Elisabeth's POV:

Glacier snuggled into me. I hugged her, glad she felt safe in my arms. I didn't blame her.

Later, we were on our dog walk with Luna. I lead Glacier round while Button barked, wagging her tail. She was so adorable.

"Are things okay, now?" Luna asked.

"We are planning something," I admitted. "Glacier is harmed by our headmistress, Luna!"

"We are angry at her, too!" Luna sighed. "Arianna and George have told me about her."

"She has a bad reputation." Said Glacier, sounding happier now.

"She does," sighed Luna. Most kids she has tortured kill themselves because of the things that bitch decide to do to them."

We gasped.

"I did not," said Glacier. "But I know of people because Scarlet and Winter told me."

Button got excited as we approached the field. Luna got out a ball and smiled. "Who wants to throw the ball for Button?"

"I'll do it," said Glacier leting go of me.

Luna put the ball in Glacier's hand. "Remember what to do?"

Glacier nodded. Then smiled at Button. "Ready, girl?"

Button barked, wagging her tail, looking at the ball. She nudged Glacier's hand to tell her she was waiting..

"Fetch," said Glacier throwing the ball a long way.

Button raced away, her curly tail wagging fast. I couldn't help but giggle.

"What's so funny?" Glacier asked.

"Let me show you with your hand," I said gently grabbing her left hand. "Button's tail was doing this."

I gently made her hand wag like Button's tail. Glacier started giggling. "So cute!"

"Ah," I said as Button came galloping back to us. "My turn?"

I picked the ball up and smiled at the dog. She went crazy.

"Go fetch," I said launching the ball away.

The dog ran back to find the ball. I looked at Luna who smiled.

"You haven't changed a bit, Elsa," she said. "Still the skinny person I knew you to be."

"I do lock myself away when that month comes," I admitted. "I guess I can't do that now. I'm here. I can't exactly run and hide for the month. You do know how horrible I can be."

Luna nodded. "You can't help feeling that, honey. Glacier's the same."

"What?" Glacier looked startled.

"You run and hide for the month when you remember what happened to the two of you," said Luna. "Not as much. But at the beginning."

"Ah, yeah," said Glacier. "I know she's safe now. But for Elsa, that's tricky for her because..."

"... Dad can't come back," I sighed, finishing her sentence. "How violent can you get, Glace?"

"Not so much, violent," said Glacier. "More like moodswings. And things like that. I used to be violent, though. Luna had a few bruises from me."

"Not as bad as you get," said Luna. "Out of the both of you, I think you are worse, Elsa. I'm sorry to say that. But I heard what happened the last time. That wasn't your fault. But it's not right to strangle someone."

I looked at the ground. "Luna. I don't want to think about that. I was punished enough already by Kyla. I hate myself for it."

Glacier put her arm round me. "First me, now you."

Tears were rolling down my face as she said that. She hugged me and looked in Luna's direction. "Give her a break about that, Luna. "At least she is in a better life now. I'm sure my dad will do whatever it takes to make you feel safe, baby." She kissed me.

I blushed a bit, despite the tears rolling down my face. "Love you, Glacie!" I sniffled.

Glacier held me close. "I love you, too, Elsa."

Luna looked at us. "You two are the cutest couple ever."

"Do you have a boy or a girlfriend yet?" Glacier asked.

"What sexuality are you, Luna?" I sniffled looking up.

"Bisexual," said Luna. "But I'm leaning towards girls more."

"I think Scarlet is pansexual," I said. "But she and Winter are dating. She told me."

"Aww," said Glacier. "It does make sense."

"Did you find someone in College or University?" I wondered.

Luna shook her head. She had the ball in her hand and launched it for Button. Then she stared at me. "Sorry, Elsa. I didn't mean to bring it up."

"Forget it," I said.

I did feel upset that she did bring up the fact I did accidentally killed someone during my tricky month. But let's not go there.
