Beyt couldnâ€™t believe that her brother would go after her like that though she understood full well why he had acted out. She felt horrible that she couldnâ€™t tell him anything and the moment Drake and Jhene returned it was very relieving. Many thoughts were swimming through her mind at that point, wondering what would happen if she did tell him. And now that there was a darkness looming she knew she couldnâ€™t possibly explain everything now or else they would all be killed. She was getting a horrible feeling about everythingâ€¦ But nevertheless she knew she had to stick by her brother no matter what. It was the best she could do for him at this point, she figured, and perhaps eventually she would explain everything to him once the time was right.<br/><br/>She backed away when Jhene pulled Gimmel aside to speak to him.<br/><br/>Obviously in a horrible mood, Gimmel listened closely to Jheneâ€™s words, snorting softly and shaking his head, â€œDonâ€™t preach to me,â€ he growled softly. â€œI know thereâ€™s something big going on, and I intend to find out. Itâ€™s like a fire inside. Perhaps she is protecting us, but I know I also need to protect her. She wonâ€™t lose me; you have some nerve saying something like that to me.â€ Walking past her with another snort he shook his head and sighed once more. There was nothing more irritating then when someone tries to preach to him whenever heâ€™s in a bad mood. He knew there was more to this and he knew she was not supposes to tell, obviously, or else she would have. At first he thought it was relieving that he wasnâ€™t the only one in the dark but after witnessing what happened back there he wanted answers. Something wasnâ€™t right and he was sick of this.<br/><br/>â€œWhere is Fatal? Wasnâ€™t she with you?â€ Beyt said suddenly, he horrible feeling in her stomach coming back again. The darkness looming seemed to become more and more oppressive by the second. Suddenly she began to worry about Fatal quite a bit, wondering if there was something wrong that she was not back yet. It worried her so much that she almost let loose a growl that was hanging in the back of her throat. Narrowing her eyes, she looked out towards the city again, noting the dark cloud. â€œWe need to get out of here now.â€<br/><br/>Something was definitely not rightâ€¦<br/><br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Annabelleâ€™s ears perked and she snarled when one of her wolves dared to enter the small room where she and Simon continued to speak quietly, assessing the situation at hand. After the wolf explained what was going on she tensed and looked at Simon who also seemed to understand. â€œTake a few wolves and spread the message that the Shadow has arrived to the other hidden wolves and Seers in this city. We must not leave them in the dark, assuming they donâ€™t know about this already. Weâ€™re going to rise and army and fight back.â€ The wolf nodded, Simon as well, â€œThereâ€™s also another task Iâ€™d like you to handle, my wolf.â€ Annabelle stood from where she was lying near Simon and walked over to speak in the wolfâ€™s ear, â€œI need you to take back that necklace. They might be aware of its powers, and Iâ€™ll tell you now that you need to be careful, but they probably donâ€™t know about the side effects. Use them to your advantage. I want that necklace back here as soon as possible.â€<br/><br/>The wolf nodded and took off.<br/><br/>Simon laughed softly, â€œDo you think they will make it, Annabelle? This forceâ€¦ itâ€™s a lot more powerful. The angel might not survive. She must surviveâ€¦ I have to make sure that this city does not die.â€<br/><br/>â€œThe city wonâ€™t die, Simon.â€ Annabelle snapped. â€œThe Shadow will be stopped before it can do too much damage. I think we should take our stand as well. Are you able?â€<br/><br/>â€œOf course.â€ Simon might have been a broken Seer but he was still fairly powerful. It had to be triggered, sadly, but Annabelle has known him long enough to have a fairly good idea of how that worked. This was not something they could afford to lose and they had to hurry. She still resented losing the necklace but maybe they wouldnâ€™t need it for the time being. Or so she hoped anyway, wanting to have some kind of wishful thinking considering this was something she was hoping would not happen. Damn. Of all times Renee had to awaken now... Hopefully wherever Tassos was, he would not be found by the Shadow.
