Chapter 40-Meat?

The sound difference was astounding, when the door opened the voices basically hit me right in the face. People were talking, yelling singing, music was playing and the kitchen seemed to be alive. I looked to Thomas who seemed unfazed by the voice but I mean from the amount of time he spent with a chainsaw near his ears this was probably paradise.

I could feel the steps creak under my feet but I couldn't hear it. As the two of us turned the corner the scene in front made my smile grow. People were everywhere, having fun, playing games and laughing like there as no tomorrow. Looking at them like this you could never tell that they were cannibals and killed the innocent, no they looked completely normal and sane. Well as sane as any family can be when under the same roof.

"Hey Y/N watch me beat Nubbins!" I look over to see Tex arm wrestling with Nubbins and winning just as I look over.

"Good job Tex, though anyone could beat that crazy fellow." I see him raise his eyebrows and call me over with his hands.

"Okay then, you and I next." I shrug and take Nubbin's seat, placing my arm up and out to arm wrestle. Tex smiles, a genuine one I can tell before doing the same and taking my hand in his. However just as he does so I hear a growl behind me.

"Thomas don't worry I ain't going to take or hurt you're girl." Tex's words were sincere and I saw Thomas walk around to stand at the side of the table and I smiled up at him. reassuring him in whatever way he needed to be.

I put my hand back up and soon Tex and I are back in position for an arm wrestle fight. I see people from the family form a circle around us, watching in wonder if a girl could beat the infamous Tex Sawyer. I was thinking myself, what the hell am I doing? I mean how could I beat him, I would probably get hurt.

I prepare myself as everyone counts down around us and when they shout go my hand hits the table in a second. I mean I didn't expect to win, how could a simple engineer like myself win against almost any man in any physical competition. I heard the woman huff out of disappointment and the men cheer, I laugh out as Tex passes me a cup of beer which I respectfully decline.

I stand and am rushed into the arms of the girls who pull me into the kitchen, not to cook but to save me from the high levels of testosterone. I speak of Thomas's mother a bit more and anyone else who want to speak to me however when I am left alone I slip into memory lane.

---Flashback---

(Realized that I never put a pic of Aaron Alexander, I mean I think I didn't so here)

I look up to my right to see Aaron Alexander, in all his glory. He decided that after three months I should meet his family. From the stories they were sweet and it was small. It was just his mother, father, and dog. He wanted siblings but his parents stopped after him.

"You ready love?"  I nod, linking out arms together, past me never saw the dangers right in from of her. The man that held a power over her, so simple to gain but easier to use and break.

Aaron knocks and soon I meet his parents who seem to love me from the beginning, their warm smiles never left and his father's cooking was perfect. Yes his father cooked and mother worked, inspirational for all women. I mean get yourself a man who cooks for you while your out working.

I was too caught up in the moment, happy to be meeting the supposed man of my dream's parents but the blind bird is bound to crash into a tree.

---Flashback over---

I am pulled, literally into the living room and away from my memories. I see the table has been set and everyone was seated. The food was on the table and looked pretty good. I sat beside Thomas on the left side of the table, beside Tex and in front of Monty. I am passed the veggies, sides and such and I plate what I like but soon the plate of meat reaches me.

"umm?..." Everyone looks at me, their ears somehow focusing on my small voice.

"Oh Y/N dear it's normal meat, we went out and got it for you. We would never force that upon you sweetie." I breath out of relief at Luda's words and take some of the selection of meats, passing it on. The rest of the meal goes well, we laugh, eat, talk and enjoy our time. Before the night is over we all play Pictionary which ends with Thomas trying to be a train and Tex trying to be a ballerina making me forget how to breath due to laughter.

I think this will be fun, yes very fun indeed.
