Chapter 9: Soft and Dangerous

It wasn't long until Jack finally left his room to go to the kitchen and make up his dinner, unfortunately Flakes wasn't around still and was probably still outside. Realizing he was even looking for them he let out a groan and shook his head to focus on his work.

Meanwhile Flakes was out in the garden still admiring the flower they had found which was now more bloomed than ever, this seemed to calm them down a bit from a while ago but not enough to get their mind out the thought of him. They sighed as they gently caressed the flower petals with their finger.

"Do you think even the worse people can learn to love?" They wondered and obviously got no answer as they were talking to flower.

They sighed once more and laid on their back, looking up at the sky, daydreaming of what could be if Jack would ever return their feelings. The idea of cuddling by a fire, laying next to him, being able to give him kiss each day and just being his as a partner and not as some living trophy. They frowned in their thoughts but decided to not overthink it and head back inside as they were getting hungry.

As they were heading to the kitchen they were suddenly stopped by Jack's big hands making them jump a bit before looking up at him confused.

"You really are jumpy huh? Don't bother looking for something to eat i made enough for the two of us..." He was avoiding eye contact.

"Oh!" They honestly didn't think he'd even make extra just for them, so they just nodded and followed him into the dining room.

Jack was quiet the whole time they ate, however he would turn to watch flakes eat every now and then as if he was checking if they were eating enough. Luckily feeding them didn't seem to be much of a problem as they ate quite well, makinf Flakes let out a satisfied sigh. Jack couldn't help but grin.

"It's a good thing i made extra, you eat quite alot!" He teased as he got up dusting himself.

Flakes blushed and looked away with a nervous smile.

"H-heh sorry i was just really hungry i guess... your cooking is really good too..." They fiddled with their thumbs and internally screamed at themself to quiet down.

"Don't worry about it. It's why i made extra in the first place anyways!" He chuckled poking their belly. "Nice to see you're not picky though!"

Flakes blushed and wacked his finger away as they glared at him with a low snarl making Jack laugh.

"Whaat? Im just messing with ya! Look at me im not too picky either!" He chuckled and held on his belly to jiggle a bit.

Flakes watched him as a grin slowy creeped out their lips and slowly turned into laughter making jack roll his eyes and chuckle a bit in amusement.

"Well in my opinion i like your size... you look soft enough to lay down... or maybe snuggle to..." A soft purr leaving their body as they tried to reach out to touch their belly only to retreat their hand immediately, not wanting to make him mad.

Jack rose a brow at their sudden reaction but decided to ignore it.

"Don't bother cleaning up, thats what the maid's for anyways..." He said as he started to walk off only to pause for a while. "I don't want you sleeping outside this time..."

Flakes looked at them a bit confused.

"Well uh... should i sleep in a guest room? I mean i could also sleep on the couch?" They stood up only for Jack to walk back to them.

"No i want you to sleep in my room..." He didn't even stutter, he even seemed offended at their ideas.

Flakes was almost sure they were joking but as soon as they saw his calm expression turn to an impatient one they realized they were serious.

"W--wait but why would you want me in your room? I thought you'd prefer being alone?" Their ears couldn't help but twitch at the idea of even sleeping next to him.

"Yes but i would prefer you being close to me so you aren't too vulnerable to hunters... since you've exposed yourself to people I'm worried about loosing something of too much value simple because i let my guard down..." Jack rolled his eyes a bit before turning to walk to his room.

Flakes was now blushing, their ears twitching rapidly as they couldn't help but feel flustered.

"Am i really that valuable to him?" They thought as they started to follow him, a bit of hope in their heart.

As soon as they got to his room Flakes started to undress to change into something less formal and after undressing with Jack that morning they were a bit more comfortable knowing he wasn't watching them anyways. Or at leastthey thought, as Jack would glance at them while he undressed himself shirtless, he always seen them through the crystal ball or the magic mirror but now he could take in their details, the spots on their skin were such a lovely charcoal black color it almost made them look like a cookie with their brown skin, their fur didnt look too well brushed as some locks of fur would be swooped the other way, he wasn't completely attracted to them however he did admire their uniqueness as he has never seen features like theirs. Finally he looks away as soon he notices Flakes turning to them. Flakes, now in their sleeping garments they turned to Jack seeing he was in his boxers with no top clothing causing them to blush again as they admired his folds and curves before looking away, not wanting to be rude and stare. They decided to wait for Jack to lay down first so they wouldn't have to ask him "stupid questions", so as Jack laid on the right side of the bed they took it as a sign to lay on the left but give Jack his space. It was no surprise that his bed was massive, they wouldn't be too surprised if he had the bed made specifically for his size, however it was rather soft and very comfortable as the bed sheet's cloth was made of expensive silk and the pillows were as soft as feathers... maybe it was made of the fur of something illegal and endangered, it was definitely much better than sleeping on dirt and itchy grass. Letting out a soft purr as their ears twitched in comfort and slowly their eyes grow heavy and start to close. As soon as they had fallen asleep Jack slowly puts a blanket over themself before going to sleep himself.

The next day eventually came and Flakes woke up early like they usually did and left the room to do their new daily routine of making coffee and breakfast, shower and dress up. And now that they knew Jack wasn't a morning person they decided to avoid talking to him until he talks first so they just went on with their routine smoothly. But just like yesterday at some point they were alone in Jack's room waiting for him to finish his shower, they were repetitively looking at his magical mirror that was still covered by the curtains thinking of whether to talk to them or not, as they were eager for some answers on Jack himself. But as they were approaching the mirror and reached their hand out to push away the curtains they stopped to think, if they only get their answers through this magical artifact maybe they would never really have a chance with him... they needed to be brave and talk to him themselves... with that they slowly retreat their hand away.

"Dammit Flakes why are you like this..." They sighed as they looked at their hand wondering what was wrong with them.

It didn't take too long til Jack had came back to the room and dressed himself up.

"C'mon now we shouldn't waste anymore time. " He waved his hand weakly gesturing them to follow.

Flakes only nodded and did as told.

When they arrived the factory Flakes did their duties checking the stocks, the kitchen tools and other equipment and listed whatever was needed. Even checked the cleanliness of the place to see if it needed any deep cleaning done which seemed to be the case as their was quite a bit of gunk in some nooks and crannies, so they decided to take the info to Jack.

"Your bakers don't really do well with the cleaning do they..." They couldn't help but chuckle a bit making Jack raise a brow.

"Oh? And were you any better than them?" He sat on his chair, checking on his papers.

Flakes rolled their eyes before putting their notes down.

"Well i definitely knew better than to leave pie filling on the floor for so long it starts to harden and mold..." They pointed out.

This seemed to grab Jack's attention as the cleanliness of his factory was surprisingly important to him, maybe it was the FDA stuff? With this he sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Is something wrong?" Flakes frowned as they tilted their head.

"Well back then i only had to have a deep cleaning every 2 weeks or so since my bakers would do a pretty decent job cleaning up their mess! But now it's been a week and they already found a way to be slobs!" Jack huffed and got up to his telephone to call someone.

"I-i could try to discipline some of the bakers?" Flakes responded only to receive a laugh from him and make him put his telephone down.

"You? Discipline? Forgive me for my words here but as much as you are "the most terrifying creature of the land" you always let others walk over you like some doormat! Then again your fur also looks like a doormat with how unkept it looks..." he chuckled as Flakes held their ear's fur and blushed in embarrassment. "You're way too kind to others! Its why you got captured in the first place!" He added.

Flakes frowned as they then slowly held the amethyst gem on their collar, they couldn't help but pity themself at that moment and the sad part was that he was right. Sure most of their life they had been nothing but kind to others but it was all cause they didn't want to scare or hurt people, and that all their life they thought being good to others was the best way to live. But then again it was also the reason why they were so scared of people and kept being used by others.

"But if you really want to try go ahead and be my guest but to my concern you are pretty powerless without my assistance!" Jack chuckled as he continued on with his call on the telephone but not before givin them one more comment. "My advice to you little trophy, give in to your hostile urge once in a while..."

Flakes' ears drooped as they slowly left the room. At this moment they felt vulnerable and weak, but something was stirring inside them... they decided to ignore it and decided to do their job, as they observed the bakers they couldn't help but frown each time they saw some mess was poorly cleaned or just flat out ignored making them groan loudly at some point.

"Oh is something wrong Flakes?" The same baker who lost their ear, grinned noticing their annoyed expression.

Flakes only glared at them but decided to ignore him for now, however he didn't like that and in an attempt to grab their attention he decides to spill some pie filling on the floor causing Flakes to growl.

"Being a bit neat with your work won't harm you, you know?" They looked away trying not to loose their cool.

"Sorry I'm just a bit clumsy today! Woopsy me!" He happily chirpped as he drops an unbaked pie ont he floor.

Flakes' ears perked hearing it go SPLAT on the floor and turning back to see the mess. Unbaked crust scattered and pie filling spreading across the floor.

"What the hell is your problem?!" They barked at him only to receive an eye roll from him.

"My problem is this!" He points at the bandages over his missing ear. "Because of you i have this! If you only kept your mouth shut this wouldn't have happened!"

Flakes looked at him more angrier than before.

"I was doing my job?! You wouldn't even have to deal with that if you just did your job right!" They were starting to breathe heavy,their fangs growing like yesterday and feeling their hostility starting to grow they had to leave, they didn't want to hurt anyone after all. "You know what? I don't have time for this!"

With that they start to walk away but not without him saying one final snarky remark.

"Yeah go back to your precious owner! It's all you can do anyways! I don't even understand how you can like some nobody like him!" Oh how he wished he had just kept his mouth shut, cause as soon as he said that Flakes froze in their place and snapped a deadly glare at him.

"I'd suggest you watch your mouth there..." They snarled threateningly.

"Oh and what are you gonna do? Tell on your precious Jacky?" He laughed only causing Flakes to get even angrier.

"Shut. UP!!!" They barked as their fur and hair stood up as they started walking towards him.

"Face it! You are nothing without him! And even so Jack is just some lazy fat nobody! The only reason people know him is for his precious lil trinkets! Am I right yall?!" He laughed once more while looking at the bakers as if looking for some sort of approval only to notice the fear in their eyes, so he looked forward to Flakes only to notice their now hostile reaction.

"You keep your filthy mouth shut! Jack isn't some nobody! Hell he is higher ranked than you ever will be! You're damn lucky he even lets you live still! Look at yourself thinking you're so great when all you have to offer to his precious company is burnt pies and leaving unnecessary messes!" They snarled as their eyes started to change, while the baker stepped back and tried to look for a way out. "And dare you say "its all you can do" to me and that "you're nothing without him"?! I've done more better things for this factory that have pleased Jack's standards even BEFORE i became his trophy!"

They growled in rage as they walked closer to him to forcefully grab the back of his head and drag him to the splattered pie on the floor.

"Clean it up..." They demanded.

"But I-i don't have any cleaning supplies with me right now!" He was shaking and squirming trying to get out of their grip, they may have been a bit smaller but their strength was better than his.

"Oh i know!" They gave him a sharp toothy grin as they then shoved him down onto the pie face first, as soon as they noticed him about to get up they stepped onto his head to force his face back down onto the pie. "I may just be some sort of trophy to him but he knows how to take good care of me and even go so far to protect me and even give me some advices... and if there's one thing he thought me today its to not take shit from anyone LOWER to my level and MESS with me! So make yourself useful for once in your sad pathetic life and use your mouth to clean up this mess!"

