Resident Evil VIII: Lady Dimitrescus' new servant

Days had passed since the incident and Belas resurrection and she was still kept in Alcinas room, the maidens made sure that she had a steady supply of wine and the fire was always burning.

But Matt wanted to visit her. He had found Belas sickle in the kitchen and wanted to bring it back to her. He knocked but received no answer. Still, he opened the door.

Bela was asleep once again. The fire had started to die down a little so he picked up a log and placed it there. He heard muffling behind him and turned around. Bela had waken and and smiled happily at him.

"Manthing!" she said with excitement. At least as much as she could muster in her weak state. "You've come to visit me, how sweet."

"And I see you are doing pretty well since you are already cracking jokes." he smiles and sat down next to her on the bed. She loved to call him manthing.

"My sisters told me you shot Ethan Winters. I... I guess I pushed myself too far. I was chasing him and then I pinned him to the ground but he used his gun to shoot the window. Oh it was so cold...."

Matt reached out for her shoulder and gave her an reassuring look. "Don't worry. He can't hurt you anymore."

Bela calmed down after a minute or two and nodded. She loved this manthing. Sure, most were useless but this one was special. Especially to her mother. "I should have killed him on the spot but I love chasing people around the halls it is so much fun. Mhh... warm, right red blood. I just couldn't resist. Except with you. I can hold back because Mother told us not to touch you. But if she would allow us... well, I would gladly take a bite out of you. But I still wouldn't kill you, you are just so cute. And brave too. My sister told me what you did and how Mother chopped of his head. Oh I just miss my sickle." She pouted.

"Well... that's another reason why I came." He showed what was in the blanket. Her sickle.

Bela rejoiced even more when he came in her room. "Oh! You got it for me. Oh thank you thank you!" She hugged and kissed his cheeks. "I can't sleep without it under my pillow."

She placed it under her pillow and lay back down. She still felt weak. "Hm... You are so sweet. I bet if I would drink from your blood I would get a cavity from all that sugar." she giggled.

Matt blushed. "Wow I never knew you were so flirty."

"Daniela is usually the flirty one but that was a good pick-up line don't you think? Can I be your favorite sister? Please?" she smiled but before Matt could answer, she coughed and shivered. "Can you please cuddle with me? Mother said I need all the warmth I could get."

"Uh... of course." he nodded and cuddled with her.

Bela smiled and pressed her cheek against his muscular chest. "Mhhh so warm. Thank you, little one. You really are special. I can't wait until you are one of us, I wonder what Mother Miranda has in store for you."

"I haven't decided yet." he admitted.

Bela looked up at him. "Please don't leave us. We would miss you. And Mother really cares about you, she need you. Now more then ever."

He was confused. "What do you mean, is something wrong?"

Bela sighed. "I think she is angry. Mother Miranda failed to protect us from Ethan Winters. She needs that Baby, Rose, to bring her own daughter back from the dead or something. I think mother feels betrayed or something. She got so scared when she thought she would loose me."

"I noticed."

"She would never admit it of course. Because she is a Lady and always needs to be strong and show no emotion in public. She is always so proud and think she needs to intimidate the people around her."

Matt blinked. "Wow that... described her pretty good." Now he knew why Alcina said Bela was smart. Sure he had gotten a hunch but unlike her sisters, Bela was a quiet one.

"Yes. But when she is with us, she is such a loving mother. I love her so much, do you love her too?"

He nodded. "Of course I do. She is... just amazing." Matt was heads over heels in love with her.

"I know, right? And you may not have decided yet but I can tell you are going to say yes. You can't honestly believe that you would go back to your old and boring life. Hm. Maybe if you knew vampires, lycans and monsters didn't exist. You know what they say, ignorance is bliss. But Mother has been alone for so long, she deserves someone that makes her happy."

Matt blushed once again. "Yeah I... I don't want to leave either but all of this is way over my head."

Bela wanted to say something but she coughed, and she coughed pretty bad. "Please... more wine." she pleaded. Matt did as he asked and gave her the glass. She drank it like her life depended on it, which it probably was. "More... please more." she asked and he refilled the glass for her.

After she was done with that, he wiped the blood from her face. "There you go. We don't want your Mother to say you have no manners." he smiled.

Bela cuddled into him again. He had such a soft skin and yet strong muscles. "Say... what should I name you when you become part of the family? Father? Brother? Daddy? Bro? Papa? Papa-Bro. Daddy-Bro." she giggled.

He rolled his eyes. "Please stop." He already regretted telling her about these modern terms. And yet, he was happy to be with her, to be here. In Castle Dimitrescu.
