Disclaimer: I dont own RoTG nor the characters, but I do own Kelly. She is mine. Well, technically Mac171100's, but she/he sold her/his soul to me. Bwahaha! JK, we're the same person.
Background info- Kelly moved into the Bennett household after her aunt and uncle discovered her father's abusiveness. She's been there since June and it is now March...
~Kelly~
"Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly!" I heard someone exclaim. I grunted as something/someone landed on my stomach. I sat up and looked to see Jamie sprawled across my lap.
"Hi?" I said, rubbing my right eye.
"Snow day!" He said, panting from sprinting down the hallway. I grinned tiredly.
"Well, go get your stuff. I'll be out soon. How about you read by the lake for a bit, eh?" I suggested.
"Aye aye, captain!" He said, saluting. He jumped off his bed and ran out the door. I blew out a large gust of air and stood, rubbing my hip where my crazed cousin crash landed. I grabbed an outfit and tossed it into the bathroom. I headed towards the shower, eager for sledding. The hills in New Paltz sucked but in Burgess, they were awesome.
~Jack~
I flew to a stop, and with the wind behind me, I ended up skating across the pond. As the wind zipped across the pond it knocked a book out of the hands of a little boy walking alone. I think his name is Jamie.
"Whoa, whoa." Jamie yelped, flailing to catch his book. Jamie went to pick up the book and I got a glimpse of the cover - "THEY'RE OUT THERE! - MYSTERIES, MYTHICAL CREATURES AND THE UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA." I walked closer and peered at the book.
"Huh, that looks interesting. Good book?" I asked. He looked up and I caught my breath. Did he hear me? Then I realized he was noticing the twins, Caleb and Claude, barreling towards him. My smile slipped a bit.
"Alright! Yeah! Waahoo! Snooow daaaay!" They yelled, their sentences entwined.
"You're welcome!" I called after them pointlessly.
"Hey guys, wait up! Are you guys coming to the egg hunt Sunday?" Jamie asked, closing his book for the moment. Damn, I was hoping to read over his shoulder.
"Yeah, free candy!" Caleb cheered and my grin was back in an instant.
"I hope we can find the eggs with all this snow!" Claude said. His brother replied with a handful of snow. I laughed slightly, still upset that they couldn't hear me. It wasn't new to me, but still. I walked with them to Jamie's house and they slipped through the fence. I hopped on top and walked back and forth casually, my staff slung over my shoulders.
"Whoa, it says here that they found Big Foot hair samples and DNA, in Michigan. That's like, super close!" Jamie said, closing his book and setting it down.
"Here we go again." Claude muttered to his brother with an eye roll.
"You saw the video too Claude, he's out there!" Jamie insisted.
"That's what you said about aliens." Caleb said.
"And the Easter Bunny." Claude added.
"Whoa, the Easter Bunny is real!" Jamie said defensively.
"Oh he's real alright. Real annoying, real grumpy, and really full of himself." I said, laughing to myself.
"Come on, you guys believe anything." Claude said, laughing. A little blond girl I hadn't noticed giggled.
"EASTER BUNNY! HOP-HOP-HOP!" She chanted. She tripped and fell. I cringed as she began crying. "Ow!"
"Kelly! Sophie fell again!" Jamie yelled to the house. And that's when I stopped breathing. A girl my physical age came out of the house and my heart stuttered. She had short boyish hair that was brown with golden highlights. Her navy blue eyes gleamed with knowledge and mischievous mirth. Right now though, they were dark and full of concern.
"Shoot, Soph, you okay?" She asked. Her voice was deep for a girls but there was something unsettlingly melodic about it. I shook my head. Pull it together, Frost!
"Are we sledding or what?" Claude asked.
"In a minu- Ah, Maria!" Kelly said. She grinned as a hispanic woman of about 30 came in through the gate. "Thank Guards you're here."
Wait, what did she just say? I thought. Does she have a speech impediment or...
"Ah, I see Sophie took a tumble. I'll get her some ice and a treat." Maria said, taking the girl from Kelly. Kelly smiled and I lost my ability to breath yet again.
"Not too much sugar."She reminded, freckled nose crinkling slightly as if remembering something unpleasant. "Last time she got a sugar rush-"
"Not to worry, dear. Jamie, hat? We don't want Jack Frost nipping at your nose." Maria said, plunking a hat on his head.
"Who's Jack Frost?" Jamie asked, shifting the hat on his head. Kelly opened her mouth to say something but Maria cut her off.
"No one, dear. It's just an expression." Maria said. Kelly frowned at her words but I was busy glaring.
"Hey." I said, offended. Kelly looked around before she knelt in front of Jamie.
"I'll tell you the real sorry later." She said. I stared as she winked with a grin, showing off her white teeth. Jamie grinned and she stood, but I was still staring.
Did she know something about me?
"Yeah, our mom say that all the time." Claude said, shifting his own hat. Kelly rolled her navy eyes, the color lightening slightly as she smiled.
"He'll freeze your butt if you keep making fun of him." She warned humorously. I stood and walked a curious circle around her.
"Riiight." Claude said, already walking with his brother. Jamie went to follow and Kelly turned to get her sled, which I realized was right behind me. But instead of charging through me, she went around me. She ran a bit to catch up with the boys.
"Who is this girl..." I muttered. I grinned. "And how is she at snowball fights?"
