Elena froze and she swallowed, her mind still fuzzy and trying to process what happened. She looked back and forth between the dangerous lake and the boys before clearing her throat. "What did you say?" she said, trying to remain calm.
"oh. uhm.. we dro-" but Sabo didn't even get to finish because Elena took off in a sprint. Her hand slid on the railing as she jumped swiftly over the railing. She faced the fence below the bridge that separated her from the beasts. She started to climb up but she felt the two boy's tug on her jacket. "Are you crazy?!" Ace scolded " No, let me go!" Elena screamed and with a final tug she landed on the ground.
"You could have died if you had went in there!" Sabo warned her. "No! I need that ring!" she threw her hands in the air. Ace took a step forward and reached his hand as to calm her down. His hand rested on her shoulder but as he did she jerked away as if he was the plague. " Don't touch me!" she shrieked and Ace and Sabo eyes widened.
"Hey guys what are you shouting for?" Sage hopped down the steps under the bridge, Luffy railing her as she held the ice cream cones. "ITS YOUR FAULT!" Elena ignored Sage, tears were falling down and spun on the heels of her shoe and sprinted off. "Elena wait!" Sabo reached out but she had already left. Sage, eyes wide, blinked then turned back to the boys with the ice cream cones.
The ice cream had already melted though. "Mind telling me what the frikfrak that was?" she asked carefully. Sabo paled considerably and poked Ace's cheek.
"It was his fault okay? I didn't do nothing!" he squeaked and Ace shot him the dirtiest glare before looking back at Sage. "We dropped her ring in the pond." he spoke so casually. "Oh okay.." ... "YOU DID WHAT?" the thought finally hit her like a cannon. "Oh my gosh...oh my god... you..yo- what kind of thing persuaded you do do that?" she hissed. Ace and Sabo's face had been pelted with the ice cream cones and Luffy pouted considerably. "Ish whsha acshidesh." Sabo tried to speak through the ice cream. "DONT TALK WITH FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH, WHAT KIND OF IDIOTS ARE YOU? MANNERS!" Sage scolded and the boys shot her a dirty look. "It was an accident," Sabo repeated, wiping the remaining cream off his face with the handkerchiefs that Sage gave them. "You guy..." Sage groaned.
She walked around and mumbled a few words, grasping at her head. from time to time she shot the boys a dirty look.
"Uh, mind telling us why it was so important to her the ?" Sabo asked and Sage finally had calmed down and sighed. She sat down on the rocks and let out a breath. The boys leaned in, eager to hear the story behind the ring. "Well, that ring used to belong to a boy, that boy was Elena's best friend." she began and Sabo raised an eyebrow, 'was?' But Sage continued.
~ 4 years ago ~
"Elena! Get down here right now!" Her mother called her and Elena went down the stairs ever so slowly. Her mothers hands were on her hips and she stood at the bottom of the stairway. "Did you finish packing?" she asked and Elena made a face. "But I don't want to go!" she whined and her mother sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose."We went through this Elena, it's only for 1 month, wouldn't you like to visit an island in the grand line?" her mother tried to persuade.
"But I won't even have anyone to play with!" Elena stomped her foot on the ground and her mom rolled her eyes. "Your father and sister will be going with you." she reasoned but Elena replied with a face.
"You will make a lot of friends anyway," she said, turning around and pulling out a backpack from the cabinet behind her. "Fine..." Elena deeply sighed. "Now what backpack colour do you want, purple or pink?" her mother said, sorting the backpacks. "Purple," Elena said quickly.
Her mother laughed, it was her favourite colour anyways so why did she have to ask? Elena rushed upstairs with the backpack in her hand. "Hurry up!" a four year old Sage said at the doorway with her father. Elena bolted down the stairs, her backpack full, "That was fast." her mother sweat dropped. Her mother followed her husband and two daughters to the door.
She kneeled down to Sage who had hugged her tightly. Elena hugged her mom before taking a few steps back, " don't miss me to much! you'll get wrinkles!" she warned, waving good bye as Marissa's husband kissed her goodbye. The door had shut and the trio made their way down the path. Dalion, Elena and sages father, had took one a really angered look and grabbed Elena's arm tightly. "Wh-what are you doing?" Sages eyes widened at her fathers sudden movements.
He grabbed Sages arm to before pulling them harshly forward. "Listen up brats," his tone changed to a bitter one. Elena and Sage shared a look before Elena spoke , "why are you acting like this da-" but before Elena could finish her sentence he raised his leg, kicking her across her torso. Sage ran to her sister aid before turning to Dale with disgust.
"You two brats better not get in my way." Dale sneered before walking off. "Are you okay?" Sages look softened and she held a hand in her shoulder. "I-I'm fine, let's just go." Elena got up and trudged forward. The ten minute walk was silent to the ship.
Sage kept sneaking glances at her father just in case he would snap again. They handed their tickets in and boarded the ship. "Right here will be your room for the departure." the ships bellhop had gestured to a decent sized room. He opened the door, "hope you will have a good stay along her finests ship." he nodded slightly before walking away. Their was a huge bed that could have easily hold 5 people.
Dale turned towards the children. "this bed will be mine, you can sleep on the floor." he said with a snarky grin. The girls shared a look and Elena opened her jaw before clamping it shut. she looked at Sage before looking at Dale. "Fine.." she murmured. Their was a desk pressed against the window and a drawer on the other side. A picture of a women in black was pinned above the bed. ~ During the entire voyage, Elena had been lonely.
