Fighting Through the Air of Darkness

Mission 12- Facing Her Demons!

        “Annabelle~” The voice calls out her name. Annabelle was leaning up against the wall and there in front of her was another. Except, this one is covered with a dark aura. ‘W-who is this chick?’, Annabelle thought to herself, but suddenly the walls begin to turn into barbwire. “Watch out!” Sedna shouted as he flew over her head, trying to warn the puzzled girl. “Come on and play, Annabelle! I know you want to play with me~” The voice sings. “W-who are you?” Annabelle shouted. The figure just tilts its head, “My. You’re really are clueless, are you. I’m you.” Suddenly the background started to change to outside, but everything was dark except for the crimson coated barbwires.

        “Come on~” ,The voice begins to sing out loud. “L-Leave me alone!” Annabelle shouted with the sense of fear. “Run Anna!” As Annabelle starts to run, there was a loud scream coming from behind her. She turns around to look at the figure which reveals a dark shadow woman with a wide smile across her face. “I coming for you~” It kept repeating itself over and over again, but that didn’t stop Annabelle from running away. She charges away from the creature, but suddenly around her started to change from darkness into night scenery at a carnival. “Remember back then when everything was nice, but in reality it’s not!” The creature shouted at her again. Now there was laughter and carnie music that was playing, but the music was slowing down. Into a demonic tone. “Just keep running, Annabelle!” Sedna shouted as he was guiding her to a safe place, but all of that stopped when she come across her worst sight. There he was, dangling from the street lights. Annabelle’s father. “D-Dad?” She said with tears slowly flowing out of her eyes. “Yes, and he was delicious, but yours will be even more delicious!” The figure starts to sprint at her, which causes her to fall to her insanity. The real Annabelle was no longer.

        “Annabelle?” Vergil calls out, but it was dead silent. “V-Vergil! Vergil! Please, I beg you, please help her! I lost her!” Vergil glares at the poor dragon, “What do you mean?” The dragon slowly begins to cry. “I’m so sorry, Vergil. We were trapped! That-that thing got her!” Vergil looks away into the distance, “Where is she?” He asked. “I-I don’t know. Last time I saw her, she was running away from me.” Vergil looks ahead, “You mean that’s her over there?” The dragon turns around, “Yes! That’s her!” He said with glee. Vergil and Sedna begins to run, but Annabelle caught sight of them.“Heh!”, She begin to crackle insanely. “Anna…belle?” Vergil was shock to see Annabelle looking like this. “Stay away from me you bunch of pigs. HAHAHAHAHAHA!” Again that laughter starts to frighten Sedna to the point he begins to shiver. “Annabelle, stop it!” Suddenly there was a dark aura around her as she begins to pulls out her knives and narrows her eyes towards Vergil and Sedna. “Heh, make me.” “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” The sound of the creature, or spirit, just taking full control of Annabelle.

        Annabelle was stuck between herself and the creature. ‘How am I going to work this out?’ She thought to herself as she begins to close her eyes. ‘He’s controlling me. I feel weak! I feel-' She was cut off from such a familiar voice, “You’re not weak. You’re lost, Belle. You better get yourself back together.” Annabelle turns around and there, in front of her, was her dad. Smiling away. “Don’t be afraid. He’s dead and you’re not. Now, go kick his butt.” He said with a wink. Annabelle was a statue for a moment, but she nods her head and smiles, “I will, dad. I will.” “Get out of here!” Annabelle shouted with anger. The figure turns around and smiles even wider. “My. What do we have here?”

        Before Annabelle could say anything, the thing charge right at her. Annabelle dodging every movement, but now she got him. “Enjoy the pain!” Annabelle shouted out in anger as she jams the knife through the creatures neck, causing it to turn into dust. “See what I mean? You do have full control of him.” Annabelle smiles and runs up to her dad and embrace him with a hug that she would never forget. “I love you, sweetie.” He said in a teary tone. “I-I love you to, dad…” After they hugged, everything started to turn into the original scenery. “Ah!” She shouted as she drops the knives and drops to the floor. “Wha-what happened?” She asked. The dragon landed on her shoulder, “We thought we lost you.” He said with soft chuckle. “I thought I lost myself to.” Annabelle said with a smile as she lays her head onto the dark, cold floor. “I’m glad that my dad is at peace.” She said as she rises up her hand and cups her face, just so Vergil wouldn’t see her cry. “I-I’m at ease right now.” She wailed. Vergil just smile and lifts her up, “Come on, we still need to continue on this task.” Annabelle stands up, “I suppose why not.”
