My hand traced on the bed , until they met a fur ball. The kitten purred after receiving a scratch behind it’s ear. Never would have I imagined that in my whole life would I ever get a pet again.
The kitten laid on its back asking for a scratch on its belly. Realising that I had to get out of bed. I sat on my bed with my bangs that covered most of my face.

When I was young people would tell me that I would grow up to be a beautiful young lady. I wouldn’t deny that cause I mostly took after my mother. But I had those dark brown eyes of my father’s.

I wobbled a little when I got out of the bed , I stood in front of the mirror. An oval shaped face that met with a sharp chin and jawline. The eyes seemed to big for the face and a small nose.

Narcissism? I don’t know but I was beautiful. My mother would always braid my hair and put my favourite hair clips on it. With a frilly frock. She would say I looked like those pretty china dolls.

Maybe she would have done the same if she was still here......... I sighed and turned away from the mirror. I opened the door. The hallway was completely empty. Sylvester had left saying he was going to check on the grave.

That was the only reason I was allowed to stay in bed. My eyes spotted a maid that was rearranging the flowers in the vase. “Hey! You there” I called for her. Her looked sideways until at last her eyes met mine. It looked as if her soul had escaped the body.

She gave a nod and came jogging towards my room. I led her inside. “Y yes m my lady” was I that scary? Maybe cause this was my first time calling a maid in my room. “Can you get something for this kitten to eat something?”

She met my eyes then quickly looked away. “ uhh I could warm some milk and if if you want I I can bathe it.....” oh right the cat needed a bath and check up to vet.

Something crossed my mind. Guess today was not going to be really boring. I grabbed a hoodie and wore it over my pyjamas. I carried the kitten in arms.

The maid looked confused. “Sure lets go”. She stood quiet for a while then she led the way. Every maid or worker left their work to look our way. Were they that surprised?

The maid led me to kitchen. It looked like those kitchens in famous cooking shows. The cook were shocked. “My lady You didn’t have to cone yourself we we could have.” I met there eyes. Shocked? Annoyed? ..........happy? “ it was nothing urgent”.

The maid brought lukewarm milk in a small bowl. I placed the kitten before the bowl. It sniffed for a while then started drinking it. I crouched near it. I could feel all of their stares on me.

“ ahem.....you guys can continue your work” it took them a while but the got back to their work but of course they would glance a bit. The kitten finished the milk , I picked it up. I was cute at how it licking its mouth. “Gasp!” the maid gasped. She looked shocked. “What?” She didn’t answer quickly. “ uh nothing”. I turned to leave.

“Come bathe the kitten in my washroom”. She quickly nodded. I left the kitchen. “ Oh My god did you see ........yeah I saw.........oh my she smiled........her smile is just like madams”. They started talking as soon I left.

Were they angry? Maybe they found me arrogant? What was there to be surprised about? They hated me. I waited a bit in my room when the maid came with some small towels.

She carried the kitten to the washroom. As she washed it you could tell she was quite skilled. As bathing it she softly tried it with the towels. “You are quite skilled at it” she froze again. “ uh I I have taken care of a lot of cats before” you could tell that she was proud of it.

“ your name?” She met my eyes for barely split second then she answered. “M maddie”. I grabbed the kitten. “Then Maddie you have to be my maid from now on cause I will need someone to help me take care of this kitten”

She quickly stood up and gave a bow. “Of course My lady....I will ... a assist you.” She turned to leave. “ M my lady its .....the kitten is a male” after saying that she gave two quick bows and left.

“A male? Then this will help me name you....right?” Now that it was washed you could she it had jet black fur. The kitten licked my fingers. It had been a while since a day when my heart didn’t cause problem for me.
