Oh My! will you look at that I'm alive! it was weird I just had this sudden inspiration to write this chapter. Hopefully it is good!

"I said release me! You mad woman!"

Rose rolled her eyes at the man she was dragging down the corridor.

"Relax we're just going to the kitchen to get you something to eat; then you're off to bed!"

Cedric gave her an annoyed look.

"Firstly you are not my mother; therefor can not tell me what to do. Secondly the kitchens are the other way!"

Rose stopped and looked sheepishly at him

"Oh...oops? But seriously you would work better at one hundred percent. You know instead of starving and looking like a zombie?"

Before Cedric could protest that he was fine his stomach spoke for him with a loud growl.

He looked away with a small blush when Rose just smiled smugly at him.

"Oh, hush! And lets get going!"

Rose giggled and ran the other way dragging him again.

He vaguely realized a few things while trying to keep up with the odd girl and not face planting into the stone floor.

One she most likely still had no clue on how to actually get to the kitchens.

Two while they were stopped and talking her warm hand never let go of his...

Pushing this to the back of his head he walked faster to be in front and lead them the right way.

Rose just continued to smile at him

Cedric dropped into one of the chairs in the kitchen once they finally made it there, he was beat! They ran the whole way and even if he wasn't already tired that still would have tired him!

His amethyst colored eyes looked over to the young woman who seemed completely fine.

He frowned in annoyance and briefly though maybe he should work out some more...

A rap on the table broke him out of his thoughts.

Looking up to see Rose with her eyebrows raised.

"Did you here a word I said?" She questioned him.

"Eh?" Was his ever elegant reply

Rose rolled her eyes

"I said what do you want to eat? I'll make you something."

He gave her a skeptical glance.

"You know how to cook?"

Rose shrugged.

"Some stuff; believe it or not I prefer to bake."

Cedric thought it over with his head tilted slightly.

"Make whatever you can that won't poison, and or kill me."

Rose stuck her tongue out at the cheeky Sorcerer then turned and got to work humming a small tune while she was at it.

Cedric placed his chin in his hand as he watched her; Of course he had his reasons for watching her.

One to make sure she didn't burn the palace to the ground and...well that was really the only real reason.

Cedric jumped when he felt someone shake his shoulder. His eyes darted open and nearly fell out of his chair when he realized how close Rose was to his face.

"Merlin! Woman are you trying to give me a heart attack!" He accused while holding a hand to his chest trying to calm his heart.

Rose grinned at his reaction.

"The foods done sleepy head." She said and motioned to the food on the table.

Cedric turned; his stomach growled and mouth began to water in anticipation.

Before him were a decent stack of pancakes with whip cream and chopped strawberries and bananas on top.

"This looks pretty good! Now to see if it will kill me..."

Cedric joked as he picked up his fork.

Rose gave him a dry look not enjoying the barb at her cooking. She wasn't that bad!

Once he took a bite his eyes widen and he started to eat faster.

Rose watched on with her chin in her hand and a victorious smile on her face.

Once Cedric finished he wiped his mouth.

"We'll that was ok."

Rose raised an eyebrow.

"Really now? It seemed a little more than ok based on how you inhaled it..." Rose joked

Cedric coughed into his fist a light blush adorned his cheeks.

"Yes, well thank you for the meal."

Rose shrugged her shoulders.

"No problem, you should really take better care of yourself."

"I just really want to help you get home." Cedric replied.

Rose frowned.

"Do you want to get me home because its the right thing to do?...or because of what I know?"

Cedric looked sharply at her and sat straighter his Amethyst eyes darkening.

Rose's eyes widen at the sudden change

"And what is it dare I ask that you know?" He drawled out his normally higher toned voice deepening slightly.

A shiver went down her spine at the tone...she wasn't exactly sure why.

Rose opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted.

"Lady Rose, there you are."

Both Cedric and Rose looked to the doorway to see Baileywick

Who in turn look at them with a raised eyebrow.

"Am...am I interrupting something?"

Rose forced a smile.

"Of course not!"

Baileywick looked from both of them then shook his head.

"Right... Anyways Amber and James are look for you."

"Rose stood. "Oh, we'll I should go then! You'll lead the way won't you Baileywick?"

He nodded.

As Rose walked passed Cedric she stopped and they stared at one another before Rose spoke.

"Please take better care if yourself ok Cedric; you could get sick."

She walked past him and out into the hall; Cedric's eyes following her the whole way.

Once he was alone a sigh escaped his lips His head fell back with his eyes closed. He opened them slowly and shook his head to clear his muddled mind. Standing he stormed out of the kitchen to get back to trying to figure out how to get Rose home.

"Please take better care of yourself ok Cedric; you could get sick."

Maybe he would get some shut eye first...

There you have it! Chapter 6

So tell me what you think?

Also I'm thinking I might...possibly...maybe... make Cedric the tiniest bit darker...(Probably not)
