!Important! Rylie is my OC, (I spelt her name wrong to make her more unique) if you want a description, read the first paragraph. THIS WAS WHEN SHE WAS SIX! I will describe her as a sixteen year old later. This is a slightly boring chapter BUT it tells some important stuff for the next chapter which I will be posting around one week. To tell you more, this is how I would react so the more you know Rylie, the more you'll know me! This goes a little fast so forgive me…
Elsa and Anna belong to Disney's Frozen.
Jack Frost belongs to DreamWorks' Rise of the guardians
Rylie: Rylie's face was round and slightly chubby (in a cute kindergartener way) and she's slightly tanned unlike her two siblings. Her hair that reached down to her waistline was almost obsidian which matched her wide eyes completely. Rylie's mouth was defaulted to a smile yet almost never showing her teeth. She was underestimated because of her size but later on proving to have strength and endurance.
I moaned because of the commotion that was happening on the floor below me as I gained consciousness. I opened one eye, blinded by the expensive lantern that hung high on the ceiling which, somehow, made me wonder how long I'd been asleep for. Shut my eyes and blinked again, this time aware of my surroundings. I glanced around, rubbing one eye as my spacious bedroom unfolded. Every wall was decorated with detailed paintings that were bordered with carefully painted carved timber that contrasted well with the edges of the ceiling. The miniature chandelier that hung on the beautiful ceiling was decorated with rubies, sapphires and emeralds as well as coated with gold and silver. The balcony doors were slowly opening and closing gently, synchronized with the calm breeze, creating a peaceful setting… that was until a very familiar voice broke the silence.
"Rylie! Get down here this instance!" the feminine voice exclaimed.
I shot out of my bed and slipped on a plain peasant-like dress and slid swiftly down the spiral stair case, adjusting my hair as I did so. I slowed as the end of the railing drew near before jumping off with a smile. My 'mother' stared with gritted teeth while the other lady looked at me with a slight smile
I flattened my dress and moved a strand of dark brown hair from my face, "I'm here!".
My 'mother' changed facial expression to a happy one, "Um dearie, what are you wearing," she pointed at my clothed with a slight tone of disgust.
"I didn't want to get my fancy clothes dirty so I grabbed my old rags."
"Hm, I see, enough about that. This is your future husband's mother, Alice," she spoke as she walked beside the beautiful woman.
"W-wait, marriage? I thought you only adopted me to help around and additionally to that, I am only six years of age."
"And you will not be married to my son until you are the age of sixteen, don't worry," the other woman soothed.
I looked up at her. She was beautiful. Her hair was the colour of a raven's wing and cascaded like a waterfall down her back, reaching almost to her waist, but her eyes stole the show. They were mysterious, filled with different shades of crimson and beauty almost to the point that you could be mesmerized for hours.
"But I don't even know who this boy is."
Alice spoke up again, "and you will, we have assigned for you and him to meet at the gazebo in two days' time, six in the morning sharp, after that, you will meet every week until you are sixteen."
"Every week?"
They both nodded.
'Mother' clears her throat, "It's ten years to get to know each other. You will get along, you have no choice. Now shoo shoo dearie, Alice and I must speak of further meetings in private."
I curtsied to excuse myself. It is ten years away anyway, besides, this boy is probably nice. I looked up at the great grandfather. one fifteen, ONE FIFTEEN! I'm late! I sprinted towards the door and ran out when I saw my brother on his wooden, moldy carriage. He had brown messy hair and chocolate brown eyes. Unlike my fairly tanned skin, he was quite pale skinned. His clothing consisted of a white V-neck undershirt with a brown vest and equally brown trousers. He also wore a brown poncho that almost covered him entirely.
"Jackson Overland Frost!" my voice squeaked, attempting to push him to leave, "You'll be seen here, what do you think you're doing?"
"Hey kiddo," he chuckled, ignoring my question, "What's with the formal names all of a sudden, has your new mother gotten through your head already?"
I crossed my arms, "she's not my mother."
"Then get on, I know you're late to visit the royals."
"How do you-."
Jack picked me up mid-sentence and placed me next to him. I squealed in shocked as we started to ride down the gravel.
OoOoOoOo
After a few minutes and a lot of 'Jack' jokes, we were entering the centre of the neighbouring forest. The drone of insects humming started the usual routine of awaking dawn. Slowly, the forest came alive with the layers of sounds echoing in the cold morning air. Little frogs croaked under large, broad leaves. The webs were stringed with delicate drops of morning dew, glistening in the first shards of sunlight. While the all the other humans were still asleep in the village, animals in every corner of the earth are waiting for a new dawn.
