Chapter 11- Horror

I stumbled backwards, my heel pulled out of Annebelle's chest. Venom dripped onto the ground and stuck to my boot. They were my good ones too. I held my gun to her, matching the barrel to her chest. She laughed, the sound wrapped around me and it felt suffocating. Her wound began to close, the skin was perfectly smooth after three minutes. I frowned, that was most definitely not supposed to happen. Annebelle stepped forward and pushed me. I flew into the opposite wall and slid to the ground. Pieces of the wall crumbled around me, sprinkling to the ground like rain. Suddenly Annebelle was in front of me, her hands around my neck. I growled and kicked her off, then flipped onto my feet. I quickly put my gun away and flicked my arms, my knives slid from their holders and into my hands. I held them in front of me, ready to fight. Again, Annebelle laughed. " Always dependent on your weapons." She said to me, already up. Her crimson eyes glared at me. " I thought I taught you better than that."

" What's going on?" I asked, ignoring her. She smiled, putting her hands on her hips.

" What? Not happy to see me?" She stepped towards me, her lips running over her teeth. For a split second I could feel them sinking into my flesh. I shivered and shook the thought away.

" How are you here?" I demanded to know. She took another step towards me, she was so close I could feel her breath on my cheek. But I didn't move back. I wouldn't show her my fear. And there was plenty of it. She tilted her head, her eyes flicked to my lips. I took a deep breath and put my knife to her neck. " Don't even think about it." I growled. She chuckled and looked back up to my eyes.

" I could've given you everything Noleen. You always were my-"

" Greatest creation. Yeah I know, I've heard that before." She smiled and finally moved back a bit. Her eyes were black, causing another shiver to run through me.

" Unlike you, Rosemary cares about me."

" She dabbled in something didn't she? Brought you back with black magic." My eyes opened wide as I slowly pieced together what was happening. " Two in one. . . You're sharing her body with her aren't you?" She grinned, looking as malicious as ever.

" I love that about you Noleen, you're not stupid. You figure things out," she tapped her head and laughed. " Nothing gets past you." She glanced back at who I assumed were her followers. They'd stopped fighting Ash and Mike and were just looking at her. " Whatever Rosemary did made me stronger than ever. But, only when I'm allowed to come forward."

" You need a new body," I whispered. Fear dawned upon me. " You're going to steal a soul and take over a body." My knives clattered to the floor and I swallowed. This was not good, not good at all.

" Yes, that is what I plan on doing. And I hear there's a body that would be perfect. Evangelo told me all about it." My eyebrows arched. Evangelo?

" What are you talking about?" I questioned, picking my knives back up.

" Oh, Noleen! I thought once you met him you would be able to tell whose side he was on! He's one of my closest followers. According to him, he has a bone to pick with Volterra. I assured him he could do whatever he wished to the Volturi members once I'm back for good. Well, all except for you. You're mine Noleen. For eternity." She lunged forward and pressed me against the wall. I yelled, but she was stronger. She put an arm across my chest and leaned her face towards mine. " You've softened," she told me. " Because of your husband and daughter. You know, I heard she has powers now. I would simply love to add hers to mine." I snarled and head butted her. She staggered back, her laughter filling the air. I flung my knives towards her, piercing her in the side and chest. She coughed, venom spilling down her lips.

" You go near my daughter, I swear-"

" What? You'll kill me? You failed the first time Noleen darling. What makes you so sure you'll prevail the second? Just accept me, accept who you're meant to be."

" I will never bow to you again." I spat. " I'll burn in hell first." Her eyes narrowed and she yanked the knives out, throwing them aside.

" Be careful what you say Noleen. They may just come true." I watched as she fell to the ground, letting out a cry. Rosemary was taking back over. She looked up, her eyes darker than I'd ever seen. She looked like the epitome of evil. " Beware your dreams ma Cherie. You'll be seeing me again." Then she was gone, and it was Rosemary looking at me. I put my knives back in their holders and whipped my gun back out. Then I shot her in the arm and leg.

" Fuck!" She yelled, holding her wounds.

" Won't kill you, but it'll hurt like hell." I responded, putting my gun away. She shouted at the followers, then they disappeared. They were just gone. She'd been messing in some serious black magic. She stood and wiped her hands on her pants.

" Better get to England Noleen. I'd hate for you to never see your daughter again." She teased. I growled and went to jump at her, but she was gone. I turned and slammed my fist into the wall. This couldn't be happening. Ash and Mike stepped forward, their eyes dark.

" We need to go." Ash said, her hands clenched into fists. " She can't get your daughter." I nodded my head but then remembered something.

" Eliza, we have to go get her first. If Evangelo's been on Annebelle's side all along. . . She's in danger." They both agreed and then we got into the car. I rested my head on the window and bit back my fears. I couldn't be afraid. Fear killed you. And I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of knowing I was afraid of her.

Ash pulled into the driveway, gravel hit the bottom of the car and the sides. Everything was dark, it didn't look like there was a single light on. We got out and looked around. I couldn't smell a thing. There was no one here. At least, no one who was alive. Mike opened the front door, and it hit me. I heard Ash and Mike groan and fall to their knees. I bit back my revolt and walked in. " You guys can stay out here." I said. They nodded their heads and simply went back to the car. The house reeked of dead blood. It was not appetizing in the least. I went to the living room first. A maid was slumped over a chair, blood pooled around her. I turned her over and gagged. Her throat was torn out.

