Chapter 6
I didn't believe anything I read in that book. I had only been able to read the chapters on Charon and Cerberus, it took me a couple hours but when I was done I felt so accomplished. I think my reading is coming along quite well. Sure I can't read as well as the average person but I'm slowly progressing.
Charon was right when he said that Cerberus and him would be gone. They didn't return home, so I just went back to sleep in the same room I woke up. During the whole time I was alone, I was so bored. I didn't know what to do. There was so many things in their house to do, don't get me wrong but firstly I don't have permission to touch it and secondly I have no idea how it even works.
Sometimes I feel like a complete idiot.
So I just decide to learn to cook. Since I'm obviously not leaving this place for a while, I'll learn to do something productive around here. Plus it's killing two birds with one stone, I learn a new skill while the guys get to eat different food.
I sigh in frustration, slamming the third cook book closed. So far, everyone I've read are written in another language. I look up and see one more book, it's a dark red leather book with no words on the cover. I'm just assuming this is a cook book since it was with the rest. I place it on the counter then open it to the first page.
"Finally!" I exclaim as I see that the book is indeed written in English. I begin to skim through all of the recipes, looking for one that catches my eye. There were a few recipes in this book that seemed really odd, so I just skipped them. I smile as I see one that sounds interesting and begin to get the ingredients. Once I have all of them I start to follow the instructions.

I put the book back down before getting off the couch and rushing to the kitchen. I grab the oven mitts before pulling the food out and setting it on the rack to cool down. I clean up everything before dishing myself some food. It took me a long time to figure out how the hell that oven worked but I had finally done it. I blow on it before slowly taking a bite. I moan softly at the burst of flavour. I knew this would be a great dish.
"Honey we're home!" I hear Charon's voice yell from the front. I roll my eyes, getting use to his behaviour. I hear a smack before someone groaning then I hear heavy footsteps approaching the kitchen. I look up and see Cerberus standing there looking mad(shocker), and frustrated.
"Hello-"
"What do you think you're doing!" He yells as he scans over the food with a hateful glare. I sigh before putting on a fake smile.
"Well, people need food for energy but they have to eat it in order to obtain this energy. So I'm eating." I say to him teasingly as I take another bite.
"Would you two like some?" I ask them politely. They're probably hungry since it's already past eight.
"New food!" Charon yells as he enters the kitchen and rushes over to it. He dishes himself a huge scoop before sitting down and digging in.
"This is amazing!" He says groaning, then continues to stuff everything in his mouth. I begin to laugh as some food dribbles down his chin. His head snaps over to me and I burst out laughing. He looks like a chipmunk with those stuffed cheeks. I calm myself down before reaching over and wiping his chin with a cloth.
"What is this?" Cerberus asks with a disgusted voice as he pokes at his plate. Well if he doesn't like it then he shouldn't have dished it up for himself.
"It's cottage pie. I learnt it from that book." I say as I continue to eat my food while Charon moves onto seconds.
"This is amazing Dion! Way better than that slop Cerberus use to make!" At that comment Charon gets a face full of mash potatoes. I bite my lip to hold back the laugh 'cause of Charons face.
"Oh no you didn't." He says while playfully glarring over at Cerberus. He pretends to act innocent, ignoring Charons glare.
"I don't know what you're talking-" Cerberus is cut off with potatoes thrown at him as well. I hear Charon burst out laughing as I drop my spoon and begin to laugh along with him.
"Dion, you better run." I hear Cerberus say in a fake threatening voice. I stop laughing and look up at him in slight fear and shock. He continues to smirk down at me with a mischievous glint in his eyes. I go to speak but am cut off when he smashes potatoes in my face. I then hear him begin to laugh, along with Charon. I wipe the food out my eyes as I still look at him in shock. He turns to me and looks at me in confusion.
"You just called me Dion." I say with a smile as I continue to wipe all the food off of myself. That, for some reason, gets him to sober up and put on his angry face again. He stands up and walks out the room, not before glarring at me one last time. I look over at Charon and he's giving me one of those 'pity' smiles.
"Don't take it personally. He's always been like that. Well I'm heading home. Thanks for the food Dion."
"I thought you lived here?" I ask him in confusion as he helps me clean up the kitchen.
"Nah, I was just visiting Cerberus for a bit. He doesn't really like people here but the guys does need company sometimes. He gets lonely. Well, I'm heading off. Bye Dion." He says before grabbing his bag and walking out the door, closing it behind him.
Great so I'm stuck with Mr Bipolar by myself. Aren't I lucky?
