Chapter I
It was the eighth night in a row Fiona stood at the window, staring through the glass as the white German Shepherd sat obediently at her side. It was the eighth night in a row Fiona found herself growing more accustomed to being trapped in this maze of a castle. It was the eighth night in a row Fiona found herself waiting for that perfect maid to pass through the threshold of her room. It was the eighth night in a row Fiona tried to conjure up a perfect plan.
Every night Daniella came and stood, muttering words in her luscious monotone voice about her incomplete being while the blond could only listen sadly. Each night, Fiona found herself becoming more attached to Daniella's presence. A few nights ago, Fiona found her hand holding onto the maid's, suddenly fussing over the blood on her fingertips, wanting to remove those bloody stains that were marring Daniella's perfection.
Each night brought a growing attraction for Fiona, it seemed. Earlier that morning, Fiona had woken up, clinging to the maid, both of them lying in her bed. She nearly laughed to herself, considering Daniella was trying to kill her only a week ago as she cuddled with the emotionless being next to her. The maid only lied there, completely unmoving, as Fiona hung onto her like a stuffed animal she would sleep with every night.
Being able to touch Daniella gave Fiona a sense of calmness. She strangely felt safe with Daniella and oddly enough, happy. Oh, how she wanted the maid to be able to feel the same way. This maid was suddenly a friend to her... More than that in the midst of this crisis. She had turned one enemy into an ally and if Fiona couldn't escape the castle, she knew at least that she would be trapped with the one person she wanted to be with most. Daniella was Fiona's comfort now.
Fiona knew now she couldn't leave, not without bringing this gorgeous Homunculus with her. She wanted to save her. Fiona wanted the pretty maid to feel what real humans felt. It was suddenly her strongest desire, overpowering even her will to leave this wretched castle. Fiona wanted to give Daniella the ability to feel the pleasure and pain of normal human beings and Fiona wanted to be the reason for that pleasure and never the cause of that pain.
Sparkling crystal blue eyes turned their direction towards the doorway as the long-awaited footsteps of Daniella's black shoes entered the room. In an instant, it seemed, Fiona was at Daniella's side, her arms wrapped around the maid's neck as the Homunculus just stood there solemnly. Hewie barked once, still not quite used to seeing Daniella and Fiona like this, until Fiona hushed him and he backed away, taking a seat next to the bed.
Fiona's lips part to whimper out one single request: "S-say my name."
"Miss Fiona," The maid mutters without hesitation, her eyes staring blankly at the wall behind the scared teen clinging to her so desperately...
The feeling of loneliness in Fiona's stomach quickly dissipated as she guided the maid over to the bed, preparing for sleep.
