Chapter 9: Why Can't it Just be Easy?

*Eleina’s POV*

Waking up, my body was killing me. Yeah, I am immortal, but that shit still fucking hurt like a bitch! The fall wasn’t any better either. I’m pretty sure that I broke a lot of my body when I finally hit the ground.

I sat up from my bed with a groan. Looking around, though I didn’t notice at first, Rena was in the room. I was sure that this was my room, it’s just weird that it’s all fixed now.

The door wasn’t broken, nor was the window. Either I was asleep for a decent while, or they have really good construction workers at the ready. Maybe the vampire maids did it? They could probably work fast, after all.

Rena: “How are you feeling?” She asked with a concerned tone.

Eleina: “I am just in a little bit of pain. What happened to Vina?” I ask.

Rena: “She is in the dungeon right now.” She replied.

Dungeon!? Sure, she fucked up the castle just a little bit, but this was also my fault.

Eleina: “When will she be released?” I ask with a nervous tone.

Rena: “Hm… I think a minimum of ten years would suffice.” She said with a thinking pose.

Eleina: “Ten years? Rena, she only did that because I asked her to smell my blood. This was all my fault! Please release her!” I ask with a pleading tone.

Rena: “Vina kept silent the entire time, and did not try to refute the sentence. Was that truly what happened? Sure, your blood smells amazing, but would this cause a prideful pure vampire to go on a blood lust filled hunt?” She asked.

With how she said that, I’m sure that Vina is ashamed that she would act like that. Which might be why that she didn’t bother to defend herself.

Eleina: “Rena, she was completely fine before she smelled my blood.” I say with a serious tone.

Rena: “Then let’s prove it, shall we? If you agree, we will know the truth. A ten year sentence is pretty light, considering that she laid her hands on one of my pets.” She offered.

Right… pets… Rena then ushered in a maid. She looked to be a human. Though, she was a vampire, she basically looked like a normal human woman. Just like Rena.

Rena: “Mai, sniff her blood. Get as close as possible. I will stop you if anything goes wrong, and you will not be punished.” She said with a serious tone.

Mai then walked up to me, and started to sniff my neck. Within seconds, she was licking it. You know, I hate that I am getting used to beautiful women sniffing and licking my neck…

Ah, now she is about to bite me. What fun! Rena stopped her before she could. I know that Rena is strong, or at least, I assume so, but the fact that she is ever so slightly struggling to hold back Mai, is kinda shocking…

Eventually, Rena had to hit Mai on the back of the head, and then she finally stopped. You know, since she was unconscious. As for Rena, she looked to be lost in thought.

Rena: “So… it was true. Now we know the cause of my odd actions, where I kept you with me for an entire day. If your blood had such an effect on me, it makes sense that it would affect the lower rank pure vampires to this extent.” She said with a thinking pose.

Eleina: “And that’s without you or them even getting a drop of my blood.” I say with a sigh.

Rena: “That is so. Vina will be released. But do be aware, she will be upset for a decent while. As such, you will have two maids temporarily. Just in case she can’t attend to you properly.” She said with a sigh of her own.

Eleina: “Why would she be upset? Shouldn’t she be happy that she won’t have to spend years in the dungeon?” I ask with a confused tone.

Rena: “You can consider us drinking blood, as something extremely similar to sex. What happened with Vina and now Mai, is similar to what would happen if, let’s say, a human was too entranced with their lust, and were drunk, that they tried to rape someone, without them even being aware of it.” She explained.

Eleina: “Ah… I see. Yes, that would be upsetting.” I say with a nod.

I guess that it’s similar to if you commit a heinous crime, while under the effects of alcohol. A crime is a crime, even if you weren’t fully in control of yourself.

Beings like pure vampires seem to hold themselves in high regard. To think that they would end up as a rapist, must be something truly upsetting to them.

Eleina: “How long was I out?” I ask with a curious tone.

Rena: “Only for a few hours. Which is good, considering the fall, and the piece of metal that impaled you.” She replied.

Eleina: “Normally, I would have died from that fall…” I say with a thinking pose.

Rena: “You survived, only because I made you immortal. I did not make you into a vampire, so your immortality is weaker than mine.” She explained.

Wait… so we aren’t vampires? What a scam!

Eleina: “You can’t make someone a vampire?” I question.

Rena: “I can. But that shall be for my bride. Not for my pets.” She replied.

Right, right… always forget that she doesn’t see me as a person…

Rena: “Your temporary maid, Tia, will be here with some food shortly. Once you eat, please rest for today.” She said with a warm tone while rubbing my head.

I mean, that felt nice… But I think it’s similar to how you would comfort your dog or cat that had gotten hurt. God… this entire thing is confusing. How long do I have to wait until Rena sees us as people, and not pets?

After patting my head for a while, Rena started to stare at my neck. In seconds, she was now licking my neck. Um… she isn’t going to suck my blood, right?…

Holyshit… she has been doing this for like five minutes… Look, anyone would get aroused when they had their neck seductively licked for this long…

Rena did not snap out of her trance, until a maid came into the room. I think it’s Tia? Oh, right, she didn’t actually stop yet. I lied… Looking at the maid, I shot her a helpless expression, and she actually spoke up for me.

Tia: “Mistress, Lady Eleina is uncomfortable.” She said with a serious tone.

Rena: “Hm!? Ah… sorry, Eleina. I was in an odd trance once again. I’ll make sure to get used to you, so I don’t do anything bad like last time.” She said with an embarrassed expression.

Eleina: “Please do.” I say with a sigh.

Tia then gave me the standing bed table thingy. It was once again steak… I have never met the cook, but for some “odd” reason, I feel like I want to kill her… Possibly by an overdose of steak…

Ah, right, I forgot to say how Tia looks. She has short brown hair that goes down to her chin, and brown eyes. It seems that vampires can look like damn near anyone. She was very beautiful as well. Are vampires beautiful just by default?…

Rena didn’t leave the room just yet. She walked over to a basket. She then pulled out a dress, which was the dress that I wore yesterday, and my lingerie. She put the dress back in the basket, and kept my lingerie… Why!?

Eleina: “May I ask why you have taken my worn bra and panties?” I ask with a confused tone.

Rena: “No, you cannot ask that of me.” She said with a giggle.

Eleina: “…”

Rena: “I’m joking. Do not think me a pervert. Vampires have a strong sense of smell. I am just taking an object that you have worn, so that I can get used to your scent.” She replied with a nonchalant tone.

Then she walked out of my room… I have no idea about vampires, but, is she really NOT a pervert? She is taking my lingerie so that she can sniff it every once in a while, right? Where I come from, we call people like that a pervert. Or at least, say that they have a unique fetish…

Tia: “Your eyes say that you think that she is a pervert. But vampires familiarizing themselves with their lover’s scent, is normal. Mistress doesn’t have any odd fetish. With that solved, Lady Eleina, please eat.” She said with a smile.

I am not completely convinced… Oh well. I should just eat my steak in peace. No use worrying over it. Still, I am still pretty upset that I have made absolutely no progress on any of my goals yet…
