For those of u who liked my last pov with kelly. here's another short chapter of her. enjoy.
Kelly pov.
Just like everyday, I was sitting in the sunshine playing around with my toys all by myself. Sometimes I wondered why I even bothered to play at all It's not like I had anyone there to play with other than my parents, but as usual, they were busy gardening, besides I had to find someway to keep myself occupied, If I didn't I would probably go insane with boredom. I just sat there in my little playpen bouncing my ball against the wired fence that surrounded me. I bounced my ball to hard against the bottom of the playpen and It bounced high into the air way over the treetops.
"Wow that was my best throw ever" I smile as I look upward to my ball as it reaches it's highest peak and drops back down to the earth like a shooting bullet.
"That's right ball now come to mummy" I reach out my arms getting ready to catch it. The ball shoots right threw my arms and squishes on the playpen bottom. Then just like that it shoots right back into the air and falls right back to the ground.
"Ok, I got you this time ball" I focus more on the ball and when to reach for it. It gets closer to me and I get ready to grab it once more, but It never returns to me. As it falls back down, it bounces on the top of the playpen and bounces out into the garden.
"Oh no!" I whisper shout. I watch the ball bounce farther from me in the direction of the house. It bounces right into the tree and rolls down a branch right onto the roof of the house, Then it rolls down the roof back onto the tree, where a tree branch flings it towards the house and right into and open window.
"Oh that's just perfect"I rools my eyes and huff. That ball was the only toy I brought with me when daddy set me in here, now I had nothing at all to play with. I needed to get my ball back but I couldn't get back into the house without mum or dad to open the door. I needed one of them to get my ball for me.
"MUMMY, DADDY, I NEED YOU" I shout in their direction but they don't turn around.
"MUMMY, DADDY!" I shout louder. and still nothing. They were too far to hear me and they said It was gonna be a while before they finished the garden, but I couldn't just wait I wanted my ball back now. I guess I just had to take matters into my own hands.
I grabbed the wired frames that lined the walls of my playpen and began to climb over them. I reached over the top and unlocked the handle allowing the whole wall to come down making a large door for me to escape throught. I looked over to my parents to make sure they weren't looking and they still had their backs turned to me on the very far end of the garden. I skipped over to the house and stopped right by the door. I needed to find a way in, the knob was to high for me, and even if I could reach it the door was locked and my dad had the key. That's when my attention was drawn to small doggie door. I had forgotten that dad had shroom here all the time but sometimes shroom stayed with uncle benny back at my grandparents house, Luckily I was not much taller than shroom so I could easily fit right through. I managed to fit through althought it was a little to narrow for me so I had trouble squezzing my mid section throught but somehow I made it inside the house. I ran past the kitchen and dining room into the living room and up crawled the stairs, down the hall, to the door that held the room to where my ball was. But this was not like any regular door, For some reason this door accordidng to mum and dad, was off limits. This was the only door in the whole house I had never seen before, It was always locked and mum and dad would never let me see inside it, they said that what was inside only brought back bad memories of their earlier lives, and it must have been the truth. Whenever mum or dad walked past this door they always got sad, dad would always sigh and slouth, and mum would slowly begin to cry and mumble to herself, whenever they saw me looking at them they stopped and acted like it was nothing. For years the concepts of what was behind this door got the better of me, I always wondered what this door held but I knew I wasn't allowed inside of it, sometime I was scared to see cause it might be soethign bad, but since I had to go in there to retreive my ball I guess I was gonna get my answer.
I slowly jumped to the knob and twisted at it but the door wouldn't open.
"LOCKED!" I snap my fingers and grunt. "Now how'm I gonna get in there" I grunt. I pace the floor for a moment thinking till it hits me plain as day.
"Wait, I don't need to use the door, I can get in the other way." I think outloud. I run over to my room and open the window. Lucky for me my bed was on the same side as the other room. I slip out the window and balance myself on the thin litte rainpipe I was on. A t first I was a little scared I was only 6 and very clumsy with my feet sometimes, and there was a lot of distance between me and the ground from a 2 story house and If my balance failed me I was as good as dead. But to me that ball was worth it and besides fallling was the least of my troubles, I needed to get that ball and get back to my playpen before mum and dad see me way up here,If they catch me I would get a punishment that made death sound like the better option here. I adjust me feet and slowly take baby slides across the walls of my house sinking my tiny nails into the walls as I slide. A big gush of wind whoosed by making my foot slip and send me halfway falling.
"WHOA!" I shout I pull myself back and cling to the wall once more. My heart skips and I was for sure I wasn't gonna make it that time. I started to cry a little thinking I should just scream for mum and dad to get me down from here, but I made a promise not to go without my ball. I was a big girl and I needed to act like it.
"C'MON kelly, you can do this" I repeat to myself. I regain my confidence and continue to slid nice and easily towards the other window. Before I go inside I look back to the garden below. Mum and da were still having their attention eleswhere, but i knew they were almost done, so i needed to get my ball and fast.
Another few inches or so I finally reached the window. I turned myself around so i was facing the window from the outside, I slipped myself underneath the small opening that my ball bounced through and landed on the suprisingly carpeted floor beneath. I pulled myselft to my feet and got a look at my current surroundidng It was nevy dark and dusty, cobwebs hung from the ceiling and It was extremely hot and stuffy, But then again I would expect that, seeing as how It didn't look as If noone had come in this room for a long time. I just needed to focus on my findidng my ball.
"Now where did that ball get to?" I ask myself. I start feeling around for my ball but it was too dark to really see. When I wasn't paying attention I stubbed my toe on something hard and wooden.
