21 {} They Strike Again

ANDREW GRABBED MY HAND AS WE STARTED TO RACE DOWN THE HALLS. We passed through numbers of guards who were screaming " Get her! " which of course gave me chills. We were about half way through the hallway when I hear Liam's voice scream " SNEAKS! " Years of memory flowed through my mind and I stopped abruptly.

" Liam, give it back! " Trinity said as she tried to pry her doll out of Liam's hands. " Never! " Liam said before laughing and throwing Trinity's doll in a puddle. I stuck my tongue out at him and raced towards Trinity. " How is she? " I asked her and she looked at me, tears shining in her eyes " She's all muddy now " She said sadly and looked down at her muddy doll. Suddenly, rage went through me and I kneeled down next to Trin. " Let's get him back " I whispered softly and Trinity looked at me " What? " She said confused and I looked at her " Lets get revenge " I say and she looks down " That would be wrong.. " She begins and I look down, embarrassed of my idea. " But it would be fun too! " She finishes excitedly and I swing my head up, in her direction. " Really? " I ask her excited and she nods her head furiously. " Whats the plan? " I ask her and she opens her mouth to say something but closes it quickly, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, an idea runs through my head " I have a plan " I say proudly and Trin looks up at me " What is it? " She asks and I scoot closer towards her, whispering the plan into her ear. When done she looks at me devilishly and nods her head. I stand up, and I race towards Liam and his toy trains. When I get there, he looks up at me " What do you want belles? " He says annoyed that I interrupted his game " I bet that I can jump higher than you " I say proudly and he stands up " No way! " He says and I look up at him " Yes way " I say calmly and Liam stomps his foot. " I can jump higher than you because Im taller " He says proudly and stands tall. Liam has always been really tall, and so have I. Trinity is the only tiny one. " So? It all depends on how strong your legs are " I say cockily and Liam gets angrier " Yeah well, I'm older " He says and I roll my eyes. Liam is three years older than us. My birthday is in November and Trinity's is in February, making me the youngest. " Who cares, like I said, it's all about your kn- " I begin again but Liam cuts me off " yeah yeah, it's all about your knees, I get it " He says mocking me. " I can jump higher see " I say jumping and he crosses his arms. " Nope, see " He says while jumping. " Ha, that was nothing " I scoff and Liam makes a face " Im not going to get beat by a girl " He says and jumps really high. " Fine " I begin crossing my arms, " You win " I say and walk back a little. " Good. " He says and sits back down " Now leave me alone " He says and reaches for his train car, which of course wasn't there. I giggle and race towards Trinity, who is smirking right next to the puddle. Liam looks at us and races there too, only to find his trains slobbered with mud. " My trains! " He says and kneels down. " You were really sneaky " He says accusingly towards Trinity and she smirked harder. " You were really sneaky " He says calmly, acknowledging it. " I finally got my nickname for you " He says and starts walking away, his toy trains is his hands. " What is it? " Trinity asks curious " Sneaks "

