“Ah.” Marcus said rolling his eyes. “I guess we’re going to have to finish this when I get back, I will try not to be long.” He said kissing her on the cheek. “Stay in bed until I come back, I don’t want you hurting yourself or falling or anything.” He said walking away from her.Anabel didn’t feel like getting out of bed, so that order was okay with her. She laid her head back after she finished the punch. She knew she was probably making the wrong choice, but she had to stay there, something was going to happen to Marcus and she had to be there to make sure it didn’t happen.Anabel ended up falling a sleep for a few more hours before she felt good enough to get out of bed, she slowly walked down the stairs looking for anyone, but no one was home. Someone knocked at the door, but she wasn’t sure if she should get it. She slowly opened the door.“Can I help you?” she said looking at the small man.“Well I am looking for Marcus.” He said looking up at Anabel. “He told me to come around
“I thought Legion was in charge, now you are?” Anabel said picking up her head, she was hurting but she wanted Victor to continue to hurt her, she had hope Marcus would feel her pain and would come and save her.“He was.” Victor said shaking his head. “He’s another demon that thought he could do whatever he wanted, and in reality I was always the one that made the moves.” He said without looking at her. “I am the one that will be summoning Hecta, you should be pregnant by the end of the blood moon, and then we will get married and that will be the end of your feelings for either one of them.” He said shaking his head.“You really think I am going to marry you?” Anabel said shaking her head. “You have another thing coming, and I will kill you when I have the chance.”“Threats are pointless Angel girl.” He said getting up from his chair. “Don’t worry I intend to keep Marcus alive long enough for him to see him lose you all over again, this time there isn’t going to be anything to save y
Anabel wasn’t sure what they were going to do to her, she wanted to try and escape again, but she knew Victor was a lot smarter then she was, and he was probably half expecting it. She closed her eyes and wished Carlos or Misty would hear her call, but no one came.“They don’t care about you, and if they did they would have never let you out of their sight.” Victor said coming towards her. “I know you don’t want to be here and you would give anything. I will let you go when I am done, but who knows when that will be.” He said laughing at her.“I don’t care what you say, I know Marcus loves me and he will come back for me.” She said looking at him. “So I would enjoy what time you have with me, because this is going to be the last you see of me.”“Ha!” Victor said throwing the book aside. “I’ve known Marcus a lot longer then you have, and I know he doesn’t care for anyone but himself. Hell when we first met he was such a baby I had to do all the killing. Why do you think Legion bows dow
“Now you’re going to have to drink this.” He said looking down at Anabel. He squeezed her cheeks until she cried out in pain. He then placed his thumb in her mouth and poured the liquid into her mouth, most of it going down her throat, at the end she ended up spitting the remaining out. He let go of her for now.“Now for the final piece.” He said summoning a dagger.“No please don’t!” Marcus said trying to get free of the chains, but he couldn’t. “Please Victor you don’t have to kill her, she can do a lot for us.”“Silence Marcus.” He said picking Anabel up, she was kind of out of it. She struggled to keep to her feet. “I am going to devour your soul taking your heart.” He said trying to stab her, but Anabel disappeared.“Anabel.” Carlos whispered, open your eyes.” He said picking her up. “Misty!” he yelled for her to come.“Where?” Misty said shaking her head. “Where did she come from?” she clearing a spot for Carlos to lay her down.“I don’t know she was on the porch, I am not sure
“Fine Anabel if that is what you want.” Carlos said shaking his head. “I guess I am going to have to do what you’ve asked, otherwise I know you’re going to go on your own.” He said looking at her again.“You’re damn right I would go alone.” She said playing with the bubbles again. “I don’t want you going because I know they will use you against me, or use you to get me to do what they want.” She said shaking her head.“Did they use Marcus to get what they wanted?” Carlos said narrowing his eyes.“Well yeah.” She said without looking at him. “I almost let them kill him, but then I couldn’t. there is something about him that I love, and I know you’re not going to understand that, but I really don’t care.”“So then you are going to have to let me die, I’m going to heaven so you don’t have to worry about me suffering.” He said shaking his head. “But I do know you love me too, and wouldn’t want something to happen to me either.”“Of course not.” Anabel said dipping her head under water, sh
“I know me too.” He said looking down at her stomach. “I wish I would have ate before I died, but I guess the food probably wouldn’t have carried over.”“Maybe not.” She said looking at him again. “I am going to wander around, I will be back in a little bit.” She said walking away from him. She wanted to find out what that door lead to, and if Victor was still on the realm, she would have to avoid seeing him.Anabel watched the people around her, there were a few more people that wanted to stop and talk, but she wanted to find a way out of there. She didn’t care if she had to be around lava, as long as there was a way around it, she could find out how to get out of there.“Where are you going?” someone said watching Anabel walk closer to the door. “She is going to get herself in trouble if she goes!”Anabel didn’t want to stay around, the best way she knew how to get out of there was through Victor, even though she knew he probably would kill her as soon as he got her out of there. Sh
