“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
She groaned and opened her eyes. She found herself in a room filled with light. She groaned and slapped her forehead with her palm. What was she doing here? She needed to wake up. Damian needed her. He couldn’t hold Phillip off for so long. She walked around, looking for a way to go back but she knew that there was no way until she saw who drew her soul here so she decided to take a few deep breaths and then she turned around “Always impatient. I thought you would have dropped that habit by now” her mother said to her“No, mom! I can’t be here! I need to go back now. Damian, Alex, they need me! Phillip would kill them all if I don’t return! I can’t let that happen!” She wait to her mom“If you go back out there, you would die again! Phillip can’t be stopped my little wolf” she said “I know but I don’t care! It is my life or the entire Cordina! For so long, I hid in the dark. I thought that if I didn’t use my abilities, I would be a normal person, I would lead a normal life but I
“About that favor you asked for” Alex said to her“Yeah?” She said back “Why don’t you do it yourself? I mean, he took a lot from me too and that was probably why I was so hurt by the news of you working with him but I understand that you didn’t have a choice but right now, I am giving you a choice. You are a part of this family too and I don’t care what anybody thinks. You are fighting with me today, by my side because that is where I want you, that is where I would always want you so meet me in the study in five minutes because we would be heading out together” Alex said to herShe turned around and ran to him before jumping on him and kissing him in the process. He smiled at her and looked at her. “I know it is probably a wrong time for this but I am sorry I did all of that to you. I was avoiding my feelings and I didn’t want my emotions to cloud my judgement. I hope that you can forgive me and once all of this is over, you can give me the chance to make it up to you and you do
"You have to let your girlfriend go. How would you throw her in a prison just because of her past? Why would you do that? I have been dying to talk about this with you and you might probably not know it yet but I don’t see a reason to why you should have done something like that to your own girlfriend because of a mistake she made in her past!” Annabelle said to him“Her past? She was working with the man that took your life. You could have died permanently!” He said to her “She was! She stopped when she met you. She came in here and told me everything the day you threw her in prison. She was because she was left with no choice!” Anna said in Beth’s defense “There is always a choice! There is always another choice! I don’t care what you say or think, there is always another choice, another way!” he said to her “Anna, your brother is right” Damian said to her and she felt her eyes glow“What choice did she have? It was either she did whatever Phillip wanted or she lost her brot
“What is your problem? I understand that you don’t want me to find Annabelle but why are you so fixed on me giving up on her? Why do you want her here so bad? I know she wouldn’t give you her life without me and I am going to find her whether you like it or not but what is in it for you? What happens to you when I give up?” Damian asked him“I get to live. My life is in her death” he said to him, looking him straight in the eyes“I am sorry to announce to you that you are going to be gone really soon because I would not leave here until I have found her. If I don’t find her, I wouldn’t leave and then we can spend all of eternity together, looking at our faces till we get bored and tired of each other. I am ready to spend all of eternity here with you. I guess we are going to be nice housemates!” Damian said to him before he sped through the clubHe didn’t find her there either so he dropped on his knees, thinking of any other place she could be at. He decide to check her favorite th
Damian nodded at her before going through the door and he woke up. He looked at his phone and saw that he had only been out for three hours. He walked up to Anna’s room and saw that it was empty. She was dressed in a black dress and he touched her face, not understanding why they would want to bury her immediately. He heard a knock on the door frame and he turned around. He saw Alex dressed in black and he was in a suit “What is going on?” Damian asked him“As the surviving family of the deceased, I can decide when, how and where to bury her and I want to bury her immediately so you don’t do something stupid. She would be burnt in the river so that her soul may find peace” Alex said“You will do no such thing until I have tried every way to get her back! I saw my mom” he said“You saw your mom?” Alex scoffed“I know this is going to sound crazy but Anna is still alive and I need your help to get her back. I went to my mom’s room to cry my eyes out and I slept off. I saw my mom in
“What was that about?” Grace asked as she landed on her feet“I don’t know but I am about to find out. How much changed while I was out?” Damian asked her“I can’t say. Everybody keeps showing a different apart of themselves each day and I don’t know if there would be a worthy person to rule Cordina after everything is over” Grace said to him as she walked on. Damian sighed and thought about what she just said. They were trying to stop Phillip but how different were they from him now? They killed just because they felt they felt it was necessary. They killed without consideration and the one person who had always kept him in check was now the one leading the killing spree. It just didn’t sit right with him. He headed up to Anna’s room and he saw Alex on her bed side, holding her hand with tears rolling down his eyes“What is going on?” He turned as he looked as Sally“She is gone. There was nothing I could do about it” Sally saidHe walked up to her and started crying. He looked a
“What are you doing?” Sally asked her “Getting venom, what on earth does it look like?” She said to them “You are killing him! I can feel it!” Justin said “I have to do what needs to be done!” “What do you mean by that? You have to stop now!” Raphael said “Damian knew what he was getting to when he asked me to do this. He knew that there was a likelihood that he might not survive the process because he is still weak but Anna doesn’t have time and he made me promise not to stop for any reason. So if you can stop asking me questions for a second and let me concentrate then maybe I can save both his life and Anna’s!” She said to them “What did you do to Alex?” Sally asked her“I snapped his neck. It was the only way!” when said She dropped her hands and the venom was still floating in the air. She moved it with her magic and cut Anna’s wrist open before letting the venom seep into her bloodstream. She looked at her and Damian groaned. He moaned softly and Sally ran to him b
“I slept off? That’s crazy. I guess we had a hard time yesterday” Alex said “We definitely had a rough day yesterday. How are you and how was your rest?” Grace asked“Doesn’t matter. What is the update?” Alex asked her“Damian is awake, back on his feet. Phillip didn’t drain him dry so the remaining energy was used to recuperate and regenerate his strength. He should be back at full strength by noon but there is a bad news” Grace said “There always has to be a bad news. What is it?” Alex asked “It is your sister. She needs all the attention she can possibly get because I don’t think she would last the next seven days of we don’t do something about it” Grace said “Where is Damian?” Alex asked her“He still thinks that there is another way to go about this. He thinks that his venom is not the only way. He doesn’t want to risk it” Grace said “He must be out of his mind! Where the hell he is?” he asked her “The study” she said to himHe got up and threw his robe around his
“Go ahead, try to kill me! You have tried before so try again but remember that the harder you try, the longer you wait and the longer you wait, the longer you get starved of the power that you need. Damian is not on the table but I am! I can give you the power you want. You want an hybrid so feed on me!” Alex said to himPhillip smiled and looked at him.“I am listening” he said “I would give you the power you need. I would make sure that Damian and Anna never come for my body so you have the endless supply of power that you want but I want something in return” Alex said to him “What do you want?” Phillip said“I want you to leave Anna, Damian and the whole of Cordina alone and I want you to hand over Arielle to the authorities of Cordina!” Alex said to him“What do you want with Arielle?” he asked“She deserves to die for her betrayal. If she can betray me then she can betray you too. Besides, you want an endless supply of power. What do you say?” Alex said to him“Deal” Phi
