A confused life of a maid

It was cold and dark, I look up through the bars of my prison cell. the sunlight shone warmly on my face. suddenly the heavy wooden doors to my cell swing open. "it's selling day." the tall man said before he dragged me out. they washed my body and slipped on a white gown. my red hair was brushed and braided. as I walked up to my cage. I could hear the crys of women and children around me and the chattering from my chains. I slowly step in the metal bar cage and sat down. many rich and powerful people were there to buy us. as I sat down and looked down in sorrow, people surrounded me. "get up!" the men shouted before he cracked a small whip at me. I jumped and slowly got up, shaking. "im offering this twenty two year old girl for twenty dollars, do I hear twenty dollars."

"twenty dollars?" I thought to myself as people raised their hands. "two hundred!"

"four hundred!"

" five hundred and fifty dollars!" I heard a man shout. "five hundred and fifty going once... going twice.." no one raised their hands for another offer.. "this is it. I'm going somewhere." I said to myself as I started at the crowd with my blue eyes. "Sold to the man in the top hat and black hair!" the man shouted. The man who bought me was young, about my age maby a little older. he had black hair about to his chin in length, bright blue eyes, wearing an expensive coat and top hat and had a cane with a silver leopard at the top for a Handel. the metal bars opened and the man who sold me yanked me out by my chains, took them off and through me at him. "she's yours!" he shouted. I ran into him and hit his strong body. I quickly backed away and put my head down, "I'm sorry." I said quickly. he bent over, lifted my chin and smiled at me. "its alright,my name is Lord Marcus Jackson." I nodded and bowed, "yes my lord." I said.

"let's head home shall we? we need to get you better dressed and get you working as my maid." he said as he turned around and started walking. I quickly followed behind him. I saw people waving at me as tears ran down their faces. I had no choice but ignore them and move on. after we got out of there we headed for his horse drawn carriage. he slowly got in and held his hand out to help me. I stared at his hand and then his smile. "come on." he said. I took his hand, got in the carrige and it started moving. I looked around and noticed how fancy everything was. "now, your going to be my maid which means you stay by my side no matter what. you bring me my meals, clothes, work supplies and other things. you do exactly as I say and never disagree. you may give your opinion if I allow you to. others will assist you but you must do most of the work. got it so far?" he asked. I nodded and stared at him, but not in the eye. "what is your name exactly? I need to know what to call you by." he said as he crossed his legs and rested he head on his hand. "my, my name is Alice, Alice Emerald. people call me little kitten." I said quietly. "well then kitten, once we arrive I shall introduce you to my family and servants. I am of course the head of the Jackson house hold but I have a twin brother named Glen. I have four cousins who live with me and they are Sky, April, violet and Lily Black. we have only two other servants, Austin Griffen the Butler and Hunter Guilt the cook, they are both your age." he said. my eyes widened as he spoke, "six people to serve and only one person to help." I thought to myself. as he talked I listened very carefully untill we arrived. the mansion was big and I mean big. there were two big stone leopards at both sides of the entrance. "oh, were here." he said as he got up to get out. I followed him to the entrance and entered the house. it was beautiful to me, there were crystal chandeliers everywhere, red carpet on each stair and so many doors. "now, Austin will guide you around the house." he said before he screamed for Austin. a blonde haired and blue eyed man popped his head out of the dinning room, "yes sir?" he asked.

"show miss Alice around and get her dressed. she's our new maid." he said.

"yes my lord." Austin said before he ran up and pushed me around the house. "this is the dinning room, kitchen........ any questions?" he asked. my mind went everywhere as he spoke. I nodded and asked, "ummm, what are the people in this house hold like?" he put his finger to his chin, looked up at the ceiling and said, "well, Lilly, Violet and April are ummm, different. they all are somewhat goth but very joyful. Sky is a very social girl and Glen is a shy and respective person, Master Marcus is a keep to himself kind of guy but very popular with the ladys and Hunter is a cool guy." I stared at him for a moment and thought, "well, I can tell Austin is the talkative type."

