Hard to Attain – Chapter two
Well I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. In this one you will find out what Kayli is. Some of you have been guessing but no one has guessed the right one. They were all good guesses though. Enjoy!
…
Kayli's POV
I ran back to the kitchen where I could hear Marla faintly calling me. As I neared the doors I slowed to a walk and tried to catch my breath. As soon as I opened the door Marla spotted me and came running over.
"Kayli! There you are! Where have you been? We have been looking everywhere for you! It is almost time for the students to have lunch and you have done nothing to help! Get over there and help!" She scolded me.
I bowed my head. "Yes Marla."
I sighed then headed of to work. When I had a minute I sneaked a look at my watch that I wasn't supposed to have.
Great. It is lunchtime. I quickly finished all I needed to do and escaped the kitchen. I ran down to an empty classroom and slipped inside. I walked over to the bookcase there and pulled out a book. Carefully cradling it I ran back to the kitchen. I stopped right outside the door and paused, thinking. If I went in now they would see me and ask me what I was doing with a book. I couldn't have that. Instead I went around to a side entrance and got to my room unnoticed. I flopped down on my small bed and looked around. My room is tiny. Well I suppose it has to be tiny for me. I am only tiny.
Ugh. I hate being a house elf. All I ever do is help cook and all. It is soo boring. I hate cooking! And I hate being treated like a slave.
I am one of the youngest house elves so therefore all the older ones get to order me around. It's not fair! Then again nothing is. I didn't exactly choose to be a house elf. It is not my fault I am in this position. Oh well…
I flipped open the book and started reading. It was fascinating. All about all the different spells and such. I love it!
Too bad I can't try anything out. I don't have a wand and besides, they wont let me.
I heard a knock on my door and quickly sat up. I suppressed a scream and hid the book under my pillow. I tiptoed up to the door and opened it to see… " Lina!" I shrieked throwing my arms around my friend.
She laughed and hugged me back. "What are you doing here?" I asked curiously.
"Just coming to visit you. Saw you got a book… care to explain?"
"Darn! Did anyone else see me?" I asked anxiously.
She shook her head. "I don't think so…"
I let out a breath. "Phew!"
"Which brings me back to my original question… why do you have a book?"
"Isn't it obvious? I wanna learn!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah but why? You are a house elf. You don't need to learn anything." She told me.
"Ugh. Don't remind me…"
Just then the door slowly swung open and my heart stopped.
"Dumbledore?" I gasped unaware the book was lying open on my bed.
"I need to talk to you girls," he said looking very serious.
I gulped and looked over at Lina. What did we do wrong?
…..
So… I know, I know. Not exactly what you were expecting right? Oh well. A little surprise is good! Oh and the next chapter you will find out how she is not exactly human…
Well I don't know much about house elves but still I hope you enjoyed! Please feel free to leave a review!
See you next chapter!
