My figure wandered around the living room, not even far gone into the job, and I seemed a total mess.For hours, I had gone through the same rigorous round of activities, dusting, scrubbing, brushing, it was only fair at this point, that I put my aching body to a rest. Form pushing towards the plush settee, I sank into the seat without warning, a quick sigh pouring out my lips.Okay, maybe I had raised my expectations so much. I must admit, I never thought making money would be this exhausting. And the worse feeling about it, is working for that money, not for one's personal gains, but to have an outstanding issue settled. It was tiring, believe me. Something glistened on the wall, snatching my attention for a moment. It was a glass frame, securing a painting, one which had managed to grab my attention. My gaze lingered on such magnificence of a piece eyes staring in awe at this item which looked like something one would find at an art museum. Feet had soon pushed forward, drawi
The sound of different voices coming from the other side of the house, caused me snatching the broom off the ground, hands reaching to wipe my tears-stained cheeks. Three figures came into view, those forms walking towards my direction, yammering and arguing about something so serious, they barely had taken notice of the girl stood before them onlooking with so much as a curious gaze.My attention was centered on two of the profiles in particular—bearing such striking resemblance, you were left wondering if some trick was being played on you. Those features they carried, similar hair colour, the same button-sized nose, and only then did it hit me that these were the twins Denna spoke of. That other figure seemed not to spare any attention to whatever it was they went on about. To be honest, he seemed bored out of his mind. "Oh, C'mon dude!" One of them drawled."For fuck sakes, I'm going nowhere!" Followed the response. Their british accents were evident. It was then I realised t
The first stop I made after leaving the Williams mansion, was the hospital. Not even daring to go home. People were seen scrambling about, while the hospital remained in a state of chaos. I could see a crowd hovering over a figure that was laid on a stretcher, while some nurses dragged the person in, screaming for the way to be cleared. That blaring of siren which gets me worked up every now and then, that particular sound which turns my hands clammy, blasted all around the vicinity, adding up to the discomfort of noise. Growing up, I was taught the siren meant danger, rather than rescue. For it was only heard whenever there was trouble. Be it the police siren, ambulance, fire brigade service, whatever it was, you would only hear that sound when a life was at stake, hence I never grew fond of it. It still gave me the chills, even till now. Hurrying my way past the number of figures, I moved over to the room where my mom was kept. Her figure was laid on the bed, wires of all sor
A tap on my shoulders, had at once jolted me off the comfort of sleep.Vision blur, I remained staring at the figure in front of me. Eyes slowly registering the person, and soon realizing it was a nurse. I looked around the room, examining every corner and every object present, and only then did it come to my knowledge that I was still at the hospital. Letting out a yawn, my gaze shifted over to mom who was still laid in the hospital bed, sleeping more peaceful than I'd ever seen her these past days. "Did you sleep here?" I heard the nurse utter to me. "Yeah.......Got so exhausted. What's the time?" I asked, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "8 a.m" She replied. At the mention of this, reality knocked the senses back into me "It's a new day already?" "Christ! I'm late for work" I exclaimed. "Kindly tell mom I left" I called while running out of the room, pushing past every figure I came across in the hall. Hurrying out of the hospital, I made my way down to the path which le
I rushed into the hospital with the money held close to my chest, hurrying into the room where my mom was. Three doctors were present in there talking to her.Perhaps discussing the bad sides that would occur, if she wasn't treated at once. Oh, how much they loved divulging not so good news. Every one of them. Can't wait to see the shock on their faces when I present the whole lot of the money to them. "I have the money, doctor." I said amidst panting, my loud voice did so much in getting each of their attention as they placed all focus on me. "You have to start immediately." I added. No utterance came from any of the men, they all just remained staring at me, watching as I waved the stack of currency before their eyes. "How much do you have there ?" One of them asked "I don't know" "I don't care"My breathing was heavy, beads of sweat all over my face, while I moved over to the wall, trying to steady myself and taking in deep breaths. They all stared at me like I was crazy.
I walked into the Williams mansion, a sad expression plastered on my face. Denna as usual was in the living room cleaning and dusting away all dirt while I walked in. "You're gonna get in trouble one day for turning up late" She smiled at me, waving her duster at my figure in the process. I struggled to flash a smile back, Proceeding quietly into the kitchen.Luckily for me, I found it to be empty.Now where could everyone be? Deciding it was time to commence the day's duties, I grabbed an apron, packed my hair in a bun, and went for the cleaning instruments which were at a corner screaming for my name. The sudden storming in of a figure caused my whole figure jolting, gaze shifting to the doorway where a form came pushing in. Somewhat familiar, It didn't take long for me recognising him—the same boy from yesterday, advancing towards me, his eyes never for once evaded my profile. His hair remained ruffled, jaw clutching tight, gaze held strongly on my form. Anger sure filled hi
The sky had turned an orange shade, with the midday sun slowly retreating into a cloud, signaling the end of work for me. Not that I was done with my chores or anything, but the day having come to an end got me feeling so excited. Truly, the day had been tiring--Dusting, vacuuming, washing and the list went on and on. Mary and Tara were in the kitchen preparing a meal for the family.The usual, While the Williams' all came out of their respective rooms, making their way to the dining room, prepared to have dinner as a family. I must say, it was quite admirable for every one of them obeying and turning up to the dining hall to have dinner with the rest of the family. I heard Ms Tara yelling out for Denna and I, while she in turn had the dishes laid on a tray. The first figure I came across the moment I stepped into the dining area, was Mrs Williams, sat by her husband while Tyler and Logan joined them afterwards, then followed Dylan, Derrick and David. "Where's Ashley and Camer
Third person POV... The man and lady of the house were dressed up ready to leave for their meeting. Both in the living room, patiently awaiting the arrival of their kids, just so they could mete out whatever instructions they had for them. Ashley soon came hurrying down the stairs, giving a squeal while twirling in front of their figures. "How do I look?" She questioned. Her eyes broadened immediately, ears perked, awaiting the response she yearned to hear roll out her father's lips. Worn on her body was a mid-length tight fitting dress, paired up with thigh high boots."Beautiful.....Very beautiful" Mr Williams cleared his throat, eyes accessing the outfit on his 'innocent' girl."But sweetheart, it's just a party. It's not prom" He stated. His utterance earned him an eye-roll from the girl, who in fact had took her time going through the depths of her closet just to pick out something to her taste. No rebuttal from any one would cause her turning around to get changed into som
