Puck's POV
At exactly 6:30, the family came into the kitchen for dinner. Ellie and Amber had taken off their coats. Ellie was wearing a black sweatshirt that said in large pink letters, "Dance, established 1997" and Amber was wearing a brown hoodie that said 'Hershey'.
The old lady had prepared some kind of purple soup, and I was hoping this family wouldn't be too offended by her cooking. When Ellie saw the soup, I saw her make a face.
"umm…" she said. "Is this vegetarian?"
The old lady spoke up. "Vegetarian? Umm, well no, it's made from the venom of a very rare beetle, with some sprigs of parsley."
"Oh, umm…" said Ellie. I could tell she didn't want to eat it. I wonder why? The old lady's cooking is good!
"Why does it have to be vegetarian?" I asked with my mouthful of soup.
"Because we're vegetarians."
"Yeah P—I mean Robin, some people don't like to eat camel humps and tiger paws." said Sabrina, then she directed her gaze at Ellie. "C'mon, there's some salad in the fridge, you can help me get it out." Sabrina got up, and Ellie followed her into the kitchen.
Who would eat salad over this?
Ellie's POV
I knew this family was a little strange when Ms. Grimm said the purple; yes-PURPLE soup was made from bug venom. I mean, how gross is that? But, luckily, the girl with blonde hair, (I learned her name is Sabrina) got some salad for me (which she seemed to be happy about, sense she seemed not to like Ms. Grimm's cooking anymore than I did.)
We brought the salad back to the table, and Sabrina brought some tomato soup too, so dinner wasn't too, too bad.
Dinner was awkward though, I mean, eating with people you barely know, while staying in their house because of a snowstorm, is well, a little weird, but we managed it.
"So," said Ms. Grimm. "you're in New York for a competition, you said?"
"Uh, yeah," I replied. "I flute competition."
"I play the flute!" said the boy named Robin.
I saw Sabrina roll her eyes.
"No you don't you idiot." she said. "Your reed pipes are not an excuse."
"Yes, they are!" said Robin.
"No, they're aren't! All you do is call your—" Sabrina broke off in mid-sentence. "I mean, uh, you barely practice."
There was an awkward silence.
I could see the cute younger girl (Daphne) look a little frightened, I wonder why?
No ones POV
After dinner, Ellie, Amber and their parents went up to their rooms. Ellie got out her flute to practice. She could hear whispering in the hall as she did her etudes.
"Why do they keep staring at us?" came Sabrina's hushed voice.
"Probably 'cuz I'm so attractive." she heard Robin say.
"More like not!" said Sabrina.
Daphne's voice broke through the two older kids fight.
"We have to be quiet! They're in that room!" Ellie guessed she was pointing to the door of her and Amber's room (their parents had gotten their own room too).
Ellie practiced for another 45 minutes and then put her flute away. She went over to Amber, who was lying on the bed, listening to her green ipod nano.
"Don't you think they look like the people from the sisters grimm?" she said.
"Yeah, I know!" said Amber.
"Maybe we should find out…" said Ellie mysteriously.
"Okay." said Amber quickly. (she really wanted to see if they were real, she had a crush on Puck).
Ellie and Amber opened the door to their room. They sneaked down the hall to where "Robin's" room was.
"If it really is the Grimm's house, than his room should be a forest." said Amber.
"Right." said Ellie.
A few minutes went by.
"Why aren't you opening the door?" asked Amber.
"Why aren't you?"
"Why aren't YOU?!"
"Well, because—" she was broken off by the sound of their mothers voice.
"Ellie, Amber?"
"Shoot." said Ellie, and they headed back to their room.
