To Escape

To Escape - 8 - Starting Out

  It was dark. Panic drilled in my body; I was alone. Then a thousand red eyes appeared getting closer to me each moment the monsters moved closer to me encasing me with there liquid black skin, their skin was moving over their bones like water over pebbles and their blood-red eyes were hungry for me. I was trapped; then they bared their long elongated canines dripping with metallic saliva. I screamed. No one heard me.

  They came closer like waves of darkness drowning me in inky shadows. One of them stood before me drenched in oily black liquid, then it leaped in to slaughter me.

 

   I bolted upright in my bed; my body was covered in a sheen of sweat.

 

 

“It was just a nightmare,” I whispered to myself.

  Ever since I had killed my first vampire I have had those dreams occasionally, I always thought it was how they taunted me in their afterlife.  Suddenly my door slammed open and standing in the doorway was a woman, her wiry greying hair was pinned back into a slick hair-bun.Her eyes were very oval, bird like almost. She stood upright with a very authoritative posture.

 

“I am your housekeeper Ms. Amelia, Here is your uniform and other necessities, be ready in 10 minutes and someone will be here to take you to my lecture.” She said while placing the clothes onto the dresser.

“No slacking and get to it,” and then she stepped out the room.

  Slipping out of my bed I went over to the dresser and picked up my uniform.

 I quickly undressed into the maids uniform. I picked up ever thing else and then stepped into the bathroom. 

  I looked in the mirror and felt my cheeks heat up. The black skirt came halfway down my thighs, and a tight white blouse was tucked underneath, hence the plunging neckline. Now I feel like a slut.

  

  I looked for something else in the pile of clothes, something to cover me better. I pulled out a white apron; that will do. I pulled it tightly around my waist and tied the bow at the back.

   I pulled my hair back into a messy bun, stray hairs falling either side of my face. Quickly I brushed my teeth and put on some light make-up.

   I hurried into my bedroom and slipped on the black dolly shoes Ms. Amelia had gave me and in record timing my door clicked open.

 There stood a girl around my age with short black hair in a punkish cut, she just stood there staring at me.

“Is it true!?” she spluttered out, her face wild with excitement.

“Is what true?” I questioned

“That you spat on Master Ashmoore!? You’ve gotta have real balls to do that!”

“Yes I did and hate to break it to you I don’t have balls…”

She literally launched herself onto me and gave me a bone-crushing hug.

“We are going to get along just perfect,” She told me.

What is up with this girl?

“Well my name is Ruby and I think I’m going to be working with you most of the time, Ms. Amelia is as death as an old bat so don’t worry about her but don’t get on her bad side,” Ruby paused as if remembering something, “Oh shit! We need to get to the lecture I forgot.”

  She grabbed my wrist and practically dragged me behind her while she was running. I remembered every path we took until we came to a standstill.

  We were in the entrance of a beautiful dining hall, lavishly decorated to impress.

 I looked to see around 15 people lined up. They people who were workers for the house or more like forced into slavery by stupid stinking vampires.

  I straightened out my uniform and joined the line with Ruby. Everyone was stood dead silent with there hands by their sides. I imitated them the best I could.

  And they all waited… I knew all what there was to do with being a maid, it wasn’t mentally hard, just very tiring.

  Ms. Amelia slowly paced in, eyeing us head to toe as she walked past us, scrutinizing our uniforms. She scanned me down with her eyes, gave me a funny look then moved down to Ruby.

   I let go of a breath I had been holding out as a sigh as I closed my eyes when I opened them someone was stood in front of me.

“Holy shit!” I gasped from the sudden movement, “ Shit! I just said that out loud.”

 I felt everyones eyes on me, I was just digging myself a deeper hole by the minute.
