Maddy

ATTENTION READERS

"Are you related to the late Shane Witherspoon III? If so you could be the inheritor of 5 BILLION dollars. If you have proof that you may be the living heir of the Witherspoon estate please arrive at 2489 Bend Drive at 3pm on Saturday, April 11. Ask for Miss Lacey Reins."

Maddy read the add that was supposed to change a life somewhere out there. "Bloody 'ell. All my work for nothing. Sitten 'ere readin a newspaper article about someone comin to take a fortune under my hand. "I 'ope 'art some sort a snob."

She picks her teeth with her finger as she hears the doorbell. "Damn busybodies, coming to take 'nother look at the place I bet."

Walking to the door she sees Lacy Reins. "Should've known it would be that lawyer lady. She is always buggering around her."

Opening the door she gives Lacy a weird look. The blazing heat blew her out from her face. "Well, are 'ou comin in or not? You will freeze your nickers off in that weather."

Lacey Reins

I glanced at the "help" letting her know her place in this life. A snear curled my lip as I glanced over her haggard appearance.
"Yes, I am coming into that unbarable heated hell hole. Stand aside." I waltz in and set down my briefcase. Groaning internally over my misfortune of knowing Mr. Witherspoon. I glanced around, "Where is the den again? I need to get everything set up for when his family starts to arrive tonight and tomorrow. I suspect they will come in droves to claim his fortune. Little do they know each person gets only so much... Including you missy. And you are guaranteed a job here for life.. meaning until you die. So don't creep out the relatives you might not make it through the weekend. AND! I demand that you DO NOT speak of those damned "spooks" while they are here, got that Maddy?!" I turned and faced her, my eyes meeting hers. If I didn't know any better I would think that woman was hexxing me or making faces behind my back.
I picked up my briefcase and walked down the hall and to the door she indicated with the pointing boney finger. God that woman reminds me of a mad witch! Walking inside I sat at the desk and once again read through the three inch pile of will papers. Sighing, I wished I was somewhere else instead of here right now.
I glanced up at the fireplace mantle and froze a little. Eyes were watching me. Tons of freaking eyes. "That's creepy" Looking closer I realized it was an oak mantle with the carving of little cherubs in it. All details enough down to the eyes. I did not like that much, it felt like they were following me as I moved. Freaky stuff.
"Maddy! Come here a minute.." When she peeked her head in I asked her in a quieter tone.
"Why does it say here to stay out of the attic and basement? There is no reasons other than dont go in there.. Are they unstable or something? Someone would like to know why incase they get this house as part of their inheritance.." I waited for her to reply..

 

[ARaynes]

Maddy

I looked at the wicked bitch of the west. "OH, no. You wouldn't wanna be goin in thar. Those places be sacred to you know. They be trying to kill you if you go."

I laughed an evil laugh. "Me friends won't be tooa happy witha mea ignorinan them. Youa know how they bea tempermental and all."

I started to turn when I noticed the cherubs. They looked to be asking for dusting. "My my my children. Don't you know, hesa gone. No longer yellin and screaming now. You hush up and go to sleep for a nap. They will be new homewreckers here soon enough."

And with that I went to reach for the witch's coat.
"May I marm? You don't want to get frostbite with that thing on."

 

[thegenogoths]

Chester Witherson

I arrive in the town looking for the address, ah there it is.

"He lived in there, it looks broken down a bit." i say outloud as i get out of my car and walk up to the front door.

Knock, Knock. I wait for someone to answer. Finally a woman answers the door.

"What can i do for you?" She asked

"Im here to see Miss Lacey Reins." I tell her as she waves me in the house.

"She is in there." she says.

I walk into the room that the woman pointed at.

"Miss Reins?" I ask to the woman in the room...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lacey Reins

I glanced up at Maddy, "Yes, go ahead and take my coat." I kept fumbling through papers and papers of legal terms and conditions and endless lawyer crap. if I had only known in law school.. I woulda been a vet or something.. Glancing up at Maddy just staring at me I raised a brow at her. "What?" She said nothing but jumped when there was a knock at the door.
I watched her leave and went back to reading the papers.
All was set, finally I would be done and paid for my services. I glanced up as a guy came in saying my name.
"Yes? MAy I help you with something?" I motioned him in and waited for his responce.

 

[thegenogoths]

Chester

"Im here about the ad." I tell her as i start to look her up and down, trying to get a read on her.

