Here's another chapter and more to come..hehehe..
The Night Shift
The cottage chimney was puffing away. The sisters seemed to be very busy to arrange dinner. Some of them still were playing around near the cottage. A beautiful lady sat to a big rock about five meters from the cottage. She was plucking the petals of a wild daisy that she just picked not far from it and contemplating. Until whatever in her mind broke when someone tapped on her shoulder.
gBetsy!h A young lady who happened to be her younger sister interrupted her silencio hour. She was the youngest among the eleven sisters. Her name was Zaza. She was always a chirpy girl and hated when one of her sister got sad. gWhy are you contemplating like that?h
gIfm not contemplating. Ifm just bored and annoyed with our step bitchy mother. And I got my night shift now. I have to do their nails, pour some aromatherapy bath salt, and some mint balm under their bed. I mean wefre not servant, wefre the owner of that castle.h Betsy sighed.
gItfs your night shift today? I mean itfs like 24 hour emergency room then. Healthy juice at midnight, Massage and back treatment, what else.h Zaza scratched her head.
gPlease stop it. Itfs going to be a long night for me.h She leaned her chin on both of her hands.
gBut Itfs my night shift too.h Zaza wrapped her arms around her shoulder. gIf only we have enough power to retaliate.h She sighed. gAlthough that wefve trained in swords, archery even the self defense martial arts, they seem to be more powerful.h
gItfs that witch bitch.h
gWho?h
gAyu.h
gHer?h
gYeah who else?h
gI thought shefs just one regular bimbo like the others.h
hNo, shefs not. I heard a rumor that she has this secret potion that can enhance your face, lifting all the wrinkles away, make your nose sharper, have bigger eyes, poutty lips and even her current invention, which include breast enhancement, slimmer hips..AAAArrrggh.. I canft remember. Shefs quite powerful.h Betsyfs tone of voice increased indicating her annoyance.
gOk, maybe you should stop mentioning her name because it releases your anger. And, look at the time, we have to be prepared, our shift has come at any moment.h
gAlright, help me to rise.h Betsy stretch her hand to Zaza.
gOops..there you go. Donft worry Betsy, wefre going to kick them out from our castle.h
They heard a call from their other sister, for dinner before their shift come. gBetsy, Zaza, cfmon, dinnerfs ready. Aka and the rest will be joining us later.h called a girl named I Luv.
gWefll be right there in just a moment!h They replied.

Pati lifted two sacks of laundry whilst the other carried by Aka and dropped it near the cottage door. Angel helped them to open the door since she saw both of them were too exhausted.
gHello!!!h
gHi there..let me help you with that.h Another sister rushed to see them and helped to carry the laundry sacks. gOh boy! Itfs very heavy.h
gNow youfre talking Valle.h Aka rest herself on a stool near the fire place as she wiped her sweat. gI think they want to put away those unusable dresses which theyfve worn for only a week. g
gBy the way, we met four gorgeous knights!!!h Angel cried gShow them Aka.h
The rest of the sisters gathered, and Aka began to read the invitation out loud.
gWhoot? A ball party?h cried Hirari in ecstatic. gBut we donft have any clothes to wear.h
gOh yes we do!h Pati took out a dress from the laundry sack.
gHey..yeah..thatfs cool!h
gCan I ask you something?h asked Denden.
gFire away.h Pati replied.
gDo our evil stepmother and her momusu know about this?h
gNot yet. And they must not know, or wefll be in trouble.h warned Angel.
gWhere are Betsy and Zaza?h Aka looked around noticing they were not in the cottage.
gThey just got out. Night shift.h Answered Valle as she blew her hair in between her nose. gPoor them.h She shook her head.
gIfm going to join them for the night shift.h Jewel was tying her apron uniform around her waist and wore her bonnet. gItfs my bad night too. Bye! See you in the morning.h
gTake care!h the sister waived at her as she walked out the door.

The castle was almost quite at night. Only some hushing from afar could be heard by Betsy, Jewel and Zaza. They were in the kitchen preparing the healthy diet juice for Queen Jessica and her annoying cousin Britney Split who recently putting her weight too much.
gDo you know, Ifve heard that Ms. Splitness got dump by her boyfriend who prefer older ladies?h Jewel started a conversation while mixing the juice.
gHow do you know?h Betsy asked back. She put a garlic on the chopping block and started to slice. Her tears started to roll down because of the garlic aroma evaporated from it. gWell?h she sniffed her nose.
gIfve overheard from nakai, the butler.h
gWho?h Zaza turned to ask her.
gNakai? The new butler. You donft know.h Jewel turned around to face them. gHefs new replacing the old one, I forgot his name. Anyhow, he doesnft like those bitches and he knows about us being the eleven sisters who got evicted from this castle and turned into maid.h
gOYY..Chop..Chop..h A man not too tall with long hair and friendly expression arrived in front of them. gBetter hurry!! They donft like to wait you know.h
gOh..sorry!!h Zaza took a tray and Jewel placed six glasses of the healthy juices.
gOnly six?h The man asked back.
gEr..the rest will come. We sort of forgot who order what. Theyfre so many.h Betsy gave a deep sigh.
gI know what you mean girls.h The man smiled. gOh how impolite, Ifm Nakai the new butler and you must be Zaza.h He nodded to her. gYou must be Betsy and Jewel.h He was right on the spot to identify them.
gAt your service.h The girls bowed politely.
They went jumpy after hearing a call from a big speaker in the kitchen. gHEY SLOW BITCH!!! WHEREfS OUR HEALTHY JUICES!!!h Aya yelled from the speaker hard enough almost made their ears blew up into pieces.
gItfs coming your Aya-ness!h Nakai replied. He was moving his head gesturing the girls to go back to work on something else and carried the tray to them.
gIfll go help you!h Jewel volunteering and walked next to Nakai.
At the same time Zaza and Betsy heard a knock on the gate. gWefll go get that!h

