Hey guys! I kinda edited this chapter a little. Mainly spelling mistakes and what not, so not much has really changed. But anyway, here we go!
…
"Oi, Georgia! More tea over here!" The twins shout waving me over to their table.
I put a smile that shows that I'm more than happy to be of service. I'm not.
I walk over, with fancy china teapot full of peach tea along with some really delicious looking deserts, which sat on delicate little plates.
They had me wear this new maid outfit, designed by Hikaru and Kaoru. It was the typical black and white maids outfit but it looked really fancy, but luckily they didn't make it too…sexual.
The twins had continued with their brotherly love act, which makes me sick but I can't really complain because they earn a lot of money from it.
I quietly pour more tea into the two ladies cups, before doing the same to the twins. The tea pot made a small clink as I it back onto the tray, and began handing out the deserts. I was about to move away but something grabbed my wrist and pulled me down.
I was shocked to say the least, expecting some stupid prank which would have ended with me hitting the ground covered in tea, but instead, I landed on something soft. I slowly open my eyes to find a set of amber ones starting back at me.
I landed on Hikaru's lap and he had both is arms wrapped around my waist. Hikaru's lap!
"Thank you for such delicious tea…" Hikaru cooed in my right ear, sending a chill down my spine. I can feel my stomach twist in a knot. Please don't…
"And the sweetest desserts, but you know what…?" Kaoru cooed in my other ear.
"We think we will take you instead." They finished together. The girls started screaming 'Kawaiii' and had hearts floating around them. They were even blushing. I'm not even blushing and it's happening to me. Plus I never blush, well as far as I'm aware.
I pushed that feeling of slight fear down, before turning on my courage. "Sorry boys, but I think those lovely ladies would make a better snack then me." I say, with a host smile plus a wink before quickly scrambling away from the twins. They look shocked. Maybe it was because I resisted their act. Or, maybe because they didn't expect me to act like that?
"You know what? I think she's right." They say together and look like they were lions on the prowl, keeping their attention on the girls in front of them.
Continuing with my job, I take my tray of tea and sweets over to Honey. I know he will always want sweets no matter if he is full or not.
"Georgia?" I hear someone ask. Typing away on the couch I see Kyoya.
"Hmmm?" I respond, curious as to why the 'shadow king' as most of the hosts call him looks up from his computer and gives me the time of day.
"Actually, it can be discussed at a later date." He looks back down at his computer. I nod and continue over to Honey. When I get there he had fallen asleep on the guests lap. It's actually really cute. I just pour some more tea for Mori and the guest who are both just enjoying the silence. I leave a little piece of chocolate cake there for him. Mori nods at me and I continue on being a… argh….maid.
…
Finally it's over. I changed out of my uniform into a black and white shoulder cut shirt and another pair of black shorts and my black boots, and cleaned up the little plates that were left on the tables and took them away to the kitchen to wash them. Hey, there's no-one else to do it, plus I got nothing to do. The warm soapy water around my hands made me feel useful.
"No mistress, let me do that. Such a job is not meant for someone of your class."
I let out a sigh, as old voices entered my head. But I finished the dishes and left them to dry. Outside the kitchen I saw Haruhi trying, and failing quite badly, to dance. Tamaki was sitting in a corner with a negative aura surrounding him. Did I miss something?
Haruhi has absolutely no balance and it's pretty easy to see where this was going. Just give it five seconds.
Five…
Four…
Three…
Two…
"Ah!"
And one…
Haruhi had landed on top of some random chick, I think her name is Kanako or something. I giggle a little at poor Haruhi. Kanako's arms slithered their way around Haruhi's neck. It seemed like the girl was in love.
'Oh no, what do I do?'
I scan the room from left to right, looking at who said that. But I knew exactly who it sounded like. Haruhi. This isn't the first time this has happened, so, am I crazy or is this something more? I shake off the thought.
"Are you going?" I hear two annoying voices ask behind me.
"Going where?" Not bothering to turn around. I feel one wrap their arms around my shoulders. "Get off me." I growl, anger thrown into the tone of my voice.
