Chapter 8
"Son of a bitch" I grunt jumping slightly smacking my head on the pipe under the sink.
Hearing Angie cackling I grumble before finally getting it off "you broke it" she taunts.
"It's cracked from age Ang, now what do you want?" I ask getting up.
"Donna finished the clothes"
Nodding I wipe my hands tossing my rag on the sink "after I fix this no more sticking things down it, I'm putting a guard on it so you can't".
"Is that a challenge" Angie shouts following me to my room.
"Think what you want, I'll start beating your ass for it brat" I counter while shutting my door to change.
I quickly change while ignoring Angie's argument before yanking the door open, reaching to grab her she takes off cackling as I chase her down the stairs.
"Angie abuse" she yells ducking behind Donna.
"Fine stay here, I'll take someone else out to deliver this" I snark.
"You wouldn't" she screams.
"Get over here you demonic brat or I'm leaving you"
Feeling her settle on my shoulder I reach over taking the box from Donna "we'll be back soon and I'll make lunch" I tell her.
Seeing her nod I head out quickly crossing the bridge I've replaced "stop moving around Angie" I growl feeling her move to stand on my shoulders blocking my view with her dress, "I'll direct you" she snarks tugging my hair on the left slightly.
Huffing I reach up with one hand pushing her dress back so I can see "you're a menace and a pain in my ass" I mutter.
"You love me" she screeches near my ear.
"Keep causing a scene, are you trying to embarrass or make Lady Beneviento look bad"
Feeling her stop moving before sitting down I sigh glancing at her as we reach the orphanage.
Once the door opens I smile "Ms. Sarah, I brought clothes for the kids" I greet.
Seeing her eyes widen at Angie I motion to her "I started working for Lady Beneviento and she helped with these, she also requested that you let her know when the children need more" I add while Angie holds out the note.
"How much?" She asks nervously.
"It's a donation" Angie blurts out while floating above us looking in the door "Angie get down here and stop being rude" I hiss.
"You're no fun, Donna would let me do it" she grumbles.
"She would not, I know you're expected to listen and behave for her too" I grumble while taking the box in.
"Are you settling in permanently?" Ms. Sarah asks nervously as Angie gets into the box pulling clothes out tossing them to kids.
"I'm not sure, I've never stayed anywhere longer then 10 years before I move, but who knows" I answer while catching Angie.
"I have to go I'm supposed to hurry back to cook lunch" I finally say seeing her looking at Angie confused.
Walking out I get halfway through the village center before I hear my name "oh this will be fun" I mutter narrowing my eyes at Angie.
"Where have you been I was getting worried about you?"
Turning I smile at Luisa seeing her pale at Angie "I got a job working for Lady Beneviento, I was running an errand for her" I answer.
"You got a job with her?"
"Yes, I was getting worried about how'd I pay for anything I needed and well after you left my offering, later I ran into her only to be offered a job"
"Oh, that's great news" she says nervously.
"Yeah, her and Angie have been wonderful I'm not really treated like a maid it's more like a roommate or something" I add.
"When's your next day off?"
"Saturday and Sunday, but on Saturday I relax while having cooking lessons and being taught more about The Black God, Mother Miranda, and the other Lords"
"You're learning to cook?" She asks frowning.
"Yeah, I'm terrible, after my first try Lady Beneviento informed me I would have to take lessons because cooking is important to know" I answer blushing and rubbing my neck playing like I'm embarrassed after seeing Angie looking at me, I could feel the nervous and embarrassed energy rolling off her without her being able to use facial expression.
"Oh that's nice of her, I'll let you go so you're not late" she finally says.
"Yeah thanks, I'll see you Sunday after church if you're not busy" I respond before walking away.
Reaching the bridge I glance at Angie seeing her watching me "what?" I ask slightly unnerved at her stare.
"You said Donna's teaching you" she responds tilting her head.
"Donna's a proud but sensitive woman, all three of us know she needs help cooking but I'd never tell anyone that, they can believe I'm an outsider that she's taken in to teach I'm fine with it"
Opening the door I hear Angie hum before taking off to do whatever she does when not with Donna or being a menace "Donna, we're back I need to finish the sink then we can make pizza" I call.
Hearing buzzing I yelp feeling someone slam into me, raising my brow I look slightly down at the dark haired girl with a cloak on snarling at me holding a sickle to my throat.
"Child, I'm going to ask you nicely to remove your weapon and step out of my personal space, I spent a lot of time fixing this house and if I mess it up, you will have to explain to Donna why you attacked me"
"te vei întoarce cu mine la castel sau te voi forța" she snarls.
Frowning I think over it like I'm working out what she said, seeing her getting mad I lift a finger "hold on I'm working on what you said" I say completely unfazed.
"Cassandra" I hear Angie screech.
Looking ahead of me I see Donna and Angie "I think she said, she has to go to the doctor because she wants to slap me".
Seeing the girl turn looking at me in disbelief I shrug smiling at her "I said, you will return with me to the castle or I will force you" she snaps.
"Just incriminate yourself, damn I gave you the perfect way to explain away this without upsetting Lady Beneviento, yet you tell on yourself" I say rolling my eyes while leaning on the wall.
"What are you doing here?" Angie demands.
"I need to call Mom for the carriage, it's getting to cold and my cloak won't work much longer in it" she grunts glaring at me.
"Leave our maid alone" Angie finally snaps before Donna walks away.
