Chapter 30- Angel of Darkness

"Annie, do you remember when you would sit backstage at your father's concert and talk to… Josh…" The word came out with great displeasure, as if Jayden were tasting something bad, "While your father performed?" He finished hurriedly.

"Yes…" Annie nodded.

Jayden sighed, "Well," he said, "I used to sneak into the theater and one day I heard you and… that boy… singing together." Annie nodded, the realization of Jayden knowing her for a long time coming over her. "Everyday I would I come back just to listen to you tell each other stories and sing along with whatever play was being performed at the timed."

"You were there?" Annie asked, pulling away from him, a look of shock covering her face. "All the time? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to lose you, Annie…"

Annie sighed, angrily, "Stalking and lying to me is no way to win my affections, Jayden." She said, a note of anger in her soft, and kind voice. She stood, and Jayden followed her.

"You wouldn't have even noticed me, Annie!" He said, and took her hands firmly in his. "And now…" He said, and delivered the coined line, "You must love me…" The large sparkling tears in his eyes fell down his cheeks. "But now you will never return to me." He said, almost angry. His eyes raged with fire, scorching and burning Annie's soul. She acted quickly.

"I don't even want to leave you." She said, pulling a hand to his cheek, hoping he would not see the desperation in her eyes. He bent down and kissed her, lovingly on the forehead. She smiled, in suspense that it looked sincere. It must have, for he smiled in answer and let go of her hands.

"I will explain your father's ghost, and then if you wish, which I am sure you will, you may leave." He said motioning her toward a seat on the bed once more. She sat.

"I watched your house about three weeks for a opportunity to sneak in and look for something to help me win you over." He said. She listened in mixed horror and fascination. "On Thursday, while you where out and your grandparents ran to the store, I picked the back door lock…"

He paused, "You should probably replace that one, it was fairly easy." She almost smiled, if it weren't for the horror she felt. "I went into your family living room and started going through some of the movies, and I found a few home videos. I took the ones that said your name on them and looked as if they might help me in my strange campaign."

Annie nodded, and Jayden began to sit, but Annie wouldn't and so they stood instead. "I watched them a few times, some more than others, but I memorized them all by heart." Annie felt slightly nauseous, but didn't show it.

"The one thing that was holding me back was your damned instrument. I couldn't find it anywhere in your house. I searched every where that a normal teenaged girl would keep such a prized possession. The only place I didn't look was the place that you had left it. I skipped out on my last hour of school and broke into your house, then borrowed the flute, returning it promptly, before your arrived home from Josh's house. That was why I wrote the note. I really didn't care about your friend. I just needed to use him for my own purposes."

"I found the music to 'Cherry Blossoms' easy to play, and so I had it mastered by the time I needed to get that boy away from you and get you by yourself." He looked down at their hands, which he entwined within one another. "I found the opportunity, and I used it." Annie nodded, still queasy, but a lot less confused. "You were hard to convince, but not impossible. I knew that I couldn't get you to come to me, but your father could. I knew you would listen to him."

Annie's eyes filled with tears. "I know you must be angry, but if I do not tell you now, then I may never be able to find the strength to tell you." He sighed, and continued, "I have been studying how to throw my voice since I was ten, so I used that to make my voice echo around your room, but I was really hiding in tree outside your window, which when you went to sleep I cracked open."

Annie felt one tear flow down her cheek, and she also felt Jayden brush it away with a few gentle but firm fingers. He kissed her again on the forehead, and she made an involuntary shudder. "I'm sorry." He said, letting go of her. "I suppose you will want to leave now." He looked as if his heart were breaking.

Annie didn't know why, but the words began pouring out of her, beyond her control. "I will come back." They said, "I will come back everyday if I need to. I will do whatever we need to make this an amazing performance. I still want you to teach me, Jayden."

Jayden looked at her, in question. She could see the conflict behind his eyes, and the consideration in his face. He seemed to be satified, and so he said goodbye, and led her to her car in the driveway, were he held her hand until she got into the car, and then he went inside and closed the door. He didn't see her pull out of the driveway, tears of pain and sorrow puring down her cheeks.

A/N I had sooooo much fun writing this chapter, I just couldn't stop! Please R&R, because I don't like having only one review on my story when I go to write the next chapter, so everyone go check out my other phics, The Return and then read the sequal, New Begginings. Please!
