Chapter 18

You can motivate by fear and you can motivate by reward. But both those methods are only temporary thru only lasting thing id self motivation.

A great day It is, if your cleaning the whole mansion all by yourself!.

father gave a word to all the maid that no one, not even flora would dare on helping me cleaning this crap of a den they called house, three hours pass and I was done, glad the maids always clean this mansion  every evening  before they go to sleep. I went to the garden and was shock on the scenery I was facing especially on how it looks like a large number of dry leaves were scattered everywhere and mothers favorite flowers were now dead and drain from water, my disappointment towards my father only increases. this place was my mothers favorite place not just because of the flowers but the eerie yet calming feeling surrounding the place. I remembered when I was young I always hang in this place and I always felt mother was just right behind me, watching me from afar.

Albright! I need to get a grip before night came I wouldn't dare clean at night, snakes are big problems in moms garden. first thing first and with my fast skills in cleaning I finish it before dawn.

Walking out of the garden I accidentally steps on a twig shite' this part of the garden is hardly seen by the sun. creeps slowly crept up on my arms and I shiver in horror when cold wind pass through me Jesus Christ! I pray to all saints please don't let ghost or any bad substance in the air gets to me. I can't stand neither handle my emotion towards ghost but the odds had different plan on me fuck*ng cupcakes a highly unidentified object resurrect in front of my face oh my god! The only thing that came first in my mind was the word run.

I run and run, I even trip over a hundred times but it didn't cross in my mind to stop I wasn't aware I was running in circles not until a mad women stops me dead In my tracks her face was all white and her hair were pin on her sides and she's awfully scary then she shouted.

" What the hell are you doing in here in this hour! running in circles in mam lily's garden,
Speak your side young lady!."
Her voice was horrifying to hear and I was left speechless, she's not a ghost!if I remembered, she's Mia the lady in charge of all the maids inside and out of the mansion. I spoke with a light shiver.

" I-i'm sorry did I wake you? I thought the maid quarters are inside the mansion?"

" you thought wrong young lady, I was the only one who sleep in this wide garden."

" you sleep in the ground?"
I ask confuse, who In a right mind would sleep in the ground!!

" stupid I wouldn't be in here serving this family if they let me sleep in the ground."

I see.. She doesn't know me base on what I've heard, she said this family, not 'your' family. She usher me to follow her and I obliged without second thoughts I can't risk to see a real ghost this time, I followed her all the way through the maze, after a short walk not far from the place where she caught me embarrassing myself, A house or simply a small cabin stood rooted in its place and it was bright inside, I am certain I was the one who needs to be blame, the insides were beautiful, a home'e feeling were screaming in me in every angle of the house, she turns and usher me again to sit, what am I a Dog?

" I apologies for being rude you still don't know my name I am---."
I cut her short in her sentence

" You don't need to,I suppose I know you, you are Mia the head of the maids nice to finally meet you."
Her eyes were wide maybe she's wondering how did I knew who she was.
I was impress when she knew who I am just by looking into my eyes.
