Maid survey

Chapter 3

Aspen's POV

                   How many bones would I break it I jumped out of a speeding carriage, probably won't survive it, would I even make it to the door and manage to open if, pfft, as if, can i make a run for it when we reach wherever they are taking me, ha, fat chance. It has been half an hour, I think, since I'm the only one here who doesn't have a watch and not comfortable in asking what time is it, I have been thinking of a way to get away from them but no avail, and they know where I live and the people I provide, not like I have anywhere to go, but I don't want to sit here and do nothing, there must be some way, but no matter how I think of it no scenario ends up good, either I end up dead or hurt badly

I put my head in my hands in frustration "give up already, watching you thinking hard, focusing on whatever is being cooked up in your head right now, with that cute little pout was funny, mostly because whatever you are planning will fail miserably" the thoughts in my head instantly shifted from 101 way to escape to 101 way to kill Eros 

But sadly I have to back to planning an escape, there must be a way, I try to focus again only to be cut by the man I pickpocket and what seems like his best friend, they were arguing again, didn't they have their fair share of screaming at wash other's faces this afternoon, they are truly annoying. No one but me seemed to be bothered, I'm pushed to the side of the carriage next to the window, and opposite to the door, on my right is no other Eros,who is acting like he can't even hear their argument, across is the silent man, whose gaze is fixed out of the window ignoring everyone else

Since he seem the reasonable one, even though he is a criminal, I followed his example and looked out of the window maybe something we will pass can be useful, but ignoring the shouting and fuel insults as they get louder is impossible, how is Eros and the silent lad is doing it is beyond me.

"Hey, guys guys ... GUYS!!" I shouted to gain their attention but failed miserably, they were sitting across each other and engrossed in their heated argument

Suddenly Eros hit the one beside him on the back of his head, hard might I add "shut it idiots, don't you see the lady is trying to speak"

"Amm thanks, now umm ... Don't want to seem rude but may I ask on what got you agitated that much"

"Can't you tell! That skank has eaten the dessert I saved yesterday" he said pointing an accusing fingers in his friend's direction

"Well, you didn't eat it, you don't want it, it was going to rotten then next day anyway, I saved it"

"What has gone rotten is your brain if you have any left since you early use it, we are in the damn winter it's freezing how exactly was it going to went off, in a weather like that"

"The more it stay in the air the dryer it gets and it's taste fade you weren't going to eat it anyway"

I placed my thumb and forefinger on the bridge of my nose, THOSE. ARE. CRIMINALS. When you say the word criminal you imagine all the vile things, but I'm not sure anymore. I felt the body of certain someone get near to me, his mouth stop inches from my ear "you will get used to their bickering, soon enough they do that almost any moment they are free, soon you will be able to ignore them like me and Eugene when you stay long enough" so the silent lad is Eugene

"Ahh, thanks for the information but get away from me" and I will not stay long enough

I heard him chuckle, but didn't get away "AND you will stay long enough" okay I'm sure I didn't say the last part out loud "don't know why but I felt you mocking me in that pretty little head of yours when I said stay long enough so I had make my point clear, how you read people that easy will help us greatly and in return you will get some good money"

"What make you think I will help you, even if you locked me up I can simply keep my lips tight, you won't get anything from me"

"Yet you still need money to live and help those how you help for whatever reason you got, and of course you need a safer place to stay, that house you live in, doesn't seem to hold up so far"

"Still doesn't give you the right to kidnap me"

"When life give you a chance take it, I saved you a later regret by agreeing to this on your behave, it's way better than what you have now, you will thank me later" I now understand why they say hanging around criminals make you a one, Eros made me think about killing him twice in the last 5 minutes only

"How long till we arrive at your destination anyway"

"Let me see" he fished his pocket watch still leaning on me "about half an hour"

"What!! How far do you live from here"

"Very far, near the outskirts of the forest, but it's beautiful there"

"Hell, you just say I need a safe place to stay, how is THAT a safe place surrounded by wild animals!"

"Don't worry, if something happened you can always run to my arms" he sent a wink in my direction

"Eww, no way"

"Tsh, whatever you say dear"

He finally shuted up and after torturous 30 minutes of two idiots almost fighting and a p*****t leaning on me, the carriage stopped, I have never been so thankful

We got down and walked a little to a big lovely cottage standing alone in the night, he was right, the place is beautiful, we walked to it and they opened the securely closed door, don't want to admit it but I'm excited to see how it looks from inside, finally the door opened and I peaked from behind the boys to look inside

THE HELL, DID A STORM HAPPEN HERE, the place is a mess and very dirty if I may add, dust covering the corners dirty dishes filling the sink, clothes laying here and there, all got in expect me and Eugene who stood outside a little bit

"This is the price you pay for living with the guys so suck it up and get it, c'mon it's freezing out here" I heard Eugene murmur, though it look like he is talking to me, if feels like he is talking to himself

Then his eyes met mine, we seem to understand each other's misery "the last cleaner we got didn't even last a month, they don't stay long saying that we are unorganized animals, we eventually lost hope" he said, this time it's for me

I looked inside again to the junkyard they are living in, pity fell me as I think of the poor man beside me have been suffering so long, I then squared my shoulders and got it, him behind me

"You finally got it, I thought you will be camping outside Tonight" I rolled my eyes at Eros, the man need a hit on head so hard. He dragged me again for the 10000000th time today, to the couch "so Aspen, tell us about yourself"
