A maid for Master
The Master's Possession
By Authoress Vicky Amy
Episode 1
In a faraway land, somewhere in the country, a young girl could be seen carrying a load filled with hay into the cow's barn.
"Alyssa."
The seven years old youngster slowly turned around to see who had called her.
It was one of the maids in the house, Ava.
"Your mother has been coughing out green stuff," Ava said.
"Green stuff?" Alyssa replied as she slowly dropped the hay and walked towards Ava who nodded her head.
Ava left her work and hurried to the slave house, dashing past the huge crowd and crawling up to where she and her mother usually stayed, around the corner.
"Mom," Alyssa said as she plopped lightly onto the bed beside her mother.
"A-Aly," her mother slurred as she coughed violently.
"You're gonna be okay? I'll get something to eat, anything," Alyssa said as she jumped to her feet and ran out of the slave house, heading to the main house.
She managed to sneak into the kitchen in the main house, without been seen, or so she thought.
Having surveyed the varieties of food that she'd never tasted in her whole life, she decided to go for a meatloaf.
Stealing was bad, but she had to do it.
"Well, well, well," a voice said as it clapped lightly.
Alyssa squeezed her eyes as she bit her lip and bowed a little.
It was her owner's wife. Madam Barbara.
"Stealing, from my kitchen?!" The elegant lady fired as she pulled the little girl by her long brown hair.
"Aish-" Alyssa cried.
"You have no fear, have you?"
Alyssa nodded as tears threatened to pour out, "yes I do, my momma's suck, that's all."
"Pamela?"
Alyssa nodded as Madam barbara let go of her.
"She's nothing but a liability on me, gah, fuck!" She cursed as she started at Alyssa.
"Liability?" Alyssa thought.
Madam Barbara muttered some words under her breath then looked at Alyssa.
"For trying to steal, you'd spend three days in the dungeon."
Alyssa wasn't shocked, but she wasn't going to leave her mother to rot.
"But my momma-"
"I'll take care of that."
Alyssa smiled as she fell to her knees and hugged the lady's leg, "thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Hey guards, get this filthy thief to the dungeon!"
Maybe the price of her mother been cured was to spend three days in the smelly dungeon.
She didn't make trouble as she was taken to the dungeon.
"Why are you so happy in a dungeon?" A fellow hostage, Earl asked her after she'd been brought to the dungeon.
Alyssa crawled on her fours to the dirty girl and sat beside her, "my momma is gonna be okay in three days."
Earl had a confused face, "Is God gonna heal her?"
Alyssa shook her head, "Madam Barbara, she said she'd take care of her."
Earl couldn't help but laugh dryly, "you mean our madam, the Madam Barbara?"
Alyssa only nodded as she reached for her feet and pulled her worn-out shoe, then massaged her feet.
"You're so innocent."
"Thanks," Alyssa replied.
Days passed by real quick for Alyssa and soon she was eagerly awaiting the guard to arrive.
Her only food throughout those days was just stale bread and water.
She didn't care as most times craved for bread and it feels like a win-win situation for her. Or even when the mosquitoes fed on her light skin.
She bolted upright when she heard the gates been unlocked.
Earl who was damn pale, laid on the cold ground, obviously weak and due for sickness.
"Bye!" Alyssa said happily as she happily skipped towards the guard.
She walked ahead of the guard filled with energy and headed to the slave house.
"Hey, Alyssa's back!" A girl shrieked as everyone turned to look at Alyssa.
"Oh, Alyssa, my poor girl," a lady, Olivia said as she pulled Alyssa to herself and pat her dirty hair.
Alyssa pulled herself from Olivia and then scanned the room for her mother, as usual, she'd be the first to welcome her.
"Where's momma?"
Everywhere became dead silent.
Alyssa rushed towards the corner her mother usually stayed but saw no one.
She rushed back to them and pointed in the direction she'd just gone, "momma? I can't see her?"
"Alyssa, your mother is-" Olivia began and then paused.
Alyssa looked at Olivia with her big hazel eyes, as she slowly shook her head.
"She's gone."
"G-gone?" Alyssa repeated her last word.
The girl placed her hand on Alyssa's shoulder.
"B-but Madam Barbara said shed take care of her."
"Yes, she did, but news spread around that Pam was left in the forest, to die."
Alyssa lost her balance and fell on the cold floor, landing on her butt.
She let everything fall in before she screamed and pulled at her hair.
"No! No! No! No! Momma! I wanna see my momma!" She cried as she tugged at Olivia's leg.
"Alyssa," the woman said as she crouched to the floor and hugged Alyssa.
"Olivia shouldn't have told her," a lady said.
"And let her find out on her own, she'd be more heartbroken we didn't tell her first," a lady replied.
"Everyone, back to work!"
TBC
What a lady! So damn heartless.
Your thoughts about Madam Barbara.
I hope this turns out great as expected.
Stay tuned!
