CHAPTER 17
Elsa was very nervous about their plan. How could that even be a plan? It was too forward to be called a plan but she couldn't think of anything else.
"So, first let's observe Hans," Kristoff whispered. The three of them were at their usual seats in the cafeteria. "If he looks at either one of you or stare or anything we'll execute the plan."
"Kristoff, isn't that a little awkward? What if he just glanced at us out of, you know, curiosity, or was just glancing around?"
Anna held her sister's hand and said, "Elsa, he glared at me yesterday and like you said he was grinning like he knew something. We're going to find that out now."
It was after ten minutes had passed when Hans looked at their way. Kristoff was the only one facing his way, so he decided to execute the plan and proceeded to Hans' table.
"What's the matter, reindeer boy?" Hans drawled when Kristoff came up to him.
"Ha, aren't you a kid, sideburns? I need to talk you man-to-man," Kristoff retorted.
Hans just glared at his friends who had been cheering for a fight to shut them up before standing up and moving to an empty table to talk with Kristoff.
"What's your problem?" Hans asked irritatedly.
"What was up with the paper plane?"
"What paper plane are you talking about, you moron?" Hans looked confused.
"I saw you yesterday. You were smiling wickedly when you were looking at Anna."
"Tsk, tsk. You're barking at the wrong tree, reindeer boy. Why would I do that to Anna—the sister of my darling Elsa? And I wasn't smiling wickedly yesterday, to be honest. I was giving my all to charm Elsa with my smile." Then Hans laughed. He said he was smiling wickedly? For god's sake it was his best smile and here was Kristoff saying his smile is wicked.
Kristoff was confused as well. Hans started to leave the table but Kristoff held on to his arm. "If you ever do anything funny to Anna, consider your sideburns gone."
Hans just shoved him and continued to walk to his friends.
Kristoff was very confused. Nothing seemed to fit Hans as being guilty and he just made a fool of himself spouting nonsense to Hans. 'What the heck? Sideburns? Really? That's all you can do Kristoff?'
Dejected, he went straight to the two and smiled weakly.
"So what happened? Wasn't that a little too fast?" Elsa said.
"Actually, I got nothing," Kristoff said as he looked apologetic.
"What do you mean nothing?" the siblings said in unison.
"Um, well, he called me reindeer boy—I mean, it wasn't him who hit you with that plane Anna. He said it was childish and Elsa, he wasn't smiling wickedly yesterday, he said he was actually trying to charm you."
"What."
Anna flailed her hands angrily as she talked. "So you're telling me none of our suspicions were correct? And he's still in love with my sister and is still trying to woo her?"
Kristoff just nodded, afraid to say anything that will make Anna angrier.
Elsa then realized the problem at hand. They still didn't know who was the one who threw the paper plane. "Anna, calm down. We have a bigger problem. Let's just leave Hans to his antics."
But Anna wasn't going to let this go. "Are you telling me to just let that guy flirt with my girlfriend, huh, Elsa?"
Elsa blushed at the possessiveness of her sister. She liked to see this side of her often but that would mean making Anna jealous. She couldn't have her sister hurting like that so she let it pass.
"Elsa, I'm talking to you," Anna said seriously.
"Don't be silly, Anna. Your girlfriend is head over heels for you, y'know," Elsa said, winking at her sister.
Now it was Anna's turn to blush.
Kristoff cleared his throat loudly. "Guys, I see you're having fun but we really need to focus on the problem." He was smiling towards the two though. 'They're just too cute,' he thought.
It had been days since the paper plane event and although nothing really happened after that, Elsa and Anna have been very careful with their actions. They only held hands and kissed each other's cheeks for goodbye.
Anna was finally thinking that maybe it had been just some prank until she found another paper plane inside her locker.
MEET ME AT THE ROOFTOP AFTER CLASS ALONE OR I'LL SPREAD THIS.
Anna's hands shook as she looked at the pictures printed on the paper. It was her and Elsa kissing during their trip outside of town. Ana stumbled to the bathroom and locked herself in a stall. She couldn't breathe; it was as if something really heavy was pressed against her chest and she needed to take huge intakes of air in order to stop herself from fainting. She needed Elsa. She wanted to look for her but when she saw her hands still holding the paper plane, she knew she couldn't tell Elsa. It would only make it worse.
She could tell Kristoff, at least. With shaky fingers she typed a message that will be sent at exactly four o'clock. Then she ran back to her locker and grabbed her things, shoving the pictures on the very bottom of her bag, fixed herself and went to her class.
Anna's stomach started to churn when the bell signalling the end of classes rang. What did the person want from her? Why was he/she doing this?
Then she saw Kristoff walking towards her. She knew that in a few minutes the timed message will be sent and Kristoff would insist on going with her but she couldn't let him know about it yet so she decided to turn the opposite directiona dn blend in with the crowd of students walking the hallway.
Every step on the stairs to rooftop felt so heavy but she braced herself as she opened the door to the rooftop.
"Hello."
It was Sven.
Anna then heard the door slam close behind her and whipped around. There were three men by the door whom she recognized as Sven's lackeys. They were blocking the only exit and Anna felt a surge of terror.
"W-what do you need, Sven? Why are you doing this?' She couldn't hide the anger in her voice. She was thankful her voice didn't tremble.
Sven laughed and walked towards her, cupping her chin. "That isn't the right way to talk to me, Anna."
Anna flinched backwards when Sven ran his thumb across her. "Stop screwing around! What's the matter with you?"
'Aren't you a bitch? What's the matter with me? Hah! I should be asking you that question, Anna! You turned me down for this sick fetish of yours?'
Anna faltered, her heart beating rapidly in fear and shame at Sven's words. She knew it was sick. She knew it wasn't right but she loved Elsa, not Sven. But how could she make him understand that?
Sven saw the fear in her eyes and knew he had won. He looked at his friends and signaled something.
Suddenly, Anna's wrists were grabbed firmly from can't move, she was out of trance in instant and saw the two boys holding her wrists firmly. She wanted to scream but her throat wasn't' working; she was too terrified. Dark thoughts swirled in her mind like rape and murder. She tried to move but it was useless.
Sven leaned close to her face. "If you'll be a good girl, I won't spread this rotten secret of yours and your famous sister."
Anna glared at him. "What do you want, Sven?"
"I want you of course." Then he kissed Anna on the lips and pushed his tongue inside her mouth.
But Anna bit his tongue and he pulled away instantly, cursing, and Anna felt a harsh slap on her cheek. It was the second time he had hit her and she knew it wouldn't be the last if she didn't get out of here. She wanted to cry because her cheek hurt so bad but she couldn't. She shouldn't show any more weakness.
"You bitch! You know I've been considering not hurting you, but you're making it difficult." He made another signal to his friends and Anna was suddenly pushed to lay down on the floor, her limbs held down by them.
"Now, Anna , behave and be a good girl. You have to do everything I say," Sven said, hands working to unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants.
Anna then finally let out a scream. She couldn't let him do this. She knew she couldn't fight him but she still had her voice. She would scream her lungs out if needed.
"Help! Help! Somebody help me! Please! They're going to—"
The boys panicked and immediately gagged Anna with a handkerchief, and even though she did her best to avoid it, she was helpless.
