The Last Victory

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Sailor moon people, but Sophia, Annie, Christine, and all of the Epox.


Chapter 4


A week passed by and no progress was seen. Annie kept having violent nightmares and the mediations didn't help any. Sophia and Christine didn't know what to do until one afternoon.
" Annie, could you come here?" Sophia called from the living room of Rei's house.
Annie scampered up from the kitchen table and ran to where Sophia was, but tripped and in her haste to keep her shirt from riding up, something flew out ofher pocket.
" No!" Annie screamed, srabbling for it, but Sophia was quicker, snatching it out from under Annie's nose.
She looked at it, looked at Annie, then looked back at the thing she held in her hands. " No wonder you haven't gotten any better! You kept this!"
It was a black amulet that shone with an angry inner red light. It was the shape of an elgonated oval on its side.
" I had to! Jamie said that if I didn't have it, the Epox would drain my life away and I'd end up as a zombie!" Annie wailed, drawing the attention of Christine and Rei.
" Rei, I think you should burn this in the fire." Sophia said, voice flat and emotionless.
" No no no no no no no!" Annie chanted.
In the end they had to tie Annie's behind her back or she'd have turned into Sailor Nevermore.
" Great Fire, please accept this offering of evil and cleanse it of it's sickness." Rei intoned, then she threw it on the fire as if she couldn't bear having it in her hands anymore.
" No!" Annie screamed, writhing like a cat in a bag, screaming and hitting out at things.
But she went unheeded. The fire had turned black with veins of silver, sparks flying everywhere but dying before they had hit anything. Annie got herself loose and stood, glowering at them all with an evil smile on her face.
" No, ot my amulet! How could you? You cold-hearted bitch!" Annie flung herself at Sophia and slapped her hard across the face.
All was silent, except for the fire which had returned to normal and as dying down.
" Oh no Sophia, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!" She wailed, moving towards the blond girl.
But Sophia ran to hide behind Christine, tears running down hr face.
An eerie light filled Annie's eyes and she flung herself out the door. She ran again, but this time they didn't catch her.
