Slave To The Darkness

Abigail pulled out a second wooden spoon, cracked an egg, and added it to the mixture. "To make sure that the eggsh.e.l.ls don"t get added you can break it over a second small bowl then add it in when you are done." She placed a small bowl down for Yuki.

Yuki broke the egg and poured the contents into the bowl but an egg h.e.l.l broke off she tried to get it out but it kept moving away.

Abigail wet her finger with water and got the eggsh.e.l.l out. "A little water on the finger makes it easier." She then measured a cup of milk and added it to the mixture.

Yuki added the egg and then the milk. She picked up the spoon and stuck it into the mixture. "So mixing is next?"

"I was thinking that we could do cheese scones so before we mix we can add cheese," Abigail added a cup and a half of cheese to the mixture and started stirring.

Yuki followed suit and added the cheese before mixing the mixture together. Once the mixture was a ball that wasn"t sticky she looked at Abigail. "Thank you for having the patience to teach me how to do this."

"Oh, my dear. This is no issue. I am glad that you are willing to learn from this old lady. I may not know everything but I do know a few things. Next we are going to roll the dough to about an inch thick." Abigail started to demonstrate what she meant and then left the dough.

Yuki watched closely and did as Abigail had done. "This is not too hard. I am glad that I asked to come and see what it was like. I am really enjoying this." Yuki saw Abigail take a cookie cutter and cut into the dough. She picked up the second one and cut into her dough and made a bunch of circles.

"Good next we will place these on cookie sheets." Abigail pulled out cookies sheets and slowly s.p.a.ced out the cut shapes on the cookie sheet. "You do not want them too close together as that may not allow them to cook properly and stick together as one big pasty instead of just a bunch of small ones."

"Okay! I will copy what you did." Yuki followed the example for placement and added all that she could. She then watched as Abigail spread some melted b.u.t.ter on the tops so she did the same.

"Now we will place these in the oven and wait. While waiting we can finish off with all the cut ones and rerolled the leftovers. It will just be a repeated process now."

"Oh! That is great. Thank you for the next cookies sheet." Yuki started placing the last few cut biscuits on the tray and rolled the dough into a ball before rolling it back out and cutting it.

Abigail smiled and finished what she had to do with hers. "We made quite a bit. This should be enough for now." She smiles at their work and looks at the doorway.

Cedric was standing in the doorway looking like a panicked beast. His eyes calmed down as he found Yuki.

Yuki looked up and ran to Cedric. "I learned how to make biscuits from Abigail. Will you try some of the ones that I made?" She looked up at him innocently.

Cedric wiped off her cheek and bent down and started kissing her deeply. He supported her weight by wrapping his hand around her waist. "I need to place a bell on you so that when you leave I will be able to find you. I was scared and I woke up and you were not there beside me. Abigail, thank you for entertaining Yuki."

"Sir, it has been my pleasure. You look different today. Did you need the chocolates to help or are you in control?" Abigail pulled the cookie sheets out of the oven and placed them on the stovetop and added the next set into the oven.

"I am in control. There is no need for the chocolates. I just forgot that I was in my demon form." Cedric transforms back to his normal look and his eyes go back to the emerald green colour.

Yuki starts pouting when she sees this. "I liked your demon form. It is so handsome."

"I can not go out like that, Sweetie. I have a lot of things that have to get done but I will spend my morning with you." Cedric kissed her again and released her from his hold. He walked to the oven and picked out a biscuit that was slightly off and started to eat it. "You did a good job. I can tell that you tried your best."

"I really did! Thank you!" Yuki went and picked one up and tried it. "This is good. I was worried as I am not used to baking. Thank you for showing me. When it is lunchtime we will come into the dining room. Cedric will probably eat but I will not. I am not all that hungry."

"No worries. I know that human food will not sustain you. Just eat if you are hungry and if you are not then do not force yourself." Abigail smiles and waves the two out of her kitchen. "I will prepare lunch, go and freshen up."

Cedric took Yuki back to their room. "So there is going to be an uninvited guest. It is going to be the one that issued the bounty on your head. I want you to know that I will kill them as I do not take well to individuals trying to kill what is mine. So I want to know what you want me to do with them?"

"What to do with them? Hmmm. I guess it would depend if it is a woman or a man. If it is a man you can torture them for information but if it is a female there are all sorts of things that we could do. Obviously that individual is obsessed with you. Regardless of gender." Yuki looked up at Cedric smiling evilly.
