Chapter Twelve: Anberliegh

So many roads that I've taken
when nobody thought I could make it
and even though I had to go it alone
I still survived when you live in darkness there's always confusion,
sometimes your mind will provide the illusion
and your whole life can change in the blink of an eye, yeah
I look to the sky but there's nobody watching,
left here behind I'm alone and forgotten, so now
the world belongs to me to live and to die by the word that is spoken
the legend's a lie and the silence is broken
so now, the world belongs to me
the world belongs to me

World Belongs to Me: My Darkest Days

"Annie I have someone you should meet." Luke told me one day as I was reading in the study.

Instantly things happened. I was far too cautious not to be careful. A self-preservation ability that I acquired told me to flee. Danger was imminent. But sometimes particularly dangerous vampires could set it off. I was more nervous today because of Luke.

Thanks to a woman named Eileen, I could sense the tone of someone's thoughts. It intensified after years of working on it to the point where I could now read a person's thoughts, but only what they were thinking. And after an encounter with a very reclusive vampire, at one touch I could know everything about a person.

Luke however, promised me to not read his thoughts. And while it took some time, I eventually got to the point where I closed his mind off from mine. Though not completely. I could still sense the tone of his thoughts and they were nervous.

I had the ability to run, faster than any vampire I had ever met. Now my body was telling me to run. I could always find Luke later. Joan, Williams mate, had the ability to track. Now, like her, I could sense the area someone was in. I could find Luke no problem.

I could shield myself as well. A physical shield that would allow no one to hurt me, but this wouldn't help Luke.

I felt a moment of panic and I shut down. Hiding myself from the world and I felt Luke go uneasy. Using the last ability I leeched, mood manipulation ability, I calmed him. He walked over to me and grabbed my book, placing a marker in my spot, and setting it on the table.

"Annie, I hate it when you close yourself off from me." He said as he pulled me up into his arms. "But don't stop he whispered."

He held me close as he led me down stars and into the sitting room. I had to calm him again as we entered the room and instantly knew why.

Standing in the pale yellow room, making it seem dark and empty, was my father.

At the first word from his mouth, I knew why my self-preservation was telling me to run.

"My sweet Daughter." He had a huge fake grin on his face.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I see we are going to skip the pleasantries." He mumbled and sat down.

"Annie, why don't you sit down?" Luke said leading me to the couch, and sitting down next to me.

"Now I am stressed for time so I will just get to the point. Annie your mother told you, you were made for a reason right?" he asked.

"More or less." I told him.

"The time has come for you to be of some use. I need you to come with Me." he said.

"No."

"No?"

"I said no, I am a living person. Not an experiment. You won't use me whenever you need me." I told him getting angry.

"You defy us and those you love will die. You let your mother die for you, are you willing to let Luke die too?" he asked and I gasped.

I was the reason my mother was dead? She died because of me.

Luke pulled me to him, comforting me.

"Anyway Rebecca is irrelevant right now. There are people waiting to meet you."

"What do you want me to do?" I asked and he smiled.

"We do not know what your powers will be. We just want you to try something." He told me.

I thought about it. Let Luke die or try what they want me to. Before I could give him an answer Luke spoke.

"Give her a night or two to think about it. We will get back to you." He stood and held out his hand effectively dismissing Robert.

They shook hands and Robert left.

I sat there until the sun had gone down. Eventually Luke came over to me and picked me up. He carried me upstairs and set me on the bed.

"I want you to promise Me." he said as he pulled the blanket over me. "You will never go with him."

He crawled into bed next to me. "Never seek him out. Never associate with him again." He whispered pulling me to him.

"I don't want you to either." I told him.

"Okay, I promise."

"I promise too." I said and he kissed my cheek.
