Theodore sighed tiredly as he watched Lucas who was holding a maid, drinking from her.
He glanced at the other two maids that were dead on the floor and he sighed further. It seemed like Lucas's thirst had increased again and it was getting worse.
"Do you need to keep doing this? Because at this rate, we won't have any maids at the castle again."
Lucas retracted his fangs from the maids neck and licked the drop of blood that stained his lips. He had managed to avoid drinking Lisa's blood last night but this morning, he could practically smell the blood radiating from her.
"If I take her blood, I'll crave for it more and I might lose control and hurt her." He finally replied and Theodore rolled his eyes.
"Don't you have a maid to chase? What was her name again?" Lucas acted as if he had forgotten her name and was trying to remember.
"Carmillia." Theodore reminded.
"Aaahh! Yes her, why are you not with her?."
Lucas was already fully aware of Theodore's 'attraction' with the maid, which he didn't want to participate in.
"She chased me out of her room with a comb." Theodore grimaced as he remembered when Carmillia threw a comb at him and kicked him out of her room. Literally, kicked him with her feet.
Lucas chuckled and revealed" I found out that Castiel had a child."
Theodore lifted a brow at this news" Well that's odd, what are you going to do about it?."
Lucas had many theories about himself and Lisa's origin but there was something that wasn't adding up. It felt like they were in a puzzle and a particular piece was missing and no matter how hard you try to complete it, it will never be completed until you find that missing piece.
"Absolutely nothing."
Theodore wasn't surprised by his answer, he already guessed that Lucas was going to say something like that.
"The ball of hallow is fast approaching, I don't know why but I have a bad feeling about it." Theodore informed Lucas as he sat down on a couch opposite him.
"I thought I was the only one that felt that way, and not to forget, the messenger reaper told me that death was coming from Lisa." He had tried his best to form a solution but he didn't know how Lisa was going to cause a mass murder yet.
"How will you stop the upcoming deaths?" Theodore questioned curiously.
"Let's watch and see how it plays out without me doing a single thing."
***
Lisa on a whim, decided to dress in the bathroom. She chose to go with a long black gown which had long sleeves, a bow attached to the back, beautiful white diamonds adorned on the lace and a pair of black gloves. She left her hair to fall in waves and when she was done, came out of the bathroom.
When she came out, she was surprised to see the reaper, grey and also Carmillia?. When Lucas had said he will send some friends to accompany her, this was what she least expected.
Grey who saw her, ran to her, using its head to nudge her legs a little and she bent down to scratch it's ears.
Carmillia, who was standing at the corner observed the girl and she internally shook her head. The girl was too nice for this cruel world. She wasn't even sure if the girl had ever killed someone before.
"Mr reaper?." She heard the girl speak and Carmillia turned to the reaper who had been staring at the girl for quite some time now.
Probably attached in some way to her.
"Why did you leave the other time? I-i was worried about you." It looked like the girl was a little angry at it.
"My sincere apologies Lisa, I too don't know what happened. It was like something forcefully pulled grey and I out of there."
"If that's the case then you don't need to worry, it's not your fault." Lisa smiled at it before turning to Carmillia.
"Hello." She acknowledged friendly.
Carmillia smiled akwardly and replied" Hi"
Lisa took the girl's hand happily and led her to one of the couches in the room as they sat down next to each other.
Lisa racked her brain for anything to talk about, but she really didn't know.
"So, how long have you been working in this castle?." She finally asked.
Carmillia looked at Lisa unsure of what to say. Was she meant to lie or say the truth. All her life she had no one to support her except herself, but somehow, she wanted to trust Lisa. Maybe for once, put her trust in someone else for a change.
"Can I trust you with something Lisa?."
Lisa felt opportuned that Carmillia trusted her "Of course"
"I'm not actually a maid, I was sent by someone to.." She paused and avoided Lisa's eyes before continuing.
"I was sent to kill you."
Lisa's eyes slightly widened in shock but she didn't say anything.
Was this the part where she ran away from Carmillia?.
"But you didn't." Lisa spoke and Carmillia looked at her with a confused face.
"You didn't do what was wrong, you chose to make your own choice and that's what is right. It's not who you are underneath but what you do that defines you."
It was like Lisa actually knew who Carmillia was.
"You know." Carmillia whispered to herself and Lisa smiled.
"I don't know how but I sensed you were a little bit different from others Carmillia. What makes you different also makes you special."
Carmillia waited for Lisa to scream and run because she now knew what she was. She was an undead. Not many knew of it because she had a mere fraction of her alive self than her dead self.
But Lisa did nothing of that such"Your character is truly commendable." Carmillia praised.
"Thank you." Lisa bowed her head.
Both Carmillia and Lisa spent some more time getting to know each other, laughing about silly things. Carmillia even opened up more and told her about Theodore.
"..and I had to chase him out of my room with a comb" Carmillia concluded and Lisa laughed hard. Lisa noted that Carmillia's love story was a different kind of love from hers.
"So do you like him?" Lisa questioned curiously.
"I actually don't know, he doesn't even know what I truly am, if he finds out, I'm afraid he might-" She didn't complete her sentence and stared at her hand.
Lisa took Carmillia's hands in hers lightly and said" If he truly likes you, whatever you are won't change what he feels for you."
Carmillia hugged Lisa tightly" you're a good friend."
