Chapter 4

Kaitlyn's POV

Okay, now think. What's the best time to get into Joyce's 'secret' office without being detected?

Never

I shot out of my bed, breathing hard.

What was that? That voice sounded so familiar. It was smooth. Confident and something else…

Come to my room

There it was again! Great. Now I realize who'd have the power to do that.

Gabriel, knock it off

Knock what off?

This bound. Linkage between our heads. URH!

He sent me a picture of a smiley face shaking its head.

I looked over at the clock. 2AM.

I'm going to him.

I knock on his door quietly.

He answered immediately.

Well look who it is

He smirked. I pushed passed him into his room and turned back to him once he closed the door.

"Don't ever do the link again," I growled.

"Why? Scared?

"Of you? Get a life."

"I've got one."

"Yeah, as Zetes's little pet."

He narrowed his eyes.

"You think you know everything about this place, don't you? Well you don't. Things have changed around here. It's not the same," he folded his arms on his chest.

"I know that you're wasting your power staying here. That crystal may be giving you power but it sucking back twice as much as it is giving. Soon or later, you're going to loose control of your power. It may be fatal," I took a step closer to him.

"Why do you care?"

"Because I care about you."

"Right. Sure. And how is running away from me caring about me?" he asked. I frowned.

"What are you on about? I never ran away. It was you who did. You betrayed me."

We were almost touching now.

"No, I never ran away. I'm not a coward."

"Oh, and I am?"

"Yes. And you betrayed me too," his eyes went a tinge softer than before.

"How?"

"By going to the Fellowship. You ran away from me. The last thing I saw of you was your back that day. You can't imagine how I felt. The woman I loved ran away from me and into the arms of the enemy!" he shouted the last bit.

"Me? If you loved me then why go back to Zetes?!" I screamed back.

"You knew all this time that I had feelings for you! Now look at us! We're in a war and on different sides! If you loved me you would be at my side!"

"And if you loved me you'd be on my side!"

We stood there both breathing heavily, never looking away. An occasional blink was all that broke the eye contact.

"Well I guess we aren't meant for each other then," I said, walking passed him.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. I didn't budge. He yanked a bit harder. I moved a little bit. Enough for him to move in front of me. He was looking at with an intense stare.

"Don't you ever say that again," he said his jaw tight.

I threw my arms up in the air.

"Do you want me or not, Gabriel. Because it seems to me that you-"

He kissed me.

He cradled my head with one hand and the other wounding around my waist.

It took me a moment to get back in the game. I cupped his face with both of my hands and deepened the kiss.

Without breaking the kiss, he slowly lowered me to the bed. We kept kissing and eventually fell back asleep.

It was seven-thirty when I woke up. I noticed something that disturbed me at first. I felt where Gabriel's head should be. On the other pillow. I reached out blinded by the sunlight and tried to feel where his body was. Finally I could open my eyes.

Gabriel was sitting on the edge of the bed on his side. I smiled sleepily, thankful that he hadn't gone anywhere. But he had his head in his hands and his back was to me.

I crawled over to him, winding my arms around his waist and giving him a backward hug. I felt him stiffen. I frowned.

"Baby, what's wrong?" I asked as I trailed kisses from one shoulder to the other. He was shirtless so it was a bit easier.

"Nothing," his voice was strained.

I stared to massage his shoulder. His muscles were so stiff, that it scared me at first. He moaned and leant back against me. I pushed the few strands of hair off his face and rubbed his stomach slowly with the other hand.

"Are you in pain?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Then what's up?"

He sighed. It took him a couple of minutes for him to answer.

"Do you feel…weak?" he whispered.

I frowned. "No, should I?"

He shook his head.

"I drained a bit of your energy. I thought that I took too much and…There was one moment last night where I thought you were dead. You didn't breathe for a whole minute. It scared me so much that I almost ….," he buried his head on my neck. I rubbed his head softly, all the while repeating 'shh' to him.

"It's okay. I'm fine. You don't need to worry," I said over and over again. I layed down and he leant his head on my stomach facing me. There was a lot of sadness mixed with relief in those beautiful eyes of his.

I decided to change the subject.

"Gabriel, I want you to promise me something."

He looked into my eyes.

"Don't consume energy from the crystal again more."

He closed his eyes. "Kait-"

"Promise," I begged. He shook his head.

"I can't stop. I'm addicted to it. If I don't use the energy from the crystal, where else am I going to get it? I live off it, Kait. If I stop, I'll die," he said.

