Sons of Destiny
Annie is shown briefly. Her first encounter was when Darren was spying on her through a fence of their old house. Annie had Darius out of wedlock after Steve had convinced Annie that he loved her. One night close to the end of her pregnancy, Steve returned and started to mock Annie and shake her violently, saying "Its too late now!" Darius's father is Steve. Annie learns that her brother, Darren, is still alive. She also learned her son, Darius, was a half vampaneze until Darren made the difficult decision to re-blood him, knowing they could both die. Thankfully, they both survived. Then Alice guided them to another town far far away from where they lived just in case Steve tried to attack them and take them hostage. She is not seen again.
