Chapter 5 Bully

Her breathing was heavy as she couldn't stop herself but to burst out. The thunder was still roaring outside and the people in front of her were shrieking like a pig. Amelia let out a heavy sigh and calmed herself down. She can't let these people get into her nerves or else she'll get discovered. And that's the last thing she wants. It's better if she just leaves for now since they won't calm down.

Amelia took a deep breath and hugged herself before making her way back to her room. Her heart was pounding nervously. She absentmindedly uses her power and what's worse is that it lasts for how many minutes until now. She's afraid that someone might notice it and find it strange. Her hands squeezed into fist and calmed herself again since she's getting anxious about what happened.

It's okay, no one noticed.

Amelia thought to herself before running to her room. She ignored the maids' gazes and rushed towards her room. When she finally got there, she couldn't help but sit on the cold floor. She went overboard earlier just because of their provocation. It was dangerous. If she didn't stop herself minutes after she used her magic, she would be caught right now. What happened earlier only proves that the people who're working here don't like her. She's sure what happened earlier will happen in the future too. It looks like she pissed the head maid when she ran away.

Amelia shrugged her shoulders and went to bed again. Her nice sleep was disturb by some random shits out here. It would be bad if she takes revenge on them. Amelia sighed and closed her eyes once again. Hoping that this time, they won't come into her room and knock as if there is no tomorrow. If they did, who knows what she's going to do with them.

Morning came and Amelia just wanted to rewind the time. Her sleep was only five hours! She thought she'd be able to sleep a little longer, but then another maid knocked on her door around one in the morning, but this time it wasn't that loud. Though that maid who woke her was so cold and her voice was monotone, Amelia still preferred her over that bitch who doesn't know how to knock properly.

Amelia lifted her hand and covered her mouth to stop herself from yawning. It's already ten in the morning yet she's still feeling sleepy. She saw the head maid today and luckily, she doesn't have the time to talk to her since she's very busy. All the maids are busy too. Good thing there are still maids who told her what to do even though it's obvious that they don't like her. Amelia doesn't know at all why they hate her but she doesn't have any interest in knowing their reason. She's here not to make friends but to live according to her Grandmother's will.

"Here, please bring this outside," one of the maids uttered in a cold tone before giving her a basket with flowers and some gardening tools. Amelia's teeth clenched tightly. It's her first day today and she wasn't assigned to this kind of job.

"But isn't this work for the gar–"

"Why are you saying something? It's your first day and now you're talking back?" the woman hissed and shoved the basket to her small body that made her almost stumble. Amelia gripped the side of the basket and calmed herself. She was about to say something when her eyes went to the other side of the room. Amelia can feel her blood starting to boil when she saw the head maid, together with that woman last night and some other maids murmuring something while looking at her with a sinister smile.

Amelia bit her lips as her grip on the side of the basket tightened. She can feel herself slowly getting annoyed because of this. She took in a deep breath and lowered her head.

"Alright," she muttered in a cold tone and looked away. She turned her back and began walking. Amelia can hear their mocking laugh but she just ignored them. Nothing good will happen if she'll fight them back. It's her first day and she should do well. Falling to their traps won't do her any good.

Amelia shrugged her shoulders and went outside. Honestly, no one toured her around the massive mansion. Even though that man who guided her yesterday told her that someone is going to tour her. She waited but no one came. Thanks to the spell she learned in her Grandmother's book, she was able to learn every spot in the mansion.

After how many minutes of walking, she finally arrived at the garden at the back of the mansion. She slowly put down the tools and examined the whole area. AIt was a massive garden with different species of flowers and plants. There's a large fountain in the middle and some sculptures of an elegant werewolf that seems like the first alpha king she once saw in the book. There's also a hefty greenhouse on the left side and a small lake on the other side. The garden was hundred times larger than her Grandmother's.

While staring at the spectacular scenario, she couldn't help but remember her Grandmother again. She's wondering if her Grandmother also took care of this garden? She can see resemblance to her Grandmother's yard.

Amelia sighed. She pressed her hands to her cheeks and shook her head. She began looking for spots where she can plant these plants. When she finally found a nice location, she began planting the plants. After how many minutes, Amelia stood up and looked at the plants happily. Finally, after how many minutes or maybe an hour. She's finally finish–

Amelia's whole body froze when she heard a laugh behind her. Amelia quickly turned around and found four maids laughing at her. Her forehead furrowed a bit because of confusion. She was about to say something when she noticed the plants she planted earlier were being dug out. Amelia can feel her whole body starting to get cold as the familiar feeling that she once felt when her will to bring an end to those who killed her Grandmother conquered her existence.

"Oops! I didn't notice there was a flower being planted here," the woman in the middle muttered sarcastically. They were sneering while staring at her as if she's dumb.

"Yeah! I'm sorry too," one of the maids also added while stepping all the plants she planted. Amelia can feel her sanity slowly leaving her body because of what they did. She bawled her fists and was about to cast spells when she heard a presence slowly coming in their distance.

Amelia bit her lips before slamming herself into the ground that made the maids flinch because of her actions. They watched her with confusion in their eyes but she just ignored them. Tears started to form in her eyes that made the maids even more confused.

"Hey! What the heck are–"

"What's happening here?"

Amelia can feel the atmosphere become heavy because of the person who just came in the picture. His voice was cold and there's a hint of authority and power while saying those words. Amelia swallowed and looked at the alpha king pitifully whom she didn't notice that was already staring at her with a frown face. Amelia bit her lips and looked at the maids whose eyes are wide as their foreheads.
