The family

9.

A week went by and nothing had changed. Anna tried being kind and friendly to Cassandra but that didn't work. Poor girl didn't knew what to do anymore.

Bela walked in Anna's room and saw her new friend crying. "Hey Anna, what's wrong?" Bela asked sitting next to her. "Your sister hates me, i don't know what to do more, i tried everything" Anna said and Bela just looked at her. "Then stop trying, don't do anything, treat her like she treats you" Bela said. "Your mother would kill me" Anna replied still crying. "My mother wouldn't kill you, she didn't even let Cassandra kill you" Bela said.
"wait... That lady didn't let her kill me? Why? Is this because of the deal" Anna tought. "Why?"  Anna finally asked. "I don't really know, i never tried asking her but i don't she would tell me if i did" Bela said.

"Tell what?" Bela heard her sisters voice, thank fully it was just Daniela. "Nothing" Bela said. "I heard you two were talking about something, now tell me" Damiela said and Anna just looked at Bela and Bela nodded. "Well Bela told me that your mother didn't let Cassandra to kill me and we don't know why" Anna said honestly. "It's all about the blood, maybe your's taste better then other's and that's why she doesn't let anyone hurt you but of course there could be other reasons that we don't know" Daniela explained.

"Like what?" Bela asked. "I don't know, maybe because she's your friend and mother wants to see us happy" Daniela said but Anna felt that it's something else, she just didn't knew what.
"Maybe Daniela and i could try to find out because honestly, this is weird. Mom would have killed you already" Bela said and Daniela nodded.
"She would have killed me already? What do you mean?" Anna asked. "Well you see she would have killed you when you came in this castle but she didn't" Bela said honestly. "I'm sorry, i didn't wanted to scare you" Bela added seeing how scared Anna was. "No, it's okay i just... Whatever."  Anna said and both of the girls left. 

She couldn't explain how weird this was, she gets more and more confused everyday. What is even happening here? What is Alcina planning? Is it something bad? Were the question there were coming too Anna's mind. "What the hell did i do?" She asked herself silently now realizing that she might have gotten in trouble.

She sat in her for a while and then heard a knock on her door. "Come in" she said and Alcina opened the door. She walked in and sat on Anna's cauch next to her. "Here ma'am" Anna said and gave Alcina het arm but she pushed her arm away. "I did not came here because of blood this time" Alcina said. "Then what is it ma'am?" Anna asked. "I heard you crying not so long ago. What's wrong sweetheart?" Anna couldn't believe what she heard, did the lady just called her sweetheart? "It's nothing ma'am" Anna said after a minute of silence and thinking. "You don't have to worry. You can tell me anything" The lady said kindly.

"I don't actually know ma'am. I am really confused about my choices, about our deal, about Cassandra, about everything" Anna said and Alcina just looked at her. "Don't worry about Cassandra, everything will be fine." The lady said and again, this wasn't something that Anna expected to hear. The lady was so kind and understanding at the moment. "Thank you ma'am" Anna said and Alcina gave her a really beautiful smile. Everything about that smile was so perfect and finally Anna smiled again.
