As Kat is reading her book, while monitoring the time. Dan feels the temperature rising slowly. Kat never dulled his senses so he could feel the heat. He could also see the read light of the coild below him shining a light inside the oven. Kat had tied him well so he couldnt move to escape. Only wait for his end.
Partway through the cooking, Kat heard the sound of the door opening and her parents talking to each other. She puts the book down and glances at the oven. Its still too early for that to be done. She can only hope her mom doesnt notice where Dan is.
Their dad appears first and smiles as seeing Kat. "Hello princess. Happy Birthday" he says as he kisses her forehead. "Its smells good in here. You making your own dinner to celebrate." Kat just smiles and nods. "Grandpa's receipe." Dad just laugh with a proud hum as he smells it.
Mom appears behind him and looks at the oven. "Looks like we came home early for your dinner preperation. Hope we arent interrupting, sweetie." Kat shakes her head. "No mom. Im just waiting for it to finish. I want to do it right." Mom smiles and looks around. "Did you brother help you? Where is he?"
In Kat mind, she replied 'the oven'. Aloud she replied, "I dont know. I haven't seen him today." Mom nods. "Well if you see him, tell him about dinner." Mom does looks the the oven curiously. But whether she had suspicions or not, Kat couldnt tell.
Dan could hear his parents voices, and hope arose in him. Will they figure out Kat spell? Will they find him? He tries calling out to them, but they cant hear him. Dan could only hope their mom looks for him in time.
