Tris POV:
It's two days after Christmas, Christina, Anna and I are at the mall looking for clothes for Anna.
I see a purple dress and I hold it up.
"How about this one?" I say.
"I love it. Tris thank you so much for all these clothes and all the help."
I hug her. I have grown very protective of her.
"Oooooh how about this cute outfit!" Christina says.
It's a white crop top with a black undershirt, white jeans, and black
High tops.
"I like it." she says
"Me too." I say.
Once we have gotten almost every piece of clothing we buy it and Christina, Anna, and I head to the teen store to buy new clothes.
I grab an electric blue crop top that says, 'New Year's', with a pair of red jeans. I also pick out a peach strapless dress that trails floor and nude color high heels.
We walk out the stores and we have to make one more stop at the jewelry store. When we get they I see an emerald necklace. I think about Anna's green eyes and it would make they pop. I buy for her and we literally feel like we have shopped 'til we dropped.
We walk to my car and jump in.
Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen comes on and we are all singing to it.
I drop Christina home. Then we go home.
"Anna how did you get on the streets?" I ask her.
"My dad abuses me. So I ran away and a few days ago my mom went missing and they found her..." Her voice trails off. I hug her and she continues.
"They f-found her body in a ditch and her killer was my dad. I had to run and get away from him. Now I have no family."
She begins to cry.
"Don't worry Anna. I will be your family. So will Christina, Will, Peter, Lynn, Shauna, Marlene, Uriah, Zeke, Four, Caleb, and the twins. We will all be your family."
"Can I stay with you? Forever?"
"Yes you can. My house is your house now. I will sign you up for school and you will stay here with me."
She hugs me and then I go to Caleb's old room.
It's sky blue, Anna's favorite color. So I take all of Anna's clothes and put it in the closet and I put the emerald necklace I bought for her on the pillow.
I smile and walk to the hallway bathroom, which is now Anna's, filled with new things like shampoo, body wash, and many other necessary things.
"Anna! Go to your new room and get changed so we can leave with the twins and Four." I yell.
"Ok!" She yells back.
I walk to my room and pull out a red hood with a black shirt with red jeans and my black high tops. I put on a little bit of mascara and lip gloss.
I walk out of my room to see Anna in white shirt, green jeans, black uggs, and the emerald necklace.
She runs over and hugs me.
"I love it!" She says.
"I knew you would."
Then we hear a knock at the door.
Kelly walks in and I hug her then the twins and Tobias are here.
"Anna! Tris! We're here!" The twins say.
"Coming!" We shout in unison.
We grab our jackets and run downstairs.
"Yay! We're going to watch the movie, Frozen!" June says.
"Oh. I heard it was really good."
Then we walk into the theatre.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Best. Movie. Ever." I say and the others agree.
"I agree and I am not the Princesse type."
We laugh and then we go home. Then twins were invited to a sleepover so it's just Anna, Tobias and me.
"Anna is taking a nap so we can watch another movie or whatever." I say.
"Let's watch Parental Guidance." He says. I put it in and we are laughing so hard we have tears in our eye.
Then I hear a bloodcurdling scream. We run to Anna's room.
"Anna! Wake up!" I shout. She wakes with tears in her eyes.
"I-I had a nightmare." She says crying.
I look at Tobias, he nods and walks out.
"Was it about you dad?" I ask while hugging her.
"Yes."
"We have to do something about it. He can't go around terrorizing you. You are even having nightmares about him."
Then I hear a knock at the door and I walk down with Anna. When I open the door, Anna hides behind me. Something tells me she knows this man.
"Anna! I thought I lost you." He says trying to grab her. I keep him out and tell her to go to Tobias.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"Her father. And I want my daughter."
"Get the hell out of here."
"I want my daughter."
"Get the hell out of my house."
He pulls out a gun and points it at my chest. I stand there with my head up.
"Let me in so I can get my daughter."
I hear sirens and I know it's the police. But he still has the gun at my chest.
I kick him where it counts, turn around and elbow his nose.
They arrest him.
"He killed her." Anna says.
"Who?" The cops ask.
"My mom! He killed her."
"The body we found in the ditch?"
"Yes! He killed her!"
She begins to cry and they take him away. But one of them, a teenage cop, stays to ask her questions about the murder.
"I am gonna ask her a few questions. Ok?"
I reluctantly nod then I turn to her and say, "If anything happens just scream." She nods and I walk to Tobias.
He wraps his arm around me and I lean on his shoulders.
"She will be fine." He says.
"I hope."
A few minutes later the teenage cop walks back with Anna. She runs into my arms.
"He's being arrested for child abuse and murder. He'll be in there for 9." He says.
I thank him and we go back inside.
"He's gone. Okay?" I say.
She smiles, nods, and walks upstairs to go play with Bubbles.
