I looked at the chocolates. Between the fancy boxes, there was a box wrapped in red hearts.  Curiousity took me in. I had quite a feeling that it didn't contain chocolates as the box was too small.  I opened it gently, not wanting to destroy the wrapping. The box held a charm bracelet.  It had a few hearts which were all in blue. It looked beautiful. On the box, there was a letter written. Z in calligraphy.  I knew immediately that this was from Zac.
       Not only that, it also got a few memories etched on my skin, favoured with tradition, love and not to forget pain. I smile softly at the fragile but the most beautiful object tangled between my fingers. Gotta thank him tomorrow. Cause right now l'm very sleepy. Shut the box and went  to sleep.

ASH'S POV

   God, you should have looked at Sexy's face. White! It was worth looking at. When she went to her room, all of us were laughing uncontrollably. Truthfully no one was watching the movie except for her as all of us were busy looking at her reaction. It was just hilarious. The moment it was over, she wanted to go to her room. But she wasn't allowed until she had dinner. Ya, I'm still angry with her for skipping lunch. Made sure she finished everything on her plate. Then she could do whatever she wanted to do.

   Seriously, if she sees us in this condition, she would really call us insane. But right now, I was distracted by own temptation. Temptation so strong. Temptation which held all of us under it's strong control, making us sway to it's command. I don't think I would be able to control it tonight. I opened the refrigerator and took out my drink. I needed it to cool my nerves down.
        "Hey, make sure she doesn't see it."  Zac whispers. His precautions stood strong, making every movement placed carefully. "God, you gotta chill. She is sleeping. I can practically hear her." We all had that one drink which was needed more often since we have a guest in our house who is undoubtedly irresistible, Both externally as well as internally. Literally. We chatted a little, planning of some surprises for our little guest over here since we kinda bored her already with our favourite movies. And soon after, we all went to our rooms for a little rest.

CHRIS'S POV

   I was passing her room and all of a sudden, I had the sudden urge to peep in and look at her peaceful presence in an angelic trance. Unaware of what's going around. Such pure innocence radiating out of her virtuous soul.
        But no, I am not going to disturb her soft repose so I started making my way to my room. Suddenly, I hear a feminine scream. Kristen! She must be getting nightmares. I knew we shouldn't have let her watch the movie with us. Walt's idea but partially my fault. 'Guys, don't worry,  I'll see what's wrong.' I announced loudly in my mind for who ever cared to listen. I immediately rush into her room. She looked scared as she was shouting.
      ' No, no please. don't do this to me...'  I sit next to her head. "Kristen, get up. " I had to say it gently, so she wouldn't freak out. She gets up, looking everywhere, making sure that whatever is haunting her was truly a dream. When she sees me, she hugs me tight, leaving me a little astounded. "Oh, Chris!" Her body was still shivering. My hand slowly places itself on her back as I let out the breath I held back. "Love, chill down! It was just a stupid nightmare. Go to sleep." 
      She left me and I was about to go but she held my wrist. "Chris, please stay. I'm scared." She had these cute, huge brown eyes which pleaded to me so hard that I had to stay. I sat down again as she rested her head on my lap. She was looking at me intently, hoping that I would start some topic. "Kristen, you need to sleep or you will get dark circles." I say, trying to scare her. I mean all  girls get scared of beauty problems like dark circles and pimples, right? But this girl was different. She didn't care at all.
        "I don't care about the dark circle. It's the ghosts in my brain what I'm scared of." She stated plainly. No, it's the monsters around you who are scaring you, I thought to myself. But out loud, "Well, I'll take care of them. You sleep." "Promise?" She gives me that innocent look. I nod. She closes her eyes and soon was snoring silently.  I let my conscience slip into hers.

KRISTEN'S POV

    I wake up next morning. I had felt so much better. Chris was no longer there in my room but whatever magic he had casted had worked. The dream I got was that he and I were ghostbusters and we were eradicating all these monsters from my head. It was quite an adventure and I love adventure. I don't know why but today I am feeling really chirpy. I mean I was singing and  dancing towards the bathroom. I had a bath and made sure no one was in the room. I quickly changed and put my music player on loud speaker. The song 'Don't you worry, child." by Swedish House Mafia was playing. God, I love this song. I was jumping and dancing on the bed.  After quite some time, I realized someone's presence in the room. I quickly stop the music.
      "Don't you think you should knock at the door before you enter? " I say, still standing on the bed with my arms crossed, pretending to be annoyed but truthfully very embarrassed while Zac was leaning on the wall next to the door, smirking. Thankfully it's just him. "Well, I knocked thrice. Already." He shrugs. "You dance pretty well for a journalist." "Thanks." I say, blushing a little.
      "Anyways, Ash is calling you down for breakfast." "Yup, I'm coming." I jumped down from my bed and was about to walk out of the door but Zac grabbed my wrist. I was pulled towards him." Wow! This looks extremely gorgeous on you." He commented smoothly. "Thanks! " "But they would suit you more if the hearts were black, don't you think?"  Suddenly I saw the colour of the hearts change. From blue to black? Huh? My eyes squeezed shut. I am definitely hallucinating alot these days. I opened my eyes slowly while he asks in a worried tone
       "Are you Ok?" The hearts were back to blue. I just nod. Ya, definitely sure. Either that or something wrong with my eye sight. He leaves my hand and I make my way to the kitchen with him following me. Every step I took, I felt his gaze. I did feel pretty awkward. He was looking at me as if I was a kid who had just learnt to walk.

