Okay, thanks for all the reviews, I'm so happy, and my foster mum's so proud, Lol. I'm just making these up as I go along so you know. Have pity. My first longish story.


Cooking Lessons

Darren's POV

I couldn't believe it. I was so unhappy. Again. At first I was confused.

Then I was pissed.

Then I was happy.

Then I was horrified.

Then I was unhappy. Which I still am.

I couldn't believe they expected me to cook a meal with those crappy tools. I can't even make bat broth for god's sake.

I have to go and see Gavner to get him to help me, Mika did offer to help me and I refused because I was in a state of shock. Then he got all in a huff and I found him half an hour later chatting Arra up. I don't think Mr Crepsley would ever forgive him if he became Arras mate though.

But that's off topic.

Yeah, anyway, I arrived at Gavners quarters and I found him asleep. Snoring. I was too annoyed to let him sleep so I ran at him and screamed in his ear.

He still didn't wake up. He just snuffled.

Ok. Now I was so angry, I could feel smoke coming out of my ears.

Although not literally.

As if he could feel my anger, Gavner suddenly jumped out of bed and screamed like a baby.

Like a very ugly baby.

When he saw me he stopped yelling and screaming, coughed and politely asked me what I wanted.

I couldn't help but smile at the look on his face and I asked him what kind of food is kept in the mountain.

Gavner looked at me then with a nod of understanding, took my shoulder and led me out of his room. (He was already clothed)

"Okay, Darren you want to know what food's kept in the mountain, right?" asked Gavner with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Well yeah, I thought that much was obvious." I answered, getting annoyed again.

Were they all smart mouth dumbasses?

Clearly.

Gavner looked at me and took a deep breath.

"Well Darren how about I show you what food is kept in the mountain!"

I stared at him.

" I thought only the princes were allowed to see what food there is."

Gavner giggled like a little boy and I knew what he meant.

I sighed.

I might get kicked out the mountain before I even started the trial.

Oh well.

" Alright, but we can't get caught!" I snapped.

He held his hands up in a surrender posture and led me away to the stores below.


"Okay Darren now I know it's not a lot but we do have cows and a few chickens. Oh and of course we have never-ending supply of bats for bat broth."

Gavner was pointing around at a hall not too big but not small, and explaining what food's were behind the doors in the walls.

I felt a bit sickened because most of the vampires ate their food raw and I didn't feel like butchering a cow or chicken. I'd get covered in blood. Eugh

It's kinda silly I guess. A vampire being worried about blood.

Gavner, obviously sensing my troubles nudged me and pointed to the door leading out back to the main tunnels.

"Let's go talk to Mika" he winked." He doesn't mind the sight of a bit of blood."

I laughed numbly as I walked behind him. A bit of blood.

That was a bit of an understatement.

Or so I thought.


Yay! I did a longer chapter. I think it's my longest so far. I love this chapter and I have a plan, readers with weak stomachs, do not read next chap. Or do but I'm just warning you. 
