96 The Beginning Of (1/2)
Olivia woke up the next day with an achy body.She barely slept, afraid that Agni would break down the door looking to finish her off.She hauled herself out of the bath tub and stretched out her back and arms.She unlocked the bathroom door and opened just a small crack so she could peek into her room.The mutilated cat was still on her bed and the comforter on the floor but there was no other disturbance in the room.
With a huge sigh of relief she stepped out of the bathroom and walked to her closet.Nothing was inside, she walked over to her dresser and only found pj's and a couple of pairs of underwear and bras.She threw the comforter over the cat's remains and then pulled the blanket off the mattress before she balled everything together.
She opened the door and hauled the blankets out.She dragged the blankets down the stairs and into the foyer.She left the bundle there and walked over to the kitchen, the blood was dry but the sensation of touching a crusted blanket was disturbing so she needed to wash them.Olivia thought it odd that she didn't smell breakfast cooking or run into any of the morning staff but quickly brushed it off as it was Monday and people were still grieving the lose of their loved ones.
After she dried her hands she looked over at the wall where the house phone hung.She walked over to it and placed the phone to her ear and heard nothing, there was no dial tone just silence.She felt defeated, she placed her head against the wall and regretted for being hopeful for just a second.She should have known that Agni would have disconnected the lines and sighed before she hung the phone back on the hanger.
She pealed herself off the wall, left the kitchen and made her way towards the dinning room as she walked in a plate came flying towards her and hit the wall.She flinched to the left to avoid the flying bits of the plate.Olivia gulped and looked up and saw the three women sitting at the dinning room table.
Loreley was sitting to the right of Agni, her face was still swollen but she was preoccupied with the empty plate in front of her.While Laila looked fine but pale and sat to the left of Agni, copying Loreley and looked at her own empty plate.Agni propped her head up with her hand, elbow on the table, hair framing her tiny face while she wore a big smile.
”Good morning my little Livy bear did you sleep well?” Agni asked sweetly.Olivia stood tall and was carefully avoiding the pieces of the broken ceramic on the floor while she started to step forward.She was only able to take a few steps before Agni threw a tea cup at her face.She barely reacted in time and ducked soon she heard the tea cup smash onto the floor behind her.
”Honey what are you doing coming to the table dressed like that?!” Agni exclaimed with innocence.”I'm sorry?” Olivia questioned as she raised her body from the ground.”Did you see anyone else in the house when you made your way down?” she said in a mocking tone.Olivia looked at Agni completely confused.Agni grabbed Loreley's glass and raised it over her head ready to throw it any second.
”No I didn't see anyone here but I am not sure what you're trying to get at moth-ah!” Olivia couldn't finish her sentence as Agni threw the glass cup towards her feet.”YOU WILL CALL ME MADAM!” she shrieked hysterically.Olivia gulped as she watched Agni heavily breathe as she stood up from her chair and clutched the table top.
”Madam.” Olivia corrected herself.The word seemed to defuse Agni's rage and she started to smooth out her dress and tossed her hair back before she sat back down into her chair.”You will find your new uniform in the first floor guest room-oh silly me!I mean your new room! Get changed and get breakfast started, once that is done I want you to promptly clean up this mess I don't want to step on any glass shards and injure myself.”Agni said sweetly before shoeing her away.
Olivia couldn't avoid the glass as it was now everywhere, she started to gingerly push the shards aside with her foot.”NOW OLIVIA!We need to eat now!” she shouted.Olivia gulped and hoped that if she rushed over the shards with socks on it wouldn't cut too deeply into the soles of her feet.As soon as Olivia stepped out into the hallway she ripped off her socks to inspect the soles of her feet.
She sighed in relief as the cuts we're not too deep she quickly ran to the first-floor guest room that was located behind the kitchen.The guest room hadn't been used for years and she was surprised that it had already been cleaned and there were only one medium sized window.It was only furnished with a small end table, with a tiny lamp on top of it, a twin sized bed and a maid uniform laid over top a four drawer dresser.
As she picked up the black and white colored French maid outfit she heard a small 'ting' hit the floor.She bent over, picked up a black laced collar with a cat bell attached to it.she looked at it quizzically and then just tossed it onto the bed she then turned her attention back to the maid outfit.