The moment I enter the kitchen. "Good morning, Sexy!" Ash says, while serving pancakes to the remaining guys. " Good morning, Curly!"  I say happily, taking my place next to Dylan and Chris. I wanted to secretly thank Chris for yesterday. "Anything for you, Love." he replied to my thought. Huh? or probably I said it loud. Again.

       I could see Zac, who was sitting on the other side, was glaring at him. But he ignores it. We all quickly finished our delicious breakfast. So what were we going do today?  I wanted to watch Ender's game. That movie comes once on three months and it's not even on youtube. When the question came up, I voiced my opinion. Eventually all of them had to agree, for what they put me through yesterday.

      I sat next to Chris. Throughout the movie, my fingers were interlocked with his. Whenever an interesting part came, I used to give his hand a little squeeze . Well, whenever I watch a movie, I need some one's hand. I don't care whose hand it is. Since I was sitting in the centre, the jealousy radiated from all sides. Lucky me, it wasn't very hard to ignore. When the advertisements came, I felt thirsty. I went to the kitchen to get water. Since there was no chilled water (As I love it when it's chilled.), I needed some ice.

      I opened the freezer to see a small opening in the freezer . A secret compartment. Cool!  I opened it a little and froze. Some thing I didn't expect.  Everything was coming back to me. I was never hallucinating. It was all true. They just led me to believe that I was truly going insane. God, I can't believe I was too blind to notice it. Indeed they are cannibals. Well, atleast to me. 

      "Babe, are you ok? " Walt's voice boomed.  I came into reality. "Yeah!" My voice staggered a bit. No, Kristen, You gotta do better than that. Gotta sound more confident. "Then what are you waiting for? The movie started."  "Ya, I'm comin! Just a minute."  That definitely sounded better. I close the compartment and the freezer and take a bottle of plain water. I have to pretend like nothing's wrong. I will be out in 3  days. Just be calm. But the thought itself was so disturbing. I sat back into my place even though I wanted to be miles apart from them. My fingers entwined in his again. Nothing happened. Everything's fine, right?  No! It wasn't.  My hands were slightly shivering. 

     Before I could try to stop it, Chris noticed it. "Love, why are your hands shivering? " he whispered. "I'm feeling cold." I replied, without a thought. "You want me to get you a blanket?" He asked with concern which I definitely think is fake. "No, I need some one by my side plus it's not that cold." I say with a fake smile, how much ever I could muster up with. He nods. A sign of understanding. The movie finished and I went to my room. I thought I would write. It would always soothe me down but everytime I touched my pen or the keys of the laptop, my fingers trembled.
       No, I needed to escape. I need to get away. I will not become their food. I know they fed me so many chocolates, so I become sweet literally. 
     I can't believe it. How did I ever fall in their trap? I needed to get out and I don't mind dying in the process. There is a myth that these creatures don't touch any humans which are already dead until there is scarcity of food. And escape is going to be a little impossible now cause they will have the advantage of dragging me back. And now I don't know what to believe in. What I just came out to know was what I thought was a fiction. I closed my eyes as I let myself sink into the plans I was already making.

CHRIS'S POV

    I don't know but there was something weird. She was shivering as if she didnt want me to touch her but her grip was unwillingly strong plus she was the one holding my hand not the other way round.

       "That was weird!" Walt says. "Wait, you felt that too? " He nods with a confused face. "I thought I was the only one who felt that." "Well, I think we all felt the same." Zac supported me. "I doubt. Did we do something wrong?" Dylan says. "I think Chris should go and ask her what happened." Ash quietly voices his opinion. 

       "Chris, I agree with him. You need to go. She trusts you the most now. She needs you." Zac adds. I nod and go. When I entered her room, she was already curled up in her quilt and was busy shivering.  She looked so scared as if I was going to kill her. Even though I didn't have it in me even if I could. She was scared and I knew the reason very well. She knows our secret and she knows she won't be able to get out of it. She thinks we were just using her for our pleasure.

      I tried to comfort her, but she backed away every time I tried to touch her. She was freaking out way too much. Come on, we aren't even that bad! In fact we were even worse. When there was no way I could keep her calm, I had to use the power of my words. Soon she fell asleep. Thank god, it worked. I pulled the quilt over her body and brushed her hair off her face.

       I felt bad for her. She didn't have to go through this. She didn't even have to know. We all agreed for her to come and live with us for a particular reason. We all wanted to know her. But now that's gonna be hard. We never meant her to know. Now this is gonna be hard. 

     I sigh and walked out of her room. Immediately all eyes were on me, waiting for an explanation. "Nothing, she was just freaking out on her hallucinations." I say, softly. It was the truth, partly but yet I felt pretty guilty. I didn't want to tell them the complete truth. Otherwise she would have to stay with us forever. and I wouldn't want her to be here, in trouble.
