9. Trouble
Now Lily had to clean the floor and prepare a new bottle with blood. It smelled disgusting. She rose from the ground she knelt on and looked down at herself. Her eyes widened in shock. She had only this dress and it was covered with blood everywhere.
And the worst thing was that she had to ask Dracula for a new dress. She stormed in the bathroom and tried to get the blood out of the fabric. It was impossible.
"Any problems? You´re late. I need my blood now", Dracula said behind her. Lily was that nervous that she only heared the word: blood. Slowly she turned around to face him.
He looked at the mess on her dress and got angry. "What are you thinking? Do you expect from me that you can get everything you want? Do you really believe that you can destroy what´s not yours? I don´t think that you can pay that dress!", he shouted at her.
Lily looked at the ground. She knew exactly that one more mistake would mean... she couldn´t imagine such things.
"Come with me!", he commanded and stormed out of the room. Silently she followed him. In her head everything was spinning. Only the thought of being raped made her sick.
Finally they arrived in front of a bride´s chamber. "What... are we doing here?", she asked quitly.
Dracula spat back: "Getting a new dress for you, what else?" He opened the door and pushed her inside. "Get dressed! But don´t think that you´ll get another one if you ruin this! I´ll wait for you!"
Lily looked back at the door wich he threw nearly out of the angles by closing it. On the bed lay three dresses. Each of them would reveal much skin. She shook her head. She couldn´t wear one of those dresses. She didn´t want to be desired by Dracula!
One of the dresses was black and the fabric of the skirt was short at the front. No. The next one was red and would show her shoulders and arms. No. And the third one was dark blue. It had a silver corset and a low-cut. Better.
She picked this dress and stripped off her dirty clothes. Then she got dressed quickly but there was still a problem: the corset. She grabbed behind her back and pulled at the strings of the corset helplessly.
"Do you need some help?", he asked seductively and opened the door. A triumphiant smile was on his lips. "You look much better now", said Dracula and walked behind her.
He grabbed the stings and pulled hardly at them. A moan of pain escaped her mouth. But he just kept pulling until he was finished and the corset fit perfectly.
Lily tried to breathe what was hard. "It´s too tight!", she whispered, her voice nearly fading. "No. It looks gorgeous on you. Maybe you´ve never worn a corset exactly. See?"
Dracula laid his hands on her shoulders and turned her towards a mirror. She noticed that he had no reflection. And she nearly didn´t recognize herself.
"It looks not bad but it hurts. I can´t breathe", Lily said and turned her head back to him. "See it as a kind of punishment. You´ll wear that until I say that it´s enough. And I hope that you´ll bring me my blood now!" And then he disappeared.
Lily looked back at the mirror. He was right. It was the first time she felt beautiful. Maybe it wasn´t that bad. But she still had to do something with her hair. She looked around to find something that would fix her hair. Finally she found a small light blue comb. So she combed her hair until it felt like silk.
She wanted to show Simone. Lily ran through the castle and back into Simone´s room.
"Why are you dressed like one of his brides?"
"Because he wanted me to."
"Of course. I can understand you!", Simone said sarcastically. "But I must confess that it looks good." Lily blushed. Now she noticed that she shouldn´t have run. Her chest was rising and falling quickly.
"How do you feel?" - "It´s better when you don´t ask." On hearing this she put her hand on Simone´s forehead. The fever had climbed.
To change the topic Lily asked a question she had in her mind for a long time: "Where are the other women who work for Dracula?"
"They work on the third floor and usually don´t come downstairs. But a few minutes ago I heared footsteps from the outside of my room. I don´t know to whom they belonged."
Lily thought about it for a while until she realized that she still had to bring Dracula the blood. "I´m sorry. But I have to go now. I´ll be back soon!", she said and stormed out. In the kitchen waited the blood...
