Picture Perfect Love

Chapter 8- Sweet Revenge

Lucian didn't know why Kennedy asked for the supplies she did, he just prayed he never got on her bad side like that. He shuddered thinking about how easily she manipulated him into doing her bidding. It was as easy as breathing to her! The twins were scared shitless, wondering when she would initiate her counter-attack and Lucian couldn't blame them. He knew she wasn't planning on actually hurting the poor boys, well he hoped anyways.

Kennedy opened the bag of Jolly Ranchers and unscrewed the twins' shower head. She carefully placed a couple inside before screwing it back on as if nothing happened. Now, when they showered after a long day, they'd only succeed in making themselves super sticky.

That wasn't all in her arsenal of tricks though. No, she had put itching powder in their boxers, unscented so their delicate noses wouldn't pick up on the scent, hair dye in the shampoo bottle, rigged the door to drop honey on them when opened and glitter and feathers on the top of the ceiling fan blades. She knew they wouldn't think twice about the smell of honey because that was Jerry's natural scent he gave off. Sweet like sugar, but bad for their luck today.

She debated on putting a mask on and hiding in the closet, but didn't want to risk seeing one of them naked getting out of the shower or getting attacked accidentally. Now all she had to do was sit back and wait. Mina was scheduled to bring them back anytime from a tour of the grounds before dinner, so hopefully that'd work.

She was sitting in the living room, waiting patiently when the motley crew walked in. Benjamin went straight to the bathroom to shower while Jerry went to his bedroom to get clothes for his shower she assumed. His scream made her take off running in that direction in eager anticipation. She stood there laughing seeing the honey had poured all over his head and shoulders and once he flicked the light switch on, the fan automatically came on too. Glitter and feathers flew all across the room, smothering him. He sent a glare over at Kennedy but she just sent a wave in return.

Lucian walked up to the door just in time to see Jerry looking like a cross-dressing chicken, covered in pink and purple feathers and rainbow glitter. He looked like he was going to a costume party and Lucian burst out laughing at the look on his face. Rather than saying anything, he just turned around, collected his clothes and headed towards the now vacant bathroom.

"Amateur," Benjamin remarked after seeing Kennedy's prank on his brother. He thought it was funny to see his brother decorated like that, but knew if that's all she was capable of he would be just fine. He wrapped his towel tighter around his waist and carefully stepped into the bedroom. No messes, this was a good sign, he hoped. He quickly got dressed, wanting to get out of that boobie-trapped room as soon as possible.

Jerry had a hell of a time getting all the honey off his body. He didn't think it should be that complicated, but the more he showered, the stickier he got. He said 'the heck with it' after a while and just got out anyways, some glitter remaining in his hair and went to get dressed.

As he approached the living room, he kept an eye out for anymore of Kennedy's tricks. He sat down cautiously. Nothing happened and he caught the evil glint in Kennedy's eyes across from him. Something was definitely up. Benjamin came walking in the room, looking awfully proud of himself and Kennedy, Lucian and Jerry all had to do a double-take once they spotted him.

His hair, from the thick mane on his head, to the smaller ones on his legs were dyed hot pink. They couldn't help laughing hysterically, tears leaking out their eyes.

"What the hell is so funny?" he asked.

Lucian shot up from his seat growling. He knew it was out of nervousness, but he didn't appreciate the tone of his voice, or the way he'd cursed in front of his mate.
