I sit up and a large portion of the noise fades.

Who is that screaming?

It sounds like multiple voices.

I try not to panic, but being woken up from a night terror to screaming is a little overwhelming.

Okay, that's an understatement.

Victor's door is thrown open as Kota races in. He flung it open so hard that it is slams against the wall and closes itself.

He wraps me up in a hug. Tentatively, I wrap my arms around him and melt into his hug.

"Kota, are you okay?"

Kota pulls back and looks me in the eye.

"No, Sang, are you okay?" Kota asks pointedly

I get a sinking feeling in my stomach. I am pretty sure that I know what he is going to say next, but I still ask, "What are you talking about?"

"Your dream, Sang! This is why you were exercise wasn't it?" Kota asks.

The concern in his green eyes alarms me.

Why did he care so much?

"I'm so sorry, Kota," I mumble sadly. "I didn't mean drag you into my nightmare."

The concern must be for himself.

No one has really cared about me except for Sarah and Star.

Kota sighs, "First off, we were all dragged into it. Second, never apologize for that. Did you do it on purpose?"

His eyes have an intense steel behind them.

I shake my head with fervor. I would never, ever do that to someone in purpose.

Apparently, other people don't like them either.

Master almost killed me when it first started. She only stopped because Star knocked her out and put her back in her bed. Star can only do that on occasion, when she truly believes that Master is going to kill us. Otherwise, Master would figure out what we are doing.

Kota hugs me again, "Sang. It is going to be okay. Do you want to see everyone?"

I don't hesitate before nodding.

I need to see them and make sure that they are okay and not mad at me. If need be, I can always leave and not stay with them so they can sleep.

We stand up and Kota puts his arm around my shoulders.

I gnaw at my lip, nervous about their reactions.

Kota opens the door to show a distressed North Star.

"Sang Baby!" North Star cries and pulls me into a huge hug.

I blush.

North Star is shirtless and hugging me.

Oh, well. It's not like any of them would like me in that way, anyway.

We are, after all, a family.

I push my giddy thoughts away and hug him.

One by one, I give each of them a hug as Kota relays what I told him.

"Ms.Sorenson, is this true?" Mr.Blackbourne asks.

I bit my lip again and nod.

"I really am sorry. I didn't mean to. This is why I exercise; I get too exhausted to project my dreams. I am so sorry," I apologize.

Silas takes me and just holds me in a hug.

"Aggele mou, there is no reason to apologize. You tried to protect us when we should be protecting you."

"Oy! Sean and Kota, what can we do to help her?" Gabriel exclaims.

"Sang needs to feel protected and secure. If two of us were to sleep with you, would that be alright, Pumpkin?" Pug says.

I bite my lip again and say, "I would be happy to try that, but I don't want to inconvenience anyone."

Corey looked at me sharply, "Sang, any of us would be happy to stay with you."

I study him to see if he is being honest and smile at him.

"Thank you Corey," I say softly.

"Ms.Sorenson, do you have a preference for who to stay with you?"

Mr. Blackbourne asks.

I shake my head.

How can I choose between them?

It would be like choosing between fourteen perfect desserts-impossible and you would second guess your decision every time.

Mr.Blackbourne studies me and I resist the urge to burrow into Silas.

Silas keeps saving me. He is my superhero, my Superman.

"Mr. Korba and Mr. Lee will be staying with Ms.Sorenson in Mr. Korba's room for the rest of the night."

I smile slightly and Silas lifts me up and carries me into his room.

I throw myself into the bed and bounce a little before diving under the covers.

Silas's bed is a cloud too!

I fall asleep instantly.

Kota's POV

I slipped in next to Sang and chuckled.

"Silas, she is already fast asleep."

Silas looked over and grinned.

"We are lucky that Mr.Blackbourne chose us to stay with her."

I nodded and took my glasses off.

Sang was facing me, so I wrapped an arm around her upper torso and Silas lay his arm in her waist.

I closed my eyes to sleep, but my mind wouldn't shut off.

Sang Sorenson had my thoughts.

Holding her here made it near impossible to sleep.

Sang came into my life with a whirlwind of insanity and is slowly rightening everything.

That's Sang. Righten.

