HI!
Chapter 2: Introducing Ingrid.
*What Raven is saying is translated on the bottom of the last page.
Adelaide made her way to the front lodge, dragging her depressed parents behind her. "GAH! You're heavy as heck!" she grumbled, making her way up the front steps.
"I'm not fat!" Mrs. Sniper cried. "I'm not fat… am I?" turning to look at her husband, tears raining down her face. "No you're not fat!" Mr. Sniper replied, losing hold of Adelaide's grasp and holding his wife she the shoulders. "WAHH!" Mrs. Sniper then proceeded to hug him and then they both cried.
Adelaide rolled her eyes and left her parents crying on the steps, walking up the big empty staircase, into the big old house.
The door creaked open by itself and Adelaide cautiously stepped inside. She could hear whisper and the door slammed shut behind her. Adelaide got into a karate pose, unsure of what was happening.
She could feel something was near, but when she looked around, she was the only entity her eyes could see. "Colloportus!" she heard someone whisper and lock turned. "Hello?!" Adelaide called out, stepping towards the door.
"Immobulis!" the whispers said, making Adelaide frozen in place. Literally, for she could not move, even if she tried. "Help me!" Adelaide cried, helpless and annoyed "Petrificus Totalus!" the whisper came, and down Adelaide went, crashing to the floor, face-first in a full body bind.
"So, how are you getting-" Mother Barbra cut herself short as she walked in the room and saw the state Adelaide was in. "Oh my!" she exclaimed, gasping.
"Indigo Ingrid Lee! Get out of your hiding spot and undo your spell, this instant!" Mother Barbra said, angrily. "FINNNNNEEE." Indigo groaned, descending from the ceiling.
Wait. What. Adelaide thought. Did she say... spell?
Indigo uttered some words under her breathe and pointed her wand at the body-bind, pink haired Adelaide, on the floor and she immediately could move again.
Mother Barbra held out her hand and Adelaide graciously took it, pulling herself back to her peach flip-flopped, feet. "What the heck?" Adelaide said, her brain trying to understand what just happened.
"Ingrid Lee, Wizard Ninja of Mars, at your service!" Ingrid said, doing a little bow. This girl was somewhat of average height, with long blue hair tied up with a bow and a dark navy shirt, that matched her dark navy blue leggings. The odd thing about her was the head plate around her neck; it had blue cloth and a circle, with two wavy lines inside, indented on the metal. . "I'm sorry, did you say Wizard Ninja? Like as in a wizard," Adelaide said waving her finger around like a wand "and ninja, as in a black Japanese person?"
"Yes, I do magic, you muggle!" Ingrid said, anger drenching her tone.
"Personal space..." Adelaide mumbled as she stepped away from Ingrid, leaning in her personal bubble.
"Ingrid, please respect others beliefs. How would you like it, if someone told you there wasn't any PigFarts?" Mother Barbra said, nodding her head. The conversation was then interrupted by a pounding at the door.
"Alohomora!" Ingrid chanted, pointing her wand at the doorknob. No sooner was the spell cast, than Raven came bursting through the door.
"*!edialedA, era uoy erehT" A tongue-tied, Raven said, hunching over, out of breathe. "**!nwod meht peek t'ndluoc I!yzarc gniog era stnerap ruoY" .
Adelaide's eyes widened, understanding every last word uttered from his mouth. She quickly ran past Raven and slid down the staircase railing with great urgency Mr. and Mrs. Sniper were dancing around in a drunken frenzy, chanting weird words around a tied up monkey. "UHH WAHH TAHH TAHH!" they chanted, throwing streamers everywhere.
Adelaide rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things and that vodka accidently hadn't gotten it's way into her morning orange juice. Nope, there really was a monkey in a little fez and purple jacket, sitting tied up in chair.
Adelaide then slowly sat down, trying to convince herself this wasn't happening. Alright! She thought. You can do this!
Adelaide stood up, and grabbed the microphone out of her luggage. There was a big ear-blasting, screech as it turned on, making all the nearby campers cover their ears and cry out in pain.
"Sorry!" she called out, trying to smile at the annoyed by-standers. Sheesh! Adelaide thought. You try to stop an ancient ritual used by Mesopotamians, and what do you get...? She looked down at her parents, dressed in feathers and mud, dancing around like maniacs. ...The worst first impression ever. She thought.
"ANAWA HUT HUT HEY GRAH HA!" she said into the speakerphone. Immediately, her parents stopped and looked at her like a deer in the headlights. "NAW NAW SAT JA RA!" Mr and Mrs. Sniper called out, passing the vodka between them.
Adelaide narrowed her eyes and spoke into the microphone again. "GIGI MUY YA TUT." she said, crossing her arms. Mr and Mrs. Sniper exchanged looks and pouted like a sad puppy. They then proceeded to rid themselves of feathers and mud, throw away the streamers and untie the monkey.
The monkey jumped up and sprang towards Mr. and Mrs. Crowley, who had just arrived at the scene. "Oh dear!" Mrs. Crowley said, waving her arms franticly. "Get it off! Get it off!" the monkey was on her head, messing up a shiny bun that was probably done by a team of expensive hair-stylists.
The monkey then proceeded to lick her thumbs, and steal her opposable - thumb, sticking it on his. Mrs. Crowley screamed and ran around in her highheels, faster then you think was possible.
The monkey then jumped off and stick out his tongue at her. This whole time, Adelaide was observing the chaos from between her parents and the vodka she threw out. One thing was for certain;
This camp wasn't normal.
