Kept In The Dark (Completed)

Chapter 16

EMMA POINT OF VIEW

Well, I don't see Zack around so that's a good thing.

"Hey, glad you found the place." A voice came from behind me. Zack wraps his arm around me so tight it's  like he's trying to suffocate me. Not to mention his hands feel rough, and tense.

It's okay just stay cool.

Well, he did save me maybe he's changed?

I really don't know anymore. I'm more confused than ever...the fact that I'm staying at a villain's house is saying something.

No, the fact I let a villain help me on this journey is saying something.

Yeah, but I see the good in him. I feel it too. He's not bad.

"Actually, I'm glad Jacob knew where it was." We both looked towards Jacob. I smiled towards him, but he just looks mad towards Zack. I look at Zack smirking back at him, but there was more behind it.

What?

"Who's hungry?" Zeke asked breaking the awkward silence. I immediately shoot forth leaving Zack behind, and head towards Zeke instead.

"What'd you make? It smells amazing!" I notice his cheeks turned a little red as I complemented him.

"Thank you. I made my famous cheese, potato, and sausage casserole. Yeah, I'm still getting use to these types of food so it could turn out really good or really bad. I never made this type of food before we usually just do take out."

Take out? I don't know what that is, but if it involves food I already love it.

Whatever it is it's going into my stomach...it smells so good also looks good too, not to mention sounds good. Everything about it is good.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, but it felt comfortable, and relaxed so that's not Zack. I look over to see Jacob right next to me looking up into Zeke proud smile on his face.

"Please I'm sure whatever you make is music to my stomach." Jacob said, and for some reason I started laughing making everyone stop, and stare at me.

Weirdly enough that made me laugh harder.

"Uh, is she okay? She sounds like she a mad person." Zeth spoked up making us all laugh.

I am mad, that's a fact, but hopefully that's a complement with these guys.

When is being mad ever a complement?

Being mad as in being weird, right?

"Okay, let's try it all together." Zack hands us each a plate.

Someone does a count down from ten, but I couldn't focus on any number except one.

We all ate into it at once, it tasted purely...

Awful!

For the longest time no one talked let alone ate anything. We would all just glance at each other seeing who would make the first move to break the awkward silence.

I was just trying to calm down my stomach it's not cooperating nicely.

We all looked around anywhere, but our food still on stove with two full pans filled with this casserole. There was so much leftovers it could feed at least thirty people.

All this food will go down to waste a tradegy, but protect your stomach first.

I think I'm going to be sick... it was only one bite. One bite!
