Chapter seventy two

She groaned and opened her eyes. She found herself in a room filled with light. She groaned and slapped her forehead with her palm. What was she doing here? She needed to wake up. Damian needed her. He couldn’t hold Phillip off for so long. She walked around, looking for a way to go back but she knew that there was no way until she saw who drew her soul here so she decided to take a few deep breaths and then she turned around

“Always impatient. I thought you would have dropped that habit by now” her mother said to her
“No, mom! I can’t be here! I need to go back now. Damian, Alex, they need me! Phillip would kill them all if I don’t return! I can’t let that happen!” She wait to her mom
“If you go back out there, you would die again! Phillip can’t be stopped my little wolf” she said
“I know but I don’t care! It is my life or the entire Cordina! For so long, I hid in the dark. I thought that if I didn’t use my abilities, I would be a normal person, I would lead a normal life but I was wrong mom! I was forced into an identity that wasn’t mine right from the time I was a kid and I am done with that. This is who I am, this is what I am! Mom, I have to restore Cordina back to her feet. I will not stop until Phillip is dead and gone and if that means I have to die to do this then so be it! I am getting it done with today so just let me out” she said to her mom
“If this is what you wish for then have your way. If you want to defeat Phillip. You must absorb the power that he wields. You must take it from him one way or another. It would leave him human and weak and then you can do the favor of returning the power back to him. His body would not be able to handle it without a sacrifice. The question is, can your own body handle it without a sacrifice?” her mom asked her
“I guess there is only one way to find out” she said to her mom

Her mom nodded at her and snapped her fingers and a door appeared. Annabelle headed for the door and looked at her mom

“After all of this is over, you can call me so we can talk and spend some time together. I have magic now so it shouldn’t be so hard. Just make sure I am not knocked out or cranky” she said to her mom

Her mom smiled at her and nodded. She smiled back and ran off. She opened her eyes and got up from where she was laying. Grace landed on her feet and she turned to Grace

“Do that one more time and Phillip wouldn’t be the only person I would have to kill today!” She said to her as she walked off
‘Damian wouldn’t want this!” Grace said
“Damian wouldn’t want his home destroyed either. The plan has changed. I don’t need you to blast me when I absorb the magic. I don’t plan on keeping his magic or changing it. I plan on giving it back to him when I have absorbed it” Anna said
“I don’t understand. If you give it back to him, his body wouldn’t be able to handle it” she said
“Exactly! That is the point” Anna said to her
“it would kill him. That is a good plan. Well, not totally. It would kill you. I don’t think your body can handle that amount of magic!” she said to Anna
“I need you on standby so we can get this over with! If I die, burn me up immediately so Damian can live on faster” she said as she flew up into the sky and got to where Damian was

He looked at her and she saw relief in his eyes though he had been badly beaten.

“You just can’t stay dead!” Phillip said to her
“I can’t. I have a message to deliver. My mom said hi!” she said as she moved up to him and said a little prayer before she took a deep breath and opened her arms up

His magic started to slip out of him and go into her. He didn’t understand. He screamed and groaned as his magic left. It felt like he was being torn into two as she absorbed all of his magic. She rose from her feet and he rose with her, still screaming. She started to feel heavy and dizzy and she could swear that everything became silent. The fighting stopped, the growls stopped. There was nothing but peace. She opened her eyes and she found herself in a dark room. She felt a presence around her and she looked around, trying to use her wolf vision to see in the dark. Her eyes glowed but it wasn’t helping. She snapped her fingers and a spark of light came. She turned around and saw a cloaked figure at the end of the room. She turned to walk towards the person but it felt like she was glued to the spot she was standing on

“Don’t walk towards me, you mortal!” he said to her
“That was rude. What am I doing here?” she asked him back
“You came here, not me! You summoned me, not the other way round so what are you doing here?” he asked her
“You must be the prince of darkness then. I always knew that I was going to be dealing with the devil sooner or later. Look, I don’t know what is wrong or why I am here but I need to go back!” she said to him
“If you win, you would. I doubt if you would. You look weak, you can’t even move your legs!” he said to her
“Hold on, so I would have to fight you to leave here? That is crazy!” she said to him
“It is about to get crazier” he said to her as he brought out a sword from underneath his cloak and ran towards her.

She tired to move but she still wasn’t moving. She was going to fall to her knees when she remembered Damian’s words

“You control this place! It is your mind after all” she heard

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes before pushing herself up and holding the blade mid way, in between her palms. She opened her eyes and they glowed. She smiled and she grabbed him by the neck, before pushing him back and throwing him to the other side of the room. She punched him and didn’t sop until he was on the floor, groaning in pain.

“What are you?” he asked her
“I am something you should not mess with. I am now a what but I am a who. I am Annabelle Gerald, a wolf, a vampire and a witch. I am the savior of Cordina and I am Luna to the pack. You now serve me and you will listen to me carefully. You would return to the hole that you crept out from once I am done with you and you would stay there until you hear the instructions of your master. You will return to your slumber and this would be the last time you would be heard of. You are not to be seen again in the physical realm!” she said

He nodded and then bowed before her before he disappeared. The room became lighter and when snapped her fingers. That drew her back to reality. She controlled the darkness and Phillip looked at her

“What have you down? You have ruined everything! You will pay for it! That darkness is something you can’t control. You will be sacrificed and you will become a slave to it!” he screamed at her
“I think I have it under my control and if you want it so bad, then have it!”

She said as she released the dark magic back to him. The last thing she heard was his screams as she sent it back to him. He went up in flames and when she was done, she dropped from the sky. Damian sped to her and caught her before she could get to the ground and like she said, it was a piece of cake. They returned home with victory and Damian dropped her on her bed before passing out. When he woke up, she was beside him, looking as beautiful as ever

“Hey, I wish I could wake up with this every time. How long was I out?” he asked her
“Two days. How do you feel?” she asked him
“I feel like I just dealt with my biggest problem” he said to her with a smile
“Well, you did. Word has gone round already and Cordina is starting to look like Cordina again” she said
“What can I say, I wouldn’t have done it without you. So here comes the big question, I don’t want to do it without you anymore. I am tired of leaving and coming back and leaving so would you marry me?” he asked
“Ithink you’re trippy from the medications” she said
“Then we would wait until I am off medications so we can get married” he said to her with a smile

And that was how life went on. You are probably wondering what happened to Odette and Arielle. Well, let that remain a mystery.
