The Indignant

Day 2: Midnight Snacks

~6:45 am~ 

I woke up with a cloud of tiredness holding over my head, I stretched, and yawned yearning for something sweet. I crept down the hall, and reached the kitchen sniffing the air if there was anything sweet in the cookie jar. 

There a few more cookies in the jar, and they looked sweet enough not to be old or anything. But the only thing that was standing in my way was how high up it was. I was pretty tall for my age, but I couldn't quite reach the cupboards without climbing the counters. So with hunger like a pit in my stomach, I climbed the counter like there was no tomorrow, and when I got to the counter top I didn't want to stand up, and fall to make a lot of noise so I balanced my weight on my knees. 

~6:51 am~ 

I grabbed the jar, and almost fumbled the heavy jar. So I reached my hand into the jar, and grabbed three sweet cookies, and as I was about to put the jar back in it's place then, I felt some hands on me...it wasn't my mother it was Marcellus, “Constance? What are you doing?” Marcellus said, I hid the jar right behind the toaster with the quickness, “I was just getting some water...” I said, “Well the water is way over there, and you're way over here. Marcellus said with a small smile. “Um...I was just a...uhh..” I racked my brain for another fib. “Aha!” Marcellus now had a sly smirk on his face, “You just got caught up in your little fib!” I rolled my eyes, and hopped off of the counter, and strolled back into the dark hallway, “You know you didn't have to fib Constance.” Marcellus said in a hushed tone, “I saw you the whole time you know...” I almost dropped my stash of cookies, “Also...” Marcellus continued, “I saw your little undergarments too...what were they again? Oh yeah...they had little frogs on them...don't they?” Then I felt his presence right behind me, “Mm...what a shame if something happened to you hm?” Marcellus clicked his tongue, and walked back to the couch he was sitting on, and I knew he was watching me but I didn't care. I ran back to my room with my heart in my throat. 'What just happened?' I thought.
