'' Hey guys where's Anna? '' Ariel asked Sven and Olaf as the boys sat at their usual table with their tray. Their strawberry blonde haired girl wasn't here yet.
'' Didn't see her since yesterday. '' Sven shook his head.
'' I saw her in Math this morning, she came in late. '' Olaf said.
'' Strange. ''
'' I thought you two shared fifth period. '' Eric told his girlfriend.
'' Yes but she disappeared as soon as the bell rang. '' Just as Ariel finished her sentence, the topic of their conversation appeared.
'' Hello friends! '' Anna sang sitting next to Olaf with a brigh smile on her face, though it was forced. '' How are you guys doing? '' she asked, trying to sound happy.
'' Good. '' Sven answered before adding '' Just that we never know where you are. Where have you been? ''
'' Hanging around with Snow and Aurora. '' She replied simply, laying her elbows on the table and cupped her face in her hands.
'' You hang out with the them now? ''
'' It's not like I never did before, I mean we practice everyday with the squad. ''
'' Why are your eyes red? '' Eric asked curiously .
Anna shifted in her seat nervously and shrugged. She'll have to do something about that. If she keeps walking around with red eyes, they will be suspiscious.
'' I guess I didn't have a lot of sleep. ''
'' Your eyes weren't red during fifth period. '' Ariel frowned.
Anna was thinking about what she could say, however before she could speak a word, a sneering voice beats her to it.
''Aw it's the poor orphan. '' Hans smirked.
'' Who are you calling an orphan Hans? '' Anna raised a brow at him.
He snickered. '' I'd say your little friend over there. '' Hans nodded at Sven '' but then again, I could say the same about you now that you have no parents anymore. ''
'' I'm not an orphan! ''
'' Leave her alone. '' Olaf groaned while Anna clenched her jaw and glared at him.
'' Why poor thing? Too miserable to speak for herself? '' He laughed mockingly '' Did your parents take your voice with them too? '' the look on his face made Anna want to vomit.
'' You're such a jerk, what the hell is fucking wrong with you? '' Sven gritted his teeth but Hans promptly ignored him as he continued to look at Anna who was silently fuming.
'' You look like a helpless wounded puppy, Elsa said that since your parents died, you've been a dead weight on her shoulders.
He is lying, Elsa would never say that. Anna tried to convince herself but the voices in her head were so confusing.
Of course she would! You're a burden to her.
'' Don't listen to him Anna. '' Ariel told her friend when she saw that Anna wasn't going to respond.
'' Instead of your parents, it's you who should have died.'' Hans added axpecting a reaction from the girl but there she was sitting still '' Hey, I'm talking to you little brat! '' He snarled, grabbing her wrist.
''Ow '' Anna winced when his hand wrapped around her bruised wrist but before she could pull away, Olaf came to her help and forcefully pushed him away. Hans stumbled backward and knocked a trashcan over, covering himself in a smelly mess.
As the students 'Ooed', Hans stood up but ended up slipping on a peel of banana. Everyone in the food court started to laugh and the boy was so humiliated that with another successful attempt, he ran away as fast as possible.
'' That was quite a show. '' Eric said, bursting into another fit of laughter. Everyone was laughing so hard, everyone except Anna.
The girl suddenly stood up and walked out of the food court only to bump into the last person she wished to see.
'' Ah Anna, I was actually looking for you. '' Elsa snapped angrilly and shoved a paper in the girl's face '' what is that Anna? ''
Anna frowned when she saw the note from the principal and shrugged, playing the ignorant. '' A paper. ''
'' I was called by your principal and he told me that you've been skipping classes. ''
'' So? '' Anna glared at her.
Elsa scoffed.
'' Where have you been monday in the afternoon? Or wednesday before your classes ended and what about this morning? Kai dropped you in time, why were you late? Oh and by the way, don't think that I don't know about last night, what were you thinking?! ''
Being assaulted with questions only got Anna worked up even more than she already was, so she snapped back. '' None of your business. ''
'' It is my business because I am your legal guardian now?''
'' Well, you don't act like one. ''
'' What would people say, I have a reputation Anna. ''
'' Then it's your problem, not mine. '' The girl huffed, trying to walk past Elsa but the blonde caught her by the back of her top and pulled her back.
'' Anna! ''
'' What!? '' Anna groaned, spining around to face her again.
