Something in the Way

Abigail van Alstine was once a popular girl at her school and a cheerleader. She lived in Colorado Springs and was the only daughter of the town Pastor and his church going wife of. After returning home late from a football game that the team won, Abby is scolded by her father for returning home late, drunk (she wasn't, she only had one beer) and he was worried the neighbors would think her a slut and think of of their family. He smacks Abby across the face after she talks back to him.

The next day Abby asks some of her friends to come over her house for bible study. Abby tells her parents why her friends are there. They ask to join her but she tells them it would be weird and she would get nervous. She tells her friends that she lied and she has a spellbook. Abby's natural magical abilities manifest as she reads the book and inadvertently summons a demon who proceeds to kill her parents and study group and sets the house ablaze. Abby escapes but the police have arrived and try to bring her in for questioning. Abby, still very emotional, accidentally kills the policemen and then loses consciousness. She awakens in a holding cell and is conversing with a girl she knows only to realize the girl died many years ago. Abby is abducted by a cult who want her to summon their leader, the Demon Mali.

Before she can do this the ceremony is interrupted by Locke, an ancient sorcerer who prevents this from happening. He whisks Abby away to Los Angles and Abby begins learning magic from him.

Lithium

One month later Locke enrolls her in a local high school. The first day she is picked on by the popular girl and she is unable to cope due to all the residual trauma and grief that she is still dealing with. She meets Ana, a punk girl who knows of the craft. Some time later a boy that Abby just met, Curtis, commits suicide after being tempted by Berzelius, the demon of suicide. He is found by Janice, his best friend, Abby and Gabriel.

Later Abigail and Janice make plans to sleep at Janice's house as her parents are away until the following day. Janice claims she is ok to be left alone but Abby assures her that she too does not wish to be alone. When Abigail arrives the door is open and she hears a muffled cry. Upon venturing into the house she witnesses Berzelius dragging Janice to the basement (actually his realm). Berzelius wants Janice and Abby to kill themselves but not before Abigail releases Mali. Ana and Gabriel arrive to help Abby vanquish the demon and Janice, not being in touch with "the way" thinks she just fell through the stairs.

In the aftermath Janice has found closure with Curtis' death after the funeral and she and Abigail remain good friends. Abby officially becomes friends with Gabriel and Ana and Locke takes her as his apprentice. Abbey then watches the sunset and thanks her parents for the magic they bestowed upon her with their love.

New York Incident

Sometime later Abby journeyed to New York City during the summer on a field trip. Since moving to California Abby has gotten into art and her school sponsored a trip for the class to visit the MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art). While looking over the various exhibits Abby was drawn to a sacrificial dagger. She was accosted by a naked man who broke into the glass case and impaled the dagger through his skull. When Abby came to she was interviewed by Detective Sara Pezzini. Abby told her about her supernatural history sensing that she could trust Sara. She resurrected the man who revealed he had been possessed by a demon named Beelaroth. The Weaver's blade was enchanted and he used the blade to sever the demons connection with him, even at the cost of his life.

After explaining the situation to Sara, Abby found herself drawn to the blade again and upon pricking her own finger on the blade she discovered that Mali had been residing within her since she summoned him. Mali tried scaring Abby as he had in the past but Abby has now been trained by Locke in the ways of magic. With the aid of the Witchblade, the two banished Mali for the time being and Abby returned from her trip knowing she had a new friend and that there were others in the world like her.

Artifacts

Abigail is drawn into the conflict of the 13 Artifacts when the knowledge that the Heart Stone resides in either Mali, Abby or both of them. Sara travels with Jackie Estacado from New York City through the dark realm to California to collect Abby before harm can befall her. Abby agrees to help Sara and her associates consisting of Tom Judge, Patience the Magdalena, Danielle Baptiste The Angelus, Jackie and Sara.

The group is attacked by Aphrodite IV and Cyberforce as the Cyborg has tricked the other heroes into believing that they seek to destroy the universe. Cyber Force and Sara's team defeated Aphrodite and mange to get the location of the Survivors location from her mind.

Unfortunately the group is defeated by Aphrodite cyborgs and Glorianna Silver. The Survivor then removes the two parts of the Heart Stone from its hosts and reforges it into one artifact.

Once the majority of the artifacts and their hosts are captured, The Survivor removes the two halves of the Heart Stone and unites the two parts making it whole again. Abby, Patience and Michael Finnegan are prisoners but Finn manges to free himself and then Patience. Finn dies trying to save Hope Pezzini and Patience and Abby retrieve their artifacts and join in the final battle. During this event, he sought to kill Abby but before he could strike the killing blow he was impaled through the by back the Magdalena with the Spear of Destiny.