"OUCH!" I flop on the floor and rub my sore toe. "I'm never gonna find my ball this way, where's the light switch". I hop to my feet and limp around the walls trying to find the light. Fir the moment all I felt was a bunch of wall till my fingers landed on a small rectangular smooth surface with a little numb popping off of it.
"AHA, there you are" I grin and flip the switch bringing the room into the light. Another big shocker In the light the room looked completely diffrent.
In the light it looked like a total regular room. It had nice bright blue carpeting and matching curtains, There was a tall cabinet filled with books and nice even purple coated walls. But what really got my attention was that this room had paintings on the wall of a lot of baby things; bottles, cribs, toys, flowers, a lot of this babies would find ammusing. There was also a rather large rocking chair in the center of it and in the far corner there was a small little baby carrier. In the opposite corner there was a large crib and mobile that was covered in mold and dust. At first I figured that this use to be my room as a baby, but then I remembered that my current room was also my old baby room, I still even had the old frames of my crib stored in my room closet to prove it. I wondered who did this room belong to, Maybe mum and dad had another kid before me, but then again if they did then I wouldn't be an only child like mum told me I was. I slowly crept around still looking and wondering who this room belongs or use to belong to, but while my mind was eleswhere I stepped on somthing smooth and rubbery I slipped and fell facedown on the carpet getting a bit of rugburn on my nose. I flipped to my back and heard a squeak as I rested my foot down, I pick myself up and just at the base of my feet sat my ball.
"Oh finally I found you" I jump in joy. I bend down to pick it up and squeeze it close to my face, my ball had gotten dust on it and it made my nose itch till I had to let out a big sneeze.
"A-A-ACHOO!" the ball flew right from my hands and bounced behind a stack of boxes. I rubbed my nose and ran towards my ball. I had to use all my strenght to push the 3 large boxes away from me and get enough space to reach my ball. I extended my hand to my ball while accidentally causing all 3 boxes to topple over and spill their contents over the floor.
"OOPS" I set my ball aside and run over towards the boxes. I set them all rightside up and begin to fill them back up with their original contents. I gotta say the things that were in these boxes got me even more curious. While the 1st box was just filled with my old baby toys, the 2nd box was filled with a lot of baby clothes and even more specifically these clothes were for boys, I knew thhese couldn't be mine beacause unless I'm mistaking I was not a boy, there was also a big purple baby blanket that was very similar to the very same blanket that my grandma had made for me, the only difference was this blanket had the name jake stitched in yellow thread, whereas mine had my name, kelly, stiched on it. I just put it back with th clothes in the box and put it aside. The 3rd and final box was the most curious of all, This box even thought the smallest of the 3 contained a vast amount of old pictures, some of the were of my parents when they were first married and others were of me as an infant. But then I came upon these pictures that were not of me or my parents, these pictures were of a small baby boy gnome, he had brown hair and green eyes like my mummy, but he looked kinda like my daddy. I never saw this gnome boy before but I'm pretty sure he didn't live in my grandparents garden, I definetly would've noticed another purple gnome amongst a house of red and blue gnomes. I keep flipping throught the pictures and each one of them had a photo of my parents and/or grandparents holding and cuddling this other purple known. I really wanted to know who this purple gnome was, I would ask mum and dad next time I saw them. That's when it hit me.
"Uh oh, mum and dad!" I forgot I had to get back outside before they saw I was gone or I was in huge trouble. I stuffed all the photos back and stacked the boxes back just as they were. I grabbed my ball and dashed to the window. I pulled the window up more so I didn't have to bend down so much to get back out. I tossed my ball out first and watched it land just outside my playpen, I peered to see where my parents were and just as before they were looking eleswhere tendidng to the garden.
I wasted no time. I hopped out onto the ledge and scooted all the way to the edge of the roof. I kneeled down on the drainpipe and grabbed hold of it. I clung real tight and slid all the way down the pipe to the grassy ground. I hooped of the pipe and ran full burst back to my playpen I grabbed my ball and sat down inside it just as I heard my parents voices. They were on their to me right now.
"OH NO!" I pulled the wall of my playpen back up as I snapped locked with all the other walls making my playen a whole square again. I put my ball to my head and covered the lower part of my body with my purple blankie. I heard my dad and mum talking as they made their way closer to me I acted fast and pretended to be sound asllep just as they reached me.
"Oh look at that gnomeo, isn't that cute" I heard my mum say above my head.
"She's so adorable when she sleeps" I hear daddy say. I decide to freak them out a little. Just like that I pop from my sleeping stance and jumped up and shouted.
"BOO!" I see my parents jump back in shock and I start laughing and rolling around on my playpen floor cracking up.
My parent's walk back over to my playpen and see me cracking up. "Oh we've got a little trickster in here I see" daddy says grinning.
"I wonder who she got that from" Mum glares to dad who looks away and stares back to me.
"I got you guys, didn't I" I giggle standing up.
Daddy picks me up in his arms and cuddles me. "I know you got mummy, but not me though" Daddy says confidently. I look to mummy who shakes her head playfully.
"I did get you daddy, Admit I did" I demand in my baby voice. daddy sighs and smiles.
"Alright you got me a little" Daddy says.
I clap my hands and smile to him. "I knew i did" I give him a big kiss and he hands me over to mummy.
"Sweetie now that we're done with our chores, you wanna go into town and get some ice cream" she says nuzzling my cheecks in her nose.
"YES, ICE CREAM, ICE CREAM, I WANT ICE CREAM NOW!" I cheer.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Daddy says. We walk outta the house and into the city, on the way to the ice cream shop I kept wondering about that baby boy I saw in all those pictures of mum and dad. I thought about asking them, but I just might get them upset with me again, like when I asked them for a new brother or sister to play with. I just decided to wait a bit longer to ask them, but for now I just thought about getting me some ice cream.
