Chapter 200: Bellanora Vampire (1150 words)
„Argh, what the hell is going on? "A young woman with straight black hair mutters while slowly blinking open her eyes.
Looking around with her dark green eyes her expression turned rather annoyed.
'The hell am I doing in this freaking back alley?' Trying to stand up she finds herself staggering from how weak she felt.
Using the brick wall behind her for support she manages to stand up before giving herself a short checkup.
'Not my clothes, not my body, hell not even my gender.' Massaging her forehead in frustration the woman tries to organize her fuzzy mind and piece together her current situation.
It took her an entire hour of silently leaning against a dark brick wall inside an alley to organize her thoughts into something that made enough sense for her to work with.
'Okay, I think I got it. Old me form another world kicked the bucket and now I am in the body of a young woman by the name of Bellanora Ellington, the rebellious daughter of Earl William Ellington and Countess Sanamari Ellington.' Reaching up with her hand Bella touches the left side of her neck and flinches from pain.
Bringing her hand back into her field of vision she disgruntledly gazes upon her blood covered fingers.
'And from the looks of it I got assaulted by a vampire.' Taking out the handkerchief that was carefully placed in her left chest pocket of her suit Bella first cleans her hands before placing it onto her wound.
'I better go home for now, there I can then try to figure out if I'm going to turn into a vampire myself or if I was just a snack for the night.' Having gained some strength in her limbs Bella marshes out of the alley way and onto the paved streets of Dellford, a decent sized city in which her family resided.
'At least I'm lucky and didn't awake in the body of some girly woman, walking around in a multilayered dress would be hell.' Bella thinks while silently appreciating the fact that she is currently wearing a dark brown coat over a black suit with white blouse and black pants and leather boots.
It took about half an hour for Bella to arrive at the gates that lead onto her family's property.
The two guards that stood on each side of the gate size her up for a moment before saluting her in greeting.
"One of you inform the staff to bring a doctor and instruct the servants to prepare a bath." Bella orders the guards in a firm voice.
Clearly seeing in how much of a bad mood the daughter of their master currently was in added with the fact that she instruction to bring a doctor, the two guards looked at each other before nodding.
"Of course, young miss, I will inform the house immediately." With that one of the guards runs in the direction of the manor not too far away.
Following in more measured steps Bella uses the time to go through her memories a bit more carefully.
'The world I'm currently in is still in its early stages and just barely taped into the more complex machineries such as clockworks but still fails with stuff like steam engines. Additionally, there are humans running around at night that drink the blood of their fellow kin, so that's also something I have to look into.' Once in front of the heavy oak door leading into the house, she was greeted by two maids.
One of them is an old lady while the other one is a young girl.
"Good evening young miss, the bath is currently being prepared and your butler went to fetch the doctor you asked for." The older woman says while giving Bella a respectful bow which the young girl mimicked.
"Good evening to you too Melena, Sylvia.' She says to the two.
"I will need your assistance to clean and dress my wound before the bath. It wouldn't be appropriate to meet the doctor like this.' With those words Bella makes her way through the reception hall while taking off her coat and handing it to one of the male servants waiting there.
"Of course, young miss." Quick to follow, the old lady, Melena, together with the young girl, Sylvia, hasten their steps to keep up with Bella.
Being the veteran maid that she was, Melena carefully cleaned the wound and dressed it while Sylvia went to prepare a new set of clothes for after the bath.
Once she finished, Melena left the bathroom with a bow, and Bella started to undress before moving over to the oversized bathtub.
On her way there she stopped and look at her own reflection in the man-sized mirror standing on the wall.
"Hmm, not a bad catch if can say so myself." She mutters while inspecting her body.
'Nice green eyes, beautiful black hair that reaches down to the middle of my back, fair face and a good figure even thought a bit on the small side when it comes to chest size.' Satisfied with her appearance Bella moves on and enters the bathtub filled with warm water and some perfumes.
The smell is a pleasant one, not too strong or overly unique, it's just enough to cover her body's natural odor.
After a few minutes of just silently resting in the tub, she starts to scrub herself to get rid of any remains form the alley way where she woke up in.
Once done she get out of the water and grabs the white towel hanging next to it and dries herself off with it.
'If I had to guess then I would say that I reincarnated and awoke my old memories in that alleyway instead of taking over a dead or almost dead body. No matter how I look at it the Bella form before the alleyway incident acted pretty much the same as I did only that she lacked the information I'm possessing now.' Lost in her thoughts Bella starts clothing herself in a white frilly blouse with lose pants underneath a dark green skirt and black shoes on her feet.
Like that she left the bathroom and makes her way into her personal quarters where Melena and Sylvia were waiting for her with a hairbrush and simple colored hair bands.
Sitting on the chair in front of a small table with a mirror Bella lets the two do their thing with her hair.
"Melena, have there been any recent news about nightly attacks in the city?" Bella asks in a thoughtful voice.
Pausing for a moment in her efforts to brush her young miss's hair, the old lady tries to recall any news of such sorts.
"No young miss, I haven't heard of anything special. The night has always been rather dangerous so I cant say for sure.
