Elettra Azure. A girl who… though Anna would never admit it, was the mastermind behind everything that had happened over the… hell… past two years since Anna finally gained her freedom from the prison she was kept in. Anna had met the girl 4 years ago, both locked in the same mental institution. One that keeps their residents a secret because no one in the upper class could let society know that their family member was different. Mental Illness doesn’t exist in the elite, didn’t you know, darling? El and her; in a way, had always been in the same boat. Hell – let’s call it a yacht. A similar hatred of their siblings coursing through their veins. And it was in those two years that they discussed how to get back at their respective siblings. Revenge was not a road taken lightly, but it was one that both of them so fervently sought. Not just towards Jessica; but Kai too. A plan in the works with multiple contingencies on both sides. You see - it wasn’t just a point to make sure Jessica fell for Kai; having him break her heart was just the cherry on top. Rather - there was always a plan in the works for him to fall for her as well. Equally broken – something that was both their goals. Though Anna knew that El was p!ssed about the recent announcement of Kai’s engagement with the princess of who the hell knows where. A small country in Europe that barely had any funds left to survive and here comes Kai with all the money they could ever need. The only thing in return is he’d get a title. I mean what the hell; what do you give the man who has everything in the world? Well, a crown of course. It was clearly an arranged marriage; though Anna was trying to explain to El that everything was working to plan despite the hitch. Kai was unhappy and had to marry a girl he didn’t love – just as their plan had initially warranted. But no; Elettra wanted assurances. And so here she was; coming to Beryl because El wanted to meet here… in person after her escape. What a bore; out of all of Europe and the world - she wanted to meet here. Disgusting.
It was clear that El was upset; when was she not? El had always been less refined in holding back her emotions than Anna was. “El calm down…” Anna started, closing her eyes in annoyance. A fight with Jessica and now this. She didn’t want to deal with it. “… we can bloody talk about this outsi-” Anna didn’t get to finish her statement, however; because in the midst of it, Anna felt her body pushed to the side - causing her to lose balance. “What the hell, Je…” though as Anna finally looked at the situation and noticed what had happened; her eyes widened and her heart dropped. Her body felt frozen as she watched her sister fall to the floor with a thud. “no-n…” Anna was at a loss for words as she rushed to her sister’s side; looking at the wound that was now pooling blood. El had stabbed her sister and pulled the knife where she had fallen; and by the amount of blood coming out - it wasn’t looking good. Her sister’s eyes were shut; and Anna paled at the sight of blood on her own hands. And then she acted; her body instinctively pushed her to pull off her own cotton jacket and hold it tightly against where Jess was bleeding. This can’t be happening.
Her heart went from stilling to racing as she looked at her sister. “Jess… keep your eyes open. Please.” Anna cried; not even caring about Elettra who had now taken the knife and started moving towards Kai. That wasn’t her concern. Her concern was that her sister had just pushed her out of the way knowing that there was a knife. Jessica Pierce had sacrificed her own life for Anna’s… and honestly, anna didn’t deserve that. Tears had started falling down Anna’s face for the first time in 10 years. All the emotions she had kept hidden bubbled up as she held the jacket tighter against her sister’s body. Though blood had easily seeped through the cloth and continued running down the floor.
“Jessica don’t… leave… me,” Anna mumbled; so low that no one probably heard her. Jess had started saying something - goodbyes to all of them and for some reason that hurt Anna more than anything had ever before. This was never supposed to happen. Jessica was never supposed to be hurt like this. She just… Anna just wanted Jessica to feel a fraction of what she had felt when she had left a decade ago. “I’m so sorry…"Anna cried; hugging her sister softly as tears continued to fall down her eyes. Her heart was breaking, and it was her own fault. It was her fault that her sister was laying on the floor dying in front of her eyes. Her fault that they were in that position at all. People often said Anna didn’t care about Jessica… maybe at one point, she begin to believe it. Believe that she didn’t care and that her sister didn’t care for her. But this moment revealed the very opposite as her heart twisted into two. She couldn’t lose her. “Jessie please,” Anna whispered; using the nickname the two had adorned each other as kids. Her Anna banana and her sister, Jessie.
Though those very tears only grew as the dying girl looked at her, using her bloody hand to grab onto the other one that wasn’t tightly trying to contain any blood that was left in her own body. It only took her statement of telling Anna that she cared that caused Anna to fall apart. She was dying in front of her eyes and it was killing Anna. “Jessica… I’m so… sorry… Please forgive me… I can’t…” she didn’t have the right words. For the first time in her life; Anna Pierce was speechless. Her hands covered with her sister’s blood as her older sister shook her head telling her that she loved her and asking if she’d take care of their little siblings. “I promise,” Anna escaped; a sob leaving her mouth as the girl made her last promise to her sister. Though she knew when Jessica’s body went limp; that it was over.
Anna, in that moment, could feel the hurt in that moment. Everything Anna had done to her sister; only to learn she was wrong the whole time. Only to find that her sister would sacrifice herself over her – a girl who’s life would never amount to Jessica’s. Hell; just look at the number of people that surrounded them. Anna couldn’t say that she’d have this many people saddened if she died. And apparently, the one person who did care; with her full heart had just left her. In shock; Anna pushed herself away from the body; hitting the lockers as she looked at her hands covered in her sister’s blood. She could see Dan was doing something though she was no longer paying attention. Anna simply… sat there. Unable to move. Unknowing of what was happening around her but knowing one thing. Her sister had just died, and it was her fault.
Her world was falling apart. People may not believe it; with everything she did to her sister - people likely wouldn’t. Could she blame them? No. But she never wanted this. And now she sat there; watching as the pulled her sister’s body up trying to get her back. And for a moment; Anna didn’t move. She saw the people around her; just as much in shock, as she was. She saw the blonde dude get up and rush out and perhaps that moved her out of her own head. With that; Anna got up; rushing out only to see the ambulances leaving - one holding her sister, the other her cousin who had fallen moments earlier. “No,” she screamed outside. She knew people were looking at her and the others who had gathered. The game had halted when the ambulances had arrived and people were likely curious to what had happened. “No” Anna stated again; walking away though someone was right behind her. She didn’t realize for a moment but then recognized her as the girl she had slept with a few weeks ago. “You… I need… I need a ride to the hospital. Now… my sister. .she needs me… I need to…” She didn’t have the right words as tears streamed down her eyes.
“It doesn’t fcking matter I just need you to drive me to the hospital right now,” Anna stated clearly; looking the girl in her eyes as she said those words.