And of course they don't listen. So I elbow both of them in the chest and they fell to the ground, clutching their chests tightly. You could see the pain on their faces.
"To the dance of course, all Host Club members are required to go. In semi-formal dress code." A raven haired teen, said from one of the closer couches not even bothering to look up from writing in his black book.
"Uh huh," I raise an eyebrow, "Good thing I'm not a host then, huh?" I try to walk away but both of my wrists were grabbed by two red heads.
"No, you have go." They basically demand, "Hey we have an idea," I saw them smirk at each other, "We can make your dress!" The twins say in unison completely recovering from their blow earlier, an almost evil look in their eyes.
"No." I state, knowing that they will make me wear something that probably has a slit up to my underwear and barely covers my boobs.
"Yes." They argue back, and it just turned into an almost sibling squabble.
"No!"
"Please!"
"Nope!"
"Come on!"
"How about... NO!" I shout at those two, louder than they are together. "I'm gonna make my own dress!" I blurt out, before slapping my hand over my mouth.
Why did I have to say that? Georgia, learn to keep your mouth shut!
There was silence in the room, which I found golden until the twins burst into laughter. The nerve of those two.
"What's your problem?" I roll my eyes and fold my arms.
"You said…" He couldn't say it, "...that you would…" Hikaru starts gasping for breath with tears forming out of his eyes, banging hit fist in the air.
"Make...your own dress." Kaoru finishes in the exact same position.
"How about we put a wager on it, a bet if you must." An evil grin forms on my face, specifically pointed at the twins who also had the same idea. One thing they don't know about me, is I never lose a bet.
"We're listening." They say. Now this is going to be fun.
"How about your hold a Hitachiin a masquerade fashion competition. I'm sure most girls would be in. Make them wear a mask, that way you don't know who they are, and you two will judge and pick the best dress. If you pick me, I win." Which will be the case.
"And if we win..." the evil glint in their eyes, they look towards each other. "We get to give you something to wear on Monday at school."
Well, from what I know about the twins, if you make a dare or deal with them, it's like making a deal with the devil. If you lose or can't pay up, you're going straight to hell. If I lose this, I'm going to be put through hell.
"And if I win. You two have to wear sexy bunny costumes to school."
Hikaru and Kaoru exchange worried look, but it quickly vanished and was replaced by a look of pure determination.
"Deal" they say in unison.
They're going down.
…
The rest of the day went by fairly quickly, but my main thoughts were on the bet. If I lost who knows what would happen. They didn't actually say what they were going to make me wear, which by the way, makes it way worse. My mind is screaming at me to back out, because the twins are probably going to make me wear bunch of strings. But that's not me. I never back out of a challenge.
The walk home was quiet, and peaceful. The neighbourhood was nice and clam, with kids running without a worry playing with their animals. It was really nice.
"Georgia, come quick!" one of the young girls who lives down the road shouted. She had short brown hair that reached down to her shoulders, wearing her 'I LOVE FREE' red and blue shirt with a dark blue pair of denim shorts. The eight year olds brown eyes were full of worry.
"What is it Mia?" I ask.
"It's Mel, she's in the abandoned house and she's trapped by the mean stray cat that's been hanging around." Oh no…
Mel is Mia's sister, just a year older. Mel is horrified of cats, and the abandoned house is just a few pieces of burnt wood barely being held together by rusted nails. It's way too dangerous for a 9 year old to be hanging about there anyway.
Mia and I start running towards the abandoned house as soon as we heard a high pitched scream of a little girl. I stream ahead of Mia and get to the gate of the house.
It's was two story house with gates that run into the side of the house blocking entrance into the back yard creating small alley ways down either side. All the plant life had died around the front yard year, and the grass has gone brown, it's a very unwelcoming place.
"Mel! Mel, where are you?" I shout looking over the fence into the right side alley ways, but I couldn't see her. She could be anywhere!
"Georgia, help me!" I hear Mel shout in a shaky voice. Its sounds like it's coming from the left side of the house. I quickly run over there and through the tiny cracks in-between each fence post. And there I see her. Mel was backed up against the fence with a horrifying looking cat, hissing and scratching the air in front of her.