"Im a living heir, like the ad said. What is in the will?" I ask her as she seems to be looking me up and down as well...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lacey Reins

"Well young heir have a seat. You do have verification you are a legal heir do you not?" I smiled sweetly, but before he could continue I went on.
"Well, let me introduce myself. I am Lacey Reins, family lawyer. And legal executioner of the last will and testament of one Shane Whitherspoon the third. Stipulations, there are many. And there are a few more people who should be arriving since Mr Witherspoon informed me in his last letter he had a few heirs. But he did not name them, He divided everything evenly except the house and Maddy's Service. I will cut to the chase and give it to you in black and white." I shifted in my chair, eyeing him a little. He did indeed look like the late Shane Witherspoon III. Remarkable resemblance.
"In order to claim it, first off proven kinship and second a few other stipulations.. They are as follows.." I cleared my throat and began to read the basics of it.
"Each heir is to spend two weeks on this property. hence Whisper Manor and the grounds. Can not leave for anything. Only Maddy may leave at any given point. Even I am stuck here until this whole ordeal is over. Each heir has been given a single room. If you are still here in the two weeks, which by the way I dont see as a problem, then they get their share. Only one however will retain the house. And that my dear is up to me and only me. He said the one I find most suited to own this manor and keep it as it is may inherit this place. In that also is the guaranteed job for life of Maddy. The all around house hold helper. Any questions so far?" I glanced up at him, but he didn't appear to have anything to say yet.
"Two weeks on the grounds, proof you are a relative and oh one more thing.. Says here you are never to enter the basement or the attic for any reason. To do so forfiets all your rights even after you get this place. Dont ask me why. For you, it seems here he says you are not to contact your mother? Anyways, thats the deal." I waited for any questions. And was curious why this man could not contact his mother for any reason?

 

[thegenogoths]

chester

"I must stay for 2 weeks, not go in the basement or attic, and not contact my mother?:" I ask her. but before i give her a chance to answer i say "And i have to impress you to get the house?" I let out a sly smile. "That shouldnt be hard to get done." I tell her letting my eyes run up and down her business suit as she sat in front of me. "Maddy is the woman that answered the door?" I ask her. "Here is my proof." I hand her my birth certificate showing that I was indeed an heir. "Now to my room i guess?" I smile at her.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lacey Reins

I cocked a shapely brow at his bold gaze. So he thought he could easily impress me. I chuckled, boy did he have alot to learn. Smiling I rose from my seat and shook his hand. "Welcome Chester, I am sure you will enjoy your stay here. Follow me." I rose from the chair and walked around him. exiting into the hallway I walked around the corner and up the main staircase to the second floor. Taking the west wing I slowly and gracefully walked, letting him trail behind me. I smiled and said nothing about his cocky assurance he could win me over. I was bored, this might prove to be interesting.
I stopped next to the double oak doors.
"This is the master bedroom, but taken. Next is my bedroom for the duration of the stay and the third door down will be your room. Across the hall the others will stay and some inthe west wing. If you need anything, you best find it yourself Maddy doesnt like to serve anyone unless she wants to. Thats why its in the stipulations she stays. Even if she doesn't do anyone's bidding she keeps this place in perfect condition. There will be dinner prompty at 7pm. Dont be late, Maddy might shoot you." I winked at him and turned calling back, "A joke Chester, smile once in awhile. Now I must get back down stairs for the next arrival. Oh and the confinement starts tomorrow midnight. You still have some freedom to come and go before the two week time frame starts. I will keep ahold of your birth certificate for now. Good day Sir." With that I vanished back down the stairs and into the den once more to wait the next person.
Glancing at the papers infront of me, I knew this was just too easy a task to inherit all this money. Couldnt he be more creative with his requests? Sighing, It was none of my business I sat back and watched the minutes tick by.

 

[thegenogoths]

Chester

As I follow her up the stairs to my room my gaze is fixed on her ass swaying back and forth, I knew that she was doing it on purpose, thats what made it hotter. We got to the rooms and she explained which was mine and when dinner was. I watch her go back down the stairs. What a cold outside, but i bet its hot on the inside i think to my self about her as i go into my room. I see a giant bed made perfectly. The master bedroom must be just huge. I think to myself. I check out the room, It was a bit dark but that was fine by me. I checked out the closet, it was very large a walk in type. I got on the bed and layed down on it, easily sperading all the way on it with plenty of room left. "Now how to impress Ms. Reins?" I say to myself out loud...

 

[ARaynes]

Maddy

I watch and that Lawyer broad explains the rules. I don't think that he will follow them. I just have a bad feeling about that one.

Hearing another knock on the door I go to answer it. I can see through the glass that this one will be fun.

