just saw a video of māori-palestinian solidarity and honestly? i couldn’t stop myself from sobbing. it’s remarkable how colonised people all around the world can feel the pain of the palestinians and honour their life and their dead just as if they were their own.
this is why palestinian freedom means so much to so many people. it’s a cause for all humanity, not just for the palestinians.
we stand for palestinian liberation, because we stand for humanity’s liberation. we all deserve to be free.
Tumblr media
here’s the video for anyone who’s curious
Tumblr media
someone said something very beautiful about this as well
“We see Palestinians as our whānau (family). This kinship not only extends to the living, but also to the dead. In tangihanga (funerals), we say “your dead are also our dead”. We see no differentiation between our dead kin. When Māori are out there for Palestine, the pain you hear in our voices, when we march in our thousands or perform haka, that isn’t just solidarity or intergenerational colonial trauma coming into play here. We’re mourning our dead, which includes +30,000 Palestinians and rising.”
the māori are truly such beautiful people.

Unbearably Mortal (Part 2)
(Alcina Dimitrescu x gender neutral reader)
Part 1
Words: ~2.5 K
Summary: In which a lot of things happen and none of them are good.
A/N: Hey, y’all! Back at it again with another chapter! Hope you enjoy!
“Nope nope nope nope… no way in hell…” You shook your head violently, unable to process what Mary had said. “This is… this is all some sort of elaborate prank, right? You’re messing with me. Yeah.” You swallowed. Your saliva felt like acid.
Mary grimaced. “I’m sorry, but this isn’t a game. This is very much reality.”
“So… what are they then?” You began pacing the floor, anxiety clinging to the pit of your stomach. “You expect me to believe that they’re some sort of weird, blood-sucking vampires?? You must be out of your mind… they don’t exist! They can’t be real!”
Mary stood up and walked over to you, gently placing her hands on your shoulders. With her blocking your path, you were forced to stop pacing and look at her.
“Listen,” She began, eyes gleaming with fear “I have no need to lie to you. Believe whatever you want to believe, for the only thing on the line right now is your head. Jane and I risked our lives to save you. If we were caught, all of us would have died. So, are you going to freak out and get yourself killed, or are you gonna listen to me?”
You were stunned into silence. Mary was being deathly serious. You nodded shakily.
“Good.” Mary breathed a sigh of relief. “If you had a mental breakdown and they heard…” She didn’t finish her sentence. She didn’t need to either; the implication was horrifying enough as it was.
“Thank you, by the way,” you sighed, sitting back down on the bed, “you really didn’t have to save me.”
“Honestly, I’m still scared out of my mind,” she admitted breathily, “but I’m glad you’re better now.”
“Thanks.”
She hummed, then pursed her lips. Her frown deepened even more. “Well… now what do we do? The Dimitrescu family is notorious for slaughtering any trespassers they find.”
Your eyes widened and your stomach dropped. “Oh no… oh no, no, no…”
You were stuck. You were stuck in a terrifying castle with horrifying, blood-sucking monsters who would gladly turn you into a mangled corpse on their living room floor. You had no way to call for help, and your parents probably didn’t even know what was happening…
Your phone.
You patted your pockets and fished through them. Let’s see: some dirt, a crumpled flight itinerary, your house keys… aha!
“...what’s in the box?” Mary asked, “I don't think I’ve seen anything like it before.”
You blinked. Box? “Oh, this? It’s my phone.” You rotated it slowly in your fingers so she could easily see all its sides. “It’s a bit larger and blockier than your average iPhone because it’s designed to connect directly to the satellite, making it easy to call anyone from anywhere in the world. It cost me a lot of money, but since I was planning on traveling the world after I graduated, I decided it wouldn’t hurt to have it a few years early.”
Mary gave you a completely confused stare. “What’s an… iPhone? Or a sad-del-light? Did you make those up?”
You frowned, your eyebrow twitching in confusion. “Uh… no? I wouldn’t make anything like this up. You… you truly don’t know what modern technology is like?”
She shook her head. “I’ve… never been outside the village. I have no idea what the rest of the world is like.”
“And you don’t have a phone? Internet? Anything??”
“I’m afraid not,” She fidgeted with the hem of her skirt, “the Lords don’t allow anyone to leave the village or write letters to the outside world.”
A chill shot up your spine. “That’s… terrifying…”
Mary nodded, then tilted her head, thinking. She pursed her lips and motioned with her finger for you to come closer. You lean your ear to her.