"Help!" she half whispers. How am I going to get to her? I then see an old box or something that resembles a box, conveniently placed a metre or so to the fence. I move to pick it up but it won't budge. Looks like its staying there.
I think I'm gonna have to flip over the fence. I move backwards slightly to get a run up, then I sprint. As fast as I can then step on the box and jump. I managed to pull myself over the top of the fence, before falling to the ground, right next to Mel.
"Ow!" I say standing up rubbing my ass as I stood up. The young girl instantly clung to the back of my legs holding them for dear life.
"Hey, it's ok." I say, stroking her hair, to calm her own. Then I focus on the cat in front of us. She was clawing the air at us, but that wasn't what had I worried. It was what the cat was saying.
"Mel, can you hear what she's saying?" I ask calmly. She didn't look up but instead rubbed her face into my leg, answering no. I let off a sigh and start to do my little trick. My hand goes to my necklace, and a blue light instantly floods out of it, covering the two of us.
"Look up." I say bending down to her level. "It's ok." I take her shoulders, so she looks me in the eyes, "Do you trust me?"
She whispers a small yes and slowly looks out towards the cat. Her face lights up when she sees the colour surrounding her skin. She turns her hands over looking at the palms.
"This is so cool!" She marvel at the fact that she's glowing. She doesn't even bother asking what's going on because her attention was focused on the cream and white cat in front of her.
'You stupid human! Why aren't you listening to me! Please help my babies!'The cat shouts as she claws the air again.
"Georgie, that cat is talking to us." She says in amazement and slight confusion.
I give her a little nudge forward before saying "maybe you should talk back."
She slowly paces forward looking back occasionally to check whether it was ok with me. She stops just in front the cat and kneels down. Her long dark brown hair flowed down past her black singlet with the lion king symbol on it when she did. She took in a deep breath, before letting it go, beginning to face her fear. "Hey there," She catches the cat's attention, "What's your name?" Mel says. The cat stopped complaining and tilted its head in confusion.
'You can hear me?' She asks as she puts her paw down, and sitting,
"Yeah...I guess I can." Mel replies as she looks back at me. I just shrug my shoulders as in saying I've got no idea what you're talking about. "What's your name?" Mel asks the cat.
'My name is Tinker. Well, that's what my previous owners called me, but they kicked me out when they found out I was pregnant with kittens.' She almost jumped into the ait with realisation, 'My kittens!' She sprinted off, running around the corner of the house, and Mel quickly followed without hesitation.
"Mel!" I shout as I follow them around the corner. The house looked even worse than it did at the front. There were twisted, thorny vines covering almost everything in sight. There was burnt bits of wood scattered throughout the place.
"Gi, come here, quick!" I hear Mel shout from inside the house.
I slowly walk inside, trying to avoid touching fallen beams and bits of burnt furniture in case they make the whole house collapse. If found the cat and girl sitting next to a small pile of debris
"Georgie, her kittens are trapped by this pile of stuff." She points out. "We've got to get them out."
I felt a small panic arise in me fearing for both the safety of both of us, but those kittens as well. I'm not the biggest fan of cats in the first place but I can't just leave them like this. But wat happens if I move one of the bits of debris and the building collapses? I honestly don't trust this building at all. I guess that I could keep them safe but then we'll get in trouble for being in the yard because it's private property.
I sigh, "Ok." I say and bend down next to the pile of debris. I pick off the first piece, the one that looked like it could easily be moved. It came away easily and I placed it behind me.
"That one." Mel says pointing to another piece.
I raise my eyebrows, "Are you sure?" I ask her.
"Yeah, it's like pick up sticks." She says like it's obvious. So I do as she says, however I couldn't completely move it out of the way but I did get an opening. I could feel the other pieces about to fall if I could move though.
"It won't budge any further, do you think you can fit now Tinker?"
'I think I can.' she says before walking in. I didn't take too long before we saw the first kitten emerge. Then there was another, until six small kittens wondered through the small gap followed by Tinker.
