Ding Ding.
DING! A morning bell blasted through a small country house in the Kingdom of Avalon.
UH! It is morning already, thought a sleepy brown haired girl, who happened to live in this country house, I wonder if I could get away with just sleeping for a little bit longer. With that thought the girl shut her eyes and prepared to enter the joyous world of slumber once again.
"KENDAL!" a voice called from down stairs rather loudly. Noooooooo, now I must officially wake up from the world of sleep, the brown hair girl other wise known as Kendal begrudgingly thought. Or maybe just a few more minutes of shut eye won't hurt anyone. Just one more minute, Kendal thought to herself, as her eyelids slowly closed.
Unfortunately for the poor unsuspecting Kendal, one of her sisters had other plans and soon enough a great blast of light filled Kendal's once dark room.
"CLOSE THE CURTAINS NOW! I SWEAR AIDE IF YOU DON'T I'LL..."
Instead of Kendal being able to finish her sentence, a cheerful voice full of laughter interrupted Kendal and said, "Kendal I'd think after 18 years of living with me you'd know me better. We can't have any sleepy heads in this family. Now can we?"
"Aide, my dearest sister," Kendal replied sarcastically while trying to hide her face under her blanket that would hopefully block the sun that was streaming though the window in her room, "I would think after living with me for nearly all of your life you would realize that I am NOT a MORNING person."
"I guess I could learn that, but then what else would I do every morning besides waking you up?" and with that Aide quickly grabbed the blanket off of Kendal's face, exposing Kendal to the bright sunshine.
"It burns! You are absolutely dreadful," Kendal said looking up at the charming face of her older sister Adriana Ingle or Aide for short. Adriana was a petite girl with beautiful straight black hair that fell past her shoulders, a fair complex, twinkling sapphire blue eyes that were always filled with laughter, and Adriana was now 20 years old and not married much to the disappointment of both Kendal and Adriana's mother. Luckily their mother had one more daughter, Eliza. Eliza had always been the pride and joy of the Ingle house for she was the most beautiful and youngest out of all three of the Ingle sisters.
Eliza had golden hair that looked like it had been kissed by the sun, the perfect doe like icy blue eyes, a wonderfully rosy complexion, the perfect figure imaginable, and the Ingle girls' father had always joked that Eliza should have been born a princess. There was no denying it; Eliza at the young age of 17 had the perfect looks for being a princess too bad she was born a commoner. Eliza may be beautiful on the outside, but beauty is not always skin deep. This is especially true for Eliza. Not only was Eliza not the brightest girl in the world, but she was quite a cruel girl. Not only is Eliza cruel, but beautiful; the perfect deadly combination. This cruelness had always caused a rift between Kendal, the middle sister, Adriana, the oldest sister, and Eliza, the youngest sister, for Kendal and Adriana greatly disagreed with Eliza's behavior and actions. Their father always said that one day Eliza would change, but he would never see that day for he died four years ago, and Eliza is still as vindictive as ever.
Kendal turned her thoughts back to her sister just in time to hear her say, "You know I enjoy every moment I get in torturing you precious sister," and with that Adriana pinch her little sisters cheek.
"You know I'm not a little baby that you can pinch any time you like, Aide."
"Well then start acting your age missy and get out of bed on time or face the consequences," Aide replied with an evil smile. "Besides Kendal it's a lovely day." As much as Kendal hated to admit it, Aide was right. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and it was a perfect picturesque country day.
"I suppose it's a nice day."
"I suppose it's a nice day," Adriana replied mimicking Kendal's exact response as she started to walk out of Kendal's room. Before Adriana could make it safely out of Kendal's room, a giant pillow hit Aide square in the back.
"Honestly Kendal you are so childish. You are so lucky you have a mature adult like me to look up to."
"Oh brother," Kendal responded.
"I know it's hard, but you cannot deny the truth. I am your role model," and with this said Adriana gave Kendal a wink and walked out of Kendal's bedroom.
"Some people," Kendal said out loud to the air. I suppose I ought to get dressed now and go down stairs to see what the schedule of the day, Kendal thought. Kendal promptly walked over to her mirror to brush her brown curly hair. Like her mother, Kendal was somewhat plain. Kendal had light skin, dark green eyes like the forest, and brown hair. The main difference between Kendal and her mother other than a few facial features was the fact that Kendal had curly hair that fell a little past her shoulders. Kendal's mother had straight hair just like Adriana, while Eliza had a slight wave in her golden blonde hair. Kendal had inherited her curly locks from her father as well as the darker tint of brown found in her hair. Kendal had never been extravagantly beautiful, the most graceful human being, nor the most flirtatious, but her silent intelligence made up for what she was lacking. Oh well I'm happy with myself, Kendal thought as she finished brushing her hair.
Kendal put on her day clothes and then went down the stairs to see what was going on in the Ingle House this morning. Kendal soon walked through a small hall leading to the dining room. The small and cozy dining room was, for the most part, a dark chestnut color with one giant rectangular wood table in the middle of the room. At the end far end of the table, near the kitchen door, Adriana was sitting with a red headed man.
"Nice to see that you are up sunshine," Adriana said sweetly with a smile.
"Great now there are two of you," Kendal said referring to the red headed man otherwise known as Andy.
"Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," Andy noted.
"What an astute observation! Would you like to make another?"
"Meow! Jeez, Aide you must have really shaken her up this morning."
"Nope just the usual."
"Yeah lucky me," Kendal replied as she took a seat across from Andy. "Something's missing..."
"If you are referring to people, Mother and Eliza went out to some picnic or some social function of that nature," Adriana responded.
"Oh and we weren't invited?"
"We were, but I made an executive decision for the both of us. I felt like I shouldn't waste my time at a petty event like that and you needed your beauty sleep so I told Ma that we ought to stay home."
"Thank goodness. I hate those frilly events," Kendal commented.
"I know you do that is why I said we are staying home," Aide said a bit irritated with the conversation.
"Anyway, this is the part of the story where I came in," Andy said, "I came here to see what your lovely sister was up to," after saying that Andy's hazel eyes stared right into Adriana's sapphire ones. It was really quite sickening, in Kendal's opinion, only if one of them would confess their feelings of love to the other so that they could live happily ever after and stop starring at each other with goo-goo eyes. Honestly, it's not like they are not obvious or anything. Some people...
"Ok Love Birds that's enough," Kendal said which caused both Adriana and Andy to blush.
"Anyway, Andy and I are going to take a walk in the forest would you like to come play with us?" Adriana asked Kendal.
"Yeah, Kenny the sun will do you a lot of good," Andy added. For this Andy received a playful glare from Kendal.
"It doesn't look like the sun has done you any good," Kendal observed referring to the giant red sun burn on Andy's pale arm.
"Well Andy's just special; he burns like a daffodil," Adriana promptly responded.
"I resent that Aide," Andy replied.
"Aw... Aide you hurt the poor darling's feelings. How could you be so heartless?" Kendal remarked in a teasing tone.
"I try," was the only response Aide could give.
"I'm sick of these constant vicious comments. You girls are just terrible! TERRIBLE!"
"What is your point Andy? What are you going to do give us the silent treatment?" Aide asked mockingly.
"Well as a matter of fact yes. No more talking to you evil sprits."
"Oh what a shame, Andy's actually being silent. Whatever shall we do?" cried Kendal with her voice oozing with sarcasm.
"I don't know. Who will tell us when our outings are on the verge of craziness?" Adriana asked gleefully.
"NO ONE!" Kendal and Adriana screamed delightfully at the same time.
"Enough is enough! I cannot let you two loose on the world without supervision. It's just not feasible. I must break my unearthly vow of silence for the good of the people!"
"Oh joy. Lucky us," Adrianna replied with no enthusiasm and she added "Come on Kendal get your behind out of the house. Andy might get off his leash and then all craziness will break loose." After this comment, both Adriana and Andy walked through the front door of the house into the bright warm sunshine.
"I'm coming children," Kendal called out to Andy and Adriana
"Hey! I resent the fact that you are calling us children," Andy yelled.
Silly kids, Kendal thought. I better get down there before they get into mischief without me. Kendal locked the door and ran through the giant empty green field, behind the Ingle country house, that came right before the forest. Those kids can walk fast, Kendal thought.
Kendal was sitting under a weeping willow tree lost in her thoughts when she heard Andy and Aide arriving back from their "talk". Earlier that afternoon Andy had told Adrianna that he had something important to say, so off they went into the green lush forest leaving Kendal to explore alone. Kendal was glad for the alone time; she loved the soothing sounds of nature. Kendal could see the smiles that were lighting up Andy's and Aide's face from a mile away.
"You two look unusually happy," Kendal called from her comfortable spot under the willow tree.
"We just got a few matters straightened out," Adriana replied smiling at Andy.
"Let me guess you both professed your undying love for one another." This statement from Kendal shocked both Adriana and Andy and soon their faces were turning a bright pink color. "Come on you two! It's not like it was a big secret. From the Goo-goo eyes to playing footsy under the table, your feelings for each other were actually quite obvious."
"Gee thanks Kendal for putting it so delicately," Adriana responded.
"It's ok Aide," Andy said taking Adriana's hand into his own, "I'm sure Kendal was the only who guessed. After all she is too observant for her own good."
"Me and the whole town."
"No! The whole town knows that we've had crushes on one another," Adriana said surprised.
"Apparently you two were the only people that didn't know. Love birds...," Kendal said shaking her head.
"I can't believe this," Adriana muttered.
"It doesn't matter. At least we are now together," Andy told Adriana softly. The two were staring intently into each others eyes.
"OK that's enough for right now! We should go back to the house to see if Mother and Eliza are there," Kendal said breaking the Love Birds' moment.
"Awww...I don't think Kenny can take watching too people in love," Andy said jokingly.
"Stop calling me Kenny! And no I don't want to watch you two do whatever Love Birds do."
"She's just jealous," said Adriana.
"Yes Adriana and I am going to marry a prince. Come on birdies lets go back..."
Once Kendal, Adriana, and Andy made it to the end of the forest they found a most unwelcoming sight in their giant field. Instead of being empty, the field was filled with tons of people. These people were richly dressed in many different spring colors and in the middle of this mess of people Kendal could see her younger sister Eliza surrounded by a few handsome young men.
"What in the world..."
