Cursed

Chapter 12

They went through the door to the house and saw a tired Jessie, an annoyed and concerned Eman, Holly and Paulie eating breakfast and John and Tiffany being... well, John and tiffany.

 "Hey guys, Sofia you hungry?" Paulie asked holding up the cereal box. 

"Nope, Lenny was my chef today." Sofia replied and Paulie John and Eman all looked up snickering.

"Lenny cooking? For anyone but himself? That's a first." John said smirking.

Lenny growled rolling his eyes. "I fried her an egg, big deal." He turned from the others.

"Wait... Why can you guys eat normal food... but you still have to like, eat blood and people and stuff." Tiffany asked, twirling her hair.

"Because we like to eat normal food because it still tastes the same and we do get hungry... but it doesn't help us survive. Our bodies need different food to humans to survive." Eman said, licking his fangs at her, making Tiffany gasp and squeal into John's shirt.

"Soooo, what are we all doing today?" Lenny asked.

"Eh, I don't know... Me and Holly were gonna.." Holly elbowed Paulie in the stomach, hard, making Paulie gasp and bend over. "Do nothing... Lets go..." Paulie finished sounding winded. Paulie put his empty bowl in the sink and headed up stairs with Holly, rubbing his stomach. They were whisper arguing together up the stairs.

"Okayyy, thats a bit weird..." John said getting up.

"Yeah... The'yre just bonding though." Jessie said, waving it off. 

"Well, I was gonna show her something the kids used to do for fun back in Orange." Eman turned to Jessie and winked at her. Jessie gulped visibly.

"Well,Tiffany was going to try on all her clothes, and give what doesn't fit to the girls." John said, hugging Tiffany. "You're so generous." Tiffany smiled in agreement, as if she were doing them the biggest favour.

"Yes, because we're in desperate need of Tiffany's hand me downs." Jessie muttered. Tiffany loomed over all the girls. She was half an inch taller than John without heels, and when she wore heels - which was all the time - her head shot up over all the boys, and she honestly thought it would be a good deed to help them by giving them her fab clothes, rather than them being stuck with their hideous outfits. 

"Well... It wouldn't hurt to look a little bit more presentable for your captors." Tiffany shot back, smoothing down her flirty skirt and lacy top. 

Both Jessie and Sofia looked down at their clothes: Jeans and shirts, and looked back up.

"It really doesn't matter that much." Len replied curtly, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah... Sooo, what are the plans for today?" Emman asked, twiddling his thumbs.

"I say we all bond separately a bit more." John said thoughtfully. They were all getting sidetracked from the whole curse situation, and obviously at least one of the captives didn't love their captor yet, so bonding was obviously needed.

"Okay then... Jessie, its time to show you what the country boys did for fun." Eman said, tugging her arm.

"I... I don't know if I can do this." Jessie looked nervously.

"Trust me, with my experience, you can't go wrong." Emman reassured her.

"But its so big and dangly!" Jessie said, grabbing it with two fingers and waving it from side to side.

"Stop it! Now, just squeeze and pull. Thats it! Good! Are you sure you haven't done this before?" Eman asked, as Jessie milked the cow. They had travelled roughly 20 kilometres to a farm, and had snuck into the barn. Jessie was not impressed. Eman went out of his way to impress her by taking her to a farm? To milk a cow!?
