chapter 10: More than a butchers

A scream should have escaped my throat. Anyone in the right mind would scream at this sight. But instead I stared in fascination. I don't know why I was more intrigued and fascinated than afraid but for some reason I was.

It started by a simple day, that we decided to do some food shopping with. There wasn't much left in the house and Fern also said that Liver owed her cheese, so it was the perfect day to do it.

"I'll get you it calm down" Liver said as Fern was chatting his ear off about how he needs to get her cheese.

"Calm down?! You ate mine last time! I deserve not 1 not 2 but 8 blocks." She answered, her words threatening.

"Yes ma'am" he rolled his eyes and chuckled slightly.

There was something about the way they acted around each other that was sweet, Liver was the idiotic friend but Fern was the responsible one. They were complete opposites but I suppose that's why they were so good for each other. Liver would make her not so serious and she would put him in his place when needed.

"So are we all going?" Lye asked, as it seemed like everyone needed or wanted something.

Fern wanted her cheese, Summer and Zara wanted some cupcakes that apparently they know the perfect baker for, Lye, creed and Blade needed some things for a few meals they wanted to prepare and me, Sadie and Fynn were just happy to tag along and make sure that we got enough for home.

As soon as we arrived we first went to the food market, it was busy and slightly overstimulating but luckily I had the others with me which helped calm me a little.

I could see that Summer's anxiety was almost if not as bad as mine was, but Creed was trying to distract her from it which was adorable.

Whilst we were getting the things we needed which was just some fruit, vegetables, bread, flour, a some other ingredients for things that Lye or the others apparently wanted to make and of course Fern's cheese people kept staring at us like we were the scariest gang to exist, truthfully it was quite unsettling. And what was even worst is anytime I would catch one of them out they would look away in absolute fear, whilst the others just continued to shop completely unbothered by the impossible to ignore eyes.

Eventually when all the main shopping was done and we were finally able to get away from those eyes staring us down. Summer guided us to the bakery. Seeing her slight confidence with it was nice and I could tell that all of us was proud of her.

The bakery was one of the best ones I've ever been in and the owner could have been one of the nicest being's known to man.

There was cakes and cookies and candy and anything else you could think of. It would have been child me's dream to walk in here and I knew child me would have wanted everything on every shelf.

Collecting what was needed and some other treats because it was a temptation that anyone couldn't be able to resist.

As soon as we walked out we were carrying bags and bags of things but it didn't seem like they seemed even close to finishing. I knew it was a big household but I don't think I realised how much stuff we would need to buy for it.

As we walked down to some other place, I heard a gasp and instantly looked up to see Zara pointing to a shop with a beautiful dress that must cost a fortune in it.

"Ooo! That dress is one of the prettiest things I've ever seen!" Zara practically squealed at the sight. I don't know how this woman fitted all these outfits she seemed to want in one closet, only the gods could tell with that one.

"I'll meet you at the restaurant, seems like my darling wants whatever's in there" Creed chuckled, like the fact that Zara wanted a dress like that meant nothing and he would buy a million of them for her if she asked.