The man sobbed as he was forced down to clean the mess, it was not at all sanitary as he never made much of an effort to clean his side of his station, Flakes wanted to feel bad but a part of them felt almost proud of themself that they finally stood up for themself. they were so focused and quite happy with their work, they didn't notice Jack had emerged out his trophy room and watched the whole scenario for himself, he seemed quite entertained and even a bit proud as a wide smile spread his face.

"Look at you putting my bakers in their place! Hehe! Him again too? Tsk well its good you put him where he belongs... I'm glad you took my advice... you're not as awful as I thought you'd be..." He gave Flakes a satisfied smile making their ears twitch joyously.

"A-are you pleased with my work sir?" They cooed softly, but as Jack gave them a few scratches under their chin their they purred as their heart melted and closed their eyes to take in the moment.

"Oh Its more than pleasing to me... you've entertained me well my trophy..."

Chapter 8: Those Eyes

After the incident Flakes was given the chance to take a breather in thr trophy room, the taste of human blood still lingering in their mouth. They never said anything about it but they had never tasted human blood in their life... not until now... it was oddly...

Refreshing...

They groaned rubbing their head trying not to think about it much as their hairs began to stand.

"Yeesh aparently working with one ear cut off is hard! Haha! Who would've known?" Jack walked into the room after taste testing a bafch, his smile then fades seeing Flakes in their stressed state. "What- what's happening? A while ago you were just fine after i fed you that ear!"

He seemed annoyed as he walked over to lift their head gently by their chin only for his expression to turn more concerned. Their eyes weren't in their same usual state, it was like a cat's eyes which pupils were constrict. He observed them more thoroughly, their heavy breathing, their hair more messy, fangs growing sharper, and their body oddly cold. Jack sighed in frustration but started petting their cheek trying to comfort them.

"I thought you weren't prone to blood addiction?" He tisked in disgust, forced to soothe them.

"Sorry... i just never had human blood... today was my first time tasting it... it was so... good..." Their pupils constricted more as they let out a frustrated growl.

Jack's eyes furrowed as they growled making him pat their cheek a bit harshly this time as if trying to get them to focus or calm.

"Hey hey stay with me! Stop that!" He tried scolding them only to receive a louder snarl from him only for them to freeze in realization of what they just did.

Jack looked at him also surprised from their sudden reaction. Finally seeing he needed to do a different approach to soothe them he starts caressing their cheeks gently, staying quiet as he did so. Flake's ears droop feeling his gentle touch, their breathing slowly going back to normal. Seeing how it was working better than hitting them he started to gently massage their ears making a few small noises leave their lips, this got Jack curious but also a bit intrigued. Flakes had closed their eyes in relaxation feeling his big hands petting them tenderly, small chitters leaving their lips.

"You feeling better now?" Jack huffed still annoyed and disgusted that he had to do this.

Flakes just nodded and slowly their fangs went back to normal along with their hair fuzz. Jack sighed in relief seeing they feel better as he glided his hand back to their chin to rub on gently and make them face him.

"Open your eyes..." He commanded in which he already was expecting for them to be back to normal, what he didn't expect was for them to be glimmering like those other times.

They were looking at him lovingly, they weren't smiling but their signature happy ear twitches were occuring in the moment. Jack then wondered why they would even like him in the first place. How stupid were they? How desperate were they? He wondered whatever could be in their head... Looking at their glimmering eyes again he felt more disgust while he finally lets go of their chin and scoffs as he walks away from them, leaving out the doors.

Flakes watched his expressions as he left making the glimmer in their eyes slowly die down as they frown. It was difficult to tell what their situation was with him, of what they were, it was like their heart was being played with over and over... then again as the mirror had said "perks of being his trophy was being taken care of" and maybe this was it. They slowly touched their face where he touched him, their heart fluttering still stupidly love struck. They tried to push away the thoughts as they decided to sit down to do their paperwork but all they could think of was him and how even just for a while he wouldn't look at them in disgust.

Drip... drip...

Why were they crying... Why did it hurt... They knew from the start they never had a chance... But why did the thought hurt so much still... Their hands started to shake as they let go of their pen, their vision getting blurry from the tears overflowing out their eyes. They had to pause, they wiped off their tears as they stood up to walk around trying to get their mind out of the negative thoughts.

"The feeling will pass..." Their voice cracked as eventually they calmed down...

They went through the day avoiding the thoughts... and avoiding him... they tried not to look at him nor speak to him whenever they could. It would save them from anymore heart aches.

Jack was waiting for his carriage outside like he was yesterday while Flakes was standing under the door way with Frank.

"Soooo how are you and your boyfriend?" Frank grinned only to frown when he sees their negative emotions. "Hey... you okay?"

Flakes closed their eyes trying not to cry and let the thoughts linger too long.

"Sorry just... Negative thoughts hit me hard today... I would prefer not to talk about it if that's okay?" They gave a weak smile.

Frank nodded not wanting to make them anymore uncomfortable and instead gave them a hug.

"Hey it's alright my guy! Today was crazy for you! You even ate an ear! Haha!" He laughed trying to brighten up the mood, making Flakes smile a bit, their mood lifting a bit.

While they were busy have their conversation Jack stole a few glances, glaring at Frank whenever Flakes' smile would get wider than usual. It made him feel uneasy without knowing why. He tried to look away and ignore them but hearing their annoying laughter was bothering him.

"Can you two keep it down?!" He yelled at them making Flakes' ears droop a bit.

"Sorry Mr. Horner!" Frank answered with a confused glare. "He's more grumpier than usual..."

He toned down his voice as Flakes sighed.

"I don't know what's with him today... for a while he was... oddly sweet but now he's... well that... but I honestly shouldn't even be surprised... he's Jack Horner afterall..." They looked at him still feeling down from before.

"I suppose so..." He answered with on more sigh.

Finally the carriage came by and Flakes was forced to get in whether they wanted to or not. And just like yesterday Jack gave Frank one more glare before leaving.

The carriage was quiet but only for a while.

"So what the hell is Frank to you?" Jack asked, catching Flakes off-guard.

"W-what? Frank and i are just friends... What kind of question is that?" They rose a brow as Jack frowned at them and looked away.

"I was just curious... But as you said before your relationships with anyone is no one's business..." he huffed. "I just dont want pathetic low lives thinking they can just capture what's already been caught..."

Flakes sat there genuinely confused but shrugged it off. The whole ride was awkward and quiet, it was almost deafening. As soon as they got to the mansion Flakes decided to head straight to the garden instead of heading inside immediately. Jack however went to his room to talk to his mirror.

"Oh there you are mister grumpy face! I was looking forward to talking to you!" He giggled as Jack glared at hi  and scoffed.

"I don't have time for your nonsense! I just wanted to ask a few questions before i leave you behind the darkness of the curtains again!" He sat on his bed still annoyed.

"Okay okay fine fine! Yeesh no wonder why Flakes slept outside yesterday!" He shook his head.

Jack looked at him with wide eyes hearing this. What did he mean by that?

"Haha I'm sorry but what?" He stood up trying to intimidate the mirror.

However the mirror never seemed to be intimidated by him.

"Nah ah mister you sit your big booty back down! You know your intimidation doesn't work on me! You need me!" He pouted and turned away.

Jack groaned and sat back down making the mirror smile.

"See? What a good boy you are!" He teased receiving an eye roll from him.

"Yeah yeah now please get on with the program! I don't want to waste much more time!" He crossed his legs as he pu5 his chin over his palm.

"So impatient! But fine! Since you don't remember let me put it out real quick!" He grinned and showed the scene he had shown to Flakes as well.

Jack sitting on his bed, glancing at his empty side and at his door, getting up to walk around as he was restless, his face clearly showing signs of dissapointment before he finally went to bed.

Jack watched this as his face slowly went red in embarrassment, he always hated it when he was showing any signs of vulnerability.

"That meant nothing..." He rubbed his eyes trying keep his composure.

The mirror frowned and sighed shaking their head.

"You were waiting for them..."

"I wasn't!"

"You clearly enjoy their company..."

"I tolerate it!"

"You're falling-"

They were cut off as Jack stomped his foot angrily.

"DON'T you dare finish that sentence!!!" He roared as the mirror looked at him dissapointed.

"What are you so afraid of..." The mirror looked at him still in disbelief and dissapointment.

Jack frowned and slowly held onto the curtains ready to shut him away.

"I'm not afraid of ANYTHING... you just don't know what you're talking about..."

And with that he closes the curtains... once again by himself in his room... he slowly walks back to his bed to sit down and think. His thoughts were foggy and he didn't want to admit it but he was lost and confused of his own emotions. His mind started to wonder, thinking of Flakes and that glimmer in their eyes... and there he felt that disgusting feeling was coming again just by the thought...

His eyes widened in this realization... he wasn't disgusted...

He was afraid of getting attached...

Chapter 7: Just a Taste

Flakes was slowly woken up by the morning due dripping on their face making them blink a few times before finally getting up and stretching themselves. They looked around remembering they slept in the garden by the flower they found last night. They took a deep breathe taking in the morning scent of plants and slightly wet dirt surrounding them before looking down at the now bloomed flower making a smile grow on thir face.

"Oh good morning!" They smiled bright as they nuzzled the flower and gave it a sniff, a faint but sweet smell emitting from it.

They looked around one last time to adore the morning scenery before sighing in satisfaction and leaving the garden and back into the mansion.

Meanwhile Jack was also starting to wake up, he groaned in frustration as he never really was a morning person. He slowly stood up and stretched his arms out and left his bed to put a robe over his half naked body. Yes he was one of those people. He left downstairs and into the kitchen, supposedly to make a cup of coffee only to see Flakes had already done that and even left a few pieces of toast for him.

"Mornin!" Their ears twitched happily only to pause, seeing his grumpy face. "Oh... not a morning person i see... well uhh I'm gonna go take a shower if that's okay?"

Jack just looked at them as if waiting for them to leave. So they decided not to bother him much more and just head the showers. Jack watched them leave and sighed as he sat down to drink his coffee and eat the toast prepared for him. He knew Flakes meant well but it was too early for their lovey dovey crap and especially not after last night. As flakes got into the shower they were a bit surprised by how big it was as it was custom made for Jack's size, they wanted to question it at first but decided it was just like that and took the shower they needed. The shower was pretty nice as it was large enough to coat their whole body, it was almost felt like rain on their skin. However they were so focused on their shower they got startled by the knock on the door. They yelped and turned the shower off to see who was behind the door.

"Hold on! Im done anyways!" They called before wrapping a towel around them and opening the door revealing Jack behind. "Oh! Yeah you can have your turn! But before i step out uh... can you tell where my clothes are at?"

Jack looked at them for a while before shaking their head a bit and finally answering.

"In my room in the 2nd closet." He looked away from them as Flakes smiled and walked pass him to find their clothes.

Jack looked back at them before groaning and getting intot he shower himself. Flakes looked through the closet a bit confused seeing a few other clothes that they dont recall having.

