Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9
{Will you still love me.. when youâve met my demons?}
The next morning, Deanna finished preparing for work and went to check on Moira.
âThereâs no improvementâ Deanna said to herself, staring at Moira who was still slee-ping. She couldnât remember anything from the previous night, nor Courtneyâs visit.
âAre you re-ady for work?â Vickie asked Deanna as she entered the room
âYesâ Deanna replied, not taking her eyes off Moira
âAm losing hopeâ Vickie said
âYou shouldnât lose hope.. Sheâs going to wake upâ
âWe canât find a solution when we donât even know what caused itâ
Deanna let out her breath slowly âI wish I knewâ. She could no longer remember that Moira had drun!kCourtneyâs water.
âYou have to go.. Youâre running late for workâ
âAlright Aunt..
Take care of yourself and make sure you eatâ
Vickie f0rç£d a smile âI willâ
Deanna shouldered her bag and walked out.
Vickie sm-irked and waited for Deanna to leave the house then she changed to Courtney.
âHi slee-ping beautyâ she bur-st into an ugly laughter and sat on the be-d beside
âThey still have hopeâ Courtesy drawled running her f!ngersdown Moiraâs face âPoor cold thingâ
She extended her f!ngersand her nails grew longer. Then she made a cut on Moiraâs nÂŁÂąk and also made a cut her own f!nger. Courtney dropped blood from her bleeding f!nger to the cut on Moira nÂŁÂąk and Moira instantly turned gray.
âLetâs see what hope they have leftâ she sm-irked and vanished.
đđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
Deanna remembered Moiraâs condition and heaved a de-ep sigh as she slumped to the floor.
Hilda st©pped what she was doing and looked at Deanna.
âYouâre worrying too muchâ
âI just canât help it. This isnât ordinary.. I can feel itâ Deanna half yelled
Hilda smiled and sat on the floor beside Deanna. âNo matter what it is, I believe sheâs going to be fineâ
âI know sheâs going to be fine but does she have to go throu-gh this? Moira is just fiveâ
âMost times weâŠ.â
âHi Deannaâ Stefan interrupted Hilda
âHiâ Deanna greeted faintly
âYou look awfulâ Stefan said when he got to where they sat
âItâs about Moiraâ Deanna said
âMoira is slee-ping.. Not deadâ Stefan noted
âIt know but itâs like sheâs dead alre-adyâ
âI want to see herâ Stefan said
âVickie isnât going to let youâ
âI thought as muchâ Stefan said with a sigh. He looked around and finally noticed Hilda âHowâre Hilda?â
âYou finally noticed am here. I thought I were invisibleâ
âAm sorryâ Stefan apologized
âYouâre forgivenâ Hilda said and added âBut you owe me a k!ssfor thatâ
âHilda?!â Deanna yelled
âWhat?â Hilda yelled back
Stefan chuckled âThat means am not forgivenâ
âYou areâ Hilda said
âExcuse us Stefan weâve got works to doâ Deanna said and started pushing Stefan out
âDe..De..Deannaâ Stefan tried talking but Deanna wouldnât let him
âWeâll talk laterâ Deanna stated and pushed Stefan out the door
âDeanna?!â
âI love you tooâ She pe-cked him on the side of hisl-ips and slammed the door shut at him face âWhat the-?â Stefan sighed and walked out
âWhat was the meaning of that?â Hilda scolded Deanna
âMust you always flir-t with him?â
âOr course.. Heâs my crush and heâs beginning to crush on me tooâ
Deanna frowned âStefan isnât crushing on youâ
âI donât care okay?â Hilda seethed, rolling her eyes âNow letâs get back to workâ
Clas-s was going on but Damonâs gaze was outside on the field.
âWhat are you staring at?â Courtney asked Damon in a whisper
âWhat do you want?â Damon asked back, not taking his eyes off the field
âWeâre supposed to be a team Cipher
âVivienne concentrated on the clas-s and leave me aloneâ Damon snarled. This time turning to give her a glare
âCourtney and Damon?!â The teacher called from the front of the clas-s âStand up!â
Damon sh0t Courtney a glare as he packed up his books and stood up to his feet.
âYoung lady, I canât help but notice that your grade in this clas-s isnât what it should beâ The teacher scolded Courtney
âAm not as dumb as you thinkâ Courtney retorted
âAlright then.. Tell me, whatâs the shape of a cone?â The teacher asked
Courtney thought for a while but nothing was coming into her head.
