Annabel was not your typical ghost. Much like Annie in that way actually, so it was no wonder they got along so well. She was incredibly busy in her after life, when she wasn't spying for Camelot she was diligently haunting the castle's passageways and thoroughly lurking around the reincarnate boards. Yes, Annabel was very busy. But not busy enough to ignore the show from whence she and Annie came that had more or less turned her entire un-life upside down in the past few weeks. Annie had been uncharacteristically mum on the entire subject of Mitchell for some time now and no amount of nagging had gotten the other ghost to budge, so with each week that passed Annie just got surlier and surlier as the episodes continued. Very unlike her, or at least she liked to think so. Annabel had never been one to admit to her tendency to mood swing, but even this was far out of the norm for her. Seeing Mitchell die at the end of this season had done two things to her. One, her internal freak out had caused all the lamps in the room to short circuit, and two. She'd started visiting their old home in Bristol almost every day.
That was where she'd gone tonight after checking in with Tatiana in the reconnaissance office. If you asked her she couldn't really tell you why. Nostalgia? Most likely, but what for? For an after life that hadn't technically been hers, but she and Annie were so nearly one ghost now that it almost felt like she'd lived through it all too. Well, live was the wrong term maybe, but you know. Experienced it. Everything Annie felt, Annabel felt. Including everything she felt for Mitchell and it was starting to confuse the hell out of Annabel at this point, she needed more time to herself. For a ghost, she wasn't exactly alone.
She never visited their house in Wales for a number of reasons. First and foremost because it hadn't really been their house, the house in Bristol would always and forever be theirs. The fact that Annie had died in it hadn't changed that, but the fact that Mitchell had died in Wales kept Annie and Annabel from holding any desire to visit that house. No, they wanted something as comforting as it was familiar, so that's how they ended up popping into the dark, empty house in Bristol late Saturday evening. She just wanted a little peace and quiet for once before heading back to the castle that never slept.
