I followed quickly behind Merida, maintaining a distance, so she wouldn't blame me for the stench I carried about, one thing I know was we were walking towards the store room arrrghh, more work!.
Getting into the store room there were several maids there, moving around hastily, I mean it's the princess wedding, everywhere is rushed, Merida yelled at me "what you doing get to work now!" That's are usual word 'get To work', I rolled my eyes when she wasn't looking.
I quickly left and started doing what was to be done, we were arranging the ball room with the other maids, "hey slave, come clean here" one maid said immediately after Merida left the room.
My name wasn't slave, I knew she was talking to me but I acted as if I didn't hear and continued to do my work, another voice came "Are you deaf, she's talking to you" this one said pointing to me.
Then I turned and looked at them "Oh, me?", I questioned which annoyed then the more, I did it deliberately, because I'm fed up of them treating me like trash.
"How dare you question me! Slave, you know I'm talking to you, you're the only slave here" she yelled at me, I rolled my eyes and continued with what I was doing, I know I'm asking for trouble.
The maid got really angry, she picked up a vase and come rushing towards me, others gasped and whispered "the vase is to cost Ella, you can't afford it" I caught that and I chuckled, I knew the maid wanted to smash it on my head.
Just as she was about to smash my head, I caught her hand in a swift motion, she was staring into my soul, her eyes red like fire, Gosh why was she overreacting over such a little thing.
I collected the vase from her hand, and dropped it gently on a nearby table, I pushed her away, I didn't know where the energy came from, but she fell far backwards I have decided today I'll stand up for myself.
"How- how dare you" she stuttered standing up again, I glared at her and warned "Because I'm a slave doesn't give you the right to say trashy things at me and order me around like a king, and be sure the next time you do that I'm going to kill you, yes it's a threat" I sneered.
The other maids openee their mouths shocked at to what I said, I looked away and continued my work not minding them anymore, but I'm sure now that they'd all avoid me for a while.
After doing almost everything we were giving time to have lunch before we continue for the rest of preparations, which is bringing food into the ballroom and serving.
I heard the engagement party would be from evening till midnight, so I have to eat and save strength, its going to be a tough night.
After taking my food from the slave kitchen, I went to sit near a big tree, people hardly come here, when I was a princess I used to come here with my brother.
I sat down on one of the rocks, and started chewing on my food slowly since there was still time, I didn't want to rush, all I want was peace of mind, everything seemed peaceful and calm here, not like how chaotic the main palace was.
I guess good things doesn't last well for me, The maid named Ella, earlier in the hall, was coming my way furiously with her minions as if they were going to devour me.
"Bitch, isn't this you now, where do you think you can hide from me" she kicked my belly landing me to the floor "beat her!" She commanded her minions.
They kept punching and kicking, slapping and hitting me anywhere there hand could meet, after being satisfied to what they have done to me.
Then Ella came forward and brought something like a long pin, she stabbed me at my stomach, "next time you'll learn how to respect people" she said and spat on me as they hurried away not to get caught.
The wound wasn't deep but my body was painful as hell I sat back up and rested my back onThe tree, blood oozing out from the wound and staining my clothes.
Thankfully, there was a little stream across the tree so I mustered my strength and stood up and worked towards it, since nobody would come here I pulled my clothes and entered I to the water to clean the wounds and my clothes.
