I'm so sry if the first one was rushed, but I do have a good reason, my mom told me that my grandfather died while I was writing. But I had promised myself to complete it, so it came out that way.

Anyway, I do hope you'll find this one better.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Chapter two: meeting the family

"They look like normal kids, but they hide a lot. They fool people by their innocent faces and fake smiles; they're like slow death; no worse. They drain life and sanity out of you little by little until… it will be too late for anyone to save you."

"I've seen nannies come, and with only luck itself, leave in one piece. But some were not that lucky, some of them are still hidden in the house, not to be found until this very moment."

She looked at the dark- haired young woman in front of her; she only needed some scary music and a light beneath her face, so this can really become a horror movie.

Fear made its way to her heart for the very first time; she dealt with many annoying children before as she was a teacher. It was never hard for her to change them and come closer to their hearts, sure she never been a nanny before, but she sure knows the feeling of having one.

She couldn't blame them for hating those strangers, who come into your life and give a reason to your parents to ignore you, but now… she's one of them and she must help this family as quick as she can, so she'll be able to get back to her past life.

"Were you listening to me, Miss Alice?" Chan asked while waving her hand in front of Alice's face.

"Umm… yes, I was. I was just thinking. They can't be that horrible, maybe they just need…attention." Alice said, but quickly forced herself to let go, as old images of her life as a child flashed into her mind.

"Keep thinking like that and you'll be out of here sooner than you think," Chan said in a matter of fact tone, while raising her eyebrow.

Alice wanted to object on that, but she saw it was no use since Chan-lee will do her best to give her more evidence. Instead she just shifted the view from what was inside the car, to what was happening outside as she heard the large metal door being opened.

She looked around at the lovely sight before her; there were lots of trees and green spaces wherever she looked, kinda reminded her with the place she came from. She breathed in the clean air, it wasn't like the dirty air of the city that makes you cough; it was soft and refreshing. To top it all, this amazing piece of heaven had a lake with crystallized water that reflected the sun light creating what it looked like a rainbow.

"All this belongs to the Kazami's?" Asked Alice while staring at the view.

"Yes, amazing huh?" Chan said. Alice only nodded.

Finally, the car came to a stop in front of the Kazamis' mansion; Alice got out of the car and stared at the house in awe's. Chan took her suite case, and motioned her to follow.

Alice felt her heart beats faster, but did as she was told. It's time for her to meet the family.

"Here we are, you just wait here, I'll go put your suite case in your room and call Mr. Kazami," Chan said and went to do the job, leaving Alice alone in the lobby.

"Excuse me, how did you get inside? And who are you?" Mylene asked in a loud tone, which startled Alice a bit. From the look in her eyes, Alice knew she was in charge.

"Umm… hi, I'm the new nanny, Alice Gehabich." Alice answered.

Mylene came closer to her, and started looking at her from head to toe with her icy eyes.

"In which houses you were a nanny before?" was her question after a long time of glares.

"None, this is the first time." Alice answered.

"What! Miss Doglass promised me with a high skilled nanny, this is unacceptable at all!" Mylene shouted at no one in particular.

"I…I have…"

"No need, the skilled ones just failed, maybe you'll do better," interrupted Shun as he walked in with Chan.

"Nice to meet you miss Alice, and welcome in our family," he completed and stretched his hand for her to shake.

She looked at him, and took his hand.

"Thank you," she said with a soft smile on her face.

After that, Shun got out a whistle from his pocket, and blew in it, the sound was ear piercing that Alice covered her ears with her hands. Soon enough he stopped, and foot steps were heard on the golden stairs.

In a few minutes seven children with matched outfits lined in front of her, she looked at them and nearly cracked up in laughs; each one of them had different hair and eye's colour, she wondered how

they could be related!

She quickly returned to her normal self and remembered why was she her; to help.

"Miss Alice, meet my destructive kids. Kids, Miss Alice here will be your new nanny; I'll let you talk with each other. Breakfast at eight, lunch at five, dinner at nine, and you are to move freely in this house." With those last words he left.

Alice watched as he entered his office with no further talk, she felt he was sure she'll not last her enough to know more.

"Hi, I'm Alice. What are your names?" she asked in a caring voice, the more she tries to be nice the more she'll be safe from them, or that's what she thinks.

"Ace,"

"Julie,"

"Runo,"

"Mira,"

"Joe,"

"Baron,"

"Marucho,"

"Nice to meet you all!" Alice said.

The triple ceremony…

I'm not a nanny.

"I want to tell you that I'm not here as a nanny,"

I'm your friend!

"please, consider me as a friend."

We will have fun.

"I'm sure we'll have so much fun together!"

Just like the others, she's not different…

"I'm sure of that, Alice. Why don't you go now to your room to take a rest, I'll show you the way?" Runo offered.

"Thank you, Runo…right?" Alice said.

"Ya,"

Chan looked at the kids leading her upstairs with their usual evil grins on their faces, she wanted to warn her but it was too late.

So… how was it? The torture starts the next chap, I feel sry for Alice! The next one will be funny, just what I need. Tell me what you think and I'm still waiting for your evil pranks.
