Chapter 36 

I waited, thinking someone was coming in, but I heard whoever it was moved back to their room. Rubbing my arms at the coldness of the room, I made my way to the fireplace to see if I could light it. Kneeling in front of it, I got a sense of deja -vu, which sent a shiver down my spine and made me glance a t the door.

No one came in and I turned back to the fireplace. I looked for the flint and started trying to get the fire going. Stacking the kindling in and some wood. Just as I was almost about to attempt to light it. I heard the door. My heart skipped a beat as it unlocked, and Kalen stepped inside.

He looked upset as he carried a tray in his hands. The smell of hot food wafted to my nose, and a few seconds later, Darius walked in behind him. He tossed at fireball at the fireplace, and I jumped when it rushed past me before he sat down in the chair.

“Can’t she stay in our room just for tonight?” Kalen pouted at

him.

“I prefer to be in here,” I told Kalen before Darius could answer. Kalen dropped his head and walked over to me while Darius moved to sit on the small armchair in front of the fire. Kalen placed the tray in my lap.

“You should eat,” He said, and my stomach growled hungrily as I looked down at the plate, which contained vegetables and some steak. Real food, and it smelt delicious. Yet when I went t o take the knife off Kalen to dig in, the plate was removed from me along with the knife. I sighed before looking at Darius, who then cut up the meat, and I rolled my eyes and looked over at the fire.

“Seriously, Darius,” Kalen whined at him. Darius ignored him before handing the plate back to me but keeping the knife. I took it from him, feeling like a child that I wasn’t even allowed to use a knife like an average person. He placed the knife on his lap.

“She could do just as much damage with a damn fork, can’t believe,” My fork was suddenly plucked from my fingers,
