Chapter 16

The picture above represents the way the animal is, in the Van Allen's Family Seal, that Anna saw in the magical cave beside her ancestors names.

Annabella was hesitantly standing just outside of Tristan's intimidating bedroom door. She was intensely scrutinizing the black wooden door with narrow eyes, although, she didn't exactly know the disturbing reason of her sudden nervousness.

Should she knock?

Should she just get in?

What if he's not inside?

Or... What if he's inside and he'll simply ignore her?

Again!

No. Annabella was standing there for a reason. She had a reason....

She was determined although this determination of hers flew out of the window seconds later after she reached his door. For some reason Anna was hesitant.

But why...

Her relationship with the arrogant Prince wasn't what someone could call ....friendly. Not even acquaintanced. She didn't even know if they were in a particular existing category.

Probably the enemy's category or...something close to that.

Anna just wasn't sure how to face him...,after all that happened...

After that night occurred...

How should she react if she saw him? Tristan did saved her life, after all... He had holden her in his warmly strong and calmly   embrace. In a surprisingly way, he had helped her to fight off the whole situation. He had given her the strength and will to resist and come back in full force. To face the whole situation. Although, she didn't wanted to admit it.

Not even to herself.

In a way she owns him.

She wasn't ungrateful nor a hypocrite. She ought, at least, to thank him. But...

Tristan was been difficult as always. From the day she encountered him in that empty classroom, having a hormonal detonation with Brianna, he was giving her nothing more than a constant bitter headache. Testing her patience's limits.

But then what....? What will happen after she does achieve another encounter with him?

No... She shook her head. She shouldn't be thinking of that, right now. Nor should she expect anything else from him. She, herself, didn't want anything else from Tristan. He was too much of a handful.

But that didn't change the fact that she does have to see him.

And she will, sooner or later. He can't keep ignoring her forever.

She'll talk to him even if that means lurking inside his closet.

Like a stalker.

Yes, she was determined. Anna was refreshed with newfound braveness. What could possibly happen? If he didn't answer by himself, lurking is then.

Okay...

Maybe she was overreacting or overthinking the whole matter. But one thing was for sure. With that person, she needed to take major measures.

The whole situation was reminding her of that time when Seth was avoiding her because he was kicked out of the football team. Anna had made it her mission to put him in that team in order to take his mind off of his books and comics that constantly surrounding him, day and night, and when he had finally achieved to become a part of the team, even though he had the lowest position possible, she was so proud and happy that Seth couldn't find it in him to ruin her exciting mood by letting her down and telling her that he was kicked out because of low interest and bad 'horrified' skills, as his coach had said. He was embarrassed too.
