Elektra's P.O.V.
I watched as Carmen clumsily positioned her hand and cue to putt a red ball. She managed to but only just.
"Nice shot Carms" Rick encouraged using his nickname for her. He'd been teaching Carmen how to play pool and she had been improving greatly since he took over from Gus. She's even started playing games with the other kids in the care home and actually won a few.
"Here putt that one" he said pointing at one of her balls. Carmen tried and failed not even getting close to the pouch. She sighed and sat down on the chair behind her. To be fair it was quite a hard putt for a beginner.
"Never mind try again" Rick said patiently repositioning the balls to where they were.
"I can't. It's too tricky" Carmen said
"It's not TOO tricky just trickyER" Rick said "here how about I give you some help"
"Ok" Carmen sighed
Rick walked up to Carmen so that his body was slightly pressed to her side. He placed his hand on the cue behind hers and held her other hand steady. "You don't need to hit it hard" he said his lips tickling Carmen's ear "it only needs a little encouragement". He guided the cue's end to softly hit the white ball. The white ball slowly rolled to Carmen's ball and it fell into the pouch with no trouble.
Some part of me kind of wanted to do something like that with Liam.
'Stop thinking like that Elektra' I scalded myself in my head 'think like that and someone's going to get hurt and it's probably going to be Liam' I stood up and walked out the room trying not to think about that sort of stuff.
Liam's P.O.V.
"Okay guys can I have your attention please!" Mike shouted over the noisy breakfast routine in Elm Tree house one Saturday. "I have planned a little surprise for you today" we all looked at him waiting for Mike to get to the point. "today we're going to a real life castle" he said smiling a really cheesy grin.
The little kids were into it but some of the older kids weren't as enthusiastic.
"Come on guys it's going to be fun now finish your breakfast and get ready" Mike said cheerfully.
We did so and when I was ready I went to Elektra's room. I knocked and pushed on the door. Elektra yelped and grabbed her shirt. I yelped as well and turned away while she put her shirt on.
"I'm so sorry Elektra" I said turning once she'd given me the all clear to look.
"Don't worry about it. You urm you didn't see anything did you?" She asked slightly unnerved.
"Not if you didn't want me to" I replied, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"So urm are you ready?"
"Err yeah" Elektra grabbed her bag.
Elektra's P.O.V.
The castle was pretty boring. The only thing that kept things alive were Liam's jokes. We were walking in the bed chambers now. The guide was droning on about secret passage ways and I was not listening.
Suddenly I felt a hand slap over my mouth and I was pulled backwards. I opened my mouth and tried to scream but the hand muffled it and I realised I wasn't going home tonight.
