For Love
Chapter 1: They Meet
Gabriel Bowman looked up from rearranging various items in his shop the Talismaniac when he heard a knock on his door. He went to answer it.
"Who is it?" He asked before opening the door.
"I'm looking for Gabriel Bowman. You know where I can find him?" Came the reply. By the voice, he could tell it was a girl.
"You've come to the right place," he said as he opened the door and let the girl in. "I am Gabriel." When he saw the girl his jaw dropped. She was as tall as he was with longish raven-black hair that had obviously been dyed because a half inch of golden-blonde roots showed through. The girl had icy- blue sapphire eyes and a very lithe frame. She was wearing a pair of blue jean shorts that revealed some very long legs and a crimson tank top.
Gabriel quickly corrected the problem with his jaw and got down to business. "Are you looking for something?" He asked.
"Yeah, a picture of Joan of Arc. Would you happen to have it?" The girl asked.
"Possibly. I'll go check." Gabriel replied and strode over to his computer to look it up. He found it under "Sold." "Sorry, I don't have it."
"That's alright… Hey, are you going to be at the Slider tonight?" She asked. The Slider was a night club and/or hangout that certain bands liked to play at.
"Yeah. Who's playing tonight?" He asked.
"I am." The girl smiled and left before Gabriel could say anything.
Later that night….
Gabriel arrived at the Slider at exactly 8:00 – just before most bands played their sets.
"Ladies and Gentlemen allow me to introduce Summer Skye!" The announcer cried, and ran off stage as "Summer" slowly walked on stage. As soon as she reached the microphone she said, "Alright, let's get this straight before I begin. My name is Jenevieve Adianna Pierson. I go by Adianna. Summer Skye is the name of my sister's band. Don't call me Summer." She said. "I'm going to start you off with one of my favorite songs. It's called The Wielder." Adianna introduced her first song and then began to play, with the back up behind her.
"She wanders through the streets,
Taking in her surroundings
The night is deep,
Who can say what she is thinking!
She alone faces the darkness!
She alone faces the night!
She alone protects the innocent,
She is the wielder! She is the Wielder!
She temps the darkness with her blade,
She keeps all of us here safe
She wields a gauntlet on her hand
A weapon we don't understand!
She alone faces the darkness!
She alone faces the night!
She alone protects the innocent,
She is the wielder! She is the Wielder!
She is… she is… She is the wielder!
She is… She is… She is the wielder!
She is… She is… She is… The wielder!"
The crowd cheered. They all loved the song… including Gabriel who thought the song was describing his friend Detective Sara Pezzini and her bracelet which was known as the Witchblade.
