Ah! Sorry this is a tad late! (not really) But my poor sweet Beta, Ice, fell sick and I didn't want to over work my poor friend.
Any mistakes I take on myself (I was left unsupervised)
Enjoy!
"Okay so let me see if I understand this," Anna said as they entered into the clearing of the woods near the ruins. It was the weekend and things were relatively normal from the banshee incident.
The only thing, or rather, things that happened at school and after, were relatively normal things. Well, normal for them anyway. There was a food fight between the nerds and geeks. Anna guesses that's due to neither faction being able to punch worth a damn.
She admits she joined in on it; she was an honorary nerd after all. The whole school joined in actually. Anna isn't sure how or why it started, all she knew was that mystery meat pelted her face and it was war.
After that there was the incident in a chemistry lab room where the school had to be evacuated due to a very bad reaction a student, Eugene, made by mixing chemicals all willy-nilly.
Anna gave him a very stern talking to, but after bought him an ice cream for at least trying to do what the teacher said.
Eugene then made them all go to the ruins the day after, because school was still closed. There they looked around at all the memories of the graffitied walls. Eugene had spotted something near a last standing column structure and once he pulled it out the column toppled into one of the walls. Eric was the first to speak, a simple, "run" and they scattered.
The last thing to happen, a Friday, was a little uncharacteristic for two of the nerd squad. Eric and Ariel decided to have a date and skip school. They had gone to the amusement park and had run into the Chem teacher. She claimed she wanted to be away from Eugene. It hurt his feelings.
A typical first week for every semester.
"You want me to teach you how to shoot, so you can, what? Impress Rapunzel?" Anna asked as she sat the duffle bag down that contained her hunter rifle and her air gun. The air gun looked like a toy version of the hunting rifle but it could still kill a bird, maybe a rabbit if you used it right.
"It's a guy thing, shut up," he grumbles and she sighs. Eric and Ariel just chuckle and find a spot to throw their picnic blanket. Ever since those two started dating they found any opportunity to have a couple's moment while Anna and Eugene made asses of themselves.
Anna shrugged and took out some bottles and a few boards with bull's-eyes on them out the bag. She hums as she sets everything up and thanks the heavens there wasn't much of a breeze today.
"Alright so the first thing you need to know is how to check that everything works," Anna starts and shows the boy to check his gun and explains each part to him. It takes about 15 minutes of her explaining things to him before he gets bored and just demands her to show him how to aim and shoot stuff.
He, of course, misses the targets by miles and Anna is so glad her father showed her these things at a young age. Sure, she hasn't hunted anything since that first and last deer, but she still liked keeping her skills sharp. What else was she to do when grounded?
"Eugene, try to not hold your breath, it tends to make you shake, breath out slowly and shoot," Anna tries and he manages to hit the paper this time just not near a ring, but she's proud of him.
"Come eat and drink something you two, you've been at it for like 3 hours," Eric calls and Ariel is busy pouring them some drinks. Anna smiles and gets up to go join the couple. Eugene isn't too far behind and they all enjoy some sandwiches together.
It was all pleasant till they heard a deafening roar. It sounded like a bull, yet kind of human. The ground shook a little and birds shrieked as they flew away from the direction it were coming from. The group look to one another before gulping.
Out of the woods came a massive creature that looked half human and half bull. It was huffing, making the ring in its nose move slightly as its ears twitched along with its tail. One horn was broken off at the middle and it looked to have broken out of some chains.
"That...that's a m...mi...Minotaur," Anna breaths and she can see the other start to get ready to run away. Here they thought they would be safe in daylight. How naive they were.
It watched them with its beady eyes before letting out a loud snort as it shook its head. It let out another loud roar like bleat before storming them. They screamed and scattered. Anna looked back briefly and saw it slide on the grass as it tried to turn its massive body.
"It can't turn worth shit!" She called out in hopes of giving her friends an idea of how to avoid it. The creature turned to Anna and stampeded to her. She curses and waits till it's just about reached her before taking a sharp turn. She slips herself but it gives her enough time to put distance between her and that thing.
It lets out another angry bleat before dropping onto its hands. Its legs kick at the ground before it launches itself to the redhead. Anna yelps and manages to twirl away from it in time.
"Why the fuck is it just going for me?" She yells as she notices that the other three were watching from the side. Her foot slips and she covers her face as she screams when the thing is practically on top of her.
"Get back!" Comes a distant yell before the beast above Anna jerks and stands. It staggers back as its hand presses to its neck before it sways a little and drops to the ground.
Anna pants as she scrambles to her feet and moves away from the beast as much as her shaking legs let her. She manages to press against someone and looks behind herself to see none other than Elsa.
