Embrace Of The Lucifer

August.

Everyone was busy. I had to agree today we were busy since morning. Everyone was running from here and there. I was cleaning the living room. We were informed that Mr. Knight would have some important business clients in their house and he wanted the whole house cleaned before they get home. So, everyone was working so that we wouldn't get scolding from Mr. Knight.

"Hurry up girls we have to make the dinner too and it's already 4 pm! What are you all doing!" Martha yelled and hurried towards us.

"Girls please we need to hurry, okay? And Leida I want you to help me cut the vegetables and Sarah take out all the new plates and glasses from the store room ma'am told me to use those." Both Sarah and Leida nodded their head and left the living room.

"Uh...Martha what I have to do?" I asked her.

"Oh, honey you just work in the garden for now as we only need to prepare the dinner if I need help, I'll call you." She said and left. I sighed in relief. At least I didn't have to clean the rooms though. It was really tiring.

I left the living room too and wore my gloves to work in the garden. It was my favourite job. I loved spending time there and Knights had the most beautiful garden ever! They planted different types of trees and flowers, there were also some flowers that I had never seen in my whole life. But I loved the blue orchids most. These were just so beautiful. I went to the garden and the main gardener; Mr. Charles gave me a warm smile. He was a nice man in his late 40s. He was a sweet man and always treated me like his daughter.

"Have a nice time with your favourite flowers!" I smiled at him and started doing my work. The weather was quite good that day, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and planted another new plant that the Knights wanted in their garden. After finishing my work, I stood up and went to pick up the watering can and started to water the plants and flowers. I smiled brightly at the beautiful sight in front of me. The garden was looking so beautiful, filled with colourful flowers and lots of trees. I was in love with that scenario.

At that time, a beautiful amber colour butterfly came and sat on the top of a yellow tulip. A broad smile appeared on my face at that scenario. I noticed more butterflies coming there by following their partner. I giggled at those beautiful things. A little blue butterfly was just flying towards me, I raised my hand up to its level and it rested right on my knuckles. I smiled looking at the little creature. After few seconds of resting on my hand it flew away. I laughed softly at how cute it was looking. All the butterflies flew away among that one.

"Under this astounding blue sky, their beauty is indescribable. Am I right?"

I gasped and turned around to face whoever was talking.
