ZACK POINT OF VIEW

"Wake up! We need to figure out what our next plans are!" Grudgingly they woke up every step of the way shooting daggers at me.

You never want to wake those two up, but yet again I don't care about their feelings or lack of beauty sleep we got her right where we want her to be, and now we need to...form a plan.

"What do you want?" Zeke questioned, annoyance behind it all.

"Don't you dare speak to me like that! Let me remind you I'm the one who distracted your opponents on the Chosen Day, while challenging my opponent, which is extremely hard may be in impossible for others. I saved you guys on the Chosen Day so you can be sent here to help me. So get up, and help me!" Now they sit up aware, hints of fear was shown from both of them.

Glad we're on the same page.

"You mean with Emma? Yeah, we got it, though she isn't that bad..." Zeth started, but decided not to finish.

Oh that's the worst thing you could've said right now.

"Not that bad as in what? She worst or..."

"She's not that bad as in not that bad. She may a hero and all, but let's not forget she saved your life, and ours." Zeke finished confident.

"Oh, I see we're not on the same page. So I need you guys to come back to reality, and help me figure out how we can destroy her!" I shouted so loud they both jumped up for a second fear covered their eyes, but was quickly covered with faceless expressions.

"Okay, boss, what exactly did you have in mind?" Zeke asked.

Glad someone asked!

"We got her right where we want her to be. We need to gain her trust. We need her to trust us, as for Jacob he's just another side player. Once we gain her trust we'll be able to figure out her past, which is the key to figuring out how we can destroy her, and her family name. Though Jacob does know something we don't know, and I have a feeling he's gone soft for her." At this point we all started laughing.

Look whose got feelings now.

"Of course we'll get him to talk if it means saving Emma." Zeke replied.

"I like where you thinking he obviously cares about her or he wouldn't have helped her with whatever she's facing. He wouldn't be specifically if he didn't care to help her so we obviously got something going here. He would probably do anything for her now that I think about it. We need them to stay here with us for a while have them actually create stronger feelings for each other. We also need them to trust us. So get up, and make the best food you can imagine."

They immediately scrabble up, and leave the room.

Stronger feelings for each other, huh?

Perfect.

JACOB POINT OF VIEW

I woke up to the smell of food. I don't know what it is, but it smells amazing...that means Zeke cooking.

I stretch out to find I was in the bed? Who moved me?

I look across to see Emma sleeping on the two chairs one supporting her upper body, while the other was for her legs to rest on.

Snap, she got me to sleep in the bed.

I walk over, and carry her to the bed. She doesn't even stir one bit. Man she's dead tired, why did I give in to the bed?

I mean it's comfortable, but those chairs actually have cushion in them.

I'll say they're about equal, but the bed firm to help her with her injuries.

That's what Zack told me anyway.

I would do anything to go out, and eat something, but I don't want to leave Emma alone either.

I look over to see a bookshelf full ancient books, and in a different language. Unknown language I never seen that before.

Why in a different language? Do they even know what it's saying?

Emma immediately wakes up happy.

Why is she happy?

"Emma you're sort of freaking me out here. Why are you so happy?" I asked as she laughs it off. She throws the covers away from her, and practically skips to the door.

I hurry over to block the door, luckily I made in time. She looks over at me annoyed.

What did I do?

"Your not hungry? Well, you know what I am, and I would be happy beyond anything if I could eat anything hopefully not poison."

Well, yeah hopefully.

"It depends whose cooking, Zack is horrible, awful, deadly cook. When I say deadly I mean deadly for us. One time I ate his plate of cookies he made I almost died my fever was to 103 for a whole week straight." She looks over at me considering what's at stake here.

"I'll take my chances." She replied certain, and she shoves me aside, and opens the door the smell of food immediately hits us making my mouth water with delight.

Yay, Zeke cooking.

"Where the kitchen?" She asked getting excited to eat something.

To be honest I am too. The last time she ate was those poisonous berries, and the last time I ate was anything before that incident.

Yeah, we didn't bring enough food.

"Follow me, I know the way." She starts laughing. I turn to look at her, and she immediately stands up straight trying to act serious, but the smile still there.

"Yes sir!" She replied giving a mock salute.

"At ease!" I say sending the salute back as she puts her hands behind her back. We immediately break out laughing.

We're such goofballs.

We continue walking making several tight turns.

"How did they find a house so huge? It's like an mansion." Emma concludes looking at the portraits as she passes by.

Why do they have so much creepy portraits?

"I have no idea how they found it, but they must have found it when we started our journey they never told me." For some reason I saw Emma tense up when I said 'they never told me.'

She soon relaxes, but continues walking in silence.

We make a tight right, and we're there on the kitchen immediately smelling the food. I see Zeke with an white apron covering his front. The apron itself is covered with white flour, and different spices.

Thank you for having Zeke be the cook!
