El ducked, so the pot hit the fridge, and started laughing loudly. "I was just joking!" He said, grinning and slapping his knee. "Anyways, you know he's only interested in you because you're obsessed with him." He crossed his arms, getting up and going out to the dining room. Unlike Lou, El didn't need a reason to hit the orphans, so as he passed Hannah, he slapped her in the back of a head with a scowl. "Sit up straight."
Sterling frowned and stood up aswell, stretching his sore limbs. Blaz, sitting by a wall, visibly cringed as Lou entered.
"Boys, dinner." he said absently, grabbing Blaine's shoulder and pushing him haphazardly toward the door. "And if any of you comment about Alex's cooking again, you'll spend a couple nights in the basement, got it?"
The only orphans that had been in the basement had been Hannah (hope you don't mind) and Blaz. It was forbidden to speak of what happened down there, but it was clear that it inflicted great pain and mental anguish.

Alex was fumming as she watched El leave. She wanted to chuck a knife at him, but if that happened she could hit the girl at the table. She didn't want to kill one of Lou's little orphans without permission. She finished cooking and then brought it out and set it on the table. She picked up a glass, pulled her bottle full of blood out, poured some of it in a glass, and then proceeded to drink it in front of Hannah.
Hannah let out a meep as she was hit in the back of the head, and quickly straightened her posture up. When Alex entered she wished she was invisible. She never wanted to be alone in the same room with the vampire, or eat her cooking, but it was food and she was hungry. When Alex started drinking blood out of the glass she visibly cringed at the sight. Blood made her nauseous.
Blaine stumbled out the door as he was pushed, making sure to stay on his feet, and give a triumphant grin. He quickly stuck his tongue out at Lou when his back was turned.

El sat with a sigh on a chair near the head of the table; he knew those seats were reserved for Alex and Lou. He was not as high up on the totem pole as Hannah was, since he and Lou were always arguing or ignoring eachother.
Lou saw exactly what Blaine thought he didn't. Immediately chains rose up from the ground, wrapping excruciatingly tight around the boy's ankles, and jerking him to the side. Lou was NOT fond of those who thought they could beat him, or any orphans that were, in any way at all, proud of themselves. He was only content when each orphan hated themselves.
Sterling and Blaz kept their heads down, trying to avoid any punishment for whatever they might do wrong. They knew they should stand up for Blaine, but when it came to Lou's chains, they were powerless.

Blaine fell to the floor with a thud, making to sure land on his hands to avoid hurting his face. "Son of a..." He trailed off, knowing if he called Lou a name it would only make it worse. He wanted to hurt the guy.
Alex stuck his tongue out at El. "Want some?" He asked, holding the glass out to El. He knew the man would refuse, most people did, it was human blood after all. "Where are the boys." He said, as he put a hand on the back of Hannah's chair, causing the girl to jump.

Lou grinned, retracting the chains and placing his foot on Blaine's tailbone harshly, staring down at him with anger and hate. "Son of a.... what?" He asked, his voice slow and menacing. "I want to hear what you were going to say there."
Sterling stopped halfway down the hall and turned, wanting to stand up for Blaine and make Lou stop his slow torture, but Blaz did instead. He stalked forward, gritting his teeth and putting his hand on Lou's shoulder, giving him a shove. "Stop it!" He snarled, his hands in tight fists at his sides. "Leave him alone, he's just a kid!" This was a mistake, that put both Blaz and Blaine in trouble.
El shrugged. "Lou's gettin them." He said, putting his feet up on the table with a sigh. "Probably messin' around with them, too. You know how he hates the boys."

Hannah stared at her empty bowl and blinked. Did that mean Blaz was being put through hell right now. Were the boys even going to get to eat? Probably not. She pushed her chair back, stood up, and took off towards the staircases.
Alex let out a sigh. "Yeah, he really loves torturing those kids." He said dreamily. "It's so handsome of him." He smiled blissfully until Hannah got up and ran off. "OI!" He shouted, waving a fist in the air. He looked over at El. "Aren't you going to go after her?" He figured the answer would be no, this was El after all.
Blaine looked up at Lou and Blaz. "Oh shit." He said under his breath, knowing this wouldn't lead to anything good. He tried to pretend he wasn't there, and just keep quiet, maybe Lou would forget about him.

El sighed, but he'd had a lack of action or enthusiasm lately, and stood up slowly. He trudged toward Hannah, grabbing her elbow and pulling her back violently. "Did we excuse you from the table? I don't think so. Nobody leaves until LOU says you can." He sighed, looking toward Alex, with an eyebrow raised. "I'm surprised you're not jealous of the boys."
Blaz took a step back, realizing horrifiedly what he had done. His eyes immediately dropped to the ground and he hunched his shoulders, showing that he was submissive. "S-Sorry, sir," he murmured, stepping back, trying to reason. "We're just hungry.. please let us eat." It was a pitiful thing, to see a teenage boy be like that.
Sterling immediately moved forward, grabbing Blaine's hand and trying to tug him from the warzone.

