Calm Before the Storm
Elsa was half listening to her Religious Studies teacher, Professor Frollo, give another long and boring lecture about how the gypsies were the devils of Paris in the 1480's, again. Claiming that they spread unholy witchcraft throughout 15th century France.
"The Gypsies lived outside the normal order. Their ways inflamed the people's lowest instincts, such as lust and desire." Frollo said, his tone with disgust.
As Elsa continued to half listen through the old grayed man's rants she couldn't help but feel that he was a selfish hypocrite, considering that he almost got fired for 'supposedly' making unwanted gestures towards one of the other students. A young woman who used to be in the same class named Esmerelda.
She and Elsa used to talk a bit during lunch, they were pretty good friends and Elsa had to admit that she found her attractive. She used to tell Elsa how Professor Frollo would ask her "to be his", he would touch her inappropriately and had even threatened her a few times with fire if she told another soul. But with just a little persuasion from Elsa, Es' gained the courage to drag Frollo (metaphorically of course) to the school board.
But, as usual, Frollo was able to worm his way out of it with smooth talking, claiming that Esmeralda misinterpreted and that he was asking her to be his assistant, the touches were 'accidental' movements of the hands and that the fire threats were harmless jokes he thought she would get. Furthermore he had the gall to say that she seduced him, noting how she dressed. PREVERT! The board was, mostly, convinced but Frollo was suspended from teaching at North Mountain University for a month and Esmerelda transferred to another college. Good for her, Elsa thought.
Finally Elsa snapped out of her daze as the bell rang.
"Alright class dismissed!" Frollo said coldly as all the students, Elsa included got out of their seats and began walking out of the classroom.
On her way out Elsa couldn't help but notice a glare she was getting from Frollo. The man had always hated her, sensed there was something freakish and unnatural about Elsa. I guess he is kind of right though, Elsa thinks. But Elsa just shoots him a glare back regardless. Damn, she couldn't help but imagine what that psychopath would do if he found out about her powers, he would try to strike her on the spot. Though a part of Elsa wished that he would, so she could have a valid excuse to shoot him with an ice blast.
After exiting the room, avoiding being touched by strangers, and walking down two levels of stairs, Elsa made it to her favorite place in the whole building. The counselor's office. But as she moved to open the door Elsa's smile fell as she saw a taller, platinum blonde man leave the room. He shrugged inside his blue jacket and looked at Elsa with longing eyes, while Elsa looked at him with a scowl.
"Oh hey Elsa. Don't tell me. You were just dying to see me."
"I am here for Ms. Jolie, not you Jack."
Jack Frost was one of Elsa's tormentors after she left Weselton. They met when they were twelve, and he used to tease her everyday about her quietness. The, once Elsa hit puberty he, along with half the people who used to bully her, went from picking on her to trying to ask her out. But the truth was, Elsa wouldn't care for any of the boys even if they hadn't picked on her. Men just werent her thing.
"Alright. But I know you want me." Jack teased before flirashisly swiping Elsa's bangs and walking away like a champ.
What a cocky douche bag. Elsa thought before entering the counselor's office. She entered the counselor's office and found the door labeled "M. Jolie." Elsa gives a small smile as she opens the door and leans her head inside. Sitting at the desk is an older woman with defined cheekbones and medium brown hair. She wore a black dress and, at the moment, was feeding a crow some crackers as it rested on her shoulder.
"There there Daival." The woman said to the bird. "Make sure you eat all your..." The woman turns around and see's Elsa looking at them, half way inside the door. The woman lets out a large smile upon seeing the white haired woman.
"Ah Elsa. Good to see you dear." The woman says.
"Hello Ms. Jolie." Elsa says fully stepping into the room.
"Oh dear please. I told you, call me Maleficent." Maleficent told Elsa. She really didn't like it when a student that visits her so often as Elsa is so formal. If she had it her way everyone on the campus would just call her Mal and be done with it.
"If this is a bad time I can comeback." Elsa said noticing Daival on her shoulder.
"Oh no dear, Daival was done eating anyways." Maleficent then nods to the bird, signalling Daival to fly off Maleficent's shoulder, across the room and land on the pole next to Elsa. Who just stares at the bird in amazement.
"This birds intelligence never ceases to amaze me." Elsa thought.
"Come sit."
Elsa moves closer and takes a seat in front of the brunette. Maleficent was her personal counselor at North Mountain. Aside from Joan she was the only person that Elsa felt comfortable with, and she needed help.
"Do Elsa. WHat brings you here today?" Maleficent asks the woman in front of her.
"Well, uh. I ran into some people from my post the other day." ELsa said nervously.
"Old friends perhaps?"
"Old bullies." Elsa corrects.
