A few hours passed, Marcus came back with the material’s Victor needed, he then joined Anabel near the fire.“Did you miss me?” he said half smiling.“Maybe.” She said sticking her tongue at him. “So what did the angels say, is there still hope for me, or am I thinking and reading too much into this?” she said lowering her head hoping he wasn’t going to tell her bad news.“Well we’re kind of stuck right now.” He said shaking his head. “But they said if things start to go to hell here, we need to go there and Michael will figure out where we can go from there.” He said looking at her. “I feel like we have a pretty good chance here, we just have to be fast when we move.”“Alright.” Anabel said half smiling. She still didn’t feel better knowing the Angels weren’t going to be able to help, but she had Marcus so that made everything a little bit better. “I guess we’re just going to have to do this alone, that is fine. I rather no one else die because of this.”“Well we will have help, they
“This might hurt a little, but it’s going to work in your favor in the end.” He said closing his eyes, he summoned some kind of magic to get into her mind.It started to hurt, Anabel cried out in pain.Victor pulled Daniel away from her. “I told you to watch her, not do magic.” He growled.Victor turned around, Anabel was slumped over in the chair. “Damn it!” he said grabbing her. “Anabel open your eyes.” When she didn’t, Marcus picked her up and took her to her room. He then joined the two men downstairs.“What did you do?” Marcus growled.“She wanted her mind opened up, and that’s exactly what I’ve done.” Daniel said shaking his head. “It’s better then leaving her here unprotected, at least now Hecta might have a chance to protect her.”“You think opening her mind is going to protect her?” Victor said shaking his head. “I closed her mind so Meko wouldn’t be able to get close enough to mess with it, now you’ve reversed everything and we really don’t know what she is going to be like
“Well Anabel you don’t have all night.” Victor said rolling his eyes. “If you want Hecta out of you and you want our connection gone, then you should really just do it and get it over with.” He said closing the book. “I am going to go and get the stuff we need, I will be back.” He said disappearing.Anabel didn’t say anything to Marcus, she wasn’t sure he wanted her to do this either. She stood up and walked over to the window, she had a lot of thinking to do, and she wasn’t sure she could make the decision to let Hecta go, she was afraid she was going to get judged because she used magic to help her get her soul back.“Anabel.” Marcus said clearing his throat. “I don’t think you should do this.” He said walking over to her. “The only reason I would allow this to happen is to protect you, but I know you are thinking about this really hard, so I think you shouldn’t go through with it.” He said wrapping his arms around her.“What if it could save me?” she said without moving. “I mean I
“Something like that.” He said turning his back to her. “But with Daniel doing things to you, I don’t know what your powers are anymore.” He said looking at her. “I am hoping you have Hecta’s powers and I wont have to worry about you as much.”“I don’t know.” She said shaking her head. “As far as I know, I don’t have any powers, so I guess we will have to wait and se.”“Yes we will.” He said throwing a potion into the fire. “Now that is going to get someone to come here, we will test your powers.” He said looking at her. “You will then know I didn’t mess up this time around. If you try and attack me, I will put them back away, and this time I will allow Meko to do as he wishes, and I will wait for Hecta to come back.” He said walking away from her.“Fine.” She said folding her arms across her chest. “I don’t think I would kill you, well I would if you want to try something.” She said looking away from him. “But since you are trying to keep me safe, I guess I am going to have to be nic
Anabel didn’t say anything, she wanted to test him, but knew he wasn’t going to give her chance to. She sat there and watched Victor talk to Ricco, and then Ricco disappeared. “Alright I think I am done.” Victor said closing his book. “Alright Anabel you need to go and eat something and take your bath, tomorrow we’re going into the demon City, and we will find a nice place to hide you.” He said walking away from her.“Wait now you’re going to hide me?” Anabel said looking at Marcus.“Isnt that what you want?” Victor said turning to face her. “I mean all you and Marcus talk about is how you are going to go into hiding, I am giving you a place to hide.” He said turning around. “If you don’t want that place, then it’s something I cannot help you with.” He said as he walked away from her.Anabel looked at Marcus, he half smiled but he didn’t know what was going on either. He was kind of glad that Victor was trying to keep Anabel safe, even if he was going to kill her in the end.“So what
“So you are out of energy huh?” Elena said looking at her. “If you would have given into Hecta she could have helped you out.” She said taking a drink of her tea. “I thought she had you, but you are one strong mortal.”“She doesn’t deserve me.” Anabel said looking at her. “If it happens again, I will make sure I fight even harder this time.”“Honey where you’re going tonight, you aren’t going to be doing anything but obeying Victor.” She said shaking her head. “Hecta will be summoned, and she will have to decide what she wants to do with you.” She said getting up from the table. “It was nice knowing you Anabel.” She half smiled before she walked out.Anabel looked down at the vial, she wasn’t sure she should drink it. She didn’t want to be under Victor’s control if that is what it was going to be used for. “What is it?” she said looking at Marcus.“I don’t know.” He said shrugging his shoulders. He knew what it was, but he knew if he told her, she wouldn’t drink it, and this whole rit
Hecta walked over to Anabel, she could still feel something about the girl. “She stays alive for now.” Hecta said looking at Victor. “You’ve done well, I thought this was never going to happen.” She said walking over to him and kissing him. “Now that Marcus is gone, I’m all yours.” She giggled.“Good.” Victor said kissing her back. “Now it’s time for our war, we need to be prepared and we need to get to them as soon as we can.” He said shaking his head.“Don’t worry we will.” Hecta said looking back at Anabel. “As soon as she is awake, we’re going to take her to Pandora’s Box, I’m going to release some of my own toys, it’s time for me to show these other demons they are nothing compared to me.” She said walking out of the room and down the hallway.“So you’re going to keep her alive, why didn’t you keep Marcus alive?” Victor asked as they walked into the living room.“Um Elena.” Said almost spitting her wine out. “Hecta!”“Yes Elena I am back, and this time I don’t have a mortal tryin
“Well we will help you figure out where you need to go.” He said handing her a bowl of food. “The Angels are supposed to come tomorrow, maybe I will take you so you can go and see them and see if they can help you.” He said taking a bite of food.Anabel ate her food slowly, she was still sick from even before the ritual. She wasn’t sure if she was still pregnant, it was still early on, so she had to wait on that. If Victor came back for her, she would try and kill him even though their souls were still connected. She would go out in a blaze of glory when she holds onto Victor and drains him of his life.“What are you thinking about Anabel?” he said handing her some bread.“Nothing.” She said shaking her head. “I am just wondering if Victor is going to come back when I have my baby, if I even am still pregnant.” She said looking down at her stomach, she had fat, but there was a small bump forming.“I don’t know.” Nick said shrugging his shoulders. “If you’re pregnant the Angels are goi
“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