"When did i have a purple suit? Actually when did i even have purple clothes in general?" They kept looking around but eventually found their baker clothes to put on. Once they finished dressing up they decided to look around Jack's room for a bit as they had alot of time in their hands while Jack was still in the shower. It was the simplest room out fo all the rest, there were not a single magical item in sight. However something caught their eyes which was a mirror on the wall that was covered by a small curtain so they decided to push them aside to take a better look in curiosity.

"Ah! Flakes! We finally meet!" It greeted making them jump and fall onto the floor in surprise. "Oh sorry! I guess you weren't expecting a magic mirror! Hehe!"

Flakes blinked but chuckled shaking their head and standing back up. At this point they shouldn't be too surprised by the fact any place Jack owned was just filled head to toe with magical artifacts.

"No I honestly thought you were just a simple mirror! But I should've known better! Wow you are shiny though... I'm guessing he polishes you daily?" They grinned.

"Guilty! Hehe not complaining though! Keeps me clean and spotless unlike other people would do!" He was surprisingly cheery and sassy for being also a property of Jack.

They wondered how Jack tolerated them with such a bright attitude.However if Jack was complaining Flakes wasn't, in fact they were actually quite happy seeing as they have company here in the mansion now.

"Hehe I'm guessing with that he stole you from someone?" They smiled and got comfortable to listen to their new found companion.

"Of course he did! He wasn't content with my copies that provided hundreds of channels! So he stole me! The one and only VIP specifically for queen maleficent, all knowing and all seeing mirror! So he had some theives to take me and it was a long story so I'll save you the details! So in short, stolen, hidden in box then later on was handed to him and now im here! And let me tell you he is NOT the nicest! But again at least he takes care of me! Speaking of care where were you last night? You got mister grumpy extra grumpy!" He pouted playfully.

"... Huh?" They tilted their head confused.

"Oh you are adorable dear! But last night before he went to bed he seemed to have been looking for you! He didn't seem to be happy when you didn't come to bed with him last night!" He grinned as Flake's face started blushing.

"Oh please him? I find it hard to believe..." They laughed off their blush.

"But why would I lie? You two had such a moment last night! It's almost like you brought a whole different side out of him! You even made that grouch smile over something that isn't violent or magic related!" He giggled.

Flakes frowned as it sounded too good to be true.

"Sorry it's just... it's Jack Horner... it's hard to believe..." They looked away rubbing their arm and laughed awkwardly.

"Okay fine fine if that's case let me show you instead!" He smiled and put out the scenario of what happened yesterday.

Jack was sitting on his bed with space on his left, he wasn't  really smiling, but it was clear from his body language he wasn't comfortable and he kept looking at his door and his empty bed side, he would get up and walk around a bit, but eventually finally layed back on his bed and went to sleep but he seemed dissapointed. Flakes watched it with their very own eyes but still had difficulties believing it.

"Are you sure he wasn't just... restless?" They asked still unsure how to feel.

"Oh I don't think so! Not with how often he kept looking on that empty spot he left for you!" He giggled. "You left your mans hangin you tease!"

"He's not mine!" They barked, still in disbelief. "I'm just his property!" They added.

"Are you sure?" He smiled softly. "What if there was more to it than you think?"

Flakes looked at them still unsure but jumped a bit when they heard the doorknob turn making them put the curtains back to where they were in a hurry. Jack walked into the room and looked around before his eyes stuck to Flakes. He sighed and looked away to the closet to get his clothes.

"Remove that, I don't want you wearing that anymore, I need you to wear more professionally for work for now on." With that he tossed a purple suit onto the bed.

So that's why they had those in their closet, they thought. They decided not to question it like usual and take the clothes to a different room to change only for Jack to stop them.

"There isn't a part of you I haven't seen before, you might as well change your clothes here to avoid wasting anymore time." He explains with a serious expression on his face as he started taking off his robe making Flakes blush red and turned away.

They swallowed the lump in their throat as they were nervous but started to undress since they didn't want to anger him. They looked back only to see Jack was also turned away so they sighed in releif as they took off their clothes confident they weren't at least being watched. The suit was very comfortable as it enveloped their body nicely, it wasn't too tight to suffocate them nor was it too loose to feel awkward. They couldn't help but smile as their ears twitched seeing how nice they looked in their new garments.

"You done looking at yourself there?" Jack called out impatiently as Flakes yelped but nodded. "Good. Cmon now we don't wanna be late!"

He rolled his eyes as he straightened out his suit and lead the way. Flakes watched him leave and sighed, his current attitude was making it harder for them to decipher if what the mirror showed was real or not. They decided to push the thought aside as it wasn't important and go along their day like it was any other day.

When they arrived into the factory Jack explains to them their new duties as his personal assistant which is to taste test the batch of pies for him, to count how many are shipped out per day, and to assist any other baker who seemed be behind. It didn't sound too hard honestly and so while waiting for the bakers to show up they decided to help Jack with his paperwork first.

It wasn't until the shift truly started when things took a turn, and what made them realise how much more difficult this job was. Since someone had burnt a whole batch of pies and Flakes had to witness it with their very own eyes.

"Flakes please don't tell Mr. Horner!" He begged as they frowned.

"B-but I have to! If he isn't informed by the pie loss he won't be able to buy the proper ammount of supplies to make up for the burnt pies..." They tried to stay calm and speak professionally as they looked at the notes on their clipboard.

Thank god Jack wasn't there to witness them, they probably would've thought they were being too kind, they thought.

"He won't notice! Its just a few pies!" He kept trying to get out of his situation only making Flakes more irritated by the second.

"He WILL! It's Jack Horner!!! And if I dont tell him I will be the one to get in trouble! Not you! Me!" They snarled at him.

The baker frowned and glared at them in a bitter and sour manner as they crossed their arms.

"Of course out of everyone here you'd be the one to care the most about your reputation with Mr. Jack Horner! What? Do you just follow him like some stupid dog now? You think you're so high and mighty now that you're under his care!" He laughed as Flakes' ears slowly drooped.

They growled angrily and gripped tightly on the clipboard in their hand almost breaking it.

"OKAY YOU LISTEN HERE YOU PIECE OF SHIT! I'M JUST DOING MY JOB! MY RELATIONSHIP WITH ANYONE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY WHEN YOU ARE IN THE WRONG HERE BURNING A BATCH OF PIES AND TRYING TO CONVINCE ME NOT TO TELL ON ANYONE!" They roared out at him angrily, their fangs showing off in a way of intimidation, causing attention from everyone in the factory.

The baker was startled and afraid seeing Flakes suddenly bare out their fangs, but he puffed out his chest refusing to loose in their argument, maybe he was being too cocky since it wasn't Jack himself in front of him.

"Well I shouldn't listen to you in the first place!!! Especially when you're just some pet to Jack Horner anyways!" He tried to laugh but was frozen in his place as soon as Jack himself stepped into place.

"Not listening to my personal assistant huh? Just because I'm not the one in front of you DOESN'T mean you should get all cocky and STUPID! And don't you dare get me started with my trophy! They are more useful than you ever will be! Burning a batch of pies BAH!" In anger he pushes the burnt pies out of the table before slamming his hands down.

The baker was now truly terrified, his face pale and cold as he was towered over. While Flakes just watched still angry at him.

"You don't disrespect my trophy ever again... got it?" He said in a dark tone.

He nodded as he was now speechless. Jack however wasn't satisfied and grabbed a knife from one of the work tables, he needed to make sure he truly did learn his lesson.

"However since you refused listen to them I think the only appropriate punishment for you is to show WHY you should listen to them in the first place!" He placed the knife under their ear as he gripped tightly onto their shoulder so they wouldn't escape.

"W-wait wait! No no! Mister Horner please I'm sorry!" He sobbed and trembled in his mercy.

Jack just rolled his eyes with a sadistic grin and lightly pressed the knife onto his ear making blood drip down his, eyes looking at the blood then at Flakes wanting to see how they would react. Flake's eyes leered down onto the blood dripping but didn't react too much.

"I learned something yesterday! Apparently shapeshifters like blood!" He snapped his fingers to grab Flake's attention and signal them closer. "Hopefully that you listened to!"

And with a clean swipe he cuts off his ear making the baker scream in agony as his ear falls to the floor. Jack then finally let's go of him and picks up the ear on the floor to dust off on the baker's clothes. Flakes' eyes looked at the ear still showing no reaction until Jack clicked his tongue making them look up at him.

"You want a treat?" He smiled softly yet you could feel how sinister it still was.

Flakes' eyes widen in surprise along with the baker's as he watched in horror, his ear being hovered over Flakes' lips.

"You've been a good trophy!" His smile slowly turning more sinister by the second as he watched the hunger in their eyes.

"Y-you wouldn't..." The baker weakly stuttered.

"Oh they would! Just watch!" He chuckled as Flakes gave it a sniff before finally taking it into their mouth and eating it aggressively and letting out a low growl as they ate up their "treat".

The baker just helplessly watched in fear and disgust as his ear was devoured within seconds. Jack smiled, pleased with his work as they gave Flakes a gentle pet on the head.

"Now if ANYONE disrespects them... let this be a "friendly" reminder... maybe I'll do even worse! Depends on my mood!" He let out a small giggle in amusement of everyone's fear in their eyes... except Frank who seemed just as amused as the first time.

Flakes stared down at the baker with dark wide eyes, watching the blood trickle down his face hungrily and slowly licking off the blood on their lips... suddenly craving for more...

Chapter 6: Sweet and Salty

Jack sat on a chair as Flakes dabbed a bit of antiseptic alcohol making him his and flinch away.

"I know it hurts but i need to clean the wound..." They pouted only to receive an eye roll from him.

They huffeded in response and grabbed his arm forcefully and dabbed the wound a few more times and then wrapping the bandage around the his hand.

"You know you didn't have to help me... you're only wasting your time..." He glared at them only to receive a huff again.

"Well unlike you i actually like to help others! Even if the one im helping is some jerk!" They hissed at him a bit before covering their mouth. "S-sorry..."

Jack's eyes widened a bit in surprise from the sudden hissing but laughed receiving a judgemental look from them.

"You're getting all feisty with me all of a sudden hehe! Why's that?" He chuckled now focused on Flakes' reactions, completely forgetting his hand was being taken care of.

"Well i guess its just my natural instincts... usually i can control them better if im full human but i guess with the uhh... collar it brings out more of me..." They laughed nervously as they cut the bandage short to seal it.

Jack looked at them curiously, their facial expression showing they weren't comfortable showing their hostile side. He let out a chuckle as he shook his head.

"You know being a bit feisty isn't all that bad... look where that brought me!" He smiled proudly of himself.

Flakes smiled and shook their head.

"Again im not like you... i like being quiet, i like being a pacifist and i like hiding in the shadows!" Their smile faded as they said this.

"You're a really bad liar... ive said that before haven't I? Hehe you really need to work on that..." He chuckled as Flakes frowned more.

"How's your hand? The bandage isn't too tight is it?" They responded, trying to change the subject.

Jack rose a brow as he looked at his now wrapped hand and moved it a bit to test.

"It's fine... But you're clearly trying to change the subject..." He chuckled standing up to continue his cooking only to stop when he saw the worry in their eyes realizing they were bothered by something. "You're afraid of something... aren't you?"