"I see. So what happened when you ran into these old bullies?"
And so Elsa began telling the woman in front of her about everything that happened over the last week, spilling her emotions to the young woman. "Well, I ran into one of them at my work, he was there ordering a sandwich and I guess he realized who I was because he came back the next day. He said that he was sorry about the way he treated me, and you now what, I would have felt sorry for him and believed his crap if he hadn't asked me out. You see he mentioned having a girlfriend last time he was there so I figure "this guys cheating on his girlfriend? He hasn't changed." am I right?" Maleficent nodded in agreement and waves her hand signalling Elsa to go on. "And so I tell him to meet me a hour after I got off work and I had my friend give him a note telling him that I saw through his bull crap. I felt pretty good about that. I mean I could have made him pay for all the times he abused and beat me as a kid, made me trip and fall, threw things at me, stole my homework, made me do his and his friends, but I decided to handle it maturely and responsibly." Maleficent was looking at her, like she was really into what Elsa was saying. "But the next day his sister, another tormentor, came and told me that she and her friend, once again another tormentor, gave him the idea to ask me out JUST TO DUMP ME!" At this Maleficent snapped her pen in her hand, she had previously told Elsa about how a man she loved once took advantage of her, and it really stung. "She continued to mock me about it, make fun of my dead beat mom. And you now what? I could have lived with all of that! I wouldn't be here right now if it wasnt for..." Elsa stopped herself, she honestly didn't know if she should tell Mal this.
"What is it Elsa? Why are you here then if not for them?" Maleficent says encouraging Elsa to speak again. She takes a deep breath and composes herself, not letting Mal notice the ice she was thawing it before speaking.
"You see, I went to a party the other night. It was my best friends boyfriend, I wanted to have a good time but...there was someone there. The 'other' friend I just mentioned." Elsa said, looking ashamed.
"You mean the one that collaborated with the sister?" Maleficent asked, Elsa nodded confirming her thought. "So what did you do then."
"Well she looked happy too see me, and I just walked away. Strange thing is, I was really pissed at first when I first say ehr but, after cooling down I started thinking about how she looked." Elsa admitted.
"And what do you mean by that?" Maleficent asked, twiddling with a new pen in her hand.
"Well she didn't look 'evil' like the other girl did when she came to me, actually she looked genuinely happy to see me. Maybe it was just my own hopes that at least ONE of them had actually grown up, but there is something else..." Elsa said, now really looking ashamed.
"What is it child. You can tell me." Maleficent said reaching over and grabbing Elsa's hand, but she pulled it away quickly, so Ms. Jolie wouldn't feel the cold.
"Well, after I cooled down and I wasn't so angry anymore, I looked up Anna. That was her name, Anna. On facebook and I saw some things that confused me. I saw a post that said that she had recently broken up with her boyfriend, the guy who asked me out, and was now with someone else. She said that she was glad because he was a jerk. But that defies what her friend had told me, right? She said that they were still dating and the post published a day earlier..." Elsa said, really confused.
Maleficent looked at Elsa, deep in thought, then after a few moments spoke. "Well Elsa. The way I see it is that there are three possibilities. One, is that she was unaware that they had broken up. Two, though she was unhappy in the relationship they still conspired to play this cruel joke on you."
Elsa's fist clenched. "And third option?" Elsa asked.
"Perhaps it was a lie. I have had many cases before where a bully will purposely tell their victim false information in hopes of making the victim, in this case you, lose trust in another person. Perhaps this other person wasn't involved and they had simply told yous he was to prevent you from interacting with this person." Maleficent explains.
"Well...I also looked at her photos' while I was there. And I noticed a few things that were off. Marcy, the sister-girl was named Marcy, showed me this picture of her and Anna to prove to me that they were still friends, I found that same picture on her page and it was a few years old. Also I noticed that Anna wasn't exactly smiling, I mean she was but it kind of looked...forced. Now I know that doesn't seem like much but most pictures after that have her without them. Like they were with her in almost every one but they stopped appearing little by little. Until finally she was completely alone. I decided to read her other posts. There was one that said that her friends left her. Right after the one that said her dad lost his job. It just seems like I heard one thing but the information I am seeing tells me something else."
"Well, perhaps you should confront this Anna and ask for her side of events." Maleficent suggested.
"Well there is another thing however...You know how I came to you before about Elphaba?"
"Yes?"
"Well, that's the other thing...You see after I cooled down and I started looking at her online photos, I started noticing how, attractive she was. Her copper hair tied in cute braids, her adorable freckles, her teal eyes her smile. Especially the...um, beach photos. I mean I still resent this girl but...now things are conflicting." Elsa admits, slumping onto her seat in shame. She felt no different from Jack now. She once hated this girl with all her heart, now she's hating her less now just because she finds her attractive? "NO! I will not be that! I will not let my lust clouded my judgement!" Elsa thinks, snapping out of her daze.
