I should not be here. It’s well after curfew and I shouldn’t be wandering the halls. I could’ve said no to that maids dare, God, why did I choose dare? I could've picked truth. I should be asleep right now, not walking to a literal blood bath.
In front of the hall of ablutions, I quickly glanced around checking that I wasn’t followed. And I pulled the door open, quickly stepped inside, turned around making sure to close it quietly. I drop my forehead to the door with a thud and a sigh. I made it without getting caught, how? Who knows.
“Ahem”
I snapped around, only to find Lady Dimitrescu staring at me amused. She was just casually soaking in the tub, not at all bothered that she was nude.
“Holy…” I gaped at her before coming to my senses. “ Shit! I'm so sorry my Lady. I-I'll go, bye.” I waved at her, who knows why, I was just so flustered at being caught and seeing Alcina completely nude.
I whirled around to the door again as I twisted the knob trying to pull the door open. It wouldn't budge. I heard the Lady chuckle then splashing and footsteps behind me. Please open. I shook the doorknob trying desperately to open the door. My heartbeat was so loud in my ears that I couldn't hear Lady Dimitrescu starting to laugh.
I put my foot on the wall beside the door and I pulled with everything I had. I didn't even notice she was behind until I heard her chuckle.
“It's a push, dear, not a pull.”
She placed her hand on top of mine turned the knob and pushed opened the door.
