Earlier the next morning
I woke up to loud banging on the metal basement door. Jumping out of the bed,
The door opens up. Mr Wilson standing there, "It stinks down here, clean yourself up I'll be back down in five minutes to come collect you for your morning chores."
Mr Wilson locked the basement door back up and head up stairs.
I grabbed a roll of toilet paper and a garage bag picked up my dogs poo placing it in the bag added a little bit of body wash on the pee and poo and tipped a little bit of water from the shower bucket and gave it a mop.
I grabbed a face wash from the box and put it in the bucket of water and gave my face a wash.
Banging and rattling coming from outside the basement door from whom is unlocking the door.
Mr Wilson standing at the door
"Come on"
"I'll be back" I said talking to Timber heading out the door. Mr Wilson closed the door but didn't lock it.
Head upstairs to the kitchen.
"The girls need breakfast prepared before they wake up and dark hot coffee with two sugar made and left on Mrs Wilson balcony coffee table make sure you don't wake her and make it after the kids food so it stay boil hot for longer and when your done that you'll need to clean and tidy the kitchen and head back down stairs."
"Will I be able to have a feed?"
"No, if the kids leave you left over then you can eat."
"Okay"
"Would you like anything for breakfast, sir."
"No I'm fine, Get to work. The kids will be awake soon."
"Everything you need is in there" Mr Wilson said pointing to the wall in the kitchen cabinet.
Entering into the cabinet it was perfectly organised. It had it all.
Grabbing the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Placing it on the kitchen bench I grabbed a bowl, the electric whisk and pan out of the cabinet. Pre heat the pan with butter. Adding all the ingredients to the bowl, I used the electric whisk and stirred until it was fluffy. Pour a few medium amounts of mixture around the pan making pancakes. While that began to cook I gave the kitchen bench a tidy up place all the dirty utensils on one side of the sink preparing for a clean.
Quickly getting a plate out of the kitchen cabinet.
I flipped and removed the done pancakes placing them onto the plate and adding more mixture to the pan.
I wipe down the kitchen bench.
Heading into the kitchen cabinet I grabbed a sharp knife, a chopping board placing them out on the kitchen bench.
Flipping and removing the pancakes adding that final batch of mixture into the pan.
I went back into the cabinet and walked over to the fridge to put strawberries, blueberries, bananas and cream.
Back at the kitchen bench I placed the items down. I removed the final batch of pancakes out of the pan. I turned off the stove and placed the hot pan up the back.
I grabbed the chopping board and began cutting the fruit. I had to give the electric whisk a clean before I could use it to make the cream nice and fluffy and add a little bit of brown sugar to make it nice and sweet.
Grabbing two plates out of the kitchen cabinet I placed them down on the kitchen bench and prepared the plates adding four pancakes to both plates and a big pile of cream top with fruit.
Turning on the kettle for Mrs Wilson's coffee.
I headed to the kitchen cabinet grabbing down two glasses and a coffee mug. I filled the two glasses up with cold orange juice from out of the fridge and placed them on the table alongside the two plates with a knife and a fork on both side.
Back in the kitchen I grab the coffee mug out of the cabinet and place it on the bench in front of the kettle. Adding coffee and two sugar waiting for the hot water I started doing the dishes.
A few minutes later the kettle finish and I poured in the water taking Mrs Wilson coffee to her balcony.
Back downstairs at the kitchen I continue to clean the dishes wash, wiping and putting away.
Eva and Sophie wake up.
"Mmm, Something smells great." Sophie said walking towards the table
"And It looks delicious." Sophie said shocked as she sat down at the table to eat.
"Wow, thank you. Emily." Eva said cheerful jumping into her seat.
"You're welcome, Hope you both enjoy. I need get back to clean."
Exiting the dinning room and entering back into the kitchen I could hear Sophie asked me a question from the distance.
"Wow these are really good, where did you learn to cook pancakes like that?"
"My mum." I replied before heading back to cleaning.
In the distance I could hear Eva and Sophie laughing.
"Daddy, you have to try these pancakes Emily made us."
"Nah, Sweetie I'm good. I gotta head to work."
"Please daddy, just one bite. you won't regret it."
"okay okay, cut me a slice."
"It's alright."
"It doesn't change things."
"We spoke about this before she came."
"Why, does it have to be like that. She seems nice?" Eva said
"People like her only take from people like us."
Hearing them words made a lot of things make sense.
Mr Wilson entered the kitchen.
"Wonderful cleaning and the kids loved there breakfast so you can now have that plate and go down stairs. I have to take the kids to school and head off to work. Maid Karen will be around at eleven she will have a list of chores. Get them done or Else."
"A threat" I thought to myself.
Grabbing the plate of the bench I followed Mr Wilson downstairs to the basement.
"When Maid Karen comes and lets you out to do chores empty you buckets out in the toilet and refill your shower and water bucket."
"Maid Karen will give you a work schedule with the list of chores you will have to do daily and the times when the should be done."
"Maid Karen will be here daily to help you in and out of your room."
"Okay" I said placing the plate on the bench.
Mr Wilson shut and locked the basement door behind him and headed back up stairs.
A few minutes later, Mr Wilson rushed back down stairs opening the door.
"I need you to make the girls school lunch. Quickly." grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the stairs.
Catching my feet, " I will be back in a second" I said as Mr Wilson shut the door.
