That night with Sally

Wilbert : * knocks on the door * Sally, thank you for being there with me .

Sally : Your welcome...please just go...( looks at the door close but hears him.)

Wilbert : I know you'd had feelings for me , this whole time Sally. I just -

Sally opens the door and sees Wilbert .

Sally : Then why do you not want to let go of Annie?! We both saw her , she's dead , do you really think Maralis can heal her and everything? You trust everyone you see when it comes to Annie and yet -

Wilbert : ( hugs Sally) Listen to me ,I agree I noticed to late and I'm so stupid .

Sally : (pushes Wilbert back and slaps him on the face ) Don't touch me so carelesly !!

Wilbert : I'm not like Annie , this is not out of pity...just tell me how to let her go...because this is very new ...I saved her once but I couldn't a second time.( sniff)

Kaine : ( hides from the side of the wall) *in her head :Wait ,mom died!? what are they talking about...this can't be.( hits a near by cabinet and runs off.)

Both Wilbert and Sally get startled.

Sally : No , someone saw us...( slams door on Wilbert.)

With Maralis and Xell underground

Xell : Now that I see her she does look like you ,how is that possible?

Maralis: I don't know ...could this be my twin I was told ...that I had ?!

Xell : If so the ritual should work ...

Maralis : ( Touches Annie's hand )

Memories of Annie

-Flash backs -

" ***To marry him or to just stay the way I am "

"Why did you leave me alone like this ?"

" No ,I can't see his body ,I DIIDN' T WANT THAT TO BE THE LAST IMAGE OF HIM. "

" No ,no ,I don't want to marry him out of pity '"

"You must, if you don't want the scandal of having a bastard child "

" Jensen please come back safely I must tell you something".

'" I'll make it back ,don't worry ...* smiles and waves back"

Maralis*** : *Jensen , he looks familiar ...Jensen , Jensen ...

Jensen : I did , but what are you doing here?!

Maralis : I was trying to revive her ,but it seems this isn't working . People want her to live but she -

Jensen : She wants to be free ...set her free

Maralis : That's not what I been told ...

Jensen : Her memories clearly say that ...

Maralis : Are you going to follow her? I mean ...I was the last person to see you alive ...I shouldn't have told you were to go....she Annie was my sister and she forgotten about me ....even you .

Jensen : Just get her out of this , she needs to be set free . I think our parents made us forget you...I don't know why.

Maralis : They will never know I was their aunt .

Annie : Wait ...you are not me ? Then why !?

Maralis : I am your twin sister Annie , we five grew up together not three.

Annie : I beg you ,set me free ...

Maralis : If I do that man will not like this ,all I wanted was his trust . So he could remember me*.

Annie : A sister ?! I can't believe this ...who would mess with my memories ?

Maralis: You did kill yourself, people who throw away their life ...

Annie : ( holds Maralis hand) No please save me ...I can't be -

Maralis: I will not be the judge of you ,it's your resolve.

Annie : How did I die ? I thought I couldn't die .

Maralis: May have been killed by what kills your kind.

Those monsters who ravage many.

Annie : I just want to go back ...please just...

"You quit loving your giver of a second life , this Link Blood *only works to love one another . You don't love him anymore".

Annie*: I'd be lying if I didn't say it was the truth..( sniff)

Maralis: Annie no , you must live!!

Annie: (Screams out loud) THAT WASN'T ME!! MY FEELING'S WERE FORCED TO LOVE HIM.

Maralis: Of course his blood turned you into a vex blood, so then you woke up ...

Annie: Not as myself... I wanted to love him but I just couldn't...I lied about my feelings....

We ask you to let go of these feelings of a forced love ,of a lost love. Of blood not meant to be with you.

You will be set free; if you let go of your life of a Vexed Blood.

Annie: I keep lying to myself... ( crying )I wanted to live for Wilbert...until he passed and then I would -

Such a person who just wants death ,you gave birth to children and just wants to die. Did you regret this false love!?

Annie : It's tough to explain this..I loved Wilbert, not only did he save me but we have three children. Are they also under a forced spell?!

Only those who died and were given blood are forced what ever the command. In your case was to love Wilbert.

Annie: Maralis please tell him ,no wait my journal give that to my daughter Kaine.But tell Wilbert " I've live my best life with him and Jensen and the family".

Maralis let's go of Annie's hand looks around.

Maralis: No! , She chose to give her life ( tear going down face.)

Xell: Well you told her the truth and she had no choice.

Maralis: This body isn't going to be her anymore ,Xell please just abandon her somewhere. ( thinks back to what Wilbert said )

"I was abandoned by my family one night and I had no memory of" - Wilbert

Maralis : You are just wanting me to repeat the cycle ?!*laughs * Oh you done it now ...I'm sorry Wilbert you have to let her go and I will keep her as a little sister. The real her is free ... probably with Jensen.

Xell: So I don't take her away...

Maralis: I gotta make Wilbert think she's gone.For now she's asleep.
