Project 63
Chapter 3: Requisition
( Internal point of view: Pandore )
Luckily, I arrived at work with my cooking outfit and by surprise I was greeted by the chef in person to put in place in his fridge, his name is Allan Onor, it is a little coated, his hair is brown and a little curly and he has the famous chef hat on his head
- Good evening! I guess you're Pandore Scarsheld, my new cook is that? He asked me with a smile
- Yes it's me ! I replied shyly, he smiled and came to shake my hand
- I knew it ! I was expecting to meet such an adorable little girl like you! I hope we will work well together! He told me before he showed me his little kitchen.
Then my first job was to prepare a gratin Dauphinois ( it's a French dish for 10 personns ) for the service tonight, then we went to a great cleaning in his kitchen to work on a good basis. While Allan pruned 5Kg of potatoes, I was responsible for making the au gratin: Easy, I know it by heart! I take a large container called a goose and inside I pays 2 liters of liquid cream, 2 eggs, 45gr of fine salt, a teaspoon of pepper and nutmeg and 16gr of garlic, all in 5 minutes. Allan and proud of me and after I poured the liquid into the gratin, I had to put it in the oven, knowing that I am small and not much strength in the arms.
- Go Pandore ! Put me on the top rack! He encourages me by opening the door of the oven, I raise the water bath with the strength of my little arms and puts me on tiptoe to successfully put the bain-marie in the oven, and with many tremors because of the heat, I managed to put the gratin and close the door by blowing very hard
- Well, you see when you want! Allan pointed at me with a wink, I grumble while rubbing my face, then I ask how I had to start cleaning.
- So ! I'll start by cleaning the cold room, you for now, I want you to get me everything on the shelves then you bleach on each shelf, then you rinse your sponge, you go back a blow then you will wipe with paper! It's OK ? I nod my head, then I see the height of the shelves and said
- Uh ... How am I going to do? I am too small to get all that down! Allan's eyes widened in surprise then began to think, then he has an idea. He asks me to wait in the kitchen and start removing what I could on the shelves, so I start to go down all the pastry equipment installed at the top, then it was the turn of the plates. Plates that of course weigh a ton.
A few minutes later.
Allan came back with a small stool that he gave me
- Here ! With that, you'll be able to clean the shelves, and once we have everything to tidy up, we will eat and then we will clean the work plans, we will spend a clean shot in the oven and we will finish by the floor, but I would go by yourself, you'll leave after we finish the work plans okay? He said to me with a smile, I nodded then I start work. In fact, I'm not very comfortable working on a stool, I was always afraid to fall.
Several moments later, I finished all the shelves, I just had to put everything back in place, I start of course by the lowest shelves, I start with that of pastry equipment, then by that of plates, but for the higher one: I'm stuck! I take my courage in both hands, take a pile of plates and climb the stepladder, I tremble a lot and the moment I managed to put the pile plate despite my trembling, I hear the voice of Allan tell me
- Sorry smart, I have to go! There I feel the stool move under the force of Allan, immediately I hang on it screaming
- No boss! Please stop, I do not want to fall! The stepladder stopped moving and Allan chuckled at me squatting
- But do not worry Pandore, you were not going to fall!
- Yes ! I was going to fall, and I could have broken all the plates! I'm still moaning while shaken
- But no you were not going to fall! It's in your head that! Reassured Allan while making me come down.
At 10:00 pm, the kitchen was almost completely clean, all we had left was the floor. So I decided to help Allan despite heavy fatigue, and when we were all finished, that is to say, at 23:00, I see Allan was writing in a small notebook, I approach him to see more closely
- What is it ? I asked curiously, Allan smiled at me and then began to explain to me
- This is your notebook! I have one for each person who came to work with me, in there I make my observations that I will then sent to Lady Andrea who at the end of the month, will make a point with you to see if you like to work here, and if it is not the case it will change your service to find you something that suits you best! It will just be enough that you signal it too! Come on, go to your room, normally you should have left! Go run, tomorrow I want you here at 10am! Good night !
