Loving Annabelle

Chapter 19

Once at Simone's place they say down on the couch. Simone let out a sigh.

"Don't worry Immaculata will get Cat." Annabelle said.

"What if she doesn't?" Simone looked at her. "I don't want to fear losing you."

Annabelle pressed a finger to Simone's lips. "Shh baby. Don't talk like that." Annabelle removed her finger and have Simone a kiss.

The knocking on the door interrupted them. Simone got up figured it was Colin's maybe dropping off Annabelle's stuff.

Once she opened the door she saw Sargeant Thomas. He stood there with a look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Simone stepped back allowing him to come in.

"Immaculata." Thomas sighed. "Someone took her."

Annabelle shot up quickly and was soon standing next to Simone.

"Cat!" Simone looked at Annabelle.

"Why would she going after Immaculata?" Thomas questioned.

"To get to me which in turn will get to Annabelle." Simone frowned.

"We only got 24 hours to figure where she is hiding her." Thomas frowned. "That's what the note said."

"Thomas allow Annabelle to be apart of our team." Simone said.

"I promise I will bring her back unharmed." Annabelle said.

"I don't know." Thomas sighed. He ran his fingers through his beard as he pondered what Simone suggested.

"If anything goes wrong you can blame me and throw me in jail." Annabelle said.

"Fine." Thomas agreed.

"Good. I know where she is." Annabelle grabbed the keys off the counter and raced out the door.

"Annabelle!" Simone yelled as she watched the car pull away.

"Take my car." Thomas tossed his keys to Simone.

Simone ran and grabbed her gun. She then ran out and got into the car following the way Annabelle went. She had to get to her. She didn't want Annabelle killing Cat. That kind of thing sticks with you.

Simone soon caught up but stayed back as she followed Annabelle. The roads soon gave way to a gravel path.

Annabelle soon came to a stop. She got out and stood in the middle of the road. Simone came to a stop.

"What are you doing?" Annabelle crossed her arms as she stared at Simone.

"I can't let you go after Cat by yourself." Simone said.

"I need to. I can't let Cat get what she wants. I can't let anything happen to you." Annabelle frowned.

"I can't let anything happen to you either." Simone sighed. "I know your not going to let me go in there with you. So....." Simone took her gun out and handed it to Annabelle. "Please be careful and come back to me in one piece. Promise me?"

"I promise." Annabelle pulled Simone into a kiss.

Annabelle raced off to the cabin at the end of the driveway. All Simone could do was call for backup and wait.

Annabelle looked through the window of the cabin and saw Immaculata tied to a chair. She didn't see Cat. Immaculata looked beaten. She looked up when Cat walked back into the room.

"I know it's a matter of time before Simone shows up to rescue you. Then Annabelle will show up. Then I will kill you and Simone just like I did to Annabelle's girlfriend. Then Annabelle will see that I do anything for her." Cat said as she loaded the gun.

"Simone isn't stupid. She will know what to do." Immaculata said.

"She doesn't know anything. I can't wait to kill her." Cat smiled. "Fuck maybe I will just kill you first."

Cat pointed the gun at her. Annabelle raced to the door and kicked it in. Causing Cat to turn to her.

"Let Immaculata go!" Annabelle ordered.

"No!" Cat shouted.

"Just the two of us." Annabelle said.

Cat stepped towards Immaculata. Annabelle pointed the gun at her. Cat undid the ropes for Immaculata.

Immaculata rubbed her wrists. "Thanks."

Cat turned back to Annabelle. She pointed the gun and pulled the trigger. The shot rang out and Annabelle ducked just in time. The shot whizzed past her.

"Immaculata leave. Simone's down the road." Annabelle said not taking her eyes off of Cat.

Immaculata left. Cat tossed her gun to the floor. As Annabelle did the same.

"Just the two of us." Cat said as she walked towards Annabelle.

Annabelle clenched her fists and Cat started to swing. One right after the other. The blows landed then got blocked. Annabelle had a blooding nose as Cat pulled a knife from her boot.

Cat lunged forward at Annabelle as she stepped aside. Grabbing Cat's wrist twisting making her drop the knife. She punched her in the gut then the face as she stumbled and fell. The fight continued.

By the end Cat was laying on the ground and so was Annabelle. Cat grabbed her gun and pulled herself up .

"It's said such beauty is going to die." Cat said as she pulled the trigger.

Annabelle closed her eyes. The thud startled her and she opened her eyes to see that Immaculata was standing there. Immaculata knelt down by Annabelle.

"Let's get you out of here." Immaculata said.

Simone wrapped her arm around her and Immaculata lead her out to where Simone was waiting.

Simone raced to Annabelle. They hugged.

"I'm so glad that came back to me." Simone said.

"Thanks to Immaculata." Annabelle smiled.

"If I would've let you die I know Simone would've hated me forever. I know you love her and I can't stand in-between that." Immaculata smiled.

Annabelle got down on one knee and looked at Simone. "Will you marry me?"

"Annabelle?" Simone stared at her.

"I love you Simone and I can't imagine my life with out you in it. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to have a family with you." Annabelle said.

"Yes!" Simone smiled and threw her arms around Annabelle.
