My Maid

Chapter 3

Chapter 3
Emma woke up the next day, with her stomach rumbling. Makes sense since the only thing she ate yesterday was a slice of bread and a glass of water. Emma got up, dressed and left her room. There has to be food somewhere. The queen doesn't want us the starve, right? Emma thought to herself. In front of Emma where two girls. A blond one and a brunet. The have to know where to get food. Emma walked up to the two girls and said." Excuse me," the girls stopped walking and turned around." I was wondering if you know where I could get something to eat?" Emma asked in hopes they do." You must be new here." The blond girl said. She was around Emma's age, maybe a year or two younger. Her hair was a darker shade of blond, she had blue eyes and she was probably 3 inches taller the Emma." Yes, I am." Emma chuckled a bit." Just follow us we were just about to go get some food." The brunet girl said with a smile. She was definitely in her teen years. 17, 18 tops. Her hair was in a bun and her eyes, brown. Emma nodded and followed them." So, how did you end up here." The blond girl asked." Oh, I tried to steal some jewels from the queen." Emma told." You are lucky you are not dead." The younger one said. Emma nodded." I know." " What about you guys? How did you get here?" Emma asked not wanting to be the only one to talk." I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time." The blond one said. Emma nodded understanding. She turned towards the brunet girl waiting." The queen wanted something from my father, he didn't have it so she wanted to kill him. I told her that she should take me instead his life." She explained frowning a bit." Wow, that's really brave and selfless of you." Emma said shocked." I guess." She shrugged. Emma got the hint and didn't ride around the topic any longer . Emma just followed the girls so she could get something to eat. The girls came to a stop in front of a wooden door. Behind the door you could hear chit chat and laughter. Emma furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. The place has been dull ever since she came here, it just seems weird for her to hear real laughter again. The blond woman knocked on the door, and the other side went silent the second it happened. The door swung open revealing a older woman behind it." Oh, Vivian, Maria, you gave me a shock." The older lady laughed out." Come in." She said and both of them went into the kitchen. Emma just stared at the older woman for a while. She was properly in her late 40 was chubby and had her brown hair in a tight bun on her head." Sweetheart?" Emma heard someone call she got out of her thoughts and was still facing the older lady." Come in." She repeated smiling. Emma smiled back and walked in. The room was pretty much full with maids talking and laughing together, with Emma still found odd." So, how did you come here?" The older woman asked. Is it that obvious that I'm new? Emma asked herself." Ah, I got caught stealing from the queen." Emma replied like it's no big deal." And you are still alive?" Someone asked shocked, cooking something in a pot. Emma nodded chuckling." So what would you like to eat?" The older woman asked." Anything." Emma said sounding a little desperate. The older woman smiled. She walked towards the heater, opened a pot and dumped a large amount of oat meal in a bowl. The lady came back with and gave Emma the bowl." Here you go, cheekbones." The older woman said. Did she really just called me cheekbones? Emma thought stunned. She brushed it off and started eating her breakfast. Emma chatted with some girls and woman enjoining herself a lot. Minutes went by and one by one everyone left the kitchen to do there job. Emma left when she realized that she was late on her first room. So Emma got the supplies she needed and made her way to the ball room from yesterday. It took Emma 3 hours to clean one room. It was 09:55am she still had a lot to do. Why is this castle so huge? Emma thought annoyed. She got all her stuff got new water and made her way to the dining room. Emma opened the door from the dining room not expecting someone inside. The queen and an older man were siting opposite from each other chatting, until the queen looked up and meet Emma's eyes. The queens softened face turned angry and she shot up." What are you doing her?!" The queen asked with anger. The older man turned around in his seat the see how regina was talking to." Um...I was gone clean the room." Emma answered simple." Shouldn't you be here at 10 o'clock!" Emma looked at the clock on the wall." It is 10, your majesty." Emma replied confused about the queens anger." Are you saying I'm wrong?!" Regina voice dropped dangerously low and she started walking towards Emma." Of course not, your majesty." Emma said looking at the floor." Look at me when I'm speaking to you." The queen whispered. Emma did as told and green eyes collided with beautiful brown ones." Regina honey, she was just about to do her job nothing to get work up about." Someone in front of Emma said calmly. She let her eyes wander to the old man how gave her a warm smile." Daddy, don't." Regina hissed still looking at Emma." We were done anyways we can talk somewhere else." Regina's dad said soft. How are they related? Emma asked herself." You are lucky." Regina said and walked out of the room. The man got up and walked past Emma giving her a warm smile, which she returned.