Usually the fear of others was entertaining to him but he's never seen them intentionally show their's. Flakes was the kind of being to be scared but never to show it and keep their head high even if they already were trembling their face never showed that kind of vulnerability.

Flakes closed her eyes and took a deep breathe and stood up walking off to grab the pan they had set aside.

"I rather not talk about it..." They looked at their reflection through the pan in dissapointment before handing over the pan to him.

Jack looked at them as he set the pan down, he wasnt gonna be able to continue cooking until he got some answers. Flakes looked at them wondering why he was even so invested in their story, but they soon figured out it wasn't that he was worried, but more on the fact he was curious and intrigued.

"You're my belonging, i think i deserve to know don't you think?" He chuckled.

Flakes sighed and nodded as they leaned onto the kitchen table trying to gain the courage to talk.

"You know that book you read? Saying how we're all hostile,  deadly and blood thirsty? Well it's not completely true... First of all we don't attack others just because we can, we do it because we have to... people think we're deadly because of our shape shifting abilities and how we use other species to kill or intimidate others..." They frowned looking away.

"And what about the blood thirst business is that one just lies too?" Jack seemed a bit confused but he was listening quite well.

"No unfortunately that one's true... we like blood... it's what gives us the energy to shapeshift in the first place... the more blood we take in our bodies the more stronger we are... unfortunately just like everyone we get unhealthy addictions... some of us fall to that faith and get out of hand and end up doing anything just to get more blood into their system! It doesn't matter where it came from it doesn't matter who its from and it doesn't matter how they get it! And with people attacking us it gets awfully easy for us to get a hold of that need... they fight, we defend ourselves, they die... then we eat them..." They were quiet for a bit.

"That sounds cool!" Jack chuckled as Flakes just looked at them with a rose brow but sighed remembering who they were talking to.

"But that's why i rather stay quiet, stay calm and stay hidden..." They looked away again and closed their eyes trying to calm themselves.

"Are you prone to that addiction?" He asked intrigued and curious.

"I could be... i mean the taste of blood is good sure but its not enough for me to kill anyone i see just to get it... it's the kind of liking where if i get my hands on it im just grateful! If i did have an addiction i probably would've bitten your hand instead of helping it!" They laughed a bit.

Jack looked at them for a while before walking off to his fridge to get something.

"What are you doing?" They tilted their head and followed.

He then pulled out a large raw steak and handed it to them before giving them a pat on the head and walking back to the stove.

"A treat for being good trophy this far." He chuckled and finally started cooking.

Flake's eyes widen as the large raw steak was handed to them. A bit of drool seeping out the corner of their lips, they gave the raw flesh a sniff as their ears twitched in delight of the fresh smell.

"How long do you think you can... finish that..." Jack smirked and turned back to them only to be surprised seeing they had finished it all and was now just licking the bone.

Flakes looked at Jack only now realizing they wha trey had down and swallowed what was left before looking away blushing a bit from embarrassment on their feral eating.

"How long have you not eaten?! That was the size of my hand!" He seemed genuinely shocked they consumed something big so quickly.

"I-in my defense i haven't eaten anything fresh in a while... also i haven't had unicorn flesh in so long..." They licked off the blood on their hands as Jack proceeded to stare.

"You're sure you dont have an addiction?" He grabbed a tissue to hand over to them.

Flakes only glared at them as they took it to wipe their hands and lips.

"All us shapeshifters eat like this! I-i think... or maybe i really am just disgusting..." They laughed a bit to themselves.

Jack tried to take away the bone from them to throw into the trash only to receive a terrifying growl startling them so they smacked their face with the spatula in their hand.

"Hey! No!" He frowned still genuinely surprised from the hostile growling.

"S-sorry! Sorry! I- really didn't mean to i- i have food aggression!" They whimpered as they handed over the bone.

Jack sighed taking it to throw out. He then paused remembering something.

"How did you even know the steak was unicorn meat?" He was back to focusing on his cooking.

"Ah well... I've hunted down some animals in my past to eat... Unicorn meat just so happened to be one of my favourites, its got a sweet but salty taste to it and not to mention its really juicey and soft... im drooling aren't i?" They looked at Jack a bit concerned for themselves as a bunch of drool was dripping down their chin.

Jack looked at them and laughed, causing him to almost mess up his cooming. Flakes rolled their eyes and giggled a bit before wiping their face with the same tissue they had before.

"So you really like meat! Haha!" Jack finished up his cooking to set aside the dish onto a counter.

"Okay so maybe i do! To be honest i never really noticed til now! I usually live alone after all!" They smiled feeling a sense of comfort with him, it was odd but it was nice too...

Flakes looked at the dish on the counter top and took it in their hands.

"I'll bring it to the dining room for you. Your hand still needs rest." They smiled againa nd walked off.

Jack rolled his eyes but a small smile crept onto his face.

"Fine fine but only if you keep talking about your species! Your book doesnt give you any justice!" He snickered.

Flakes does a fake offensive gasp as they set down the food on his seat.

"Heeeey! I didn't write it!" Their ears twitched happily as they stood aside to let Jack have his space.

Jack chuckled shaking his head as he sat down to finally eat but paused and looked at them who was standing away from him. He sighed and got up to pull a chair next to him making Flakes a bit confused.

"You don't have to always give me space. I would much prefer you to be close, its easier to look at you that way..." He gave them a serious look this time.

Flakes'eyes widen seeing he wanted their company but smiled as their ears started twitching, their face now redder as they were now just flattered by him. They didnt wast any time and sat down with him. Jack let out a small chuckle seeing their pathetic flustered face.

He ate peacefully while Flakes avoided looking at him as he did, not wanting to be rude. However he let out a quiet cough making him grab Flakes attention. They looked at him immediately and saw he was holding out a spoon full of his food.

"I want your opinion on how it tastes..." He demanded.

Flakes just shrugged and took the spoon in their mouth, their eyes glimmered at the taste makung their ears twitch again.

"It tastes really good!" They chirpped as they licked their lips.

There are those stupid eyes again, Jack thought.

He glared at those eyes but shook his head out of the thought and instead smiled cockily.

"I didn't teach myself culinary to be a bad cook after all!" He smiled proudly of himself.

Flakes giggled looking at them full of love in their eyes but slowly that smile died down again... with thay they stood up.

"May i be excused? I need some fresh air..." They looked away not wanting Jack to see their current expression knowing he could read them well.

Jack could care less and just nodded.

"Yeah yeah go ahead. Again just dont go past the gates. " he reminded.

Flakes then took off to the garden and rubbed their head. They felt confused and overwhelmed...

He was nice... why was he nice... he already got what he wanted and yet he wasnt being a full jerk like they felt they should be.

They kept walking inthe garden looking for the flower that they found before. Once they found it they sighed and sat next to it.

"This is all so confusing... We had a moment together... i know it meant nothing but... My heart can't help but want more... But i also know he wont want more... This is Jack Horner for pete's sake!!!" They whimpered and laid next to the flower. "And here i am talking to a flower... you probably cant even understand me..."

They sighed and looked up at the stars, their eyes getting heavy only now feeling how tired they actually were. Today was alot to take in but that was just the beginning...

Slowly as their eyes closed shut to sleep the flower bud next to them slowly bloomed.

Chapter 5: A New House

"Damn so a shapeshifter huh? I would have never guessed with your human disguise!" Frank looked at their new features in awe as they stood outside by the doorframe waiting for Jack to call on Flakes for their ride home.

Flakes sighed and shrugged.

"Yeah well apparently to Jack i was obvious even with my disguise! And now here i am stuck with him... at least im not dead..." They chuckled bit.

"Yeah but now your dream on being with mister big man is finally coming true!" He laughed at his own joke as Flakes laughed along.

"Yeah but i didn't mean it like this!" They pulled on their collar trying to give Frank a proper view on it.

"Dang... it looks expensive!" He looked closesly, taking in the details.

"Well that's cause it is! He even bragged on and on about how its all purple and shit how the silver stuff is real silver and yada yada!" They laughed a bit as they ended up admiring the collar themselves.

"Well purple is hard to get to..." Frank added as he also admired the collar. "It's a nice shade too!"

"I hate to admit it but yes it is kinda nice... doesn't change my opinion on the whole living trophy bizz tho..." They sighed and looked up, seeing Jack was still waiting on his carriage so they had time to talk still. "However I hate to admit that the idea of being his is intriguing me... I'm not sure if it's really me or if it's my animal genetics talking but something about him keeps pulling me in closer... kinda like a blackhole but instead of trying to get away from it i just let it pull me closer..."

"Have you always been this cheesy?" Frank laughed and received a playful punch on the shoulder.

"I'm having a moment here!" Flakes rolled their eyes as they giggled a bit.

"Flakes!" Jack called, grabbing their attention.

A black carriage was behind him that was being pulled by what looked like colorful horses. He was eyeing them as a signal to follow him.

"I have to go... see ya tomorrow Frank..." They smiled bitterly and walked off to hop into the carriage quickly, not wanting to get him impatient. Jack gave frank a deadly glare before following in as well, with that the carriage takes off. 

"The hell did i do?" Frank asked confused as he noticed how Jack looked at him.

As Flakes sat in the carriage quietly they couldn't help but be bothered by the loud silence. And being in a rather thight and closed space with Jack it wasn't helping with their disturbance. They wanted to talk but knowing him, he probably didn't want them to be a chatter box the whole way through the ride.

"We're not too far..." Jack finally spoke up as he noticed Flakes' expressions as he could read them well.

They only nodded and sighed in releif hearing that the journey wasn't going to take too long as they tapped their fingers on their arm waiting. Jack rose a brow and let out a bored groan.

"At a time i want you to be chatty you're now awfully quiet..." He glared down at them.

"Oh... Sorry i honestly didn't think you'd even wanna hear me talk..." They rubbed their arms a bit anxiously.

"Well normally yes but at an awfully quiet place like this it gets incredibly boring! So a bit of sound is appreciated..." He laughed as he looked around the close space.

"A-aren't their magical items that make music?" They stopped rubbing their arms as if they genuinely wanted to focus on their discussion... in which they did.

"Yes but I don't like the idea of having any of my collections in different places other than the trophy room and my mansion. Ever since i decided to be careless of my belongings when i went to find the last wishing star and then lost just about all my magical artifacts i decided to be a bit more careful about them from then on. Haha! Can you believe that though? Me? Being careful? Hahaha!" He let out a loud laughter.

Flakes blushed watching him so, it was almost cute seeing him like this and so close. Jack sighed as he wiped the tear out his eye before looking back at flakes.

"But that being said, with you by my side for now on i hope you can cure my boredom whenever i need you to entertain me!" He smirked.

"I'll do my best Mr. Horner sir." They nodded obediently.

Jack then pouted and placed his finger onto his chin.

"What's wrong? Did i say something bad?" Their ears flopped not wanting to dissapoint him.

"Well now that you're my trophy I don't like it when you call me that..." He tapped his finger as he kept thinking.

"W-what? Mr. Horner?" They tilted their head confused. "But i always call you that..."

"Yes but now it doesn't suit you... For now on just call me Jack! It will make you look less awkward and make you more intimidating to others!" He smiled as he booped their nose.

"I-im sorry but h-how would me calling you Jack make me more intimidating?" They asked.