Of course, it was her.
There was this brief moment, so brief everyone around them would definitely miss it, but to them it was a long time, where Anna saw Elsa's nose twitch. The redhead could feel her grip her shoulders, pulling her closer to her chest almost protectively.
Anna saw something in her eyes. She's not sure if it was concern, relieve or something different, but it felt nice. Nice that it wasn't hatred or anger. Anna wanted to blush. She wanted to turn around and hug the taller girl, thank her for saving her once more.
Foolish wishes from a girl with a stupid crush.
"How the fuck do you always manage to end up in trouble?" She growls and Anna glares at her.
It could never be so simple for them. Elsa clearly hated her, despite things that had transpired in that parking lot.
"Hey, this time it came looking for us! We were just minding our own business this time," she defends and Elsa rolls her eyes. She holds up her walkie-talkie and sighs.
"Ice Queen to Reindeer King, come in Reindeer King, over," she says into the device.
"I hear you loud and clear Ice Queen, you stop the Minotaur?" Kristoff said over the device.
"Yes, you can come collect it, this is the last time I do your job, Ice Queen over and out," Elsa scolds and places the device away.
"Fucking hell, Kristoff is in on this too?" Eugene asks exasperated.
"He's a trapper," Elsa simply says as she walks to the slumbering beast. Anna watches as the blonde hunches down by its legs and picks up the broken chain. Elsa hums and looks to the beast's head before sighing.
"Was it calling to you that strongly?" She whispers to herself as she runs a hand through the fur on its back.
"Was what calling to it?" Anna asks as she tilts her head.
"Jesus fucking Christ, why are you still here?" Elsa startles as she jumps up and moves back a few steps. Her eyes look almost wild as that dark ring appears again. Anna is starting to think that's not normal.
"We were here first," Anna sniffs and folds her arms over her chest. Elsa groans and rubs her hands over her face.
"You nerds give me such a headache," she sighs.
"Glad to be of service," Anna sniffs and Elsa hangs her head with another sigh as she turns around.
"I don't have the energy for this today; it was supposed to be my off day, but no. Elsa needs to help locate an escaped Minotaur and stop it before it reaches the town," Elsa rambles to herself as she runs a hand through her hair.
"Talking in third person now? Weirdo," Anna grunts and Elsa's shoulders stiffen. The shorter girl can hear a soft growl come from the taller one as her hands clenched into fists.
A wave of fear did shoot through Anna. Fear that Elsa might just hurt her, but something told her that the taller girl couldn't hurt her if she tried. Anna hated feeling so useless and in some level submissive.
"Oh no, she's getting angry," Anna says in mock fear. She smiles to her friends and they just stare at her with wide eyes, eyebrows raised.
Elsa lets out a loud and defeated sigh before turning back to them. She looked tired and Anna felt somewhat bad.
"Please just...just go," she says and Anna narrows her eyes at the girl. Eugene tugs at her arm and she turns to look at him.
"Come on, Anna, let's just go okay? You two can go back to bickering on Monday," he says and Anna nods after thinking about it. They collect their things and leave in the truck.
Anna almost curls up into herself as she leans against the door of the front seat of the truck. She didn't want to admit it or show the others, but that monster really scared her.
It took everything inside her to not shake and start to cry. Yes the werewolf thing was scary, yes the banshee was scary, but this thing...it wasn't purely murder it had in its eyes.
Anna isn't sure what she saw, but she's almost 80 percent certain it wasn't going to kill her.
If she closes her eyes she could see its black beady eyes and feel its hot breath on her face, her skin crawled at the drool that had dripped onto her chest.
Anna shivers and closes her jacket around her as she curls up more. She felt like it's eyes were actually roaming over her as it stood over her like a dog, for lack of a better description. She frowns and her mind actually drifts to when Elsa had pinned her to the hood of the Jeep.
Anna's eyes widen as her body heats up at the thought, but then the Minotaur was above her and...Oh...oh fucking hell. Anna can feel her cheeks flush. It couldn't be could it? That thing wasn't looking at her with...those kinds of, fucking Christ on a cracker! That's disgusting! That's...hmm...well...flattering in a way, Anna supposes.
They end up driving past Kristoff who was driving a heavy-duty looking van. He briefly gives them a confused look as they cross paths.
Next chapter is in Elsa's POV, who is excited?! Note that Elsa swears a hell of a lot more...and somethings get answered next chapter, but it will probably raise more questions...
I hope ya'll liked this!
Reviews makes me and Ice very happy!
I'll see ya'll soon!