'Why 'ello dear. Please come in and make yourself visiable.....*turning to her back* I can't talk to you right now. Go upstairs and I will do it later. *then turning back to the arriving guest* to the rest of the world."

I step back and let the new arrival in. "That lawyer lady, Miss Rein's is in 'ere." I say guesturing to the living area. "May I take your coat?"

 

[Merelan]

Stumbling out of the cab and lugging my case upt he stairs. not tipping him, the bastard. Didn't even offer to help. I brush away at something in my face, but nothing is there.
"Get a grip Didi. They will think your batty or something. You're in for the fight of your life dear. You know damn well they won't just hand you the money he left you." Ringing the bell, then knocking.

The woman was tlaking to herself, then turned, then back to Didi. She gestured me in, wild, crazed by the look in her eye. "That lawyer lady, Miss Rein's is in 'ere." I say guesturing to the living area. "May I take your coat?"

"Who are you?" Shedding my coat, and tossing it at her. A servant then. Fine. I knew how to treat them.
"I am Didi Delaney. I would like a drink please. In here?" Turning my back, then brushing again at my face. It felt like cobwebs. Turning to see her watching, laughing at me!

"Hmmph." Stalking into the room she had indicated.

 

[ARaynes]

Maddy

"She thinks I am the help. Shh, we will get her! Sho her who is the help around hear. HAHAHA. You showed her, playing with her hair."

I walk into the kitchen and fix her a drink, 75% vodka, 15% tequila and 10% juice. "This be the only stiff thing she will get her 'ands on."

I take her the drink and look around at the five people in the room. This was gonna be a long five weeks.

 

[thegenogoths]

Chester

I came out of my room and decided that I would take a look around. I knew that i couldnt go into the attic or basement. I went to the other wing of the house. "Pretty big." I mutter to myself as walk down a long hallway. I hear something coming from one of the rooms and I knock wondering if this was someone else here about all the money. Knock, Knock...hello?...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lacey Reins

I glanced up at the door, spotting the new comer. Ahhh The sex toy. I didn't say it aloud, but we all knew who she was and what she was to the late Shane Witherspoon.
"Come in Didi and have a seat. Then we can get the formalities over with." I indicated a chair and went on.
"Alright here, let's read your part in this mess and show you to your room. Shall we?" I smiled a little smile, wondering just how sane Mr. Witherspoon was when he wrote all of this?
"Alright Didi, you are specificly mentioned in the will.. Now here's your part. 1.5 million dollars, the condo down town, the red porche in Maine, and the summer house in Florida. All on three conditions.. First, you must spend two weeks here at the manor, no leaving the grounds. Two, no sexual intercourse with any male for the two weeks and third you must sleep in the master bedroom with Maddy. And you have to convince Maddy to sleep in there with you." I shook my head, how odd was that?
I spoke up before she could laugh or ask questions, "I know these are all weird requests, but it is my legal obligation to make sure you either stick to it by the book or leave with nothing. Any questions?" I waited for the volcano to errupt.

2489 Bend drive I tell the cabbie. Take your time

I know he's going to anyway, they all do, let the meter run drive around the block. get evey buck they can.

Slouching back into the seat I read the add again
5 billion dollars. I wonder how many relatives real or fake I have to fight with for this or what kind of crazy stipulations there are. Crazy uncle Shane, he's finally dead not that it matters to me I never even met the man.

Well even if it was split a hunderd ways or so thats still in the millions. Enough to fiance an expidition to Crete an off shore dive I'd been trying to finance for a couple of years. If this works out for me I can say... kiss my ass to the National geograpic people and go it alone hah

Cabbie says here we are and I flip him a twenty and head for the massave front door. How can anybody stand to live in a place like this I wonder looking around. Oh well I'll get my money and blow this joint soon enough.

I ring the bell. feeling a little nervous, I take a deep breath and clutch my briefcase a llittle tighter.

 

[ARaynes]

Maddy

I had the new missus a drink and head for the door. Another money grubbing realative I am sure.

I reach the door, this time seeing a man on the other side. Opening it I say, "Well, Glory be. You must be here to see that thar lawyer woman. Well, she is raught thar in the living roooom. Come on in and git yourself ready."

I show him in the living room. "Now, don't you git yurself into trouble, missy. These are real humans. Not your type." I say to the corner.

 

[afternooner]

Richard

Oh god I think, I know it's hard to get help these days. This one has got to be from the bottom of the list and a little crazy too. Well that figures Uncle Shane was crazy too.

I sit uneasily in a woooden chair in the foyer as the lawyer in the other room seems busy. I hear two female voices. Jeeze, just what we need some broad who thinks she can wear a mans pants. well to my way of thinking she hasn't got the balls for it I smile at my joke feeling a little more confident.

