My Inner peace.

Cooking with Daemos CHAPTER 8

Ella

"Princess Ella, do you know anything about koo-king?" Rhys asked, looking my way.

"Now that I think about it, not really." I scrunched my eyebrows together, why do I only know how to make cereal and toast?

"Oh but I have an idea! Bring the boys out here please!" I smiled at Rhys as he went to retrieve the rest of the boys.

"What do you want, prisoner." Asch commanded, he may be really hotheaded but he means the best.

"Well, I want to teach you all how to cook- but since I don't know how to cook either, we'll learn together!" I nodded to myself, grabbing different ingredients and pots and pans.

"Okay, so for the main meal, Rhys and Leif will be learning how to make spaghetti." I looked up at Rhys, trying to tell him through my eyes to keep an eye on Leif.

He nodded, somehow understanding my request. I smiled at him, "No problem, I'll do my best." Rhys agreed.

"Huh, your best? No we'll be the best at cooking!" Leif growled, taking out his knives and waving them around. Rhys of course started telling him to calm down.

"Okay next is dessert! Since I have a sweet tooth... I kind of want to do this, so-"

"Me! Pick me!" Noi beamed, waving his hand in the air.

I laughed at the overly excited Noi, "Okay I guess that's settled, Noi and I will make the dessert." I looked at Pierce and Asch.

That combination might be a little too dangerous.

"Pierce and Asch, you guys get to choose who's group you want to be in! Since you guys are the only ones who behave." I smiled, it's not a complete lie, they do get to choose which group they go to.

"I'll go to Rhys's team, he already knows the basics of this koo-king." Asch said proudly, making his way over.

Pierce just silently walked over to my group, I smiled. "Okay! Since Rhys knows how to read, here." I handed him a recipe book that was opened to the spaghetti recipe.

"Let's get to cooking!" I smiled, readying myself for a wonderful meal.

"AVA THE STOVES ON FIRE!" I yelped, the boys formed a protective circle around me, their weapons were out and pointed to the stove.

"How dare you try and hurt Princess Ella!" Noi growled at the stove.

"G-guys, I'm fine- we need to put out the fire!" I spoke frantically.

I moved to a bucket that Ava and I kept for mopping. I filled it up with water and threw it on the stove.

"Ella! Are you okay? What happened?"  Ava came bursting through her room doors with a gallon of water in hand.

"I got it!" I said sheepishly, lifting my hand and pointing to the crisp stove behind me.

"O-oh my god, what happened to the stove?!" Ava shouted in shock.

"We we're trying to make you a meal and..."

"No you idiot! You put it in with the bowl!" Leif exclaimed. I shook my head at the whole ordeal, I continued trying to make my spaghetti.

"Okay now set the time." Rhys motioned to the stove,

"Right." Asch pressed down on random numbers on the stove, "There, done."

Rhys looked at the time, "30 minutes... is that how it looks like on the stove?" He investigated and then left it, the number read '50:30' the ovens setting was also on 'cook' and not 'bake' they also, put the spoon they were using in the oven.

All while I was making spaghetti. Completely unaware, I walked over to the oven after five minutes, finally ready to put my pasta on the stove.

That didn't happen, instead, the entire stove lit up into flames as I was two feet away, Leif dragged me away from the fire just in time, pulling me into their protective circle.

"Oh." Ava sat on a chair, staring at the stove and then back at us, "we need a new stove..." She mumbled to herself.

"I'm sorry Ava, I should've payed more attention to t-"

"No, you were just having fun and doing something with good intent, there's no way you would've known that something like this would've happened." She explained, giving me a warm smile.

I gave her a small smile, throwing myself on her and hugging her, "Thank you for forgiving me, I think I can get us a stove!" I beamed, she tilted her head,

"Okay, that solves the stove problem!" She sighed, looking at the boys,

"Thanks for taking care of her," Ava looked at the guys with relief.

"It's not a problem, Princess Ava." Rhys gracefully showed his formalities.

"Tch, don't get the wrong idea, we only protect her because we need her." Asch scoffed, looking away with a pink tint on his cheeks.

I felt myself smiling, Asch has an odd way of expressing his feelings.

I let my head fall a little, "Okay." I saw in the corner of my eyes, Asch shifting where he was sitting.

"Asch manners!" Ava scolded him, I heard them argue for a while, I got off of Ava's lap and sat on the couch's armchair.

I let my eyes wander the room, looking over to the TV, then outside the window.

Now that I think about it.

Ever since the daemos showed up, I haven't thought about them.

I hope it stays this way.
