She isn't greeted by anyone as she walks in.

Not by her sisters. Or her parents.
She is ignored, as per usual.

This upsets her even more. So she goes up to her room and orders a pizza.

The delivery guy sneaks in through the back of her yard and hands her the pizza through the window.
"Thanks."

Nika eats it as she packs up her belongings.
Her family all started ignoring her when the were turned.

Each of them having different abilities. They put themselves on a pedestal and swept her under the rug. Like she meant absolutely nothing to them.

In the end she opted for a new place to live until she finished school.
Luckily they gave her that. Scored her a spot with royalty, they got something out of the whole deal.

Nika finishes her pizza and walks down the stairs with her things.
No one says bye as she exits and gets into her Kia Soul.
She keys in the address and drives off.

Being the only human in her family was difficult. Not because they wanted to drink from her.
But because they despised humans for no particular reason at all.

Nika really hit the jackpot with this family. She offered her service as a maid for a better home life.

The house was gated and the black home was big. It looked like something from Dracula.

Nika was skeptical as the gates opened and she drove in.
Nice cars littered the long driveway so she parked far from them. Not taking any chances on hitting them.

The walk to the door was long and nerve wracking.
Nika knocks on the door and a older man opens it.

"Are you the new hire?" He ask.
"Yes. I'm Nika."
"I am the Butler. Come in." He steps aside.

Nika walks in.
He shows her to the massive dinning room.
"The new hire is here Madam Winchester." The Butler says.

The name sounds familiar to her. But she can't quite remember from where.
She gets up to greet Nika.

"Evening. I want you to help set up for dinner dear. Is that fine?" Nika nods. "Good and I also need you to be a personal maid for my dear children yes?"

"Yes Madam."
"Delightful. Norman take her to her floor and have her change."

"Yes Ma'am."
He shows her to her room on the first floor.
Nika sets her things down and opens the closet.

There are several uniforms hanging up there.
She quickly changes into one. The dress is tighter around her chest.
As she finds the kitchen she notices her uniform was shorter than the other maids.

The feeling of being the only black girl made her self conscious and a bit on edge.
The girls taught her how to set up the table and went over the rules.
"Don't be so up tight new girl." A girl says.

"I'm trying to not be." The girl giggles.
"I'm Bell."
"Nika." They shake hands.

"That is Asia, Janet and Marge." She points to the others.
"Hi." She waves.

"They rarely eat at the table. The only time they do is when the have guest over." She hands Nika a pitcher.
"Come now. It is time."

They walk out as everyone gathers at the table.
Nika cursed in her head when she sees them. The boys from school.

They don't seem to notice her. At least not until she fills each of their glasses with the dark liquid.
Ian smirks and Timothy chuckles as she passes them.
Gray only spares her a glance.

Now she remembers the name.
The Winchesters.
