AN: Okay! I got a couple of reviews already and thats totally enough to get me writing more! You guys that review so far made me all sorts of happy, so as a thank you I wrote another chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own nuthin' :
To say the Evans estate wasn't huge would be an understatement. Seeing it from town didn't do it justice at all. Maka fell ridiculously small standing in front of the main gate, in her hand was the directions Marie had given her. Their conversation of day before was still fresh in her head.
"Monster?" Maka asked. A little shocked by the term her boss, who never had anything bad to say about anyone, used to describe this kid.
"As harsh as it sounds this kid can be real brat" Marie face slightly darkening if she was recalling a bad memory. The ashen haired girl didn't know what to say. She needed this job, but how bad? If she really needed help he father would gladly help but she would owe him a favor, like a father-daughter date. She shuddered,she couldn't do that! She couldn't depend on that pathetic excuse of a man. Her eyes burned with a new determination.
"I'll take the job" She announced with confidence. Her proud green eyes bored into Marie's golden one. Walking without any hesitation, she placed her hands on her former employers shoulders. "I need this job, If I want to become independant I can't not take a good paying job just because of some brat!" She spoke.
Marie stood a moment still with her eye open from shock. Maka was a pure spirit, If she said could do it. By God she could do it. Marie's eye slid closed and she nodded, "Okay I'll call and get you directions." She shook off the younger blondes hands and headed toward the phone. Picking up the receiver, she dialed the number Maka could faintly hear the soft ringing. Someone answered.
"Ah Azusa, it's Marie. Are they Evans still look for help? Awesome she's interested!" Maka listened closely. She could make out the faint voice of a woman but that was all. The rest of the conversation consisted of mostly "uh-huh", "okay", "um.. can you repeat that?" The voice at the other end of the phone sounded a little annoyed at the end of the phone call. "Okay well she should be set for tomorrow, thanks again!" She set down the phone.
"Alright, you got the job!" Marie gushed as she handed the piece of paper to Maka. "Here's the directions you'll need to get there" With a sad face she gave her former employee a tight hug,"I know you can do this, When it came to dealing with horrible customers you were always the best" She released the girl and looked into her strong eyes.
"I won't let you down Marie!"
And here she was in front of this enormous gate, her hand was reaching to open the gate. She clasped the iron bar tightly in her hand, pushing it open she stepped forward. She was nervous but she couldn't show it. If this kid was really a monster, her nervousness would only be a weakness. The distance from the gate to the front door was a short one, as she quickly reached the front entrance. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, the wood was very solid and was probably really heavy. She stood there for a moment until she heard the clicks of the locks, shortly afterward the door inched open. A woman with black hair and glasses appeared, her glaring eyes bore into Maka's.
"You are Miss. Albarn I presume"
"Yes ma'am"
"Hmm" The woman step aside and opened up the door to let Maka in. The small ashen haired girls eyes went wide when she saw the interior she was amazed. The house was so bright and opened, her eyes wondered until they were snapped into focus by a sharp voice "Crona!" Shortly after a person with pale pink hair entered the room. Maka was intensely staring at the boy or girl intensely 'that is a boy... right?" she thought. This Crona person was looking around the room as if not sure what to do. "Crona, take Miss. Albarn to the maids closet and fetch her a uniform, Give her a brief summary of her duties. I would do myself but I am busy" And with that she was gone.
"Follow me" Crona quietly said. Doing as she was told she followed the boy, still examining him trying to determine his gender. He stopped in front of a closet, looking back at her " If you go in here there are a couple of uniforms, just pick the one that fits you best." Nodding, Maka stepped into the closet and looked through the uniforms. She quickly found one that was her size, was undressing when she heard Crona talking to her, "Miss. Albarn I'll go ahead and tell you your duties for the day, You are to wake Master Soul, get him dressed and escort him to the kitchen so he can eat breakfast, after that it's pretty much following him around and cleaning up after him. His sleeping schedule is really off, so he'll usually send you away when he's ready." Crona paused, then continued,"We've also have a room ready for you, right next to his."
Maka stood silently,"So I have to stay here overnight?" as she stepped out of the closet dressed in full maid attire.
"W-well no, but just in case you're too tired at the end of the day. Although your job isn't done until he falls asleep." Crona explained sheepishly. "Shall I take you to the young master?" Maka nodded, feeling more dreadful now. Being a maid wasn't as easy as sounded. Crona led her in silence up the stairs and down a few hallways. But something seemed off about this hallway it was more gloomy than the others. Finally they came to a stop, Crona seemed very uncomfortable he looked back at Maka "T-this is it. I wished you good luck."
Maka watched him leave, how bad could this kid be? She just shook off those feelings and took the door handle in her hands she opened the door. Greeted by darkness she stepped inside, The room was farely clean. To her right there was a large bed, with a sleeping figure on it. She thought of ways of how to wake him up but couldn't think of anything. Finally an idea hit her "I'll do it like in the movies!" She walked quickly to curtains and threw them open, The brightness of the sun quickly entering the room killing the darkness. She heard an angry groan coming from the bed. She turned to see a young man shoot up into a sitting position.
"DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH-" He quickly stopped when he realized he didn't know the person waking him. Maka took in his features. Snow white hair stood at a strange angle on top of his head, it was a very nice contrast compared to his caramel skin color. But really stood out to her was his deep crimson eyes. He could easily be considered handsome even though he looked a little rough from sleep. She could tell he was around her age if not a year or two older. She was about to introduce herself when she was interrupted by a rude voice.
"Who the hell are you?"
BAM cliffhanger? Lol on a serious note I'm really not sure if Crona is a boy or a girl, They call it both in the anime, but in this fic he shall be a boy! : I'm also thinking about making him like super bi-polar or have like mutlipul personality disorder or somethin' cuz of Ragnarok, ya know? Also how am I doind with Maka? Is she a little OC? I mean she's a very determined person but it also looks like she keeps to herself. I dunno help me out? Oh and Soul he'll probably be an asshole for a while just sayin'
Um regarding updates, I'm graduating this year (hopefully!) and I'm stuck with some BS work all the time. So I'll post whenever I can, probably more in the summer. Also, Prom and mother's day is next weekend so I may or may not update.
Please review!
Stay Beautiful ;D
