1. Beginning of summer

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS

The math teacher was explaining something about the square root and how to solve it, but Annabelle wasn't paying attention. She stared at the clock waiting for it to ring two o'clock. Today it was the last school day. Annabelle longed for summer to come because on vacations she would go to Pennsylvania for an ice skating competition and also to visit some of her friends. A couple of days ago she had written a letter to her best friend Pippa, and her friend had agreed to let her stay in her house as guest. She was very excited.

Finally the bell rang and all the classmates cheered, throwing notebooks at the air and sending papers flying everywhere.

"What time is it?" A classmate yelled.

"Summer time!" they answered.

"What time is it?"

"It's the time of our lives!"

The brunette saw the teacher leave the classroom quickly and almost knock down the door at the same. She chuckled, noticing some of her classmates write messages on the whiteboard. They read:

'School is over!'

'Summer arrived!'

'Until next year!'

The brunette finished putting all her last books on her bag and walked to the front as she wrote something on the board.

'Have a nice summer!' –A.

Just the first letter, she decided, there was no need for her whole name due to she was the only one whose name started with an A. She smiled, lifting her blue hoodie up and she left the classroom. On her way to the school entrance, she found some of her best friends besides the now-empty-lockers, probably finishing collecting their things.

"Hi, girls," she waved as she walked towards them. A chorus of voices was heard back saying: "Hello", "Hey Anna!", "What's up?"

Yoleen was the first one to greet the girl with a hug even though she was a bit shorter than Anna. After her, Olive and Ray hugged Anna too. Elinor, Tammy, Ophelia and Emily just waved back from their place.

"Are you going to the party tonight?" Ray asked, for the first time her sleek hair was arranged into a ponytail and not free like every single day of the year. Anna pretended to be offended.

"Of course I'm going. It's the last party before I leave to Burgess. We have to celebrate we're finally out of school!" she said, reminding them of her journey.

"Right, when you go to Burgess, promise to write us every day?" Yoleen said. Anna bit her lip in doubt of keeping such promise, she would be busy, but for sure she would make time for her friends.

"Maybe not every day, but frequently is for sure," she replied.

"But of course you'll write us!" Olive exclaimed, making the others jump. "You wouldn't survive a week without us!"

The group of girls laughed because they knew it was more or less truth. In fact, none of them would survive without each other.

"I'll see you at 7pm, right?" Ophelia asked.

"Yup, hopefully I'll be ready in time." Anna said, at what some girls chuckled because they knew when she said five minutes, she meant an hour. It were rare the occasions when she was ready in time. The laughter was silenced by a noise and it took three seconds for Anna to realize it was her phone. She took her iPhone out of her bag and caught sight of a little number one highlighted in red, at the corner of an envelope. She opened it and realized it was a text from her mother.

I gtg to the office. Some problem on the system I have to check. Ttyl. Love u, Mom

Even if the daughter wanted to smile, she wouldn't help but heavy a sigh. It wasn't the first time something like this happened; it was the fourth time that month. Supposedly, Annabelle (or Anna for short) and her family would spend her last day in Brownsville together, and tomorrow morning she would take a flight to Pennsylvania super early. But it seemed the plan had changed, just like it always did in occasions like this. Anna simply answered the message with a:

Ok, Luv ya.

And then she put her iPhone away. She raised her eyebrows in surprise when she found seven pairs of eyes staring at her.

Anna had no choice but to explain what happened and sadly, tell her friends she would not go to the party because someone had to take care of her eight year old sister, Liv. Her friends understood, but they were not happy about it and neither was Anna.

She said goodbye at them and then walked out of school, riding her bike way home. The brunette quickly arrived and left her bike on the garage, before entering her house with the copy key they kept under their "WELCOME" carpet. Since her twenty year old brother, Dallas, was not home, she had to suit herself with a bottle of Nutella chocolate and walked upstairs to her room. She only wanted to clear her mind and try to understand why things like that happened. Why her. Why every time. To her surprise, Anna found her sister lying in her bed, with a book opened in half resting in her face.

