What is up everyone?
So this is for guest #1 who asked if Annabelle was dead or if she was just in a coma. Annabelle is dead, but is stuck here on Earth. She refuses to go to Heaven until she is able to find her family under any circumstances. But, she also wants to torment others who have loving families. So…yeah she's dead.
I own nothing but dead little Annabelle…
Jake knew she was here. His dream last night told him just so. She was in Dirt somewhere, tormenting another poor soul until it found its own peace in death. He didn't know where she was now, or if she was even in Dirt. But he just had to find her. He avoided the citizens, especially Rango, who kept worrying over him without any explanation. Jake slithered through the town, looking for anything out of the ordinary. Whenever he found something he would slither over to get a closer look. However, he came out empty handed every time. Until he went back to the mayor's old office….
There was a young female rabbit standing by the huge window where the mayor's desk had once been. She was twitching and gasping for air. Jake cautiously moved closer to the young woman, but stopped when she turned around. Her eyes were black, soulless, and tears streamed down from them like small rivers.
"Annabelle?" Jake asked the rabbit softly. He knew she was in this poor creature, somewhere….
"What do you want?" a little voice rasped from the throat of the struggling woman.
"I want to know if you're Annabelle."
"I am."
Jake moved a little closer, but stopped when she took a step back. He took a deep breath before speaking again. "Ya need to let 'er go. She's goin' to die if you continue."
"I don't care. She deserves to die just like all the others." Annabelle said venomously.
"Why does she deserve to die, Anna?"
"Don't call me that!" she screamed. Jake slowly began to wrap himself around her with caution.
Annabelle flinched slight, but stood her ground as the rabbit continued to gasp and sputter for air. "I'm sorry. I won't do it ever again, okay?"
Annabelle slowly nodded before responding. "I…I'll let her go."
Jake watched as the woman's eyes turned from black to their normal color of blue, and as she collapsed to the floor in a gasping heap. He wasn't concerned for her, really. He just wanted to see Annabelle. And he did. Standing over to woman with a dark look on her face, was a minimized human girl who could only be Annabelle. She looked nothing like she did in Jakes dreams. In his dreams, she had silver hair and bright blue eyes that shined in the dark. But, here she had chestnut brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and dried blood on the side of her head and her right knee and shoulder.
She looked up at Jake after expecting the crumpled woman at her feet, and gave a small smile. Jake couldn't help but smile slightly back. He finally found her. He just couldn't believe she was here in front of him. Annabelle looked around, seemingly dazed. She looked down at his strong coils, which were still wrapped around her and the unconscious rabbit. Jake watched in amusement as she reached out to play with one of his scales.
"Are you going to punish me for being bad?" she asked with a not so raspy voice, but a sweet one.
"No, why would I?" Jake replied with a smile still on his face. Annabelle looked back up at him in confusion.
"I almost killed her."
"Yes, I know. But I'm not goin' to punish ya for it."
Annabelle still didn't seem to understand. "Who are you, then?"
"I'm called Rattlesnake Jake 'round here. Or the Grim Reaper. But, you can just call me Jake like most do."
"Is that your real name?"
"No, but don't worry about that."
"Where are we?" Annabelle asked while looking around the room with small amounts of confusion.
"This is where I sleep. It used to be the old mayor's office before he died."
"Oh. Why do you sleep here?"
Jake chuckled. He didn't realize she would be so full of questions. "I sleep here because I have nowhere else to sleep."
Annabelle yawned tiredly. That's when Jake realized something. He was able to touch her! Wasn't she supposed to be dead? He looked down at her with a raised brow while she cuddled into his coils like a small child. Before he could say anything to her she was already asleep. He finally found her. She was finally with him….