âSay somethingâ Damon urged Cortney
âI donât know the answerâ Courtney blurted out and the clas-s roared in laughter
âGood. Now the both of you.. Leave my clas-sâ
Damon sighed then packed up his books and walked out first
âHey! Damon am sorryâ Courtney called, going after Damon who was walking ahead. Damon ignored her and increa-sed his pace.
âDamon am truly sorry.. Youâve got to forgive meâ
âJust stay away from meâ Damon hurled and walked off and Courtney st©pped at her track. She didnât follow him again as she stood transfixed staring at Damon.
Damon walked to his locker and kept his books in the locker. He proceeded to walk out when he saw Deanna standing behind him.
He said nothing as he just watched her, waiting for her to move.
âArenât you going to move?â Damon asked impatiently
âYouâre.. Stepping on my mopâ Deanna stammered
Damon looked down at his feet and realised he was really stepping on her mop.
âYou put it un-der my feetâ he said and moved his leg âCan I go now?â
Deanna smiled wi-dely âSureâ
Damon looked at her suspiciously and started walking out. âWhy are you staring at me that way?â he st©pped and asked when Deanna wouldnât st©p smiling at him
âNothingâ Deanna shrugged and walked out
âCrazyâ Damon chuckled and also walked out
FEW HOURS LATER
âWeâre done for the dayâ Hilda said, cleaning the last piece of furniture in the boiling room
âItâs a good thing we fished on time. Iâve got somewhere to goâ Deanna said
Hilda dropped her towel and sat on a chair âThereâs a show tonight. Wanna come?â
âIâve got a re job and Iâll be starting today. I donât think I can make itâ Deanna said
âBut Iâve alre-ady gotten our ticketsâ Hilda drawled
âAm so sorry Hilda. You should have informed me earlierâ
âI had no idea youâd be busy tonight.. I wanted it to be like a surpriseâ
âAm sorryâ
âBut itâs a late night p@rty. Youâll be done working by thenâ
âWhatâs the time for the show?â
â10pmâ
Deanna thought for a while and said âIâll try to make it but am not promising you. Moira is sick and Vickie nee-ds me at homeâ
âI un-derstandâ Hilda said with a grin
âSo Iâll call you if am chanced at 10â
âHow about I come help you out in your new job?â
Deanna smiled âThanks but thatâs not possible andâŠ.â
The bell started ringing, interrupting Deanna.
âFinallyâ Hilda breathed out and they rushed to the janitorâs office giggling.
They signed out and hurried to the gate.
âWeâll go our separate ways from hereâ Hilda said when they got to the gate
âAlright then.. See ya tomorrowâ Hilda waved at Deanna and proceeded to leave. She had taken few steps when she st©pped and whirled around to face Deanna.
âDonât tell me youâre going with Stefanâ
Deanna rolled her eyes âIâll just bid him goodbye and leave.. Thatâs allâ
âOh!â Hilda mouthed but she didnât appear really convinced. She turned and continued walking out
âBoo!â
âAgghhh!!!â Deanna shouted and made to run but someone gr@bbÂŁd her arm
âHey! Calm down! Itâs me Stefanâ
âStefan?!â Stefanâs pulse calmed and she turned to look at him âYou scared meâ
âAm sorry.. I did it on purposeâ
Deanna faked a frown and sl@pped him on his shoulder.
âAlright am sorryâ Stefan apologized with a broad smile
Deanna turned to the direction Hilda had taken. She was alre-ady out of sight. âI think Hilda likes youâ
Stefan laughed âYou canât really be sureâ
âShe gives me stomach crampsâ
âBut sheâs your friendâ
âI know and I like her butâŠ.â Deanna trailed off and face paled herself
âAw, youâre jealous. Thatâs sweet. You have nothing to worry aboutâ
âI never mentioned about being jealousâ
Stefan threw his head back, laughing âYou look sweet when youâre jealousâ
âStefan am not jealousâ
âLetâs talk about your last statement while you were pushing me outâ
Deannaâs cheeks turned red âAm in a hurryâ she said pretentiously and proceeded to wake out
âI knowâ Stefan gr@bbÂŁd her arm âGive me 2 minutesâ
âWeâll talk tomorrowâ Deanna yanked his hand off and ran away
âIâll be waiting.. Tomorrowâ Stefan shouted. Deanna didnât st©p. She just waved, and continued running.
