So far this story should not be called "Anna's awakening". More like "Anna's downfall". We got glimpses of this goddess, but it seems like Anna is going to die soon. (Of course she isnt gonna die, but u know what I mean.)

The story has been covered up in lies. Who is going to unravel the truth?

We got a lying mother that lies not just to the world, but to her own daughter. Serves her right for her new husband Jerry to get destroyed. That's right, no more fun for you Darlene.

Next we got this community that accepts the sacrifice of a girl. You would think that this would be some strange community in a cave or something, but no, these are parents and a freaking school principal! Like wtf! These role models for children are sacrificing this girl.

Next up, we got these stupid camera crew that I just wanna slap em and steal their cameras and record them instead. Like they are so nosy and it bugs me that this could be any celebrity instead. I mean, isn't there other news going on in this neighborhood? Sure Anna got scars, but that's all the public knows. They just witnessed domestic abuse, and it's the top story in this town? No robberies, hostage situations, missing people? Man, this town is boring. And why didn't they film Anna as they left the house with her mom and Brenda? They decided it wasn't important anymore?

Now the police. So we got all these guys in uniform that are ordered to take Adam to jail and now that he is freed, they can go back and get him? I know there is some proximity rule after coming out of jail, but wow, someone calling 911 already! Damn. It would've been funny if a famous prisoner got out and walked to reporters like "Yo, I'm back" and scare the crap out of everyone. And now the cops are going after the man trying to save Anna and not after the mom who wants to kill her.

Basically, this is one big mess and only one thing can stop it. Ianna. Why? well, she is a goddess and is basically invincible. She can then roam out and soon people will understand why Adam is cutting Anna. In addition, Darlene is not completely aware of Ianna's power. She and Brenda were stunned at the death of Jerry and Caleb.

I kinda wish Anna made up a lie to Darlene. She could've said "oh, the dark thing inside me told me a message." "What is it darling"? her mother asked. "Well, the dark thing said that I must not die this year, or else the thing will come out and...." Anna's voice trailed off. "What is dear? Tell me, please! I can help." Darlene asked. Anna nodded her head. "....and kill you" she finished. Darlene took a step back and a moment of silence filled the room.

Man, Darlene is just too confident. I wish Anna would've said something like that to her.

Wow, rarely do I get pissed off of characters. Good job. It's been a while since I became connected to a story like that. I want to fix it asap!

I haven't said this in any other story, but I'm going to insert the "really's" in this one.

I really, really can't wait for the next chapter!

It's awesome to hear a character has stirred an emotional response in a reader means I'm doing something right. There is still a fair bit left to this story and there will be more surprises along the way. As always thanks for tracking not just this story but pretty much all of them. It's rewarding and gratifying when people take the time to share their thoughts ideas as the story unfolds.
