My high school b;u;lly invited me to the reunion, demanding I wear a maid's uniform to "know my place." I served her drinks for hours while she mocked me. Then, a royal helicopter landed on the lawn. My bodyguards ripped off my apron, revealing a gown of liquid gold and the crown jewels. "You wanted a uniform," I smiled, "but you forgot to ask who I really am."
"Since you're already 'dressed for the part,' and we are dreadfully short on staff tonight," Beatrice smirked, shoving a heavy silver tray into my hands. "Why don't you make yourself useful? My guests need their drinks topped off. Don't worry, I'll tip you generously at the end of the night. Probably more than your mother makes in a week."

She stared directly at me in the shadows. "Tonight is about celebrating those of us who have truly made it!"
Just as her arrogance reached its crescendo, a low, rhythmic thrum began to vibrate through the floor. It wasn't thunder.
Wind suddenly whipped through the venue, violent enough to send white napkins flying like startled birds. The ch*****ne tower crashed down. Screams erupted as a massive shadow blotted out the moon, and the deafening roar of an engine tore through the night sky...
