A Reverse World

Heeeeeyyyyy guys, so... I'm not completely back to writing yet, but this is the rewritten version of chapter 5 as I want to make the book have a bit more mature tone, so I can include *cough* * cough* some specific scenes. Anyways I want you all to try this and give me your opinions, happy reading!!!!. Also a special thank you goes out to @liviapeixoto for her awesome advice and compliments.

I stepped past the ruined door into the room and my eyes noticed the woman sitting on the bed, she looked like an old woman of 40, though it would be difficult to find out her true age, seeing as vampires stop aging at 23, she must have had a bit of a rough life to look the way she does now, she was well experienced in the duties of the head maid though.

She appeared to have been startled awake just perfect I thought as I walked towards the bed and sat by the chair closest to it. She haughtily stared down at me before saying " amaryllis what are you doing here?, you should be in the servant quarters where trash like you belong."

I watched her silently without answering while waiting for the steward to arrive " your highness, he's here" the maid from before appeared at the bedroom door and reported but not before glancing in shock at the shambles of the door.

"Come in head steward" I said and a short and fat man ran into the room sweating " you wretch why are you here?, i thought the headmaid summoned me."

" Now that you're both here I'd like full control of my palace and the palace seal returned to me." They both stared at me in shock probably never imagining I would have the guts to say such a thing, before erupting into peals of laughter.

" Oh my goodness she actually believes she's something else other than trash" the housekeeper wheezed " I can't believe she thought there was a chance we'd pay her any attention" the steward snorted.

"Listen girl you better go back to the dump you belong before we seriously hurt you" the steward said. My anger levels began to rise and rage pulsed through my body as I remembered everything they had ever done to amaryllis, they definitely felt my change as they suddenly stopped laughing.

The housekeeper looked at me with her eyes wide open " how is this possible?, You're meant to be trash!" she said her voice quivering. I had no idea what she was talking about as I felt adrenaline rush through my body and my vision turned red.

I flashed and suddenly reappeared near the steward, he began shaking in fear and tried to run away but I grabbed him and lifted him by his neck. I began squeezing, my hands closing in around the hollow of his throat as he struggled against me " no wait, please don't do this, please". I stopped and dropped him on the ground, he bowed before me and quickly turned around, intending to run out of the room.

He had barely moved three steps before I flashed to him again and dug my long black claws into the side of his neck. He gasped as I dragged my hands from his neck ripping out a chunk of skin. He made a gurgling sound, blood flowing into his throat instead of air and collapsed onto the ground shaking. I frowned as I turned towards the housekeeper upset at the blood splattered all over my face.

I sneered in disgust at the fallen steward, what a wuss. He's not going to die anyways, not until I rip out his heart. He'll heal in about three hours but here he is lying motionless as if I mortally wounded him.

I faced the housekeeper placing my full attention on her, which also meant she got the full effect of my bloody face, black claws and eerily glowing eyes. she started shaking on the ground before moving backwards for every step i took towards her. There was a feral smile on my face as her back hit the wall with a soft thud "now it's your turn" "No, please no I'll do anything just please don't."
