The Kindness of Humans

Readers Point of View

After last night, I was able to sleep surprisingly well. As of lately, I've always had uneasy feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach, living with the Daemos. However, slowly but surely, I'm getting used to them being around—
"Ugggggh..."
A loud groan echoing throughout our small apartment, quickly cut my thoughts off.
I may have spoken too soon.
Quickly rushing out of my room, I followed the sounds of the continuing groans, soon enough I found myself in Ava's room and watched as she continued to toss and turn.

"Ava?" I questioned, looking down at her red eyes, dark bags under her eyes, and dead expression on her face. "Hey, are you okay?"
"I haven't gotten any sleep..." She said.
"Why?"
Of the two of us Ava is the best at sleeping. She can do it day or night for hours and hours, it's almost unheard of for her to not be able to sleep. However, the reason soon explained itself as Pierce suddenly opened the door, abruptly coming into Ava's room.
"The sun has risen." He said.
"I haven't gotten any sleep." Ava groaned.
"But you said you'd take us out." Pierce said.
"I can't do that without sleep. It's how I get my energy." Ava explained.
"Hm, that explained why you are so strong, you sleep a lot." Pierce noted. "Why don't you sleep?"
"I've been woken up so much, I can't sleep." She explained.
"Maybe this will help..." Pierce said, walking over towards Ava and gently placed a hand on Ava's head, slowly rubbing it. She didn't stop him, but instead quietly muttered incomprehensible words and closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep.
Smiling at his actions, I quietly walked over beside him, whispering,
"You're very kind."
I watched him go wide eyed at the word kind, almost as if he hasn't heard of it before.
"I promise we'll still go out later. For now let her get some sleep." I smiled.
"Okay." He said.

Soon enough, I walked out of Ava's room, trusting Pierce enough to take care of her for a couple hours before checking the time myself and noticing it was five in the morning.
"Ugh— I'm gonna need to make coffee before leaving." I muttered to myself. Suddenly I heard someone moving around in the living room, and in front of me Rhys appeared.
"What are you doing? You don't wake up, until later in the day." He said.
"I didn't realize what time it was, I was going to make a coffee and some food for everyone before Ava wakes up." I explained.
"You're going to cook?" He asked, excitedly.
"I cook quite often." I smiled, grabbing the box of eggs from the fridge.
"May I help?" He asked.
"You want to help me?" I questioned a little shocked.
"I've been interested in this activity you call cooking. I want to learn more." Rhys explained.
Out of all the boys Rhys is the one who enjoys learning new things. So far he's been the only one to figure out how to put on his human clothes, and has been the only one to want to learn more.
"Sure, I don't mind you helping." I smiled showing him how to cook scrambled eggs and toast.

Cooking with Rhys went shockingly well, he followed instructions well and allowed me to help when needed.
"We did it!" I smiled.
"We are already finished?" Rhys asked, watching as I walked over towards the cupboards and grabbed plates for everyone.
"Eggs and toast don't take very long to cook, it would have been even faster if we weren't making so much food for everyone." I explained. "There is much more difficult and time consuming things to cook, if we both have time maybe I can help show you some other things."
"You would do that, with me?" Rhys questioned.
"As long as you don't try to kill me, then sure why not." I smiled.
Slowly the Daemos began to gather around, staring at the food.
"What is this?" Leif asked.
"It smells so good!!" Noi added.
"This is what humans call, cooking. It's an art of turning different ingredients into something people can eat, this is the first level, however, you can slowly progress to more difficult recipes once you gain enough knowledge." Rhys explained the Daemos what cooking was, although he made it sound much more magical than it truly is.
