Adelle

Chapter 12: "Getting Caught"
Adelle sat on her bed with the doll in her hands. She felt like the doll was hers for some reason but knew that she had to give it back to Jolie. Jolie, the girl who had been kidnapped and not yet found.
'Poor Mrs. Benson...' Adelle thought as she looked at the doll.
Two weeks had passed since she had been in the attic. She remembered being up there and Sean screaming at her to get down because Carly had come early. Instead of going out the back door, Sean had gone out through her window.
She laughed at the thought and looked at her window. The air was blowing her pink curtains in a manner that looked as if it were blowing to a tune of a song. She put the doll safely on her bed and walked over to the window to close it.
"Adelle! Adelle! Let down your hair!" she looked down and saw Sean. She smiled and he smirked putting his hands in his pockets.
"Sorry, my dear prince my hair isn't long enough!" she called out smiling.
"Well then...erm...use magical princess powers to make it longer!" he called out to her.
"Hmm...okay." Adelle then started to do a weird dance thing. "It's not working, dear prince!"
"Oh, fair maiden, alas, your prince will come to save you!" Sean punched a fist in the air and began to slowly climb a small ladder. This time he decided to come through the biggest window in her room. "Alas! I have come!" he announced standing up straight with his hands on his hips.
Adelle put both of her hands to her heart. "Ohh, my hero!" she flung herself on him.
"And now we shall leave this horrible tower. To my castle!" he said. He flung Adelle over his shoulder.
Her eyes widened. "Hey! Let me down! Let me down!!" she punched his back with her fists softly laughing.
"We flee!" he carried her, running around the room.
"Put me down, dear prince, I'm getting dizzy!" she said laughing.
"Ahh!" he said as he put her down. "We have at last arrived!"
The stood in front of her closet. "My closet?"
"Yes, fair maiden. Do ye have a name?" he asked grabbing her hand.
"My nameth is Adelleth." she said looking away and batting her eyelashes.
"Ah, ye has a beautiful name." he kissed her hand. He turned around to find something to use as a septer. She stood there and got an idea. Her eye brows raised in a devilish sort of way and she jumped on his back.
"HEY!"
"Ha, ha! I got you now!" she said laughing. She drummed on his head with her hands.
"Hey! I'm not drum you know!"
"Yeah, I know!" she continued.
"Come on, Adelle!" he whined. "My head hurts!"
"Bum, bum, bum" she hummed to the tune of 'Row, Row, Row You're Boat.'
"This is no time for children's songs!" he said. He then walked over to her bed and safely dropped her on it.
"And I was just beginning my fun." she pouted. "Tsk, tsk." She proped her elbows on her bed and looked up at him. He took the time to slowly study her. He smiled at her. She had on a light blue tank top with matching bottoms that had clouds on them.
"Clouds?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yep, it reminds me how my head is always in the clouds." she said, he sat next to her.
"I see and why is that?" he asked.
"You." she smirked and elbowed him.
"Ouch!" he said.
"That's just how I show affection." she said winking.
He smirked. He turned his head to face her. He put his hands on her shoulders. "Do you want to know how I show affection?"
"Enlighten me." she said looking up at him.
"I'd be glad to." he lowered his lips slowly to hers and captured them in an embrace.
Just when they had been starting to kiss they heard the door downstairs be opened. She broke the kiss.
"She's home!" she said jumping from the bed.
"What? I thought you said that she'd be home at--"
"You have to go Sean!" Adelle grabbed him by the arm and almost pushed him out her window.
"Hey!"
"She'll find you! We'll get caught and--"
There was a clap. And another. The two lovesick teens turned around slowly.
"Very nice." said Carly clapping. "I knew something had been going on."
"Aunt Carly, you're home..early." stuttered Adelle.
"I thought I said you couldn't go out with him." Carly placed her hands on her hips.
"You never gave me a reason not to." Adelle glared at Carly.
"I think I better--" Sean started trying to desperatly get out.
"No! Stay, Sean!" screamed Carly.
"Oh..kay." he bent his head down.
"Why did you disobey me? It is so unlike you." asked Carly sitting down on Adelle's bed. "Is it the boy?"
