All Chapters of After Dark: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Miss, wake up'. 'Madam says you should come down for dinner'. I woke up to the sound of my door being banged accompanied by the shouts of the maid, Zina. 'Miss, please wake up or madam will get angry'. 'Okie, coming I'm coming. No need to bring my door down'. I heard her giggle and I rolled my eyes. 'Zina?'. 'Yes ma'am?'. 'How many more times do you want me to tell you not to call me miss or ma'am before you'll actually listen to me and stop calling me that?'. 'Err-- I'm sorry ma'am. So sorry'. 'There you go again'. She giggled once more. Sometimes I wonder if I'm that funny or she just finds everything funny. 'You should get ready,--- Maya'. 'That's better. Now go tell 'Madam' that I'm coming right away'.&

Well, my subconscious self had been right. It seems she knows me more than I know myself. You must be thinking what could have gone wrong. Plenty did. I am starting to think that maybe, just maybe Liza was right. Nobody would want me to work for him and even if they let me I was going to ruin it like I ruined this one. They had given me the job and I was wearing my uniform and helping Katherine throughout the day. It was just 30 minutes before closing time when Katherine asked me to do my first job alone. She asked me to kill a chicken. As simple as the job was I fucked up. I had put the knife on the  chicken's neck and slaughtered it forgetting to cut whatever still keeps it alive.           Then I went to cupboard area to change my clothes. 

I've been trying to locate the building but all my efforts has been in vain.Maybe the job ad was fake and was put there by an insane person.Why the hell would they put a fake ad on a bill board?Was it a trick? Maybe they thought nobody in their right senses would want to apply for a job that makes it clear that what they're doing is dangerous.I shook my head to that thought. Surely I can't be the only desperate unemployed graduate.Did they move to another location?But the ad looked new.And even if they moved to another place at least the old building should be there.They didn't move the old building too. Could they?Definitely not.The only building I've see so far since I've been wandering this particular street I didn't even know existed is an old manor with pealing paints and gates that looked like that of

'Woof woof'.'Yeah I'm happy too'.We were in the cab already heading to where would either be our doom or salvation.Though I suspect the former.But that wasn't the case with Roddy. It was very obvious that he was very happy and thought that where we were heading was our complete salvation.Whatever he thought changed the moment we got to the front of the manor.'Woof?'.'Yeah, this is where we're staying'.'Woof!'.'I know, it's very bad looking. But let's get inside and you'll see the real definition of bad'.I had to drag Roddy into the manor. It was obvious that he was scared of whatever lies inside the building.Well who wouldn't be?I succeeded in dragging him inside by telling him how I regret taking him along with me and how he isn't faithful by wanting to leave

'I like your hair'.'Oh, really?'.'Uh uh'.'What's there to like about it?'.'The colour, the texture'. She said running her fingers through the strands.I snorted. 'I'd chose yours anytime'.She rolled her eye and smiled.'Eleanor said we look alike'.'Really? She said that?'.'Yep'.I nodded. 'I'm glad to look like someone as beautiful as you are'. I winked.She blushed. 'The honor is mine'.'By the way, who is Eleanor?'.'The cleaner, I thought you meg her already. She said-'.'Oh yeah, we did. But I didn't ask her name'.'Oh'.Irena and I had become good friends that she moved all her belongings into my room.She said she's used to sleeping with someone cause she sleeps with her 3 you
