Chapter 8 - BAB 8 : dare

POV : *While Daniel, Bela, Cassandra, and the lady above were gathering and eating at the dining table* *I walked up the stairs and accidentally passed in front of their dining table to exit the castle*

This is the most tense as well as crazy moment that has ever happened at Dimitrescu Castle.

The atmosphere in the dining room is very formal and magnificent. The candlelight glowed on a long table full of fine dishes and deep red wines. Lady Dimitrescu sat at the end of the table gracefully, while Bela, Daniela, and Cassandra sat at the sides of the table, enjoying their meals in peace.

Then, there was the sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs.

You just show up, walking leisurely with a crowbar that may still be tucked around your waist, passing the dining table area right in front of their eyes.

The world seemed to stop spinning. The clinking sound of a silver fork touching the plate stopped instantly.

Lady Dimitrescu: (Slowly putting down her wine glass, her sharp, big eyes looking at you in extreme disbelief) "What... What the hell is this? A little mouse... walk freely in my dining room?"

Cassandra: (Immediately stands up, her hand grabbing a scythe beside her chair, her eyes shining with bloodlust) "Mom! Let me behead him right now! How dare he insult us with his presence here!"

Bela & Daniela: (Both of them sculpt. Their pale faces suddenly became even paler with fear. They looked at each other, their hearts beating fast because last night's crazy secret was in danger of being exposed).

Daniela: (Whispers very softly, almost inaudible) "Stupid... Why did he even go upstairs..."

Bela: (Trying to stay calm even though her hands are trembling under the table) "I-mom... Maybe he's just... lost?"

Lady Dimitrescu: (Standing up straight, her nearly 3-meter-tall figure shadowing the entire room, her aura so intimidating that the air felt heavy) "Lost? Bela, he didn't look lost. She looks very... confident. And the smell... Why does he smell like the two of you?"

Lady Dimitrescu begins to step closer to you, her every step making the floor of the Castle tremble. He extends his deadly claws, staring at you from a height with a look that could kill.

Lady Dimitrescu: "Tell me, little man. Before I tear your heart apart... How can you still be alive and roaming in my house?"

The situation is very critical!

You stand right in front of the angry ruler of the Castle, while Bela and Daniela can only remain silent for fear that they will be punished.

Me : I'm sorry lady, I just want to go back to the city. I'm so sorry, I went to this village lost.. I just want to go home *eyes are screaming*

The atmosphere in the magnificent dining room was suddenly silent, only the crackling sound of fire from the fireplace could be heard. Lady Dimitrescu stopped exactly a few inches in front of you. The very strong scent of rose perfume mixed with the smell of fresh blood gushed from her gigantic figure.

He lowers his head, staring into your scowling face with his piercing golden eyes, as if he is dissecting your soul in search of a lie.

Lady Dimitrescu: (Exhaling cigarette smoke from his long pipe, his voice heavy and shaking the floor) "Go home? You think Dimitrescu Castle is a roadside inn that you can go to and leave as you please?"

Cassandra: (Approaching with her scythe, laughing sarcastically) "Mom, don't listen to her! Let me rip her throat off, she must be very delicious if made Sanguis Virginis this year!"

Bela: (Suddenly stands up, her voice trembles slightly but tries to reassure) "I-Mom! Wait... If he was indeed just a lost wanderer, wouldn't it be better for us... interrogate him first? Maybe he has information about the village or Heisenberg."

Daniela: (Quickly chimes in, her face looks very anxious) "That's right, Mom! She looks very... weak. Let us take care of it below, don't pollute the floor of this beautiful dining room with its blood."

Lady Dimitrescu glanced at her two daughters with suspicious looks. She looked back at you, and then, surprisingly, she pulled your chin with her long claws—very quietly, but sharp enough to make you feel like death was imminent.

Lady Dimitrescu: "You have pitiful eyes, human. But I felt something strange... You don't tremble like other prey. Dan Bela, Daniela... Why are you so eager to protect him?"

She removed your chin, then turned her back to you while waving her long white dress.

Lady Dimitrescu: "Alright. Cassandra, keep your sickle. Bela, Daniela... Take him back downstairs. If he's really as 'useful' as you guys hint at, I'll let him live one more night. But if not..."

Lady Dimitrescu turned her head slightly towards you with a very terrible smile.

Lady Dimitrescu: "... I'll hang you in the basement myself."

Bela and Daniela immediately moved quickly. They each grab your arm and drag you back towards the basement stairs, away from the deathly gazes of Lady Dimitrescu and Cassandra who look very disappointed.

As soon as you reach a dark hallway that is safe from her mother's view, Bela immediately corners you against the wall.

Bela: (Whispers angrily but relieved) "You're crazy! What do you think of going up there?! You almost killed both of us!"

Daniela: (Kissing your cheek passionately and panickingly) "But the way you snuggled up earlier... that's great, baby. Mom almost believed you. Now that we're inside, we've got a lot to talk about before Cassandra sneaks down out of curiosity!"

POV : I slipped Dimitrescu's leg and he fell. I ran fast and laughed towards the outside of the castle*

Your reckless action really made the entire castle seem to freeze in shock. Stabbing Lady Dimitrescu—a giant woman nearly 3 meters tall that the entire village feared—was the most impossible thing that ever happened in the history of Dimitrescu Castle.

BRAAAKKK!

Lady Dimitrescu's gigantic body hit the marble floor with a loud bang. His large hat bounced, and his crystal wine glass shattered into pieces.

Lady Dimitrescu: (Her voice thundered from the floor, filled with pure wrath) "YOU... CAT MAN!! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME WITH YOUR DIRTY FEET!!"

Cassandra: (Her eyes widened, her mouth gaped) "MOM!! YOU... YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!!"

Bela & Daniela: (Both of them can only sculpt on the spot, their faces are pathetically pale. They know that if you get caught, they'll also be exhausted for "playing" with you).

You don't wait a second. You turn around and run as fast as you can towards the castle's great gate while laughing freely. The sound of your laughter echoes in the majestic alleys that are usually filled only with the sound of screams for help.

"HA-HA-HA! IN-LAWS! DRUGS MY DEARS!" you shouted as you jumped over the small table.

You make it to the front door, pull the iron lever, and lunge out into the middle of a blizzard. The cold air pierced your skin instantly, but the adrenaline made you not feel it. Behind you, you can hear the sound of the castle door slamming open and the roar of anger that can make the mountain tremble.

Cassandra and a flock of flies start coming out of the upper window, chasing you like a black storm over the night sky. Meanwhile, Bela and Daniela are forced to join the chase to avoid suspicion, even though in their hearts they may be confused between wanting to kill you or laughing at your crazy behavior.

You now run through the snowy forest towards the village. Current condition:

Lady Dimitrescu was ordering the entire Lycan army to surround the forest.

Cassandra is already flying right above you with her scythe.

Bela and Daniela try to find a position so they can "catch" you first before Cassandra finishes you off.