"Then take energy from me again," I said as he got up and layed next to me. I kissed him right after I finished what I was saying. His whole body went still and he shook his head furiously, while kissing me.

"No," he growled, kissing my neck.

"But you have to," stretching my neck up as far as it could go so he had more kissing space on my neck.

"No. The crystal is what I'll use. It is what I'll always use. I'd rather take it then suck the life out of you," he started kissing on my collar bone.

"You'd stop before it came to that," I pressed.

He shook his head. "No. Never again."

"But you like my energy better then the crystals," I pressed even more.

"It doesn't matter," he was kissing up my neck.

"Yes it does," I pulled away from him. I was sitting up now looking down at him. He was frowning. He sat up.

"Kait, I'm not going to say it again. I'm not putting you in danger because of me," his eyes were serious.

A tear escaped my eye. He quickly rubbed it off, but it was no use. The tears kept coming down. He cradled me to his chest.

"I can't, Kait. I can't."

"It's making you worse," I sobbed.

"Shhh."

"It is."

"Babe just-"

I pulled away from him.

"Why do you keep running away form me?" he was utterly frustrated.

"I'm going to destroy the crystal." His head shot up.

"What?"

"You heard me."

"No, Kait. That's crazy," he took my shoulders.

"I'll destroy it for you. The Fellowship said that the shard will destroy the crystal. And it will help you too."

"It might," he corrected.

"It's worth a try."

"It's crazy."

I cupped his face in my hands. "Where is the crystal?"

He shook his head slowly. "No. I can't…no," he got off the bed and walked into the bathroom.

I followed him.

"Gabriel-"

"I can't, Kait. You're not one of us," he was leaning against the bench, his arms supporting him and he had his head down.

I came up and embraced him.

"I'll do anything you want. Anything, Gabriel. Just tell me where it is. Please."

He stared at me through the mirror and sighed.

"On two conditions."

My eyes widened. "Yeah?"

"You help me steal fifteen million dollars and you move into this room."

"Deal," I said. He turned to me.

"Are you positive?"

I put my hands on his chest. "I'm not too keen on stealing a lot of money but if that's what you want, I'll do it."

He grinned. "You won't be stealing it, I will. You just have to keep a look out on whose coming."

I nodded.

"GABRIEL! SCHOOL!" Joyce yelled.

I put my arms around his neck.

"NOW!"

"Go away," I groaned on his lips as we shared a kiss.

"Every morning. She does this every damn morning."

"I don't want you to go," I tightened my grip on him and he smiled against my lips.

"I know. Believe me I'd love to spend the day here with you," he broke the kiss.

"Not here. I hate it here," trying to kiss him again.

"Okay. Then picture us on a beach," he embraced me, kissing my shoulder.

"Hmm, that sounds nice."

"The waves are splashing at our feet."

I nodded, egging him on to continue.

"Then we're-"

"GABRIEL!!!" Joyce shouted making us both jump.

I growled against his lips.

He laughed. But it was muffled by our kissing.

"Okay, I gotta go," he was still kissing me though.

I laughed, breaking the kiss.

'I'll see you when you get home," I said.

"No, I'll see you at break. I'd rather be here with you then hang out with the players," he said, disgusted.

"I'll be waiting," I teased him by sucking on his lip.

"Keep doing that and I'll never leave," he started kissing me again.

"Bye baby," I said breaking the last kiss and heading back into his…uh I mean our room.

"Love you," he shouted.

I blew him a kiss. "Love you too. Bye," I left the room and was confronted with a very pissed off looking Dani and Lelia.

"Hey, Chico's. What's up?"

Lelia grabbed my hand.

"Talk in our room," she growled.

"Now," Dani hissed pushing me into the direction of my old room.

Dani slammed the door and locked it. Then turned to me.

"Where were you?"

I rolled my eyes.

"In Gabriel's room. Duh," they dragged me from the room. How could they not notice that I-

"What were you doing in there?"

I sighed. I replayed the whole situation for them, including me changing rooms. They weren't too happy about that, but aside from that they were impressed.

"You've already got a guy on your side? You got skill," Dani appraised.

Lelia was still unsure. "Will he turn on your back though? I mean, I'm not surprised you two are together. I always sensed it would only be a matter of time, but do you think he'll keep his word?"

"Yes. He's going to help us. And I'm hoping that he'll run away with me once we destroy the crystal," I said.

"I like him bad, don'tchya?" Dani teased. I nodded.

"Well let's just hope this all turns out alright," Lelia said.