I was six at that time. Dad died later that year. " Come on! " Andrew exclaimed and nudged me. I opened my mouth to say something when a pair of strong arms covered my mouth and lifted me up " Annabelle! " Andrew screamed but guards ran to his aid and kept him back from getting to me. Andrew was ready to punch the guards when the person lifted me over his shoulder and raced down the hall. By now I was very dizzy, and very confused. I did not know where I was and I had basically lost all hope in life. Suddenly, the guy stopped running and flipped me right side up, placing me on a chair. " Hold on, hold on " The voice said and tied me down to the chair. My head was spinning and I had no control over my muscles, I was too weak to do anything." Turn on the lights boys. " The voice said and the lights flickered on, making me squint. Wait, I know that voice.. " Trent " I murmured and he smiled " Well look who's back to normal " He said and walked around me. " What- What am I doing here? " I say, struggling to get out of the ropes. " Relax, relax. We're just asking for a favour " He says smirking and I glare at him. " Im never doing anything for you " I say angrily and Trent steps in front of me. " Well let me at least ask you " He says and I roll my eyes " Long story short, we need you to remove the caste system " He spat out and I start laughing. " In your dreams " I say and he glares at me. " wrong choice Caspen " he begins " I though you wanted to do this the easy way " he said and I glared at him " who said anything about the easy way? " I said smirking and Trent stopped walking. " listen close, because I'm not explaining this twice. " He says and I roll my eyes " Every day that Trinity falls in love with Maxon more, the idea of removing the caste system becomes more of a dream than an option " Trent begins " you've been spying on her? " I exclaim and Trent flinches " yes we have " he says before getting back on track " Anyways, since you're her best friend, we thought maybe you could convince her " Trent finished and I placed my head on my hands " And how am I supposed to do that? " I asked him sarcastically " by becoming the Queen and removing the caste system. Once she sees you removing it, she is going to be fond with the idea too " He says and I roll my eyes " never in a million years " I spit out and he smirks " I'd figure you'd say that " He said and pulled something put of his pocket. He studied it for a minute before throwing it at me. It landed gently on my lap, and the more I studied it, the more I got scared. " You have a wonderful family Anna " Trent said softly and I just stared down at the picture of me, my mom, and my two sisters. " Im sure you wouldn't do anything to mess that up " He finished coldly an harshly. I choked back tears. " You wouldn't " I said to him and he smirked " We both know, that I would " He says and I look down, tears brimming in my eyes. " Now it's your decision " Trent says now cheery and I look up. " I do hope that you make the right decision " he says and suddenly the rope is being untied. I turn round to find three other rebels behind me. I look at my wrists, a red burn mark engraved on them. " And don't worry, next time we'll try a more, subtle approach " Trent finishes and I look at him confused before he pushes me and I suddenly land back in the hallway. I look up to find one of the halls walls closing, with Trent and a few other rebels in it. I quickly stood up, rebels were still in the castle. I ran towards the safe room, which was unfortunately on the other side of the floor. I ran though hallways and bathrooms, occasionally bumping into rebels who tried to chase me. Suddenly, I came across a rebel pointing his gun at a man. Behind the man was a little girl, about six of seven " Daddy! " she screamed, but it was too late. The rebel already shot the man. " Annabelle! " Andrews voice called across the hallway I ran towards the girl and picked her up, crying. I caught up with Andrew and we started running towards the safe room. I appreciated the fact that he kept quiet, even though he knew something had happened. As we got to the safe room, I stopped crying. Crying was a sign of weakness, but apparently all the girls didn't get the memo. All the girls were crying and screaming, but they stopped immediately as soon as they heard the little girl cry. I sat down, the little girl in my arms, as I was in Andrews arms. All the girls were glaring at me. I looked across the room towards Maxon, who was looking at me worriedly. I looked away immediately. I didn't tell Trinity but, he tends to stare at me most of the time, which makes me very self conscious. Soon, Trinity came rushing in, her head was bleeding and she fell into Maxons arms. I gave the girl to Andrew and rushed to Trins aid. " Trinity " I called out worriedly and she looked at me. Soon, the queen came and me, the Queen, and Maxon came to help her. The queen wrapped her head with a bandage and I applied cream, stitched some sides of her head and kept her calm. After a about 10 minutes, a guard said that we were free to go and all the girls rushed out. I stayed back with Trinity and helped her up. " Im okay " She said but stumbled and Maxon lifted her up, bridal style. " I'll take her to the hospital " Maxon said and left the room. " How is she? " Andrew asked me and I opened my mouth to say something but the Queen spoke first. " She'll be fine. Considering that Annabelle Stitched her up in less than five minutes " She said and I blushed. " Have you taken any medical classes? " Amberly asked me and I nodded " Yes I have " I told her and she smiled proudly. " Good. Annabelle, may I speak to you? " She asked me and I nodded. " Let me take this young girl to the hospital first " I told the queen and she nodded. " Meet me in my private tea room " Queen Amberly called out an I nodded before leaving.
