Buttercup's POV

I sighed as Brianna and I were walking to the Great Manor, it was must be...maybe 6am...the sun was rising up...Brianna was telling me what I probably had to do. I was still in my usual clothes, no way I was wearing a dress no matter what.

"Well, you'rer lucky...you probably just have to clean...scrubbing the floors and the chimmenys...while I have to deal with them...cleaning up after them, waking them up...Never look them in the eyes...Lady Morbucks hates that...she thinks it means that you think you're equals or some shit. Oh and no language, she thinks its vulgar...Let's see...We're the help...Maggie and Elena live there, while Belle, me...and well..now you go home."

"But isn't it normally that servants have to live there with them? I'm not complaining...just asking."

"Well...yeah...but Lady Morbucks just wants us to serve her hand and foot and then leave, she wants less 'scum' in her house as possible. But...It's an ok place I guess...Lord Morbucks is barely there...thank goodness."

I wonder why she said that, the man seemed a little creepy but he just gave my family the key to escape as I already explained to Brianna.

"And when we get out of here, you're coming with us too." I grinned, she seemed shocked when I said that. Brianna was an orphan, pretty much...she lived by herself...her parents were killed in the war...Morbucks let her live with them until she was old enough to live in her shaggy house by herself and she started working for them when she was 11, Maggie was the one fed and clothe her, but she was in debt to them and had to work for them and pay...only half of the taxes and her debt in order for her and the Exit fee if she wanted to leave. She was my closet of my best friends. We argued a lot but that's what happened when you have two short temper girls together. Brianna was a little bit more girly than me.

"Really?" She stops right there.

"Yes, you think I would leave you here by yourself...I feel bad for leaving Bubbles, but we'll visit her everyday."

Brianna looked saddened, "I bet she wishes she could leave too."

I was stunned by what she said, it couldn't have been that bad for her...right...she was their daughter.

Maggie seemed like a nice old lady, kinda the opposite to Brianna. She smiled at me, but I could see the sadness in her big golden brown eyes, she wore the usual dress with a brown shirt, long red shirt and white apron, and had this weird white hat on her head, she kinda reminded me of a nun, I couldn't see her hair, but she could have been about Forty maybe...fifty.

"Oh my goodness, I thought Rose was standing in front of me, "She looked at me, I guess I confused her with the pants, like why I wasn't wearing a dress, "Simply, Beautiful...and those eyes...just like your mothers...Oh my dear...no wonder." She had to push my spiky hair, as it had a nasty habit of hanging over my face.

Another woman, this must have been Elisa, wearing one of those weird white hats, she was wearing a brown shirt and brown long dress, with an apron, she had sapphire colored eyes.

"That crazy Cook has done it again, she completely change the order that the Mistress had, Stuck by brain Lighting my foot, that girl is loony if you ask-" Her eyes widened as she saw me, "Maggie...I think I'm seeing things now..."

"Elisa, this is Buttercup, our new cleaning maid, Rose's Daughter."

"Oh my word...Oh my word...just look at you... with Miss Bubbles, Bree, Belle, and now this flower, the mistress will be beside herself with rage, her daughters not being as pretty as these Beauties."

"Now, first thing in the morning...is dusting, the rugs and the furniture...hop to it, the Mistress will awakened at 10 o'clock sharp, Brianna get the bath barrels ready , the Mistress went to Lady Oba again and predicting that they're going to be honored by royalty."

Brianna grumbled, "Royalty my ass."

"Bree, language," Maggie turned to me, "Now the rags can be found in a bucket by the stove, and the beater for the rug right next to it. Lucky for you there's only two giant rugs."

I walked through the door and saw Belle, her teddy bear was stirring up the bowl, Mina offered Belle a taste, Belle tasted it.

"Oh...almost there...we need...you're right Mina...Rosemary and...berries...I need apples...but oh well..."She finally noticed me and squealed, "Cupie, You work here too. Try." Sh put a spoon in my mouth, what ever it was, it was nice and warm and sweet.

"Not bad, what is it?"

"My newest creation, I called it Sweet Oats...Mina, that is crazy...she thinks we should call it Oat meal, that's crazy...anyways...it's cool beans that you're working here. This will be fun...more fun than skipping rocks."

I laughed a little, oh yes...Belle was just as hyper as crazy as ever. I grabbed the rags, bucket, and rug beater, Belle just gasped and grabbed my hand, making me drop the stuff.

"Belle, what the hell?"

"Your Hand," Belle gasping as she looked at me.

"What?" I looked surprised, Belle dabbled in Palm reading, it's what Wiccans do, Brianna was the real hand reader but Belle was pretty good but I didn't believe in that stuff.

"They're surprisingly soft." She gasped again, and I fell to the floor, "Oh and you're gonna met a special someone. I'm just so jealous I could stab you with a knife."

I backed away, "I better get going and please I don't have time for a guy."

"Keep it up with that attitude and your Prince Charming will come falling to you..," Belle winks at me as she was grabbing some eggs from a basket, "Can you imagine...Cupie.

I was outside, beating the rugs, the sun was already shining its light and it felt so good to be outside. My mind couldn't help but wonder at what Belle was saying, My Prince Charming...Yeah right...I don't have no time for a guy...I had a family to care for...and now a job..I had to be focus. No way I was gonna let...I turned around to look back at the house, I felt like I was being watched. I brought the rugs in and started dusting the furniture.

But my mind was elsewhere, when Belle was talking about this special somebody...his face flashed into my head...and my face felt instantly hot.

I can't believe I was still thinking about him, just glad my shoe didn't come off. I was suddenly grabbed by the arm and quickly turned by these green eyes with star in them.

"How dare you... Oh you're a girl...I was wondering who was this boy cleaning our furniture and beating the rug."

I looked her in the face, she was wearing a red dress, that made her look puffy, and covered head to toe in jewelry. I quickly looked down as her eyes widened. Briannaand Maggie came to my side.

"Oh there you are, it's time to scrub the floors." Maggie was trying to push me away but the puffy lady stopped us.

"Just hold on a minute, look at me." She ordered and I couldn't help but look up, the lady just smiled, showing her teeth, "My...My... Such eyes, the color of my emerald earrings, I must say...it's like looking through a forest of greenery...too bad they belong to such a...person." She spat.

"This is the new girl Buttercup

"You thief!" She screeched, pointing at my necklace, she snatched it right off my neck, "How dare you wear expensive jewel in front of me, you must be the stupidest thief in history! And stealing something as tacky as this!"

Now I was pissed, I looked her back, square in the eyes. Her eyes widened. How dare she!

"I'M NOT A THIEF! THAT'S MINE!" I screamed, snatching it back, "I DON'T CARE WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE-"

"I'm Lady Morbucks."

"I don't care if you're Queen Sarah, touch my mother's necklace and I'll break your arms."

Ok, maybe I am fired...but I don't care, No one touches my necklace...no one. Lady Morbucks just stared at me.

Maggie step forward, "My Lady, this is Buttercup, Rose Lily's daughter."

Lady Morbucks' mouth dropped to the floor but she gathered her composure, "Of course I thought that necklace looked familiar and those eyes...but the rest of you...very unfortunate, since you wanna dress like a boy...You can clean the stables, and let me warn you...Our horses are prized, jousting and racing horses, any of them stolen and you'll be jailed for life."

Butch's POV

"Damn." I was in the Enchanted Woods, looking at my horse, his shoe was missing. This was perfect, just perfect...Wait...The Morbucks' estate has stables...but..I don't wanna be bothered with those two, and their mother...Maybe I could sneak one?

Sorry I couldn't resist wonder what gonna happen next
