request some songs for me to play and I might add them up above^ : )

          An easy two weeks had flown by, Lucas had attempted to spend more time with me to work on our growing friendship, but... he always seems preoccupied with something. I still had to work on my trust with him so I didn't find it immediately surprising for me to think that he was searching up more and more private information about me instead of honoring our visits. But my suspicion was proven wrong when one day I had caught him as I was passing by his room, the door was cracked open slightly and the light that came from within had spilled out in the hallway. I had crept forward near his door and looked at him. Before this moment the only other time I had seen him was 5 days earlier. He was hunched over his laptop, the bright light from the screen illuminated his face and showed off the dark circles that were forming under his eyes as he typed away rapidly. I didn't knock, nor enter. He was very busy doing something and though I felt the need to ask what was going on, was it really any of my business?

          Instead of spending all my planned visits with Lucas by myself I had started spending my time more with Mandy and Penny. Well, as much time as they gave me. I swear those two were attached by the hip and couldn't seem to keep themselves off each other for even a mere second. It was definitely adorable but after a while, being the third wheel got real tired- real quick.

         I even opted to spend more time with Zeke, but just like Lucas, he was always busy. We had met up one day. I think 3 days ago, that was the last time I had seen him, and even before that! The day I had returned was the last time I had come face to face with him up until the morning I saw him shove a donut in his mouth and attempting to run while doing so. I had grabbed him by the arm and forced him to sit down and have a nice breakfast with me. He seemed very impatient to leave and let me know about it too! 'Dawn, I just came for a donut... let me leave.' or 'I have more pressing matters, though if I find time please finish the story of how you know how to tango.' His last statement had me wanting to beat Penny with a stick, how many more people was she planning on telling?!

          So, even though I had spent the majority of my time trying to enjoy the vast loneliness of this empty castle I ended up where I am right now. In the kitchen, trying to make a meal.

         Keyword: trying.

         I had decided to pull out a box of mac n cheese, no doubt belonging to Zeke. Now currently, instead of making Mac N Cheese per se. I was trying to put out the fire I had created in the pot.

        "Mother fuc-" I gasped when I noticed the bright flames. I grabbed the pot and yelped back dropping it back on the stove. I didn't put on any mitts. I rummaged through the cabinets and produced two towels just as the fire alarm went off. Filling the castle with an annoying beeping noise sounding off everywhere. I quickly grabbed onto the on fire pot with the towels, and quickly looked for the sink. The heat of the flames becoming too much too fast. As soon as I spotted the sink I dashed towards it while yelling a string of curses. "Shit, shit, shit, shit." I dropped the burning pot into the sink and just as I was about to turn the faucet on to get rid of the fire, sprinklers from above head broke free and sprayed the entire kitchen with jets of water.

         "Oh my God."

        I turned to face a flabbergasted Lucas who seemed to have been watching the whole scene take place. His open mouth quickly threw out laughs as he rubbed his hands over his face.

        "It's not funny!" I yelled over the blaring alarm, I felt my clothes get heavier as the water soaked into it.

       He ignored what I had said and called out for Zeke. "Zeke! Come look at what Dawn did!"

       My eyes widened. "Hey, hey, hey!"

       Zeke entered the kitchen from a different set of stairs I hadn't ever taken notice of before. He looked over the scene in front of him and towards my soaking figure. "What the fuck."

       "I was trying to make Mac N Cheese!" I tried justifying, and I pointed towards the charred pot that was now resting in the sink, the fire long gone.

      Zeke laughed, while Lucas went to shut off the alarm. Stopping the water from hitting me. "Dawn, last I checked the recipe doesn't call for 'burn the house down.'" Zeke teased and I scowled at him.

     I hadn't even noticed Lucas' departure until he walked towards me with a white towel. Holding it forward for me and I quickly took it, offering him a small thank you as he chuckled at me while I wrapped myself tightly.

      "Why were you making... that?" He said while glancing over at the sink. "I'm sure the cooks wouldn't have minded."

         I shook my head, "I was bored."

        His eyebrows lifted, "So you thought to burn my kitchen... would help you be less... bored?"

        "No, it's just that no one spends time with me anymore and it gets lonely here and I was gonna make dinner for everyone, and we would have a nice meal altogether." I rushed out.

       "Awe." I heard Zeke coo from the behind the sink, as he examined the damage.

