You have to admit, this was the best sleep you've ever gotten. You gripped onto something soft and felt some air tickle your face. You sighed softly as you fluttered your eyes open to be met with a sight that took your breath away.

Literally. You stopped breathing.

Lady Beneviento's veil has shifted to the left side of her face, exposing her eye, nose and mouth. You couldn't deny that she looked very beautiful, it made your heart flutter. You wondered why your lady always wears her veil then. A blush spread like wildlife on your face as you realized how close you were to your lady.

You and your lady's noses were barley touching and not to mention to grip she has on you, which YOU were laying on her. Your one leg that was swung over your lady's was also entangled with hers. You felt like you were going to explode out of heat and embarrassment.

You let out staggered breaths as thoughts on how to get out of this grasp you found yourself in. You then sifted slightly but only found yourself in a tighter grip by your lady and her eye shot open and looked directly at you.

Your lady's face then turned into confusion and it wasn't hard not to notice the cloudiness in her eye. She was still in a dream like state.

"Madre? Sei qui... Non mi hai lasciato?"

Your lady was dreaming about her mother... and she thinks you are her mother. You weren't sure how tell her you weren't her mother. So, you gently placed your hand on her cheek, rubbing it gently. Lady Beneviento sighed softly, fluttering her eye closed as she leaned into your hand.

"Ho conosciuto una ragazza, mamma.  Mi è stata regalata come domestica." Lady Beneviento mumbled.

You weren't sure why she was speaking Italian, but for some reason you found it cute. You were also kind of scared to see where she was going with this.

"Ho fatto un errore, un grosso errore. Si è fatta male a causa mia."

Your eyes widened. Lady Beneviento was highly upset about you getting hurt, you knew that. But you didn't know how deep it ran and that she was beating herself up over it.

"Ho quasi perso qualcosa di molto importante per me. Tuttavia, non so come mostrarlo senza che la mia paura si intrometta. Ho paura che se ne andrà."

You watched as a few tears slipped out of Lady Beneviento's eye and onto your hand. You assumed that she was wanting to show you affection of friendship, her face, or something else. To see her like this... was heart breaking. You lifted up your left hand and placed it on the other side of Lady Beneviento's face.

Her hand immediately went to hold yours. You felt something move underneath the side of Lady Beneviento's face that the veil was covering. You knew you shouldn't, but you wanted to know why she hides her face. You were positive that Lady Beneviento looks lovely.

You touched the veil and lifted it up slightly but not enough to see anything. You felt Lady Beneviento's hand grip yours more harsher, but she relaxed when you started to rub her cheek again.

So close. You lifted up the veil more and more.

"IT'S TIME TO GET UP!!!" Angie suddenly yelled, bursting through the door.

You and Lady Beneviento jolted with her eye being wide open. Her hand was still gripping your left while your right was still under her cheek. Once Lady Beneviento realized the position the pair of you were in and where your hands were, a dark blush spread across her face. You lips parted slightly and that's when she realized that you could see part of her face.

Lady Beneviento tore herself from you with you rolling onto your back as she slid out from underneath you.

"What was I interrupting?" Angie asked.

You sat up while Lady Beneviento was fixing her veil, very frantically. You looked around for something to write on.

"Oh, Donna! Y/n is looking for her book and the pen she got stabbed with." Angie said taking notice in your movements.

Lady Beneviento turned to you with her now fixed veil. This was now agony to you. You've never been annoyed that you couldn't talk, but now that's all shifted. You desperately wanted to speak instead of writing it down. You quickly found some blank paper a another pen and started to write away.

When you were done, you stood right in front of Lady Beneviento and held it up for her to read.

It's okay. What happened wasn't your fault and I hold nothing against you. It's very sweet of you viewing me as someone important to you. I'm flattered, honestly. I also promise that I won't leave. Regardless of what supernatural event or creatures that I see or experience.

What you wrote was true. You've felt oddly attracted to Lady Beneviento and regardless if she is a supernatural being. Because if she wanted to kill you, she would have done so already. That you were certain. You heard Lady Beneviento suck in a lot of air and go stiff.

"Do you really feel that way?"

You turned your head to Angie. She was standing on the bed looking at you intensely. You tilted your head unsure how to respond.

"Do you truly mean that you will stay even knowing that we aren't normal? Supernatural as you call it." Angie asked.

You nodded your head. You meant it whole-heartedly. You turned back to your lady and with out hesitation you hugged her. You nuzzled into her neck and tightened your hug. Yes, it did hurt because of your arm, but it was the only way you could express how you were feeling to Lady Beneviento.

You heard small sniffles from your lady and her body started to shake. However, you felt her arms wrap around you and hugged you back.

"Well, ain't this sweet!" Angie beamed.

"Donna has a hard time expressing herself. This means a lot to her."

Hearing Angie's words made you smile and sigh into Lady Beneviento's neck. It was made clear that you were willing to stay, to understand who she was.
