(Sorry for the late new chapter I'm a big procrastinator, or I'm busy, and here's Edward's POV)

Edward mostly just was thrilled. They wouldn't leave his side or anything. He would take great care of them. Make breakfast, which he made very healthy for them, he even learned how to cook for that reason. Cook lunch and dinner for them. Sometimes he checked on them. Care for them. Even if they hated him dearly. He didn't care. He wanted to keep them safe. Because he couldn't. He couldn't defend them so he didn't let them decide.

Well, it was that bad, to Edward. He would check on them every day. Take care. Did they want this? For someone to take care of them. Because no one else did? Feel wanted. Well, Edward gave it all to them. Even if they hated it. He gave you everything you wanted. Someone to care.

"here's your lunch," Edward said handing the other a plate of sandwiches, chips, and a few cookies. He remembered the cookie on the day they met. So he tried his best to recreate it.

" I tried to recreate that cookie you gave to them the day you met, isn't it romantic? " he said chuckling looking at them to see if he would get a compliment. Just nothing that insults him. He didn't like it.

"It's nice," they said as they took
a bite. They seemed lifeless. like they gave up? He was confused. He didn't like it.

"Are you okay, did you need anything, are you bored?" they said giving reasons he could help with. If they said anything he would do it. Anything.

"Could we play like a game, board game? "They said softly.

"Sure, I have a chess,"

" sure," they said as they smiled which made Edward smile back with excitement.

Edward then got the chessboard and led them to the kitchen on the table. Once set up they started to play. Edward wondered if he should let them win. But he didn't till they complained which they didn't. They just sat there and played and said nothing. Till they asked," I need to go to the bathroom,"

Which Edward did let them. He knew they would never escape. They couldn't. The door was locked up on both sizes. The only one that could open it was Edward himself.

So Edward wait and waited. He looked back as he heard footsteps. Turning around he saw them. They had something in their hand that Edward grabbed out of their hand. A knife? They were trying to stab him. What was the reason? Why?

They looked down in disappointment they felt embarrassed as they got caught. " you were trying to kill me?" Edward asked. "Why."

"I want to escape and you won't let me, so I had to do something," they said as they tried to smile. They seemed weird, not ordinary.

"I can't let you," Edward said as he grabbed onto their hand.

They looked at him. With eyes that they wanted to leave. Edward didn't want them to yet. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to make them happy. So he just hug them. Embrace them. making them just stand there. As the knife dropped. as it did you both kissed. Both of you were confused you didn't know anymore. You both didn't care anymore what happened.