"Aww they're so cute, I want to take them home!" Mel then looks at me with hopeful eyes.
...
"Thank you so much Georgie" Mia and Mel shout as I walk away from their house. I helped her carry the kittens over to their house before leaving them to talk their parents into keeping Tinker and her kitten.
I live further down the street from Mel and Mia, and my house is slightly smaller but the garden is a hell of a lot bigger. The street is probably about two hundred metres long having something like twenty houses on it, each with their own uniqueness. Some had beautiful gardens and some had funny little mailboxes.
I was one who had a beautiful garden in the front and in the back. My house backed onto a forest so I had plenty of room for my plants. That's where I get my income from, I'm a florist. My business's name is 'Astral Nature'.
I sell so many types of flowers so that I can cater to every ones needs, whether it be a wedding, funeral or just something for your honey, I have it all. I see the sign that's attached to my white fence as I enter through the gate. I follow the stone path to the front door and unlock it using my key. I hear that familiar click that means then it's been unlocked and go inside, taking off my shoes at the front door.
"Winter, I'm home." I shout into the house in hopes of getting my friend to come out of hiding.
"In here!" I hear her voice calling from my room. I head down the hall and into my room.
My room isn't very fancy, just a few things here and there like a photo frame, a tiara, a desk, a chair, a bed, a walk in cupboard and some little plants. I throw my bag down to the ground and flop on my bed. That was a very big mistake because got a horrible pain in my butt.
"That hurt." I moan, rolling over onto my stomach so that the pain would stop.
"What did you do this time?" She asks perched on my desk chair.
I sigh, "I tried to jump a fence but failed."
"Why would you do that?" She says with a flat tone, telling me that I'm clearly stupid.
"Well…" I take in a big breath. "Mel went into the abandoned house and got scared to death by a cat but when she heard what she was actually saying she wasn't scared anymore and she took the cat home and the kittens."
Winter shook her head in disappointment, rolling her eyes, "I thought you said you weren't going to use your powers?" She questions moving over towards my window.
...
"So that means she won't say anything again?" Mel asks looking up at me with her big brown eyes
"Sorry Mel, but no. And you can't tell anyone either." I say sadly, trusting the girl.
...
"She won't say anything. Trust me" I say sitting up in a position that was comfortable.
"If you say so." she says fluttering over her tray of seeds. Did I forget to mention that she's a bird? My bad.
Anyway this is Winter, the tailor bird. Her feather are a beautiful red, yellow and orange colours, with a black and orange beak. "Oh, and there was a call from Miss Yoshiro. She wants an appointment tomorrow, around twelve?" She said, putting another seed in her mouth.
"Okay, thanks Winter." I praise her, before sighing to look at her. "Can I ask you a favor?"
She turns to me, tilting her head to the side, "Depends what it is."
"Do you think you could help me make a really gorgeous dress for the ball on Saturday night? Pretty please?" I know for a fact that she is not going to be happy with me asking. She's just like that.
I saw her take a deep breath, "So you think that because I'm a tailor bird I am able to make a gorgeous dress in two days!" She says fluttering close to my face. From head to tail, she's probably the size of your forearm, so she's sorta small, sorta not.
I smile sweetly, hoping to get my way, "Maybe?" I say. She sits on my shoulder and sighs.
"Ok fine, but what about your magic?" She says.
I mean, I could use my magic, but really it wouldn't be right. "Well, it's kinda cheating." I says to her.
She looks at me confused, before shaking her head at me, "Cheating?" You could hear how annoyed she was with it, "You made another bet didn't you?"
"Come on Winter, you know me." I sigh, "I can't help it."
She sighs. "Fine, I'll help. On one condition, you have to make me a worm smoothie." Ewww! I hate making her smoothies! Blended worms, sunflower seeds and corn. It's really gross! But, I can handle it. I really don't want to lose this bet.
"Ok deal." I said and we got to work that afternoon.
...
Let me know what you guys think!
Until Next Time,
Silva Out!