“What is it?” You whisper.
“There are rumors of a girl who escaped the Lord’s wrath,” she began, “apparently, she managed to leave the village unharmed. There was an old hag who used to moan about how her daughter left her for a new life. She sounded half mad, so no one bothered listening to her.”
Your grandmother. She was talking about your grandmother.
And your mom.
This meant that… your mom knew about these crazy monsters? That she let you come here, to a place where you would most likely die? Alone??
Nothing made sense anymore.
You realized you had zoned out of Mary’s story. You shook your head, bringing your attention back to the present.
“Is that a good idea?”
“Uh, sorry, what?” You blinked. Mary was staring at you like you were an idiot. (Which you were, but that’s not the point.)
“I said,” she repeated, “you need to blend in until we can figure out how to escape.”
“That’s… that’s a pretty good idea. And wait….” you repeated her words in your mind. “We? You want to come too?”
“Goddess, it’s like you’re dense or something.” Mary muttered under her breath. “Of course I want to leave! Are you out of your mi-“
“I get it, I get it,” you huffed, interrupting her, “What do we do now?”
“Now,” she folded her arms, “we need to get you a disguise.” She walked over to a tiny dresser in the far corner and pulled out a neatly-folded maid’s uniform. “I hope you’re my size.”
————————
Turns out you weren’t Mary’s size.
You couldn’t help it; your new friend was practically a walking stick. Your shoulders were too broad, your legs too long; but with Mary’s excellent sewing skills, you were able to make it work… sort of.
“Damn, this uniform is itchy,” you complained, scratching at the neckline.
“You’ll grow used to it after a while,” Mary replied. “Now we need to get to work or-“
“We’ll be made into wine. Got it.” You straightened out your sleeves.
She nodded. “Just follow my lead.”
The two of you walked quickly and quietly out of the servant’s quarters. Your heart was racing. Every time you turned a corner, you half expected a bloodied monster to jump the both of you and tear out your arteries.
You rounded another bend and nearly walked into Mary. She had stopped suddenly and immediately fled to the side of the hallway, bowing deeply at the corridor. You quickly followed her lead.
The moment you bowed your head, a steady buzzing filled your ears.
Swarms of flies flitted through your vision as they flew down the hall, buzzing excitedly. Maliciously. You don’t know how they managed to convey such emotions, but they seemed…. off.
And then, they changed.
The insects spiraled and spun into a large, buzzing mass, sewing themselves into a completely different form; one with a deep black cloak, ghoulishly pale hands, wild blonde hair…
And blood-stained teeth.
Mary curtsied deeply and you were quick to follow suit. “Good evening, Lady Bela,” she said softly, refusing to look up, “how may we be of service?”
Bela gave a bored wave of her hand. “We’re a bit... short-staffed in the kitchens at the moment,” she drawled, “Mother doesn’t want dinner to be served a second too late. She-” Her eyes fell on you and she stopped dead in her tracks. “You smell familiar, human…” she growled.
Oh no, you were dead, you were dead, you were dead. Cold sweat fell from your neck, and your heart raced. Bela stepped closer to you, brows furrowed and hungry eyes glinting.
“They’re new, Lady Bela,” Maria said quickly.
She raised an immaculate brow. “New, you say?”
“Yes, Miss.”
“... I see.”
It was only a moment before she leaned away, but to you, it felt like hours. The Dimitrescu was a terrifyingly deadly whirlwind, one that seemed to stare directly into your soul… maybe even smell your fear. Bela’s lips twitched, giving you a glimpse of sharp fangs.
“Well then, newcomer,” she hissed, amusement dripping in her voice, “if you’re so eager to serve us, I want you to pour the wine.”
Your heart raced in panic, your hands shaking. Pouring the wine meant seeing these monsters at their most bloodthirsty. It meant you would get caught.
I won’t survive, you thought fearfully.
You quickly dropped into a clumsy curtsy before you forgot yourself. “A-as you wish, Lady Bela,” you choke out.
“Hm… we’ll see, won’t we.” She dissolved into a sea of flies and flew down the hallway and out of sight.
You breathed heavily. Your heart was still going a mile a minute. Before you could say anything, Mary grabbed your arm and tugged you along.
“Wha-“
“Shh,” she hissed. “Not yet.”
