Raven got to know Mandy a little more as the young girl opened up to her. The teen thought there was something in Raven's eyes that she could trust. Since she's been here, the notorious Beast was the only one that she'd encountered that didn't beat the crap out of her.

'I feel like I can trust her, but I know I've heard the name Raven before.'

"So is it too sensitive of a subject to tell me about your parents. I've heard that you were raised by your dearly departed grandmother."

"Yeah, so my mom was heavy on drugs when I was a very small child. My dad was in prison way before I was born, and I guess he got out on bail long enough to knock her up. My nana told me that he was much older than my mom, maybe about fifteen years or so, and he died from a heart attack awaiting his trial for drug dealing and second-degree murder.

Nana wouldn't tell me, but I concluded that mom was one of his regular customers, and when she didn't have the money to pay for her heroin, she paid him with sex, and I'm the result of that transaction, I guess. Well to make a long story short, when my mom died from an overdose, my nana came after me, and I've been with her since I was four."

"So was your mom your grandmother's daughter?"

"Yeah. Sheila, that's her name, my mom... ran away from home when she was seventeen, and nana didn't see her until she came to identify her body. Nana didn't even know I existed until the social workers contacted her about me."

"Wow... I'm so sorry to hear that. Was she good to you, your mother?"

"Yeah, for the most part. She was never mean to me, but slowly she preferred her drugs over feeding me. For the longest time she would just give me bread, but I didn't mind. I always looked at it like, at least I had that. Some kids in similar situations didn't even have that."

"So you've had a positive outlook on life at a very young age, that's great Mandolin." She smiled and I thought she was amazingly beautiful!

"You can call me Mandy, if you want." I said and then our food came. There were three covered plates with a tantalizing aroma seeping out beneath them. I wondered who the third plate was for, but that didn't matter... I'm famished! I can eat all three of them with how hungry I am!

"I want you to modify this plate. My other protégé will need her meat ground to a mechanical soft consistency. Also have the potatoes mashed, and the green beans please, thank you. By the way, what's taking so long for the medical personal to bring her to me?" She said, and I saw the submission by these huge burly men.

What!

She so much smaller than the two, and she had them shaking in their boots. I like her, she's seems to be so cool!

'The Beast is cool!'

But I do have to wonder, why did she pick me? What is she planning to do with me! I'll figure that out later, after I demolish this food.

I'm soooo hungry!

"As you wish Beast." One dude beckoned, then the other placed our silver covered plates on the pub table that was in her room, put an orchid flower as the centerpiece, then produced wine glasses, poured her some sort of red colored wine, and me grape juice.