"oh, you gotta get dressed!" Austin shouted. he pulled me by my arm and to my room. "your clothes are in the wardrobe, go see Master Marcus in his office to start working!" he said as he pushed me in and closed the door behind him. I looked around my room and noticed the big bed, desk and chair and a wardrobe. I walked to the wardrobe and saw many different maid outfits. their was only on problem about them, they all were in short skirts or to low or to skimpy. I grabbed a blue and white made outfit that was really short and got dressed. after I made myself look better in a bathroom. I headed for his study. I knocked on the door and slowly opened the door, "Mr.Jackson. I'm ready to start working." I said quietly. he looked at me through his glasses as I entered the room. "yes, um, bring me some whales tea please." he said.

"yes sir, right away." I said as I quickly ran to the kitchen. I opened the door and saw a brown haired and green eyed stare at me. "I need some whales tea please." I asked. he pored some into a cup and gave me a sliver tray with milk, suger, a tea pot and a tea cup. "thanks." I said as I ran out. I quickly ran up the steps and knocked on the door. "already? come in." I heard Marcus say. I walked in and set his tray down on his desk. "is that all sir?" I ask. he mixed the milk and suger in his tea and took a sip, "yes I think so, but get a bath ready please." he said. I bowed and said, "yes my lord." and ran out to the bathroom. I slowly turn on the water and check the temperature, "I think this is good." I said to my self. as the water filled the tub I walked to Marcus's office, "sir, your bath is ready." I said as I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps walk to the door and it opened. "alright, get the towels and such." he ordered.

"already have them all set Master Marcus." I said. he smiled and nodded. "okay then let's go." he said. my eyed widened and stared at him as he walked down the hall. "I'm sorry master but did you say, 'we'?" I asked. he stopped and turned his head, "yes, didn't you already know this?" he asked. I nodded pretending that I knew and followed him to the bath. I closed the door behind us and asked, "sir, cant you have Mr.Griffen to do this?" he shook his head and said, "he's out to get groceries right now." I nodded and walked up to him. I slowly untied his bowtie and too off his jacket. he watched me as I unbuttoned his shirt. "master, can't you simply do this yourself? I am a lady after all." I asked quietly as I lingered before I took off anymore of his clothing. "well, I guess I could for today to give you a beginner's chance." he said as he took off his shoes. I bowed and said "thank you my-" I was interrupted by him, "but after I get in you must cleanse me." I blushed and stared at him, "ye-yes my, my lord." I said while I stuttered. I turned around as he undressed and got in the warm bath water. after I heared him get in I turned around and grabbed the soap. I gently scrubbed his back and shoulders. the silence was so awkward. I regretted doing this but it was my master's orders. my face was red the whole time. after I was done he wrapped his waist with a towel when I closed my eyes. I dried him off and brought out his clothes. "anything else my lord?" I asked as I tied his bowtie. "have the house cleaned and the table ready for this evening, the people of the Alabaster manor will be visiting us this for dinner." he said as I put his shirt and coat on. after he was dressed I bowed and said, "yes sir." I walked out and headed for the dinning room. I changed the table cloth to the house color which was blue sliver and white and changed the flowers to blue and white roses, polished the sliver wear and folded the napkins. after I was finished setting up the table I walked around and dusted the furniture and decorations. I remembered the cook and headed for the kitchen. I stepped in and noticed he wasn't working, "excuse me but, ummm, don't you know we have guests coming?" I asked. as he layed back in his chair he looked at me and said, "Austin hasn't come back with my ingredients." I nodded and ran out of the kitchen and suddenly ramming into Austin by accident. making him throw the groceries. "oh my goodness, I'm so sorry! let me help." I said as I crawled around the floor picking up the scattered groceries. "no uhh, its fine I got it. you go on and clean." he said as he snatched everything up and ran to the kitchen. I slowly got up and wiped the dust of my knees and saw I got carpet burn. "oh dear, ow! its just a little scrape no big deal." I said to myself as I looked at my cut. I walked around the mansion cleaning and polishing for about a hour untill Master Marcus called for me. "Alice! Alice! come here now!"
