Act 1 : The beginning of the end.
[Stretching her leg on top of the table in a criss cross manner. Her hands are folded and kept against the chair on which she is sitting and the head resting on those hands are deep in thoughts. Her blue, cold, sharp, uninterested eyes are concentrated on that brown messy hair of her which have grown longer in these two years. Lazily trying to blow them off from her face while slightly rocking the chair. The white dress is now changed to a hard armor and the sword still hanged loosely from her waist inside of that old scabbard.
All the high ranked angels are sitting around the table waiting for the Queen to enter and the meeting to begin. Anne is now the general of the angels army. The door opened as Gabriel entered through it all the angels stood in respect except Anne who was now dozing. Gabriel making an air of importance gestures them to sit down them stands behind Anne's chair and hits her on the head with the wand Gabriel always carry.]
Anne : (waking up) Who the Fuck? (then sees Gabriel's face as she looks up) Ops.
Gabriel : Mind your language young lady (returns to her sit) And what type of sitting posture is that?
[Anne putting down her legs from the table and sits properly. Looking at everyone uninterestedly who were glaring angrily at her.
The table was set in the middle of the large hall with chairs placed for each officials. Nothing much of interest is here except for the portrait of Gabriel and the large windows from which sunlight enters. The whole place is white washed.]
Anne : (annoyed) Stop glaring or I shall pull out those eyes from their sockets!
Gabriel : (calmly) Stop it.
Angel 1 : (disgusted) I just wonder how could a princess speak like that? Especially to her elders!
Angel 2 : Queen don't take me wrong but I hope that princess mends her manners before the crown ceremony or else you can understand.
Anne : (getting up from her chair) I need to leave....time for my practice.
[Without any further words she reached for the door opening it. Then turning back looks at the angels present there who were whispering to each other pointing towards Anne.]
Anne : If you're courageous enough then split those words on my face, you motherfuckers!
[She goes out of the room and slams the door shut leaving behind a long silence. While walking through the long corridor a messenger girl bumps into her. Annoyed Anne looks at her.]
Anne : Whoa slow down will ya.
Girl : (panting) Sorry ma'am.
[Hurries towards the hall. Anne merely looks at her direction then shrugging walks off. That girl rushes inside of the room and looks at the angels terrified.]
Girl : (trying to catch her breath) H-He is awake! And killed all the guardian angels!
[Meanwhile in hell a man sitting on his throne was swirling the glass filled with blood on his one hand and messing with his magic on the other. Taking a sip of the blood he puts down the glass. Running his hand over his black hair mischievously and looks towards Gabriel Heart with his red sharp eyes twisting his finger and tilting his head a little. Grins evilly showing his sharp teethes.]
Asmodeus : So that fallen failed me. (Smirks evilly)
[He merely waved a sign turning
the village into to a desert and it's people skeletons buried under the sand. The surrounding forest dried up. And the crystal clear lake water changed into poison.]
Asmodeus : Anne! I am coming for you!
[Looking out from the balcony Anne is deep in her thoughts. Tears roll down from her eyes as she thinks of Axel. A knock is heard at the door.]
Anne : (still looking outside) Come in.
[The small room contains a single bed at the left hand extreme corner. The wall is full of war trophy and shields. The cupboard is full of swords and knifes. Her armor lay on her bed. A book rack stands on the right hand side along a study table. The empty canvas is waiting for the first stroke in the middle of the room and few paintings hanged on the wall beside the trophies and shield. On the study table a mouth organ is kept which is Anne's favorite instrument whenever she is lonely she plays it. The open balcony is attached with the room. Through which fresh air comes in all day long.
A boy with black hair enters the room with red roses in his hand. Walks towards Anne then kneeling down puts forward those roses and looks at Anne. Then blushing.]
Boy : P-Princess (looks down) I-I love y-you.
Anne : (looks around searching for something) where I kept it?
Boy : what are you searching for? Can I help you?
Anne : um...looking for my hammer...
Boy : (surprised) Why?
Anne : To crack your skull!
[ He runs out of the room crying as Crystal enters the room. She has a long bluish hair and light blue eyes her skin is rather pale and though she is of the same age as Anne she is much shorter than her. She is wearing a white gown and a tiara made of flowers. Unlike her eyes are full of kindness.]
Crystal : (worried) Now what happened princess.
