Anise,
I had to leave for a while. I'll be back soon. I'm leaving you in Castiel's care for now, but don't let him bite you while I'm gone. I didn't get that taste I asked for, so I intend to be the first and only to do so.

Sincerely, Bishop
Anise's eyes widened in shock, a sound of disbelief escaping her lips, "What?!?! Castiel!?" She'd squeaked out, covering her face with both hands. She'd sat on her bed sulking for several moments, hoping, praying, that she was just having a nightmare. She had to serve the man who threatened her sister's life? What was Bishop thin- Then it hit her. He's punishing me? He knew I'm scared of Castiel.. He's punishing me for Alice.. that has to be it. She wanted to cry, but she knew if she didn't get prepared for her day soon, one of the brothers would check in on her. She slipped out of her nightgown and put her maid outfit on, tying the corset with a bit of a struggle. She closed her eyes before looking in the mirror, brushing her hair out before putting her bonnet on. She checked herself out in the mirror one more time before sliding on her stockings and shoes hastily.
She quietly closed the door in case someone was still asleep, jumping as a clash of thunder outside took her by surprise. She placed her hands on her chest, calming her racing heart. She didn't want to proceed with a flutter. The last thing she wanted was to tempt him to take a bite and break his own rule. Without further distraction, Anise began her journey to Castiel's quarters once she'd composed herself. It feels like a journey, like I'm entering the Dragon's lair.. Every step felt like a mile as she approached, letter gripped in her hand nervously. She wished she could rip it up, escape.. but she doubted fleeing for the woods would get her very far. She wasn't Alice.. she'd get lost in no time.
A gentle hand knocked on Castiel's door, "Lord Santiago..?" She called into his room from outside formally, "Lord Bishop left late last night..I've got a letter.." Her voice was hushed as usual, but she assumed he could still hear her. They seemed to have acute senses.. Besides, if he didn't.. she could at least say she attempted to inform him. She'd just return to freelance maid duties..without getting bitten.. well until someone noticed Bishop's disappearance.. Shoot.. I'm getting scared again.. You can't do this Anise.. Though the thought of having to listen to his every whim.. and how am I supposed to stop him from biting me!? He's a vampire.. if he wanted to.. Bishop is crazy! I can't fight his brother!