Soon, Sang would have my heart as well.

***

Sang's POV

I dart awake at four o'clock like always.

I see Silas and Kota are still asleep. I carefully climb off the cloud so I don't wake them up.

I head downstairs to make sure it is clean and make breakfast.

I spend the following two hours cleaning.

I use Comet and a little water and scrub the baseboards and the tiles in all the rooms downstairs. I organize the pantry and all the cabinets. Then, I oil the cabinets.

I am getting started on breakfast when Me.Blackbourne comes downstairs already dressed and looking wide awake.

"Good morning!" I chirp.

He looks startled.

"Ms.Sorenson? What are you doing up already? You do remember that it is Saturday, right? How long have you been up? Long enough to clean I see. What are you cooking?"

Is he...

Flustered?!

I want to laugh, but merely smile.

"I always wake up at four o'clock in the dot. Yes, I am well aware that it is Saturday. I have been awake for about two hours. I am currently cooking blueberry waffles with eggs, bacon, sausage, muffins, and toast. What time does everyone normally wake up?"

Me.Blackbourne quickly answers, "Since we have nothing pressing to do today, they will wake up when they are ready."

"Although," He adds, "I do believe the aroma of your cooking will call them down sooner."

I smile.

They act like they aren't used to hunger. Like they haven't gone weeks without food.

Silly boys.

I resume my cooking and pour the muffin batter into a tray with these light blue cups. I turn on the stove to start cooking the meat and get the waffle iron cooking waffles. Next, I get started on the eggs.

As Me.Blackbourne expected, they come begin to come down, following their noses.

Luke comes down groggily and asks, "Why is there an angel cooking heavenly manna in our kitchen?"

I giggle and Luke rubs the sleep out of his eyes.

"Hi, Sang! Whatcha cooking, good looking?"

"Breakfast! Are you hungry?"

Luke replies, "Is that a trick question? I am always hungry!"

"Okay, Always Hungry."

I sign to him, Is it set up?

I would ask out loud, but I don't want anyone to overhear.

Luke gives me an evil grin and nods.

I return the evil grin. My smile is wider than the Cheshire cat's and sends shivers racing down Luke's back.

We decided to take them down in waves, saving Raven for last. After all, you always wanna save the best for last. The best revenge, that is.

"Always Hungry, are you ready to eat? I made a couple chocolate chip waffles for you."

He gave me an awed look, "How did you know I love those?

I smirk.

"Exhibit A, you understand my love of chocolate. Exhibit B, you told me you love chocolate. My witness is North Star who complained about your chocolate chip pancake intake. Ergo, making chocolate chip waffles for you is a great idea."

"The best!" Luke corrects laughing.

I gesture to the food, "Help yourself, Always."

Luke beams at me.

Whoa.

I think my heart just stopped.

I quickly flip the bacon over in the frying pan so it doesn't burn.

You know what I just realized?

This will be the first time I am allowed to eat breakfast.

Sometimes, I snuck the scraps and leftovers that Master, Father, and Marie did not eat, but it is always a risk because Marie likes to keep track of the food and report it to Master when I eat. I wonder if Master makes her, or is it by choice that Marie keeps track of my food?

Honestly, I don't want to know. Either way, I won't like the answer.

Gabriel stumbles sleepily into the room scratching away and tired. He yawns and ribs his eyes before scratching his face and arms.

"Good morning, Meanie," I say completely straight faced.

Luke, however, has to leave the room to keep from cracking up.

Gabriel has a mask of black permanent marker covering his face. Luke also sprayed Meanie's hairspray on him to make him crazy itchy.

Gabrielle is a heavy sleeper.

I am just staring at Meanie.

With the marker covering his face, it is kinda hard not to stare...

"Gabriel? Are you itchy?" I ask innocently.

He turns redder than the red of a rainbow and nods.

"How about I dish up your food while you wash up?"

Meanie smiles and says, "Thanks, Trouble. Can I not have sausage? I have never liked it."

I nod and make a shooing motion while smiling sweetly.

Gabriel beams at me and walks off.

Three...

Two...

One...

"What the **** happened to my **** face?!"

I burst into laughter and I can hear Luke's booming laugh from the other room.

One down, twelve to go.
