The Maids’ blood

Monica stared at the huge 4 storey high house while being flabbergasted. This house looks like a castle she thought quietly. Monica wants to apply for a maid’s job at this house. She saw an advertisement in the newspaper that maids were wanted here and they would be pay at least a thousand per month. Monica wants to see if it’s mtrue and she came all the way from another town just to get this job. Monica rang the bell of the house and waited for the owner to come. The door opened and it revealed a beautiful lady.

“Hi, my name is Monica. May I see Ms Isabel, I want to apply for a maids job in this house.” Monica said.

“ Oh hi Monica. I am Ms Isabel. You can call me Ms Bel. Come on in. You are so pretty Monica!” Ms Bel exclaimed.

Monica declined the fact that she was pretty stating that Ms Bel is prettier. Ms Bel introduced herself while showing Monica all the rooms in that house.She is already in her fifties however, she looks so youthful. Monica asked her what’s her secret but she said it was a secret that she would know soon. They are going down to the basement when Ms Bel suddenly says,

“ In the past I had a bad temper. When my maids did something wrong, they would be caned very badly, but don’t worry Monica I don’t cane my maids anymore.”

Monica tensed face turned into relief. When they reached the basement, Ms Bel told Monica that her room is there. Monica was surprised that she was hired very quickly. She felt thankful. As she was entering the room, a strong stench reached her nose. She asked Ms Bel,

“Ms Bel, what’s that smell it’s so smelly.”

Ms Bel smiled at her mysteriously while she shoved Monica inside the room. She started talking,

“ That’s not the end of my story, while caning my maid, her blood flew on my face. While wiping the blood away, I noticed that my face was more smooth and it looks youthful. Every women would want to look youthful. So from that day onwards I believed that if I apply a young women’s blood on my skin I would look prettier. Since there is no more pretty women in my town, I decide to look for women in another town.”

Monica was so scared. In the room there is a lot of torturing tools. She backed away until the corner at the back of the room. Ms Bel grinned and told her,

“ After I apply your blood on my skin, you will also be part of me so it’s a good thing.”

She laughed wickedly.

THE END.
