She didn’t know what to do, so she slipped out of his hold and ran into the forest as fast as she could. She wasn’t sure what would happen to Pete, but she couldn’t wait for him to try and get away from them.
She ran until she couldn’t run anymore, and she managed to find her way back to the cave. Again she was without food, but she didn’t have to worry about the rain anymore. She was glad the storms stopped.“Anabel!” Marcus said appearing in the cave in front of her. Anabel tried to run past him, but he caught her. “Please stop I need to talk to you.”“No please I don’t want to die.” She said shaking her head. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”“Relax Anabel.” He said shaking his head. “I am not going to hurt you, the fact that you remember this place shows you know who I am.” He said wanting to let her go, but he knew she would run away from him.“Pete said you are going to kill anyone that you capture.” She said shaking her head, she didn’t want to look at him, but she couldn’t help it. Something about him she knew, but she didn’t know who he was. “I don’t even know who you are.” She said looking away from him.“I am Marcus.” He said relaxing his grip. “I run this place, how, where have you been?” he said shaking his head.“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She said wanting to run. “What did you do with my friend that man I was within the market?”“He is fine; we didn’t even know you were there until your friend continues to go on about me.” He said shaking his head. “You would have gotten away, but I had a feeling to come here.”“Well, I still don’t know who you are.” She said forcing her hands out of his grip. “Please just leave me alone, I am here to figure out where I am.”“Well you could come with me, and I can show you where you are. I don’t even know where to begin with you.” He said shaking his head. “The last I heard from you, you released me from my prison, and then you ran into the darkness and you faded into a portal.”“I woke up here.” She said shaking her head. “I have no idea how I got here, or who you are.” She said shaking her head, she walked towards the entrance; she wanted to run from him, because of what Pete said.“Please come back with me, let me take care of you.” He said walking towards her. “Please don’t run out there, you should know better about that, I can catch you faster than you can run.”“Well why didn’t you catch me when I ran away from you?” she said turning to face him. “I don’t think you’re that fast.”“Well we could always make a game out of this, but I want you to come back to the house, we need to get you warm and fed, this isn’t going to be a nice place to be in a few days, winter is coming and you are not dressed.” He said shaking his head. “So since I am the ruler of this realm, I am ordering you to come with me.”“Fine.” She said shaking her head. “I will run away from you when you are not expecting it.” She said walking closer to him. “So how does all of this work?”“Well hold onto my arm, and I’ll take you, but you cannot let go of me.” He said shaking his head.“Fine.” She said shaking her head. “I told you, you can do what you want right now, but I am going to run away.” She said taking his arm.“Good at least you are trying to come to terms that you have to do what I ask.” He half-smiled. “Alright don’t let go.” He said shaking his head.Marcus took Anabel back to the house, when she saw she was in a house she let go of him. “Well, this is kind of nice, and warm.” She said walking towards the fire. Her body ached for the warmth.“I will get you something warm to wear,” Marcus said clearing his throat.“I already have it,” Elena said coming down the stairs with a long robe. “Dremis told me you were after the human, so I prepared her room as well,” Elena said looking at Marcus.“Good,” Marcus said half smiling. “You can get changed upstairs with Elena if you want?” he said looking back at Anabel.“Alright.” Anabel half-smiled, she followed Elena up the stairs, Elena didn’t say around. She gave Anabel the robe and closed the door so she could change. Anabel walked around the room, something about the house was familiar, but she didn’t know where.After Anabel was done changing, she walked back downstairs and sat near the fire, she knew this wasn’t her house, so she didn’t want to just go into other rooms without permission.Anabel watched the fire for the longest time before Marcus came into the living room with a tray full of food. “I’m not sure what you feel like eating, so I made you a little bit of everything, I hope you like it.” He said setting the tray down and finding a seat near her.“Thanks,” Anabel said shaking her head. “I’m not sure when the last time I had a good meal.”“You don’t remember anything do you?” Marcus said questioning her. “What was the last thing you do remember?”“Waking up in that cave.” She said shaking her head. “I must have fallen and hit my head pretty hard.”“Well, Anabel you’ve been missing for at least twenty human years.” Marcus took a bite of her food, it wasn’t that bad, but he knew he could do better. He rushed around the kitchen to make her food.“Twenty years?” she said shaking her head. “What happened to make me go missing?”“I don’t know, that is what I’m hoping you can tell me,” Marcus said looking at Elena when she walked in. “She doesn’t remember anything.”“Well, that’s good.” Elena plopped down on the couch next to Marcus. “So that means we can tell her whatever we want and she won’t know if it’s true or not.”“Quiet Elena!” Marcus growled.Anabel ignored Elena, she wanted to know where Pete was. “Where did you take my friend, I want to see that you haven’t hurt him.” She said shaking her head.“Dremis?” Marcus said rolling his eyes.“Yes, boss?” Dremis said appearing near the kitchen.“Go and get Pete, Anabel doesn’t believe we didn’t hurt him,” Marcus said getting to his feet. “I’m going to prove to her we didn’t hurt him.”“Fine,” Dremis said disappearing for a second and reappearing with a struggling Pete.“Let me go!” Pete growled.Anabel stood up. “Please let him go.” She said shaking her head. “He’s the only one that I can trust out of all of you. You two can appear where ever you want and that’s kind of creepy, Pete at least he can take me with him.”“I brought you here, I can do the same thing Pete can,” Marcus said walking closer to Anabel, but she backed up. “Don’t worry no one is going to hurt you, Anabel, you are safe.’“Don’t believe him, Anabel,” Pete said dusting himself off because Dremis pushed him to t