"You know what? Forget that part. Looks don't matter. If I ever see her, and GOD FORBID I DO! I will never forgive her for what she did to me!" Elsa exclaims.
"But damn she's so hot. WHAT NO STOP THAT!" Elsa thinks to herself again as she walks out the door, stomping and ignoring Maleficent's please for her to stay. She slams the door behind her scaring Daival.
Meanwhile, at John Gordon High school...
Anna was sitting at her desk, biting on her eraser as she tries to answer the final question. She was in the middle of her chemistry final, wishing she could remember what happens when two atoms share electrons?
Hmmmm is it...
They become a molecule
They form a covalent bond
They form a polar covalent bond
Or
d) None of the above
?
Screw it i'm going with 'C'. I mean 'C' is usually the right answer, right?
Of course Anna could have concentrated better if she still wasn't thinking of Elsa. Elsa Snow, the girl that had been on her mind for about ten years and was now thinking of her even more so having seen her.
I could understand how Elsa woulnt be interested in seeing her after so many years, but Kristoff and his girlfriend, whose man escapes me, sorry, said they would talk to Elsa for me. I just wanna say 'something' to her. Just ONE little talk.
Anna thought.
DING! DING!
And that was the end of the Class. Thank god! Just as everybody else Anna got up with excitement and moved to place her final exam on the desk of Mr. Facilier. He gave Anna a sinister stare as she delivered her paper to his desk.
Man that guy is creepy. Like a voodoo doctor or something.
Anna continued to walk down the halls of the school to the front where Kristoff was supposed to pick her up. She was dying to ask him about the 'Elsa situation'. She continued to walk past the lockers, holding books in both her hands to her chest while staring at the ground. Completely lost in her thoughts.
She said to give Elsa time right? It has been a few days so she should be ready? Right?
As Anna continued to think to herself, she felt a pain in her shoulder. Causing her to get out a groan of pain and drop her books. After rubbing her ears Anna looked down and noticed that she had dropped her things she got on her knees and began picking her books up again. One to be met with a pair of white-glass colored shoes standing in front of her.
"Ahem. Aren't you gonna apologize?" A feminine voice says with a mocking tone.
Anna looks up and realizes who she had just bumped into. Cinderella Tremaine. Staring down at her with a evil, mischievous grin. Next to her were her step-sisters Anastasia and Drizella. They were part of her and Marcy's group when the former was still in high school. Of course until Anna's father didn't get re-elected into office for making public bashes against the idea of letting homosexual or transgender officers join the force. Her father had been asked in a public speech how he felt about the Pleakley case.
You see a man named Wendy Pleakley. Yes a MAN named Wendy. Had just been rejected from the Arendelle City Police Department. Thing was Mr. Pleakley had passed all his tests, even his physical (which was surprising because he looked really skinny and weak in the newspaper photos), and graduated from the academy. According to him the interview seemed to be going great but the chief/captain, who ever was interviewing him seemed to have a disgusted look on his face when he offhandedly mentioned that he had a husband. So he and his partner Jumba were suing the department over the pretense that Mr. Pleakley wasn't hired because of his sexual preference.
While this was still going on some reporter lady named DeVille asked how he feels about the situation. And Mayor Summers much not have been really paying attention because he flatly said "Well I think that it would be an embarrassment to the city should he have been hired." And before Mayor Summers could register what he had said, it was too late, everyone had heard and caught him on video. A few weeks later Frederik Summers lost the mayoral election to the current mayor Arthur.
So, since then Anna's dad was no longer in office, and Marcy kicked Anna out of her group. Since then the three girls have relentlessly picked on Anna. Stealing her homework, spreading rumors about her being a hermaphrodite, throwing pieces of their food at her, and...you guessed it, knocking into her on purpose. Marcy may have left the group after graduating, but Cindy continues to do her dirty work. Now the three evil "princesses" stand above Anna with wicked smiles.
"Well?" Cinderella snaps at Anna in a harsh tone.
Ok Anna, don't yell back...remember what happened last time. Just say sorry and maybe, just maybe they will let you walk away.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." Anna said, half-sorry.
Anna then moves to get up but Anastasia just shoves her back onto the ground. Her butt hurts as it hits the pavement. Anna new there was going to be a sore there later.
"I don't think that is good enough. Don't you agree Cindy?"
"I agree Drizzy. Ana get out your phone."