âThank youâ Deanna paid the cab man who drove her to the presidentâs mansion. A wow escaped herl-ips as she stared at the gigantic gate in front of her. There were a lot of securities guarding the mansion and she couldnât get in
A young lady walked up to Deanna smiled broadly âYouâre Deanna right?â
Deanna nodded a âYesâ
âIâve been waiting outside for youâ The young lady said and took Deannaâs hand âCome on inâ
They got to he first gate and the the securities examined them before letting them pas-s. When they got to the last second gate, they had to go throu-gh a device for the security to be sure they werenât armed. When they got to the last gate, the securities were robots.
The lady who was with Deanna placed her ID card in the robot and the gate opened then they walked in.
âThis is magnificentâ Deanna said admiringly as they entered the compound
âYou havenât even seen anything yet. When i first c@mÂŁ here, I didnât want to ever leave and my prayers got answered. I got employed as a full time maidâ the lady said and laughed
âYou havenât told me your name yetâ
âMy bad!â The lady giggled âAm Onikkaâ
âOnikka?! You must be my aunt Vickieâs friendâ
âNo. Okay maybeâ Onikka giggled âBut am actually your aunt Vickieâs friendâs sister. That makes us friends too right?â
Deanna smiled and said.
There were a lot of buildings in the compound and Onikka led Deanna to one of âem.
âThis is where all the maids livesâ Onikka said, pointing to the two sto-rey building they were heading to
âWow! Itâs really big for just maidsâ
âItâs nothing compared to the presidentâs mansionâ
âWhereâs the mansion?â
âThe one over thereâ Onikka pointed to the tallest and most gigantic building
âSo Stefan lives in thereâ Deanna grinned âItâs like a castleâ
âWhoâs Stefan?â Onikka asked
âThe presidentâs nephewâ
âWow! I havenât seen him beforeâ
âDonât you work in the presidentâs mansion?â
âI do. But the mansion is too big and you got to mind your business that your ba-rely know who comes in nor who goes outâ
âItâs stressful right?â Deanna asked when the got to the building
âNot really. Youâll love it hereâ Onikka said and pressed the door handle down and the door opened.
âCome in.. Mrs Arthur is waitingâ
Deanna stepped in and asked âWhoâs Mrs Arthur?â
âThe head maid. Sheâs in charge of employing maids and as-signing them to duties. But she doesnât really join in the houseworksâ Onikka replied and shut the door.
They took the stairs to Mrs Arthur office. She was sitting behind her desk when they walked in. Onikka had a brief discussion with Mrs Arthur while Deanna watched them.
âYouâll start work as soon as possibleâ Mrs Arthur told Deanna when she finished discussing with Onikka âBut not in the main mansion yetâ
Deanna nodded
âI thought sheâll be replacing Esther in main buildingâ That was Onikka
âNot until the first lady comesâ Mrs Arthur replied and added âGet her a clean uniform from the lockerâ
Onikka nodded and walked out
FEW HOURS LATER
6:16 PM
âThe first lady is comingâ Onikka announced and all the maid arrayed themselves in two straight files, facing each other. They were 56 in number. Mrs Arthur cl@pped her hand immediately Suzanne walked in and all the maids greeted in unison.
Suzanne nodded in reply and examined all the maids.
âWhoâs the new maid?â she asked
âMeâ Deanna replied from the end of the file
Suzanne walked up to her and frowned âA nerdâ she looked at Mrs Arthur âWho employed her?â
âI didâ Mrs Arthur replied âSheâs competent and also working as a cleaner in Sparkles High Schoolâ
âA nerdâ she looked at Mrs Arthur âWho employed her?â
âI didâ Ănikka replied âsheâs competent and she works as a cleaner in Sparkles Highâ
âThen if sheâs going to work here then sheâs going to nee-d am make overâ Suzanne titled Deannaâs head up with her index f!nger âDamon hates nerd and I wouldnât want him screaming round the whole houseâ she added and took of Deannaâs goggles âDonât ever wear this to workâ
Deanna nodded
Suzanne smiled and turned to Mrs Arthur âTake her to the make up artisteâ
Minutes later, the make up artiste finished giving Deanna a make over. Deanna couldnât even recognize herself. She wasnât wearing her glas-ses and she was wearing a wig with her face painted.
âThis canât be Deannaâ Deanna said staring at her reflection in the mirror
âNo one should know youâre Deanna who works in Sparkles High. I donât want Damon to leave the houseâ Suzanne warned âAs long as you work here, youâre Bonnie, and Damonâs personal maidâ
âWhat?â all the maids, including Deanna g@sped
âyou heard me rightâ Suzanne stated âyour work starts now.. Damon is back from school alre-adyâ
