Eleven

Daphne took me down the deserted hallway. We entered another building located at the back of the main mansion.

She stopped at a particular door which read 16 in front of the wooden piece. Her lips parted to say something but were cut off instantly by the ear-splitting scream coming from inside the room. An exhausted sigh escaped her lips as she said, "not again" she groaned, pushing the door open. I followed along into the room but she stopped abruptly turning to me.

Then muttered in a low voice to me. Clearly to warn me.

"Do not say a word. You hear me." With a slow nod, I made a hand movement, zipping my mouth shut.

"Sealed," I said. For now.

Inside the room

It was a complete mess and standing in the middle of the chaos was a girl, with chocolate brown wavy hair. She happened to be a maid telling from the tightly fitted uniform gown that looked a size smaller than her body. Her cleavage looked like it could tear apart the tiny little button that held them in place together. In short, she looked like a classic bitch.

"You lousy mutt, I know you took it" she screamed again stabbing our eardrums with her high-pitched voice. I winced covering my ears.

On the other end of the room crouched timidly in a corner. Was another girl, a maid too. She trembled in the corner using her hands to protect her face.

The angry she-wolf lifted another piece of furniture over her head aiming it directly at the cowering maid.

"Stop" Daphne shouted, her arms outstretched to the angry maid. She froze, narrowing her gaze at us. The chair in her arm is still up in the air. Her eyes filled with fury, and the lines of veins popped along her face.

"Stay out of this. It isn't your business. And how dare you barge into my room." She ranted, Daphne unfazed by her ridiculous threats went on to say.

"You know it's against the law to harm another worker." She warned. "Especially if she is a runt" she added.

"Oh my, here you come again with your stupid rules. Who cares if this runt dies anyway. I'm doing everyone a favour " she rolled her eyes.

"Stacy….," she said in a slow warning tone. The girl named Stacy curled her lips up into a scowl.

Her hands propped on her waist, "Do you think I'm going to listen to you just because you got promoted?" She scoffed. "I'm only backing out, it's worthless to continue arguing" she flipped her hair, and her eyes finally landed on me. It was like she just noticed I was in the room the whole time.

"Who dragged another stinky runt into my room?" She hissed at me.

Daphne came to my side, "Well good news, she's your new roommate." She stated as she dropped her hands on my shoulder.

"WHAT!!" We shouted simultaneously.

"Just great like I wasn't dealing with one now you bring another. I refuse. Take her away at once." She shouted, waving her hands at us.

"I agree I can't stay here with this crazy bitch" she whipped her head at me. "What did you just say to me?" she asked in a menacing tone.

My hands were itching to put her in place.

"You heard me…bitch" I slowly taunted.

She rushed at me, but Daphne came to our middle using her body to keep the space between us.

"Calm down," she said to Stacy, then directed a pointed glare at me. She whispered between gritted teeth.

"What do you think you are doing?" she muttered, holding back the ranting bitch behind her. It was hilarious.

A mischievous smile crawled onto my lips.

"Getting along," I said to her as she stared at me with baffled eyes that screamed 'what the hell'.

"Get out of my way. I need to claw that mouth of hers, she needs to learn her place." She shouted. I stood unbothered while Daphne held her off.

Clearly enjoying her fit of rage. I yawned dramatically, " please keep talking, I only yawn when I am really into it."

"Will you shut up?" Daphne said,

"Daphne, you are doing a great job." I winked, giving her a thumbs up. She sent me a mean glare in return.

" Don't tell me it's because she's holding you back. Come at me I'm standing here" I said over Daphne's shoulder at her, a small smile curled on my lips when I noticed my words had finally set her off.

She pushed Daphne aside forcefully, grabbed the nearest thing to her and threw it across the room at me. I dodged.

"Your aim is lacking, maybe a little faster and you could have caught me." I provoked her in a mocking tone.

She was blinded by rage. Breathing heavily as she attacked me with flying objects. Daphne went behind holding her back.

"If you continue listening to her you will be punished" she tightened her arm around her body holding her in place.

Her eyes bulged out, "Let me go I'm gonna kill her" she growled trying to get free.

It was all going as planned until…,

"What is going on here?" a stern voice interrupted us from the door. We all froze. I turned to see a woman who had a deep frown etched on her face. Her hands folded and she gazed at us and the messed up room.

"What happened here" her voice broke the silence once again sending shivers down everyone's back.

"It was all her fault" Stacy was quick to put all the blame on me. I rolled my eyes at how low she could be.

"Not completely" Daphne intervened.

"You can't seriously be on that mutt's side. She made me do this." She gasped her hands to her lips. I held my stiff laughter watching her face pale up when she looked at the woman at the door.

"So you are the one who caused this mess." The woman raised an eyebrow at her.

"No, madam butch it was all these runt's fault" she glared at me." Talk you fucking bitch. Tell her the truth"

I flinched at her words, "What could I have done to you, you are the one who threatened me since the moment I entered this room." I said in a small voice shrinking away in fear all of a sudden. I trembled for more effect. She realised this, cursing.

"I swear this lying bitch made me do this." She shouted.

"I have heard enough. You have caused enough trouble this week. don't think I don't know of your other crimes." Madame butch pointed out. The horror on her face is priceless. Madame butch went on to add,

"No food for three days and you will work in the cellar"

Stacy looked scared, in a weak voice she said, "But-"

"One week, you're welcome to argue further." She raised an eyebrow at her. Stacy for the first time in an hour since I entered this room couldn't say a word.

"You will also be moved out of this room. Since you can't cohabit with your colleagues. Is that clear" Madame butch said

"Yes ma'am" she answered dejectedly.
