What I Thought was Love

Chapter 13: The Truth of Frost

As training was complete for the day Frost breathed heavily as she walked behind the other clan members. The flashbacks of what recently happened continued to run through her mind. She stopped and put her hands on her hips, saying

-"Everyone go wash up or go eat!" She shouted, her booming voice echoing through the halls. Everyone did one or the other, there was no right choice the ones going to eat first were going to get the better foods that were served and those who went to wash first received warm water. She heard something familiar but not common. She looked back to see Kuai laughing alongside Kitana, Frost was shocked her jaw hitting the floor. She shook her head and began to glare as she placed her hands on her hips. As they approached she removed her glare and looked at Kitana who continued to smile at Kuai, she smiled and nicely said

-"Kitana, you should go wash" she brushed some grass off of her shoulder "you're a mess" Kitana only replied with

-"Oh you are right, mind saving me a seat Kuai?" Kuai simply nodded, Kitana smiled and Frost just gagged in disgust.

-"It's Grandmaster!" Kitana flinched at the sudden change in behavior from Frost.

-"Oh yes I'm truthfully sorry... I think I should go now" They watched her leave. Sub looked towards his sister

-"Frost, would you mind dialing your anger down?" He asked her calmly and patiently.

-"Whatever, any way let's go into another room"

Surprised at first but putting on a calm demeanor he responded with
-"Of course but can we speed things along I am hungry"

He said placing a hand on his stomach as it growled. As they walked to an empty room Frost just rolled her eyes.

-"You're the Grandmaster you can tell them to cook some more for you and also why are you so hungry when all you did was play a majority of the time" Frost had a smug expression under her mask, she was amused by her own remark. Sub got defensive of the topic

-"I am not going to do that as a Grandmaster all should be equal for everyone including me, maybe for some exceptions. But food is not one them and as a matter of fact I DID train today"

Frost closed the door and turned around, clearly not believing his statement. She rolled her eyes
-"Sure you did, how about me and you ask Raiden and see what he says"

Sub just crossed his arms and began to yell
-"You shall not bring a god into such a small matter and it is not my fault!"

She jumped in surprise but anger began to fuel in her to the point that she began to shout in return
-"Actually it is, he put YOU" she sharply jabbed her finger at his chest and continued "in charge to train her and to allow her SOME redemption. But honestly I don't know why he trusted you with that since you know nothing about it, you couldn't even avenge Bi Han!!"

Kuai's eyes grew wide and so did Frost's. She began to look down and whispered, tears glazing her eyes "you couldn't avenge Bi Han..." She trailed off. Sub reached out for her shoulder, pain clear across both of their faces.

-"Frost..." He whispered and pulled her in for a hug. A tear escaped Frost's eye, as one did for Kuai and it followed the scar on his right eye. She pulled away and she continued to look at the floor.

-"Pardon me Grandmaster, I must leave" her voice cracked, and she stormed out covering her face. The door remained open revealing a sad Sub- Zero who's arm was stretched out as if to reach for his sister.

Frost ran through the hallways trying to reach her room, with the same thought running through her mind 'Don't cry it's a sign of weakness, don't cry it's a sign of weakness, don't cry it's a sign of weakness!!'. Her face was covered to ensure that no one can see her crying. But unfortunately for Frost, that plan did not succeed.