"Well it will show your place with me! People will understand that you're more than just a magical entity i captured! You're like uhh..." He thought for a second before finding the word he was looking for. "My personal assistant!"

Flakes wanted to say something but shrugged, it didn't sound too bad anyways. Finally the carriage stops and the door was opened for them by their rider. Flakes decided to wait and let Jack go out first as they didn't wanna disrespect him. As soon as he got out they followed him and took a look at their surroundings, their jaw dropped in awe as the massive gate was enough to stun them. The gate was painted black and had the symbol J.H. on the top middle part, this man really was full of himself wasn't he...

"Are you coming in or are you gonna let yourself freeze to death outside?"

Flakes was so distracted by a simple gate's decor that they didn't even realize he had already opened them. They perked and ran forward to catch up to him. As they went in their eyes sparkled as they looked around in fascination, all the open space, the hedges and plants, however no flowers but that didnt seem to be a surprise to them since Jack didn't seem that kind of person anyways. The path way they walked on seemed to be made of gold making them tilt their head in the familiarity of the texture.

"Is this?" They looked up at Jack who seemed to be grinning in pride of his riches and his belongings.

"Yes it is in fact the golden path that leads you all the way to the emerald city! I had some men hired to dig up pieces of the pathway for myself to keep! They can't be the only ones to have such a pretty road afterall!" He seemed really proud of this, if egos had a physical form it would be all over his face by now.

Flakes nodded as they looked down one more time before looking around again as they couldn't help but be amazed. The more they looked the more things they saw that made them awe. Jack watched their facial expressions as they kept looking and he couldn't help himself but smile a bit. It wasn't long til they were finally in front of the large mansion doors, Flakes' ears rose in anticipation while Jack took his keys to unlock and open them. Once again Flakes decided to wait for Jack to go in first, only this time Jack stood aside as he held the door open as if insisting them to go in first. Flakes' ears twitched in excitement as they didn't hesitate and ran in to look around their new environment. They walked over to one thing after the other but didn't touch anything. Jack was still watching them as they took pride on their fascination. It was like watching a puppy who was brought home for the first time in years.

"So are all you shapeshifters this curious and easily impressed?" He chuckled.

Flakes blushed but laughed in embarrassment as they shook their head and walked back to them.

"N-not sure really. I don't normally leave my house for my own safety so this is all pretty new to me." They smiled and looked at him as their eyes still glimmered in excitement.

What stupid eyes Jack thought before he chuckled and patted their back.

"Go ahead and look around just try not to break anything." He started walking off only for Flakes to follow for a bit.

"Wait but i thought the collar would choke me if i was too far from you?" They whimpered in fear, remembering the first time it choked them.

"Don't worry as i said i have control of your distance, and right now you have a pretty range from me just don't go out the gates." He looked back at them before walking again. "I'll be in the kitchen."

Flakes nodded as their ears twitched rapidly and started running around the mansion as if they were in zoomies. With how excited they were they practically just opened each door, stating what the room was and closed them immediately.

"Bathroom! Woah a library?! Oh more magical artifacts! Oh! Uh..." They paused looking in the room seeing a massive man eating plant. "... im gonna pretend you dont exist!"

They slowly closed the door and continued to run off from door to door. The place was huge, they were able to see other rooms that not all houses had, they were also able to startle a few servants and maids who lived in the mansion...

Finally they decided to go outside and admire the garden. It seemed as this was their favorite area as they took their time here and took in every detail. They were a bit disappointed about the fact there were no flowers or at least they thought there were no flowers, because after a while of looking around they found a small bud hidden behind a few bushes.

"Oh! Well hello there little bud!" Their ears rose as they hopped behind the bushes to sit down next to the baby flower.

Their ears twitched as they nuzzled the bud gently and gave it a sniff. It had no scent yet which was no surprise since it was still little but it didn't matter. They were just happy to see a flower as it reminded them of their old home out in the forest. Their ears then dropped as they let out a sigh and looked up only now realizing their situation after the thought of home, they got so excited with their new environment they almost forgot they were stuck with Jack. They closed their eyes and tried to transform into a different creature only to fail and get tiredm, they frowned seeing it really was no joke that jack had control of their magic. They looked up once again before taking a deep breathe and getting up to find Jack. It was best they didn't think much of it.

It wasn't hard looking for him as they already have seen the kitchen, they just didn't decide to bother him before. They tilted their head as they walked closer only now realizing he was doing the cooking.

"You do the cooking?" They asked a bit surprised.

"What never seen a big man like me cook?" Jack looked at them and chuckled.

Flakes looked at them up and down seeing he had removed his coat and pulled up his sleeves, Gods did he look good though, they thought before shaking their head to focus.

"No it's not that. I just thought you would be having someone else do it for you since you're uhh... you know... filthy rich?" They looked down at the table looking at the ingredients before them.

Jack laughed at their reply as he put his knife away to face Flakes properly. They only tilted their head waiting for a response.

"Well i would but i honestly don't like other people's cooking! I like my own yknow? Besides if i hire someone to do it for me i also risk someone poisoning me!" He chuckled and went back to chopping his ingredients.

Flakes nodded and watched for a bit.

"Do you need help?" They asked with a smile.

"Oh uhh sure?" He seemed a bit surprised at first but still commanded them without looking away from their work. "Can you get me a pan?"

Flakes smiled more, nodding and went to look for a pan, luckily it wasn't hard to find as it was just on a hanging rack. They managed to grab it but flinched to a sudden sound.

"Ahh!"

They looked at Jack worriedly and saw he had accidentally cut himself with his knife, making their ears flop.

"Crap! Are you okay?" They set the pan aside before running back to jack to check his cut.

"Bah! Im fine its just a cut!" He winced as his palm bled from trying to peel a potato only for it to slip out his hand, he let out a chuckle to hide away the pain he was feeling. "Its been a while i accidentally cut myself like this h-haha!"

Flakes frowned and took his hand gently making Jack look at them confused.

"It's a pretty bad cut tho..." They whimpered looking up at him before pulling him to a sink.

"What the hell are you doing?" He groaned as he followed anyways.

Flakes just looked at him and at the wound as they gently pulled it to the sink and turned on the tap.

"You should clean the wound at least... but I'll get you a bandage just in case!" They gave a soft smile as then ran out the room to find a bandage.

Jack looked at the door where they left. Confusion filling him.

"Im sorry what?!"

Chapter 4: Beneath You

Flakes sat on the desk in the trophy room still in disbelief about the situation they were in. They looked up seeing Jack sitting on his chair with a smug grin as he looked down at them. They would be furious right now if it werent for the fact they still in shock.

"S-so what?! Im now like some sort of property to you?!" They managed to finally speak up.

"Well i wouldn't say property but more as my living trophy! It's not often you see a shapeshifter!" He placed his palm under his chin still observing them, amused by their reactions and expressions as he usually saw the quiet and calm side of Flakes.

"Yeah cuz most of us are dead! While half of us still alive ones are hiding away from any civilization! Of course we're not oftenly seen!" They yelled only to receive a chuckle.

"And yet here's one right in front of me! Say can you tell me if all shapeshifters are this small? Or is it just you?" He teased and received a glare.

He was like a child who had just gotten a toy they had wanted for a long time. He was excited, amused and fascinated in this moment.

"C-can you please take this seriously for a second?! Why capture me? Why didn't you kill me like every other shapeshifters faith? How did you even find out i was a shapeshifter in the fist place-" They were cut off rudely by Jack pressing their lips together to shut them up.

He seem agitated but somehow still had a smile on his face.

"You talk too much for someone who's under my control..." He chuckled before letting go. "But I'm in a good mood so ill answer your questions! It's the least i can do after capturing you! Now first of all i didn't kill you because i would prefer you alive, just the mere sight of you makes people's skin crawl and i love that scare factor you give on others. Not only that but your shape-shifting abilities would be some use to me, sure i have a lot of men under my control but their power is ehhh... its not the best! But you on the other hand? Ohoho you're a killing machine!"

"Please don't call me that..." Flakes cringed a bit.

"And about me finding out you were a shapeshifter? Well it wasn't hard to find out! I had a book about all sorts of magical entities and after studying about your kind it was only a matter of observing you closely! Also you were pretty gullible and clumsy enough to believe all the things i say to get your little ewrs twitching!" He grinned.

Flakes pouted and touched their ears in embarrassment.

"Stupid ears..." They muttered.

"Oh also crystal ball! It was easy to track you down with it once i found you suspicious!" He held the ball proudly in his hands that showed an image of Flakes in the moment.

Flakes covered their body immediately after hearing this, feeling an immediate lack of privacy as their face went red in embarrassment.

"I think i saw you shapeshift at least 3 or 4 times this week? Also you have a lot of splotch marks on your furless skin!" He quietly laughed watching their facial expression of horror as they felt violated.

He's seen them nude?! They thought in panic and shock.

"I-im sorry- I- You stalked me?!" They barked.

"Well of course! How else was i supposed to be extra sure you were a shapeshifter?" He snickered as he got up to set the crystal ball away on his bookshelf of other magical items.

Flakes was fully enraged as they let out a growl and tried to pounce towards him to scratch him on his face only for him to move out the way quickly, making them slam face first onto the shelves instead.

"O-owww!!!" They whimpered holding onto their nose as they fell to the floor in pain, checking if their nose was broken or bleeding after the impact. Only for their arm to be grabbed harshly and pulled towards Jack's face in an intimidating matter.

"Well someone's being a bit feisty now huh?" He gripped tighter making Flakes let out a inhuman cry in pain. "I'd break your arm or throw you against the wall right now... but as i said i need you alive and whole..."

With that he lets go, dropping them to the floor. Flakes scooched away, trembling in fear and pain as they rubbed their arm in agony. Jack's eyes looked at the pained expression on their face before looking at their collar that seemed to shake a bit making him sigh and bend down to pick them up genty and set them on his chair for them to be comfortable. He caressed their cheek while a look disgust formed on his face as he did so.

"I didn't hurt you too much did i?" His voice was soft and gentle...

Flakes looked at him and frowned, they could see right through him, his lies and his acts... but despite everything they were still were an idiot in love... letting him pretend just to feel something.

"Im fine... you didn't break my bones, don't worry..." They responded with a sigh.

"Good... i wouldn't want to break you so quickly..." He checked their arm for a quick second for any bruises or damages before pulling away and opening his drawer to dig through and look for something.

"What are you doing now?" They asked anxiously.

" About your claws... since you tried to scratch me..." He glared at them for a while before looking back in the drawer.

Flakes looked at them worried and held their own hands and poked at their own nails.

"W-what about them?" They frowned.

"Well i don't want you getting any other ideas again..." He pulled out a pair of nail clippers and put his hand out, asking for their hand.

Flakes frowned more as they looked at his hand. They've always loved their claws and made sure to maintain them but now they were being taken away.

"B-but-" They wanted to complain but was cut off once again.

"You tried to scratch me didn't you? This is your punishment... maybe in time when they grow back I'll let you keep them... But as of now i need them off..." He looked at them sternly.

Flakes paused but nodded in sadness as they hesitantly placed their hand on his. Jack smiled and gently pressed his thumb on their knuckles and massaged them as if trying to soothe them while he started to trim down their once sharp nails. However it wasn't helping much as they watched their nails get clipped one by one they couldn't help but let out whines and whimpers as a few tears brimmed out their eyes. It felt like their dignity was being taken away. Jack noticed and let out an annoyed sigh so he wiped their tears off with his stained thumb.

