I woke up and looked at a watch, it was 3am i got up and looked at a sleeping Olive. I stood up and walked out the room and down the hall as quiet as possible and into the kitchen.

"Where is everything" I whispered to myself and grabbed a glass and filled it with water while making a cheese sandwich. As i was making the sandwich i heard a creek in the floor board in the hall. I turned around and tried to hide but then someone came into the kitchen.

It was Enoch! "What are you doing up?" He said and walked in not looking at me "i could ask you the same thing" we haven't talked at all since i got here and after what happened with Horace's dream made things worse "couldn't sleep" he sounded sarcastic and he finally looked at me "same"

I turned and looked at him "soooo.. about Horace-" "Don't even mention it" he cut me off before i could finish my sentence, i nodded and ate my sandwich "want one?" I said hoping to break the silence "sure" he said sarcastically.

I began making a sandwich for him "so what's your peculiarity? Enoch is it?" "Yea whatever, i can raise the dead" he had a Scottish accent that was surprisingly calming to listen to..WAIT Y/N STOP, i mentally slapped myself. "Thats pretty cool" i smiled "what's yours?" He said sounding like he didn't care.

"uh well i can like control people with my mind" he raised an eyebrow being intrigued "how exactly?" "I don't really know how it works" i said while handing him the sandwich "okay" he sounded more interested than his usual sarcastic self, i smiled and he quickly went back to his sarcastic self "thanks for the sandwich" he said and he smiled at me sarcastically and walked off to bed.

I cleaned up everything and was surprised that Enoch actually spoke to me, sure it was only about my peculiarity I expected him to ignore me i smiled and walked back to bed.