Hannah let out another meep and quickly shrunk in size. She shrunk out of El's grasp and ran off trying to disappear under a table. She'd forgotten that if El wanted to, he could get rid of her gifs.
Alex waved a hand through the air. "Oh those are just his toys, besides I can have what they have." He said, sitting down in his chair. "So they aren't a threat." He stuck his red tongue out at El. "You'll have to try harder than that to catch her." He loved to tease El, mostly because he saw him as a rival for Lou's affection, even if the two didn't get along much.
Blaine let Sterling tug him out from Under Lou. He stood up, grabbed hold of Blaz's arm and pulled him down the stairs, trying to escape before Lou caught them. "Let's go eat." He said almost stumbling down the stairs.

El sighed, doing exactly that. He snapped his fingers, nullifying her gifts and stomped over to him. "See, if you didn't do things like this, you wouldn't get beaten," he sighed. "Get back to the table before I shove my foot down your throat. Go on. You might get seconds." Sometimes, El could be nice. Sometimes, he looked at the orphans and remembered his son, and was a little less cruel. But then he usually remembered how much he hated his son and it all went back to normal.
Blaz stumbled along with him, surprised that escape had been so easy. It was almost like Lou wasn't trying, and that scared Blaz even more. Even so, he hurried with Blaine and Sterling, mumbling numerous thank yous and such, as they arrived in the dining area.

Hannah curled up in a ball next to a nearby table and shielded her face from view of El. She was afraid to move from the spot, figuring he'd hit her when she moved. "D-Don't." She whimpered as she started to shake. Hannah felt powerless and even weaker without her gifts. She heard the boys enter and peeked out to look at them.
Alex resorted to a woman when El snapped his fingers. She ran her fingers through her hair playfully as she shifted and sat in Lou's chair. "Hmph I didn't want to be a girl just yet." She pouted, taking another sip from her glass. She looked over at the boys, sniffed the air and waved at them. "Thanks for finally joining us." She said, her fangs sticking out.

Blaz immediately broke away from the two boys and made his way over to Hannah and the frustrated El. He knew El was least likely to hit him, which would be lucky if Lou didn't hate him so much. "Hannah, Hannah," he said softly, holding out his scarred and bruised hands for her's. "Come eat dinner with us. It'll be okay, c'mon." Blaz had an extreme soft spot for Hannah; they had been through most of the same abuse there.
El scoffed, standing angrily and deciding just to leave it to Blaz. He knew that Lou was craving to put his hands on the boy, and he's let that be his punishment. Slowly he swaggered back to the table, snapping his fingers and letting their Gifts return. "My apologies, madame." He winked at Alex.
Sterling cling to Blaine's hand, looking at the blonde and biting his lip, and glancing at Alex. "I-It smells good," he stammered, trying his hardest to be good. "You're a real nice cook."

Alex smiled at Sterling. "REALLY?" She asked excitedly. "You think so, HA see El they think my cooking is nice." She pointed at Sterling, a happy smile on her face. "Maybe your taste buds are messed up." She stuck her tongue out at him, teasing him even more. She poured soup into everyone's bowls except her own, she didn't need to eat.
Blaine led Sterling over to a chair to sit in, before sitting down himself. He looked over at Blaz and pointed at the chair next to him, as if saying "You should sit here". He didn't care much for the girl, he didn't care much for any girl honestly. He sniffed the air. "Yeah the food smells good, but it probably tastes bad." He said, without thinking.
Hannah looked up at Blaz after El walked off. She nodded at him as she reached for his hands and stood up. She cringed when she heard everyone else speaking. She didn't like what Blaine said, he was probably going to get them all punished.

Blaz blinked in fear when he heard Blaine. There was very few things that Blaz was good for; that was for making bad things taste good. Immediately he took a breath, charming the food into tasting incredibly sweet and delicious, like cotton candy or chocolate. He tried to do it whenever dinner was on the table, when he was able to use his power. Gently he pulled Hannah with him, sitting in the chair next to Blaine, and the final chair beside him he held out gently for Hannah.
Sterling nudged Blaine's side with wide eyes, immediately clearing his throat and coming up with the best lie he could. "U-Um, Blaine can't taste very good, you see," he said to Alex with apparent fear on his face. "Everything tastes bad to him.. isn't that right?" He stared at Blaine, pleading to him silently to agree.
Lou finally came down the stairs, silent until he saw Alex in his seat. "Get yourself and your tits out of my seat, please, dear." He said in that cold, calm, but incredibly menacing voice.

Hannah sat down next to Blaz. "T-Thanks." She whispered, flashing a slight smile at him. The minute Lou entered the room though her head was down and she was staring at her food. Her stomach let out a loud rumble as he walked past.
Blaine was about to disagree with what Sterling said, but the minute he felt Lou's presence he closed his mouth and just nodded silently. "It'll be delicious." He murmured.
Alex looked over at Lou, her eyes lighting up. "Even though you have the comfiest chair here, I suppose I'll get up." She said, moving over to her own chair. She poured more blood into her glass, and grinned over at Lou. "What took you so long, love?" She asked, crossing her legs.

Blaz smiled back, before pursing his lips and looking down aswell. He knew that he was going to get punished dearly for what he had done, both him and Blaine most likely were, and that Lou was ignoring him to make him even more frightened. "Th-Thanks for the meal," he said softly.. not without using his small scale power to make Alex's blood five times sweeter than it should have been.
Sterling gave Blaine a small smile, spooning the soup and raising it to his lips. Thanks to Blaine, it was delicious, and tasted like the finest candy.
Lou sat and sighed, shrugging his shoulders. "I was looking through the boys room." He said without shame. "To make sure they weren't hiding anything from their loving caretakers."
