I don't know why I agreed to this, it wasn't the smartest choice in jobs and my mother was the one who signed me up! I don't want to serve some snotty, stuck up Royal.. Which in fact never did anything to help the village. I hear some of these maids actually despise some of the Galloway's.
"Elizabeth." I look up as my name was called, I get up and walk towards the door. I feel the stares from the other occupants staring a hole into the back of my head. It didn't make me feel any better than I already felt. I don't know why I was this nervous, I mean I'm only going in front of the royal family that controls the whole village and you know can kick me out if I mess this up. Yup, nothing to worry about.. I reach for the door knob but before I could get a hold onto it, it opens.A man bursts out, he was dressed a butlers uniform.. I guess it didn't work out to well for him. Before we collided I managed to move to the side, we make eye contact.. His grey eyes stare into my soul, his eyes showing all of his emotion without him having to say even a word... He surely was angry.
I walk in through the door, "Is this some kind of audition.." I scoff thinking to myself. The people stared at me while I dazed, they were wearing such fancy dresses and suits, it was amazing, their dresses were jewelled and their faces seemed to be shiny with some type of gloss. You could tell they were royalty,
"Miss. Williams! Are you done glaring at us? Could you please tell us some of your skills now?!" One of the women hissed at me. I snap out of my gaze, "Yes I'm sorry, umm.." I think back to the time my mom was lecturing me on what to say. "Ugh.. What woman says umm." I hear a man whisper. "Yes I'm sorry. My special skills are, cleaning, preparing food... Cleaning laundry..?" I say not knowing what else to say. I could see the girl in the front point her finger at me and gesture for me to come closer, "listen.. I don't think you're right for the job.." She said whispering, "So you might as well save yourself from the embarrassment and.." her hand tips the glass in front of me, I quickly grab it and position it upright. She looked shocked and so did everyone else there.. I look around, "Is there something wrong.." I ask wiping my wet hand from the glass on my dress, "fast reflexes? Non of our maids have that! You have the job!" A man sitting next to the girl exclaims while jumping out of his seat. "Um- thank you!" I say faking my excitement, "What is wrong with these people.. It was nothing special." I think to myself. I look at the long table scanning the people I'm going to work for, "So! Elizabeth Williams.. How old are you?" The man says while gesturing me to sit in the chair behind me. "I'm 17 and I'm very committed to work." I say not knowing what else to say. "That's good to hear, any previous injures, "No, I think I'm alright." I say scanning my arms and legs. "Any children?" The girl from earlier asks, I almost burst out laughing. "No. No I don't." I say holding in my laugh. "Hmph. Not surprised.." She scoffs while Turning her head for me not to hear. "Excuse me what was that?" I say annoyed. "Oh nothing im just not surprised that you were too ugly to actually find anyone to like you." She says. "Amelia! That's enough!" The man shouts, "you've got the job come tomorrow at the manor and we'll get you started." He says smiling. I fake smile and start towards the door, "Jeez what's her problem.." I think. I continue to walk and head home. I begin to cough when I walk outside, being in their house for so long almost made me forget about the wreck inside the village. I get closer to my house when I see my mother run towards me, "Oh honey how did it go!" She exclaimed. "It was good, I got the position.." I said sighing, "Oh honey I'm so proud!" She said clapping her hands, "I only got it because I had 'fast reflexes' which I don't understand, it's like they've been pampered there whole lives.." I said to her. "They have! You're just lucky you got the part, now come on.. I managed to get some food from the market today." My mom says while guiding me inside the partly burned down house. "Thanks mom.." I say faking a smile. "I really hope I can make enough money for her on this job. She deserves everything for the life she gave me." I think to myself looking at my smiling mother guiding me to the food she fought for.