“Don’t worry about that right now Dremis,” Marcus said rolling his eyes. “Right now she doesn’t know anything, she doesn’t remember anything. So that is going to play a good part in our world for us.” He said looking at Elena. “I need more of your magic.”“Alright, I can get some more,” Elena said walking away from Marcus. “What are you going to do to her?”“Don’t worry about that right now Elena,” Marcus said shaking his head. “I have a plan and this time I think it will work. I will convince her that Carlos and Misty are two people that are going to try and kill her.” Marcus said looking at Elena. “I need something that is going to make sure her memory doesn’t return, this will be a perfect ending to Angel’s quests, they will go on and forget about her, and we will have her and she will live her life out here, and we’ll see what happens.” He half-smiled.No one said anything, Dremis watched Marcus. He seemed calm for already having the Angels come to his door shortly after they foun
The bathroom door opened, and Anabel used the towel to dry her hair, and she almost jumped out of her skin when she saw Marcus sitting there. “Um hi?” she said narrowing her eyes. “I didn’t know you were waiting for me.”“Don’t worry I wasn’t waiting long.” He lied. “I wanted to talk to you about what you remember before we meant in the cave.”Anabel thought about it for a moment, she could make up stories to make him happy, but truly she didn’t remember anything. “I don’t remember anything.” She said shaking her head.“You don’t remember the Heaven vs. Hell war? Or the rituals?” he said waiting for her to start screaming at him because she remembered what he did to her.Anabel thought about it for a few more minutes, “no I don’t remember anything, rituals what’s that?” she said almost jumping on the bed. “There was a war I was in?” she said shaking her head.“Well never mind.” He said shaking his head. “I told you a story about all of this before you ran away and lost your memory.” H
“I wouldn’t do it pet,” Victor growled. “You know you’re going to lose whether you like it or not.” He said shaking his head. “We have plans for her now that we know Hecta could take an Angel, Legion wants her for even darker things.” He said showing his teeth.“Oh please,” Dremis said shaking his head. “You know you’re not going to win this, so you might as well give it up.” He said charging him, Victor countered him throwing him into the wall next to Anabel.Dremis reached for Anabel, but Victor pulled her away from him.“Carlos get to Anabel now!” Dremis growled charging Victor again.Carlos saw Anabel, he let go of the demon he was fighting, he quickly ran to Anabel, and then to the two. “Portal now James.” He growled watching for demons coming toward them.James summoned a portal, and Carlos was the first one through. “Oh my God, you’ve found her!” Misty said running over to him, Carlos walked into the living room and laid her on the table.“Yeah, Marcus didn’t lie this time.” He
“This is Amelia.” Misty said looking at Carlos. “Michael asked her to come and help me with some of the magic I’m going to have to do on Anabel to get her to remember only what we want her to.” She said looking down at the book. “So I think this is the spell.” She said pointing to it so Amelia could read it.“That might be it, but you’re going to need the help of a demon, do you know a demon that might help you guys?” she said looking at both Misty and Carlos.“Well we do know a demon, but I’m not sure if he would be willing to help us, but he might be.” Misty said shaking her head. “But he let us take Anabel, so he might be willing to help restore things.” She said looking at Carlos. “That means you and the twins need to go to his realm and see if he wants to help us?”“I don’t know if he is even there, we left him fighting Legion.” Carlos said clearing his throat. “But I guess we can check.” He said getting to his feet. “I need to see if Michael is done with the twins, if he isn’t I
“There you are.” Misty said shaking her head. “You like disappeared, we didn’t know where you were. I asked Tristan if you were with Anabel, he said no.” she said plopping down on the chair. “What are you making I’m starving.” She said trying to see what he was doing.“It’s going to be a little while since I have to start over.” He said shaking his head. “I was with Anabel, I was hoping she would have woken up so at least we could chat before she saw everyone else.” He said without looking at Misty. “But she didn’t wake up, so I came in here to see where everyone else was.” He said looking at her.“Well Elena went home, the twins are back and well I was in my room. I smelled something cooking and came in here to see you.” She said getting up from the table. “Do you want some help with that?” she said looking down at what he was doing.“No, but you can fill me into what you guys are going to do now that we don’t have Marcus to help us.” He said throwing some food in a dish and turning
Anabel opened her eyes, she was in a room she thought she knew but she wasn’t sure. Getting out of bed, she walked to the door the hallway was long and dark, there were a few rooms here and there. Looking back into the room, she didn’t know if she had anything with her in the room, at the moment she didn’t care.Walking down the hallway, she found another door. Pushing it open, it leads to a big room with some people there. Most of them looked like they were out of their mind, and she didn’t want to get near them.Anabel walked to the desk, but the lady didn’t even look at her. Again she thought she knew the lady, but wasn’t sure. “Hey excuse me, where are we?” she said looking at the room, it looked like a Doctor’s office, only she didn’t know why she would be there.“Sit down and we will call you when we are ready for you.” She said without looking up at Anabel. “Please back away.” She said looking up. “I will call for security if you do not back up.”“Alright.” Anabel said shaking
A few hours seemed to pass by, Anabel was bored out of her mind, she was hoping Carlos wasn’t outside her room. She wanted to walk around by herself and think more about what she was missing.Slowly opening the door, she looked in both directions, but he wasn’t in the hallway. Her stomach hurt worse this time, but she didn’t want to call for Carlos, she would find the food herself.Walking down the hallway, it opened up to a bigger room, people were eating, Anabel could smell the food cooking, she followed the smell until she came to a small café.“Hi can I help you?” a small man came around the corner. “Oh, you are Anabel.” He said pointing at her. “Carlos asked me to prepare one of your favorites.” He said handing her a tray. “I just finished cooking it, so it’s nice and warm.”“Thanks.” She said taking the tray and walking over to an empty table. She slowly ate her food, she knew what it was. It was some kind of Mexican meal, she wasn’t picky.“So how’s your food?” Carlos said sitt
