Dark Escape
Brazil was supposed to be a new start. A clean slate, nothing from the past could reach her there. After taking many back channels Annmarte had arrived at the old villa that she had inherited. This time she would not get involved in anything to do with the people around her. Walking down the dirt road she glanced over her shoulder nervously. They had been hunting her relentlessly, all she could hope for was that the society had been foolish enough to follow the false trail to England. For a moment she felt guilt for the women that she had set up to fall for her. After a moment the brief flash of guilt left, that women was horrid to everyone a deserved this. Wiping the sweat from her head she smiled softly as the villa stood before her. When the lawyer dealing with her aunts will and told her it was a small villa the man must not have understood the meaning small. In front of her stood a beautiful villa enclosed by tall black iron gates. Her apartment would have fit in the sitting room she decided as she walked about the house. Perfect. Absolutely perfect! She thought. At that moment her cell rang. Flipping it open she smiled and than answered.
"Talk to me."
"Annie you have a wonderful way of answering, no hi or how are you doing just straight to business." And man voice said from the other end.
"Thomas, you know me I'm the get it done type of girl none of this lets stand around and chat." She sighed a little, perhaps she did owe him a little after all there was no way that she could have escaped with out him. "How are you?" she conceded.
"Well without you darling very lonely." He laughed a bit " no I'm good the kids are good the old lady is good everything is good."
"Okay, now that's out of the way. What news do you have for me."
"Looks like they toke the bait." She could tell that he was smiling and very proud of all of the work that he had done.
"Good. It has been good knowing you Thomas." She smiled softly. It hurt to have to let her friend go but it put them in danger if they kept in contact. " I'll contact you if anything goes wrong. You watch out for Andrea and the kids all right? I don't think that I could bear it if something happened to them."
"You sure you want to do this kiddo? You know that you would be safe with us Andrea could protect you along with us." His voice broke a bit as he spoke.
"Chin up big brother. I've wanted to come back here. Its time that I deal." Silent tears flowed down her face as she spoke. "You know I love all of you but I can't put you in danger. I'll contact you around Christmas. Be watching for my presents."
"Later lil' sis." With that they hung up.
Annmarte slowly lowered herself in to a chair. As she sat there she looked at the phone in her hand. She was leaving behind a life that she had worked very hard to create. Taking in a sharp breath the phone slipped from her hand and fell up on the tile floor. The phone broke neatly into three different pieces. Picking it up she tossed it into the garbage. The house was stunning, it was filled with beautiful earth tones with speckles of gold and silver. Inside the main bedroom there was a beautiful view of the vast forest that lay at the back of her land. Smiling she felt drawn to them. Before she knew what she was doing, Annmarte was writing in the air. It had intrigued her why she always seemed to do it. Character after character she wrote, along the window, the door, the floor and the ceiling. For some reason after she did it she always felt at ease. As though nothing could harm her so long as she continued to do it. Leaving her room she set out to write along all of the walls in the house.