"What are you doing here?" Anna entered to the room and sat on the chair besides her desktop, taking her shoes off and placing a heel on top of the desk, leaning her back against the chair as she ate the Nutella.

"I was bored." Her sister's voice sounded muffled and the book moved up and down when she talked. "Mom left because something was going on at her work and left me with nothing to do. I've already fed Pusheen two bowls of Whiskas, if you were wishing to know. He's getting fat, did you notice?"

The teen raised an eyebrow and got the spoon out of her mouth. "Ya mianf iphen moth then hee alphew eeph?" she asked with her mouth full. She could feel Liv frowning under the book pages as she removed it from her face.

"What?"

She swallowed. "You mean even more than she already is?"

"Oh. Yes." Liv put the book back on her face as Anna rolled her eyes.

"If you didn't give him more food than she's supposed to have per day, maybe she wouldn't be a furred pig."

The little girl finally sat up on the bed and put the book aside. "Why do you call her a pig?" she asked.

"Because that's what she's turning into," Anna shrugged.

There was a meow and a round-haired grey mass with black stripes walked between Liv's legs, purring and calling their attention.

"What do you want?" Anna asked tiredly. "You won't have more food until tomorrow. And don't even try the kitty eyes!"

The kitty let out another meow. Her name was Pusheen and she was a birthday present for Liv a month ago. Of course she got to choose the name, which actually fit the cat at the moment even if she was only a month old.

"Wanna watch a movie with me?" Liv asked as she picked the kitty up, which purred as her owner scratched her gently under her neck. Her little sister had green eyes and brown hair reaching just below her shoulders. She wore a yellow blouse and purple skirt, and a pair of shiny tennis shoes.

"Anything but Frozen," Anna replied, gaining a pout in response. It wasn't the fact that the movie was awful, in fact it was cool - no pun intended, but the song was just irritably catching. She was almost sure she could not bear hearing the song one more time or she would lose her head.

"Hey! You like to watch Gravity Falls!"

"So? It's not like every episode they sing irritable songs. The one time they did, it was rather funny. It's completely different," Anna said, turning her laptop on and looking around for her headphones.

"Mom says cartoons are for kids," the eight year old said, due to the fact her mother said they could be studying instead of watching TV. So when Anna went to her friends' houses they used the opportunity to watch as much TV shows as they could.

"Let me be, would you?"

"Ugh, fine."

The big sister flinched at the noise the little sister caused when she slammed the door as she left. Then the teen put on the headphones and played one of her favorite songs.

I don't know where you're going, but do you have room for one more troubled soul? I don't know where I'm going, but I don't think I'm coming home. And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead". This is the road to the ruin and we're starting at the end...

Alone Together from Fall Out Boy. She used to hear music because she felt it helped to let go of her emotions and relax.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Yeah?"

There was silence. The girl shrugged and continued doing her things, when suddenly something startled to tickle her at her sides.

"Dallas haha! N-No, haha stop! Hahaha hahaha!" Anna jerked her body and gave a few kicks in the air, laughing so hard she and someone else fell to the ground. Sitting up, she confirmed it was her brother. His hair was so blonde it was almost white, and he had ice blue eyes. He wore a white t-shirt, a dark blue leather jacket with red and white stripes on the sleeves, black jeans and blue converse, and he had a golden chain with a tooth on his neck, which had carved a "D".

"...admit it was fun..." he said breathless, his arms spread apart.

"It wasn't," Anna said between breathes, although failing miserable to hide a smile. Dallas always knew how to cheer her up or to make her laugh even if she only cracked a smile.

"C'mon sis, you were laughing at the top of your lungs." He pulled himself into a sitting position and smirked. "You can't deny this ain't funny!"

"It's not... At least is not always." Anna sat back on the chair just when a couple of hands covered her eyes. "Dallaaaaaassss."

Dallas moved his head so his sister felt his breathing on her ear and smiled at what he was about to do. "You know what I want babe..." he whispered, sending a shiver through her spine and holding back a groan. Anna hated when her brother talked dirty.

