Annie pov
Flash back
"Annie," my mother states making me turn around and look up at her.
"Come here we have to put this on you." I look at the black fabric thing in her hands as I walk to her, I furrow my eyebrows up at her confused.
"What's this mommy?" I ask as she wraps it around my stomach.
"Its a waist trainer Annie." My mother states as she clips it, I furrow my eyebrows at her. My 5 year old self didn't understand what a waist trainer was.
"Its hard to breathe mommy. What's it do?" I ask her as a smile makes it to her face as she looks down at my now skinny waist.
"Its to make you pretty, don't you want to be pretty like Iris?" My mother asks.
I nod my head as she then puts a dress that is two sizes too small.
My breathing is short and restricted but I don't complain, wanting to be as pretty as Iris.
**(end of flash back )
I jolt awake at the sound of my phone going off.
I answer it quickly and hear Navi's voice over the phone. "I'm home Annie, come greet me!" Click
I sigh as I roll out of bed and go to the bathroom and quickly brush my teeth and put some light make up on. I then walk into the closet and put on some khaki pants and a blue dress shirt with black sandals.
I walk out of my room and down the hall.
"You get the call to?" I turn my head and see Daniel and Riley.
I nod my head and stop, letting them catch up.
We quietly walk down the stairs, all of us preparing to see what Navi has planned.
I look up and see a smiling Navi but my eyes widen at who is beside her.
"What the fucking hell Navi!" Riley spits and Daniel growls.
"Hi guys I'm sure you've missed me!" Jacy waves at us a wide smirk taking over her face.
My eyes widen at the small dots around her lips from where they were shown shut.
"What is she doing here?" I ask as calmly as possible as I look at the girl who stabbed me.
"Desdemona needed me so here I am!" Jacy smiles while flipping her hair behind her shoulder and smiling at us, mischief sparkles in her eyes as she takes us in.
"Desdemona?" I ask tilting my head causing Jacy's smile to widen if possible.
"I told her she should switch names, out with the old, in with the new." Jacy explains.
"Hell no, Desdemona is way to much for me to say, I'll stick to Navi." Riley grumbles glaring at Jacy.
"No you all will call your Queen Desdemona, please dear." I grit my teeth as I feel the command through my body.
"Fine," Riley grits out.
I am surprised that Riley doesn't take her powers away, though as much as I wish she would I knew as of now we couldn't, Desdemona brought her back for a reason, we need to play along and find out why.
"Daniel, could you please get the council ready? The meeting starts in 5." Desdemona commands causing Daniel to simply nod and turn on his heels and walk out with his fists clenched.
"I'll go get my laptop." I state as I turn and quickly lock eyes with Riley.
I turn on my feet and start walking, I hear Riley mumble something before shortly following behind me up the stairs.
"What the fuck." Riley grumbles under her breath when we are finally out of ear reach.
"Tell me about it." I state as we walk down the hallway to the office.
I open the door and walk in with Riley on my tail.
"This is not good, not good." Riley states running a hand through her long hair.
I grab my laptop and look at her. "No but we need to stay calm and feel this out." I say looking at Riley with a pointed look.
She rolls her eyes at me as I walk past her.
"We can't 'feel this out' for to long Annie, or it won't end well. Whatever Navi is planning can't be good or Jacy wouldn't be involved." Riley explains as she spits Jacys name as though it burns her mouth.
A heavy sigh leaves my mouth "I know I'm sure the plan will be explained at this meeting." I state as we end up at the meeting hall. I walk in and set up. A few other members of council walk in and sit at their respected seats at the long rectangular table. Soon the room is full, Daniel sits next to me and Riley sits on the other side facing us.
Navi walks in a smile on her face as Jacy follows behind.
"Hello everyone!" Navi states cheerily as she walks to her seat at the head of the table. Jacy stands a little behind her eyeing everyone as she sizes us all up.
"Thank you for stopping your busy day to meet with me." Navi smiles at us all.
Always smiling. The kind of smile that makes chills run through your body, to your bones.
"We are going to start something new, to help destroy the evil in this world," Navi starts making Riley and I quickly make eye contact before looking back at Navi.
"I propose fairies. Maybe witches if they are powerful enough." I start to pick my nails in anticipation of what was next to come from her mouth.
"We are going to scan people from birth. If they have have 10% or more of evil or corrupt energy they will be killed, that way, we will be pure good." Navi smiles at her proposal making my eyes to widen significantly.
Protest fills the room, the council members completely against this.
I don't make a sound as I look to Riley who looks to me.
"Silence!" Navi shouts causing everyone to look at her quickly in anticipation.
"Its settled, we will do this, I'll be meeting with the other countries and every country will do this." Navi smiles. "This will lower the population there for opening more jobs for people therefore lowering the unemployment rate." Navi smiles as she explains her idea, though all I hear is the insanity talking.
I breath out deeply as I look back at Riley.
"No we can not do that, people will die, you are not a God, Navi." Albert growls out as he glares at Navi.
With a slight move of her hand an icicle goes through the mans neck causing me to jump.
"Any more questions?" Navi smiles at us all waiting patiently.
"How do you think the other kings and queens will take this Queen Desdemona." I try my hardest to keep the strain from my voice.
"That's why I have Jacy, she will order them to follow through."
Navi has thought this whole thing through.
I glance to Riley who is glaring daggers at Jacy and my eyes widen as Riley stands and points to Navi.
"I love you, but you're insane. This is insanity and you know it. And you!" Riley points to Jacy. "I knew I should have killed you when I had the chance."
"I'm out." Riley ends as she walks out of the room slamming the door behind her.
"I'll go change her min-" Jacy starts but Navi holds a hand stopping her.
"No let her, she will come to the conclusion I am right on her own."
I swallow harshly as Navi's plan replays through my mind.
How am I going to stop this?

The making of Glitch:
Annie was never meant to be more than a side character. But with everyone loving her, even as going far as becoming a favorite character to most. I decided to make her a representation of hope.