The boy didn’t say anything, Anabel got to her feet and walked around again. She did want to ask the guards for help, but she knew it was just going to make them threaten to hurt her worse then she was then. She watched the guards open and close a door some of the souls were going through. She wondered if that was where the portals were, she needed to get in there before they closed the door again.Walking closer to the door, she waited until he opened it. She tried to sneak past him. “No I don’t think so.” He said grabbing Anabel’s arm. “I am sure Doom will take you, he is on his way up.” He said laughing. “Now get away from this door, this is going to be the last time I warn you.” He growled.Anabel turned around and walked away from him. “When are you going to learn?” Heidi said coming towards Anabel. “Why don’t you come and sit with us for a little while, I am sure it will make your time here better.” She said putting her hand on Anabel’s back, leading her to the group.“Everyone
“I really hope he doesn’t find me.” She said shaking her head. “He has someone I love, but I don’t think I should go with him, I know he is going to kill Marcus.” She said looking down at her hands, she felt sick to her stomach. “Is there somewhere where I could lie down?”“Sure right through that door, there is a bedroom on the right.” She said pointing at the door. “I will let Doom know you went to rest if he needs to speak to you. Have a good sleep.” She said going back to what she was doing in the fridge.Anabel slept for a few hours before she joined Doom out in the living room. “Sorry I didn’t stay awake, I was exhausted.” She said still with dirt on her face. “So what are you going to do with me until your meeting?”“I’m going to put you back in the mine.” He said giggling. “I’m joking; I guess you’re going to have to stay here until then.” He said shaking his head. “There is nothing I can do to help you out until then. But you are welcomed to take your bath, sleep and do whate
“I didn’t come here to fight, but if that is what you want?” Meko said summoning a fireball and throwing it at Victor, Victor dodged it, he hit Meko with some different kind of magic.Anabel grabbed ahold of Marcus’ arm, she wasn’t sure what she could do to help them win this war. She knew Meko was going to try and kill her and he would probably try and kill Victor too. She wanted to try and summon some kind of magic, but her body felt too weak.Another explosion near Anabel forced her away from the group. Sin appeared and caught her before she hit the ground. “Got ya!” he growled.Anabel tried to get out of his hold, but he held her tight. “I don’t think so.” He giggled. “I know Meko has lots of plans for you, and this time we’re going to make sure he can finish it.” He said looking down at her. “Right now you’re going to watch your friends die, and then you are going to do what we ask.” He said as more demons appeared joining in on the fight.Something hit Sin in the back, he releas
Anabel didn’t say anything, she wasn’t sure what Meko would do. She wasn’t even sure Meko cared about the baby or anything. “So are you thinking Meko wants to hurt our baby and doesn’t care if she lives or dies?” she said clearing her throat.“I don’t know.” Victor said shaking his head. “I know if I was him, I would use her anyways she will be valuable, so he might keep you alive until she is born.” He said looking at her. “But if he just wants to kill me, then he will try and kill you.”Anabel didn’t say anything, she didn’t want to think about death and everything that came with it. She knew her friends would continue on without her, she wasn’t even sure they were still looking for her. Anabel hoped Misty was working on something to get them back together so they could fight the demons together, but she wasn’t sure if Misty knew where she was.“Well we could always wing it.” Marcus said clearing his throat. He didn’t like the uneasiness from everyone. “I mean I am sure Meko is prob
“Well Marcus you wont be going with her, and yes I will have my eyes on her. She isn’t going to be harmed, not unless she wants to be.” He said looking back at Anabel. “I know you are more then curious to find out where I want to send you.”Anabel didn’t say anything, she didn’t want to see where she would send her. Hell she wanted to send Victor somewhere else, but she knew she didn’t have the power to do that. She looked at Victor and then Marcus. “I wont go anywhere unless Marcus is with me.” She said shaking her head.“Well what would be the fun in that?” Victor said shaking his head. “I wanted to show you what I can do to scare you, but if you want your boyfriend to go with you, he’s going to make sure you don’t get scared.” He said rolling his eyes. “I guess I am going to have to send you off alone when you aren’t expecting it.” He giggled a little.“I doubt you’re going to be able to do that.” Anabel said shaking her head. “And even if you do, I am sure the Angels or myself can
