Note: 18+ only as this story will contain high sexual contact.
All OC Characters not belonging to the REV8 game are mine personally.
I will be posting a new chapter every Friday.
I grew up surrounded by The Resident Evil Games. Learning doing research about every character, every monster. But when finally Resident Evil 8 Village came out. I fell head over heels in love with Alcina and her daughters as well as Donna and the ever charming Duke and everyone's love to hate relationship with Mother Miranda.
I wanted a different ending for Alcina and her daughters as well as Donna so I began brainstorming when I settled upon this idea. And decided to give them a happier ending.
I hope you enjoy the story I will be writing on my OC's entering the Castle of Dimitrescu and into the lives and hearts of the Dimitrescu women.
All criticism, I will happily endure.
Any ideas or inputs you want to put in, let me know of course I will give credit where credit is due.
Also FYI: As you read through you will see the POV jump from character to character so you can read the story from their POV's
I also added a favorite line from Black Butler, my of my most favorite animes as one of my OC's resembles much like Sebastian's personality
Enjoy :)
Two Mysterious new Employees take position as Lady Dimitrescu and Lady Beneviento's new Executive Butlers. Will the oldest of the Dimitrescu daughters fall for the onyx-haired maiden or keep her once cold-lifeless heart brought back to life by just a glance caged?

Her face so much like her, sculpted perfectly in her image, down to the small scar on her chin, a serene expression on her marbled features, her gaze looking down watching over the five unmarked graves just beneath her feet, arched wings surrounding her as she stood in the center of the meadow covered in white daises.
Her favorite flower.
The summer air was warm and welcoming against my skin as I stood before the marble statue in silence, hidden from human life.
My sisters made sure that their graves would go undisturbed for centuries to come.
"There isn't a day that I don't go without missing you…nothing is as bright as before…not with you gone"
I chuckled
"The last thing you would want me to do is continue to mourn you…it is not without difficulty, I read your last letter to me every night…"
I clenched my jaw tightly, feeling anger building up, looking up at the white clouds and blue skies,
"Sometimes…I grow angry with him…wondering why it was he never gave you back? Even with my pleading at his gates"
Looking back down at the statue's face, I stare at what once was, the wind blew softly leading the flowers into a graceful dance.
Sighing I closed my eyes for a moment before speaking up
"Has mother sent you to check up on me?"
Helena appeared beside the angelic statue
"We haven't seen you in weeks…mother worries especially since today marks the day of her death",
"I've made peace with it…"
"Yes, but not your guilt…you still blame yourself for the cause of her death"
"Is it not my fault? I was not there to save her…"
"You cannot predicate the actions of humans Styx…none of us knew…"
Before I could respond I felt a familiar presence, besides my sisters; only one person knew of the existence of this location.
There he stood in his usual gear, holding a bouquet of flowers as he approached, placing the flowers at the statue's feet
"Not the best of days for a reunion but it's good to see you…"
I smiled as he extended his hand, gripping it in a tight shake I embraced him.
"It has been quite a while my old friend"
"Team sends their respects...how are you holding up?"
I shook my head, pulling back with a chuckle
"Not you too"
Chris turned his chocolate brown gaze over to Helena
"Where are my manners…Chris…my sister Helena"
Chris gave her a nod of acknowledgment
"Chris Redfield"
"Ethan and Mia?"
"Safe…we're moving them to Eastern Europe…though maybe a friendly face might ease the move and the tension"
"With what they've been through, I'm not surprised"
"We have information of some suspicious activity in a village in Romania…"
I felt my hearts skip a few beats
"Clemintine…"
"The young human girl you saved?" Helena asked as I turned to her
"We've kept contact…she sent me a letter about finding a job that fit her credentials in Romania...with open opportunities of researching some rare plants that grew in the freezing cold. But all contact ceased two years after she resided there, I wanted to go and see about her whereabouts but by then we were deep into the Umbrella case and what went on with Derek Simmons" I explained
"Now's your chance to go see what happened to her and be our eyes and ears..." Chris added
"I'll join you"
"I don't need a babysitter; it is nothing I cannot handle…"
Helena grinned
"Who said anything about babysitting duty? I wish to see what keeps you coming back to this human realm"
Helena turned to Chris
"Lead the way Mr. Redfield"
"Chris is fine…let's go meet the rest of the family"
Chris turned to me with a big smile, it was rare that he smiled but when he did it was welcoming
"Team will be happy to see you again"
I grinned turning to my sister
"Ready to meet the pack?"
