I slid out of bed and dragged the blanket with me. yawning, I walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower.

I stepped out of the shower wrapping the towel around me then went back into my bedroom and sat on my bed and began to read the news paper.

It was all the same, the mayors disappearance, the maniax, how Jim is going to find uh blah blah blah, all the boring stuff.

I yawned and threw the newspaper behind me not caring where it lands.

Sophie walking in and tells me that breakfast is ready then leaves.

I sigh and throw on the first thing that comes into sight, which was a pair of black leggings and a plain white t shirt.

I walk downstairs and am greeted by the boys playing with all sorts of weapons. I wasn't going to bother until I seen a sword practically calling my name.

Grinning I walking over to the weapon filled box and pull it out. "Hello beautiful" I mumble.

Robert comes and slides the it out of the case. I frown and stomp my foot "give that back!". "Nah" he swings the sword around. I look over at Jerome, he's smiling watching the scene unfold in front of him.

"Robert. I'm am not going to fight with you. Just give it back and nobody has to get hurt" I put my hand up in the air.

"Nah" he says not moving his sight from the weapon in front of him.

"Fine" I say take a step towards him making him tun his head.

I knee him in the stomach causing him to drop the sword. I pick it up and grin "Thank you."

Jerome comes over stand in front of me smiling creepily. "What?" I narrow my eyes. "That's a nice sword you got there" his expression doesn't chance.

"I know it is"

"Be a shame if someb-" he cut himself off by grabbing the sword from my hands. "Jerooome" I groan. He laughs annoying loud.

"Give it back!"

"Nah" he says, mimicking Robert causing me to laugh but quickly stopping myself turning back to my serious face.

"I'll give it back if" he stops and smiles "if you say I'm the boss." I cross my arms and raise my eyes brows which clearly told him that was not happening. He got what I was saying. "You don't get the sword then."

"Jerome your not being fair I swear to god I'm in going to-"

"That's enough!" Theo's voice booms. Jesus that gnome came out of no where. "He started it!" I point to Jerome who acts shocked. "What?!" He says innocently.

Theo rolls his eyes and pulls out a revolver from his pocket. "Wow jeez Theo, Jerome can have it I don't care anymore" I say putting my hands up.

Theo smirks and removes all the bullets from the gun, only leaving one. I caught onto what he was getting to and clapped my hands, "I love this game!" I squeal.

"I presume you both know this game" he says waving the revolver around. "Love it" we both say at the same time. I giggle. Theo holds out the gun, "well who wants to be the boss?"

I look to Jerome. "Lady's first" he smirks. "I know, that's why I was waiting for you to take it" I smile sarcastically before taking the gun from Theo's hand and holding the gun up to my head And pulling the trigger. Nothing.

Jerome frowns. "Hm Katie, what's the secret to good comedy?" He takes the gun from hand and holds it up to his head as pulling the trigger. Nothing. I put my hand out expecting him to hand me the gun but he looks me straight in the eye and continues.

"What what courage?" He places the gun to his cheek.

Click.

Nothing.

"Grace under pressure" he finishes.

He places the gun under his chin and gives me the most serious look. "Who the boss?" He pulls the trigger

Click

Nothing.

"I'm the boss" he says, his voice coming out raspy.

"I believe you are Jerome...I believe you are.." Theo says intrigued.

Jerome takes the sword from my hand, I do t fight back I jus stare at him.

".Okay what the fuck was that? Do you have a death wish or something?" I raise my voice a little. I stares at me confused like a child who's being shouted at for breaking a vase. "What do you mean?" He says innocently. "You just-you just- ugh!" I groan out of frustration.

"Katie, your the one who wanted to play" Theo says. "Yeah well nobody asked for your fucking opinion Theo" I snap. "Katie don't be a sore looser" Jerome laughs. "Oh fuck off" I say and walk out of the dining room heading back up to my room.