The other vioce is sweet and seductive. Cant wait to get a look at her but I'd better mind my manners and wait my turn.

 

[Merelan]

A brief second I stand sit there. Letting it sink in.

"I have to what? Fuck you. Listen, I don't mind staying here a couple weeks.." waving away the damn cobweb again. "And going without sex is a holiday for me babe. But sleep? With the maid? is that who answered the door? Ain't no way dear. She is as mad as a hatter." Suddenly feeling surrounded by the invisible webs. "God damn." Waving my arms wildly. Only stopping when I saw the look on her face. Then remembering what he had left me. Enough that I never need work again, on my back. Though it was rarely there they took me.
it didn't say I had to have sex with the whacko, just share a room.
"Okay. Fine. Shane always was a bit of a wierdo." Instantly I felt freed of the webs. What the hell was that anyway? I couldn't see them, but they were there just the same.

 

[ARaynes]

Maddy

"NO, Missus. You don't have to sleep with me. I am not gonna go near that Master room. He's still in there you know. He watches and he sighs..." I move closer to her, my eyes wild my hands running around but never touching.

"He screams in the night, pained screams. Louder than a banshee at midnight don't you know! And they will get you too, if you don't watch it. They will come and get you...taking you in their grasp and softly squeeeeeeeeeeezin the life from your lungs. Don't you worry Missus. I am going no where near dat room."

 

[ARaynes]

Re: Chester

Knock, Knock...hello?...

In a really loud voice not able to tell the gender you hear

"GET OUT NOW"

As the door begins to shake violently pushing you away to the other wall.....

An evil laughter can be heard all through the house..............

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lacey Reins

"ENOUGH! Sit down and shut up both of you!" I had enough of this childish crap and was not taking anymore of it.
"Maddy?! You want a job? Do you!!!?" I waited for her nod.
"Good then sit down and shut up with that spook talk! Now listen up and listen good.. In order to keep your job Maddy.. Someone has to take this house. Now if you dont cooperate with the will of Shane Witherspoon, you are left in the cold. Got that? Sleep in the damned room!" I slowly rose from my desk as I spoke to her and was even leaning over the desk in her face. Panting for air I was starting to get annoyed.
"I am executioner of the will Maddy. Not you not her, not the dead ghost down the hall! Me! And if you want to stay here with your job, you need a master to run this place.. Which means, if they want to inherit any of this mad house, they too have to cooperate. Does that make sense?" I sighed throwing my hands in the air.
"Maddy take didi up to the master bedroom, and no more grief woman! I am trying to do my job here and go home myself!" I grumbled as I shoed them out of the Den.
Glancing down the hall a little I seen another guy sitting.
"Are you here to see me Mr...? Your name please?" I waved him in behind me, he matched the description of someone else in the will, but I needed his name. That sly old dog Witherspoon had a few tricks up his sleeve to say the least.
And why did I still feel like I was being watched!? This place was getting on my nerves.. Or maddy was. One of the other. Shaking my head I motioned the new comer to come in and sit with me.
(afternooner)

Lilacs and Lace

"Laceys gotta pretty face... Mommy? Can I cut it?"

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddddy... Come play with me..

*giggles*

a man! ooooooh a sensual living man! Sitting in my chair, waiting for the pretty girl... He wants me, he's looking right at me..

*sighs*

Vanishes... appears beside the real live sensual man...
"oooh just let me touch him? Please?"
Licks his cheek and vanishes before Maddy.
"Maaaaaaaaaaddy... I want a toy maddy..?"
*pouting*

 

[Merelan]

The lawyer blows yup at Maddy and myself. It is her. The loon.
I take her arm. "You aren't going to mess this up for me. Get it? Youa ren't doing me out of my money and stuff. Shane wanted me to have them. Can I help it if he was a perv? Don't fuck up or I will make your life hell!" Having whispered it to her as we walked out. But i was instantly caught again, in those damn webs. Waving my arms wildly.
"Knock that off." Not even knowing who I was yellign at.

 

[ARaynes]

Maddy

I start walking Didi up to the Master suite.Aas we reach the top of the staires we see the man upstairs jump and hear an evil laugh resound through the house. "MY my, the master awaits your arrival." I take her to the door that the man jumped away from and unlock it opening it for her. "Enjoy your stay here Misus. I know others that will."

I laugh and start walking back down the stairs hearing a bell once again.

Getting before the door I hear the child. "Not now but soon. I must go get the door. Where is your mum?"
