and winked at me.
    I finally got it. “Oh please, that is so not going to happen.”
    They all laughed at my tone. I sounded disgusted, and also embarrassed all at the same time.
    “It’s what I said too.” Becky smirked again.
    We walked past three rooms before Sir Robert opened the door to his and Isabel’s room, which was at the far end of the hall.
    It was stunning with a fireplace and luscious carpets, with the walls draped in the most beautiful abstract décor. Rich in color and very homey. The bed was colossal just like the room. They had an ensuite bathroom that was beautiful and reminded me of the one I’d had in my room when I’d visited Lucian.
    We walked out and walked back to the door we’d passed a couple of minutes ago.
    It was mine.
    The girls cracked themselves up again at my proximity to Isabel and Sir Robert.
    “So this is your precaution?” Sammy asked both her parents. “Elena’s room right next to yours.”
    Sir Robert stepped on a creaky floorboard right in front of my room. “That is my precaution.”
    We all just laughed. These people had seriously high hopes but they were in good spirits and I wasn’t going to kill that.
    My room was perfect. It had a beautiful bed, closets the length of the wall, with a beautiful cream carpet. It had a bathroom too, not as luxurious as Isabel’s, but it was perfect and mine. For the first time ever I had something to call mine.
    “Do you like it?” Isabel asked.
    “It’s perfect, thank you.” I hugged her.
    “Elena, it is us that should thank you.”
    “Don’t, please,” I begged. I really didn’t want to speak about that at the moment.
    We were ready to walk back out when I saw another door.
    I squinted at Isabel and walked to it.
    It was an opening and I started to laugh.
    “Why on earth did I get one too?”
    “It was a mistake in the plans we drew up, and now we can’t fix it as it’s part of the main structure, sorry about that.”
    Sir Robert just grunted. “I really need to fix that somehow. Put some sort of a device that would trigger the alarm…” he was speaking to himself since I refused to listen to this. IT WAS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Why didn’t any of them get it?
    “Oh Dad, please,” Sammy said. “Isn’t it enough that Elena didn’t get sound proof walls?”
    Her father looked at her with soft eyes and smiled. “Elena isn’t the only one that didn’t get sound proof walls. I know boys your age, Sammy.”
    I was glad Dean wasn’t here.
    I smiled. “Wish I could have used it. I miss being a dragon.” I tried to change the subject.
    Isabel’s arms wrapped around me. “She was never supposed to wake up, Elena.”
    “I know. But still. I miss her.”
    She just gave me a soft smile.
    “So, who’s hungry? I’ve worked like a slave today preparing snacks for our BBQ at the pool.”
    We all shrieked excitedly. A pool BBQ.
    “So frawsome,” Becky chanted and we all laughed.

    THE EVENING WAS amazing, well except when Blake started with his shit. He’d had way too many things to say which made me turn around and walk away. I saw that a couple of them had riled up Sir Robert. He was pushing his father but I knew Sir Robert was careful with striking Blake again, worried that my bracelet wouldn’t work or maybe scared because of the way I threatened him the last time he beat Blake and what I would do to him if he tried that again right in front of me.
    On Saturday morning, Constance came over. It was for Sammy’s birthday, but she used the reason that she wanted to check out the house.
    She gave her niece loud smacking kisses on the cheeks and whispered a sweet birthday message in her ear. To think she’d only had three or four birthdays at the most with her daughter. It would always be a sad story and I wondered if her family was still alive.
    Isabel made us all some breakfast and we enjoyed it around the huge dining room table right next to the kitchen.
    When we all finished and were drinking coffee (tea for
