PROLOGUE: One Year Later

"Yo, Anne!" A voice rang throughout the apartment, echoing on the walls. Accompanied by the repeating knocking at the door, the voice continued to call to me.

In the bedroom light poured through the window, landing directly on me. I shifted and let out a soft groan. Soon I sat up and stretched, yawning and rubbing my eyes. After a bit I heard the voice and groaned louder, getting out of my bed and heading to the door.

"I'm up! I'm up!" I shouted at the voice, opening the door and frowning. "Shut your mouth before you wake the whole building, Osmosis."

"Then get up the first time!" The cell retorted, walking in.

I sighed and closed the door, walking to the kitchen and making two cups of coffee. Handing one to Osmosis, I leaned on the counter and took a sip from mine. "What is it the chief wants now?"

"Why is it always something with work when I come here in the morning?" Osmosis replied, smiling. "Why can't I come by on your day off without you assuming work is involved?"

"Because last time you did it was because of my dad, remember?" I replied, showing him the chain on my arm.

"Oh yeah." He replied, smiling. "Well this time it's not work related. Thought I'd take you and Drix out today just to hang out. Maybe stop by your favorite shops or something." He explained, drinking his coffee.

I smiled a bit at him and drank from my cup, setting it down. "Seriously? That's so nice of you."

"Of course! I figured since you rarely get days off like this, I'd treat you to a nice day out." He replied, handing me his cup. "Now go get ready. I'll come get you at ten."

"Sounds good!" I smiled, placing the empty cups in the sink. "Now get out of here so I can get ready!"

"You got it!" Osmosis replied, leaving the apartment.

Ever since what happened last year, my life has never been better. I've been promoted on the force once I was healed up so I am not an apprentice anymore! Now I am the force's first virus cop. What's more is that I've been helping the force with making new tools to help with catching criminals. One of them is a gun that, when shot at someone, some ropes shoot out and tie the legs and arms of the criminals together so they can't get away. Almost everyone on the force has one now and they all love it.

I've also gone to schools and events to help be a representative for the department and teach kids how to be safe. Some kids were scared because I am a virus (more specifically El Muerte Roja) but they weren't scared once they learned I help keep them safe. A lot of kids now love when I go to events like that. The especially love the claw (it is a crowd favorite).

Honestly part of me wishes Thrax was still around. Ever since I found out that he was my dad, I wanted to talk more to him about everything. With him dead, however, that is something I cannot do anymore. The other part of me is happy they're gone, especially Almira. The scar on my right side of my abdomen also does not miss her.

I've also been more open about my virus type since the incident a year ago. I changed my outfit so my claw was not hidden, even though I do not use it. I always have Thrax's chain on my right wrist, since the department allowed me to keep it. They figured it would be safer in my hands and not in a room, since someone could break in and steal it. We do not need another incident like that again.

Back to present day, I washed up and picked out my outfit for the day. I put on a red sports bra and blue shorts with a black belt. I put on a black jacket, which is light enough for me to wear and different than the one I wore before. I slipped on my signature boots and fixed my hair into a ponytail. I put my police badge and gun into my bag, just in case I need it. I usually hold my gun on my hip, but since it's my day off, in the bag it goes!

I went out and turned on my television, beginning to clean up the kitchen. I listened as the mayor spoke about the 1 year anniversary since Osmosis and the gang saved Frank from Thrax. He chuckled a bit to myself as I listened to him praise us, which is the complete opposite to how he treated us last year. I'm also glad Drix stayed here to help us on the force. Life has never been more great for me.

As I washed out the last mug, my lighter finger began to twitch suddenly. I jumped and dropped the cup, seeing it shatter on the floor. I looked at my claw and raised a brow, watching it until it stopped. It hasn't done that in a year, It only does that if something bad is going to happen. "But nothing bad will happen today." I told the claw, cleaning up the broken mug and listening to the television.

Nothing bad can happen on my first day off in a long time.

Can it?

Author's Notes

I'M BACK!

I'm so sorry for being gone for so long! I was so busy finishing up college (graduated last year (whoot!)) and been super busy with work! I only recently got my kick into writing again!

I had a dream a while back with Thrax and Anne in it, so here I am finally with the sequel! I've been binge listening to "Welcome to the Show" by Britt Nicole because I feel like it's a perfect song for Anne!

I still have a few things to figure out with this story, but I know for sure what I want to do with it and I am so excited to share it finally!

ALSO! If you want to have your OC in this sequel, whether as a cameo or otherwise, please feel free to PM me! If you do not have a fanfiction account, I do have a Tumblr (AllyCharms) that you can talk to me on! Feel free to ask me and we can talk about what we can do! Of course I will give you full credit for the character! I do not intend to steal anything!

I will try to update this as frequently as I can, but life comes first (as you all know).

I may actually start writing chapter 1 now! I'm so excited to write and be back with Anne!