"After you…"
HW HEADQUARTERS
Chris parked near the other Blacked-out Toyota Hilux pickup trucks parked out in front of an old two-story stone farm house, surrounded by heavy vegetation on untraveled road. Stepping out he met up with Finn and Piers.
"Captain…"
Chris gave a nod of acknowledgement
"She up to it?" Piers asked
"Me turn down another mission with my favorite boys. Never"
All three men turned to a grinning Styx as she and Helena appeared, a huge grin spread across Finn's face as he was the first one to approach. Styx laughed as she embraced him in a tight hug, giving him a pat on the back before shuffling the beanie he always had on, pulling it off, revealing a thick head of brown hair.
"You and this beanie have a personal relationship or what?" she asked waving it around over his head for a bit before letting him make a grab for it
"It's my lucky beanie" Styx arched a thick dark brow
"Lucky? That old thing?"
"Yes Ma'am, this old thing has seen me go through some close calls back when I was in school but also reminds me of the day you saved our asses"
Helena watched as Styx's expression was filled with sincerity and love she had for the humans as she gripped Finn's shoulder giving it a friendly squeeze while he fixed his beanie on top of his head again.
"Missed you kid…I was afraid you were going bald under there" she teased causing Finn to laugh as she turned to Piers who walked over giving him a strong hand shake before pulling him into a tight hug
"Good to have you back, it's not the same without you"
"Like-wise little brother"
Styx turned toward Helena who stood as still as a statue watching the interaction with a piercing teal gaze
"Piers, Finn…my sister Helena"
"The oldest?" Finn asked,
"Unfortunately…never forgets to remind us"
Helena broke into a small smile as Finn turned to her, sticking out his hand
"Nice to meet you Ma'am Styx has told us all about you"
Helena took the young man's hand and gave it a shake followed by the other with dark blue eyes as he introduced himself as Piers
"Helena will also be joining"
"Welcome to the team"
"Come on in, we'll introduce you to the rest of the team and get started on the briefing"
Chris called over his shoulder as he headed for the double-doors.
Helena stood a moment examining the structure. With her keen eyesight she could tell the stone was from the late 1400's and well taken care of, with a spacious porch and swinging chair, a black firepit standing in the center, surrounded by four more porch chairs.
"Styx was nice enough to give us this place…home away from home, ever since we became the BSAA elite Hound Wolf squad…" Finn explained
Styx shrugged,
"Thought I'd put this place to good use" She answered as they made their way inside.
The walls like the outside were made of pure stone, on each side stood beautiful hand-crafted marbled tables, stairs led up to the second floor,
"Training room, bedrooms, and office are upstairs" Finn pointed out as they made their way down the small corridor which led into the grand living room, a huge fireplace stood in the center, with a flat screen tv over it and a set of black leather living room couch set, to the left was the grand kitchen, the island bar separating the living room and kitchen. The kitchen was designed in pure black marble, with two enormous walk-in freezer, fridge, and pantry. Turning to the right in a cozy corner was from ceiling to floor stood a bookcase that was filled with books. Which Piers went ahead and walked over, pulling a book down, the bookcase swiftly moved into the wall and off to the side, revealing an elevator in which they all stepped into, luckily it was big enough for all five as the bookcase moving back into its place.
It was a one-minute ride down as it was going down at full speed.
The doors opened as Chris turned to Helena
"Welcome to Hound Wolf Squad Headquarters"
They stood on the second floor of the underground headquarters; hallways where members entered and left and on the first floor were sections of three computer monitors per desk. Filled with people at work.
Chris stood with Helena as she watched Styx being greeted with hugs and questions by the old and new team.
"They mean a great deal to her"
Chris turned to Styx's older sister. The team teased Styx calling her Wonder Woman or Amazonian due to her height and muscle build which the men commented would make Arnold Schwarzenegger proud yet held all the feminine curves. He could see the similarities in the sisters, with angelic, androgynous features. A beauty without equal was a fair description; only difference was the color of their hair and eyes.
While Styx's hair was black, so black that it turned into hues of blue in the light and different colored eyes. One being a chocolate brown with splotches of sliver in them and her left being different shades of rose-gold and pink.