After saying good night, I leave the restaurant. It's already dark outside and it's a little cold. Not having sleep any suite I decide to give me a ride in the open air, especially as it goes, it is cool but not to the point of freezing on site. Here I am near the port, I see one of the black boats of the time I arrived here. I see two men dressed in black on the pontoon talking to each other while smoking their cigarettes, I decided to listen to them
- So ? Tomorrow is what we are already embarking?
- Have you already forgotten? What a memory of goldfish, you will always surprise me! Tomorrow we will ship everything that is cover, cattle and bottles of wine! Our boss is an expert in this field, I hope that this fat bacon chef made good wine as his great habit !
- The advantage is that it serves something that big pile! His taste is impressive! I'm sure next week he'll cook up some of the most delicious stuff!
- Its true, you are right ! Me too I already have the mouth water! But tell me, do not you think it's a shame that we are prohibited from marketing these people?
- What is your point ?
- Think about my guy! All these little crabs and this high class woman all have a quality or a magic talent in them, it's almost impossible to find. They are wonders of the world! It's simple in the society where you live, nobody wants to see them as normal human beings, so if people think that way ... Why not take advantage of it to provide services? Many people are looking for these things, and it would be more profitable to make them slaves for society !
- It's not already what we do? The two men laughed at us, they despise us ... For them we are not humans!
We are only objects of satisfaction for society!
I decide to leave with a strong heartache. I feel the ruby of my ring shine with a strong brilliance on my finger. It is they who are not human, they deserve only to finish in food for the animals which themselves are better. In my head, the sky is darkening visibly, and the men behind me fall from the pontoon collapsing under the lightning, and the two men see a shark arise from the water to devour them like ordinary fish.
- Ah! Help ! I heard cries coming from the port, then turning around, I see the pontoon collapse and the two men are in the water in front of a huge shark that disappears suddenly, men are hurrying to reach the bank still completely paralyzed. The black sky above me has become a little clearer: Is it really me who did that ?
I looked at my ring, it shines less than earlier. I do not understand anything, I enter the White Manor and arrive at the floor of the girls' rooms. I see that some are still working while it is already midnight pass
- Oh ! You are Pandore ! What are you doing at such a late hour? Asked me the oldest of the housewives
- Sorry about my delay! I'm staying longer at work to help the chef finish and I hang out a bit ! Housewives are outraged at my response
- But Pandore, you can not do that !
- And why this ? There is nothing wrong with that ? And you ? You still work while all activities must stop at midnight! Why are you still here! I was surprised by this answer
- Pandore ! I think you do not understand, it's dangerous for all of us to go out, especially at night! The members of Organization 63 might hurt you, and Lady Andrea would be terribly sad if something happened to you! When we have to prepare the goods for tomorrow, but we are almost finished, do not you …
I do not even give him time to finish that I take several cloth on my arm and ask him
- Where should I put them? The maid is surprised, she wants me to go to bed and let her manage with other women, but I see they are as exhausted as me. Especially that I see that one of her is pregnant, it is a young woman taller than me, with a very long gray hair up to her lower back then she has impressive emerald green eyes, I see her lifting a big stack of cloth. Immediately I come to help him
- Let me do it ! The latter is surprised, especially since she is young like me, she must be 1 or 2 years older than me. Pregnant and reduced to exhausting work
- Uh ... thank you very much! She told me all embarrassed, all the housewives smiled at me.
- It's nice of you to help our little Mary! We have been trying to take care of her since her pregnancy but ... with all the work we have to do, she always insists on helping us and her power is very beneficial to us! Explained to me the oldest of the housewives, I become very curious and allow me to ask him
- What is your gift? She smiled at me and answered me
- I know how to handle gravity! I can also lift objects by telekinesis! I am impressed but I realized that she did not use this power too much since she was pregnant because it requires a lot of energy for the person.
