Shadow Serpents: The Ordinary

Chapter 2: Fitting in.

<Clary's POV>

As unpackeded my bags, and started looking for a walk in the garden to get some fresh air. This thought was alive till I heard a crash, a bang, something breaking, screaming, yelling. And as an elder sister, I know that those sounds are not positive at all. There goes my walk. I ran down the main stairs and got lost several times, till I bumped into a very startled-looking Bella.

"Oh my god, it's a good thing I found you, your sisters are... I honestly don't know what they're doing. But I know that it's not good or safe. Plus they won't stop mam'" She said out of breath.STuNnInGG.

"First off, don't call me mam just call me Clary. Sewherewhere where is their room?" I replied

She nodded and turned down the hallway to assure me forward to follow her. I followed her down a hallway down a staircase and through yet another hallway. 'WHY DOES THIS HOUSE HAVE TO BE SO BIG' I mentally screamed in my head as we headed toward a door which grew closer just as yelles and screames grew louder.

The scene in front of me was concerning and hilarious at the same time as my sister decided it was a nice time to have a dual with a bunch of fire pokers (don't know what you call them ) instead of lightsabers. I know it's super safe. I just looked at them and started cracking up when my mother came into the room mumbling about stupid twisting stairs while rubbing her butt. I started laughing even harder when I saw the horrified look on my sister's faces when they saw my mother having the typical asian mother ( no offense to Asian mums. You all do a great job.) look on her face as they failed miserably to hide the fire pokers behind their backs.

"Time out both of you"

"Awh, come on mum"

"No awhs and whys. Downstairs in the living room, both of you and Clary unpack their bags and go back to whatever you were doing."

"WHAT! Why me."

"Because you are the eldest" my mum replied as she dragged Melanie and Zephyr ( who were currently debating over whose fault it was) out the door.

I groan and look around their room (I'm not gonna describe their room because I'm lazy, so imagine it as you like with the bed opposite to the window. Their just 8 and 9 years so make it like a small kid would want) and my eyes land on their trunk. I unpacked their bags and ran downstairs not stopping to say where I was going to my mum. I ran outside and was met by a cool breeze that hit my face. Freedom.

I walked toward the little hidden pond I saw from the window. From afar it looked like a bunch of wild gooseberry bushes. As I went close I could see a small clearing which led to a wondrous sight. A crystal clear blue water pond with a few white water lilies floating on top and a variety of fish swimming in it. Beside or behind the pond was a big tree, I didn't know which type it was, was a spot big enough to hold a bench or a picnic blanket. I sat there for a while thinking about what had happened during the past 2 days till now. It was all too much to take in. What with the whole moving countries and coming here to find out that we're gonna spend the rest of our lives in a huge mansion in the middle of a country side somewhere in Scotland. It's a lot to take in at once and not to forget that there's a madman who's trying to murder us. Life's depressing.

I look down at the T-shirt I'm wearing. It had this written across it in big bold letters:

Enjoy Your Prombles, Bye.

Thinking about it I suppose it makes sense. Life is full of problems so I'm supposed to be enjoying life.