"Shhhh it's okay. They'll grow back anyways okay? What do i have to do to rid of this negativity you feel right now?" He was forced to do something to make them feel better or else their capture would be all for nothing... he didn't admit it but he did keep the man's words in mind.

Flakes seemed upset still and didn't know how to respond so Jack groaned as he decided to think of something by himself. So he cups their cheeks and pets them in hopes that would soothe them even just a bit. It seemed to have work cause they finally stopped whimpering and started cooing in his hold, their ears twitching happily in his touch. Jack couldn't help but look away in disgust as he continued petting them.

"T-that feels nice..." They cooed softly.

"Yeah yeah you better be enjoying it you lil freak..." He then finally let's go and dusts his hands on his suit. "Feel better?"

"Uh... yeah i guess..." Flakes blushed, a bit surprised from the petting as they touched their own cheeks.

"Good. Now that you seem calm we can finally talk about what's next for you!" He held them by the scruff to make them sit on his desk so he could go back to his seat.

"W-what? What do you mean?" They asked genuinely confused.

"Patience! Let me talk for a minute here! You already did alot of talking in the past few minutes!" He growled a bit but continued. "Now you're gonna live with me for now on!" He was cut off making him pout in annoyance.

"What?! Why?!" They got their lips pressed shut again by his fingers.

"Cmon can't you be quiet for a second here and let me finish?!" He yelled making Flakes finally go quiet as he lets go of their lips. "Thank you! Ugh! Now as i was saying! You're living with me for now on so no other hunter decides to hunt you down! Since a part of your true form is exposed you could become an easy target for them! Since aparently your species is that terrifying to the point that everyone wants to kill you!" He laughed a bit in disbelief. "I personally don't see why!"

Flakes raised their hand wanting to ask a question which Jack rolled his eyes to.

"What now?" He groaned

"Why not just let me use my human form completely?" They asked straight forward not wanting to agitate Jack any more.

"Well i done want people thinking i just have some low life human next to me! I want them to know i have a rare powerful magical beast! Its bragging rights! And even if you kept your human form I'm pretty sure you already exposed your identity to the rest of the bakers out there!" He chuckled as Flakes frowned as if the realization just dawned on them. "Now i also don't feel like having to look through my crystal ball all the time just to see what you're up to! So to make it easier for me you'll be living with me! And don't worry about your stuff i already got my other servants to go get them for me!"

Once again Flakes raised their hand.

"You can talk now! Im done!" He groaned once more as he rubbed the brdige of his nose.

"Okay so uh- I'm not gonna ask about the whole sending your servants to get my stuff bizz since you already explained about the creepy stalking me thing. S-so i just got one question and that's... what makes you think I'll even stay with you at your place?!" They glared at him waiting for a response.

"Well you don't really have a choice! Unless you want to choke yourself with your collar be my guest!" He chuckled.

"Fuck..." Is all they could say.

"Also you clearly like the idea of staying with me anyways since your ears are twitching." He grinned wide.

"DAMN EARS!!!"

For context

Jack can't sew for shits. He WILL prick himself and somehow tangle his hands in the strings and out of spite he doesnt gets his clothes fixed by a tailor and just buys new clothes. HOWEVER he can hella dance.

Now Flakes here cannot dance AT ALL they have no rhythm and they trip ALOT. BUT they can sew really well

So im thinking of Flakes teaching Jack to sew and then Jack teaching Flakes to dance-

Chapter 3: Playing With Strings

Eversince that day Jack had been oddly nice to Flakes and it was raising their suspicions. There was no reason for him to be so nice all of a sudden... right?

"Great pies! Keep up the good work!"

"You look great today by the way!"

"I like the technique you do to put the pie crust easier on the tin!"

His words echoed in Flakes' head, what was he trying to do? His flaterry had to be some sort of trick... and the pathetic part was despite knowing there was a catch to it they were flattered and flustered by it. Everytime he complimented them their face would go red and their ears would twitch in joy or excitement. They had lost count how many time they had to hold onto their ears when they started to twitch more rapidly than usual, even almost showed their real ears at some point. They wanted something from them, they knew it  and yet they were still falling for the oldest trick in the book.

"Ughh get out of my head!" They muttered as they were kneading their dough aggressively all of a sudden.

Frank had this smug grin just watching their friend all flustered.

"Cmooon just admit it! You stiiiill liiiiike hiiiim!" He chuckled.

"For the love of pies can we please stop talking about this?" They whisper shouted.

"Nooo not til you admit you still like him!" He laughed. "Because you clearly do! Its practically written all over your face! Well... more like its painted since... you're literally just red!"

Flakes pouted before groaning and covering their face.

"Look i know i said the feelings would go away but Mister Horner himself isn't helping! Why the hell is he being so nice all of a sudden?! It's stupid obvious he wants something from me!" They took their pie and put it in the oven and started their next batch.

"Myessss but you seem to still like hearing those sweet things he says huh?" He teased with a wider grin.

"Frank... i will kill you before mister big man does if you keep teasing me like this..." They laughed a bit as they received a laugh back.

"You say that cause im right!" He smiled.

"Yeah yeah... well you always are! You shouldn't be too surprised anymore!" They sighed before getting back to focusing on their work.

Meanwhile Jack was where he was as usual but was talking to someone through his telephone.

"Mister Horner sir You need to understand that this task could be difficult!" The man through the phone spoke in worry.

"I don't care! Do you even know who you're talking to?!" He barked in anger. "I need that collar IMMEDIATELY I have something of value so close to my reach and YOU'RE HERE MAKING THIS MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT SHOULD BE!!!"

"Sir please! If your assumptions are correct this could be dangerous even for you! Its known that shapeshifters are very dangerous creatures!" The man fumbled.

"Yes and very rare!" Jack smiled excitedly at the thought. "Which is why i need this collar immediately! Not buts or coconuts or whatever they say! Just shut up and get me the stupid thing! I can handle it myself!" With that he slams the telephone down, hanging up the call.

Aparently it wasn't hard for him to find out their lil secret. Specially when you have a book about magical entities and a crystal ball to stalk whatever you wanted to hunt for. He studied of their species night and day just to learn all about them, from the twitching of ears when they felt joy, how they chitter when they like or want something, how easy it was for them to study other species bodies and replicate them with ease, how they shake their bodies to transform faster and his personal favorite... when a shapeshifter attacks, they won't let their victim out of their grasp until it was dead. And with Flakes accidentally slipping so many times it was almost too obvious what was right in front of him. He wanted it, he NEEDED it, a powerful beast by his side would make anyone else unfazed by him on their knees before him and at his mercy.

He had been playing with their heart for a while and he was getting sick pretending to be sweet for them, all those compliments, all those unnecessary conversation, and all those disgusting fake smiles? Bah! It was fun at first but now it was just repetitive and felt like a waste of their time just to make them warm up to him and expose themselves by accident. But now that he's finally sure of their identity he just had to pretend one last time... he just needed that collar...

The next day came and Jack was waiting impatiently. But finally a short man knocked on the door with their briefcase of supplies looking nervous.

"Ah that must be him!" Jack perked and sat up excitedly. "Come in come in!"

The short man walked in still nervous and worried.

"Sir can't we talk about this first?" He said in a stutter as they gripped tightly onto their briefcase.

"Uh no? I'm trying not to waste my time here! Less chatter and more open the breifcase so i can see the collar!" He yelled impatiently.

The man frowned but opened the breifcase revealing a beautiful leather collar stained in purple with silver linings with an amethyst jewel with a silver frame in the middle of it to compliment all the purple and on the side was embroidered with the words  "Property of Jack Horner" neatly sewn on it. Jack smiled in satisfaction of the collar's outcome as he took it gently in his hands and admired it.

"A pretty little collar for a pretty little beast!" He seemed pleased before the man started talking again making him pout in annoyance.

"Sir you have to understand what you're dealing with here! If they find out your plan to capture them it could be fatal for you! Shapeshifters can be terrifyingly hostile, this has never been done before for a reason! It's dangerous-!" He was cut off as Jack was tired of listening to his nonsense blabbering.

"The more reason to want them in my collection! Now do you want to keep chatting or do you want your pay?" He glared as he handed him a heavy sack of gold and jewels.

The man frowned but took the sack and left to the door.

"Just one more warning sir... you may have full control of their power once they have the collar on but note if their emotions are at their worse it WILL break off..." With that he finally leaves.

Jack only shrugged it off and scoffed before looking at the collar once again to admire.

"I've got them wrapped around my finger! What is he so worried about?" He chuckled as he recalls the moments of Flakes' vulnerability.

How their face went red on the simplest compliment of their appearance, how they forced not to smile when they were told they were doing a good job, and when their ears twitched simply by seeing his presence. They were practically head over heels for him and it was so painfully obvious to him that he almost felt bad about how awfully easy it was to read them. He was so confident about this that he knew that it would be too easy to capture them... and he was going to test that theory.

The doors were slammed open and once again Flakes was startled, they never seemed to get used to the aggressive way Jack opened doors. Flakes sighed ignoring it for once since they wanted to finish their batch of pies, thinking he had business to do anyways that had nothing to do with them they thought.

"FLAKES!" Well they thought wrong.

They perked a bit in surprise hearing their name in the middle of work. Usually when they conversed it was after they were done getting a batch og pies checked or when they were heading home so this was a bit new to them. That being said it didn't mean they weren't going to cooperation since this is still Jack Horner. So they put their unfinished pie away and walked forward to him as a small smile grew onto their face.

"Yes Mr. Horner sir?" They stood there waiting to see what he needed... or in this case wanted...

"Well I just wanted to give you something! Since the past weeks you have been a very valuable employee to me, little to no mistakes, perfect pies and most of all you're my most behaved baker!" He smiled as he pulled out a box to hand over to them.

Flakes' eyes widen in surprise as they were hesitant to take the gift. Now they knew this was a trick, Jack would never give something just because he wanted to... it wasn't like him to do so.

"Mr. Horner sir this is really nice of you but i-i can't accept this! I'm just doing my job afterall!" They responded trying to look for a way out of this.

"Don't be so modest! Don't you at least wanna see whats inside first?" He grinned as he nudged the box towards them.

They did though, a part of them was curious of what they wanted to them so badly. They sighed and shakily took the box from his hands before opening it. But as soon as they opened it they wish they had just declined the gift like they originally did. Their face was red in embarrassment by the sight of the expensive looking collar, from the amethyst pendant, the embroidered words that said "Property of Jack Horner" to the soft paddings inside to make sure it was comfortable to wear. The more they looked at the details the more their face started to heat up.

"S-sir i-" They wanted to say something but was cut off.

"Beautiful isn't it? I thought you might like it! I mean after all collars are trending at the moment!" He grinned seeing their flustered yet confused face.

He always found it entertaining when he made them feel vulnerable beneath him, it made him feel powerful especially when they were such a powerful beast... Flakes' eyes were shaking as they proceeded to stare at the collar in disbelief.

"Sir i-i can't..." They stutter as they tried handing back the box to him.

As Jack heard this he frowned and looked away a bit agitated.

