Thanks to all the people that reviewed, I love getting reviews so this time I hope I get 20. Do you guys think you can send me 20? I think you can -

After driving a couple hours to Angers, Annabel was getting tired so she pulled into a motel.

"What are you doing, we have to get to Bordeaux" Silas said?

"I'm tired and I'm getting some sleep" Annabel replied, stepping out of her jeep, to get a room. Silas took off his seat belt and walked up to Annabel, after she had got a room key.

Annabel opened a decaying door to revel a very small room. It had one bed on the east wall that would be snug for just one person! It had a long wooden dresser with a TV on it. It also had a small dinning table with a candle the color of Silas's eyes (cinnamon red) on it. The bathroom looked bigger than to bedroom, which isn't anything to celebrate, because the bathroom was only 7 ft by 8 ft. Annabel and Silas both laid down on the bed at the same time.

"Oh…uh…sorry" Annabel said.

" It okay, now who sleeps on the bed" Silas asked?

"I don't know".

Silas and Annabel looked over the bed to see the wooden floor. There was dirt on the rosewood floor and it had crumbs all over it. A small cockroach crawled out from under the bed. It looked at Silas moved an anatine, and ran back under the bed.

"All do respect, I'm not fond of bugs" Annabel said.

"It's the lord's creation, to say you're not fond of bug's means you're not fond of your self, the lord's creation" Silas said glumly.

"Couldn't we just share the bed" Annabel asked once again with hopeful eyes.

Silas didn't need to think about this at all.

"No it is prohibited, you may sleep on the bed" Silas said in a loud voice.

"Very well" Annabel replied as she walked into the bathroom and change into a small silk night dress that she brought in with her. As Annabel was changing she heard Silas praying.

"Lord protect moi and Miss Mcgall tomorrow, as we need help on a gurney" Silas said.

"Amen" Annabel cute in.

Silas looked at Annabel with dreamy eyes. Annabel's nightdress was beautiful.

It was a black full length strappy nightdress with elegant silk georgette, a covered mock wrap over styling a ribbon trim detail. Her curves looked succulent like fruit Silas thought. Annabel laid in the bed and went to sleep. Silas didn't won't to take notice the Annabel slept like a princess but he couldn't help it. She lay on her right side, breathing in ever so lightly.

Silas grabbed a spare pillow, blanket, and again slept on the clod hard floor.

"Annabel dear come give mommy some help in the kitchen" A Mrs. Mcgall yelled to her 7 year old daughter.

Annabel came running into the old houses kitchen to see her mom baking cookies.

"Oh yay chocolate chip is my favorite" Annabel said when see saw her mom pulling out chocolate chips from the cumbered.

"Yep were making it for your papa when he comes back tomorrow"!

"Papa's coming back" Annabel yelled with excitement!

"Yes I got a call from the army and they said he's coming back tomorrow" Mrs. Mcgall said with a huge grin on her face.

Annabel hugged her mom and then started to put chocolate chips into the dough.

Mrs. Mcgall and Annabel were singing and backing when the door bell rang.

Mrs. Mcgall went to get the door and Annabel continue singing.

"Hay it's a man like papa" Annabel said as she saw the man dressed like her dad had before he left, 3 years ago.

Mrs. Mcgall's face went from happy to terrified.

She shut the door, and walked back into the kitchen with tiers running down her face.

"What's wrong mama" Annabel asked crawling into hers moms lap.

Mrs. Mcgall cradled Annabel in her arms.

In soft slow words Annabel's mom spoke.

"Annabel hunny, your father isn't coming back" Mrs. Mcgall started to cry gently.

"Oh that's okay I can wait and we can bake cookies later" Annabel said with a radiant smile on her face.

"No hunny, your papa isn't coming back at all…he's missing in action".

Annabel was only 7 but she knew what missing in action that meant. Annabel hugged her mom and cryed. Her mom laid her head down on Annabel's and let tiers roll down into Annabel's hair.

Annabel woke up in a cold sweat, she was crying hot tears.

Annabel looked over the bed to see Silas sleeping in peace. Annabel wished she had his comfort. The next morning Silas woke up to see Annabel's face next to his.

Silas jumped up.

"Annabel what are you doing on the ground"?

"Hum" Annabel pulled a pillow over her ears.

"Get up" Silas yelled as he went into the bathroom for his ritual.

Silas surprising finished his ritual faster then normal because he wanted to see Brettany by today.

Annabel was dressed and ready to go when Silas got out of the bathroom. Annabel again was wearing a very fitting outfit. It was a lavish Channel Boutique dress – With an ultra Stylish French Navy Sheer Silk dress coat.

"Did you clean up the blood" Annabel asked in a hush voice.

"Oui" Silas replied and walked out side.

The sun was shinning and Silas was thinking it would be a great day to kill.
