“Do you want to tell me what’s wrong? You’ve been staring at me for almost five minutes. Did I grow horns on my head?” Justin said “I have to go!” Sally said, running off Justin grabbed her by her arm and pulled her towards him, his face, inches from hers. She felt the world stop for a second. She wanted him. She had denied herself the pleasure of having him in her arms just because she was always busy“You have to go? What do you mean by you have to go? You called me here!” Justin said“I know and I’m sorry. I really wanted to talk but something came up and Anna woke up!” she saidShe ran off“What do you mean by Anna woke up?” Justin asked, rubbing after her“I need to find Damian!” she said She opened the door to the study and found Damian and Alex sitting there, talking about heaven knows what“What is going on? You look pale, almost like you’ve seen a ghost” Alex said “Give me a moment, let me catch my breath” she said to himShe had all of them staring at her for a secon
“I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad one” he said to Damian “That totally depends on you. I really don’t like my fine being wasted and that is exactly what you’re doing” Damian said to him“Mind their manners. What is your condition?” Sally asked, eager to hear it and find a way around it “You let me join your little crusade and we find Phillip together” he said“Hell no! We don’t need you or your help. Heck! How do we even know that we can trust you?” Alex asked him“Because I know that Annabelle doesn’t remember you. I know she is dying and only Damian’s venom can heal her but it can also kill her. I know you are cheating on Arielle with Betty and you met Betty weeks ago! I know Odette is involved in all of this and so is Isabelle. I have information and you don’t. It’s a win-win if you asked me” he said “I still don’t trust you. What is going on with you? How do you know so much about us? Who sent you?” Alex asked, all at the same time“Are you mad because I kno
“And what makes you think that she would talk to you? Do you know what damage she could have done without us knowing about it?” Sally argued “But she didn’t!” Alex said, defending her“How do you know? We have always wondered how Phillip has always been one step ahead of us. She was the one feeding him with information. C’mon, Alex. I know you feel some sort of emotion for her but it is an obvious explanation. Every time Phillip has beaten us at our own game, people had died. My mom, Caleb! Your mom! We don’t know the exact amount of damage that your girlfriend had caused. How can you still want to reason with her?” Damian asked“She is my girlfriend okay and Phillip might be manipulating her for all we know. She has been there for me through thick and thin. She has been there for all of us! I don’t want us to make a mistake that we would regret later on. She has an explanation for all of this! Arielle isn’t someone to switch sides on the people she loves. She has an explanation.
He let out a sigh and continued on his journey in his own mind. Did he really push her away that bad? Why would she want to be with someone that had caused him nothing but immense pain and hurt? There was no way that was his fault. Arielle had been distant way before he met Beth. She was always saying she needed space“Space from what exactly?” Alex yelled at her one time she said this to him again “What do you mean by space from what? I just want space. Can’t I have my personal space? Must I be around you every time?” she asked him back “What personal space are you talking about? I have barely been here because we have been looking for Annabelle and I understand if you’re upset with me for being so distant but Ari, please. Don’t ask for space. It would only pull us apart and I don’t want that” he said, trying to be reasonable but that didn’t workAll she did was leave the room and spend the night with Sally and the next day, she moved out of his room after asking Damian’s mom for
Damian moved from her and she kept screaming in pain. She reached out for him but he moved away. Justin ran into the room and looked at him“Damian, what did you do?” He asked, standing in between the both of them“I swear, I didn’t do anything. I was just talking to her and I touched her and she started screaming” he said “Why is there blood on your hands then and why is she bleeding?” Justin screamed at him He looked down at his hands and saw that Justin was right. He could have sworn that he had just talked with her. Sally ran in after him and moved back. Her eyes went dark and her fangs came out. She went for Damian but he caught her by the neck and threw her across Anna’s bedroom. He stopped “I don’t want to hurt any of you. Can you just listen to me?” he screamed He felt something carry him and when he could gather himself, he found himself in the dungeon in his own house. He looked and saw Alex standing at the other side of the gate“What do you think you’re doing?” he sc
“Grace! I can’t believe you’re here” Damian said as he hugged her “Neither can I. It is so good to see you to, D. How have you been? Well, except from trying to defeat magic without the help of someone that has magic?” She asked“We have a lot to catch up on, Grace. I was hoping that we can talk about things…” “Damian! This is not the time to start to catch up on whatever years you guys have been apart!” Alex interrupted , reminding him of their current dilemma “Right! Yes. We have an entity that has control of Anna’s body and we have no idea where she is” Damian said “What kind of entity?” She asked “One powerful enough to take control of an hybrid” Justin said as he groaned back to reality “Oh, hey there. I didn’t think you would ever reach out except hell was freezing over” Grace said to him“Well, hell is freezing over. Can you help us?” Alex asked“Yes I can but first, I need to know what kind of being has control over her. What has her actions been so far? How has
Grace turned to look at him, wondering how he knew exactly what she needed. Alex seemed to have read her mind because he answered her unsaid question “This is not out first time with a demon possession” Alex replied “Spirit, not demon” Grace said “I really don’t care what it is. I just want it out of her” Alex said “Fine, how do we get it out of her room then because none of us can go in there” Damian said The front door opened and Raphael walked into the house and was surprised to see all of them there“Having a meeting?” he said “Not really but I’m glad you’re here” Damian said Damian have him a summary of what was going on and he was shocked because he wasn’t aware of any of this and he was always aware of everything. Phillip might be more dangerous than he thought after all, he concluded on that “So, what exactly do you need me to do?” Raphael asked“I need you to get her out of her room” Grace said “No, it won’t work. You can’t just walk in there and go, hey Anna,
“I would like to see you try!” She said Damian moved close to the circle and looked at her. “Are you really going to risk your life just for someone that doesn’t even remember you anymore? She doesn’t know you and she would never end up with you! Why are you doing this to yourself?” She said “She is trying to get into your head! Damian, don’t let her” Grace said “I can stay in Annabelle and we would be happy together. You get to love your Annabelle and I get to live in her. Everybody goes away happy” she said “She is not Annabelle of you’re still in her” Damian said to herGrace started to chant some words and Annabelle fell to her knees. A black cloud rose above her and Grace looked at Damian “No matter what happens, you have to fight her. She would take the face of Annabelle and she would feel like Annabelle. It is Annabelle but it’s not all Annabelle. You have to win that fight so that Annabelle’s energy can return back to her body. You are the only hope she has” Grace sai
