Chapter 3: You bitch

Next morning

knock knock

"Enter." Mina answered.

"Hey, how are y'feelin'?" Anna asked as she entered.

"Better. Anna, he..." Mina began.

"Rejected you. Yeah, I know." Anna continued as she sat on the bed with Mina.

"How is that you know? I didn't tell you." Mina asked confused.

"Do y'seriously thought that I'll stay and do nothin' after I saw y'cryin' like y'were?"

"No."

"I went straight to him and asked if he did something to you. And he told me that he didn't want to sleep with you." Anna explained.

"I don't understand. You said that he always wants to."

"He doesn't want you to have your first time with someone that doesn't loves you." Anna said waiting for the worst.

"He doesn't... love me?" Mina asked tears appearing in her eyes.

"No."

"But he said that he loves me! Why did he do it if he didn't love me?!" Mina shouted.

"Because he thought that he loves you. Later he realized that he doesn't. Mina, forget him. There are other boys in this town." Anna said trying to calm her down.

"He likes someone else, doesn't he?" Mina said. Anna didn't answer. "Anna!"

"Yes."

"Who?' Mina asked.

"I don't know!" Anna lied. She wasn't ready to deal with Mina if she would find out who was that particular person.

"Yes you know!" Mina yelled back.

"Mina, stop it! I don't know okay! I don't know! It's not like me and him are best friends or something so that he would tell me his secrets!" Anna replied unknowingly raising her voice.

"Anna, I'm sorry. I'm so nervous that I don't make the difference between the persons I should yell at and the persons I should thank for helping me." Mina apologized.

"I understand."

"I will find out alone who she is?" Mina added.

"What's the use?" Anna asked.

"So I can beat the bitch up!" Mina answered. Not good.

"Maybe she's the guilty one in this story. Have you ever thought that she doesn't feel the same?"

"Don't side with her, Anna!"

"I'm not." Anna said as she rose from the bed. "Bye."

"I still don't know what to do. Mina hates the girl Dean loves. I don't even want to imagine what would happen if she would find out that it's me. I barely succeeded to come back at the relation we had before my adoptive father threw me out. Now, to lose everything because of a boy. Why did he have to fall for me? It was no problem if I loved him as long as he didn't know. It would have faded away in time. But now, now that I know that he feels the same and I know that I don't have a chance with him because his relationship with Mina, it hurts worse. I'm avoiding him. I haven't spoken with him since that very day. Rogue asked me what's wrong with us. One day we are like best friends, one day we argue and one day we just ignore each other. I didn't answer. She can't find out the truth yet. I hoped that Mina's urge to find out who the mysterious girl was will pass in few days but have already passed a week and a half and she still wants to. I fear the moment she will know. It won't be a bright day at the Institute. She loves him. She really does. She tries to talk with him but most of the time he's out. From what I guess into a bar. Okay, not guess, I followed him once and saw it. I feel sorry for him. After all, I love him and I'd want to see him happy at least with Mina if we don't have a chance. Now I have to go, I'm hungry and I have to eat until Dean comes back from where he left." Anna saved the document that was playing the role of diary and closed her laptop. When she was at the middle of the stairs the front door opened and Dean entered. He raised his eyes and looked at her.

"Shit." Anna muttered. Just walk as nothing had happened and maybe he will ignore you. Wrong.

"Anna. I want to talk with you." he said calmly when she passed by him.

"I don't."

"Please." he begged.

"Fine. What do you want?"

"Let's go to the kitchen." he said and pulled her after him.

"I'm listenin'." Anna said crossing her arms.

"Help me."

"Excuse me?" Anna asked confused.

"Help me with Mina. Every time she sees me she asks me who the mysterious girl is. I don't know how much longer I can resist."

"Y'CAN'T tell her. If y'say somethin' I can't imagine her reaction."

"I know. But what can I do? If I knew that this would happen I'd had gotten together with her."