Mr Wilson pulled me up stairs and into the kitchen by my arm.
"Girls, what do you want for lunch at school?"
"Something good, healthy. Worth bitting."
"Um, A salad. A wrap." I asked
"For one don't so um, to me."
"Salads are for peasants."
"A wrap might be good." Sophie replied
"A chicken wrap will be fine. Thank you Emily." Eva said gratefully
Entering into the kitchen cabinet. I grab out the ingredients I need to make the girls school lunch.
Heading back into the kitchen place the ingredients on the kitchen bench. I began making Sophie and Eva a chicken wrap each. Adding a couple snacks to their lunch boxes, fruit and a bottle of cold water.
Placing there lunch box in there bags. I handed them there bags.
"Thank you, Emily" Eva said
"Come on. Down stairs." Mr Wilson said
Walking down the stairs. Timber barked.
"I don't want to be hearing barking at my house. I'm a working man and I don't have to be dealing with that." Mr Wilson said annoyed
Entering into the basement.
"The maid will be here shortly. Don't think you can do anything without be watched. There are cameras all over my property."
Mr Wilson locked the basement door behind him.
Mr Wilson rushed up the stair into the kitchen grabbing the car keys of the kitchen bench.
"Come on girls. Hurry up. Get in the car." Mr Wilson said rushing out the front.
Down in the basement sitting on the old rusty bed eating my cold pancakes with Timber.
Stomping and banging from upstairs as the girls and Mr Wilson rush out the door.
Two minutes later...
Not a sounds.
Nothing.
Just the sound of my own breath.
It was quite strange.
Finishing my pancakes, I gave the plate a wipe and sat in back on the clothes cabinet.
Filling up a bottle of water out of the cold water system. I filled Timber bowl with some water and had a drink myself.
Sitting back down on bed. I grabbed my bag of the ground in the corner inbetween the bed and cabinet. placing the bag on my lap I grabbed out my art book. Opening up my book I began flipping through the pages looking at all beautiful portraits and sketchers. opening up to a new empty page I began to sketch what I felt and what I saw. looking at the aftermath it wasn't like my other artworks it was dark.
I played a little game of chase and hide and seek with Timber using the beams to hide behind.
Getting Timber and I another drink of water from the cold water tank. I could hear loud stomping coming from inside the house.
Timber barked hearing the stomping.
"No, boy. Stomp."
Timber stopped barking.
The stomping got louder and closer. Big loud rattling coming from the basement door as the locks get taken off. The door swung open and maid Karen rushed in towards me before I couldn't protect myself. She swung whipped me around my back, ribs and chest dropping me to the ground I curled up into a ball and received multiple whips over my back with a belt.
"Get up" maid Karen said pulling me up by my hair
Timber growled at maid Karen.
"Pull him up or he will be whipping too."
"Boy." I said then signed him two go s**t and wait for the right time.
Timber went and sat at the end of the bed. I got dragged up by my hair into the guest bathroom the maid started grabbing the cleaning products out of the cupboard and throw them at me.
"Clean and Do a good job." You have three more to do plus the list Mr. Wilson gave me for you."
"Hurry, hurry. No time to waste."
"I'll be back. Get to work"
The maid exists the bathroom and head upstairs two Mrs Wilson work office.
"Knock knock, Mrs Wilson."
"Would you like an appetizer or a coffee?"
"yes, indeed."
Exists the office heading back to the bathroom.
" Get up, Mrs Wilson want and snack and a dark coffee."
"Your making it."
"I got to still clean the bathroom."
"That's your problem. Not mine."
"Now hurry up. Wash your hand and get to the kitchen."
Washing my hands and I head down into the kitchen began making make Mrs Wilson a healthy snack meal and her dark coffee.
"Get back bathroom cleaning."
"Don't I have to give it to her."
"No, I can do that for you."
"okay."
I cleaned and tidy the kitchen, I headed back up stairs to clean the bathroom. I finally finished all four bathrooms just as maid Karen enters "look like good, thank you Mr Wilson will be pleased with my cleaning."
" Now come on, you have more work to do." Pulling me over towards the broom closet near the stairs.
" Here is your list."
"That's all in there."
"Enjoy."
Looking at the list and reading it in my head.
"Dusting, Mopping and Vacuuming."
"Making dinner and cleaning the kitchen afterwards."
Finishing up the last of my chores. Dinner was prepared and plates for the family.
The family sat down at the table Maid Karen taken the plates out and placing them in front of the family.
"You have wonderful job today, Maid Karen." Mrs Wilson said politely
" Well Thank you, Mrs Wilson. It wasn't easy doing my chores and making sure Miss Emily did her right as you see over there she has missed a bit of dust on the ground.
"Well, yes she did."
"Thank you for pointing that out."
Mr Wilson go off his seat a stormed into the kitchen.
" What that mess you left on my floor."
" Pardon, Mr Wilson."
"Don't act stupid." Mr Wilson said hitting me
"The dust on the ground you left behind."
"Go clean it now and get down stairs." Mr Wilson hitting me another two times before pushing me towards the dinning room.
Maid Karen took all of the credit for the cleaning of the bathrooms and Mrs Wilson lunch. I got hit around for not doing a good enough job for there likely as a tiny bit of dust was left on the ground.
After cleaning I was dragged downstairs by Mr Wilson.
Tired from a long day cleaning I layed down in bed a crash out straight away.