You followed her silently to the kitchen. This whole situation was too hard to process… you’d barely been in Romania for a day and you suddenly had to face the reality of your imminent death.
You felt lightheaded. Your vision swam.
“Where are you, draga mea?” A smooth, enchanting voice swirled in your mind. You felt your pulse hammering in your temples. The voice sounded so close, yet so far away. It was familiar and warm… but it was too hard to tell if it meant anything. You were too woozy, too lightheaded…
“It’s time to wake up, darling,” the voice continued dreamily, “Open your eyes for me?”
“...hey… hey!” A familiar voice hissed, “hello? Are you alright?”
Your eyes snapped open.
Mary stood in front of you, her hands on your shoulders. Once she saw you move, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Are you alright? You haven’t blinked for the past few minutes, nor have you responded to anything or anyone around you.”
“Yeah, I just…” you swallowed thickly. What was wrong with you? “... I just spaced out.” Mary frowned, giving you a suspicious glance, but didn’t push.
You were in the kitchen. Cooks and maids bustled around in an organized fashion, whispering instructions to each other while slicing, cooking, and plating bright red slabs of meat. You definitely didn’t want to know what kind the Dimitrescu’s were eating tonight.
Someone grabbed your arm and you flinched, turning around. It was one of the older cooks, a salt and pepper haired woman with soot-stained clothes and greasy calloused hands. She shoved a a bottle of wine into your hands so fast, you nearly dropped it. She glowered at you.
“As soon as the meal is served, you pop open the bottle and pour for everyone.” She hurriedly rattled off instructions. “When they finish their drink, pour them another. You do not look at them, you do not touch them or their glasses, you don’t even breathe around them. And for the love of the Goddess: Do. Not. Spill.”
You gulped and nodded. You just had to do your job, then leave. That’s all. You could do this.
Or so you told yourself.
The old woman gave you a quick look, and for a moment it seemed she gave you a twinge of a sympathetic smile. But just like that it was gone, replaced by her signature scowl.
“Alright, we go in three…” she held up three fingers covered in burn scars. One second passed. Then another.
The kitchen maids smoothly entered the dining room in one sweeping motion; a flurry of skirts and iron serving trays. You followed them close behind. The maids placed the trays in front of each Dimitrescu before fleeing to the kitchen single file.
And then it hit you.
You were the only maid who was supposed to stay throughout the entire meal.
Without you even knowing it, Bela had assigned you one of the most dangerous jobs at the castle; one where you had to stay, alone, in the same room as four hungry, bloodthirsty vampires.
You quickly began pouring the wine.
You walked around the massive mahogany table, trying your best not to spill the blood-red drink. You poured for Bela first, and you tried your absolute best not to look her in the eye. You didn’t know what you would do if you saw her grinning.
You moved on to the next Dimitrescu: a redhead with glistening fangs. As you poured, she suddenly hissed. In your surprise, you fumbled the bottle. But you didn’t spill.
The last sister (you assumed all three of them were sisters based on their similar appearances) was a brunette with mischievous eyes. You didn’t mean to look at her… you really didn’t…
Based on her low, rumbling cackle, you knew you were doomed.
The last Dimitrescu, the Lady Dimitrescu, was much different than the other three. She was incredibly tall, with a flowing white dress that fell to her ankles, a wide-brimmed hat…
And pearly-white satin gloves.
Why did that seem so familiar?
You shook your head. You had to stop thinking and just pour the wine! You only had one more glass to fill, after all.
The brunette stuck out her foot, and you went down.
You landed on top of the bottle, and it shattered under you. Glass and wine flew everywhere, piercing your clothes, slicing your skin, staining the rug…
And completely drenching the front of Lady Dimitrescu’s immaculate dress.
The air cracked with electricity. “You...” she hissed, in a stranglely familiar voice.
Before you could even beg for forgiveness, the towering terror of a woman stood from the table and grasped you by the collar before you could even blink.
She growled, breath smelling of blood. “You will pay for your insole-“ her breath hitched. Her death grip on you loosened and faded, till you dropped to the floor like a rag doll.
Fearfully, you looked up at her.
Her demeanor had completely changed. Where once stood a cold-hearted monster was a shocked, crying… woman. Tears streaked down her face, dripping from her chin as she sunk to the floor. She didn’t look like a monster, she looked… human.
The lady reached out a gloved hand, then flinched as if burned. She looked lost and confused and sad; unable to process what she was looking at… or rather, who she was looking at.
