CHAPTER 6

The twins found themselves in front of an extremely large mansion, surrounded by large walls and a tall, big gate stood in front of them.

The gate was opened by two security men. The King's car drove in first. The securities bowed as he drove pass. Two other cars followed suit, then theirs, then two others before the gate was shut close.

They drove in and were parked in front of the mansion.

"Prison here we come". Alice mumbled.

"You and who is going to prison?" Alicia mumbled.

"I can't even identify you guys. But I know one is more gut-filled than the other". Rose said.

They were all dragged up the steps of the mansion. The securities at the door opened up. The King had disappeared before the twins even got out of the car. The vampires at the door looked at them with disgust.

"I bet if they met under better circumstances, we would have been the one to stare at them with pure disgust while they drool over us". Alice said with a smirk.

They were led inside the mansion. It was so big. Maids were all around. Some who were vampires bared their fangs at them. A silent promise to rip off their throats. Some stared at the twins in confusion. Of course they probably had an issue identifying them.

"Yeah! We're duplicates!" Alice said proudly, shining her perfect white teeth as she passed by a confused maid.

"Quiet!" The warrior walking behind her said and kicked her knee from behind.

She kept quiet.

They were met in the middle of the hallway by a slim woman. She was beautiful but when she saw them, her face darkened.

"Some stench full creatures we have here don't we?" She said with a smug look.

"Head of maids, these are our new slaves". Sasha said appearing from a door at the far end of the hallway.

"My Princess!" The woman said, bowing to a proud looking Sasha.

"These two, give them a befitting treatment for former Princesses". She said smiling and pointing at the twins.

"At least she gives us a little respect". Alicia silently squealed to only her sister's hearing.

"You wish! That lunatic always has something up her sleeve". Alicia whispered back.

"Care to let me know what the discussion is about? I'm quite interested". The slim woman said.

"Easy there Martha. Don't you think it's quite early for OUR girls?" Sasha slurred.

She made sure to emphasize on their ownership of the twins. To her she was doing her job and fulfilling her brother's wish of making life miserable for the twins.

After all, their father once made life miserable for the vampires. It was time for them to have a taste of their own medicine.

She went up to her brother's room but the guard at the door handed her a note from her brother.

‘I've gone to meet with the council to decide the next step of finding the treasure. I trust you to stand in while I'm gone. I may be returning back to the Knighthood pack in search of the treasure. Feel free to join me anytime. Love, Azalea’.

She went back outside. She had warriors to train. The Board may want to stand behind the werewolves and launch an attack on them for going against the rules and attacking the werewolves.

Meanwhile, the twins were receiving a treatment suitable for 'former princesses'. Of course Princesses were thought to be rude, sassy, scornful and always maltreating their maids. So if you an opportunity to swap places with one, you won't waste a second in maltreating them.

"This is your room from now". Martha, the head of maids said.

The maid Alice had earlier talked down opened the door for them. The twins and Rose held their noses. The room had an awful scent. It was down to Earth dirty. The twins didn't think they could survive a day in there. How worse could life get? They were surely gonna get back at the vampire King and his sister.

"Go on in. Kylie will get you your cloths". Martha said.

"One of you twins would dress in blue always, the other green so we can have a means if identification. You both look too alike". Martha added.

The twins said nothing to her. She furrowed her brows and wanted to lash out at them but maintained herself. She had to give them a welcoming treatment first. They weren't prepared for what was to befall them. She smiled wickedly.

"You will go on blue". She said, pointing at Alicia.

"But I hate blue!" Alicia retorted.

"You are in no position to make choices. You take what you are given". Martha said, crossing her hands on her chest.

"How am I supposed to take what I don't like?" Alicia kept saying.

Martha was in front of her in a jiffy.

"I don't like repeating myself". Martha said, boring holes into Alicia and baring her fangs.

Alicia swallowed hard.

"And you 'my dear'.." She said, going over to Alice.

"You're going on green". She finalised.

Alice hated green. She loved purple and Alicia loved red but she could not oppose. She didn't want to enter into Martha's black book so early.

"You my quiet one, you'll go on orange like the rest of the maids". She said, going over to Rose.

Kylie gave her a quick wave, unnoticed by Martha. She had already taken to Rose at first sight. The girl looked humble unlike the sassy twins.

"Yes Miss Martha!" Rose replied, her head bowed.

"I like you already". Martha said, flashing her pearly white teeth.

"Thank you Miss Martha".

"That'll be all for now. Kylie will be back with your clothes and then drill you before you commence duty". Martha said and cat walked out of the room.

"Please can we at least have something to eat?" Alice found herself asking

The next thing they heard, made them wish they died with their parents.