Queen Jessica was lazing around on throw pillows and as always looking at herself in front of the mirror checking up her make up. Ayu and Britney Split was practicing their concealer trick make up, to become an expert in covering zits, blemishes and other ugly spot, including eye bag on their face, as they giggle and praising at each other. Aya and Maki were twirling around in front of a big mirror trying new dresses. It was a sore view for Jewel when she saw it herself.
gPut it there!!h Queen Jessica pointed to a coffee table next to her. One of her lipstick fell off the floor and it tripped Jewelfs foot, hence the tray alongside with the healthy juice spilled over Queen Jessicafs lap. gYou idiot!!!h she yelled at her. Jewel kept on apologizing and picking up the glasses while Nakai immediately gave the Queen a towel to clean herself.
gHey!! Did you ever finish that courtesy course that we gave you two months ago.h
gIfm sorry mother.h Jewel knelt down apologizing and hiding her annoyance but at the same time she was quite amused seeing the juices spilled on her expensive night dress and pillow covers.
gSorry is not enough!h Britney Split came forward attempting to slap her face. But Jewel caught her hand and stared at her. At that moment Britney was startled to see her fast reflex and her scary eyes as if about to kill. gYOU!!!h She tried to release from her grip, Jewelfs grip was hard.
Nakai immediately came in between them trying to halt a cat fight and also to save Jewel for making a big mistake. He shook his head giving a sign that it was not the right time to do that to her. Jewel agreed to him and released her grip. Britney grumbled since she did not manage to slap her.
gHEY!!!! There are two gorgeous guys at the gate withc.Zaza and Betsy?h Maki said in disbelief after she opened the curtain and saw a very unlikely view. gHow dare they flirting around at this hour, they supposed to work!h Maki went out the room and followed by Aya. The door was slammed behind them. Jewel looked worried but she hoped that her sisters would not be in trouble.

It turned out that there were two other brothers of Lord Sakamoto who came by to drop the invitation. They thought that their brother forgot to give the invitation to Algoria Castle, whom now called by the eleven sisters as Phantasmagoria Castle, since it was full of bimbo airhead ruling the whole kingdom.
gSo, there were four of us here this afternoon?h One of them asked as they tip their hat.
gYes.h Zaza answered as she bowed to him. The young man realized a cute figure in front of him wearing a nice smile. Without hesitation he introduced himself.
gIfm Lord Ando Masanobu and this is Lord Miyake Ken.h
gNice to meet you, your highness, wefre just peasants who work here. gZaza and Betsy slightly bowed as they would not want to reveal their true identity just yet.
gNo, you canft be peasants. Youfre too beautiful to be one.h Ando flattered them. It made the girls blushed a bit. They had never encountered any men before and once they did they got a surprised hunk right in front of them. gBut itfs not only for princess, we do invite all women from all over the world with any status, rich or poor.h
gReally?h Betsy sounded quite excited.
gYes.h Miyake answered.
gOh, forgot, and whatfs your name?h Ando asked.
Before Zaza and Betsy had the opportunity to reply him, Aya and Maki arrived and yelled at them to scram.
gHey! Do we tell you to flirting around like a cheap frisky woman?h Aya placed her hands on her waist.
gIfm so sorry.h Betsy and Zaza bowed to them to apologize. gWech
gJust go! And give me that paper.h Maki ordered. Betsy hesitantly gave the paper containing the invitation to her. She was exasperated and aggravated. gSCRAM!!!h
gYes, your Makiness.h
They left Maki and Aya with the guys, who apparently become a bit disgusted with them after seeing their rudeness toward their servant. However, Ando and Miyake kept their appearance and manneurism. They only smiled.
gSorry about that.h Maki leaned on the gate tried her flirtatious move that made the brothers raised their eyebrow. She was wearing a low cut dress dying to be sexy and enticing. gSo, whatfs with this?h She showed the invitation.
gErcyou can read right? Miyake asked sarcastically.
gOf course. Ifm well educated and..h
gThen read it youfll find out. Bye!h Miyake dragged Andofs arm to hop onto the horses. gSee you!!h They waved and left them alone feeling grumpy. Aya stomped her foot as she noticed they had no interest in them.