"What?"
"Is he that bad of an influence already?" asked Carly.
"No, it's not him." said Adelle looking away. "It's me." tears began to form in her eyes.
"What?" asked Carly.
"All my life you've kept me hidden from the world. You and my father! I wanted to know what it felt like to do something that I'm not supposed to do. I'm not a little princess Carly!" she screamed.
"You will show me some respect young lady! Calling me by my first name like--"
"You forget Carly, you're not my aunt or my mother you are my cousin." said Adelle putting her hands on her hips.
"We've never had a fight before." said Carly."I thought I raised you to be--"
"I was raised well. And I have alot to thank you for but--"
Carly was staring at the doll on Adelle's bed with fear. It looked as if memories came flooding back to her.
"Where...where'd you get that?" she asked with wide eyes.
"What?" Adelle wiped the tears from her eyes.
"That." Carly pointed to the doll that lay happily on Adelle's bed.
Adelle's eyes widened. 'The doll!' she thought. "I got it from the attic."
"I thought I forbade you from going up there." said Carly.
"I wanted to investigate--"
"In another burst of rebellion? No, this will not happen again!" Carly rushed over to bed and snatched the doll.
"HEY! THAT'S NOT YOURS THAT'S JOLIE'S!" screamed Adelle.
Carly had begun to leave and slowly turned around. "How? How do you know about her?"
"Read the inscription under the dress." said Adelle.
Carly turned the doll over and read the inscription. She blinked once, she blinked twice and finally she began to walk away.
"I'm going to burn everything." said Carly rushing over to the attic. "Nothing will be left. And then Adelle and I will move from this house and be happy again." she muttered grabbing all the things from the attic and putting them outside.
"Happy again?" asked Adelle looking at Carly. "By burning Jolie's things and leaving we're going to be happy again?"
"Get out of this Adelle. It's none of your concern.." said Carly putting all the stuff that she had gathered in a small pile. She went up to get more with Adelle behind her.
"This is Jolie's." said Adelle snatching the music box from Carly.
"Give that back!"
"Tell my why you have Jolie's things!" demanded Adelle.
"It's none of your concern!" screamed Carly snatching it back and throwing it in the pile. "There." she breathed. "That's the last of her things."
Carly took out a lighter.
"No!" Adelle jumped on Carly snatching the lighter away. "I won't let you burn her things."
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" asked Carly. Carly walked over to Adelle and smacked her. "I am your mother and you will do what I say!"
Adelle's eyes widened. "You are not my mother!" she screamed. "My mother is alive and so is my father and I'm going to find them."
"What? Your parents are dead and if it wasn't for me--"
"That's where you're wrong. My parents are very much alive and you've kept them hidden from me." Adelle cried. "I want to know where they are!"
"You've created a fake world for yourself you insolent brat!" Carly raised her hand to smack her again but Sean grabbed Carly's hand.
"You won't smack her again, Ms. Shay." said Sean.
"Wha--what? What are you doing to me, unhand me!" screamed Carly.
"I can't do that."
"You still haven't answered my question! Why do you have her things?" asked Adelle crying.
Carly looked from Adelle to Sean and loosened Sean's grip on her wrist and ran.
"Aunt Carly!" called Adelle.
Carly ran over to her car and got in. She didn't even bother with the seat belt and drove away.
Sean hugged Adelle. "It's okay." he said softly into her hair. "It's over."
"But she still didn't answer my question. Why did this happen to me?" said Adelle.
"Okay then. Answer my question, do you ever think things through?" he asked looking into her eyes. She blushed.
"Erm..no not really." she responded.
"Then that's why it happened. I hate to say this but-- I told you so." he smirked.
"I hate that saying!" Adelle punched his arm.
"Must you restort to physically hurting me?!" he asked.
"Yes. Now help me put all this stuff back in the attic. Who knew that Jolie had so much stuff?" she asked. She picked up a thick piece of paper. It read 'Jolie' in a woman's handwriting. It wasn't Carly's handwriting. She furrowed her eyebrows and turned the picture over. She gasped.
"What's wrong?" he asked picking up the doll.
She turned around. "This...this is a picture of me."
