Post #2463368 in Castillo de la Muerte, a roleplay on RPG

Alice could only muster a half smile at her approaching twin, the concern and relief plastered onto the younger’s features bringing about a certain bliss to the eldest. ”Woods?” floated out Anise’s tone, a hushed, knowing quality to it. As a response to prove her sister’s accusation to hold truth, Alice skittered her slate-gray orbs around the drawing room, tapered fingers absentmindedly assisting with her other half’s grooming. Hm…….as I thought, they are all in their uniforms. Way to go, Alice..way to go chided her inner voice, the tone akin to a lighthearted scolding one would receive from a parent. Exhaling a soft sigh, the twin finally returned her focus back to Anise and the question directed at her in a rather secretive manner. "You forgot the meeting entirely, didn't you?” Drawing that sheepish grin into a smirk, the military-oriented maid raised her shoulders before returning them to their natural position, an air of blatant disregard evident from her disinterested tone. ”Yeah… I guess so.. time just..kinda..slipped away from me.” Roughly shoving her delicately crafted hands into the cavernous pocket of the jacket, that smirk diminished slightly in an attempt to look solemn, her sister’s hasty explanation directing attention back to the youngest. , "M-my apologies.,.."It's.. uhm..Part of Alice's process." fumbled Anise’s carefully chosen words, that telltale sign of thought via the biting of her lower lip indicating her nervousness. I have a process now..?

The deep resonating voice of the eldest jerked Alice's wandering attention from the occupants to Castiel, the conductor of this particular gathering. Heaving yet another sigh, this time of bored origin, Alice casted another glance over at Anise, the twin who was standing at attention as if her life depended on it. I wonder how long this will take..? pondered the maid’s inner voice, gaze still focused on her sister’s profile. ”....for we are of the vampire origin.” jerked the disinterested girl’s attention back to reality, breath hitching at the word “vampire”. W…..w..what…?! Is he s-serious…?! A j-joke..this has to be a joke…! mulled her conscious, panic initiating a frozen sense throughout her body. Eyes, now wide with horror, meticulously surveyed the other maids for their reaction before shifting to the apparently-vampiric gentlemen, heart nearly stopping. Ever since a child, despite her love for the supernatural, the eldest twin possessed a fear of vampires...their very mention enough to make her go into shock. It wasn’t until Castiel flashed his fangs that reality sunk in, heart slowing even further. Instinctively, the maid drew her attention downwards, typically relaxed posture now rigid, eyes unblinking, mouth slightly agape. V….v..vampires...they are..v..amp….ires.. trailed off her thought, the idea of a coherent sentence vanishing. It wasn’t until the speaker took pause in front of the shocked girl that she found her fire once more, that the shock was, temporarily, overpowered with protesting fury.

“Though I hold no qualms towards your finding solace in the outdoors, I will personally make it my business if this particular rule is broken. Also, you’re expected to remain in uniform when in the presence of the vampires, unless your master says otherwise. Do you understand, dear Alice?” rang out his falsely pleasant voice, a clash of power evident. Raising her gaze to meet his own, both challenging another and equally as icy, Alice began to debate on which response would cause the least amount of trouble, before sending him a frigid nod, eyes telling a different story. Me? Not going into the woods…!? We’ll see about that….as far as I’m concerned, your rules and uniforms can go to hell..! seethed her conscious, venomous glare trailing him to her sister. Instinctively, those tapered fingers curled themselves into a tight fist, knuckles turning white from the tension, as the vampire reached out to lightly toy with a lock of Anise’s hair. Get your hands off her..! hissed her conscious once more, the intensity of such thoughts almost trying to reach him.

The second Castiel moved away was the second Alice turned to Anise, a mixture of terror and fury burning within her stormy gaze. ”Are you alright? mused out her hushed whisper, concern almost tangible. It was then that such concern was broken by a single word, a word spoken in the voice that Alice had learned to mildly detest over the course of a single week. ”Mine.”

Eye now slightly enlarged with surprise, Alice flickered her gaze over to the red-haired vampire, disbelief almost as clear as it was when they had announced their vampiric blood, before refocusing onto her scared sister. The look on her face only meant a single thing: ignore him. However, Demetri, apparently, didn’t receive such a message as he shifted from his twin’s side to pause at Alice. Bending a knee, his own hands gently encasing her own, the noble chimed out in his infuriatingly happy tone. "I'll make you a deal deary~ Humor me once in a while with nourishment and company, I won't ask anything else of you.. Do this, and in return..I won't let anyone, or anything hurt you as long as I remain on this earth. Including myself. I promise on my immortal life." Closing his speech, Demetri tenderly pressed his lips to her skin.

The first reaction was a blush. The second? A rather quick, forceful slap to his cheek before rapidly drawing her hand back to her side, voice just slightly quivering with a mixture between anger, disgust and embarrassment. ”Y-You idiot..! Like hell I would- I mean...this is absolutely ridiculous!”
