Everything Black (Big Six)

Chapter 26

Kozomotis Pitchinir

"Grandma why are you silent" Rapunzel stared at her grandma with wide eyes while everyone just stood there shocked from the picture in Rapunzel's hand.

"Whe...Where did you f-find this?" Anne gulped trying to hide her shock.

"In your drawer! And that's not an answer" Rapunzel's tone was getting a bit harsh.

"Honey.." Anne tried reaching Rapunzel but she pulled away instantly with accusation written all over her eyes. Anne felt hurt by this.. she didn't wanna hurt Rapunzel. It's the last thing she ever wanted "Rapunzel you don't unde-"

"Don't understand?" Rapunzel scoffed "I've been seeing this monster all my life!" Rapunzel snapped glaring at her grandma while everyone just stood there stunned not just because of the picture, but also Rapunzel seems kinda scary right now.

"What?" Anne furrowed her eyebrows "Rapunzel what are you talking about? How do you see him!" She tried reaching Rapunzel's shoulders in shock but she pulled away again.

"Grandma I want answers!" Rapunzel demanded looking angry as hell.

"Rapu-"

"Now!" She glared while still holding the picture. Anne gulped, she knew a day like this might come but she tried her best to avoid it. She had no idea it will come this soon, Rapunzel is still so young..

"Okay..." Anne whispered while holding back tears "Just....just sit down" Rapunzel still had her glare going on while walking to the others at the sofa.

They were all gathered around Anne in the living room, Jack sat beside Rapunzel on the sofa. She had a look that he had never seen in her eyes before, and he couldn't help but feel that she needs him.

"This...This town...." Anne sighed "I've lived here my entire my life, my parents moved here when my mother was still pregnant" Anne started and everyone listened carefully "Everything was beautiful.... I even made a friend...." Anne gulped knowing that shit will go down from here "Her name was Emily..... Emily Pitchinir" Anne got out a photo from the box she had gotten from her room and the kids all gasped when they saw the picture. It was that mysterious girl they had seen in the library!

"Isn't that..." Hiccup blinked.

"It's her!" Jack got up and took the picture from Anne who didn't mind and showed it to the others and they gasped while Rapunzel just remained silent staring at her grandma.

"You know her?" Anne raised her eyebrows.

"We've been searching...." Anna cleared her throat, nothing to hide anymore. Anne gasped.

"Is that the project?" Anne exclaimed "This is what you've all been up to! Do you know how dangerous it is!" She couldn't believe them and she glared at Rapunzel remained unaffected.

"We know" Merida folded her arms "And we don't  care!"

"Yea We want our friend back" Flynn stated.

"And my sister" Jack gritted while holding the picture tighter. Anne just stared with wide open eyes... they have no idea what they're getting themselves into.

"What's her story?" Elsa asked and the others looked back at Anne. She sighed and had to keep going, she'll lecture them later.

"She was my best friend...My childhood friend...." Anne looked down smiling a sad smile "We did everything together.... sleepovers, homework, trips..."

"And what happened?" Anna asked, she kinda felt sorry for the grandma.

"One day we had this school project and she had to stay up late at my house" Anne pressed her lips together, part of her always felt guilty "I told her to stay the night but her father insisted she'd come back.... our work wasn't done though.... so we decided to stay at her house..."