I steadied myself and walked away, heading into the kitchen. Two bodies were in the kitchen; a cook and another maid. The second maid was killed like the first one; her throat had been torn out. But the cook was a different story. Her lower body was bare, and she was crushed. I knew instantly what happened. Evangelo had raped her, and in the process, killed her. I shuddered and stepped over her body. I took a deep breath to calm myself, and regretted it the moment after. The smell of death entered my senses and I gagged again. I walked up the stairs to the upper level. A butler was laid out on the steps, blood leaking from his mouth. His stomach was ripped open, the organs were spilling out. That was it. I rushed down the steps, falling back onto the kitchen floor. Blood spewed from my mouth. It felt like I was being ripped apart.

I stood and looked around. I couldn't stay in the house any longer. So I walked outside. My mind flashed; the gardener had been out there. I sighed and walked around. The car that had driven us was in there, inside the garage. I headed towards it, swallowing down my urge to throw up again. I opened the door and closed my eyes. The driver was in the front seat, his eyes were open and staring. As if he'd been caught by surprise. His heart was ripped out. I shut his eyes and closed the door. Next, I went to the huge background. I immediately saw Eliza's lover and the father of her child. He wasn't hard to miss. . . He'd been torn apart. Again, I knelt on the grass and threw up, my body convulsed and that's when I noticed the bloody arm in front of me. I backed away, my own venom dripping down my chin. I never thought I'd see something worse than what I saw in Mitchell's castle. . . But Annebelle was a worse monster than he was by far. This wasn't the only horror I'd see, not by far.

Black blood lined the grass, and I noticed a message written on the side of the garage. ' A present for my darling', it read. It was written in blood. I could only assume whose it was. I took another second to look around. But there was nothing there except for his decapitated body and the bloody message. I wiped my chin and made my way back to our car. Ash and Mike were inside, their eyes cold. You couldn't deal with Annebelle and not numb yourself. I slid into the car and closed the door. Silence fell over us for a few seconds. " What was in there?" Ash asked, her voice calm.

" You don't want to know." I replied honestly. " Just drive. We need to get to England." She nodded her head and pulled out of the driveway. I went to take out my cell phone but Mike stopped me.

" We already called Aro and Edward for you. Why don't you just. . . Just lay down Noleen." He said. I nodded my head and laid across the two seats. I felt so tired, so weak. There was a piece of me that just wanted to give up, that knew I couldn't win against Annebelle. But I wouldn't. I would fight her to the death, again. I couldn't allow her to take my daughter and use her to walk this earth. I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes. Soon I drifted off to a deep sleep. . .

I was back on the dark road. Fog was misting around me, lightning crashed in the distance. She was invading my dreams yet again. I let out a low growl and waited for her to appear. " I know you're here Annebelle! I don't know how, but I know you are!" I shouted, my words echoing back to me and around me. I waited. She was nowhere. Then I heard a faint sound. It sounded like crying. I started to walk against my better judgment. A small voice in the back of my head was telling me to stay put. I hated that annoying voice, but it usually turned out to be right. The mist moved with me, fogging out what laid in front of me. Soon I could make out a small body kneeling on the ground. " Hello?" I said, stopping in my tracks. I didn't want it to be some demon child who'd suck out my soul.

" Help me," the figure whispered. I bit my lip, my nerves on edge.

" Tell me who you are."

" Help me!" The figure cried again. " She's hurting me!" That was it, I couldn't just stand there. I walked over, seeing it was a small girl. I recognized her brown hair, her smell. It was Hope. I bent down and put my hand on her back.

" Hope? Sweetie it's-" I stopped once she raised her head. That's when I noticed the other child laying at her feet. Blood dripped from her mouth and her eyes were a dark crimson. She smiled and blood was smeared on her teeth.

" It tastes so good mommy." She said, her eyes on mine. I put my hand to my mouth and let out a small gasp.

" No, God no. . . " I whispered. She let out a laugh, it was cold and covered me like maggots on a corpse. " Hope," I said quietly. " Who did this to you?" Annebelle was there, her hand on Hope's back. She smiled, her eyes were loving towards Hope.

" Sweetie, mommy and I have to talk. Go have fun. Auntie Rosie will have another body for you." Hope clapped and took off. I looked around and saw the scenery had changed. I was sitting in the living room of Annebelle's old mansion. It brought back many memories. Annebelle held out a hand for me, but I ignored it.

" What the fuck is going on?" I asked.

" Why, I'm showing you just what could happen. What's going to happen." She stepped closer to me, her breath was metallic. She'd fed recently. " You took away my life, I'm going to take away yours. Your little girl, well she seems like she'd be a wonderful companion. I'll change her. And your husband? I'll enjoy torturing him. I won't kill him at first. No, I'll break him first. Maybe he'll decide to join me. Wouldn't that be lovely!" I slammed against her, knocking her into a TV. Well, I would've. Except we fell onto the ground by the road. I smacked her, drawing venom from her mouth. She laughed and pushed me off.

" I won't allow you to take my family." I snarled.

" Oh I wasn't finished darling! No, I'm going to take Lamina too, and I'll punish her greatly. She won't even be able to think of her name once I'm finished with her. I'll kill Travis, Ash and Mike. Then I'll move to Yuri and his little baby. I was thinking maybe I could cut it directly out of the belly. Wouldn't that be fun!" I hit her again, then knocked her head against the cement. If she'd been human, or alive, she would've died.

" Leave me alone!" I yelled. " Leave me the fuck alone and leave my family alone too!" It was her turn to lunge at me.

" I made you," she snarled, her teeth on my neck. Then she bit down. Fire went through my body. It felt like it had when I first changed. " You're mine." She whispered and kissed my neck. " You'll always be bound to me Noleen. Always." I did the only thing I could. . . I screamed, I screamed like there was no tomorrow.
