Okay, I had to add another chapter to fit everything in

I woke, curled up around my dress and wings. Groaning, I sat up and stretched. Yawning, I carried the clothes to the desk. Still in a kind of zombie state, I shuffled out of my room, to the bathroom. I ran the shower, and the small room filled up with warm steam, slightly fragranced from the drops of perfume my mother always put on the bottom of the shower.

Stepping under the hot water, I began to feel revitalized.

I also remembered.

The vicious memories of last night's events came flooding back like a tsunami.

Whimpering, I sunk to the ground, the water washing down my back. Putting my head in my hands, I intertwined my fingers in my hair.

He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. He's gone. He's gone. He's safe…

EDWARD.

Standing up abruptly, it was all I could do to stop myself from slipping. Turning off the shower. Grabbing a towel, I dried myself off and wrapped the towel around myself. Slipping across the hall, I darted into my bedroom. Closing the door, I threw the towel off and some clothes on.

"Anna? Are…are you okay?" Mum asked as I came down the stairs.

I formed the answer in my head as I said it,

"I…I just…I have to get some fresh air…I'm sorry."

Mum smiled understandably, "Take as long as you need, Anna. Be careful, okay?"

I smiled and nodded before grabbing my green hoodie, and pushing open the front door.

I looked around instinctively once I'd closed the door. Luckily for me, it was foggy outside. I pulled my hood up, and kept my head down.

Walking slightly faster than I probably should have done, I made my way to the Mansion.

I had expected the police, or detectives or…something, but there was only silence. Quietly, I jogged to the Mansion door.

"Hello?" I called,

There was no reply.

"Is there anyone here?" I didn't want to shout Edward's name, in case there was someone else here.

I crept across the hall. There was no sign of last night's events. The…blood…both mine and his, was gone.

"Oh God," I whispered, running up the staircase. When I reached the attic, I gasped,

"No, Edward!"

The attic was deserted.

"Anna?"

I whipped around, "Edward…" I whispered.

I ran into his open arms.

"I thought you'd left me…"

"I thought they'd found you…"

"No, I hid in the garden. In the shadows, near where my creator sleeps."

I looked up at him, "Edward I'm so sorry, I should have realized that they'd search the place."

He smiled, "It's not your fault."

Overwhelmed with happiness, I reached up, and kissed Edward, "I love you,"

I felt Edward's tear on my cheek, and I looked up at him. His smile was bigger than I'd ever seen it,

"I love you, Annabird."

Yeah, I'm a softy for happy endings
