[Day 236 -- Voice]
[The voice that speaks is uncertain, and a little confused. She's new to this place and still startled by the fact she's no longer a ghost.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

Am I alone here?

[She doesn't think she is, but she's been alone so long and so many times that the idea that's she alone again genuinely frightens her. She'd walked away from Jeremy for his own good, but now she didn't really understand what was happening.]

I'm Anna.

Can anyone hear me?

	Yeah, it really, really is. [For so many reasons it was awkward.] Bonnie Bennett. Do you know her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bonnie? [Her brows go up. She knew Bonnie alright. Which meant that Annabelle was from Elena's world. Which meant...oh...] Umm...tell me you two are just old high school sports rivals or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She heard the hesitation before the other girl spoke. That didn't bode well.] It was a little more complicated than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	Of course it was. [Does she tell Annabelle that there were others here? Was it really any of her business?] Still...a familiar face is better than none at all, right? [...right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Bonnie definitely wouldn't have been Anna's first choice of people to see, but she didn't hate the witch. Though she had little doubt that Bonnie hated her.] I suppose so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	[Right now, Zatanna was a little more concerned with whether or not their animosity had anything to do with Bonnie being a witch. Since...well....] Is there somebody you'd rather see? I mean--people tend to come and go here a lot. I have a few friends from home here with me right now. It happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-09-10 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	[And now Anna's a little confused.] I was hoping my mom was here. [Though she's pretty sure she won't get that lucky.] Or...my friend Jeremy. It's good you have friends here, though. I mean, aside from the fact we're all in a prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	['Jeremy' doesn't ring any bells, but she does empathize for the desire to see a parent.] Yeah, I know the feeling. I haven't seen my dad in a while, either (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-09-10 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	[And that's one of the few soft spots Anna tends to have.] I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 11:01 pm UTC (link)
	...yeah, me too. And I'm sorry you haven't found your mom yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-09-10 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Me too. [She closes her eyes, trying to push away all thoughts of her mother. She needed to learn to accept that she was never going to see her again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	You two are close, I take it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-09-10 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Yeah, we ~~were~~are. You and your dad are close, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	He was the only family I had left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-09-10 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	Me too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Is she still okay, though? Back where you come from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-09-10 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	No. She was dead. ~~So was I.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Zatanna opens her mouth.] [Then closes it again.] ...oh... [What do you even say to that?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-09-10 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [Anna still doesn't know what to say about that and it's been over a year since her mom was killed.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	['How?' The question was on the tip of her tongue. But she couldn't bring herself to ask. Less it be turned back onto her at a later time.] No other family? Friends? What...happened after you lost her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverhurthim 2013-09-10 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	No other family, no. Just Jeremy. [She hesitates a moment, drawing in a breath. She's not sure why she wants to be honest with Zatanna -- maybe because they've bonded over lost parents.] I died a few weeks later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-09-10 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	[It wouldn't be the first time she'd found herself bonding over such a thing.] But...you're here no-- [...wait. "Died" didn't always mean dead-dead.] ...umm...don't take this the wrong way or anything, but...you're not a vampire, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Anna's eyebrows arch in surprise. Most people don't know vampires are even real, let alone ask if someone is one. That says a lot to her about the kinds of things Zatanna's probably familiar with, be it from here or otherwise. But how long can she really keep something like that a secret in prison? Besides there's a Blood Shack, so that implies that there may be other vampires around already. Still, she's not used to admitting to complete strangers what she is so this is really uncomfortable and weird.]

Yeah. I am. But right before this I was a ghost. But then there was a spell and I was corporeal, and...now I'm here.

[Which makes as much sense to her as robot overlords and an underwater prison, really.]

[To Zatanna, there were basically two kinds of Vampires. There were Damon vampires, and there were Jessica vampires. Okay, maybe Eric seemed to straddle some bizzare line where she thinks she's got him figured out when he surprises her...but for the most part, it was Damon and Jessica.]

[So far, issues with Bonnie aside (and she didn't even know the details), Annabelle was leaning towards the Jessica end of the scale. Which was a good thing. Zee liked Jessica. The girl had a good sense of humor about her, and knew how to have a little fun. Priorities in life.]

[...er...after-life?]

A ghost and a vampire, huh?

Now I'm starting to think you're just showing off.

[Anna had known a lot of different kinds of vampires over the centuries. She had liked some of them, despised of them, feared some of them, but there had only been two that she had ever actually loved. Katherine, her maker, who'd betrayed her and her mother. That love had died long ago. And then there was her mother, who was now dead -- permanently dead. Unless somehow she managed to end up in this place too. That love would never really die. It was just intense and painful. Bittersweet.]

[But Zatanna's answer once more catches her off guard. Not only is she teasing, but she doesn't sound scared. So either she knew vampires from home, or she'd learned about them here and hadn't had a terrible experience.]

I've led a very interesting life? [This time her voice is a little lighter than it had been.]

Are you -- are you a vampire, too?