'' Saturday, we're going to visit the orpbanage together. Don't forget about it. ''
'' No. ''
'' Yes you're coming. ''
'' And why do you suddenly need your lame sister? ''
'' I don't. '' Elsa replied sharply, not wanting her sister to get too high on her horses. '' But it was our mother's charitable foundation, so you have to be there as well. ''
'' No I don't. ''
'' You'll be there and that's final. ''
'' Whatever. '' She rolled her eyes and walked away, also pushing another boy out of her way. She was so pissed that she didn't care less what poeple thought about her. Who does Elsa think she is to patronize her around and give orders like she was some puppy.
When she needed Elsa, where was she?
Nowhere to be seen...
Elsa lets out a loud and angry sigh as she grew frustrated with her sister's behavior. Something wasn't rounding round in Anna's head. Maybe the loss of their parents affected her more than she thought. Still, it wasn't a reason to act out and... were her eyes red again?
What is wrong with you now? Elsa wondered.
The next day, Anna took an overnight bag and packed some clothes for her 'sleepover' at Snow's house, so she could put it in her car when she arrives at school. She was still pissed at Hans and Elsa and she was just eager to have some relief at the party tonight.
'' I hope you grabbed something nice to wear for tonight. '' Snow asked as Anna puts her bag in the trunk of her car with a grunt.
'' Of course and I even grabbed this. '' Anna smirked, unzipping her bag and opened it slightly for Snow to look in discretly.
Snow peeked in the bag and gasped when she saw the two magnum bottles of Jack Daniel with a bottle of grey goose.
'' Damn, no wonder why you had trouble carrying this. And I thought you were being over-dramatique when you said it was heavy. ''
'' You bet and I had to be careful not to make too much noises in the car. ''
'' And how did you get them? I know that even with a fake ID, you can't fool anyone. Don't get me wrong but you're such a tiny thing, you barely look twelve. ''
'' Thanks, duh '' Anna rolled her eyes '' I got them from my father's cabinet. He wasn't one to like alcohol but he kept his personal stock for the guests. He was more fond of italian wines anyway. ''
Snow grabbed one bottle of Jack and unscrewed the cap. Anna gasped, looking aroung to see if they were being watched.
'' Hey what the hell are you doing? ''
'' Just taking a sip before the day start. ''
'' No we shouldn't. ''
Snow ignored her and took a small sip. '' Here have some. ''
'' To tell the truth, I've never had one drop of alcohol before. '' Anna admitted, she felt so lame.
'' No way! Never? ''
'' No. ''
'' Well then,'' Snow handed the bottle to Anna '' why not starting with a nice bottle of Jack? '' she smirked.
'' What about the smell? '' Anna asked unsure. She didn't want to show up in class with the strong smell of alcohol.
Snow shook her head '' One sip won't make you smell silly. Unless you got it on your shirt. '' she chuckled.
Nodding, Anna grabbed the bottle and brought the tip to her lips, taking a good sip. Her eyes widened as the hot stinging sensation in her throat almost made her spill the liquid back out but she managed to swallow it. She shoved the bottle into Snow's hand who was now laughing.
'' Shit, that thing is disgusting! '' she coughed, her voice sounding hoarse.
'' You my dear, don't know what quality is but you'll get used to it eventually. '' Snow winked, putting the bottle back into its' place and closed her trunk.
'' I hope so. '' Anna said still panting and followed Snow towards the entrance of the school. When she saw Ariel at her locker, she waved at her.
'' Well, I'll see you later. ''
'' Wait. '' Snow stopped Anna and gave her a confused look '' Where are you going? ''
'' Ariel is waiting for me ''
The raven haired girl couldn't fight the urge to roll her eyes '' I thought you would skip this period and hang out with us. ''
'' I'd really like that but I'm not skipping Mr. Pabbie's class and I want to see my friends before the bell rings. ''
'' C'mon, you don't need them anymore. '' Snow said, annoyannce obvious in her voice '' You have us, we're your friends remember? ''
'' They're still my friends as well. '' Anna sighed.
'' But- ''
'' Snow please. '' Anna gave her a pleading look.
'' Alright. '' Snow grumbled with a huff. '' I'll let you go with the fish tail and I'll go look for Aurora. ''
'' Her name is Ariel '' Anna rolled her eyes. She doesn't understand why she dislikes Ariel so much. She never understood that.
