Gulloway Curse (3/?)
Chapter Three
Kurt and Puck left the garden immediately after the meeting with Mrs. Gulloway. Portia was anxious to show them to their rooms, so the boys followed. The rooms were right next to each other, and both of them were instructed to start putting their things away, since Portia had moved their bags into the rooms already.
Kurt nodded and disappeared into his room. In the center sat a large queen bed covered with a yellow, floral comforter. It was a little bit girlie for his tastes, but he knew that this was just a temporary stay. He could deal with that.
On the opposing wall stood a dresser, tall and proud. It was carved with polished wood. It had an iniquitous air about it that made Kurt not want to taint it with anything. He sighed however and opened his suitcase on the bed. He walked over and started placing items into the drawers. That was until he heard a knock at the door.
He turned on his heal and saw Puck already heading in and shutting the door. Kurt let out an extended breath, a bit more at ease.
Puck noticed the breath, "What's the matter, babe?"
Kurt walked up to his boyfriend and put his arms around his neck, "Everything here is just so…intense."
Puck smirked and placed a small kiss on the shorter boy's lips, "It's gonna be fine. Sure, things are a bit…anal here, but the summer will go by quicker and we'll be home."
"You sure?" Kurt asked, a bit of worry in his voice. Puck kissed him again and nodded. They pressed their foreheads together and sighed.
They stood like that for a minute before another knock came at the door. It opened and in walked Portia. She gasped and covered her mouth, knowing she saw something she shouldn't have.
"Um…excuse me but…uh…Mrs. Gulloway would like to…erm…see you downstairs," she stuttered out and quickly scurried off. Both of the boys laughed and headed down the large staircase to the front room. Kurt froze at the sight of his grandmother standing there with the same girl he'd seen before. She looked cleaned up however, draped in a white baby-doll dress with her orange hair sitting on her breasts. She grinned wide at Kurt who continued walking when Puck had bumped into him.
Once they had reached the floor, Mrs. Gulloway began speaking. "Kurt and Noah, this is Elinor Rose," she gestured to the red-head, emphasizing the "I" in the girl's name, "She's your cousin…Kurt."
Elinor Rose stuck her hand out to shake Kurt's. He obliged and so did Puck. She grinned brightly, "You can call me Elli if you'd like."
Mrs. Gulloway scoffed, "As you will, but I like to address you by the name your parents gave you," she walked away after this statement and disappeared behind a large door. The second it closed, Elinor Rose's expression hardened.
"You need to leave," she stepped closer to Kurt, her teeth gritted.
"What do you mean?" Kurt asked, slightly terrified. The girl chuckled creepily. She held her stomach she was laughing so hard. Then she suddenly returned to normal.
"Katherine doesn't want you here," she replied coldly. Kurt gulped and backed off a bit. Puck however stayed in his place.
"What do you mean Katherine doesn't want him here?" Puck asked, incredulously. Elinor Rose cackled yet again.
"She wants her baby to be safe," the girl whispered before turning and walking away, all the way to the garden door. She looked back at them once more before retreating outside.
