Chapter 7:

It turns out Gemma has been working for this household pretty much ever since she was born. She was taken in by Cheryl, one of the cleaners, who raised her up to be a cook, and now she could basically recite the recipe in her sleep on how to make Crème Brule.

"Gemma?"

"Yes?"

"What's Cameron like?"

Gemma's silent for a moment. "He's...quiet. He doesn't talk much, and we don't see him around the house much. He acts tough, but I think deep down inside, he's a big softie. I think he's waiting for a special someone to come along and unlock that other side of him." She pauses for a moment. "Have anyone in mind?" She looks straight at me, and I turn red, but thankfully, it's so dark she won't be able to see me blush.

"I'm just curious that's all."

There's another moment of silence, then the subject changes. We talk into the night until the sunrise comes up, and by then, we've pretty much got to know each other quite well, and we were able to treat each other as close friends. It's great I've found someone here who looks at the world the way I does.

***

We head down the corridor to the biggest door. All the others were heading there too. When we enter, it's a much bigger room than Gemma's. This is because it's Marie Rogers', basically, the head of the servants, the one who bosses them about. The moment I set my eyes on her, I dislike her. She has her feet up on the desk, picking away at her teeth with her pinky finger. She's a large, broad woman, wearing a maid's uniform with frilly aprons, and it doesn't fit her at all.

"So, this is the new Mrs. Taylor isn't it?" she sneers. I nod, okay, this is awkward. "I assume you think you're above us just because you're married to William Taylor. Well guess what missy; you're about as precious as us." I roll my eyes. "One day, you will be the ex Mrs. Taylor, so get used to the treatment, because I will take your place one day."

Oh, so this is what it's about. She has a crush on William. Ew... she could so have him. That's so gross, has she even seen his teeth? I muffle my giggles, and I glance over at Gemma who meets my eyes, and tries to keep her face from breaking into a smile.

Let the day start!

Okay, she has gone way too far.

Guess what she assigned me to do! She made me do the laundry, and not just clothes, it means...also undergarments. Sure, there are more than a few maids in the laundry department, but of all of them, I HAVE TO DO THE UNDERGARMENTS?! I could tell she did this just to make my life horrible because she's jealous, but come on, does she really think I WANT to marry him? Every now and then, I could see her smirking at me; basically she doesn't do anything except bark orders at people and picking at her teeth. And she wants to know why William picked me over her. Gee, what a wonder.

Well it'll take more than undergarments to ruin my life, so I carry on through the afternoon with a bright smile on my face, inwardly grimacing. I go through not-so-bad boxers, but some are seriously hideous, like... I don't even want to talk about it!

When evening comes, I'm finally free; I head back towards my room, totally exhausted, my hands red and raw from all the washing. I take a long bath with all the fancy salts I found in the toilet. Ah, this is the life.

As I get out of the bathtub, I feel faint. Maybe it's the steam, and it's overheating here. I shake my head and put on a bathrobe. Suddenly, I feel my knees buckle, the bathroom sways and turns.

Then everything goes black.
