"That's the thing Annie, I could not protect you, and that will forever be on my mind" said Curtis.
"Curtis, you cannot protect someone who does not want to be protected" said Annie.
"You are not just a guardian, you are much more than that, you are family" said Annie as she smiled.
"With everything we have been through together, I… I just did not think that I could go on without you" said Annie.
"When I saw Azazel kill you… I… I was devastated, nothing else mattered to me anymore, because he had taken the most precious person I have in my life, and that is you Curtis" said Annie as she smiled.
"You think of yourself too little" she said.
"To me, you are irreplaceable, unique, and priceless, and if you don't value yourself, I do" said Annie as she smiled and she reached out to touch Curtis's face, and she shivered, he was as cold as ice.
"I have been created to help all of your ancestors beat Azazel, and I have failed at every single endeavour" said Curtis.
"It's not your fault" said Annie.
"Don't keep on putting the blame on yourself" said Annie.
"We all have a part to play if we failed, and the same with if we win" said Annie.
"So stop talking nonsense Curtis, stop blaming yourself, and please go back to the funny, loving, wonderful Curtis that I first met, the one who was always smiling, always cheerful, the one who always found a way out even if the situation seemed impossible" said Annie as she smiled.
"Because that Curtis, is my Curtis, my best friend, the one that I fought so desperately to save" said Annie as she smiled and shivered.
"Annie, it's cold out here, let's go inside" said Curtis.
"I won't go anywhere until you give me a hug" said Annie.
"But I am cold, it would only make you feel colder" said Curtis as he sighed.
"Since I am cold, what's wrong with getting colder?" asked Annie as she smiled.
"Fine, alright" said Curtis as he sighed and he shook his head, Annie was very, very stubborn.
"Is this enough for you??" asked Curtis as he gave her a quick hug and he let go of her quickly.
"I can accept that for now" said Annie as she laughed.
"You are very annoying Annie, you know that" said Curtis as he scoffed.
"I might be annoying, but I love you" said Annie as she smiled.
"Mhmm, let's go inside Annie" said Curtis as he walked inside and Annie followed after him as she smiled.
…
"Oh Hi Annie" said Maddie as she looked at Annie who had just entered their room.
"Hi Maddie" said Annie as she smiled.
"So did you talk to Aunt Stella?" asked Maddie as she smiled.
"Well yes, I did" said Annie as she smiled.
"Okay" said Maddie as she smiled.
"Gosh, why are you so cold??" asked Maddie as she touched Annie's arm.
"I was outside with Curtis" said Annie.
"Gosh, you are freezing" said Maddie as she waved her hand from Annie's head to her toes.
"There, now that feels better" said Maddie as she touched Annie's arm once again and she smiled.
"Thank you Maddie" said Annie as she smiled.
"Anytime" said Maddie as she smiled.
"I am tired, I am going to bed now" said Annie.
"Alright, goodnight Annie" said Maddie as she smiled.
"Goodnight Maddie" said Annie as she smiled, Maddie was like the older sister she never had, even though they once were enemies, which made Annie laugh.
"What so funny?" asked Maddie as she smiled.
"Nothing serious Maddie, nothing serious" said Annie as she laughed and she walked to the bathroom.
"Alright then" said Maddie as she laughed and she climbed into bed, she was happy to have Annie as her roommate again, this room was very lonely and quiet without her.
…
The next morning.
"Ugh, I find this so annoying" said Annie as she groaned.
"What's annoying?" asked Maddie as she came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head, she had washed her hair this morning.
"The fact that all my clothes don't fit me anymore" said Annie as she shook hr head in annoyance.
"Just look at this, it looks like my jeans are two sizes bigger than me" said Annie as she shook her head and she showed Maddie the gap in her jeans.
Wow it was just great, not only did she loose her powers, but she is also now weaker than a human, and on top of that, she also is now smaller than all her clothes, it was just good news after good news.
"Hahah" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Why are you laughing, it's not funny" said Annie as she shook her head.
"Well it is funny, some people want to get thinner, and here you are complaining" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Well this is not a good circumstance to become thinner" said Annie as she sighed, she felt like she had lost a lot of weight, it seemed that everything about her had reduced, from her weight to even her hair, it was just so unfair, she did not ask for any of this.
"Just calm down" said Maddie as she laughed and she twirled her finger.
"There you go" said Maddie as she smiled and just as Annie blinked and looked down her jeans suddenly fit her.
"Oh my…" said Annie as she was surprised.
"Reduction spell my friend" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Well that spell is very handy" said Annie as she laughed.
"You cannot even imagine" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Isn't magic wonderful??" asked Maddie as she laughed and she removed the towel wrapped around her head as her blonde hair was very damp.
"Mhmm it is" said Annie as she smiled.
"I cannot even imagine my life without it, life would be so hard and boring" said Maddie as she laughed.
"I can just imagine" said Annie as she sighed.
"Is something wrong Annie??" asked Maddie as she noticed that Annie wasn't herself.
"No, nothing is wrong" said Annie as she smiled.
"Can we go to the library after breakfast?" asked Annie as she smiled.
"Oooh alright" said Maddie.
"Sure, of course we can" said Maddie as she smiled.
"Why do you want to go to the library?" asked Maddie as she decided to leave her hair the way she liked it, which was down.
"No reason, I just want to search for some information" said Annie.
"Oh well alright" said Maddie.
"We can tell Matt when we see him at breakfast" said Maddie as she smiled, she knew that Matt would love to come with them, and she could use that time to push Matt to do what he was supposed to do a long time ago, gosh, did she have to do everything around here??
She needed Evie here, she was sure that Evie was here, they would have both helped each other, help Matt and Annie.
"Okay" said Annie as she smiled.
…
"So what exactly are you searching for Annie??" asked Matt as he, Annie and Maddie walked into the library.
"Ahh well, I am searching for anything on a rev…" said Annie as she was cut off suddenly.
"You guys are here, finally I found you" said Curtis as he walked into the library, he was finding it hard to adjust to the fact that he was now ordinary, he could not teleport, or track Annie like he used to be able to, and so he had to think of where it was that they would go, and luckily he found them.
"Hi Curtis" said Annie as she smiled at Curtis, while Maddie and Matt just ignored Curtis was they walked away.
"Hi Annie" said Curtis as he noticed that Maddie and Matt were cold towards him.
"You need to apologize to them, they are still upset with you" said Annie as she whispered in Curtis's ear.
"Do I really have to??" asked Curtis as he looked at Annie and she gave him a stern gaze.
"*Sigh*, Alright fine, I will" said Curtis as he sighed and Annie smiled as Curtis walked to where Maddie and Matt were.
"What do you want?" asked Maddie in annoyed as she looked at Curtis, and Matt just frowned.
"I am here to apologize to you both" said Curtis.
"Hmm" said Maddie and Curtis turned to look at Annie and she gave him a thumbs up as she smiled.
"I was wrong for being cold to you guys, and being annoying for no reason" said Curtis sadly.
"And…" said Maddie as she was not going to take this, she was not going to make it easy for him at all.
"And what?" asked Curtis as he did not know what else to say.
"Say more, that cannot possibly be all you have to apologize to us for" said Maddie as she nodded her head.
"Right Matt??" asked Maddie as she turned to look at Matt.
"Right" said Matt as he nodded his head.
