" Elsa destroyed my entire dance career ! " she screamed , her face contorting . " You deliberately taught me the wrong moves ! You tore my ligament on purpose so I'd never dance again ! The judge slammed the gavel down , lips tight . " Witness , control your emotions ." " Control ? " Quinn let out a cold laugh , eyes wild . " And how exactly am I supposed to do that ? " She grabbed a water boule and hurled it at the screen . " Play the memory ! Right now ! Let everyone see what this vicious woman did to me ! " Elsa sat quietly at the defendant's bench . She felt nothing She'd endured these accusations far too many times already . If Quinn was so desperate to show the world the truth , so be it . * As you wish . " The judge raised a hand , activating the playback . P With a scowl , she tossed a tablet to the floor . " Why do your videos get over a hundred million views while mine can't even hit a hundred thousand ? " Elsa kept her head down , silently scrubbing the last tile . She'd had this exact conversation countless times since the night she won the championship . " Teach me , " Quinn suddenly grabbed her wrist , eyes burning . " Teach me now ! I want the trick that'll make me go viral overnight ! " There are no shortcuts in dance ," Elsa said , yanking her hand back without hesitation . " You can't even do a basic turn- " Smack ! A sharp slap echoed through the studio . Quinn flexed her reddened palm , sneering . " Don't act so noble . If Mom and Dad weren't forcing you to teach me , do you think I'd ever touch your filthy hands ? " Out of the corner of her eye , Elsa saw two figures appear in the mirror's reflection near the door . Felix and Mandy . Mandy was holding Quinn's favorite mousse cake . " Elsa , Quinn is still your sister , " Felix said coldly . He looked at Elsa the same way he might look at a piece of malfunctioning equipment . * Starting tomorrow , teach her three hours a day . No- " He noticed Elsa's swollen cheek and corrected himself . " Start tonight . " Elsa wanted to refuse . But the memory of Felix's cold words silenced her . " Feet shoulder - width apart . " Elsa stood by the mirror and demonstrated . " The first thing to learn is weight transfer . It's the foundation for all spins- " " Ugh ! So annoying ! " Quinn kicked the yoga block aside . Hands on her hips , she looked down her nose at Elsa . " I want to learn your most viral move - the aerial flip ! " " Now ! Right now ! " Elsa gripped the barre and explained patiently . " That move takes three years of foundation training . " " Three years ?! " Quinn gawked at her , convinced Elsa was just messing with her . She snatched up her phone and yelled into it . Dad ! Elsa says she won't teach me until I'm fifty ! She's dragging this out on purpose ! " On the other end of the call , something shattered . Mandy's shrill voice rang out through the house . " Elsa ! We've been too kind to you , haven't we ? " " If you can't teach Quinn the opening move tonight , you can sleep in the basement ! " P 11:00 p.m. In the studio- Quinn hit the floor for the fourth time . Furious , she picked up her knee pads and hurled them at the mirror . " Why do I have to practice these stupid moves ?! " " I've never seen you do any of this ! You're hiding all your real tricks ! " " Your pelvis tilts too far forward … " Elsa reached out gently . " If you want to take dance seriously , you'll have to start with alignment correc- " " Don't touch me ! " Quinn suddenly screamed . " My ankle ! " " You did that on purpose ! " The door burst open . Felix stormed in and saw Quinn curled on the floor in tears . Elsa's hand hovered just above her ankle . " What are you doing ?! " Felix grabbed the barre and swung it . Elsa stumbled into the mirror , taking the blow head - on . " Get Quinn to the hospital , now . " Mandy came running in with the first - aid kit . " As for you … " She flung gauze at Elsa's face . " You're not going anywhere. Stay here and reflect ." " Don't even think about getting up unless we say so ! " The memory shifted to a hospital hallway . Quinn's leg was wrapped in a cast , propped up high . Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed to Felix and Mandy , " The doctor said … I'll never be able to dance again …. " Instantly- The comment stream erupted in fury . " There's no saving Elsa after this . She was holding Quinn's ankle ! " " Knew it . She's not innocent . " " She's a monster . Look how brazen she is ! " " Ungrateful snake . Makes me sick . " Send Gifts 20 P.