A chill ran up your spine, fearful tendrils snaking through your system as you both stared into each other’s eyes.
And then, Lady Dimitrescu uttered a single word, barely a whisper at all, and your stomach dropped. Your world spun.
“Y/N?”
You couldn’t move. Couldn’t think. Everything you had ever known was completely useless, and your life would end at any moment, you were sure. You felt like crying, you felt like throwing up.
She said your name.
Lady Dimitrescu, one of the most powerful supernatural beings in the world, who couldn’t possibly know who you were, had said your name.
It was too much. There were too many strong emotions, too many near-death experiences in one day. Your body was bloody and exhausted, your energy spent.
You collapsed on the dining room floor, and your vision faded to black.

Not sure what character so I guess one of the most popular of RWBY. Can you please do a Ruby Rose x GN Reader. Unsure if you want a scenario to go with it or not so I put this. You are one of the teams from Atlas that arrived to compete in the Vytal Festival Tournament and have gotten to get to become closer to Ruby over time. Then during the Fall of Beacon you were one of the students left behind preferring to give up your seat to someone else and find, Ruby, who you grew to love. I imagine that you would find them right at the end as she is being carried away and you follow. Then you telling how you feel as even if it may have not been the best of times you realize that time may be short, especially in the life of a Huntsmen. Preferably can you do head cannons but if not I understand. Thanks in advance.
Ruby Rose x Gender Neutral Reader
Words: ~800
Summary: In which a red-caped cutie captures your heart.
A/N: Thank you for my first ever suggestion, my friend! I personally headcanon Ruby as aro/ace, but don’t worry! I made it work for ya. :)
You’d initially met Ruby while playing online video games. Marveling at how good the other was, you soon became internet friends and messaged each other almost every day.
Over the course of a few months, you two have had many video calls. When the Vytal Festival is first announced, you’re both ecstatic. You get to meet each other in person for the first time!!
You and your team trained super hard and signed up to compete in the tournament, and you could hardly contain your excitement. When your airship landed, you found a familiar red-caped girl waiting for you.
She ran at you with her super speed and gave you a massive hug. You were so excited, you didn’t bother brushing the rose petals from your hair.
You knew that the your time together would eventually end, so you spent the majority of your visit together. Going to the bakery, playing video games, eating ramen; you and Ruby did almost everything together.
And all the while, you had to convince yourself that these weren’t dates.
You were just hanging out with your friend.
A very good friend.
With a cute smile and excited eyes that sparkled in the sun.
When she and her team fought in the tournament, your cheer was the loudest. And when you got hurt during your team’s battle, she immediately rushed over to you with her homemade “feel better” kit, which included a dozen chocolate chip cookies, her scroll with the latest fight game downloaded, and two giant boxes of multicolored bandaids. You looked like an idiot walking around covered in a red gradient of bandaids stuck randomly on your exposed skin, but you were a happy idiot.
And then there was the Fall of Beacon.
The chaos was too much. Grimm were everywhere. Everyone was running in all directions, and against your pushing and shoving, you were swept up in the crowd.
Penny…
You had to find Ruby.
You wouldn’t be able to live with yourself if she… if she…...
You went with the crowd in the hopes of finding an escape. You found none. Finally, you reached the airship docks, and were able to back into an alleyway and turn around.
You ran back towards the arena, pulling out your scroll and calling your rocket locker. It landed a few yards away from you with a crash, and hissed open. You grabbed your weapon and kept running.
A Beowulf lunges at you, but you don’t even bother to stop. You swing your weapon in an upward arc and slice the Grimm’s throat open. It crumbles to dust. You keep running.
You pick up your scroll and call Ruby, but it goes straight to voicemail. You try again to no avail. You call Ruby’s teammates, too. Nobody picks up.
And then everything turns white.
You blink your eyes as the light fades. What was that??
It came from the tower.
You ran faster than you’ve ever done in your life.
You make it to the courtyard, and find team RWBY in a horrid state. Yang’s arm is no more, only a bloody stump remains. Weiss is crying. Blake is nowhere to be found.
And Ruby is unconscious, being carried in Qrow’s arms.
You run to her, nearly dropping your weapon. Qrow gives you an odd look, but says nothing. He tells you to get Yang and carry her to the airship. You do, carefully lifting her and trying to be mindful of her arm. You follow Qrow.
