Chapter Forty Nine

“Grace! I can’t believe you’re here” Damian said as he hugged her
“Neither can I. It is so good to see you to, D. How have you been? Well, except from trying to defeat magic without the help of someone that has magic?” She asked
“We have a lot to catch up on, Grace. I was hoping that we can talk about things…”
“Damian! This is not the time to start to catch up on whatever years you guys have been apart!” Alex interrupted , reminding him of their current dilemma
“Right! Yes. We have an entity that has control of Anna’s body and we have no idea where she is” Damian said
“What kind of entity?” She asked
“One powerful enough to take control of an hybrid” Justin said as he groaned back to reality
“Oh, hey there. I didn’t think you would ever reach out except hell was freezing over” Grace said to him
“Well, hell is freezing over. Can you help us?” Alex asked
“Yes I can but first, I need to know what kind of being has control over her. What has her actions been so far? How has she been relating with all of you?” Grace asked
“I don’t know. When we first found her, she remembered me and then she didn’t after she woke up from a sleep” Damian said
“If anybody can tell you what she has been like since she got here, it’s Sally. She has been the one taking care of her since she got here” Alex said
“Guys, we have a problem” Justin said

They all turned around to see what the problem was

“It’s Sally, she is not waking up” he said

Grace walked to where he was and knelt down beside Sally. She took her palm and did a reading before dropping it with force

“It’s magic. It is more like she is trapped in her own mind” Grace said
“Well, get her out of it!” Justin said to her
“You don’t understand. I can’t get her out of her own mind. She has to get herself out. There is nothing any of us can do” Grace said
“That should be easy for her. She is a strong person. She knows we need her. She would wake up soon, right?” Justin asked
“I wish it worked that way but it doesn’t. Whatever slumber she is in, she has a perfect life, the one she always wanted, the one she always yearned for. It us hard for her to give it all up because that is her new reality” Grace said
“I have been in that type of situation and I didn’t give it up” Damian said
“There has to be another way to get her back!” Justin said
“There is!” Grace replied
“I am listening” he said
“The other way to wake her up us to kill whatever demon that casted the spell on her” she said
“Them let’s kill the sin of a bitch because I am not losing Sally!” Justin said
“We can’t!” Grace said to him
“What do you mean by we can’t? We have to!” Justin said back
“We can’t. If we kill it while it is still in Anna, she would die” Grace said
“Then take it out of her!” Damian said to her
“We can’t do that either. The fight would be too strong for Annabelle to handle. If I remove the demon, for her to survive, I need to link it with another life force so the life force he got from Annabelle can return to her and then we can kill the demon with the person!” Grace said
“Hold on! I don’t understand any of what you’re saying right now. Take it slowly and explain it all over again” Alex said

Grace sighed and rubbed her forehead

“Alright. How do I put this? Okay, it is this way. There is a spirit or demon if you prefer in Annabelle right now and she is too weak to fight it. The longer the demon stays in her, the more life he draws from her and her energy is unique. She is hybrid. It is feeding off her life force. If we try to take out the demon without it being in a body, due to the amount of life it has drawn from Anna, it would be impossible. So we either kill it in her and she is too weak to heal from that, we all know this or we remove it and put it in someone else so that the energy of that person’s life force would disrupt the energy the demon took from Anna and the demon would be forced to let it go so and return it back to it’s owner while the demon feasts on the new energy” she said
“I know that magic. It is the lost dangerous there is because things can go very wrong and the demon can choose not to part with Annabelle’s energy. The demon can choose not to stay in the other person’s body. What choice would we have then?” Justin asked
“C’mon, we are talking about a demon here! They always yearn for more power!” Grace said
“And what if this one is different? It feels like she was sent on an assignment. She is on a mission to make sure that Damian and Anna never end up together” Justin said
“Which makes things more easier. I can pull her out of Anna’s body and out her onto Damian’s body. Either ways, they would have to stay separated. Then we can kill Damian temporarily and hope he wakes up” Grace said
“Hope he wakes up? What the hell, Grace?” Justin said
“I don’t know how long that thing has been in Anna. If I pull it out of her, there would be a battle in Damian’s body, a clash between two powerful energies and even though her energy is weak now, Damian should be able to overcome her energy and lick it out of his own body so it would return to her. I hope he is strong enough to do that” Grace said
“I don’t think you should risk that. Anna is stronger than you, all factors considered. Why would you want to risk that?” Alex asked
“Because I have to. She would need all of you here when she wakes up and it is the only way I can help her and Sally right now” Damian said
“What do you mean? You can die! You can die in there if you’re not careful. What in the moon’s name are you saying? I can’t let you do that!” Justin said to him
“I am not asking for your permission, Justin! You have sacrificed so much for me and Sally’s life is on the line. I know how you feel about her. I know you love her. Do you really want to risk it? This is the second shot you’ve had at true love. Would you really give it up again for me?” How much more do you want to sacrifice in the name of your loyalty to me?” Damian asked him
“I would sacrifice everything. Damian, you are more than a friend. You are a brother. You are a part of me. I can’t see my life without you so understand it when I say I would give anything for you. I don’t care what it takes, I would give anything for you!” Justin said, fighting back tears
“Then do what I am asking of you, let me do this because if I don’t, nobody else will. I can’t live without Anna and you can’t live without Sally. You have sacrificed so much for me, now it is my turn to do the same for you and if I don’t make it back, take care of Annabelle like she was yours” Damian said to him
“Don’t talk like this. You would make it back. You would fight her and you would win because you have to. I can’t handle two women at the same time. I am not giving up on you. I am waiting for you, Damian. We still have to find Phillip and end him once and for all. The whole nation of Cordina is waiting for you so make it back to us and being Anna back with you. Let’s get this over with, once and for all” Justin said
“I would try to, I promise you. So what is the plan here?” Damian asked her
“While the both of you were busy confessing your love to each other, I took a quick run around the house and we may have some trouble. Annabelle or whatever is in her has out up a boundary spell around her room with her blood to keep us out. I can’t go in and Damian cant go in. Justin is linked to Damian so he can’t go in either. Anybody with magic can’t go in either so how the hell are we supposed to draw her out? We can’t cast a spell with that boundary up and you would need your circle” Alex said