Anastasia grabs out her phone, sliding the screen and turning on the video. She hits the record button just in time to see Drizzy grabbing Anna by the braids in one hand and by the back of her neck with the other. Anna tries to get out, she struggles and hits the girl as much as she can but she just doesn't have the right leverage. Plus Drizzy was surprisingly strong. Cinderella sticks out her hard, glass colored shoe as Anna's face is forced down towards it. As much as Anna screams "No" and "Stop" the three girls just continue to laugh.
"Come on. Kiss it!" Cinderella exclaims.
"Yeah! We thought you wanted to kiss a girl. DYKE!"
Anna closes her eyes, Drizzy makes her pucker her lips by squeezing her cheeks as her lips get closer to the shoe. But before her lips touch it, she hears a breaking sound. Drizzy loosens her grip allowing Anna to raise her head and open her eyes. She see's Kristoff standing and staring at the girls looking angry. Next to him is Joan who is holding, and breaking Anastasia's cell phone in her hand.
"I think you three have done enough." Kristoff says slowly and harshly.
Ana looks at them in shock, and anger over her broken phone is also shocked, not even noticing Anna crawl away from them. While Cindy looks like she is gonna burst.
"Umm who do you think you are?" Cindy asks. But her face falls as Joan grabs her by the collar and pulls her in.
"I just broke a phone in half. Get out or i'll break your face and make you as ugly as your friends here. Got it!?" Joan tells the blonde girl, who just nods before Joan releases her. Anna see's them sprint down the hallway. Joan watches them run in amusement while Kristoff walks over and extends his hand to his cousin.
"Here feisty pants."
Anna grabs his hand and pulls herself up. But her face is anything but happy.
"I wasn't really feisty there. So what do you guys have about Elsa?"
"Um yes. Actually that is why we are glad you were able to meet with us today. You still have the twins address?" Kristoff asks.
"Um yes. Why?"
"Well, aside from your past history with each other Elsa also things that you were involved in a recent...event that has happened involving your dick ex-boyfriend and his bitch sister." Joan says.
"What kind of 'event'?" Anna asks.
"We'll explain in the car. Come on let's get moving."
Joan is about to follow her boyfriend and his cousin, but something caught her eyes. A certain red bearded man, wearing goat skin coat, watching her with disdain and motioning her to come closer.
Joan really didn't want to deal with the bastard right now, but she knew that if she didn't it would just bite her in the ass later.
"Uhh you know what. Kris you and Anna go talk to them. I am gonna try to warm Elsa up a bit." Joan says. Not exactly a lie, she can go talk to Elsa about meeting up with Anna a bit.
"Are you sure Joan?" Kristoff asks, not noticing the other man.
"Yeah, she is still a bit upset. I think that it would be better if I tried to reason with Elsa. Then after you tell me what really happened we can arrange for a civilized meeting." Joan explains.
"Sounds good to me. See ya." Anna says before running towards Kristoff car.
Kristoff turns to his girlfriend.
"Are you ok, youve been acting odd lately?"
"I'm fine. Go on we'll meet later." Joan says before giving him a kiss on the lips, before Kristoff walks away blushing. After he leaves Joans smalls drops and she walks across the hall to meet with her "friend."
"Did you feel the air last night? The daughter of winter MUST be here!" He says loudly.
"Are you sure. I mean there is such a thing as naturally occurring weather changes. I mean did you hear last year about that one hot week in the winter? I mean seriously the average temp was 100-"
But Joan is stopped by a hammer being pressed against her neck. Her mouth twitches but her eyes are filled with fire as they gaze into the red bearded mans angry ones.
"Do NOT toy with me wench! You have been neglecting your duties for far too long! First you spend ten years searching in Norway for her even though we TOLD YOU that she had moved away! Then you waste more of our time in Alaska! Colorado! I HAD TO DRAG YOU TOO THIS FORSAKEN CITY MYSELF! The daughter of winter is definitely here and YOU STILL CHOOSE TO MAKE EXCUSES!? I have half a mind to believe you're just stalling!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. But Joan looks at him unshaken. She removes the hammer from her neck and shoves it down before stepping closer towards him. Leaning into his face, standing on her tip-toes.
"And what is the other half of your mind thinking. Aye, Thunder?"
Thunder just squints his eyes at her wondering what Joan is gonna say.
"Because ten years ago what was on your mind was a three way. You, me, and that one Hilda chick."
Thunders eyes widen a bit.
"Oh that's right. It was supposed to be our secret should your dear wife find out. Now I suggest that unless you want your marriage to be in jeopardy, again, since you can't keep your dirty hammer in your pants then I suggest you get off my case and let me do my job. I will tell you if I find the half-giant here but until then get off my case!"
After Joan is done giving her rant, Thunder steps back slowly then turns around and walks away. Not a single word uttered. Joan sighs and thinks to herself.
Elsa we gotta get you under control.
Please review;)
