MAIDS

chapter 1

# Edited

'Vi hurry up, we're going to be late. Heaven knows I can't stand the attitude of those people when anyone does something they don't like'
Violet's mom, Alexia (popularly called Lex) said. Violet rushed down the stairs while trying to adjust the zipper of her maid outfit; she stood in front of her mother giving her a sign that she needed help. After zipping her up, they set out to the bus station to catch a ride to The Vakian Palace.

    { The Vakian Palace (of all creatures supernatural), where they had been working as maids for the past two years following the death of James; the family's breadwinner. }

     Vi couldn't understand why they had to work in such a place filled with bloodsucking and abnormally weird beings. She always wondered what transpired between her late father and these demons making them eternal slaves. She remembered just like yesterday when the zombies came to their house following her father's death to inform them he was owing the first family and they'd be taken as slaves in other to pay the debt.

   When her mother had asked the vampire messagers (which she likes to call zombies) how much her husband was owing and an evidence to show for it, they slapped & threatened to kill her and Violet. She apologized and though she didn't offer, they drank of her blood.

       Violet never had any friend in high school, a loner but a genius too;  Valedictorian of her class. She has a fragile look to her, caramel skin with long shiny black hair soft as a newborn's,pearly white teeth and lovely dimples in a heart shaped face though she rarely smiles.She has the most wonderful stormy purple eyes almost swirling a trait gifted by her father; and an iron-clad will.
      Vi was still lost in thought when her mother tapped her informing her that they had arrived at their stop which is for the palace maids living outside the wall to alight.