Dale had been getting drunk on some run and to her disgust hitting on some of the women on board. When he was drunk his beatings got worse then when he was sober. Elena had bruises all over her body, they were in places that were under her clothes so no one could see them. Finally, they landed on the island. To say it was huge was an understatement. The entire island was enormous. It looked rich with greenery. A giant village seemed to be settled in the middle. Their were manors dotted in the forests along with private property.
Above the town was a huge castle, it was a deep shade of brown and looked pretty historic. A huge balcony was stuck in the middle looking like a mouth. Near the north end of the island, far away was mountains and mountains. The island was certainly incredible. Elena fawned over the island as the sailor handed the backpack to her.
Her father snorted at her behaviour before following her down the ramp. Sage and Elena waited for their father at the bottom of the ramp. The wind took hold of Sage's blond hair making it whip around. Elena anxiously rubbed her sore arm where the worst bruises were. Finally Dale made it to the bottom, "let's go," he said in a gruff voice.
He guided them through out the village, it was really busy and full of life. They stopped at the castle, " This is the Roznalia castle, don't worry, they won't ever let filth like you step inside," he smirked at the gaping children before turning to the right. After a while, they made it through the forest and stopped at a manor. It seemed the same size as all the other ones yet had more windows. It's colour was white, pure starling white. "This place it more like a hotel, it can room up to 150 people," Dale explained before knocking on the white door. A man opened the door, he wore a white suit and had fluffy grey hair, he had small found glasses to go with the outfit.
"Hello, my name is Baku, welcome to the Castallia inn." he said and swung his hand out. 'Inn? This place is freakin huge!' Sage thought. As Baku and Dale exchanged the tickets Elena looked around the manor.
Every inch of the gallow was white. white couches, white tiles, white walls. The only colour that seemed to seep in was grey mixed with a light blue in the pictures. This place immediately made her sick. "Doesn't this place make you sick?" Elena asked Baku.
Dale gritted his teeth meanwhile Baku simply chuckled. "We think it is more pure and fresh this way!" he explained. Elena nodded as if she understood but she really didn't. who would want to live in a place that resembled a canvas? Baku explained to the children that there were more kids around in the back playing, they ranged from all ages. Dale dismissed them to leave. "I'm gonna explore the house!" Sage stated.
"I'll go explore the back the." Elena replied, she bolted out to the back. She trudged through the neatly cut grass. She found the garden and she marvelled at it before realizing all the flowers were white, the disgust filled her once more. She found a clean cut white gate once she had exited the garden. She placed her hands on the wood and pushed forcefully. The gate groaned and opened to reveal a play ground.
Their was a white starling swing set (surprise surprise!), two toddlers were seated on them. They had pale blond hair with pink eyes and had bodices around them tightly along with little pale blue dresses. She turned to her right to see a hammock strung between two trees. A teenage boy who had red hair was seated on it. His hands crossed behind his head and his eyes shut peacefully. To her left was a trio at the sandbox. A girl had a pixie cut that seems to be dyed black and pale skin. Her eyes were turquoise and seemed to shine. T
he boy next to her had a mop of blond hair and green jade eyes. Another boy was sitting crossed legged. He had curly red hair with freckles that dotted his face. His eyes seemed to be red. A teenage girl was lounging on a chair by the pool. Her hair was golden blonde and had these sapphire blue eyes.
A brunette haired boy with blue eyes was swimming in the pool, his abs flexed with each stroke and he seemed to be another teen. Another teenager was perched under a tree.
Her hair was split into two pony tails that were black and seemed oily. Her black eyes were hidden behinds pair of thick glasses. She was reading a book, her eyebrows furrowed at the words. Finally straight ahead were three boys, they seemed to be triplets, they wore plaid shirts and had blue hair with glossy grey eyes. They were pushing around a boy who had blonde hair and blue eyes, he had freckles and wore circular glasses. He shrieked as one of this triplets pushed him to the ground. The other triplet laughed as the blondes face hit the ground. Hard. His glasses flew off and the third triplet raised his foot, ready to crush the glass.
Elena's eyes widened and without a thought, she raced forward. Everyone stopped what they were doing as she tackled the boy to the ground. "LE-let me go! what are you doing?!" he screamed under her grasp. He pushed Elena aside, got up, fixed his shirt before wiping a smudge on his face away. He glared at Elena for a second before turning back to his brothers. "Let's go guys," he turned around. the other two grumbled but followed their brother. Once they stalked away, Elena turned to the blond, she held her hand out. "Th-thanks.." he shyly said as Elena handed him the glasses back. "No problem, why are they doing that?" She asked the nameless boy. "They like to pick on me because they know that I'm underrated. less rich, less cool etc." "Oh.." Elena brightened up instantly.
"Can you tell me everyone's name this, blondie?" she asked and he blushed at the nick name. He pointed toward the twin girls on the swings. "those are the twins, Lola and Lucy, their adorable and kind and love to play princesses." Elena nodded as he continued. "That's Grayson, he can be anti social really and does things on his own most of the time."
He pointed to the boy on the hammock. "Those people are Jade, Relede and Harlow. they love playing pirates even though it's taboo around here." Elena perked up at that. " That's Aison and Alison. they've been dating for like forever! Aison is really cocky and rude while Alison acts like the snobby queen of everything." "That's sayia, she's really shy and doesn't really talk." "Those triplets that were bullying me are jimg, Xing and Kiske" He finished and Elena took a few moments to process the information. "What's your name?" he asked and before she said what it was, "we should spit shake on it! so we'll be friends forever!" he blushed but obliged. "My names Elena Alverez-Rose!" She spat on her hand, reaching it out.
He spat in his hand, "Kiroto Azuzaki, my name is Kiroto Asuzaki!"
They slapped their hands together, the spit colliding...
