          
"I mean...we could get to know eachother better through a small conversation..." you said. Your Countess took your head to face hers,
                          
"Do you even know anything about your past?" she then asked you. You don't know why, but her asking that kind of stinged, in your heart. Not knowing who you really are and where you came from. You turned away from her taking a deep breath,
                          
"May I leave the tub for now?" you asked. She tilted her head and was confused,
                          
"Is something the matter? Did I do something that made you uncomfortable?" she asked. You just shook your head and awaited her answer. You heard her sigh, "Of course, I won't stop you from leaving the tub" 
                          
You went out and picked up your ripped clothes up from the ground.
                          
"You can grab my towel that you brought me, just don't forget to bring me a new one" your Countess said to you before you left her bathroom.
                          
You wrapped yourself up in the big towel of your Countess as you walked down the hall back to her room, on your way, you notice a swarm of flies approaching you.
                          
"You smell even more delicious then before~" Bela said, coming out of the swarm. She stopped you and saw the blood stain on your cheek, which your Countess carassed. 
                          
"How was the bath?" she asked with a more serious tone. You realised that she saw the blood stain on your cheek and wiped it a bit away.
                          
"It...was something..." you answered her, she looked at you up and down.
"Mother always takes her time in the bath, so I'll bring you new clothes. Wait in her room" Bela said and left with her swarm.
                          
"That's..surprisingly nice" you said to yourself, walking back to the room of your Countess.
As you waited, you got a new towel ready to bring it to your Countess. 
                          
It also didn't take Bela that long to arrive with your new set of clothes. She appeared at the front door and handed it over to you. 
                          
"It's a shame we never got to taste your blood..." she sighed, not actually wanting to say it out loud. You were slowly starting to get annoyed by all of them wanting your blood, so without thinking, like always, you said,
"Do you want to drink a bit?"
Her eyes opened wide sparkling with joy.
                          
"Can I??" she asked to make sure she heard you right. You nodded and just held out your arm. Bela pulled out a sickle and sligthly sliced up a bit of your arm, enough for it to let it drip some blood. She smelled it and couldn't help herself anymore. She dug in and enjoyed every drop of your blood.
                          
You were kinda used to this now so it didn't hurt you that much anymore. You heard the door open and looked up, just to see your Countess stand there, looking down at you and Bela.

                          
"M-Mother! I...I can explain-" Bela started.
"Quiet! I expected better manners from my eldest daughter, but this right here is dissapointing-" you cut off your Countess, 
"My- uh...I gave her my consent. It's not her fault" you explained to her, looking your Countess dead in the eyes. She didn't answer and just gave a hand wave to Bela, which probably meant for her to leave.
                          
"Yes Mother..." she said and left in a hurry. Your Countess entered her room and cleaned her body with a towel.
"Where..did you get that towel from?" you asked her, since there were no in her bathroom.
"I asked Cassandra to bring me one, I didn't want to give you any more work to do" she answered not looking up to you.
                          
'She isn't gonna be jealous of her own daughter now...is she?' you thought.
                          
"Y/N" she started and looked at you, wrapping herself back in the towel.
"Yes...?"
She came closer to you and kneeled down to your height to look at you,
                          
"What I said, was wrong of me, let me apologise" 
                          
"It's alright! Really, I was just a bit bummed...but it's-" she cut you off, giving you a kiss on the cheek which she carassed before in the tub.
                          
She then wiped the blood stain clean and walked to her bed, sitting down.
"Come and sit with me, my dear~" she said.
                          
You did as she said and walked towards the bed, sitting opposite of  her. You felt as if something bad might come over you and tried to shake it off, but suddenly, the bad did come over you, literally.
                          
Lady Dimitrescu pinned you down to the bed and looked at you, hungry.
                          
'Holy shit she's heavy-' 
                          
Is all your tiny brain could think of.
