Hello! I have gotton reviews requesting a continuation of this, so I've decided not to ditch it. That's good. I really didn't want to ditch it either. I'm quite fond of this idea. However, as I have said many times before, I don't have too many ideas for it. I have some, but if you guys have any suggestions, feel free to send them in. I won't promise to put them in, but if I like them and can play off them, I will.

This chapter may be a little weird and what not. I'm still attempting to explain everything. So, please, bear with me.

So, all the reviews made me really happy! I adore getting them and ever since I started writing, I try to review every fic I read. I realize just how happy one little review can make an author. So to show my appreciation, I shall comment to each review!!

whycantigetadecentname: Thank you for the review! It's a short update, but here it is! I hope you like it.

angel0wonder: Thank you!! I definitely will keep writing this! I was just worried no one would like the idea. And if no one was reading, why continue? But if even one person reads this, it's definitely worth updating, just to make that one person happy!

ValykirieRevolution: Thanks! I, too, am kind of picky about AUs. But there aren't enough of them for House and I thought something like this would be cute. And it's fun for me to write! I am glad people can understand the characters (Well, I hope y'all can) since they're child forms of themselves and therefore act a little different than their future adult forms. But I hope no one has too much trouble with the situation. I'm really not good at explaining how exactly this works. That's why there's not much dialogue right now. (There's quite a bit in this chapter, though)

And last, but certainly not least...!

cryingblacktears: I squeed when I read your comment! Awww! You have no idea how happy I was! And just like Ravenna, you have to be a smarty pants, too. Hehe! Yes, everyone's called by their first name, but it's weird for me calling House 'Greg', so he prefers going by his last name! Because I am the authoress and I can do that! MWAHAHA! Anyways, it's okay if you don't care for femmslash; I used to not care for it, either. But anime changed that...It'll probably be a while before they get together, anyways. This is a slow, progressing relationship. For now, at least. I may get bored of waiting and that could change, but for now, it's slower.

And for everyone else, I hopre you enjoy this chapter and remember, I love getting reviews! Hinthint!


I yawned and stretched. My feet hit the edge of the bed and my hands hit the headboard. I was getting a little big for this bed. This is the same bed I had when I first arrived. I'm quite fond of it, too.

After a few minutes, I tossed the covers to the side, yawned once more, and headed for a bathroom. I stared at the floor as my feet moved me from bathroom to bathroom, searching for a door that was unlocked. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and SMACK! I ran right into someone.

"I'm so sor-" I looked up to see just who it was I carelessly ran into. I was surprised, and a little frightened, to see Amber sitting on the ground, rubbing her forehead.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" She looked up at me and her steel blue eyes narrowed. Then, shockingly, they brightened. "Hey, Ally! How have you been?"

"…Um, good…" I eyed her suspiciously.

"I'm so sorry for running into you! I so should have been paying attention. I got lost in thought. Sorry." She smiled at me. It seemed sincere enough, but if I've learned something for as long as I've been here, it's that Amber is not one to be messed with.

"It's okay…but it really is my fault. I-I'm sorry."

"No, no! Not your fault at all! Come on babe. Let's go for a walk!" She grinned at me.

"I-I was gonna go t-take a s-s-shower…" With each word I uttered, her stare intensified.

"But we never get to hang out, Allison." Her tone suggested 'Walk with me or I'll make your life even more of a hellish nightmare than it already is.'

"O-okay! Y-yeah, let's go…" I let out a nervous giggle. Amber always got what she wanted. Or she'd make you miserable.

"Did I ever tell you how pretty you are?" She smiled at me. "I really am quite envious of you."

"T-thanks" Even though she scared me a hell of a lot, I couldn't help but blush at the compliment.

"Oh, it's no problem. After all, it's the truth." She smiled happily at me. I shivered. I had seen Amber compliment people before and somehow, that never ended well. I always avoided her, or, when she'd start to comment, I always had Eric to cling to. Now, though, he was no where in sight.

"You look just like a doll, Ally. So pretty." She took my hand in hers and I noted that her hands were quite calloused. "And your skin is so soft. Unlike mine."

"Ehh…What about you, Amber? You're pretty too."

"Oh, I know. I've always known how beautiful I am. But I get the feeling you don't realize just how beautiful you are." She glanced at me and I took note that her smile had disappeared. It had been replaced by a haunted expression. And her eyes had shaded over.

"Amber, are you…okay?" My voice quivered.

"Oh, yes! I'm sorry. I was remembering something." Her smile had returned full force. But just as soon as it returned, it was gone again. "Hey, mute. What are YOU doing here? Can't you see Allison and I are having a PRIVATE conversation?!"

Remy just stared at her. Then her eyes wandered over to me. I blushed and stared at the floor.

"H-hey, Remy." I bit my bottom lip.

"Don't say 'hey' to HER! We're supposed to be ignoring her, remember?" My eyes snapped up to Amber.

"I don't remember that. And I like talking to Remy."

"You do, do you? You like her more than me? Allison?" Her eyes were glazed again and stone blue bore into bright blue.

"I…I…" I had no idea what to say. I guess Remy didn't want to cause any more trouble than she though she had and began walking past us. My eyes pleaded for her not to leave me. I had always wondered what happened to those Amber took as her 'pets', but I had no intention of finding out.

Remy kept walking. I felt my eyes tear up. She had seen my pleading eyes, but she was ignoring me. Just as she walked past me and the tears were about to fall, I felt her hand on mine. Her fingers wrapped around my small hand and she tugged on my arm.

She kept walking and I found myself being dragged by her. Amber glared and grabbed my other hand.

"Like I said, MUTE, WE are hanging out. Besides, what could Allison and a girl like yourself have in common? Hmm?" Much to my relief, Remy kept walking and my hand slid out of Amber's grip.

Just as Amber was about to say something else, Stacy ran over.

"Hey, Amber! What's…going on?" She was glancing from me to Remy to Amber and back to me.

"Nothing, anymore. Hey, Stacy, dear? Allison has decided she likes the damned mute more than me. Shall we show her what happens when people don't like me? Shall she be our newest pet?" I felt my heart stop. Stacy's eyes showed every emotion from reluctance to enthusiasm. Then she smiled maliciously.

"Yes, let's."


So, like I said, weird. I can't really explain Amber's personality except that she's kind of screwed up. She has a...different...past and behaves accordingly. She had always been adored by her father and now that she's here, she's just another troubled teen. And she doesn't like that. As for Stacy, she's not really malicious. She's just very loyal to Amber and will do whatever Amber wants her to do.

But yes, trouble for poor Cameron. Just how far will Amber take the torture? Keep reading to find out!