The pilot offers to take you back to Atlas, but you refuse. Qrow sees your concern for his youngest niece and invites you to stay. You do.
You don’t leave Ruby’s side until she wakes up.
When she finally opened her eyes, you nearly cried with relief. She was so happy that you were okay, and you two hug for a long time.
And then you tell her about what happened; the Grimm, the weird light, Penny…
You hold each other for even longer.
Finally, you summon the courage to tell her about your feelings for her. You tell her how much she means to you, and how you don’t know where your lives will lead you, what with being huntsmen and all.
She tells you that she returns your feelings to an extent. She comes out as aro/ace to you, but also says that you mean a lot to her as well. Shyly, she asks if you will be her Queer Platonic Partner.
You happily accept.
The two of you hold each other for a very long time... at least until Tai comes in with the offer of pancakes.
Things would be hard, but looking down at the red-caped cutie you held in your arms, you knew that things would eventually be all right.

Unbearably Mortal (Part 1)
(Alcina Dimitrescu x gender neutral reader)
Summary: In which you arrive in Romania, and are not exactly given a warm welcome.
Words: ~1.5 K
A/N: Hi, y’all! This will be a multi-part series following you, the reader, through your weird and possibly scary trip to Romania. There will be plenty of fluff, a dash of angst, and some lovely miscommunication. Oh, and lots of blood. And murder. But you were already expecting that, weren’t you? :P
Cold.
Everything was cold.
This was not what you had expected when you’d gone to visit your late grandmother’s home.
None of your family members knew her really, not like she had very many to begin with anyway. And sure, she was your mother’s mother, but when your mom was eighteen, she took almost every cent she had and bought a one-way plane ticket out of her little Romanian hometown.
She hadn’t spoken to her mother since, just sending the occasional letter every few months. And while her mother responded with letters of her own, they eventually stopped coming. Your mother was busy with her life with her new family and job, so she didn’t have time to worry about exactly why she wasn’t being written back.
When you were 23, you received a phone call from your mom, telling you that your grandmother had passed suddenly in the night. You drove two hours to your parents’ house to find your mom’s face streaked with tears. In her hand was her mother’s — your grandmother’s — crumpled will.
Your grandmother had left almost everything in her possession to your mom. She had never known you or your father, and probably didn’t even know you two existed. You and your father were fine, but your mom was devastated, decades of guilt from abandoning her mother finally bubbling to the surface.
Your mom was incredibly distraught with herself. Seeing her drown in her emotions, you offered to go there to scope out the area. You were in college of course, but summer vacation was just around the corner. When the semester ended, you could travel to Romania for a few weeks, see what the house had to offer, and return home with a truckload of pictures. What your mom decided to do with the house would be completely up to her after that.
Your parents agreed, however reluctantly. They were worried about you traveling alone in such a rural area. You waved them off, telling them that your phone was connected to satellite, so no matter where you were on earth, you would be able to call for help.
You had not predicted a blizzard would freeze the components. And now you’re lost. Oh, and gravely underprepared as well.
Time stood at a standstill. The frozen landscape seemed infinite, stretching on untouched no matter which way you turned. It was almost impossible to see through the sleet and snow. Looking down, you couldn’t even see your own footprints in the snow. You shivered, pulling your threadbare jacket closer.
How long have you been outside?
You didn’t know anymore. Every step ached, every breath hurt. You glanced down at your fingers and swallowed dryly. They were blue.
You wouldn’t survive out here for much longer.
You blinked away the snowflakes that were rapidly collecting on your eyelashes. You needed shelter, and fast.
In the distance, a piercing creak of metal caught your attention. It sounded close.
You didn’t bother to think. Stumbling and slipping through the ice and snow, you made your way towards the sound. You kept going until you practically walked into something.
It was a large gate.
A large open gate.
You stumbled through, trudging up to a set of tall wooden doors.
“H-help…” you rasped, grasping the iron knocker. You winced at the metal’s unbearable temperature. It was frozen at its hinges. Weakly, you banged on the doors with your fists. “Please…” You leaned against it, sliding to the ground. Your eyes were so heavy…
The door opened and you fell backwards through the entrance. There were two young women… maids? You couldn’t tell. Your vision was too blurry to see who exactly had come to your rescue. They grabbed your arms and pulled them around their necks, carrying you further into the hallway.
“This is bad,” one whispered, “oh, this is very, very bad…”
“What do we do??” The other one hissed.