"Then go and look out for Rachel," she snapped. Rachel was Dallas' girlfriend and she was three years younger than him.

He turned the chair around so the younger one was facing him, then he carried her bridal style and fell to the bed with his sister still on his arms. "Give me what I ask, and nobody'll get hurt," he said in a threatening tone, but in a low voice.

"Okay..." Anna squeaked. As she felt her brother let go, she suddenly grabbed a pillow and hit him right on the face with it. He yelped in surprise, rolled over the bed, and fell to the ground. He showed up seconds later and Anna couldn't help but laugh when she noticed his hair was ruffled with feathers.

"It's on, you little cheater!" he said with a grin.

For about five minutes they had an epic pillow fight until she ended somehow on top of him, but she was too lazy to move off.

"You givin' up?" he asked. She just hugged him and said something with her voice muffled because her face was lying against his warm chest. Dallas guessed his sister's words and hugged her back.

"I love you back, sis... Hey, gimme some lighters, would you?"

Anna rolled her eyes, knowing what he was referring to. "Yeah, but leave quickly, unless you want to set the house on fire."

"Pff, I ain't stupid," he said as he walked towards her drawer and started looking out for a box.

"Yeah... I can't help but doubt about it."

Anna turned at him just to confirm he found it, and yes, he had. He held in his hand a package of cigarettes.

"Be back late," he said lastly before leaving her room through the window.

Boys these days, she thought.

Dallas smoked since he was between fourteen and sixteen years old. He used to gather around with a gang of his at nighttime, which they called "Dragon Riders". Every once in a while they had rumbles with other gangs such as the "Dragon Hunters" - their worst rivals, "The Outcasts" or "The Berserkers", and almost no one had any idea of their origin.

Say "yeah, let's be alone together", we could stay young forever. Scream it from the top of your lungs, lungs, lungs. Say "yeah, let's be alone together", we could stay young forever. We'll stay young, young, young, young, young...

Anna took off her headphones and put them on the desk as the music kept playing before she went to Liv's room to check on her. She was watching a movie, one Anna hadn't seen before.

"Hey Liv, whatcha doing?"

"I'm watching a movie, wanna see it with me?" She offered, moving herself already so her big sister could lie down on the bed too. Anna smiled and got comfortable on the bed, as she looked at the movie her little sister was watching. She frowned when she didn't saw the walking snowman and the reindeer on the screen.

"What movie is that one?" the teen asked curiously.

"It's a movie about Dragons," the little girl said, as her sister raised her both eyebrows in surprise. A movie about Dragons? That was new for the little one. She exactly wasn't a fan of them, and if Anna was honest, she wasn't either. But she did see them from a different point of view from all people. They all believed they were scary and dangerous, she believed they were just misunderstood. Not that she was an expert on creatures, much less on those.

"Why are you watching this?"

"I don't know... I turned the TV on and it was the first thing I saw, so I left it. I've been watching the movie for a little while and I'm beginning to like it a lot."

If Liv liked it, I should give it a try, Anna thought. As the movie continued, she remembered one of her best friends, Ahti, said something about it. It was his favorite and after watching the movie, Anna could get why.

Her mother arrived two hours and half later and bought a pizza on the way back home. The brunette only wished Dally would have stayed, so the four would have had dinner together for the first time in so long.

After dinner she went back to her room to sleep. The sooner she slept, the sooner summer would arrive and she was totally looking towards that. However, Anna woke up at the middle of the night. She looked at the digital watch on her iPhone and eye widened.

11:56 PM.

Really, it's not even tomorrow.

She rubbed her eyes and went downstairs to the kitchen for a glass of milk, as she remembered the dream was about the movie, about her being inside the story and meeting the Vikings and training with Dragons. It was amazing, and it was the best dream she had in five years. Did she really love the movie that much?

Annabelle walked through the living room and stared for a moment to the window. When seeing nothing out of the ordinary, she returned to her room and went back to sleep. As her head hit the pillow, she was out before her iPhone rang 12:00 AM.
