C2 War in the palace

I can't let another man have her because beauty is always for the beast.

And that made my dad angry. And he gave the man a hard blow that sent the leader flying and he the floor, his men started fighting my dad.

Good thing my dad always have his sword with him.

He killed six of the men" but they were too many for just one man to handle.

As the keep fighting and cutting my dad flesh open, I could not do a thing as a child.

All I could do was to cry if that would make them stop but that didn't stop a thing.

My mom on the other hand was crying for help, shouting on top of her voice if any one could come for our aid but no one came.

The keep tearing his flesh open. My dad fell on his knees that was when the gang leader took out his sword and cut off my dad head.

And I screamed and ran to my dad dead body, his blood was now all over the place.

The leader then asked his men to take me out but my mom used that, as a chance she picked up my dad sword that was close to her, and cut off the leader's head" while his attention was on his men that were carrying me away from my dad's dead body.

we are turned around to see where the felling sound came from, everyone was surprised at what we saw.

That's when one of the men took his sword and cut of my moms head.

I screamed and black out.When I woke up the next day, I found my self in a dirty basement. Still trying to understand my surroundings, when the door opened. I looked to see who it was and a man and a woman walked in.

The both stares at me like I have horns or something I don't really know.

The man walked closer followed by the woman" I guess you was kind of a jealous woman.

he then asked her what should I do with her?

The woman watched me moving unconformably on the floor.

she smiled and move her stare to the man. " let's keep her" she said, she will be our daughter's maid.

I licked my dry lips, looking at both of them because I really don't know who they're but I knew the man from last night because he was one of the men that killed my people.

The man then nod once and said OK" that's a good idea.

they looked at me for the last time before leaving me alone in there.

I have no another option than to comply on what I was told to do.

My life changed over night from a Princess to a maid.

My life became a living hell, I tried my best to do everything I could to make their heartless daughter like me a like but that was out of the box.

And she was of my age too.

I sometimes ask my self that how could such a young girl be so heartless.

I was never sent to school but she do give me her books that ain't needed to put them away.

I do not put them away, I do read them and I'm happy that I can read and write too.

The only time I do rest for a while is when she and her friends goes out or at night. Not all night though because I do wake up on time to start my duties. After doing what I was told to, the lady of the house sent me to the market to buy food stuff, I was on my way when I saw a lady running to my direction, calling for help. I looked around the place was as lonely as a grave yead. I ran to her handing her right hand and both of us ran to a hiding place, at the back of a big tree. The were lots of trees at both of the road side so we took on big one to hide on. That's when two men run out from the way she ran out from. We stayed silent, the men searched some trees on coming closer to the tree we are hiding on, the other man ask the one coming close to come let's get out of here. And both left, when they have disappeared out of site, we come out of our hiding place, she was so greatful for my help and asked me my name and address which I told her. I walked her for a while before I waved her goodbye and we parted ways. I got to the market bought what I was asked to and left. On getting back home, the lady of the house was so damn angry at me for coming back home late. I had the beating of my life that day and she did not give me food nor water, I slept hungry. I have never had such hard life before, but growing with people that are not your parents and not having a parents to run to when things get hard, is a bigger problem. I had to endure everything I'm passing through and hoping for a brighter future if the is any waiting for me. So times I feel like their daughter Lisa is jealous of me but I don't really know why she should be in the first place, she gat all the best dresses you can think of, she gat friends, she do go to school on like me. She is beautiful too I guess. But I still don't get it. I have been having this nightmare every night now, that I get scared waking up because it feels to real. And when I'm awake I feel tired like I have been running all night in real. I got up took care of my business and head out to start my duties as usual. I was wake up every early in the morning at four o'clock, lately I have become weak, I guess is because of the nightmares that I have been having ever since I turned seventeen, Jennifer has become my friend. We have been friends for some months now, she was brought from the slave market three months ago. But our friendship is the secret kind of friendship, because if the lady of the house or her daughter comes to know of it we will be dead meat.

I told Jennifer about my repeated nightmares, and she comfort me saying it was just a dream you don't have to get worked up about it. I was happy guess I have seen someone that I can share my problems with,

It was a Saturday morning I and Jennifer were cleaning the house, when the lord of the house come back from his journey, he has been away for 3 and half years now. The male servants took his belongings inside his room, while he walked in looking at us coldly. I was scared and I can see that Jennifer was scared too, we bow down our heads and greeted him but he just walked passed, without replying our greetings.

Jennifer looked at me with a questioning look, I then made a guisture of devil may care, we laughed at that and continued working. Lady Dorothy was not at home when Mr Michael came back, I do sense that Mr Michael came back with not so good temper. A few minutes later, lady Dorothy walked in nervously. She walked slowly to Mr Michael's room and that's when we had them arguing about who was cheating and who wasn't cheating.

I have been here for a ong time now and I have known that lady Dorothy was cheating on her husband. Maybe it was because the husband traveled for a long time I guess. Sometimes at midnight a man to come to the house. But I won't be too nosy about that because is none of my business, but the noise is getting higher and higher until we heard a loud slap that made Lady Dorothy screamed, we had to run out from the living room that we were cleaning for our ears and us to be safe.
