The Funeral

Anna got the funeral at her hometown in Ireland. She stood there waiting for the guests by the church door in a black Chinese dress with silver lining. Her eyes were full of sorrow as she sighed sadly. She looked up to see a black limo pulling up at the front. She watched as the door was opened. She gasped at the sight and calmed down. "Hello, Mr. Chaolan." She said sweetly as Lee came up the steps in that tuxedo he wore in the fifth tournament.

"Hello, Ms. Williams." He said as he bowed to her. She smiled as she asked, "What are you doing here? Paying your respects to my sister?" "No, actually, I'm here for the free food." He said as he watched Anna's face went shocked. He laughed as her face slowly went to normal. "Just kidding. I'm here to pay my respects to your dear sister Mina." He said. "Nina." She corrected him. "Whatever." He said as he walked inside. She pulled out her mini-recorder and quietly said to it, "Note to self: Never date Lee Chaolan again."

After Lee, other fighters from the tournament came and greeted her and went inside the church. She waited as she checked her wristwatch. '10:38, that's early.' She thought. 'How many came today?' she thought as she pulled out her list. 'One, two, three, four, five, six. Six didn't come today, but fifty-four did.' She thought as she pulled it back down. She saw six cars pulled up and stopped as the guests came out. "They're here." She said as she got away from the wall and walked inside with the guests.

After the guests' greetings, the funeral started with the priest saying some few words about Nina and went into a tedious speech. Anna cried as she wiped her tears with a tissue. After the speech, he stepped aside and said that they could look at her from an open casket. The people lined up and one by one, they would glance at her and walked away in tears.

When it was Anna's turn, she glanced at her dead sister's face and gasped in horror. On Nina's face were burnt scars from the fire and several shot wounds on her neck and one close to her right eye as her blonde hair was burnt to crisp. She sobbed and cried as she walked away from the gruesome sight. She sat on the chair sobbing as her makeup began to fall down.

Everyone looked at the broken Anna as some went over to comfort her. After that, they went outside as the men carried the beautiful bronze casket by the handles. They stopped at an open grave as the men put it on it. People piled many beautiful flowers on top of the casket as Anna put an Isis on it. They all sat as the priest gave a few last words before they put the casket inside the grave with a guy playing the bagpipes on the sad day.

Anna settled a funeral party at their old mansion they know as home. It was held in a big living that had paintings, vases, and figurines. Anna sat in an old tan lounge chair as she watched the guests stuffed their faces or talking something excited. 'They never knew how heartbreaking it is.' She thought as she lowered her head.

She thought long and hard until she came up a plan. 'I need space.' She thought to herself as she stood up, walked across the room, and went upstairs. She was in a long hallway that got so many doors. She looked at each door until she found an old white door. She opened the door and saw her sister's old room. The room had a mirror-drawer, a small bed, and an old TV set. She walked around as she looked at drawer and found twenty copies of gun magazines.

'I can't believe how long it's been since I've been here.' She looked and saw an old gun calendar. 'That long, huh?' she thought as she saw the date on the calendar. She continued to look around until she saw something that caught her eye. She saw an old, tall bookcase that had many books about guns. It looks normal, but to Anna something is strange. 'What is this feeling I get from looking at that old bookcase?' she thought to herself as she stared at it.

She walked to it closer and examined it. 'It looks like a normal bookcase.' She thought. She felt something soft and looked down to see dust bunnies by her feet. She felt disgusted as she lifted her hands up. "This is just great! These heels cost me four-hundred and went down the toilet because of this!" she exclaimed angry. "I bet there are hundreds of them under this bookcase!" she said as she went into pushing it aside.

As she fully pushed it aside, she looked in front of her and stood there in shock. In front of her was a tall, wide, black safe that look like it held a tank in. 'What is this?' she thought. "Hey, Anna, Hwoarang wasted the cheese dip when he poured it all over Jin's hair and-. Oh my." Paul said as he entered in and stood there shocked at the doorway. Next thing you know, Loud-mouth Paul came running out telling everyone what he saw and brought them in her gawking at the huge thing.

They all stood there staring at the thing until Law asked, "What is that thing?" Paul chuckled as he came close to it. "It's a safe, moron. This thing look like it could take a jet!" he said as he pointed. "It's like Al Capone's safe, but nothing's in it." Julia said. "Like heck, there is. I bet there's millions of dollars inside." Hwoarang said. They nodded as Marduk shouted out, "Let's see!"

They rushed past Anna, who still in shock, and tried to pry the door away from the safe. "This thing can't open!" Lei shouted to Paul, who was pulling the long, silver handle. "Keep opening!" he shouted back. They all tried, but failed. They were all tired as they lay on the floor. "Dang that safe!" Jin yelled at it. "Curse you!" All the men said.

Anna stopped staring and started to walk towards it. "What is she doing?" King asked as she walked past them. She stopped in front and saw a print scanner in front of her. She picked up her scanner and pressed it again the other scanner. The scanner flashed blue as she pulled it away. "Welcome Nina." The scanner said as the machinery began to make the door slowly open to reveal darkness.

The others looked inside and saw nothing. "What! Nothing!" Kazuya shouted. This caused them talking in the group. "You fool. It's not what the outside counts, it's the inside that counts." Anna said as she went inside the darkness with the following fighters.
