The Demon Within

Chapter 13

Jessica POV

We finish making the food and Ned went up and got Scott and dad.

"The food looks great!" Scott and dad say in unison.

"The boys did the chicken I did the Mac and cheese."

"Well who knew that Ned could cook?" Scott say.

"Oh he can't." I say.

"What of course I can!" Ned yells.

We all burst out laughing.

We all sit at the table Ned sits by dad on his right and Scott's at the head of the table. Zeke is by Scott and I'm on zekes left.

We laugh and eat as we eat all of the food.

"Alright! I'll see y'all after I'm done finding ms. Mary. Bye!!" Ned says heading to the direction of the computer room,aka his room.

"Jessica, Scott and I will clean up, so you and Zeke can go on upstairs." Dad says taking my plate.
I know what he means.

"Sure dad." I say.

"I'll help real quick, go wait in the living room,ok?" Zeke say. I nod and head to the living room.

I walk in and see the couch and the lamp that I love. Then the picture of the happy family I go and up to it.

I've got to tell Zeke about this dream...it's scary. What if he wants to leave me because it's to dangerous, at least he will be safe. Leaving me? It's not like we're a couple, we're friends. So why does it hurt when I think he will leave? I don't want him to.

"Jess? What you doing in front of that picture?" I hear Zeke and it pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Oh! Uh I just saw them." He walks by them and looks up at them. So do I.

"They look like a happy family, huh?"

"Yeah." Zeke answers short.

"The woman is beautiful, the man is handsome, the little boy there is cute, I feel like I've seen him from somewhere, hey who are they Zeke?"  I ask after going on and on about the people in it.

"My parents."

"Your what?" I'm shocked, is that why I know the little boy.

He points. "My mom, my dad, and...me."

"Oh my gosh! You were so cute as a little kid!" I squealed.

He chuckles, "I suppose"

"But now, you look a lot like your dad, but with your moms eyes."

"Can I ask what happened?"

A few moments of silence and I'm starting to beat my self up in my head until he finally answers.

"They died in a fire. Uncle toke me away before the fire got to me." He says looking down.

I grab his arm and hug it. "I'm sorry"

"It's ok, they were happy." He says looking back up. 

"So why don't we take a seat and you tell me your dream?" Zeke ask with a serious face.

"Ok, sure." I say.
We take our seats on the coat and I begin.