“The doors…” the first woman dropped your arm as if she’d been burned and raced to the open door, shutting it as quickly as she could. You groaned.
“Be quiet, you!” The second one snapped fearfully.
The first maid rushed back to you and pulled your lax arm over her shoulder again. “Servant’s quarters. Now.”
They carried — well, more like dragged you through the winding hallways, stopping only once to catch their breath. It was hard for you to pay attention. Your head lolled back and forth with the jostling from the maids’ rushed steps.
Everything was cold… everything hurt…
The maids placed you down on a bed and hurriedly built a fire. The warmth cut through the blistering cold, sending a chill up your spine. Your eyes fluttered closed.
And you were sent tumbling into a dream.
———————-
Visions passed your subconscious mind in a swirling blur. Snowdrifts, claws, a woman in white…
You didn’t understand the images.
Gloves hands came into view. They bent and flexed, flitting across your face like smoke. A gentle finger traced your jawline and you leaned into the touch. You looked up, trying to catch a glimpse of the person caressing you face.
You saw nothing but inky darkness.
Just as suddenly as they had appeared, the loving hands vanished.
And in its place, a grinning maw materialized, blood dripping from razor sharp canines.
You couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t move. Couldn’t do anything.
And then you were falling.
Falling….
Falling…..
————————
You awoke with a strangled gasp. You were lying on a cot in a strange and small room. Blankets covered you from head to toe, and you melted in the heat.
“Hey, you’re awake.” You turned, startled at the voice. It was a maid, clad in an outdated black and white uniform. Her auburn hair was braided neatly into a bun, with only a single wispy lock escaping, hanging by her ear. She frowned, leaning closer. “Woah, I’m here to help you. No need to panic.” She pressed the back of her hand to your forehead and sighed with relief. “Your fever finally broke, thank the Goddess.”
Goddess?
“I… thank you,” you said, your mind swirling, “but, uh, where am I? And who are you?”
“Oh! Where are my manners…” the maid shook her head. “I am Mary, one of the maids here at Castle Dimitrescu. Another maid — her name is Sarah, mind you — helped me put you here. You’re in my bed, in the servant’s quarters.”
“Oh, sorry,” you mumbled guiltily, suddenly very aware of where you were. “I didn’t realize...” You pulled back the blankets to get up, but sank back down into the material as you processed her words. “Wait… Castle??”
Mary’s eyes widened in fear. “Sh!!! Keep your voice down!” The maid’s demeanor changed on a dime as she smacked a hand over your mouth, muffling any sound you might make. Shocked and confused, you tried to mumble out your questions, but the icy glare Mary gave you quickly shut you up. Your heart raced.
What was going on??
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
The sound of heavy footfalls from the floor above echoed around the room. Your heart beat wildly in your chest.
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
Was it getting closer? You couldn’t tell. You looked at Mary for any hope of comfort and your heart fell. She looked just as scared, if not even more so than you felt.
THUMP… THUMP...
The sound of footsteps suddenly stopped. You could hear your heartbeat in your ears, it was beating so loudly. You tried not to breathe too hard, for fear that whatever was up there might hear you.
A pained scream echoed through the castle, ricocheting off the stone walls. You flinched at the sound. It sounded so agonizing… so... human.
Mary didn’t move. Her eyes were fixed on the wall behind you, seemingly trying to bore holes into the stone.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, the footsteps started again, traveling deeper into the castle. Mary didn’t remove her hand until the sound of the footfalls were long gone.
“W-What… what was that?” You whispered to her.
“I believe that was the Lady of the house.” Mary said blankly, still keeping her eyes locked on the wall.
“And… the screaming? Mary, what’s going on here?” You didn’t want to know. You didn’t want to hear what horrible things happened here. Was this an elaborate prank? A horror house??
She shook her head fearfully “I… I don’t think that’s a good idea-“
“Please, Mary,” you pleaded, “I need to know what this is. I have to.”
Mary looked at you for a moment, then took a shuddering breath. “This… is Castle Dimitrescu. The Lady, along with her three daughters, drink the blood of whomever they choose and make wine from the excess.”
Your stomach churned. That couldn’t be right… vampires didn’t exist. “Wha-“
“And,” Mary turned to look at you, locking you into her haunting gaze, “if they catch you,” she leaned closer as if to whisper a secret.
“You’re going to wish you died at the door.”
