Chereads / Alicia & the evil general / Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

"Go get started" Asher said as he stood up from the chair and walked towards the staircase with his cat trailing behind him, Alicia's voice made him halt as he turned to look at her.

"Sir you mean now?" she asked wide eyed.

"Yeah when else would it be?" He asked her, he could see her mumbling something with that pink lips of hers and he knew she was cursing him, oh come on! who hasn't cursed him in his entire life. He saw her back going towards the kitchen and his lips twisted into a smirk.

***

Alicia had just finished washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, she even prepared food Incase he wanted to it and if he wasn't going to eat it now, she would warm it later.

She wiped the windows clean and washed all the curtains, that wasn't all, she made sure to wash all his clothes that were in the laundry room. Instead of waiting for it to dry naturally, she used her powers to dry it. After ironing it and folding it into the basket, she left the clothes there.

The next one was the parlour, instead of Alicia to sweep it like any other person would do and because she was tired, she used her fingers to control the brooms and mops after mumbling some words and not less than five minutes all her work were done except for the roof that she had to clean.

'How would I even get there' she asked herself.

She looked around the house that she had properly cleaned and in the passage she found a ladder, she carried it and went to the balcony to place it there. Steadying it she breathed in and breathed out before finally placing one leg on it, then the other leg and then she climbed the ladder up to the roof.

"Ah, what a nice view is here" She said as she spread her arms wide forgetting that she had something to do there. she laid on the roof to gaze up at the blue sky, everything was just so perfect except that she was still stuck in this house. She should find a way to escape soon, she can't stay here and serve this monster for a lifetime!

Using her powers again after making sure that nobody was looking at her from any where, she cleaned the roof.

'I need to do something that'll make him hate me and he'll be forced to send me out' Alicia said to herself as she thought of what Asher hated the most that of someone does it, he might end up killing the person but she didn't want to die, she'll just pray to be set free.

Some ideas came into her head but she immediately pushed them away thinking that they were irrelevant and Asher might just end up shrugging it off, but did he ever let something off that easily? she wondered. What a complicated man he is.

After enjoying the gentle breeze on the roof, she slowly walked towards the ladder to come down but as she gazed down, she realized that she couldn't climb down she was definitely going to fall.

'Ahh, I never thought it was this high' said Alicia as she tried putting her leg on the ladder but the ladder shook making her retract her leg as soon as possible, what should she do now! how would she come down!

"Uhmm... Master please help me! I can't get down" Alicia shouted from where she was although she expected him not to come for her.

"Master!!!" she yelled again at the top of her voice, she had to hold herself very well so as not to sway due to the wind.

Asher heard her voice but pretended to not hear, he was preparing some plans when she started calling him, as much as he wanted silence so as to make the most effective plan this noisy girl wouldn't let him.

"Hey! Come and help me can't you hear!!" Alicia shouted out of frustration as she has been calling him since but her evil master decided not to come help her.

"Hey?" Asher reiterated her words, who the hell was she calling 'hey'. He stood up from his sit to check outside his window what was going on with her. He had the urge to scoff when he saw her trying to get down but she couldn't do it.

He folded his arms across his chest as he watched her going down, she already held the ladder with her hand and she has successfully placed her two legs on it, 'Just keep going down without looking' He said, his eyes narrowed, why did he care if she fell down or not, what was his business?

He was about to go back to his seat when he heard her screaming, she was already falling...

Alicia breathed in as she placed her leg on the ladder, she tried not to look at the ground as she placed her second leg on it then she was already going down from the ladder when suddenly the wind became stronger that she could not hold the ladder properly and ended up flinging her arms away. She was falling... Her eyes widened when she realized she was falling down with full speed, she closed her eyes and opened it again... 'Im not even dreaming' she said to herself as she had the urge to yell.

Alicia was expecting herself to fall on the ground with a loud thud, she gasped when she felt someone catch her. Who had saved her this time? she asked herself as she opened her already shut eyes to stare into the emerald green eyes that belongs to no one but her evil master.

Asher frowned when he saw that the girl was still gaping at him, he dropped her on the floor with a thud and walked over her.

"Hey! How could you do this to me!!" Yelled Alicia as she grunted while standing up the ground, she dusted her cloth and adjusted her dress as she went after him.
