Not planned...at all

Chapter 3

"F-fuck!"

Jumping up Nell cussed loudly, they'd been home just seconds ago and now... What even was this place?!

"Yes duck, indeed."

Of course Roxy had to correct her for swearing when she herself would sometimes talk like a sailor.

Hiking herself up on the rock Roxanne was already on the both hissed cleaning off the snow from their socks.

Everything around them was mountain and snow along with the occasional forest. And, although that usually would've been calming and weight lifting for both girls who'd grown up hiking with their parents, it was nerve-wracking and unsettling to find yourself in it unprepared.

Big sweaters, fuzzy socks and leggings were not what one would usually wear when hiking.

"Where are we?"

Nell gave Roxanne a look before pettily answering.

"We're in my room still, can't you see it?!"

Sarcasm dripped from her words as she unraveled a part of her braids to cover her ears since they felt uncharacteristically cold.

"Any ideas on what even happened? You clicked on the link I could only hear white noise and static, next thing I know my head feels like it's bursting and my eyes burn so I close them. Only to come back to my senses for this...and although it's beautiful and magnificent the closest we were to this type of landscape was hours in a plane or days in a car so it's safe to say something just happened"

Roxanne gave Leonor a quick once over, curled up on the rock next to her, her mouth opened about to say something but nothing really came out and instead she reached for Nell's ear who only stared confused at her cousin.

"Maybe we did do the plane hours and got drugged? Are you okay?!"

"Your ears Nell, they're pointy! Like real pointy and long, not normal rounded shape. Are mine like that too?!"

Confused Leonor reached to feel her ears, confused when the shape didn't correspond to what she was used to. Looking back to see Roxy pull back her hair from her now also weird long pointy ears.

"Woah...um I did not buy us anything hallucinogenic just so you know! Okay, okay let's just breathe. Weird ears shouldn't be a problem right? Freezing to death is, so let's get moving."

Instinctively going into older cousin mode Leonor was already looking around for somewhere warm to go, she'd freak out later.

Who was she kidding her hands were already shaking as she took of walking in hopes of getting them somewhere better. Roxanne was the one actually keeping things cool, all she'd been doing was feel up her new ears with the biggest smile that promised nothing but chaos.

There really was nothing around them other than incredibly large pine trees snow and mountains, the vast plain was slightly dizzying especially when they had no way out.

The possibility of any of this not being real had quickly been ruled out by the fact that not only were they together but their damp cold socks from the snow felt incredibly real.
