Time will never tell

Chapter Four

The little girl started to think, obviously deep in thought. Katie, beginning to get bored of waiting, waved her hand in front of the girls face. The girl huffed and turned around facing Katie. "My brother can help you!" she shouted in realization as if she had been contemplating it for a while now. Time led Katie to another house further in the forest that Katie didn't even know had been there. Time led them inside of the giant 4 story house, leaving her wondering how she had never noticed it before, surely it was taller than most of the trees, and knocked at a posh looking door. Out stepped a tall slim blonde boy who smiled warmly at a time before shooting Katie a perplexed look. Time began to explain "Aries this is..." Katie was trying hard to listen but the girl was whispering so quietly, it was very hard to hear, Katie thought the older boy shared the same problems as he had bent over to reach the same height as the girl. He looked extremely confused but as time spoke on he became more alert. Katie looked around at the ornate decorations placed delicately around the fireplace, the house was beautiful and way more modern than she had expected. The boy looked worried and began quickly writing a note to someone. He practically threw the letter at his younger sister and she dashed off with it clutched in her left hand. Aries got up from his chair and wandered over to where Katie was sitting with a similar look of worry on his face that his sister had previously expressed. He gazed at her sadly and began to speak with an air of elegance. "So you must be Katie Mullon, I assume?" Katie nodded and assumed that Time had told him her name, but then again she hadn't told time her second name before she could think more upon it she was interrupted by the same air of elegance as before "There's no need to be scared, Katie, We're here to help you," Katie sighed deeply and nodded. "Can you help my family?" She asked. "Yes, easily" Aries replied, Katie was beginning to get annoyed with the boy for his lack of answering, yes he'd agreed to help her and her family but he didn't bother to explain how. The boy rolled his eyes obviously seeing the look on Katie's face. "Well. I can't tell you, silly mortal." It was like he understood what she was thinking. Katie began to get frustrated, she didn't quite understand what he had said at the end but, she understood that it was probably an insult. She decided against arguing with him as he may decide not to help her family, for, after all, he seemed very changeable. As Katie opened her mouth to seek common ground, Time came dashing through the door, "I did it," She said, catching her breath, or at least trying to. "Yes, I can see that Time," Her brother spoke sarcastically, Time sensed his annoyance, as they seemed to have a close relationship, after all, he had greeted her welcomingly. Katie rolled her eyes as Time shot her a look, which Katie took to mean, what did you say to him? Time suddenly spoke up in a monotone voice, "Katie." She said coldly. Katie was slightly shocked, and a trifle hurt, "Yes?" She said back with a sad smile. "We need to go, my brother is going to make a special medicine for your brother, mommy, and daddy." Time spoke, she seemed angry, whether it be at Katie or her brother was unknown. Clearly, Katie was taking way too long to decide, because the next thing she knew Time was grabbing her sleeve and shoving her playfully out the door. She hugged her brother and waved to him before they left. Katie noticed that despite being older than her, Time spoke like she was much younger, but her vocabulary was amazing, for example, she used words like "Special Medicine" or  "mommy" which Katie didn't address as words girls their age would use. Maybe she was just raised like that. Katie knew that all parents were different, one of her friends from the village calls her mother by her first name. Katie knew she would never be able to do without being told off. However, before she could think of a question to ask Time about her attitude in the house, a freezing cold ball of snow hit her the back of her head. "Bullseye!" Time chanted in the background, "Wanna have a snowball fight, there's nothing we can do to help until Aries is done!" She shouted so that Katie could hear, after all, she was quite far away. Just as Katie was about to agree she remembered something. Something that she didn't know how she could solve.
