He still looked away from her.
He knew the decision wasnt easy and she wasn't making it easy for him, even though he spent decades without her and the reason for him betraying his dark destiny was a answer to a question he didn't have at all.

Shadow sighed softly. "Well, for one, you go running around the underworld just to vanquish Carnell and you don't have the will to do it." Shadow shook his head, he wasn't saying what he wanted. "Okay, you're just going to get all out Shadow..This is ridiculous, if you really want to know. You make a potion, tons upon tons of bottles and you don't use one of them. You have to fight with yourself just to make a clear decision and it isn't making any sense anymore. Your life is full of drama and hectic situations that you have to adapt to. No one had said your relationship with Carnell would be easy, because we all know it's not. You have to do more than just fight with yourself to decide a solution to one problem."
Shadow looked over to Carnell, "And you! If you love Anna as much as you say you do and as much as you act you do, then stop walking away and start standing up. It might have been a good idea to tell Anna of your plan, she is a smart girl and she is strong, she can handle herself in many different types of situations, you don't need to have the feeling that you need to protect her, it's foolish. So both of you just need to stop fighting against each other and work with each other if you want this to work at all."
Shadow fell silent. That was the most he had spoken within meeting them two.

He turned and walked over to Shadow looked him square in the eye. " You don't know anything about me...all you know is what they tell you.." he pointed up. " You never lived my life..so don't give me a story about fighting or acting..if i was acting i wouldn't of nearly gotten myself killed...a second time trying to fight for what i believe in..." he looked at Anna. " But he's right..we do need to work together..."
He sighs.

Anna stared at Shadow in shock. That was the first time she'd heard him speak his mind like that.
"But he's right. We do need to work together..."
Her gaze shifted back to Carnell.
"What about the rules though? A Demon and a Whitelighter?" she asked.

He looks at Shadow. " No one knows if i survived...no one down their and no one up here...i didn't use my own magic to get here...so theirs no way anyone could of tracked me..."
He looked at Anna. " Since when have you cared about the rules?"

Shadow sighed softly, "Screw the rules! I do it all the time, reason why I'm not an elder." He walked over to the Book of Shadows, he was now just having random outbursts, which he needed to calm down. He opened the Book and started to flip through it as he took deep, calming breaths.

"Screw the rules! I do it all the time, reason why I'm not an Elder."
"I care about the rules---now---cause I've seen what ignoring them can do to a family! My Aunt Phoebe and Cole ignored the rules, and she became Queen of the Underworld and almost broke up the Power of Three! And my parents? I dont have a father because they chose to ignore the rules!" she cried, a tear falling silently down her cheek.

He walked over to her and embraced her body tightly as he kissed her on the cheek.
" Because Anna..am dead...that's why...to the underworld I'm dead...as far as the elders know...i vanished off the grid..right Shadow?"
He held her shaking as if he was about to lose one battle he couldn't afford to lose and was terrified.

Shadow sighed softly, "Dear Anna..the rules are just guidelines. They help you sometimes and sometimes they don't. That's what they are there for. Your Aunt Pheobe was the Queen of the underworld because, at first, she chose to be, she wanted to be with Cole. Your mom and dad are as they are because one or both gave up fighting. There is loop holes in every rule in ever path. You just have to look hard enough." His gaze returned to the Book of Shadows, he had regained his calm nature and was back to being simply silent.
Shadow looked up to Carnell as he was addressed, "Yes. That display you put on has made many believe you are dead. As long as you can keep your self control. There shouldn't be any problem at all."

"Because Anna...I'm dead...that's why...to the Underworld. I'm dead...as far as the Elders know...I've vanished off the grid...right Shadow?"
She let herself lean against him. She didnt have the strength to stand, her head was swimming.
"But..."

He smiled and than leaned his head down as he moved Anna's chin and head upward as he kissed her on the lips very passionately, he had stopped shaking after Shadow addressed him.
" See nothing to worry about...don't cry Annababy..please don't cry..i can go without using my powers..trust me..if might not be easy for the first couple of days to a week...but i can manage.." he wiped the tear from her cheek as he looked at her.
He looked at her and than followed through with.
" This will work...if the elders find out...wont be the worse of battles i've been through...remember i survived a battle with thousands of demons...anything else...would be...a walk in the park.." he hugged her tightly.

Shadow glanced back up at the two, "If you would like, I can keep an ear to rumors up there about the happenings around the underworld. It's simple. The elders have a favor for me, I can almost get anything out of them." He shrugged as he glanced back down at the Book, "It'll give you a good advantage in many situations that may come up and it'll keep you informed on what the rumor of Carnell contains."

"It'll give you a good advantage in many situations that may come up and it'll keep you informed on what the rumor of Carnell contains."
She nodded towards Shadow, resting her head against Carnell's chest. She was utterly exhausted; she could barely keep her eyes open.
"Sounds like a plan," she murmured, stifling a yawn.

He picked Anna up into his arms as he looked at Shadow.
" I guess I owe you one...consider our friendship..a half a favor.."
He walked off out of the attic with Anna in his arms as he headed down the hallway towards Anna's bedroom.

Shadow watched the two leave, nodding to Carnell, before orbing out.
