(A/n: Hello again, readers. One quick thing, Annie does not look like Jo. Jo looks different in my story than she does in the TV show. Onto more pleasant [or seriously unpleasant things, if you like Jo] things, this chapter is going to be Annie and Kendall POV. [Ever since I gave Kendall his voice in chapter 2, he has been begging me to allow him to tell his side of the story. Seriously, Kendall; I know that you love Annie and want to protect her, but you still have not gotten control over some of your powers. (Shakes head at Kendall)] As usual, I only own Annie and Wendy. Even though I wish I could be Kendall's girlfriend, now that would be awesome! See you at the bottom)
Chapter 4: Shopping with Bella
February 3, 2007, BTR Compound, Forks, Washington
It has basically been a month since we got that restraining order on Jo. Also, it has been almost that same length of time from when Edward 'met' Bella again. Twin has to get his priorities straight. Otherwise, I will use a certain spell on him. As Kendall and I snuggled, per our usual Saturday morning tradition, we talked about how we would get Edward to open up to Bella. "I suggest that we get him jealous," Kendall said, "Jealousy is very powerful."
I agree, baby, but we also have to remember that Bella already has too many admirers here in Forks. Bella, Angela, Jessica, and I are going shopping later today for the Valentine's Day dance, I reminded him, If you got Edward to go to Port Angeles with you to 'help' you with choosing a suit that will match my dress, then maybe. . . oh no. A vision of Jo interrupting the shopping trip to 'shop' with Jessica flashed before my eyes.
"That witch is nuts. She thinks that by trying a different approach; which, in all reality, is the same stunt she pulled in LA; is going to try to get me to like her, she has another thing coming," Kendall said. Just then we were interrupted by the girls.
"Jo's planning something," Wendy said, "Something big, but I cannot see exactly what it is. All I can see is that it involves Bella, you, and several paid guys." Damn! She plans on being in Port Angeles today so she can orchestrate this. Baby, get twin on the phone and get your butts to Port Angeles. I'll go pick up Angela, Bella, and Jessica; or should I call Jessica a viper?
"Vipers are more docile than she is, perhaps a two-headed demon?"
That works too. Thanks, baby.
"No problem, my love. I'll see you later." And with that, Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan went over to the Cullen's to pick up our vampire brothers.
Later that same day, Port Angeles, Washington
"What do you think, Annie?" Jessica asked.
"The color plays up your eyes, big time," I respond, "Definitely get it for the dance." She wants me to look like a cow?! Jessica thought. I shook my head at her thought. As we were clearing out of the dressing room, Jo walked up. "Oh great. Jo, I really do not wish to call the cops but if you get any closer I will," I told Jo.
"Who cares about you anyway? Soon enough," Jo started, "you'll be dead. Or you will be out of MY Kendall's life and I'll be happy." What I would not give to have Jasper here right now.
"You think by threatening Annie, you'll get her to break up with Kendall? You have to be blind," Angela retorted, "Kendall would never allow her to leave him; unless she truly wanted it. The way that you are trying to break them up is quite ridiculous." Angela shook her head at that.
"Thanks, Angela," I replied to Angela, "Bella, didn't you want to find a bookstore?"
"Yeah, I did," Bella said, "Do you know where one is?"
"Yes, I do," I told Bella, "Jessica, we will meet you at the restaurant, ok? Angela, can you come with us?"
Jessica said sure at the same time Angela said all right. When we got out of the store I turned to Angela. "Angela, there is something that I need to tell you; but first I must ask you a few questions, may I?"
"Of course," Angela replied. Bella thought, what is it? Is she a sorceress like you Annie?
Yes she is, Bella. But sometimes the magic does not come out for some time. Hers is just starting to express itself; thus, the scene in the dressing room. "Angela, what color are my eyes?"
"Blue, with gold fleck in them," Angela responded. I have never seen those flecks in her eyes before, Angela thought. "Did you get contacts, Annie?"
"Angela, what I am about to tell you about yourself may come as a complete and utter shock to your system; but, as of right now, I have no choice. You, my dear Angela Weber, are a sorceress. I would have to say that either your mother is a mortal sorceress, or you have an ancestor who was an immortal sorceress or sorcerer." I was right, Angela stopped dead in her tracks.
"Me, a magician? Yeah right," Angela scoffed. Just who does Annie think she is?
I do not think I am the Faerie Queen; I KNOW I am the Faerie Queen! I thought to Angela. I have been closely monitoring your thoughts in particular; and have reached the conclusion that your magic is beginning to make itself known. Thus, the scene in the dressing room at the mall just now. "I know that this news comes as a surprise to you right now, but I needed to tell you that so that this next bit of information does not seem out of place. This piece of news shocked me when I found out in LA, so rest assured that you are not the only one who is shocked by it. Jo is a witch who has fixated on Kendall."(A/N: Witches tend to 'fixate' [think they fall in love with] a sorcerer, whilst wizards fixate on sorceresses. The fixated witch/wizard tends to end up dead within 2 months, but Annie did not realize that Jo is a witch. So, Annie is trying to find a way to get Jo to Traitor's Hill. Traitor's Hill is an island prison [sort of a magical version of Alcatraz] in which a witch's/wizard's magic is taken from them by the island. No one has ever been able to escape Traitor's Hill alive.)