Anne : Nothing just a psycho. And stop calling me princess (glares at her)
Crystal : (ignoring her second remark) Well everyone is doing their best to impress you for tomorrow's ball.(smiles)
Anne : (scratching her head trying her best to remember) um...what ball?
Crystal : That's why I tell you repeatedly to be attentive in the meetings.
Anne : What the fuck....just tell me already!
Crystal : Tomorrow's ball is going to held so that you can select a suitor for yourself.
Anne : Fuck Off! You peeps already know that I.....never mind leave me alone I want to sleep....Imma tired.
[Crystal leaves her alone and goes out of the room. She lays on her bed looking towards the ceiling with sadness in her eyes.
After a while she falls asleep. In her dreams she saw the condition of Gabriel Heart, how it is now nothing but a graveyard in the form of a desert. Skeletons of humans...vampires and demons wondering around. The forest dried up. And the poison lake....but apart from these she saw a person beckoning her from darkness "Anne....soon enough you'll be mine....." She wakes up screaming. Gabriel and Crystal rushed in. Anne looked at them scared and sweating. She was breathing heavily and was trying to calm down. Gabriel sits beside her stroking Anne's hair.]
Gabriel : (worried) What happened Anne?
[Crystal stood at the corner silently... As she knows very well that if the queen herself was here then a maid like her has no right to speak. But she was worried about her friend the princess and could only look at her to show her concern.
Anne looked at her mother and then diverting her attention towards Crystal she smiles warmly. She knows very well that Crystal is concerned about her.]
Anne : Crystal....can you bring me some water....
[Bowing at them she disappears then reappears with a glass of water and gives it to Anne. Who drinks it immediately and puts the glass on the side table. Then looking at them gives a nervous laugh.]
Anne : Don't over think... I am alright.
Gabriel : (in a serious tone) Gabriel Heart is no more....
Anne : (murmuring to herself) so the dream was true....
[The very next morning Anne made a trip back to earth and flew towards Gabriel Heart. What she saw was horrifying. Where ones humans lived was now a vacation spot for vampires and devils! Vultures are flying around the skeletons. Anne sat on a nearby tree which was dried up and has become black in colour. In fact all the trees have turned black. Anne is biting her lip angrily as she watched at village. Thinks "it is impossible to say who is whom among these skeletons" she shakes her head sadly.
As she started walking towards the lake few of the vampire blocked her way attacking her. Taking out her sword she slaughters them. Then sitting near the lake she touched it using her purifying magic making the poison change back to crystal clear water. She tried to purify the whole village but fails maybe because she lacks that magic power to convert the village in its former form. As the sun began setting she returned to the palace.
The palace is been decorated with flowers and balloons the large ball room was waiting for Anne to arrive the angels are holding drinks in their and chatting. Boys are at their best today laughing nervously at each other with the same aim of impressing the princess. And why not?! After all whoever will marry her shall be the king!
Uninterested Anne walked past everyone through the large ball room entering her room and slams the door. She sat on her bed and murmured angrily. Crystal appears in her room]
Crystal : Prin...
Anne : (coldly giving her a death glare) Fuck Off...I want to sleep...
[Crystal disappears and Anne falls asleep on her bed.]
Asmodeus : Anne....come to me....
Anne : W-Who are you?
Asmodeus : The person whom you're searching for (evil smirks)
Anne : You! You son of a bitch! You did that to Gabriel Heart!
[Anne opens her eyes and finds herself floating in mid air!]
Asmodeus : Hello sweet heart!
Anne : What do you want?!
Asmodeus : Marry me (smirks)
[At this Anne spits on his face. An angry Asmodeus drops her down.]
Asmodeus : You bitch! Now you shall pay!
[Using magic he makes a boy appear in front of her that boy had off white hair and black eyes. Seeing him tears rolls down her eyes and she rushes towards him hugging him.]
Anne : (crying) Axel....
[At that time he stabbed her in the belly with his sword. Anne moving little away from him holding the injured place with her hand looks at him in disbelief.]
Anne : B-But why?
Asmodeus : (giving out a evil laugh) As can see that he is already dead and is but a puppet of mine.
Anne : You moron!
Asmodeus : (yawning) You talk too much.
[Chants some spell making roots appear surrounding Anne! The more she struggled the tighter it became. Absorbing her magical powers. Roots started growing in it's size currently it is suffocating her.Anne is starting to feel weak will she able to escape? Or die?]