- Thank you very much for helping us Pandore ! Thanks to you we are perfect for the requisition of tomorrow!
- You're welcome ! I find it unfair that you work at such a time! We should punish those people who treat us like slaves! There, I went back to my room and then got rid of my clothes to put my pajamas and collapse on my bed. In my covers, I keep thinking about what happened to these two men at the port, I imagined what would happen in the sometimes chaotic world of mine. And the action came true, though if I imagine for example, an apple she will not appear in my hand like this: Nothing in my hand!
- Here ! I knew it ! I Grumbled, I can not bring up things from my imagination, it's impossible.
In this case, my gift is more complicated than that ?
The next morning, I worked only during the morning strangely. So I finished at 14:00 instead of 20:00. So I came out still surprised by this, and then leaving the restaurant, I see several men in black out of the White Manor with the sheets of the housewives I helped last night, so I see a group of four men arrive to the restaurant and others went to the gardens, there I remembered what the two men said: The fabrics, the pets, and the bottles of wine ! This is the requisition today and they ... It's The Organization 63 ! There, Annie's words come back to me: « These are the hard law of Pandora traffic! » « The Organization 63 is the largest trading company in America, if they attack, we will lose it ! » « Now we are enslaved to feed the traffic! »
I can not leave that like that !
Even if the White Manor earns money with this traffic, it is unfair, but if I sabotage, the White Manor will have big problems, at least I can go support Annie in the gardens. I hurry to join her and then get there I meet Anna getting her nicest shrub she had barely finished
- We'll take this one! Plus your two trees there! Asked the man without any politeness, Anna could not answer anything and just obeyed, but in his eyes I saw that it saddened him to give all his best work to villains like them, she gives both other shrubs giving at the same time instructions for use, and the man allowed himself to touch her beautiful brown hair
- Here's a nice girl !
It annoys me to see her like this, then she notices me
- Pandore ? What are you doing here ? She asked me coming to see me, I grabbed her by the hands asking her
- Annie! Where is she ? She is surprised and tells me that she is on the side of animals, I thank her until I feel a hand catch me
- Hey beauty, where are you going? Stay a little here! The soldier speaks to me with an unhealthy smile, immediately I saw that my ring was soon going to shine, I turned and pushed it back
- I did not allow you to touch me with your disgusting hands! Leave me alone! I said to him insolently before running towards the animal garden.
- Come back here ! Cries the man in my pursuit, I finally get where the animals are, I see men take all the biggest rabbits Annie had, leaving him only a small part
- Pandore ? She said, noticing me, so I saw her eyes, her beautiful blue sapphires have become dull to the point that she's ready to cry, and turning to look at the man, I saw that he was holding his little white rabbit by the skin of his neck: Leene!
- Perfect ! We have everything we need ! And at the same time we will take you this pretty white rabbit, with such a fur we will get a nice little jackpot! Said the man looking at Annie's rabbit, this one is without lanes, I see her refrain from shaking but for her tears it is already too late.
A deep feeling of rage invades me, and the glow of my ring gets hotter and hotter, I grit my teeth and do not think anymore
- Hey ! This rabbit is his, he is not for sale! The man is surprised, I see him sketch a smile and answer me
- Wait a minute ... Can you repeat what you just said? Do you know at least who you are talking to, I hope? Annie beckons me to say nothing but I pay no attention
- I said ! This rabbit is not for sale, this rabbit belongs to Annie! And yes I know who I'm talking to, a bunch of assholes who afford everything because they own money and the big business that exists ! But you'd have to go back down to earth and stop having a big head, you're no better than rats !
