Midnight Confessions
       Caleb rolled them onto Annabelle's back as he looked down into her eyes. "This ain't restin' darlin'." He said as they both gasped for air covered in sweat.
       "Wasn't my idea." She pointed out as she reached up running her fingers through his hair back off his face.
       "Didn't exactly protest either, did ya now." He responded. "Good to know you're only improving on what i've taught you, from all this practicin' lately."
      "How would I know anything else?" She asked softly.
      "Exactly the question I'd be askin' and you'd be havin' to do some explainin'" He said seriously, "You were with those dirty whores for a few weeks. Lord knows what they tried to corrupt you with."
      Annabelle cocked her head slightly when he said that. "Do you mean the clothing?" She asked.
       "Only partly, you know full well that the purpose of such trappin's are. Everythin' they do, everythin' they say, all of it is to attract men and steal their senses. Like a black widow luring flies into it's web. What should be a sacred and secret act between a husband and wife, and use it as a weapon to get what they want." Caleb explained.
       She looked into his blue eyes, "Do I . . . do that?" She questioned.
       "You been taught better then that. You had the disadvantage of bein' born a woman. You've managed to overcome that. We've cleansed and purified you, and you've proven yourself in your duties as a wife to me." Annabelle smiled a little hearing the sincerity in his praise. "Instead of tryin' to school you in all the ways of their world, maybe they should have taken a lesson or two from you."
       Caleb looked into her eyes before taking a deep kiss holding her tight against her. Annabelle returned the kiss eagerly, resting her hands on his shoulders. He continued to lavish affection on her, kissing down her face to her neck, then her shoulder. Annabelle breathed deep as she clung to him. Her eyes opened slowly looking up at the ceiling, her eyes covered in what looked like silver with a shined mirror surface.
Backfires
       "Neutral." Caleb said starring at the creature, "What does that mean she's 'neutral'."
        "Exactly what it sounds like. The greatest, strongest source of power that had been created, isn't picking a side. She doesn't intend to use her power for me or the Slayers." It starred at him, and extremely displeased look on it's face at this development.
        "That can't be right, you must be mistaken. She's been preparin' herself for this . . . she was ready. She is ready. She wouldn't go back on everythin' like that." Caleb said in shock.
       "You did this." It said. Caleb looked over at it, "Because of you, she would rather opt out of the fight all together. She wants to run away and hide, because of you."
      "Me?" He said.
      "Yes you. Your the reason she doesn't want to take the risk." It snapped.
       Caleb thought for a moment, trying to think of how this could be. Then it suddenly dawned on him what was causing this unexpected turn of events. "The baby." He stated not having realized what was influencing her above everything else.
       "I did not do all of this work to bring about a completely change of the world, for something like this to ruin it all. Especially as many times as I tried to warn you." It's face darkened, "Get rid of it. Now."
       "Get rid of it . . . the child??" Caleb said in astonishment.
      "You made this mess, Caleb. It's yours to clean up. If you hadn't been so Catholic and rejected the idea of birth control before your nightly decent into carnal, animalistic pleasures that you're so noble to speak against," It said in a mocking tone, "This wouldn't have happened."
       "I told her it was safe. I told her she could keep it. You were there and you heard the conversation." Caleb said raising his voice. "I just need to talk to her."
      "Talk to her?" It said with half a laugh at the words. "Just, 'talk' to her now is it? This coming from the man whose had no trouble with keeping her in her place by any means he had at his disposal since before making her his bride? Showing her, teaching her, making her understand whose in charge every minute of every day. Who makes the rules and decisions . . . is now just going to 'talk' to her." It smirked, "You know better then most, you give a girl an inch, they'll take a mile and walk all over you. This only proves she's not exempt from the rest of the female sex like you've fooled yourself into thinking. You've willingly closed your eyes to what she's been doing, turned away ignoring her growing disobedience and now? Look what you've received in return for all your compassion and benevolence. Betrayal, unfaithfulness . . . abandonment. You think she should be rewarded for that?"
       Caleb could hardly argue with any of it. Perhaps he had been a little lax, maybe he had given a little to much leash. "Where is she."
Confrontations
       "Caleb, I can't. I just can't." Annabelle said turning and heading out the door.
       "HEY! Don't you dare walk away from me!" He shouted following after her. Annabelle stopped, her eyes wide when she heard his voice. Caleb stood behind her, his jaw clinched as he starred wildly at her. "You most certainly can, Annabelle." He said sternly, "You you might want to think real hard about defyin' me again."
       Annabelle turned and looked up at him, "I haven't defied you." She said genuinely confused by his accusation. "I've only ever done what you've asked of me."
      "Really? Somehow, withholdin' your powers that you have been given for a purpose . . for OUR purpose, speaks to the contrary." He said.
       Annabelle wished he wouldn't think that way. "I don't mean to, Caleb but its so dangerous. These abilities are so strong . . . they are so much bigger then I am. I can't even control them sometimes. It's more like they control me." She turned and started to go down the stairs, but he snatched her by the arm and pulled her back up to face him. It was unbelievable that she'd started to walk away again.
       "What is so dangerous about it?" He demanded to know. "You've become one of the fastest healers ever seen. You're protected from most harm to begin with." Caleb snapped.
       "Please . . .Caleb, it's not just me I'm worried about." She said looking pleadingly into his eyes.
       Caleb was quiet a moment as he starred at her. "Of all the things that you could have said to me right now, I truly wish it hadn't been that." With one swift and sudden move, he shoved her backwards. Annabelle was caught completely off balance and fell back down the long flight of stairs. She screamed and tried to stop as she bounced against the wall and off the railings unable to stop or catch herself. Tumbling all the way down, she landed on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. There was blood on her face, her forehead had been split at some point during the long and brutal fall.
        Caleb took a few steps down the stairs looking at the young woman severely injured, unconscious, and sprawled out at the end of the staircase. It was an extremely dangerous fall that could have easily resulted in a snapped neck.
         "Find out if it worked, before she wakes up." He said out loud knowing that the First was standing behind him having witnessed the entire thing. Caleb turned and looked at the creature, "If you can't . . . then find a way." He was angry at It, angry at Annabelle, and angry at himself. There was so much rage inside of him he could hardly control it. He looked back down at Annabelle and continued down the staircase.
To be Continued . . . . .
