Maid for chaos.

Ch.2 Dinner time!

"Peaches? You alright? You've been a sleep for quite a while." You hear Hallow's voice on the other side of your new bedroom door.

"I'm okay, I just freshened up a bit. And... Can you help zip me?" You ask, getting frustrated with your new uniform.

After a chuckle, your door opens and there stood the tall Halloween obsessed skeleton. Wearing the same outfit he wore earlier today.

"Sorry you've got to wear a poofy maid dress, but it comes with the job. If it were up to me, I'd just let you wear casual clothing. But, I don't make the rules." He steps behind you, cold hands zipping up the back of the dress.

You shiver from the touch, why were his hands colder than death?

He adjusts your hair, letting it rest against your shoulders. "Hopefully over dinner you can get to know everyone better."

"I'd like that." You adjust the bottom of the laced skirt, it was kind of short, but you added leggings to the uniform.

Hallow sets a hand on his hip. "C'mon then, Cupid's just finished up by now. Just a vwarning, anything Cupid makes taste like Heaven! Don't eat too much or you'll get huge like me." He chuckles.

You giggle at his small joke. "He must be an amazing cook then?"

"Yeah, none of the other maids before you had to cook, he did it all. He does most things around here, vwhen he isn't working." He shrugs and enters the hall.

You put your arms behind your back as you followed him down the hall.

"Now, all you have to do is help Cupid with things, trust me caring after all of us can be a handful. If you ever need a break, just come to my door, we'll pig out on candy and binge watch horror films." He winks to you as he walks down the stairs.

"I'll be sure to do that. Thank you Master Hallow."

You thought you saw a faint blush on his cheek bones, but maybe that was just the lighting in the room. It was a slight comforting orange.

Coby and Asher were already at the dining table, joking with each other. Coby's weren't as pg as you had hoped.

"Heyyy there s-s-she is-s-s." Coby sends you a smirk as you entered the room. It smelled of sweet vanilla and a slight spice.

Hallow takes a seat across from Coby, leaning back into his chair, arms behind his head as his wings stretched a little.

"Heya Lass. Sleep well?" Asher asks, his ears slightly perked.

You return his smile. "Yes I did. Thank you Master Asher. It's sweet of you to ask."

"Kiss a**." Coby mumbles.

"Shut up!" Asher growls.

"Y/n? Is that you? Can you come in here please!" Cupid yells from the kitchen.

You give one last look to the arguing hybrids, Hallow looking annoyed.. Or was he ignoring them? Hard to tell.

Cupid stood with a pink apron, the classic kiss the cook written in it. But it looked like it was written in frosting.

Cupid had a pastel pink t-shirt on under the apron, and his signature shorts.

The chef hat on his head was way too big for him, he looked like a toddler trying to help their mother cook.

"Can you put some icing on those sugar cookies please? I have to keep an eye on the pasta!" Cupid hadn't faced you, he was far too focused on the steaming pot in front of him.

"Yes Master Cupid." You reply, standing at the kitchen island, a bowl filled with homemade icing and heart shaped sprinkles sat upon the counter.

The sugar cookies sat on a red cooking tray, cooling off. He must have just taken them out of the oven.

"So, Master Hallow told me you do all the cooking?" You ask, kind of glad you won't have to do it all.

Cupid begins to stir his wooden spoon in the pot. "Most of the time, yes. But that's because I enjoy it and no one else around here knows how to. Coby doesn't even know how to work the microwave."

You smile at that. So Coby was the dingy one? Good to know.

"And the others?"

"Hallow isn't allowed in my kitchen since he eats everything! And Asher would get hair everywhere." Cupid begins to fill different plates.

"Master Cupid? If you don't mind me asking.. Why are there six plates? When there is only four of you?" You ask, looking over each different colored paper plate.

The colors matching your Masters, Orange for Hallow, Green for Coby, Grey for Asher, Pink for Cupid, but the other two.. One was Red, the other a Navy Blue.

"Y/n, take this plates to Asher, Hallow and Coby please, I'll handle the rest. Thank you for the help." He still wasn't facing you, so it was hard to tell his expression.

Shaking your head, you took the silver platter holding the plates, and walked out into the dining room.

Once he was sure you were out of the kitchen, Cupid began to talk to himself. "No.. You can meet her later.. ...  ...  I don't want you to scare her away like the others... "

He goes silent for a full two minutes until he snaps out of it and takes the last two plates out.

You took a seat next to Asher after you gave them each of their plates, Hallow's however was just pasta noodles with no sauce on them, just mixed with red food dye. It was weird.

Every time Coby would try and take a bite off his fork, a viper from his head would swoop down and snatch it before he could even eat it.

"Damn it. I need to get a hat or something." He frowns, pouting as the female snake leaned down and licked the sauce off his face.

Asher had already dug into his food, eating like a wild animal, it was cute in a weird way.

Cupid entered the dining room looking slightly irritated as he sat down across from you. "Stupid lazy jerk.."

"Are you good CC?" Coby asks, leaning on his elbow, a few vipers looked up at Cupid's pouty face and puffed cheeks.

"I'm fine.. Let's just eat.." He grumbles and twirls his fork around his plate.

You have him a look of concern before beginning to eat your food as well.

After dinner, you decided to clean up the house a bit, after cleaning the dining table, you went up stairs to see if anything needed dusted.

That's when you found a study/library a few ways away from your room.

The walls lined with books, a fire place roaring, a red love seat sat in front of the fireplace, two red arm chairs on either side of the couch.

You walked over to sit in front of the fireplace, until you noticed someone  sleeping on said loveseat.

He was another skeleton, but.. Was he related to Cupid? He wore a black coat, red turtleneck and black jeans.

He had two red horns on his skull, a black spiked halo floating over his head. A scar going down his right eye, and two broken hearts on his cheeks.

"Would you stop staring at me while I'm trying to nap? Its creepy as hell." He hisses, sitting up, only to glare at you with his ruby eyes.

"Oh, in sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you, I didn't see you there." You take a step away from him.

"Shut up. I don't want to hear your stupid excuses.. I've already got a headache.. From Cupid yelling at me." He stands shorter than you, still glaring at you.

"Don't f**k with me. Or I'll scorch your a**." He tsk's and walks out of the room with fists clenched.

He had a tail? And who was he? You'll have to ask Cupid when you see him next.

One thing you knew, you did not want to cross paths with him again.

Unless you had to.
