Shredded :Saga: [ON HOLD]

Chapter 14

Cora is in gym, and she sees Anna. For some reason she didn't want to talk to her whatsoever. Yet, it was only the first time she's seen her since the attack. She distanced herself away from Anna and Matt. She felt like something was off, and she was going to stick with her gut feeling. Anna notices Cora and smiles at her. When Cora doesn't respond, her smile is distinguished. She just stares at her distant friend. Watching her every move, Anna gets tagged back into the game of frisbee.

Cora decides to tell the teacher that she needs a break. She's lied easily, and she walked over to the side. Jumping onto the bleachers, she brings her knees to her chest. She's not sure if she's more afraid, distraught, upset, sick, or paranoid. She stares blankly in front of her.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you playing? You love ultimate frisbee." Anna is sitting next to her. Coming out of nowhere, she scared Cora. "You look upset. Did something happen while I wasn't here?"

"I'm uh fine. I think I'm just getting sick or the week of Hell is coming." She lied. "I just feel off of my game today. Hope Coach doesn't mind." Her voice suddenly became clipped and stern. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up.

Anna knew something was up, but she went with it anyways. "Alright, well I'm going back to the game." Cora went to respond, but she blinked and found Anna back on the court.

Cora looked down, and her stomach felt queasy. For some reason, when Anna went near her, all of her senses heightened more than usual. She looked away, not wanting to think of anything. She stayed in the position she was in, and didn't want to move. Eventually, her body relaxed somewhat, and she started to doze off.

Something was up with the game. One of Matt's teammates kept flinching throughout the game. Dana, she felt a pinch at her neck every few couple breaks during the game. Anna kept disappearing on and off the court, yet no one seemed to notice. Only Matt did. When he was tagged out, he called Anna to the sidelines.

"You shouldn't be talking to me right now, opposite teams. People would think I'm getting you to throw the game." Anna laughed. "Actually it wouldn't matter either way, my team still prevails."

Matt ignores her comment.

"Why do you continue going off the court? Why is Cora sitting on the side? Did something happen? Did she find out about the...?" He shoots question after question, not taking a breath. His T-shirt was soaked to him, and most of the girls were staring at him. He closed his eyes, calming himself down, so he doesn't snap at everyone. "Anna, is something going on?" He says in all seriousness.

"You are all playing one game, while I'm keeping two up. No, you can't take me anywhere without trouble. Remember I know what you think, and I'm not a child, nor yours." She goes to get back on the court and he grabs her arm.

"What are you doing?" Matt tried staying quiet.

"You know you shouldn't be so uptight. Not healthy to have a stick up your ass twenty-four seven. Oh and she's fine." Anna cranes her neck. "Let go of me?"

"Stop playing games with me. Tell me what's going on." His grip gets tighter.

Anna bends his fingers off her arm one by one, and walks backwards to the court. "I need a drink." She smirks, looking at him as she opens her mouth, then bites down hard.

Matt's gaze doesn't let off of her, he doesn't trust her. Anna continues to play the game. Receiving the frisbee, she stops in her tracks and passes it. Matt's gaze follows the frisbee then shoots back to her. She's now smiling wide. A group of people run by her and she disappears. Fear runs through him, he realizes what she's up to. 'Anna is hunting...", his eyes widen.
