Emperor's Pet

Brendan & Samuel

Cassandra and I exited the closet for her to show me the ropes. It's quite a lot to remember compared to Gardening and cooking. You have to use the right bottle of liquid and spray on things to wipe it down. Trash duty isn't fun either it stinks like death! Laundry makes me nervous because it involves measuring and loading. The loading takes measuring too, but I could break it by doing so. Which is exactly what we are doing now. As we work Cassandra tells me what I want to know. She was from the Lunar Pack which really threw me off. By her dark hair and daring eyes that could kill. I ponder how that is due to River Wolves having mostly light colored fur. As for our pack we mostly have brown furred wolves. The Moon Howler Pack was once an all grey wolf called the Silver Howler. Now it's just a mix of all three packs into that one.

Cassandra grabs the red trousers from my hands,"How many times do I have to tell you. Don't put the colored with the whites",she shoved them in a different washer. I chucked a pair of boxers at her face. She tumbled backward and pulled it off her face. Her expression made my smile run off my face and my laughter stops.

"Run", she glowered, clinching the boxers in her hand. I didn't hesitate to do so and she ran after me. Cassandra came after me yelling threats while I just laughed. Making my way out of the laundry room and running up the hall.

"Akira!" She calls, but I keep pushing forward. She dramatically waves her hands for me to slow down. I know this trick, Xavier would do it all the time to win.

"You can't stop me that easily!", I holler over my shoulder. I looked in front of me seeing a cart being push around the corner. Obviously too late to stop and wasn't thinking. I attempt to jump the cart nearly making it. Though my foot caught the side of the cart causing it to tip and go everywhere. The noise of Cassandra laughing and a guys voice complaining about the cart. I groan and flip over on my back. My elbow burned from scrapping it on the solid floor. I sit up to check out the mess I've made. Why am I so reckless?, I thought and sighed.

"This is why you're not my friend", A small voice says. I crane my neck up revealing a little boy wearing a butler outfit.

"Samuel?" I itch my head,"When did you get here?"

"I was passing through until you ram into our cart. You're such a dingus", he poked my forehead with his index finger. My face goes glum at his mean words and think of what a 'dingus' is. Cassandra leans against the wall listening to the guy's complaints. Well I don't think she was listening, but something close to that. I push myself up and walk over to her.

"You need to behave yourself, Cassandra! Your anger is going to get you put in the dungeon!" The guy scolded, picking up the mess. She sunk back further in the wall and ignored his lecture. So she does have friends here?

"Um, hello, I'm Akira. I'm Cassandra's friend", I held out my hand to him. But, he just stood there and busted into obnoxious laughter. He pretended to wipe a fake tear off his cheek with his finger.

"Cassandra having a friend is comedy gold", he slung his arm around her,"If she did have one of those I'd be falling over dead in shock"

She grabs his arm and slings him over her shoulder throwing him away like paper. I swore that a vein in her forehead was going to explode. I'm not really suprised at this. From the looks of her she could be an assassin.

"Will you shut up already!", she stood over him,"It's not like you have friends either, Brendan!"

He ached getting up,"Was that necessary? Also I do have one friend!", Brendan crawls over to Samuel hugging his legs,"He actually sees me as a person!"

"Get off me, Weirdo!" Samuel struggles to shove him off. Cassandra grabs the back of his shirt and drags him away from Samuel.

"Let's go back to work, Akira", Cassandra pops her knuckles. She goes to take off, but Brendan grabs her arm.

"Oh, no you don't. You've got a mess to pick up", his voice serious. She jerks away from his grip narrowing her eyes at him.

"I'm not picking up shit", she swore hastily. Brendan bares his teeth in a sexual smile and growls playfully.

"I love it when you get hateful", he winked. The sight of this makes me cringe so badly. What is wrong with this guy? Samuel just stood by and watched them like it was normal. Could it be they know each other in some way? Cassandra cheeks turn a light shade of pink. She closed her eyes and shake her head. Taking a few steps away to create a gap between them.

"Brendan, we have to get back to delivering supplies and restocking", Samuel tugged on his black vest. I look back at the cart everything scattered throughout the hall.

"I'll clean up the mess. It is mostly my fault anyway", I volunteered. It's better to get used to be a cleanser now than later on. Also I did start this in the first place with underwear. Everyone pitched in and collected everything that was on the cart. Seems that they all became friends here when they met. Brendan comes from the Lunar Pack and has been here for two months. For Samuel....he doesn't remember his past. All he can remember is waking up in a small white room. The way he describes it sounds like the room I woke up in. But I still have my memory. Why?

"What's going on here?" A voice echoed through the halls. In sync, we all look up alarmed and startled. The horrid vamp stands tall with confidence. His eyes a crimson red that gives the looks of death. A curse placed upon you when your eyes make contact with this demon's. The message reading... trouble has been brought upon you.