All in the gardens are outraged at my words, even the man is surprised
- Uh ... please forgive her, sir! She is new among us, it's the first time she has to deal with this kind of situation! Anna intervenes suddenly worried for me, the man raised his eyebrows then suddenly slapped her, Anna falls to the ground with a blood pearl flowing from her lip
- I prefer that ! You better learn to educate a little better your new recruits! Especially if these are small dolls rude and hateful! This slap was the straw that broke the camel, in me I see the sky darken to take a red hue dark as blood, my ring shines so hard on my finger and the noises of my heart is powerful
- Huh? What's this look? Said the voice of the man who suddenly starts to be afraid
I see him looking around saying
- But why did everything turn red at once? What are you doing? Suddenly I see myself melt on him and he starts screaming while everyone looks at him oddly, as if it was a madman, there I lift it by something strange instead of my fingers and by a violent blow, it is projected to the fountain. All the soldiers loose the cargo of rabbit on the ground, when to me I recover Leene who is at my feet, fortunately she has nothing. I'm going to give it back to Annie who looks at me surprised when everything starts to become clear around me and my hand is normal again.
I see several people looking at me with astonishment, especially Elena, Jack and Lady Andrea who have come from nowhere. I did not even notice their presence, that's when I hear the guy just now panicked
- Ah ... this bitch ! She stabbed me, this dirty girl ! It's a monster ! It does not even bleed and has no mark
- But no man you have nothing ! What are you talking about she just sent you to the fountain! Reassured one of his colleagues by helping him get up, he then looked at me with hate and shouted at me
- Believe me it's far from being finished! If I ever meet you again in the corner, I swear I'll pay this affront believe me ! I'll kill you ! And you filthy extraterrestrial White Manor is the same, if another follow this example, I also stumble ! I'll kill you all and shave your house !
The soldiers finally left, and Annie found her rabbit hugged tight against her, I see Elena with a disappointed look and that's when I see a girl with long light brown hair and dull yellow eyes. to come up to me furiously, then she slaps me, shouting at me, "Idiot! There Valerian arose before the girl saying
- Stop Kirsten there's no point in picking on her
- But Valerian you do not realize! Because of his stupidity we risk very big trouble! And all this for a stupid rabbit, knowing that Annie is the goddess of animals, rabbits she could breed at will and more beautiful than that one! You told him at least that we should never become attached to our business even if we do it with all possible love! We are all slaves! And rebellion is the most dangerous and unconscious thing that exists! Because if the son of L'Organization 63 or even worse the father or even the boss comes back here, we're all screwed ! Shouted Kirsten furiously.
It was then that Lady Andrea laid a loving hand on Kirsten's shoulder to calm her
- Kirsten please calm down! If Pandore did so, it was to help his comrade! It is already heroic to have done this for her friend knowing that all of you all create your art with love, and generally the customers who take our products, are always happy with the work we provide! We are not slaves, I would not allow people to treat you like this! We are simply exceptional creators and these people of the Organization are only profiteers of our work! I would never leave them you consider slaves. And I'm not sorry for the action that Pandore did to save Annie's pet! She declared with such tenderness.
I did not see them like that, I wanted to help and on the contrary I angry everyone, so I decided to go to my room and I lock myself in. I stay in the dark while removing my clothes from me and diving into my blankets. I hear someone knocking on my door, but I do not answer, I remain isolated from all.
(Internal point of view: Elena)
I'm at my balcony thinking as usual, the boats Organization 63 are already far away, certainly return to their base, located just 30 minutes by boat from the lands of the White Manor, I hear the whistling from my Nirvana line. So I imitate her whistles so that she recognizes my ultrasounds through the thick fog covering the whole area, when I saw her arrive in the distance, the mirror of my necklace of gold at my stroke starts to Shine: This mirror is the symbol of my power of divination, the jewel that was prescribed to me by Lady Andrea, all we have one, but we prefer to hide it or to make them look like normal jewels to not make us even stranger !
I consult my mirror which takes a blue hue and shows me a shadow that I know very well ... A person with blue hair bristly, the puny look but which is terribly powerful ... It will arrive on our island tomorrow morning !
