Me again, in this chapter I used italics to show that Kate's just dreaming I also change point's of view so be ready and let me know what you think!

Kate's POV:

We stopped to get groceries and then made our way to their place. It was a small place considering it now had four residents but overall it was cozy and pretty clean. We set down all of the brown paper bags filled with groceries on the counter.

"Hey Nic." Worrick tapped Nic's shoulder getting his attention. "I'm gunna show Kate around and help her settle in, you put up the groceries." Nic just grunted as Worrick turned towards me.

"Alrighty Kate, Alex sleeps on this couch so you can take that one." He pointed to the couch that was closer to the windows. "And this is my room", he pointed to the room that connected to the living room, "and down the hallway we have Nic's room on the right and the bathroom on the left."

He opened the bathroom door and proceeded to show me how the shower worked. "Now if the water gets too cold just call me in and I'll happily warm you up." He flirted, I smiled and hit him. "Jackass." I chuckled.

"And the first aid kit is in here, but if you have a problem come to me or Nic first, we're pretty good at patching things up. Speaking of lets see that nasty cut you got." I lifted my shirt like I'd done earlier when Nic asked to see. "Hmm, yeah it looks like he dug it into you but when he got scared he jerked it, tearing it deeper rather than just taking it out. Damn." Worrick cleaned it up a bit and then led me out.

"Did you wanna change before you start cooking?" Alex asked as we came back into the living room. "Yeah I'd like to but this is all I've got." I shrugged, it didn't bother me much, as long as they were relatively clean then I was fine.
     Worrick rubbed his chin. "Well tomorrow we can run into town and get you somethings, but for now I've got an old shirt of mine that's a little small, though it'll probably still be big."

"Hey whatever you got is better than this." I pointed to my blood stained white shirt. Worrick disappeared into his room and sighed. "Well I guess I got rid of it. Nic, you have anything she could wear for now?" He asked, probably because Nic was a few inches shorter than Worrick and his shirts would fit me better. Nic grunted and disappeared into his room.

Nic came back with a plain black t-shirt that ended up reaching the top of my thighs. I looked like a bum with my shorts and a big t-shirt but hey they were clothes and they were clean.

I started on dinner after that and everybody else sat in the living room and talked. I made a soup of sorts with little broth and a lot of vegetables and meat. It was something my mom used to make for me all the time. Once I was almost done Nic came over to the kitchen and stood beside me.

So I put down the spoon and asked "do you wanna taste it?" He looked surprised that I'd even asked. I saw his face flush and he scratched the back of his neck nervously then nodded yes. I gathered a spoonful and held my other hand under it so it didn't drip on the floor.

After he took a bite he sighed loudly. "It's really good. Where'd you learn to cook?" I blushed putting the spoon back and smiled. "My mom taught me." He didn't say anything just grabbed a bowl as I called for Worrick and Alex to come and get some.

Apparently I was a fairly good cook because everyone went for seconds. After we'd finished the pot and everybody was full Worrick said he had a long day and was ready to go to bed, Alex went to take a shower, and I got ready to do the dishes. Before I got the sponge wet Nic asked "do you need help?" I smiled and told him that if he wanted to help he could dry.