'' Yeah whatever. ''
'' That's my line. '' She mumbled quietly as they splitted and she went to meet Ariel.
'' Anna. '' Her friend immediatly pulled her into a big hug as if they haven't seen each other for a month.
'' Ariel, shocking... can't breath '' Anna gasped, having difficult to breath. As much as she wished to return the hug, she couldn't because her arms were stuck by her sides.
'' Sorry '' Ariel apologized, pulling away '' I was just so worried when you walked away like that yesterday. ''
'' Yeah sorry for that '' Anna felt guilty that she had her best friends worried about her. The others were probably just as worried '' I just needed fresh air. ''
'' What Hans said was out of line, I could have beat him for that. Thanks Karma, the garbage got in the way. ''
'' Eric was actually right, that was quite a show '' Anna chuckled. Thinking about what happened to Hans yesterday was funny but it doesn't mean that what he said could be erased. It was still working in her head like a song stuck on repeat and it hurts.
'' Honestly Anna, I don't believe a word he said. ''
'' Well I don't know and it doesn't matter anyway. '' she shrugged.
'' You shoul- '' Ariel stopped mid-sentence when she saw someone coming from behind Anna '' Oh! ''
'' What? '' Anna frowned not understanding why she had stopped mid-sentence. When Ariel didn't reply, she followed her gaze and gasped wen she saw Olaf with a bruise on is face like the one he got the last time. But this one was larger and in a nasty shade of purple at the corner of his right eye and there was a cut on his lower lip.
'' Oh Olaf, what happened? '' Ariel asked conerned.
'' Huh? ''
'' The bruises. ''
'' Ah I bumped into a... pôle '' He replied hesitantly before nodding firmly '' Yeah that's it, a pôle '' he laughed.
'' You're a bad liar. '' Anna shook her head, brows furrowing as she cupped his right cheek.
'' Or it must has been a wicked pôle and he at least bumped into it twice. '' Ariel said matter of fact.
'' Don't lie Olaf, who did this? '' Anna asked tilting his head slightly '' Was it... '' She trailed off not wanting to say his name.
''Anna. '' he sighed
'' Did he hit you? Was it because of me? Because you took my defense? ''
'' Whoa! whoa! Wait, what are you guys talking about? '' Asked a very confused Ariel. She had no idea what or who they were talking about and obviously, Olaf didn't bump into a pôle. It was a silly excuse anywway.
'' It was not because of you, he just has something against me '' He tried to reassure Anna.
'' So it was Hans. '' she gritted her teeth angrilly.
'' Hans? '' Ariel gasped.
'' He'll pay. '' Anna hissed, stomping down the hallway looking for a certain chestnut haired boy with green eyes. She heard Olaf and Ariel calling after her but she didn't stop.
Fifteen of hunting later, still no Hans in sight.
'' Anna stop, I'm fine '' Olaf ran after her and grabbed her shoulder.
'' Well, I'm not. '' she replied, shrugging his hand off and continued her haunting in the third floor of the West wing, her two friends still in tow. Though, the massive building was so huge that they quickly got tired.
'' C'mon Anna, he's not even here. '' Olaf said once she's stopped to take a pause, she was strangely out of breath. Did she run that much?
'' Here drink this. '' Ariel handed her a bottle of water which she gladly accepted '' feel better? ''
'' No. '' Anna groaned, tossing her ponytail backward '' Where is that jerk? ''
'' For all that we know, not here. '' Olaf shrugged.
'' Okay let's go back before the bell rings. '' Ariel told Anna hooking her right arm under the girl's letft arm.
''Fine. '' She nodded more to Olaf's relief but it doesn't mean she would stop there. Hans has taken this too far. Insulting her was a thing but harming her friends physically was another story. And she was not okay with that. No way!
At lunch Eric took Ariel out of the campus, so Anna, Olaf and Sven decided to eat at the sushi bar around the campus again. Anna and Sven both wanted to stay with Olaf in case Hans would be tempted to hurt him again.
So the boys both ordered a menu while Anna had a bag of chips she grabbed from a vending machine with a can of coke.
'' Are you sure you don't want to grab a sandwich before we leave? '' Sven asked for what seems to be the third time '' You only had a bag of chips. ''
'' I'm good. '' She repeated, answering a text she received from Snow as they walk back to the campus.
'' Is it me or you lost some weights. '' Olaf asked curiously.
'' Did I? '' Anna asked sounding hopeful. Sven looked at her up and down before tilting his head.
