Third-person POV,
"What, are talking about?" Jade fretted she had no idea the workers had to sign such a contract just to work in the mansion.
"Who made you sign such things?" She asked alarmed by the content of the contract.
She knew all the workers probably had to sign some sort of agreement before they can work there, but she had no idea it include something like that.
"It was the company that got me the job," the maid's quiet voice said and that made Jade feel a little sad and furious at the same time.
Jade was kind hearted and although she was a daughter to someone who owns one of the biggest companies, she was totally different from the arrogant brat everyone expects her to be.
Although she was raised like a freaking princess, she still grew up to respect every human equally regardless of their status.
"So you're telling me you knew about this and you still agreed to sign the contract?" Jade asked looking at the maid with confusion evident in her eyes.
The maid only sat there saying nothing because she knew Jade would never understand.
The maid knew Jade had never had to go through what she did and Jade had never been presented with the type of choices she had to choose from so she didn't expect her to know why she choose that.
She didn't expect her to understand why she made those choices but she doesn't blame her because it wasn't her fault. It was the fault of nature the maid believed.
Jade was still trying to think of possible reasons why anyone would sign such a thing but no matter how much she thinks about it she just couldn't understand why someone would choose to sign away their lives knowingly.
The contract the maid had signed was a work contract but it was stated clearly that they had no say in anything that happened to them while they worked and they don't have the right to report any form of violence that happened to them at the course of working under someone.
"That's twisted, it's just like signing away your right as a human," Jade pointed but the maid could only let out a sad small smile without saying any more words.
The maid was feeling a little more at ease now that she heard someone actually cared that she was hurt and that was enough for her.
Jade wasn't okay with it though although she knows that the contract was in favour of Drake because he gets violent every once in a while, she still doesn't think it's okay to make someone else sign away their life all because they wanted to work for him.
Jade helped the girl apply some ointments on her wounds and apologized a few more times before she left the maids part of the mansion and went back to Drake's room.
Drake was still in the shower when Jade walked into the room. He was standing a little crooked, holding the walls with his left hands, in the shower as cold water rushes out of the showerhead and onto his broad shoulders.
His mind was filled with what happened only a few moments back and he couldn't help but wonder why he had loosed his shit with that maid.
Drake doesn't understand anything that was going on with him since his parents died from that hideous accident.
He doesn't understand why he was the only person who survived an accident where the car was crushed into a junkyard by a truck driver, and he couldn't understand the unexplainable things he could do since then.
It's been three years after the accident and things hadn't been the same since then.
"Dee, are you still in the shower?" Jade's soft voice called from outside the door, pulling him out of his zoned out state.
And that made him stop the shower from running and grab a towel and wrap it around his waist before walking out of the bathroom while grabbing another small towel to dry his hair.
"Why did you lose your shit like that Drake? You promised you'd try not to do that again, you said you had everything under control," Jade said worriedly.
She knows how he had been experiencing change right after their parents died and although both of them have been trying to figure out what was going on with him, they still couldn't find exact answers.
"I think it's the full moon soon," Drake said thinking back to the one thing he realized affects his anger issues.
He has no idea why that is, but he knows it definitely has something to do with the moon because he realized he gets extremely pissed off for no reason whenever there was the full moon. Sometimes he would undergo tons of roller-coaster emotions from feeling lonely to feeling like he was missing out on his real self.
"What do you mean it's the full moon?" Jade questioned with raised eyebrows because this was news to her.
"I realized a few months ago that I'm more on edge whenever it's the full moon," Drake said with a straight face.
"Okay?" Jade said trying to think of a reason why someone's emotions would be affected by a change in the moon.
"Is she okay?" Drake asked instead of trying to explain what he meant to Jade because he wasn't entirely sure what it meant either.
Jade was busy trying to think about what Drake said about the moon so she didn't reply when he asked how the maid was doing. She was seated on his bed thinking hard, until a thought occurred to her and it made her squeeze her face before she quickly discarded the thought the moment it came and then said, "that's not possible they are a myth," she said more to her self with a shake of her head.
"What's a myth?" Drake asked looking at her with his signature straight face.
However, Jade who was in denial of her thoughts only shook her head and said it was nothing but even though she said it was nothing she still couldn't help but ask him something just to be sure.
"Did you by chance go into the woods and get bitten by any animal?" She asked with an unbelievable expression written all over her face...
