Anna entered the Manor, utterly exhausted. She closed the heavy oak door behind her and leaned back against it, closing her eyes. She could hear Conner and his new friend in the living room. A moment later, she opened her eyes and trudged across the foyer for the staircase. She slowly headed upstairs and in her room. Holly was on her bed, dozing.
She quietly wriggled into some black pajama shorts and a white tank top, throwing her dirty clothes in the hamper and kicking her shoes into her closet. Trying not to disturb her friend, she slipped out of the room and gently closed the door behind her. Anna turned on her heel and tip toed towards the next staircase and was soon in the attic. This was a perfect place to be alone; everyone else was either out, busy, or sleeping. And she needed time to think. The night had been...interesting, and stressful.
She gathered the Book of Shadows into her arms and lugged it over to the couch that sat on the west side of the room. Anna sat down and pulled the throw blanket over her, then pulled the heavy tome into her lap. She lightly ran her fingers over the red Triquetra emblazoned on the thick leather cover, then opened the Book and carefully flipped through the worn yellow pages. She loved just browsing through the Book. It somehow helped her feel more connected with her ancestors. Made her feel more like a Halliwell. She couldnt really explain it, but the Book of Shadows always seemed to calm her down, kind of like a security blanket.

He faded in using the powers of the athame he stole from his darker halfs chamber in the underworld as a red aura faded from around him and he appeared as he looked at anna, he had a long line of blood dripping from the right sleeve of his shirt and drip drops fell on the oak floor of the attic as he stared at anna and dropped the power stealing athame as the power faded and he collapsed to the ground, he was breathing heavy and didn't say anything to her just stared at her, you could see the innocence in his eyes that wasn't their before when he was in half demon and than finally he knew he had to say something. " Your in danger..."

"Your in danger..."
Anna jumped as he reappeared and the Book flew from her grasp and under a far table.
"What the hell...?!" she cried, scrambling to her feet.
She was torn; she wanted to help him desperately, but he had also tried to kill herself and her cousin. She didnt know whether to heal him or vanquish his sorry ass for good.
"What the hell are you doing here?! How'd you find me?!" she demanded, kicking the athame under the couch.

He looked at the athame. " the power stealing athame has alot of powers my demonic half stole..which is the same person who i made a blood oath with but it seems he wants me dead to spare me from seeing you and your family get destroyed...ahh...i guess deep down inside he thinks am a threat to him in somekinda way and i thought he wouldn't figure out that i still have power over him even though were seperated...".

Anna fixed him with a hard glare, her hands balled into fists at her sides.
"What are you talking about?" she said coolly.
She was trying to play the 'tough witch' part, but it wasn't working so well. It has happening to her again. She was being drawn in by him. Something was swaying her. She fought desperately against herself, trying to maintain control of her own body.

"Anna baby you still got that light Ii saw even when I was a demon...I thought it was a demon thing but...ahhhh! it must be...a human thing...a love thing..."
Her breathing became rigid as she painfully tore her gaze from his. She opened her mouth to call for somebody, anybody, but no sound came out. She heard a thud and looked back to him. He had passed out. Anna crossed to the cabinet behind the podium and found a small red pouch.
She walked back over to the boy on her floor and sprinkled some silver dust onto him. His wounds were healed immediately. She replaced the pouch in the cabinet and then placed five white crystals in a circle around Carnell, entrapping him in a crystal cage. She sat back on the couch and watched him, fighting to keep her head straight.

He slowly emerged from the ground below as he groaned. " ahh...feels like a damn hangover...ahhhhhhh!" he placed a hand on his arm and than got to his feet as he stared at her and than tried to move towards her and than felt a slight shock. " ow!!" he than tilted his head to the side and looked at her. " Anna what's going on?" The demon shimmered in beside the crystal cage as he smirked. " I think she doesn't know about me..." he formed a energy ball in his hand. " oh and by the way...my human half...am not gonna need you much longer that's why...am making you think i need you alive...soon enough my plan will come to pass and you will be destroyed..." he laughed. " hahahaha!".

"hahahaha!"
Her gaze flickered to the demon and instinctively, her hands shot out to blow him up.
"Get the hell outta my house, before I vanquish you," she warned.

The demon looked at his hand as the energy ball blew up in his face from her action and he flew into the wall, the human half in the cage looked at Anna and said. " the athame! protect it!". the demon looked at the athame and than at anna as he smirked he held his hand out towards her as he attempted to strangle her from a far. " i got extra power..thanks to your mother...brother of mine.." he laughed. " haha...watch as your woman dies infront of you while you can't do anything..".

"haha...watch as your woman dies in front of you while you can't do anything..."
Anna gasped as the air was being choked out of her. She orbed out then orbed back in behind the couch, reached underneath and pulled the athame from it. She jumped to her feet and threw the athame into his heart.
"I SAID get the HELL outta my house before I vanquish you! Maybe next time, you'll listen. You have NO idea who you're dealing with," she said angrily.

The Demon looked at Anna and smiled and than at the athame as his own power backfired on him as a huge amount of energy erupted from the athame into him and overloaded him with power as he looked at anna and said. " it's now over...wont be the first time i was in the wasteland...haha" whoooosssshhh. the human half looked at Anna as he said. " baby watch out!".

"...baby watch out!"
She didn't even blink before she was engulfed in white lights and whisked away. Moments later she reappeared in the same manifestation on the opposite side of the attic.
"What the hell was that?" she demanded.

He looked at her and saw that the athame and the demon were gone and it seemed he was vanquished as he looked at anna and said. " I don't know but can i get out of here?". he had a smile on his face.

"I don't know but can I get out of here?"
Without even thinking, she stepped forward and kicked a crystal away, disabling the cage. Big mistake. The closer she was to him the less control she had over herself. Instantly she threw her arms around his neck and pulled him towards her and kissed him. A few moments later she pulled away, but continued to stare up at him.
