SASHA'S POV
A few hours after the arguing with Marcy, Sasha has almost completely forgotten about it. Not on purpose, tho. She had just a lot of things to do. First of all, she waited for Anne and Marcy to stop talking about that monster. Then, she grabbed Anne's hand, dragged her outside -the rain has stopped- and guided her to the inn.
Alpha's still inside it, waiting for Sasha patiently. When Sasha and Anne arrives at the principal square of Wartwood, Sasha notices with a satisfied smile that the toads have now the permission to stay inside the village, because they are grouped near the fountain.
-Woah, they're...toads?- Anne comments, wide opening her eyes.
-So, we have toads, frogs and newts and whatever Andrias is.- She says with a little laugh. Sasha smirks.
-Andrias is an asshole. That's all.- He says. When Anne bursts out laughing again, closing her emerald eyes for the laughs, Sasha feels a strong heat raising to her cheeks. No, she can't blush now! She rubs her cheeks and drags again Anne to the inn, opening the door. In the hurry, she's able to not let Anne notice her blush.
-Hey, Sasha, you're pretty nervous today!- Anne laughs again as she talks. She looks like...relaxed. Sasha is so happy about it, Anne seems doing fine.
-Alpha!- Sasha calls when she spots the girl sitting near the fireplace. Alpha turns her head behind and smiles.
-Brother! You're back.- She says, standing up before running to Sasha. Sasha hugs her tight, under the astonished gaze of Anne.
-Sasha, am I dreaming? You're hugging someone that isn't me?- Anne asks, acting shocked, she puts her hands over her mouth and wide opens her eyes. Sasha blushes again, even harder, and leaves Alpha.
-Hey Anne! You're not dreaming for sure, dumb, stop it.- Sasha grumbles, furrowing. Anne laughs, her joke worked perfectly. She leans to Sasha's shoulders, looking up at her with a huge smile.
-Ah, I got ya! Now, come on, introduce me to your new sister!- She says, looking now at Alpha. Sasha feels a hint of jealousy when Anne detaches from her and kneels down in front of Alpha. The little girl looks at her with curiosity.
-You have leafes in your hair, lady.- Alpha says, shy, but Anne does her usual magic: she's able to make everyone feeling comfortable around her with just one smile. She tucks one of her curly hair locks behind an ear and nods.
-I know, girl, I simply can't remove those! Please, call me Anne.- Sha says with a bright smile and a caress on Alpha's head.
-I'm Alpha!- Anne picks her up all of sudden, Sasha feels even more cut off. Ugh, why he's so paranoiac now? Anne is just being Anne. Like always. However, Sasha has to move her gaze away from her.
-Well, Alpha, do you wanna know Marcy? It's out best friend!- Anne says with a bright smile, she rolls her eyes in Sasha direction when the blonde snorts, disappointed.
-Sure!!- Alpha replies, she doesn't know how much this is annoying Sasha. The blonde snorts again but guides Anne out of the inn.
-Great.- She comments, sinking his hands into the pockets. Anne doesn't hear her while she walks out the inn. She blinks a few times, the sun is shining now, it passes through the roof of clouds.
-I have to admit that Wartwood is beautiful.- The curly haired girl says, glancing fast at Sasha maybe to guess what he's thinking now. Sasha shakes her shoulders but she agrees. The sun rays are reflected on the mud and the water puddles, making all the buildings shine.
-So, now that we have a moment to talk, just us two...- Sasha says, pretending to not seeing Alpha in Anne's arms. What she really means is: "now that Marcy's not here..." Anne turns her head behind while she's walking to the Plantars' farm. Sasha notices that all the village already loves her, every frogs greet her and smile at her. In a few days she has been able to become popular.
-Is there something you have to tell me, Sasha?- Anne asks, and even if she's joking, Sasha feels her heart making a flip in her chest. What about Anne thinks she's mad at Marcy? Well...Sasha is mad at Marcy, but they'll figure it out. They both just need to...relax. At least, this is what Sasha thinks.
-Nothing serious...- Sasha says with a nervous laugh. He and Anne exit the village and Sasha curses in silence because she can't hold Anne's hands. He blushes, looking away.
-Look!- Anne says to Alpha, pointing with one hand the farm, she puts down the little girl. Alpha runs ahead before Anne, laughing.
-I bet I'm faster than you!!- She says and Anne follows her with another laugh. Sasha remains alone before she can even notice.
-...Anne?- She mutters, nervous, then she runs behind them furrowing. Damnit, she can't even try to talk with her peacefully.
They enter inside the farm, Sasha reaches them and closes the door. The Plantars are all reunited in the kitchen, Hop Pop has placed an old map on the table. Marcy and Jelly are with them, bended over the map to study it. Sasha rolls her eyes. Nerds' behaviour.
Anne, with no breath for the run, leans at the wall and smiles. Sasha walks near her and for a second a crazy thought crosses her mind. She wants to wrap her waists with an arm, maybe let her rest on his shoulders but he doesn't.
-Guys, she's Alpha!- He says instead, reaching the Plantars' attention. Jelly jumps on the table, their eyes wide opened.
-Woah, that is...!- Hop Pop talks over their voice and drowns them off.
-Another human. But, this time, I think I know who she is.- He says in a deep tone of voice. Finally also Marcy raises their head from the map and turns to Hop Pop.
-What?- Anne ask, genuinely concerned. Hop Pop sighs and stands up.
-Well, actually there's something I have to tell you, humans.- Marcy comes close to Anne, Sasha clenches his jaw but says nothing. The trio (and Alpha) are carefully listening to Hop Pop. The old frog seems embarrassed.
-Leif, the Wartwood's founder, is alive. And she wants to talk with you all.
