Okay my lovely readers here is Chapter 7, on christmas Eve, so this MIGHT be the christmas update I'm not sure yet.

Well everyone I'm pleased to announce i've got 17 REVIEWS and that is wicked!

j dizzel- you are truelly clever, you figured it out, HOWEVER why is the question in deed? Anyway your review gave me a very big smile :D see? and it made my evening when I read it.

zbycz - thanks it makes me happy to make you think that the characters are real and yes i am epic, this is the 3rd chapter of the week I think. I'm thinking of Zara to be like the mother figure, you'll see why later in the chapter but we've got a long way to go to see some laughs, on the bright side, do you have any suggestions on something thats funny?

allreader - W-O-W SIX REVIEWS! thank you! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D amyway I have taken your comment into consideration and I am going to post about Collin, but in a different story

CHERUB belongs to Robert Muchamore

Chapter 7
Ted

'Don't you even dare call me 'dad' you aren't my son and you never will be!' my fathers voice screamed at me again, his pulse visible again, throbbing at the side of his head. 'I'm sorry!' I fretted and tried to back away.
By now Ted was sitting on the floor on the outside of the pool with his back against the window. His knees were pulled into his chest as his unseeing eyes pooled with watery tears and a look if horror set upon them.

'Sorry!' he screamed at me and pulled me up from the floor and left me to dangle in the air. 'I'll teach you sorry!' he threatened as be pulled me over towards the sink.

I realized it to late as I looked upon the scalding hot water within the small plastic bowl. I howled in pain as soon as he dunked me in, letting my breathing out and the hot water in, making me scream even more.

Josh looked worriedly at his new found friend and went over to see if he was alright. "Ted?" The boy called out tentatively as if he was afraid something was wrong.

Ted didn't respond, it was like he wasn't here and he was somewhere else.

"Is he Okay?" Jake asked nervously as he looked at Josh and then at Ted, guilt ridden into his face. "I dunno but I'm gunna fetch mum." Josh replied and ran out of the pool leaving a dripping Jake that was getting cold by the second to awkwardly sit with his new friend.

Zara

"Mum, mum! It's Ted, he's… he's…. oh just come on!" Josh cried as soon as he had stumbled in through his mum's office. He ran all the way over to his mum and pulled her by her sleeve out of her office and all the way to the swimming pool without a word.

She looked upon the small figure of Ted who was now on the floor with his knees tucked into his chest, his hands in his hair and his eyes shut as tightly as they could. She felt sorry for Ted as soon as she had found him like that it wasn't right. He shouldn't suffer from the past.

Jake sat next to Ted trying to speak to the chocolate brown haired boy, but his attempts were futile as the five year old continued to be put under the spell that he was on.

"josh, go fetch Dr. Jefferson, she should be able to help, go!" She ordered at her oldest child, who nodded and scampered away as fast as he can. "Jake, would you please fetch Mr James?" Zara asked but it sounded more like an order.

She slowly moved down and sat next to Ted and pulled him into a hug, Ted was very young and he needed a mother, someone who cared for him and made him smile, but first he'd have to get over his past.

Sorry it's short but hey!

There shall be a new story called: CHERUB: Dread all about Collin if you wanna read it :D
