Different - First of A Kind

Chapter 4: Explaination

   What is it, then? I questioned, my calmness going away as fast as hers, maybe even faster.

   To my disappointment, Frost didn't answer me. Instead, I said out loud, "Exactly what kind of cat?"

   Raven stuttered, "Wha- What do you mean?" Wow, for all the time I've known her, I'll admit, it's not long, she's never stuttered, and always been confident and strong. Not now.

   "I mean, like, snow leopard?" I said, then I realized my mistake at only saying the one, probably one of the most uncommon big cats, so I quickly fixed it by quickly hurrying on. "O- Or tiger, leopard, cheetah, lion?"

   It was my turn to be stared at weirdly. "Uh, I think it was snow leopard," Lucy chimed in. "Keywords: I think."

   I chuckled, then murmured to myself, "That makes sense."

   Unfortunately, I didn't appear to say it quietly enough. "What do you mean, that makes sense?" Aldridge asked, still quite shocked from the cat thing.

   "Oh, uh, nothing," I rushed very unconvincing.

   "Uh huh," Raei said, nodding her head. "Now tell us. We all deserve to know."

   I froze. What do I do?

   I didn't aim that question at Frost, but she replied nonetheless. 'Tell them about me.' She sighed. 'They were going to figure it out eventually.'

   Ok, how?

   'Want me to tell them?' Frost suggested.

   Ok.

   "This is going to sound weird," Frost's growly voice came out of my mouth, startling everyone at the strange sound.

   Aspen looked at me in the eye, then mouthed 'Frost' slowly, tilting his head as if asking a question. I nodded, and I could hear Aspen whisper to Raven and Lucy, "Frost."

   Frost continued, "My name is Frost."

   (A/N: Again, really tempted to stop here.)

   "Moss?" Mom said shakily. "That's Moss, my daughter. Not Frost."

   Give me my voice for a sec. I requested. You can have it back to explain things.

   I felt back in control of my voice, so I explained it to everyone, "Now it's me, Moss. Frost can take over my voice, which is why it goes all growly."

   I saw understanding flash through Raei and Aldridge's eyes. Now they know that most of the times that I 'growled' at them, it was because Frost was at least partly in control. "When did... Frost... appear?" Raei asked me curiously.

   "Earlier today, when I woke up in the infirmary from passing out."

   "Why did you pass out?" Aspen questioned. When the others shot looks at him, he said, "What? I'm new to some of this too!"

   I laughed, then Frost took over my voice, "It was probably because of all the increased senses. We have better sight, smell, hearing, and reflexes than even advanced earth elements."

   Everyone nodded slowly, Raei, Aldridge, and my mom were still recovering from the shock of Frost, when finally, Mom asked, "So... what are you?"

 So, this is chapter four. I want see if anyone is going to answer these questions, though it's one hundred percent fine if you don't, of course.

 Updates have been going semi fast, at least the four updates that have happened so far, but I'm afraid to say that updates will be getting probably pretty slow when school starts for me, which is tomorrow... D: Wish me luck!

 And, if you were wondering, yes, Frost speaks as if her and Moss are one. Moss does not. Yet. She might in the future.

 What do you think Frost is like?

 What element do you think Moss/Frost is? I've not listed any of the rare elements, besides Aldridge's mind control, so it could be anything. Guess away!

 Excuse any mistakes in grammar, or any other mistakes you find. I'll get around to fixing it up sooner or later.

 Also, a little guide about the way people speak for those who are wondering:

"Quotations for people speaking out loud and no italics or bold."

'For Frost speaking, or possibly someone in the future speaking in her mind, italics with single quotations.'

Just italics for her thinking, or usually its speaking in her mind to her 'companions', AKA, her dragon (in the future) and Frost.

'For her future dragon speaking in her mind, its bold and italics with the single quotations. Yes, she gets a dragon...'