        I bit my tongue to not let a smart ass reply to appear, "Tell you what." I snapped my head towards Lucas who was now speaking. "Change out of these, and then come back downstairs alright?" I bit the inside of my cheek, "Hey, I remember telling you not to do that anymore." And he poked my cheek, causing me to immediately let go of the skin.

      I nodded and carefully walked over the slippery wet floor, and towards my room. I walked towards the steps that Zeke came down from and realized that it probably led upstairs, as I took the steps slowly I was proved right as I looked over and saw my door only a few feet away from it.

      I entered my room, I had left the other room and came back to this one when I realized there was no need being so far away from everyone else. I took my time stripping and changing into dry clothes. Since Lucas was always busy, I had to take Jesse with me to the mall alongside Mandy and Penny. Jesse was elated to see me again and to go back into the Victoria Secret.

      I slipped the soft shirt over my head and let my wet hair out of its bun and down my back. The curls on my head looking very disformed and I threw it back into the bun after finding out that wet rat wasn't an attractive look.

      I exited my room, this whole ordeal taking about ten minutes as I took my sweet time. I jumped down the every few steps of the stairs as I walked into the kitchen and came face to well... back of Mandy, Penny, Zeke, and Lucas. All around the kitchen cooking something.

       "What are you guys doing?" I asked as I stepped away from the wall and towards their figures.

       Penny answered first, "I heard you were bitching about being lonely and Lucas forced us to help make a meal."

       Lucas stopped stirring whatever was in the pot in front of him. "Penny, you could at least try to not sound mad about it."

      "Shut the fuck up Lucas." Penny snapped, and Lucas threw his hands in the air. "We were watching a movie."

       Mandy shoved Penny's shoulder, "We have enough time to watch movies, be happy." She scolded and walked towards me. "I'm sorry we haven't been spending any time together, especially since all that's happened," Mandy said as she hugged me.

      I hugged her back, "It's okay, I understand." And I threw her a wink. To which she just bashfully looked to the floor.

     "I'm sorry for being a bitch!" Penny called out as she sliced some carrots.

       I laughed while Zeke rolled his eyes. "Don't you mean dick?"

       Penny lifted the carrot she was cutting and started beating Zeke with it. "Hey! Hey! I didn't mean it!" He laughed as he tried to escape Penny.

     I nudged Mandy playfully, "That's your mate huh." And she ripped her gaze from Penny chasing Zeke and pointed towards Lucas, who had melted cheese on his pants as he tried figuring out where they were coming from, with the dripping spoon in his hand.

       "And that's yours." She teased back.

       Zeke ran in front of us and slipped on an area of wet floor that was missed while mopping. He landed flat on his butt and his face contorted to sheer pain. "This is like the time Dawn kicked me in the nuts." He groaned.

       I laughed and helped him up, after carefully waking up to him.

       "Thanks, Dawn."

       I looked around and saw discarded carrot slices all over the floor and a dented carrot, was this supposed to be our meal?

       Lucas clapped his hands and all our head turned. "Voila!" And he presented the Mac N Cheese he was cooking to us. "Macaronis au Fromage."

We all walked towards the dining table that was placed off the side of the kitchen while Penny grabbed plates for us all, Mandy and I sat next to each other on the circle table as Penny came and took the seat placed next to her.

Lucas came behind me and dropped a dollop of his creation on the plate. I looked at the bright orange color and back to him. "It's Kraft." He said and I simply nodded.

Zeke took the seat next to mine and began devouring the meal in front of him. While Mandy and Penny were being the obnoxiously adorable couple and feeding each other bites of it. Lucas sat down In front of me and looked at me expectantly. "Try it." He said with a smile.

I brought a forkful to my mouth and ate through it fast. "It tastes better than burnt Mac, I'll give you that."

He smiled and nodded. "I'll take that."


Jeannes POV:

Two weeks. Two damn weeks I had spent down here in this musty damp dungeon, with no one other than the blue-eyed man to keep me company.

I banged my head against the metal bars. "I WANT OUT!" I yelled to no one in particular.

A dark chuckle was heard from the cell adjacent to me. "Don't hurt yourself, I need you alive for my plan."

My head crinkled. "What plan?"

"It's really simple. You want the crown, I want the bitch wearing it."

"Dawn?" I asked. "What do you want with that human?"

He shrugged, "She's a good fuck. Plus before I was thrown in here I heard her old man had a hefty reward out for her."

I laughed, "You planned this all out?" And he stuck his head in view. "Dumbass how do you plan on getting out of here?"

"Trust me, I'll find a way."
