==The Next Day==

/Anne, Chase, Dylan, Aelita, and Jeremie were all sitting by the front gate, with their rifles. Aelita sighed, and shivered a little/

"Is it usually this cold outside?" asked Aelita

"I think it's nearly November... That means that Odd'll have Thanksgiving, to look forward to" said Dylan

/The group nodded, in agreement. Chase then shrugged/

"I noticed that there's a bunch of wild turkeys, outside of the fences... If we can get 3 or 4 of them, then we could actually have some turkey" said Chase

"I LOVE TURKEY!" said Anne

"Me too!" said Dylan

/Dylan and Anne, shared a laugh, as the group all rose an eyebrow. Suddenly, the group saw Clementine, running towards them. Clementine stopped in front of the group, and panted/

"Is something wrong, Clem?" asked Jeremie

"There's two people in the store! I don't know how they got in, but we've got them at gunpoint" said Clementine

/The group went wide eyed. Aelita and Jeremie, looked at Chase, Dylan, and Anne/

"We'll watch the gate. You all go inside" said Aelita

/Chase, Anne, and Dylan nodded. They then got out of their seats, and started running with Clementine, towards the store/

==5 Minutes Later==

/Anne, Clementine, Chase, and Dylan ran through the front doors, and noticed the group, standing in front of two people. They ran to the group, and looked at Christopher/

"What's happening?" asked Dylan

"Two people... A man and a woman. They said that they're looking for their daughter" said Christopher

/Anne nodded/

"I'll go talk to them, and see if we can help" said Anne

/Anne then started scooting her way through the group. She got to the front, and had a shocked look, when she saw the two people. The two people looked at Anne, and had expressions of extreme joy/

"ANNE!" said Eileen

"Anne! We've looked everywhere for you!" said Anne

==Anne's POV==

/I continued to have a wide eyed look, as I stared at the two adults standing in front of the group. Dylan walked next to me, and noticed my angry, and shocked, look./

"You..." I growled.

"Anne.. who are these people?" Dylan asked.

/I clenched my fists.../

"My parents..." I told him.

/The entire group had a shocked look, as my parents smiled at me, with happiness.../

"We were so worried about you! We've been looking for you since before this all started!" Eileen said.

/I frowned./

"Worried? For the first time in my life, you're Finally worried about my safety?!" I growled.

"Annie? What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see us?" James asked.

/I growled, with anger/

"Happy to see you?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" I yelled.

/I saw my father, frown/

"Anne Marshall! Don't swear at your parents!" he ordered. "And yes, we're happy. We care for you."

/I roared in anger as I lunged forward, but Chase and Dylan held me back... If only they'll just let go, then I'll... I'll show him what those bullies did to me!/

"You refuse to help me for years and you have the nerve to say THAT?!" I screamed before shoving Chase and Dylan off of me... I pulled them to my side, as my parents both rose an eyebrow.

"Who are they?" he asked.

"These are the ONLY people who cared enough to help me back then! They protected me from the bullies! But then they left! And you NEVER helped me like they did!" I growled.

"They're real? I thought they were from one of your stories..." Eileen said.

/I noticed that Chase and Dylan, both frowned/

"We're not stories... we're the people who protected her when you refused." Chase said.

"Hey! Watch what you say to me, boy! I'm your elder!" James snapped.

"Yeah, well, I had to kill a lot of my 'elders' so shut the fuck up, and listen to her!" Chase retorted.

"Who are you?" Eileen asked with a frown.

"Chase and Dylan Enheart... And Dylan's my boyfriend! He's been more supportive to me than you two have EVER been!" I exclaimed.

"Anne Marshall! Watch what you say!" James ordered.

/Suddenly, I had a feeling of massive anger. I screamed, ripped off my bandana, took off my flannel shirt, revealing my black T-shirt, and threw the flannel shirt to the ground, showing the scars on her arms. Mom gasped./

"Anne... what have you done to yourself?!" she asked.

"I DIDN'T DO THIS! THE BULLIES DID!" I screamed. "While you refused to help, I was getting beaten up! I WAS PUNCHED, KICKED, SPAT ON, TEASED, CUT... EVEN RAPED!"

/Dad gasped. He then turned to the group./

"WHICH ONE OF YOU DID IT?!" shouted James

/Suddenly, I punched him, sending him staggering back./

"IT WAS NONE OF THEM! THIS WAS FOUR YEARS AGO! YOU DIDN'T DO A DAMN THING WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL! YOU DIDN'T SEND THE POLICE AFTER THE ONE WHO RAPED ME! YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I shouted

/Mom and dad, continued to have a wide eyed look, as they looked at me. Mom sputtered a little/

"Anne... W- We're sorry. I-" said Eileen

"NOW YOU APOLOGIZE?! It took over 14 years for an apology?! They've been bullying me since Preschool! AND NOW YOU APOLOGIZE?!" I asked

"Anne!" said James

/My hands, balled into fists/

"I STILL have nightmares about what they did to me! And you let it all happen... You could've done something, but you CHOSE not to... I'll never forgive you for that..." I shouted

/Mom had a few tears going down the sides of her face... But I honestly don't care. Finally, she realizes that I was telling the truth!/

"Annie... C- Can't we just talk about this...?" asked Eileen

"Stay the fuck away from me..." I warned, bluntly

/Eileen had a look of horror, and James had a look of shock, as me and Dylan walked away from the group, hands held/
