aeons_crackshotShe'd been too drunk to dream the night they came in, but there's no alcohol to drown out the memory tonight.
The earth shakes, and the world is full of the terrible sound of buildings being ripped apart and the air screaming as if in agony.
The wall of white fire chases them, hunting down its prey, and Annabelle knows that no matter how hard they try, they cannot run fast enough....

A flicker of memory, of Thomas' mother's tear stained and angry face. She'd been trying to go to Thomas' funeral, but nobody in that town would even look her in the eye or acknowledge her existence. "You're not welcome here," his mother had said coldly, her tone venomous. "If it wasn't for you, my son would still be alive."

And Connor will not be hit over the night.

Date: 2010-01-26 09:28 am (UTC)Unfortunately, at some point near dawn, something goes wrong, so to speak. Maybe somebody moved in just the wrong way, or Annabelle was coming out of a dream. The world may never know.
Her subconscious mind detects someone gripping her waist and responds to the threat without bothering to check in with the rest of her brain.
He's not going to get hit, but he may well end up in a choke-hold for a moment or two....

Date: 2010-01-26 01:32 pm (UTC)He had a good idea of what could happen when he took the chance, so... not going to complain.
