The Blue-eyed Redhead (JaRida AU)

Chapter 20- I saw him.

(A/N: WARNING minor swearing or use of curse words so please be open-minded and there is also a killing scene here.)

Elinor sighed as she arranged the test papers of her students she massaged her aching hands and did a little stretching. She was definitely tired.

Who wouldn't when you've been checking 50 students from two different sections? Add to that the stress teaching unruly students and those who cannot cope up with their lesson well. She was definitely tired indeed.

"Still not done yet? You've been working on that for almost half an hour! You haven't had lunch yet" her co-teacher, Mrs. Benny said in a worried tone.

Yes, you've read that right. Instead of taking a break on what she's been doing and attending her next class earlier, she stayed in the faculty and finished checking. She just assigned another teacher to take over her class she gave specific instructions on what they need to tackle anyway a

Things that a teacher would do for her students...

"I'm okay, really. But Thank you for your concern" Elinor said and smiled kindly at her co-teacher.

"How 'bout this? I'll buy you a sandwich will you eat then?"

" No as I've said I'm alright"

Her co-teacher shrugged and went out of the faculty leaving her alone. She resumed checking the papers, while she was checking she heard some shuffling from her her left side where the desk of her other co-teacher was located and the mini cabinet where they put the student's files are.

She ignored at first but then she saw something move infront of her but it was quick. she shook her head and sighed it must be her imagination.

'Psst!' a voice called.

Elinor froze and looked around. She saw nobody was there, she didn't feel frightened. Just a tad bit surprised. She remembered what the teachers were talking about the other day when they were eating at the canteen, they say that the school's been haunted again by a man from ages ago. Before this school was built, a man named Claude Frollo, who was a very powerful man in Paris and-some say- insane man, used witchcraft to lock his spirit in their school. That this school used to be his home.

They say Claude Frollo kidnaps young women that he lusts for then he locks them in his cellar then rapes them. And what's more scary is you also can hear the screams of the women 'till now.

And the faculty used to be the where the cellar is.

Since Elinor doesn't believe in ghosts she just ignored the topic and continued to eat. Besides she has encountered more scary-looking villains back in OS.

She was brought back to reality when she she felt something cold touch her shoulder. Like a hand was wrapped around it. Elinor looked up and there she saw it...

Claude Frollo...

His hair was white and so is his face, he looks like an old psycho-maniac his robes were red as blood and the jewelries he is wearing were glinting. He gave her a sickening smile that it looked like his cheeks were about to get ripped.

"hello, darling..." Claude hissed.

Elinor was about to scream her lungs out but Claude immediately grabbed her neck and strangled her. She tried to get his hands off her but he was stronger, he was a man after all.

"Ack-k!!!.. Let-k me... GO!!!" Elinor choked at her words.

Claude merely grinned then leaned, he took a sniff of her hair and moaned. " Ahh... i like the smell of your hair! You'll be mine!" He cackled.

She can't breathe properly. She called Merida in her head.

"Merida!!! Merida, help me!"

"Mom?! What's wrong?! Where are you?!"- Merida.

"I-I'm here at the Academy! Hurry up! I can't hold on much longer! Claude Frollo's choking me!!!" Elinor said.

" Okay!"

Claude's grip on her neck got more tighter, Elinor was slowly losing her consciousness. Suddenly the faculty door opened and the school's old guardian was there, Esmeralda. Elinor struggled to open her eyes to look at Esmeralda to look at her appearance. She was old and looked kinda frail but still beautiful.

"FROLLO! LET HER GO!!!!" Esmeralda's voice booms.

Claude's grip slightly gets loose but not enough to let Elinor's breathing come normal, he chuckled darkly while his head was spinning (literally) to look at the old Esmeralda.

"Ah! Esmeralda~ my darling~" Claude cooed.

He finally let go of Elinor's neck, she dropped off to her chair and coughed. Esmeralda looked at her and her eyes softened for a bit before turning to Claude with her cold glare.

"I should have known you'll come back... What do you want, Claude?" Esmeralda hissed.

"You should now that by now Esme~ You know just how I love girls, especially you" Claude manically cooed.

"Go to hell, you deserve to be there" Esmeralda said before she charged him with her gold cross dagger with a small glass ball embedded in the middle.

Claude dodged and disappeared momentarily distracting Esmeralda.

"Boo~" Claude whispered from behind her then he kicked her in the back. She landed on the wall face first.

"Ahhhaa!! You are weak!" Claude taunted.

Esmeralda stood up then charged again. They fought with Claude dodging and Esmeralda attacking. Elinor tried to stand up and help but her vision was blurry and her head was spinning from the lack of oxygen.

The faculty was a mess, papers scattered everywhere and furnitures where in disarray. Elinor tried again and finally! She succeeded. She breathed hard and shook her head when she was sure she can move, she charged at Claude, she grabbed his neck but he grabbed her arms then flipped her.

Elinor landed on her back but then she pulled Frollo with her and did a head-lock. Esmeralda raised her dagger but Claude kicked her hand making the dagger fly out of her grasp then he bit on Elinor's arm which made her let him go. He stood up to get the dagger but her got paralyzed.

Elinor and Esmeralda looked at the door, there Merida stood with Hiccup and Rapunzel. She was using her telekinetic powers to paralyze Frollo's body.

"GET THE DAGGER NOW AND STAB THIS SON A B*****!!!" Merida shouted obviously pissed at Frollo for hurting her mother.

Esmeralda immediately got up to where the dagger is and Elinor followed her. Esmeralda raised her hand but Elinor grabbed her hand and took the dagger. "I'll do it" Elinor hissed, then she stabbed Frollo's heart, the dagger was deep inside then she twisted it. Frollo screamed in pain, you can see his blood gushing out.

Rapunzel clung to Merida for she was not used to see something like this gory. Hiccup only stared.
