Awakening Anna Novels & Stories

“Nocturne. Whatever grudge we have, it should never involve a woman. You’d better pray she’s unharmed. Otherwise, I’ll wipe every one of your bases off the map.” The helicopter descended nearby, snipers locked and ready. Lorenzo carried Anna up without hesitation. … When Anna woke again, night had fallen. Her body shifted weakly. Her throat felt like it was on fire. “Water…” Her voice was barely a whisper. A strong arm slid behind her shoulders, lifting her gently. A glass touched her lips. She drank greedily. “Slow down,” Lorenzo murmured near her ear. “Take it easy.” She forced her eyes open. Her head spun. Her limbs felt heavy. Her body temperature was higher than normal.

“Mother, figure it out yourself!” I lifted a trembling hand as my vision flooded with blood. All I could do was watch the three of them rush away without a backward glance, carefully supporting Isabella as they disappeared. Warm liquid slid down my temple. With what little strength I had left, I thumbed the emergency dial. “Help…” The call connected as the world went black. When I woke again, the room was, once more, empty.

She sat there for a long time. Not panicking exactly. Not crying. Not doing any of the things she might have expected herself to do. Just — sitting. With two lines and a bathroom and the particular stillness of a woman whose brain had received information so large it hadn't yet figured out how to process it and had temporarily suspended all non-essential operations while it worked on that. Anna was waking up. Someone had tried to kill her. Neo had said what if I've already chosen. And now this. She looked at the test one more time.

My back slammed hard against the floor, the air knocked out of my lungs. Around me, the room shattered. Glass cracked. Walls trembled. The people behind me were thrown aside, some hitting the ground, others struggling to stay upright. “No containment field is holding,” someone shouted. “It’s collapsing!” I forced myself up, ignoring the pain shooting through my body. My eyes went straight to her. To Anna. She was no longer standing. She was hovering. Just slightly above the ground. Her hair moved without wind. Her eyes glowed faintly, not bright, not dramatic, just enough to make it clear something inside her had fully awakened.

Chapter 187: Anna had suddenly woken up in this room after falling unconscious. She hadn’t managed to see the face of the person who had struck her before falling unconscious, but she was sure as hell that the person who had brought her here was the same person who had kidnapped her kids.

"Wake up! Wake up!”, Georgia!" Anna’s voice was frantic, shaking her hard. "You’re burning up!" Georgia gasped, her body jerking awake, and her eyes flying open. Sweat drenched her skin, her body trembling violently. Pain clawed through her, deep and relentless. The memories… the nightmares… they never left her alone. She barely registered where she was until Anna cupped her face, forcing her to focus. "Stay with me, G. Breathe," Anna commanded, her tone firm yet desperate.

I would personally see to it that she was stripped bare of it all. I picked out my phone from my bag, my hands still shaking slightly from the unusual, ice-cold stare Ashley had given me the moment she just woke up. That look, it didn't belong to the fragile, easily manipulated girl I had spent years managing. The whole session had completely disoriented my entire day. I had rushed here straight from the high-stakes atmosphere of the boardroom the very second I heard the news that Ashley had finally regained consciousness.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in a hospital room. Fortunately, I had called the police. Both Edith and I were rescued. Evelyn's voice came. "Edith, you haven't eaten for a day. I've brought you food." I looked up and saw her cutting fruit into different shapes, trying to feed Edith. Edith was annoyed, but when she noticed that I was awake, she raised her eyebrows proudly and took a bite of the fruit.

“Awakening.” --- As the sigil glows brighter, Alexander realizes Project Rebirth has only just begun and Elena’s awakening might not be something he can stop.

“It listens. It responds.” “Oh God…” My shaky hand lifted to my stomach. “No. No, no, no….” Because it didn’t feel like sickness, it felt like an awakening. A crawling pressure climbed up my ribs, hot and cold all at once. My vision blurred, and a violent pulse throbbed at the base of my skull. I squeezed my eyes shut, but that only made everything sharper, the movement under my skin, the tightening around my lungs, the whispering sensation spreading through my veins.
