An Ocean Turned Crimson (A Shingeki No Kyojin Fanfic)

Seven: HOLY SHIT! SHE CALLED HER ZAD!

"HOLY SHIT!" Zada gasps.

"What is it?" everybody seems to ask in one voice.

"It's...it's from... my mum!" I choke out.

"Your mum...but you said at dinner..." Abel's jaw drops.

"Woahh." Blaise's eyes widen.

"Annie?" Durc says.

"Annie?" Dylan tries to look me in the eye however I turn to Zada.

"You're sure?" Alissa's sister Cherry Kawaii asks.

"Positive. Only one person can write with such an intricate swirly scrawl." Zada folds her arms defensively. I share a glance with my pallid skinned childhood friend.

Zada and I have been friends since we went to nursery school. We played dolls and pirates and princess, pirate princess. We played every girly pirate variation game we could think of as three year olds; hell stuff got more random when we befriended Harry and Tom at primary school when we were four. Then we played pirate princess cowboys and fucked up games like that.

Zada's parents were really close to my parents. When Mr and Mrs Cooper divorced when Zada and I were eleven, everybody was expecting it. Nonetheless it still stung for them to slip up. Zada's pre-teen years were spent going from mum's house to dad's house, she became glummer yet now now it was normal, one month at mum's, the next at dad's. Neither moved out of the area, solely so Zada could get an education.

Zada was taken under my parents wing durning the early stages of the divorce though. It made her more grateful toward me. I guess that's why when my parents split up; Zada, despite being physically closer with Carley made sure I was okay, she was constantly dragging me out to do things with her so then I was out of the way during a messy divorce; she even made sure we went to places that would let Alucard in...or we would go with Brad and the guys and one of them would pretend to be blind!

I try to smile but I can't as thoughts of my past in England come back. When mum vanished everybody was in shock. I might be eighteen oficially today but she's still my mum!

"Annie." Zada tries to say something comforting however she too seems lost for words; everybody does.

Zada opens her arms wide and I hug her however I don't know what to think or feel.

"Zad" I sob. "Zada."

"Shhh Annie." Zada holds me.

"I think I'm going to be sick." I whisper. "There are titans and she hated me when I would talk about anime; how is she fending for herself?" I gabble.

"Zad', let her go." Carley instructs. "She looks like she's going to vomit."

"HA! ZAD!" Kira topples off of the log she was sat on.

"Oh God you've said something that's funny in Russian." Shaun laughs.

"I'm going to." I stand up and try to work out what way it is to my room.

Dylan stands up pulling Durc's cuff; Durc and Dylan steer me toward a room. Dylan opens the door and I bolt into the bathroom and kneel on the floor.

This is so embarassing!

~(^v^)~ Time Skip ~(^v^)~

"Oi! Dylan! Your bitch is passed out by the toilet!" somebody shouts. I open my eyes and the world around me starts to spin.

"What the hell?" I groan.

"Ha look!" another voice snorts.

"Annie!" Dylan gasps.