"Oh how come? Is it not good enough for you?" Jack grinned from within knowing how much Flakes would fall for the guilt tripping.

"What?! N-no no!" Flakes stammered as he didn't want to dissapoint him.

"I had it made specially for you! It's worth so much since... I wanted to make sure it would be equal to your worth... what? Do you not appreciate me? Do you not appreciate my efforts for you?" He traced his finger on the collar gently as if it was a way to tease them.

Flakes looked up at him in disbelief in what they were hearing then looked down at the collar seeing their own reflection through the amethyst jewel... And all they could see was a fool...

"I-i do appreciate your efforts! But-" They were cut off.

"Then wear it..." He said in a demanding tone.

They looked at Jack one last time before finally taking the collar and hesitantly taking it to their neck as Jack watched in anticipation, they closed their eyes in humiliation as they felt his eyes burn through them. Why were they even doing this... they didn't have to... what were they looking for in this?! To be accepted by him? They swallowed the lump in their throat and opened their eyes unable to have the courage to proceed so they looked up at Jack as if looking for an answer what to do.

"Well? Are you going to dissapoint me or please me?" Jack grinned knowing they couldn't say no to him.

All they could do was nod and shut their eyes once more...

Click

The sound of the collar's buckle made as they were locked in. Their eyes opened as they slowly pulled their hands away from the collar to show it off to Jack.

"See? I-i love it! It's stylish and comfy too! H-haha!" They smiled nervously only for their smile to immediately fall once they started feeling a sharp pain everywhere. In their ears, their finger tips, their feet, their tailbone and their face as they were forced to shift into their true parts.

"A-ahh! What the hell is going on?!" They whimpered in agony as their tail was forced to grow out of them, their ears growing into their original state, face markings revealing themselves, their fingers growing paw pads and claws and their feet tearing out their shoes as massive claws grew out.

All eyes were staring in pure shock at them... except Frank who seemed amused. Flakes looked at them in horror as parts of their true form were revealed.

"Oh and i forgot to mention! This collar? It makes me have control of how much magic that you get to use!" Jack grinned evilly with pride as Flakes looked at them in pure terror.

They scrambled and started trying to unbuckle the collar off only to find out the buckle was no longer there due to its magic, so they started trying to scratch it off only for nothing to budge.

"Get this off me! Get this off me! Please! Please!" They begged as they kept trying to pull off the collar only to receive a dark chuckle.

"I don't think so... As the long as that collar says "Property of Jack Horner". You? You're mine now whether you like it or not my little shapeshifter..." He smirked as Flakes shook their head and tried to run away from him only to get choked by the collar making them stop on their track and start coughing and gagging weakly. "I wouldn't try running off either if i were you... as long as you wear that collar i have full control of your magic usage and your distance away from me... you're stuck here... with me..."

Chapter 2: Predator Eyes

Weeks have passed and Flakes had been warming up to their new environment pretty well so far. And surprisingly they haven't been yelled at by their boss due to their good work and lucky for them their pay has improved well and they had been able to pay for their bills, not only that but its enough money for them to treat themselves to nice things every once in a while. They had been living decently at this point and they wouldn't want anything else to change... and yet the past days they couldn't help themselves but let their eyes linger to him... to the big man himself. Everytime he stepped out of the trophy room they wouldn't waste the opportunity to steal a few glances and admire every inch of him, it was difficult to hold in their chitters every once in a while. He was just so intoxicating...

However with their small desires there was a small bit of fear in them that lingered. As everyweek or so they would notice new magic items being brought into his room as a new part of his collection and being a magic entity themselves they couldn't help but imagine the possible awful things that would happen if they found out, they could end up like all of their other ancestors but instead of being buried 6 feet under they could have their head mounted on a wall just as another piece for his collection. The thought was enough to make them shiver, they could only hope that they never find out of their true identity.

Meanwhile Jack was sitting on his massive chair polishing some of his new baby unicorn horns looking a bit frustrated while looking into his crystal ball which seemed to be showing the factory.

"How could i let something slip into my factory so easily?!" He growled before picking up the ball and shaking it. "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SHOW ME THE MAGICAL ITEM ITSELF YOU USELESS BOWLING BALL?!"

He yelled at the crystal ball clearly frustrated. Ever since he got himself a new crystal ball he had been bothered the past few days as he had discovered that a new magical item was just within the very walls of his factory. Someone had to be keeping it away from him, but the question was who. It had been days now and it would be a bit difficult to search who had it since he had finally hired a dozen men. But that WASN'T gonna stop him. He sat down to think but slowly a grin crept into his face as an idea came to mind.

While Flakes was still baking and lost in focus they were startled by the two doors being slammed open.

"Okay everyone because aparently one of you thought it would be funny to tease me by keeping a magical doodad in this factory to yourself and oh i dont know NOT hand it over to me like you should?! So I decided that for now on I'll be doing surprise checkings until either i find it or you hand it over to me!" He had this smug grin as if he thought he was smart about his idea... and he kinda was.

While everyone murmured wondering about this magical item, Flakes' face went pale. Their mind started racing only to be interrupted by the a baker next to them.

"Damn who do you think has been teasing him?" He muttered at them.

"W-what?" Flakes looked at him confused

By the past few days Flakes couldnt bother to befriend any of the bakers as they didn't want to get attached to anyone and didn't feel the desire to do so as they were never the social type however they managed to at least make one friend who went by the name of Frank. Frank was oddly calm, maybe too calm and had little to no worries and it showed inside and out. He was in some way annoying and the only reason he seemed to haven't been fired or killed was because of how fast but well he baked. But Flakes grew to be quite fond of them.

"You know one of the rules! Don't bring anything magical into the factory unless you decide to hand it over to mister big man!" He always called him that in their conversations "You know his collection is never gonna be enough! Even if the magic belongs to someone else he'll probably just take it! Probably kill the owner too! Who knows? I do!" He laughed but only for Flakes to shiver.

"Frank!!! Flakes!!! I don't have all day!!!" Jack yelled while everyone else was already forming a line.

"Good luck bud! Here's me hoping you didn't set yourself up for death!" He chuckled before walking to the line.

Flakes gave them a sarcastic thumbs up as they walked behind them. They were last in line so it took a while til it was their turn, they could feel their heart beat rapidly in fear. They were hoping the line would end quicker but also they were hoping the line would stay till it was time to leave. With their mind rushing they didn't even notice it was their turn.

"Arms up!" Jack commanded with an annoyed look in his face.

Flakes yelped a bit before lifting their arms up. All of their fear was now being pumped into their heart beats rapidly. However as soon as they felt their body being touched by his large hands it felt like all their fear went away and was now replaced with that feeling when they watched Jack from afar... Desire. At this point they just wanted him to take their time to savor the moment, feeling his fingers press on every nook and cranny while he searched them made their spine tingle and their body grow warm. They didn't wanna show they were enjoying this. They also seemed to be doing a good job hiding their true identity as their human form had no flaw to show, but they were also doing a good job hiding their desire for him... for Jack. Their eyes watched his expressions as he searched them, they were lucky he wasn't looking at their face or they probably would've died by now they couldn't help but just watch him like a hungry predator. But as soon as their sides were pressed harshly their daydreaming was disturbed as they let something slip by accident...

"Chitter chitter!!!" They shut their mouth immediately as their face started to go red in embarrassment while they shivered in panic.

Jack was taken back from the new sudden sound that left their lips, his brow rose as he looked at them confused and surprised. Seems like he wasnt the only one feeling this way as everyone else's eyes looked towards Flakes equally confused.

"What in the world was that?!" Jack laughed a bit.

"I-it was just a sound of pain sir!" They hoped they couldnt see through their red flushed face.

However Jack wasn't buying it. He looked down at them unimpressed with their lie.

"You know if you're gonna lie at least do a better job at it! What?! Do you think im some kind of idiot?!" He laughed.

"M-mister Horner sir i-i promise im not lying!" This was it this is how they die...

"You know i don't like liars! I should fire you right here right now!" He grinned as he was entertained by their panic state.

Flake's face dropped in sadness hearing this, especially when they were starting to enjoy their job.

"N-no sir! No please!" They almost wanted to get on their knees.

All eyes were watching them feeling a bit pityful as everyone in this room has been at that same position they were in at least once, even Frank. And Flakes now was no exception. Jack only looked at Flakes with a smug grinn as if waiting for them to break.

"I was flustered sir!" They spat it out immediately as their face started to grow redder.

They stood there hoping this would save their ass... and luckily it seemed to be working as Jack's grin grew wider as if he was entertained by the poor thing's humiliation.

"Well seeing as you decided to be honest with me i guess i could let you stay!" He chuckled. "But remember this employee... you lie to me again and i promise you that the last thing that leaves your lips is your begs for mercy! And that's not a lie!"

With that he turned away and walked back into his trophy room leaving Flakes standing there still red and now speechless.

"Damn you almost got yourself killed there..."  Frank stated only to receive a glare from Flakes.

"You fuckin think?!" They snarled still startled from what just happened before sighing just relieved they survived.

They went back to their station but not without looking at the bakers staring at them every now and then so they gave them a low growl making them finally mind their own business. They never liked it when eyes laid on them, it made them feel vulnerable and that was the last thing they ever wanted to feel. They let out one more sigh before finally getting back to work.

Meanwhile in the trophy room Jack was watching Flakes from his crystal ball, he knew something was odd about their behaviour since day 1 he just didn't think it was a big deal until now. He suspects them more than ever, he just needed to make sure of it. He didn't want to come to any conclusions and scare them off. After all they were one of his best bakers.

Time passed and it was time to clock out. Flakes sighed as they put their card away before looking back at the factory. It never seemed to change how it made them feel. Intimidated yet excited, how it triggered them to run but also to stay. But what bothered them was how they felt about the one who runs the place. They thought by now their small attraction would go away but it only seemed to have grown stronger, what was it that lured them in anyways? The intimidation? His size? His voice? His dominance?! What was it?! They knew their species was always attracted to power but of all things HIM?! The power hungry sadistic irredeemable ugly bastard?! Flakes' thoughts were cut short when a familiar voice was heard.

"Earth to Flakers!" Frank waved his hand in front of their face hoping to get them out their daydreaming.

"H-huh? Oh sorry i was just thinking..." They smiled nervously.

He only gave them a raised brow as if he didn't believe them.

"Nooo i don't believe you... you know what? Mr. Horner was right! You're a bad liar!" He chuckled as he crossed his arms playfully.

"What?! What do you mean?!" They snarled.

"Your face is all red and blushy!" He giggled in amusement.

Flakes froze and only grew more red as they touched their cheeks only to feel them burning.

"Excuse me?" Is all they could say before receiving a playful punch on the shoulder.

"You got a crush on the big man himself dont ya!" He laughed only making Flakes' pupils shrink.

"T-that's absurd! I don't! My face only goes red cause of fear! That's all!" They scoffed in hopes it wasn't that easy to see right through them.

"Right... cuz being scared definitely makes our face all red and not pale! Right right sure i believe that!" He shook his head. "Wow you suck at lying!"

Flakes pouts before rolling their eyes and started pushing him to walk only now realizing they were still in the factory's door frame.

"Okay so what if i have an attraction for mister power hungry? Its not a big deal! The feeling will fly away at some point!" They puffed out their chest confidently.