'' Looks like it. '' He nodded in agreement with the boy.
'' So I guess it's okay if I grab a bar of chocolate from the vending machine at school. ''
'' What about real food? '' Sven suggested '' You'll get sick with all that junk food in your system. ''
Anna rolled her eyes '' You guys sound like old ladies '' she laughed, slipping her phone back into the pocket of her varisty jacket but her laught abruptly died when she looked up. Hans was in the parking lot with Elsa by her car. He was apparently carrying something for her.
Sven bumped into her back not expecting her to stop.
'' Hey! What are you- '' Before his sentence was complete, Anna dropped her backpack and darted at full speed towards where Elsa and Hans were before she charged into the boy.
'' Anna! '' Elsa gasped when Hans was forcefully shoved backwards. He winced as his back hits her car.
'' What the fu- Arggh! '' Anna cuts Hans off with a powerful blow in the jaw. The anger she felt this morning when she saw Olaf's bruised face came back at once. Just thinking about it made her blood boiled.
'' Take it, you piece of shit! '' She growled. Hans cried in pain and clutched his nose.
'' Anna stop that! '' Elsa went to grab her sister but Anna jumped back at Hans on the pavement, craddling his waist with her legs and rammed her fists in his face repeatedly until she felt herself being picked up completely by Elsa.
Wrong move. Anna kicked her legs and she hits Hans in the face...Again. The poor boy rolled over, spitting blood. Damn, she was good.
'' Enough Anna! '' Elsa kept her arms firmly around her little sister as Sven and Olaf finally arrived.
'' Let me go! '' Anna squirmed in Elsa's arms, kicking her legs.
'' What is wrong with you? Are you insane? '' Elsa scolded.
'' Said the girl who is hanging around with that bully! '' Anna snapped back at her sister, struggling to free herself from her strong grip. She was so light that Elsa easily scooped her off the ground.
'' You're making a scene, stop making a fool of yourself and fix you. I don't want people to think that I have a crazy psychopath as a sister. ''
'' Me? A psychopath? '' Anna scoffed '' Are you fucking serious? ''
'' Anna calm down. '' Olaf placed a hand on her shoulder.
'' NO! '' She shook her head furiously '' That bastard had no right to take it out on you! ''
'' And by doing what you're doing now, it's making you a bully too! '' He reminds her.
The girl glared at him, fire burninng in her eyes.
'' Anna you told me once that you can't fix violence with violence? You're doing exactly what he did to Olaf. '' Sven tried to reason her.
'' He deserved every punch thrown at him! ''
'' Maybe but don't turn into him or he'll win. Don't give him that satisfaction Anna, you're better than that. ''
'' Am I? Maybe I'm really just a psychopath. '' Anna roughtly shoved Elsa's hands off her waist and grabbed her bag which Olaf had picked up when she dropped it earlier.
'' Where are you going? '' Olaf asked concerned seeing her walking away.
'' Where that jerk isn't breathing the same air as me. ''
'' Anna '' The boy sighed but the girl shook her head and made her way back into the building of their school.
Hours later at her penthouse, Elsa was still working on some paperworks for the company. It was not anything difficult, business holds no secret for her because her father taugh her everything she needed to learn. He had to make sure the future of his company will be in goood hands once he is gone and apparently he did a great job with Elsa. However she couldn't deny the fact that it was tiring. But the paperworks were the last of her concern because soon her phone rang on her desk.
She glanced at the clock on her wall and wondered who would call her at eleven thirty. At the fouth ring, she sighed and answered.
'' Hello? ''
'' Elsa thanks God, it's Kristoff. ''
'' Kristoff do you know what's time is it? '' she asked annoyed.
'' Yes I kno- ''
'' And why is the music so loud? ''
'' I'm at Adam's party and guess who I found completly wasted? ''
'' Just spill it already. ''
'' Anna. ''
A gasp was heard from the other side of the line and then a pause... almost twenty seconds later, Elsa said it a low and dangerous voice that almost made Kristoff feel slightly bad for a certain strawberry blonde haired girl for calling Elsa in the first place.
'' She is dead. ''
The line ended with a sharp bip.
Another cliffhanger. My bad, Anna is really dead. How will she react to her big sister's wrath and how will Elsa deal with the girl? Well only one way to find out and it's in the next chapter.
Until next time. Peace lovely readers.