"Y'couldn't know that this would happen."

"Yeah... I mean who'd imagine that I'll fall for the person I hated from the moment I saw. And I had to get involved exactly with her sister." Dean smiled sadly.

"Why you couple of traitors!" a voice said as they turned around.

"Oh God, no." Anna said watching Mina entering in the kitchen very angry.

"Mina!" Dean said surprised.

"You don't know who the girl is, don't you? How exactly could you think that I'll never find out that is you!"

"She's not..." Dean began.

"You shut up! I'm talking with her!" Mina yelled.

"Dean, go." Anna spoke.

"But-"

"Go." he left leaving the two girls to argue.

"You're such a selfish bitch! You couldn't stand the fact that I was happy with him."

"Mina, y'got it wrong."

"Got what wrong? From the day when we played that game where you kissed him I knew that this would happen. You convinced him to refuse me didn't you? You're so selfish. I shared everything with you, did you expected to share him too?!"

"I didn't do anythin'!!! Why don't you just understand? I barely found out!!! And I knew that y're going to react this way!"

"And that's why you didn't tell me?"

"Yes."

"Don't you understand? I love him! And I'm capable of everything for him. And I would kill you if that would make him love me again."

"Mina, stop with this foolishness."

"Now, I know why you told me to find another. So that you could stay with him!!!"

"That's not true!!!"

"Yes, it is! And you're going to pay for this." With that she took a knife from a support and disappeared.

"Mina, don't..." Anna said as she realized that Mina was no longer normal. She backed off to the door listening carefully. Even with the power of invisibility Mina had a weakness, she didn't know to hide her steps. And for someone with experience, she could be easily located. Anna closed her eyes and listened. She was getting closer and in the moment the knife sailed trough the air, Anna grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "Let go." she said calmly. Mina appeared.

"Never. I'm going to make you pay for all you've done." Mina tried to escape.

"Mina, just stop it. I'm not goin' to tell the professor anythin' but stop it!" Anna said. Mina's hand with the knife escaped and tried once more to kill Anna but with incredible speed, she sent an electric shock that made Mina to drop the knife then to fall to the ground unconscious. "Jesus." Anna said to herself as she took the knife and put it back on the support. In the same moment, Scott Summers entered the kitchen with Jean Grey and the others. He looked at Anna, then at Mina.

"You!" he said as with anger grabbed Anna's blouse collar. "It wasn't enough you were one of the Brotherhood delinquent; you had to be a murderer too. You tried to kill your sister!" he yelled in her face. The others just stayed amazed.

"What?" was all Anna could say.

"No, this time I'm going to kick you out of the Institute with my own two hands!" he yelled as he started to drag her towards the door of the kitchen. With an incredible power, Anna escaped from his hands and grabbed him by the collar, slamming him into a wall.

"That's enough!!! I'm tired of you blaming me for everything that happens around here. Why the fuck don't you ask what happened first! I'll tell you! She tried to kill me and I stopped her!" She let his collar and made a step back.

"Do you think I believe you? I just saw you putting a knife on the table while Mina is lying on the floor!" Boom. A lamp exploded as the lights went on and off.

"I don't care what you believe! And don't worry, I'll go because this is the last time I accept your insults and blaming!" A moan interrupted her talking as they looked at Mina who was waking up. She looked confused at the X-Men then spotted her sister. With a quick move she woke up and took again a knife and threw it towards her. Because of fury or not, Anna made it to explode in middle air. "That's it! I'm sick of forgiving all this madly in love shit!!!" she yelled as she grabbed Mina's both hands. "Wake up to reality, girl! Wake up!" she yelled in Mina's face and pushed her. Mina didn't make a move, she remained there silent. Anna turned around and left the room leaving the X-Men without a comment.

Chapter 3. Mina goes mad. Well, it was about time to get rid of the so good sister and make Anna a new enemy. So, what do you think about this chapter? I like it. I hope that you too.