I looked around in awe. No matter how many times I've been through this road, no sunrise was ever alike. I hadn't noticed Jack had commanded the horse to stop until he spoke up.
"Rylie, this is as far as I go, I need to help mother."
I shook myself back to reality, "Hm, oh yeah! This is alright; I can see the castle from here anyway."
He smiled, and ruffled my hair, "Okay princess, just stay safe."
I patted my hair down, "I will."
I watched my brother ride away before turning around to begin my short stroll to the castle. The trees danced along with the wind happily while I skipped across to the bridge that leaded to my destination.
The sky was beginning to turn orange as I started to hum a song that my real mother once sang to me as I left her.
「Elsa's Lullaby」Frozen / by Ally Bringston (changed a bit by H4CK3D)
Listen to me, dear,
It's nothing there to fear
You are close to me
And that was meant to be
It won't hurt you here
You're power's coming clear
This fearsome storm inside
You only need to hide
It is all alright
Your power shows the light
But I am sure with this:
You will always be missed
You'll be fine again
The problems will all mend
It's time for you to see
Your heart is pure and free
I wiped a tear from my left cheek as I walked slowly, opening old memories that had been locked away. I looked down at the brick footpath. She told me that my father would come back; picking me up like he always did so we could be a whole family again.
But she was wrong.
Rylie, I will protect you
I'm right beside of you
You will be safe and sound
There won't be harm around
No need to have fear
It makes you special, dear
This power's a part of you
We will be going through
Remember that we will always love you my beautiful Sunflower…
I snapped out of trance, noticing that I have made it to the castle subconsciously. I knocked lightly on the door to be welcomed with the smell of cooked turkey and one of the servants, Gerda. She was slightly round, wearing a green dress and white gloves. Her small cap-like head piece covered the majority of her chocolate brown hair which complemented her ice-blue eyes.
She widened her eyes in surprise, "My goodness, why are you awake this early."
"Elsa, Anna and I normally play earlier than now but I had a long slumber today."
She smiled, "Come in then, you'll be cold out there."
I gave Gerda a hug, shocking her for a second before relaxing, "Thank you Gerda."
I ran up the spiral staircase before knocking at their door. Anna's head popped out of the slightly opened door before she gasped and ran back inside. I waited before Elsa and Anna came running out, grabbing my hand and dragging me back down to the ballroom.
"Do the magic, do the magic!" Anna squeaked
"Rylie you go first," Elsa spoke, turning to face me.
"I'm not sure," I hesitantly replied.
"Come on, Rylie," Elsa responded, "or we'll tickle you to death"
Elsa and Anna jumped onto me and tickled my stomach. I screamed in laughter, "Stop, please, okay I'll do it."
They hopped of giggling before I formed a fireball in my hands. Elsa stepped forward as she made a snow firework and threw it in the air, making the ball room to snow slowly. It was a bit cold for my taste but I couldn't have felt any warmer. Anna ran around in delight, spinning in circles until she fell on a pile of fresh and soft snow. We laughed happily. Hours past but not a single second wasted or regretted as we spun in a circle, holding hands and having one of the best days end before us. I walked away, waving goodbye and shut the door behind me. My life felt so complete even with my father missing and my mother gone. I just let the past go.
The walk back was short, the sun giving me company and warmth. I love the chirping of birds in the morning. The melodious chirping is enchanting. They seem to welcome the sun with their sweet notes. I looked down at the wild bushes which grew roses and many kinds of flowers. The every sight and smell of those beautiful flowers could brighten even the darkest of days. Small dew drops on petals and leaves look like precious pearls.. I forget the hustle and bustle of my daily life and escape from worries temporarily I feel a new strength is being injected into my otherwise tired body. I feel some new sense of joy as I relax while sitting in the silence around me throughout the time.
But when I entered the village, something didn't feel right. A group of villagers were grouped together, their heads hung low. I ran to the crowd. The faces looked at me with pity and sadness, not even a single sense of happiness, only sorrowful expressions beaming directly at me. They stepped back to let me go to the front. I froze when I saw him. His hair was white, his skin was pale. Tears formed in my eyes.
No…
I'm SORRY for going to quick on this but I want to know what you think. Don't be shy about it, I don't normally bite… I will be posting a new chapter around the 14th of August so watch out. Make sure you fave and follow. A cake for everyone!