"And if it doesn't?" Frank added with genuine curiosity on his face.

This question was enough to make them pause... they haven't really thought about that... They honestly thought the feelings would go away... Then again its been weeks and yet the feeling has only grown more since then...

"I-it will go away! Just trust the process!" Is all they could think of.

Frank just shrugged and decided to continue walking home with them and stop with their questions. Flakes let out a sigh trying to calm themselves down, they were just glad no one was listening in to their conversation or they would never hear the end of it.

Little did they know Jack was watching through his crystal ball. His eyes a bit wide in surprise after all he's heard.

"Wow... i thought of them as a weirdo but not so weird to have attractions for someone like me!" He couldn't help but laugh. "Then again who could blame them? Im powerful and oh so disgustingly attractive!" He chuckled as he straightened his jacket.

He looked back at the ball and grinned as he traced his stained thumb across the glass to clear the view a bit more.

"But if you're so attracted to me then who am i to push you away? Especially when you're actually helping me! I just wonder how much your little heart can take once i start playing with it!" He eyed flakes throught the crystal ball. "I'll find out what you're hiding one way or another even if it means i have to break you..."

Chapter 1: Importance Vs Desire

It was like any other day, the disturbing aura of the factory releasing heavy smoke in the middle of what seemed to be a lake or an ocean. It was running well like it always did with bakers of plenty running around doing their best to be quick but also precise with their job as any little imperfections could make their boss enraged. Ever since the incident of wishing star plenty have assumed on his death, however it wasn't the case, his return even struck fear onto others and made them more sure not to mess with the big man himself.

However after his journey it was clear he didn't have alot of bakers nor magic trinkets left in his factory, not like that was gonna stop him from anything. It was a mircale his factory even got any people to come and get hired from, maybe it was the good pay, maybe it was the bragging rights or maybe it was a death wish. That being said he had a small line forming in his trophy room which had a few new magical items in store, some say the trophy room was a way of intimidation and if it was it worked well.

"Little to no experience in baking and yet you thought you could just let your idiotic self step into MY factory?!" The large man yelled in frustration at the much smaller man before him. The man only shook in fear where he stood before trying to speak bravely.

"I-i just thought since you needed new bakers you would-" He wasn't even given time to finish his sentence as he was cut off immediately.

"I-i just thought-" Jack said mockingly before looking at him with frustration. "You think just because i need new bakers i would be DESPERATE enough to accept low lives like you?!"

He snarled before getting up from his seat and picking up the man effortlessly by his collar and throwing him out the room. He could've sworn he heard a few bones breaking, not like he could care.

"Take this man away! He's utterly useless to me!" He rubbed his eyes with his thumb and his middle finger as if he was starting to get a headache.

Not too far was a different person just outside the gates of the factory. Their hair was black with a few bronze highlights, eyes dark brown almost like the color of coffee. They stood there observing the large gate in front of them intimidated by the aura the factory gave. They swallowed the lump in their throat before looking down at the resume in their hands, they had been from bakery to bakery in their past but only for them to eventually resign. Why? Well it was because the owners of the bakeries never paid them well despite their full efforts. They sighed trying to gain the courage to open the gate only to stop as soon as the man from before came out limping making them once again intimidated.

"Maybe i should just go back to being underpaid..." they said to themselves as they started to turn around only to be called by a guard making them cringe a bit.

"Hey. What are you here for?" The guard asked looking at them with a stern expression.

There was no way they could back out now. Well there was but their anxiety wasn't letting them. They took a deep breathe trying to gain the courage to speak up.

"I'm here to see Jack Horner for a job interview..."

The guard only stared at them for a while as if in disbelief  but nodded and opened the gate for them. Finally they stepped in and started walking past the big door into the factory and now walking to the trophy room, with each step their body grew heavier and heavier. Inside their body was screaming for them to turn back while they could. But before you knew it they were knocking on the very doors to the trophy room. NOW there was no turning back.

"Oh what is it now?!" He yelled through the door clearly annoyed.

They frowned in fear by the tone of their voice.

"Im here for the Job interview Mr. Horner Sir!" They managed to say only to hear a groan in return.

"Another one of you idiots huh? Fine come in! You can't be worse than the previous one or else this time im throwing you out my window!" He sat on his chair as if he had his expectations low.

They could feel chills crawl down their spine as they touched on the door to push open. Their eyes couldnt help but linger around the room scanning on each trinket that laid on the shelves neatly, each of them dusted and/or polished at least he seemed to take care of his valuables. Finally their eyes looked forward now seeing how massive he actually was in person compared to their rather small body. They stood there absolutely nervous on failing the interview but also terrified that this is how they could die.

"Make it quick i don't have all day!" He puts his hand out as if asking for their resume.

They only nodded and handed over the piece of paper but not without taking a quick glance of their purple stained thumb, they'd be lying if they said it wasn't kind of cute. Jack glared at them before looking into their resume.

"Mutliple bakeries huh? What you thought those were too good for you?" He scoffed.

"No sir i just wanted more pay..." They decided to answer straight and quick as an attempt not to waste his time.

Which seemed to have amused him a bit as his face had softened a bit.

"Okay then tell me what makes you think I'll hire you so easily?" He stood up and walked towards them as if it was an attempt to intimidate them.

However for them it was less intimidating but more intriguing. They could feel their face heat up as they watched them tower over them.

"I have alot of experience with baking sir. If my resume isnt enough proof i am more than happy to prove myself physically." They seemed brave on the outside but inside they were screaming in absolute agony.

They knew if they were too brave they'll fuck up, but if they showed too much intimidation they'll also fuck up. Since if they showed too much bravery he would think they were cocky, but if they showed that they were overly intimidated he would think they were too pathetic for the job.

"Prove me huh? And what exactly should i do if you prove yourself to be useless like the rest of those who have failed to impress me?" He grinned as he kept looking down at them.

A small grin, that had to be a good sign right? There was no way they could screw this up now, not when it seemed like the opportunity was so close in their reach. They just had to grab it.

"I can handle whatever punishment i deserve for my mistakes sir..." They hoped that was what he wanted to hear.

Jack looked at them up and down before walking back to his desk to pull out a uniform from one of the drawer, placing the garments on the desk and sliding it forward.

"You're the least pathetic one out of the rest who decided to come in here... you start tomorrow. If the uniform doesnt fit make it fit i don't care!" He let out a small laugh before sitting down.

They perked in surprise and tried to hold in their excitement they immediately walked over to take the uniform while nodding in appreciation.

"Yes sir! Of course sir! I promise i won't dissapoint you!" They tried to hold in their smile.

"Yeah yeah! Just dont be late!" He glared at them only to notice their ears twitching in an odd manner making him slightly confused.

They only nodded again before walking out the door. Jack looked at the door still a bit confused by the ears movement but shrugged it off before looking back at the resume to read what their name was.

"Flakes huh? Well isn't that a stupid name!" He shook his head laughing before tossing the piece of paper aside.

Flakes walked home rather happy with themself, their heart still pounding from the adrenaline. They skipped home and set their uniform aside before letting out a tired sigh. The interview was enough to stress them out, the intimidation Jack gave with his big body, the terrifying glares, and the tone of his voice... and yet despite the intimidation they couldn't help but feeling something else there when they looked at him... They needed to let loose. With one more deep breathe they shook their body as they slowly transformed into an unidentifiable creature, fur in many places, large paws and feet with strange claws, fluffy ears and a fluffy tail to match with all that fur. They stretched their body a bit before laying on their couch. They had been a shapeshifter in disguise for as long as they could remember, ever since people started fearing their species and killing them. Unfortunately because of this they had been become much harder to find. Luckily for them it wasnt uncomfortable to shape shift and stay in a specific form for so long. That being said it didn't mean they dont miss their real form, they were soft and warm like this after all. Tomorrow was a big day so they needed all the rest they could get now, with that their eyes slowly drifted to sleep.

The next day finally arrived and Flakes was awaken at 6am by their instincts. It was rare for them to wake up late and today was no exception and luckily that was a good thing. They stretched their body before shaking their body to turn back into their human form before getting up to the kitchen to make quick breakfast. Bacon, egg and toast seemed good enough, it was quick to prep too. There honestly was no rush honestly since it was still awfully early in the morning they just wanted to make a good impression.

They took a shower once they finished eating and once they were out they put on the uniform they left on the table. Surprisingly it was a perfect fit, maybe a tad bit loose on the sleeves but it was almost perfect. They smiled admiring the uniform only now noticing how well made it actually was, they half expected it to be made of cheap fabric since Jack was the one giving them. But maybe the good quality uniform is a way of showing his position or maybe just so his bakers were a little bit comfortable? Who knows really. With one last glance they turned to their door and finally head out to the factory. Their heart was racing but unlike yesterday this time it didn't bother them too much. All they had to do was do a good job, it was clear from yesterday that Jack was pleased when you didn't waste his time and let him do most the talking. They sighed and finally reached the gates and to their surprise the guards let them in even in such an early time. They walked into the factory and clocked in, a part of them was curious if Jack was in the trophy room. But there was no way they should go check, they didnt have that much privilege to do so anyways. They looked around the factory to get used to their new surroundings, it was no surprise how everything was well sorted, from a pantry full of dry ingredients and another full of wet ingredients, a large fridge probably for cooling down the pie crust before putting any filling in them. They then looked at the open work tables and seeing a piece of paper they decides walk over to investigate. It was the Jack Horner pie recipe, guess he couldn't be bothered to hand it over himself. They only sighed and shrugged before finally starting their work. It wasn't hard to follow the recipe as it wasn't their first time making pies, hell it wasn't even their 10th, they were so focused on their work they didn't notice the eyes watching them work. Jack had stood there for a while observing them, and he didn't want to admit it but their work so far was actually pretty good, it showed that they did have experience with this sort of stuff. It wasn't long til he realized they haven't noticed him standing in front of them, which he didn't like one bit so they let out a cough to make their presence unnoticed. This however startled Flakes a bit causing them to jump, luckily they didn't drop their finished pie.

"O-oh Mr. Horner sir! I didn't notice you there!" They smiled nervously.

"I noticed..." He glared at them before looking down at the pie checking the crust, before putting his thumb out to stick into the pie and pull out a plum to taste.

Flakes couldnt help but watch in anticipation, their eyes gazing onto their large hands and thick fingers, his large figure to match his large ego, and as they watched him eat the plum out his thumb they couldn't help but go red. They were no longer watching in anticipation but now watching in what felt like desire.

"Chitter chitter!" They covered their mouth shutting themself up and holding in a mating call.

Luckily Jack didnt seem to notice.

"Hm... i must say it is in fact delicious. But don't be too flattered of yourself. It's still my family recipe... but you did a good job following it to a tea. Just keep it up and yada yada yada!" He scoffed unbothered to continue the sentence before walking off to his trophy room.

Flakes stood there with there with their face still red. They let out a sigh in relief before putting the ruined pie away.

"Can't believe i wanted to let out a mating call!" They facepalmed in humiliation before going back to work.

They couldnt afford to have any interests with anyone right now, it was important they focus on their career and safety first. But hopefully that was a one time thing and nothing more will happen between them. They're just a baker now working for their boss and nothing more... right?