Helena on the other hand had not red hair per say but flaming, orange that reminded him of lava and breath-taking vibrant teal eyes. While she wore her hair in a half bun, Styx wore hers freely, swept back away from her face and running down her back in thick ringlets. Dreadlock rings grasped layers of thick strands.
Both sported unique tattoos, they had right arm sleeves with ancient lettering which he remembered being called Enochian after doing some research on Styx hours after meeting her. On their left arm on the other hand were some tattoos that he was familiar with which were blackout tattoos while Styx's entire left hand was completely black to the wrist, the tattoo continued up to her forearm caressing it in a branchlike design which hid underneath her shirt. Helena though had her forearm completely blacked out but as it reached the wrist it ended in a brushstroke design instead of a neat line, covering each long finger.
Chris looked back at his team
"They wouldn't be here if it weren't for Styx. She's family and we owe her everything"
Helena gave a curt nod
"It is good that she has you and the others…"
Chris nodded understanding what she meant
"Has it gotten easier for her with the years?"
Helena sighed
"It is not without difficulty…she's made peace with Viviana's death…but she still holds on to the guilt. I know she still runs that day through her head, going through every scenario possible on how to save her but in the end all it does is torture her"
"We can only hope she finds someone to help her heal through that pain and move on"
"That is what I'm hoping for"
Introductions were made and Helena met the old and new team, welcoming her before beginning the briefing of their next target.
"Helena and Styx will be our eyes and ears"
"How much do we know about this 'Miranda'?"
Styx asked sitting back in her chair
"All we know is she's not like any B.O.W we've encountered and has lasted a long, long time. We got someone on the inside. Confirms she overrules four villages led by four lords, claims herself to be a God, infecting and experimenting on villagers who worship her"
"Then we infiltrate and take the bitch down…" Keaton chimed in
Chris chuckled
"Not that easy, she's smart and elusive. I've been chasing her for years…I also have a feeling she's been working with Umbrella and another bioterrorist which she may even be responsible for bringing into existence though we are still trying to figure out who it is. We take this slow and careful."
"Has your contact seen Clementine?" Styx asked
Chris sighed shaking his head
"Negative…"
"Clementine…isn't that the girl you saved years ago?" Reid asked
Styx gave a curt nod
"Another reason why we need to take precaution…Styx lost all contact with Clementine; she may still be in the village we don't know for certain. Our source is reliable and confirms that as far as Miranda is concerned, she is not involved with Clementine's disappearance, but we can't overrule the possibility either as Miranda only shares whatever details she wishes to share with our contact"
"How are you sure we can trust this contact" Elba pitched in
"Call it gut instinct"
"And Captain's gut is never wrong" Walker said
There was mummers and grunts of agreement
"What's the price?" Emily added
"Miranda's head on a platter"
That got a good chuckle out of the team
"Don't start the fireworks without us" Marco grinned turning to the sisters
"Wouldn't dare"
"Everyone has their assignments"
Chris said dismissing the team.
"Styx…before you go, you want to have dinner?"
Ben asked turning to her, Helena almost lost control, at the look he was giving Styx. His big light blue eyes were pleading reminding her of their younger sister Zozo when she wants something. Styx sighed, shaking her head
"What are you guys looking to eat tonight?"
That got a cheer and choir of 'yeses' going around the room
"Anything that comes to mind" Dion said
Luckily there was a kitchen underground that way everyone had a chance to eat together. It was state of the art kitchen and every chef's dream. The kitchen was beautifully designed stainless steel and enough room to feed an army.
The team got back to work with an extra jump in their steps knowing that they were getting a good home cooking.
Leaving the team happy with bellies full, Piers handed Styx a yellow folder with red letters that were stamped on the front as classified as they walked them to the door
"Stay safe"
"Always"
"Ethan and Mia will be happy to see some friendly faces…hasn't been easy being under witness protection, our contact will meet you after a month of your arrival at set location, all you need to know is in that folder Piers handed you. For now, settle down, set up camp, stay low, no attracting attention, especially Miranda" Chris informed
Styx gave a nod, turning in union they headed out into the open night. Their tall bodies suddenly becoming nothing but shadow and smoke in their place; a gathering of crows burst, flying into the night air.
"Years later…can never get used to seeing that" Chris mumbled as Piers chuckled while Finn stared in awe and fascination which it seemed to never get old for him as Piers rolled his eyes and smacked his shoulder
"Better close your mouth before a bird nests in"
"Let's get to work"
