You know how there is always a few signs before you get into a whirlwind of trouble? Well, I think I missed a bunch of them considered how much trouble I got myself into. I knew I should have never trusted Lorina.

Why did I agree to do this again? The maid was never a problem to me before. Sure, she sometimes locked my cat outside on rainy days, but she never ever did anything to make me want to put leeches in her socks.

I could understand why Lorina hated her. When I was going though the maid's dresser looking for her socks, I came across a box filled with things that belonged to Lorina. There were a few necklaces the neighborhood boys have given her, a box of half eaten chocolate, a large pile of love notes, and the pair of Lorina's shoes she thought she left at the creek.

I looked at one of the love letters. It was quite corny what the boy had written on it. I don't think comparing your love to a vegetable is the best way to ask a girl out. But the weirdest thing about the love note was the fact that Lorina's name was scratched out and replaced with the name "Josephine". I didn't know who Josephine was, so I kept looking for the maid's socks.

Finally I found them. They were at the very bottom of the dresser. I opened the jar of leeches, almost waking the maid up in the process, and started putting the leeches in the socks.

Leeches are really gross. They are slippery and slimy and I had to frequently pull them off my hands to keep them from sucking my blood. I started worrying that I might get lightheaded from all the blood I was losing in my fingers. Why does the maid have so many socks anyway?

I would have made it safely in and out of the maid's room if Dinah hadn't come in. I love my cat, but did she really have to come in the room and wake up the maid? Seriously, why did Dinah have to wake up the maid when I was filling her socks with leeches?

"Meow!" said Dinah as she jumped up on the maid's bed.

"Dinah, no," I whispered as Dinah began going towards the maids face.

"Meow!"

"Dinah, get off the bed."

"Meow! Meow!" Dinah sat down on the maid's face.

Thankfully, I heard the maid snore again. That brought me a slight relief. I really thought that I was going to get out of there quickly without the maid waking up.

"Fine, Dinah, just don't do anything that will wake the maid," I whispered.

"Meow! Meow! Meow!" It was almost like Dinah was trying to get me in trouble. But, she's only a cat; there is no way she could be doing that.

I put another slimy leech into a sock, when I heard the sound of the maid sitting up.

"Alice! Why are you going though my things?"

A/N

Gee, I wonder who Josephine is. Oh and special thanks to foreverTEAtime for beta reading this.

B/N

You might wonder over the 'b/n' but it makes perfect sense, really. You see, I'm not really an editor nor am I the author in any way, shape, or form. So it's actually Britt's Note! *mumbles* or you could put 'Beta' in there. Mine's more creative, though! *sticks tongue out*
