Anna (ON HOLD)

Anna Comes Home

Gretel's POV
I led our way to my house very excited for the upcoming things. Anna will see my wonderful house and meet my little family. Anna looked down and walked quietly and her hair covered her face so I couldn't see it. I nudged her for her attention and she looked up and smiled at me. "I am grateful to have you as a friend Anna," I said sincerely and she nodded and said, "me too." We remained quiet for the rest of the small way to our house and I thought about how it would be nice to have more friends around to always accompany me and to make me feel less lonely. I wanted to party! Oh! Went too far. I know Anna is a really beautiful person but.... nevermind nothing is ever enough for me.
As we approached our house, she gazed at it wide eyed and I warmly bowed and slid my hands in a direction to wave her to come inside and welcome her...."welcome to my abode. I hope you stay comfortable." "Oh. Thanks. Not a bit different," she said taking the last words to a whisper but I heard it anyway. So I asked her and said, "I passed by this house once about an year ago maybe....I came to pluck, uh, daisies to make a crown. Sorry. Didn't know it's resident would be my friend." "Oh well, no need for that I was thinking to do the same. I like daisy chains too." We chuckled together. I entered the house without my mom noticing as she was in the kitchen and I had my personal keys for the door. I called out to my mom saying "Mom I'm home! Is dad here?" "Be quiet Gretel, I am talking on the phone and dad is in his room." I looked back in embarrassment to where Anna stood, but she was not there as I looked at my front, I saw her walking at a strangely low speed towards the kitchen. I called out her name but she didn't reply so I ran towards her and she had a creepy grin on her face. "Let's scare your mom!" She said. My eyes widened in shock and I tried to pull her hand back but it was like her hand was very heavy. I ignored that and said, "Anna no! Don't do that. She will be so mad, also I couldn't guess you are such a mischievous person. But please don't, she will be mad on me!" She laughed and said, "Oh poor girly. Why are you so afraid of your mom. Nevermind I will just go meet her, you stay here, i'll go give a good impression." "Are you sure?" I asked and she convinced me she could do this.
She walked again in that strange speed and entered the kitchen.

Writer's POV

As she entered the kitchen she stood behind Caroline's back in the corner. Suddenly she spoke loudly, "Missed me? Gretel's mommy?" Caroline screamed and fell down scared by the sudden voice taking certain kitchen utensils with herself to the floor. Gretel rushed into the kitchen worried by the noise and went to her mom helping her up. Gretel's dad also came into the kitchen hearing the noise and was startled. He also went to her and Caroline started shouting. Her family asked her to stop but she wouldn't, "Gretel! Why did you became friends with this girl? Why did you? couldn't you befriend some other girl?" "Who did you befriend, Gretel?" her father asked out of curiosity. "Anna, dad and she is so sweet and pretty. She is standing behind you," answered Gretel. "Oh my GOd! Anna! OH NO! Anna! Why?" her mom kept screaming and gradually fell unconscious. "But no one is standing behind me kid," her dad calmly said while helping Caroline, "and don't worry, your mom is just depressed so much because of our....." he wasn't able to complete.

"Dad you can't see her?"

"See who dear?"

"Dad don't joke right now."

"I am not joking, there is nobody here."

"Dad! Anna, why are you crying? Don't cry please."

"I made a mess. Look what I did! Oh my, I am such a mess!" said Anna, but gretel's dad just stared into blank space while his daughter talked to an invisible girl around there.

"Gretel, that is enough, young lady. Stop right now." Gretel also started crying.

"Anna, wait! Don't go please, we can talk about this. Anna! Listen to me!" she ran after her.

"Gretel? why are you crying, honey, i didn't mean it, okay? But i just dont get it. Who are you talking to? Aren't you too old to make imaginary friends now?" he calmly said while kneeling down in front of her daughter and stopping her by her shoulders to run anymore.

"Dad, i was talking to Anna. I made a fool out of myself today," and Gretel told her dad about everything after settling down next to where her mother laid faint while her dad heard and made soup for his wife. "Okay," he said after hearing the whole story but i still don't get it why i couldn't see your friend. Anna, tell her that she has a nice name."

"Yeah she told me it was short for Annabelle."

"Wow, familiar much? Annabelle the doll?"

"Dad!" she said chuckling, "You know what? It might be a co incidence that you didn't see her like you didn't see those metal bars of the front door that day."

"OH NO! you saw me? oh i feel horrible. " Gretel chuckled. They continued and forgot about the event temporarily but this new friend really struck Gretel's parents.

Hey guys! To those who read my story
Plz do vote and comment....it will be very nice of you.
Also I will be asking a different question every chapter and you guys can answer them in the comments. I'd like to know more about my readers.
So the question is
Have you ever been bullied? When was it?
I have never been teased but if it ever happened it never bothered me because I always come up with a fine comeback and otherwise I knew that they don't need to have any affect on me. So that's all. Also #letsstopbullyingforever
I am against that thing
And please if anyone wants to suggest any ideas, I will really like it. I am looking forward to see more votes and comments, that's an effective appreciation for me
Lots of candy,
Happy Miracle