“So what you think we’re just going to fight for you?” Anabel said shaking her head. “If that is the case, you better be prepared to lose.”“I don’t lose Anabel.” Victor said walking over to her with some punch. “Here I need you to drink this, so you can have at least some kind of chance when I need you.” He said letting go of the cup when Anabel took it.“What if I don’t want to be a part of this?” she said looking down at the cup. “You know I could just not do as you ask, and then you are going to have more issues.” She said looking at Marcus, he had a look of worry.“Well Ms. Knight if you continue to test my patience, I am going to show you just what I can do.” Victor growled. “I really don’t have time for your bullshit, so ow if you don’t mind drink it and shut up.” He said squeezing his eyes closed. “I am going to force you to do everything and that means giving me my daughter.”“I am not going to allow you to do that.” Marcus said taking the cup from Anabel before she had a cha
Once on the other side, Anabel wasn’t sure where they were. Marcus and Victor walked through next. “I don’t know what you are doing Anabel, but I hope you have something up your sleeve, you know once we’re here we cannot leave.” Victor said shaking his head.“Well I wish I would have known that before I did this.” Anabel said shaking her head. “But no I do not have a plan, he was going to kill you, and well I don’t want to die, so I had no choice.”“No she didn’t.” Meko said walking with two demons. “Welcome to my world.” He said looking at Anabel. “You surprise me Anabel, Marcus gave you a way out and yet you still linger with him, you do realize you’re not a demon right?” he said walking over to her.“Yes I know.” Anabel said looking at Victor. “I also have to protect my life since he was careless in his spell.” She said shaking his head. “So yes I have to be here, I want to make sure he doesn’t get out of hand and put my life in danger.”“Smart move I think Anabel.” He said turning
It seemed like hours went by, nothing happened. Marcus returned with a few other demons, more demons started to show up. “Alright I think we have enough so if he wants to play we can make him suffer.” Victor said getting up from the chair. “Anabel try and stay away from the other demons that are coming here, they want you.” He said looking at Marcus. “Make sure you keep her safe, if she gets taken I will be mad.” He warned.“Don’t worry he isn’t going to get close enough to her to take her.” Marcus said shaking his head. “I will die before I allow that to happen.”“Good.” Victor said looking at Hecta. “If she gets hurt you are to make sure she is shielded until Marcus gets her out of here, we don’t need my daughter falling into the wrong hands, they are going to do a lot of bad things to her.”“Well you have a lot of time.” Anabel said shaking her head. “I am not due for a while, and I doubt he is going to want to take me until maybe the last few weeks.” She tried to make the situatio
“Your boyfriend is too paranoid.” Hecta said shaking her head. “I mean I don’t blame him, but you cannot do my rituals so it is no sense that we change places again. I have helped the Angels and got them involved into our war, we shall see if they come and aide us.” Hecta said pushing open the door, she walked in. “Here.” She said handing Anabel her dress. “You will look beautiful in it.”Anabel changed into her robe, she looked at herself for a long time before she came back into the room. Hecta half smiled when she saw Anabel. “I told you, you would look good in that dress. I am glad I picked it.” She said walking towards Anabel.“Thanks.” Anabel said looking down at herself. “I don’t know why you want to include me in your rituals, why?” she said looking at Hecta. “If you think this is going to change the way I feel about demons, it’s not.”“I don’t expect it to do anything.” Hecta said shaking her head. “But if it does change your mind, I think that would be a good thing.” She smi
Anabel didn’t say anything, she didn’t want to go round and round with Victor. She wanted to be back with the Angels, so they could make a plan for the pending war. She wasn’t sure if the Angels wanted to help with the war, she hoped they did because Victor brought Anabel back into the picture.“So why did you take Marcus from me?” Anabel said looking at Marcus, but he didn’t turn to see what Victor would say. He didn’t say anything, Victor just drank his wine and watched what Marcus was doing.“Why aren’t you answering me?” Anabel said shaking her head. “I know you did it because you wanted some kind of control over me, but how does it feel that you don’t have any control over me?” she said folding her arms across her chest.“I don’t know Anabel how does it feel to have anything?” Victor said looking at her. “Because I can take everything you have and put you somewhere, where you cannot do anything, but deal with torture and pain, would you like me to show you that?” he said getting
Nightfall came, and it started to get cold in the dungeon. No one came down to get her that night, she curled up in a ball and fell asleep. The next day she was up before Carlos was, she didn’t talk to him. He felt bad she was still down there, but she survived the night and he hoped they would come and get her.“I’m sorry.” Carlos said clearing his throat. “I thought he was going to come down and get you, I guess he really is being a dick.” He said shaking his head.“I’m fine Carlos.” Anabel said without looking at him. “I know you want to be strong for both of us, but please just be quiet.” She said shaking her head. “I will make it through until God comes for me, until then just be quiet.”“I still am sorry that I haven’t been able to help you.” He said walking over to the bars. “You can hate me for this if we make it through.”“Shut up.” Anabel growled. Her hands started to glow, she felt something coming through her. “What is this?”“I don’t know.” Carlos said looking at her. “Yo
