<span style="font-style: italic">Jasmine worked away in the kitchen. Working on making her brother's favorite meal. Least it used to be his favorite. She knew that Laveen also liked it. She could only hope that her brother would find a way to interact with Laveen. She just knew the two, though five years apart in age, would become the best of friends. She wanted Laveen, the boy she considered family, to have someone closer to his own age to interact with. Also because if she went near the room they would fire her. They didn't really have that much power but if they fired her Laveen would be all on his own to those evil and cruel people. She couldn't afford to take that risk. She was happy though that Felix would now be living here with her. It made it all worth it. She smiled the whole time she cooked.</span><br/><br/>Laveen groaned as he woke. Waking and going into a coughing fit. He soon stopped coughing and laid there weakly. He just wanted someone to talk to but they isolated him. He wondered if they didn't want him having friends. If they didn't want him having company. He was curious about Felix. His sister Jasmine had told him only good things. Had mentioned he thought outside the box. Other than that she had left many mysteries. She should have said she told him everything positive about her brother. He bit his lip and closed his eyes. "RICHARD! RICHARD I AM HUNGRY!" He called out.<br/><br/>He heard the sound of a man grunting and grumbling before the man went to get the food from Jasmin. He came back and unlocked the room. Going in and set the food on the table. Beginning to help Laveen eat. When Laveen finished eating, small amount that it was, he took the food tray and scowled at Laveen. "Little brat don't be calling me every five seconds today. I have work to do." Laveen made a face and glared at him. "Out! Out you mean monster!" He cried out in a demanding and bratty way. The man left and locked the door to the room again after he had exited. Laveen himself sniffled and cried a bit. He didn't like that the man treated him like that. He wasn't an invalid just because he was too weak to do anything. Too weak to even sit up on his own.<br/><br/>He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. He hoped he could see Felix but that was impossible with the fact that Felix wouldn't be able to enter the room. Unless he found the secret passageway that led to his room. He whimpered as his body ached for a moment. It past quickly. Why wouldn't Jasmine come see him anymore? Was she going to leave him?
