04 Children of the Damned

After we showered we got dressed I walked to the door and noticed it was unlocked.

Did they really lock us in here all night?

I grabbed Xavier's hand and we made our way to the kitchen. Where the same judging out lady was. Is she always here? "Good morning," Xavier and I both said to her as she took in my appearance noticing I didn't look like a mess and replied "Good morning" back to us.

Rude ass judging bit-

I wanted to slap her rudeness away

"Mi hijo, how did you sleep?" She suddenly said. I turned around and noticed Juan in another suit but this one was beige. "I slept good mama, but what are you doing up so early? You should be resting." He said opening the fridge grabbing the orange juice and a glass cup and drinking some.

Has anyone ever wondered why the juice is yellow and not orange?

"I'm making you breakfast, you need to eat." She said grabbing some eggs from the fridge and the bread. My guess was she was making French toast, yum. He has yet to notice Xavier and me in the kitchen.

"Camila and Xavier should be down any second now make sure they eat. Make sure she's not around a phone she can easily get her hands on as well as any sharp objects. I have yet to decide what to do with them. Just keep an eye on them especially her, she's feisty. I should get going now I have some other business to take care of." Juan turned around and saw me.

"What you don't trust me?" I asked childishly holding onto Xavier's hand. Juan looked at me then Xavier then back to his grandma. "Don't cause any trouble, Camila." And with that, he left. I went to get a bowl and a spoon. "What are you doing?" The old lady asked. "Preparing some cereal for my son," I said as nicely as I could.

"There's no need for that I'm making breakfast, put that away." She said and I put them back instantly you don't have to tell me twice. I sat Xavier on a chair and went to help her.

"You can sit down Camila." She said trying to shoo me away. "My mom raised me to help those in the kitchen. And I happen to love cooking, so I don't mind." I said grabbing the eggs and the bowl and started cracking them.

She looked at me for a moment and then continued grabbing the pot and we both began to prepare breakfast together. The meal was done within 30 minutes since we made enough for everyone. This was like one big dream for others to live in a mansion with all your friends but in the situation I was in, this was a nightmare. I saw Alejandra enter the kitchen and sit down and not even five minutes later Anthony entered.

Are people so oblivious to them?

I saw them take a seat far from each other but they did not stop eyeing each other. It's like they wanted to jump over the table and tear each other up.

Get a room

Oh wait they can't

Aw young/ old forbidden love

I made eye contact with Alejandra and sent her a wide smirk. She looked at me with curious eyes but I continued smirking. I continued to eat and kept looking at them.

Seems like they weren't so careful about keeping their relationship a secret

Xavier was very entertained, he did not mind being here after all this was our new 'home'. I figured it was too early to tell Alejandra and Anthony I knew about them. I want to catch them in the act and have them sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for my next move.

I played with Xavier and watched t.v. at the same time. If this is how every day is going to be I won't last long here. I need to be on my feet moving. I told Xavier I would be right back and left to go explore the mansion a little bit, hoping not to cross paths with Juan or his judging mama. I quickly got out of the room closed the door behind me and started walking towards a long hallway that I hadn't seen before. I kept walking until I figured  I reached Juan's room, it was the only room with a lion doorknob. I reached for the doorknob and opened it. I made sure the coast was clear and quickly stepped inside and closed the door quietly behind me. I took a look around the room and felt my jaw slowly drop. I thought the room I was staying in was nice but this room is a damn beauty. It had a huge circle bed, and the color scheme was mainly gold which screamed luxury, money, and power.

(This is Juan's room)

He's is a smart guy but why doesn't he lock his door? Like literally anyone can come right on in. I walked around the enormous room and took in every little detail about it. He is living the life minus the fact he is an evil man. I came closer to the bed and sat on it, it was so damn comfortable. I felt myself slowly laying back all the way and laying down like a starfish.

This bed is so cozy wow

I quickly got up and started searching his room not knowing exactly what I was looking for. I searched his night drawers and found nothing but some chargers, remotes, books, and the usual condoms, that were in an unopened box. He hasn't been getting any play lately, that must explain why he was an ass. He got his damn panties in a twist. I then continued searching and found nothing. I reached the door handle for one door and walked into his huge closet. I started searching through his jackets and pants.

I had no clue what I was really looking for either a weapon or something I could hold against him. As I reached farther into his closet my face met with a large painting.

Don't people hide things behind them?

I grabbed the painting and lifted it. "What do you think you are doing?" I heard Alejandra say behind me. I let out a yelp and almost dropped the painting. I finished removing the painting and noticed a safe there, bingo. I turned to face her "I figured that if I was going to stay here for a while I wanted to decorate my room some more and I really like this painting. It will look good on that empty wall." I lied.

"Well, that belongs to Juan so put it back and go back and go to your room. I'll be sure to tell Juan to get someone to shadow you." Alejandra said as I put the painting back.

"There's no need to tell Juan, I'm sure you don't tell him everything correct?" I asked.

"What do you mean, he's my brother I tell him everything." She replied.

Lies lies lies

A family full of lies

"Well Alejandra we all have secrets we don't share, don't we? I'm sure there are a few things you wouldn't want your brother to know." I felt her eyes on me and I smiled hard then stopped before turning around.

"Well I mean we're girls we don't tell our brothers everything that will be weird no? Like girl stuff." I said shrugging my shoulder.

"Yeah, obviously girl stuff." She said timidly.

Haha she's nervous, I got her just where I want her

"I'm going to go to my room now. I hope you won't tell Juan I just wanted to spice up my room some more." I said walking past her.

"Yeah, I won't." She replied.

You better not

I walked back into the room and saw Xavier passed out on the floor. I walked over to him to pick him up and settled him on the bed I laid beside him and fell asleep but two things stayed on my mind

Alejandra better keep her promise and I need to find out what's in that safe

Maybe I'll find something that can help me leave this place