"Ok, what else is there?"
"Well, a whole bunch of things really," Bella said, "However, because I am an ordinary. . ."
"You are NOT ordinary, Bella," I interrupted her, "If my twin had not fallen in love with you; you would have been an ordinary girl. But he DID fall in love with you! And it is not because you are a shield or anything like that; twin fell in love with you because of your characteristics. Even though you are not a sorceress, you still belong in my family." Really, Bella thought, I thought Edward hated me.
"Edward does not hate you. However, his reactions towards your scent are explainable. Remind me later to explain them to you," I told Bella. I will, Bella thought. I suddenly caught sight of several men coming our way, all with the intent to hurt Angela, Bella and myself; me in the worst way possible. "Shall we walk this way, girls?" And I started walking that way.
"What is it Annie," Angela asked.
"Those men that are walking our way are going to try to hurt all three of us. And possibly kill us. I need you, Angela, to take Bella's hand and teleport her away from here," I told her.
"I don't know how to teleport!" Angela lamented.
"Teleporting is as easy as imagining a specific place, like Avalon, and wishing to be there. Avalon may be your best bet to teleport to right now. Just think of the word Avalon, close your eyes, and think 'I wish Bella and I were on Avalon.'"
She did that and they disappeared from sight. I sighed a breath of relief that Bella would not witness me being raped, if the situation came to that. The three men were right on my tail now, so fight or flight time. Personally, I would choose fight this time. Last time, I had no choice but to surrender. "Don't come any closer," I told the drunken men. Whoa, the middle one was a serial rapist and murderer; not good. The other two were just plain drunk, and possibly under the influence of date rape drugs.
"Don't be like that sugar," said Lonnie, the middle one, "I want to have some fun with you." The other two men laughed at that.
"No way. Your kind of fun is not mine. The only kind of fun I want to have is with Kendall, my boyfriend," I told him. "And if you think you can restrain me or my twin, who is in the area; you have another thing coming." Edward, Emmett, Jasper, and Kendall were rounding the closest corner onto the street I was currently on; and they had brought some police officers. The men had not seen the men coming towards us, so they hit me with enough force that everything went black. The last thing I heard was Kendall yelling my name.
*Kendall*
"ANNIE!" I yelled as she fell to the ground. That little witch was going to die, if I had anything to say. Right before she fell, the middle guy hit her and pulled a gun and shot her in the stomach. I ran to her side as the officers arrested the three men. Edward, Emmet and Jasper were standing next to me.
"Oh no," my future brother-in-law said. What is it Edward?! I cannot read Annie's mind right now, and I have no idea what that specifically means. I thought to Edward. "I cannot read her mind either, Kendall." This day just keeps getting better and better, I thought sarcastically.
The ambulance arrived and Annie was loaded onto it. I could sense that Jo was nearby. "Emmett and Jasper, can you help me with a specific annoyance that has been plaguing Annie and me since we moved to LA?" I asked.
"Sure, what's the annoyance?" Jasper asked.
"Jo. She has been a thorn in our sides for far too long. She is a witch, so be careful," I told them, "You will have to kill her. Otherwise, she will continue to come after Annie and myself." I wondered what was going on with my only love. Is she in pain? Worse, is she in a coma that she cannot come out of? Even worse than that, is she dead? I cannot think about this, I have to be there for her. I have to be strong for her, for us, for the life we WILL live.
"Kendall," Jasper interrupted my fretting, "I can feel her emotions still. She is not dead, but she needs you near her. The last thing that she needs is you leaving her side. So get your butt in that ambulance."
"Thanks Jasper," I said as I got into that bucket of bolts that looked new but probably was not. We arrived at the hospital in Port Angeles. Annie did not seem like she would wake up anytime soon, so I called Carlisle.
"Hello, Kendall," Carlisle greeted me.
"Annie was shot. I have a REALLY bad feeling about the bullet as well. Could you have Alice look into Annie's future for me?"
"Where are you?"
"We are in Port Angeles," I told Carlisle, "You need to come quick. I do not think that the bullet was normal at all. I think that a curse was on it." Alice was suddenly next to me.
"She is in a coma that will last for at least a week," Alice told me, "But after that I see Jo?"
"I do believe that is explained as a body switching spell," Wendy was right next to Alice, "They usually take a day to work; unless a witch is casting it. So I have a bad feeling that you need to go to Avalon and talk to Merlin. He might be able to help us with this big problem." I vowed that I would go to Avalon at once, since I did not want Annie to be stuck in Jo's body and DEFINITELY did NOT want to be away from the TRUE Annie more than was necessary.
(a/n: Yup, Annie is hurt and Jo is the reason behind it. Jo will never learn, will she? Next chapter, is what Kendall [and everyone else] learns in Avalon about Jo and Annie. They DO have a connection. Not a good connection either. [shakes head] I will see you all later!)
