Chapter 3
" You are on a misty beach. Feel the sand under your feet, the mist resting lightly on your skin. Use your mind to force the mist away, imagining the mist as the evil as you push it away, being forced out of you by you." Setsuna's voice lulled Annie into a trance-like state.
She was there. Annie could feel the grainy sand getting between her toes and itching. She could feel the cold penetrating her clothes, as many layers as she had put on. And she could feel the evil. Cold, clammy, and trying its danmednest to take her back.
She tried to conjur up the silver powers of her mind, but she couldn't. The mist wouldn't let her. She pushed, but it pushed back, hard and cold, wrapping around her like a slimy eel and squeezing thighter and tighter.
" No!" She screamed, her eyes whipping open and she stared around the room wildly.
All she saw was Setsuna, Amara, and Hotaru watching her calmly.
" Oh my god I am so sorry!" She groaned, hiding her face in her hands. " This is the tenth thng we've tried and it all goes the same. I work my hardest to not let the evil get me but it still does. Forget it Setsuna, I'm doomed."
Annie flung her hands wide and looked at them all. " I'm evil, so why don't you just kill me now and get over with it?" She closed her eyes and opened them to find herself staring into Hotaru's dark eyes.
" You listen to me." She said quietly. " I was evil once, but I fought, and I was weaker than you'll ever be. You're not evil and you will make it, even if I have to drag you through every cleansing meditation I know!"
Hotaru sat back, looking a little surprised at herself.
" Hotaru, you don't understand! These cleansing rituals aren't going to work! I need something bigger, like Sailor Moon's healing thingies." The door opened and in walked the Inner Scouts, Haruka, and two girls Setsuna had never seen before.
" Speak of the devil." Annie muttered.
Serena spotted Annie and rushed over to her.
" Are you okay? Do you feel like killing people?" She shouted.
" Geez Serena," Annie pushed her away and stood up. " I'm evil not deaf!"
Serena smiled, embarassed and blushing.
" Well I think she looks just fine." Lita stated, folding her arms against her chest and leaning on the door frame.
" Trust me, I'm not myself right now." Annie smiled in her direction and Lita got a little chill down her spine.
" Well, I'm not one to judge others," Mina started, but shut up when the others flashed evil glares in her direction.
" Look, we'll just keep up with the mediations for about a week more and see what happens. If nothing gets any better, Rei or Setsuna can inquire on the other planes and see if anything else will help. As for now, I am very hungry." Amara said, and when hearty agreement met her offer to take them to lunch, they went.
