Author's Note: This will be my last update until April 21st. I am going to Florida.
Ch. 6 Waiting in the Dark
Over the next week, I got familiar with my new surroundings. Twice that week I opened the box. I then picked up the bracelet that Daniel once gave me. It was inscribed with the words remember, love, faith. Daniel had a thing for romantic gestures. The bracelet made me remember the day he came to me for help, and everything that occurred after that. I open the folder I had on him and began to read it for the 5 time since I wrote it.
Name: Daniel Haze
Ability: Cellular Manipulation
DOB: April 7 1967
DOD: November 22 1990
Cause of Death: Murder
When I made the folder, all those years ago, I couldn't bare to write anymore but that. I could talk about his rare ability but I couldn't take about his death. It still shocked me that after 30 years it still hurt me the same way it did the day he died. Daniel's case made me feel like a failure. I put the folder and the box under her bed. I will try not to dwell on it again.
This had possible been the longest week of her. Gabrielle had one visitor this whole week. Last time Peter was here we had an uncomfortable conversation about him him
"Mom's been asking about you." Peter said
"How did she find out I was her?" I asked
"Well she does have the ability to see the future." Peter began to explain
"Pete, I love you mom I just don't agree with what she does." I said
"Then why avoid her?" Peter asked
"Cause I know that she will ask me about Arthur." I explained.
"So, you don't know anything. Why can't you tell her that?" Peter said
"Your mom is sick; she doesn't need any more stress." I said.
Peter explained to me that Angela immune system seemed to be breaking down. She had high blood pressure, fatigue, and a lot of flu-like system. He doctors wanted to test her for a number of diseases but she refused to see a doctor. Other then Peter that I had no other visitor at least until Saturday.
I took a walk to Central Park on Saturday. I use to love to walk with Nathan and Peter here. We always found something to do after school. I have to admit that I didn't feel good about the way I came to live with the Petrelli's, but I took the mission to do one thing, to kill Arthur. The mission was to steal but I had my own agenda. It was the first time I went off the path. Jade would have been proud.
I couldn't keep Jade from my mind, and I didn't know why. I know that one day she would drop in on me, but I wasn't looking forward to that day. It was better for me and my sister to be split up. A lot less people died that way. I hadn't seen my sister in years, but I always knew she was waiting in the darkness. All this week I felt that someone was following me. I always knew when I was being followed. It was almost night fall before I got back to my apartment.
The first thing I noticed was that my door was open. Second a very familiar face greeted me as I walked in the room. I then knew who had been following me.
"Missed me?" Sylar, aka Gabriel Gray, said
"What are you doing here, how did you get into my apartment?" I shot at him.
"Well you didn't lock the door. First time living on your own?" Sylar asked.
"Why are you here Gabriel?" I said embarrassed.
"Well I think it goes without saying, but you fascinate me." He said truthfully
"Why?" I said, not knowing me where this conversation was going.
"Cause I think you can help me with getting control of my ability." Sylar explained.
"Why do you think that?" I questioned him.
"Because you were dreaming about me, and I been trying to keep my abilities under control, then you come here to "save" me" Sylar said it like it was obviously.
"I didn't come here to help you with the abilities." I said, wanting him to get out of my apartment.
"That maybe but I know that you know a lot about abilities, you can help me with the hunger' Sylar said.
"What is the hunger" I said. I did not know what he meant by the hunger.
"I always want more abilities" He explained.
"Fine, I'll help you" I said defeated.
"Great! You know this was our first date." He said with a smirk.
"This was not a date!" I said sternly. He clearly doesn't know me to well yet.
"Fine, but one day it will be" He said confidently. I begin to dislike him by ever passing moment.
After Sylar left, I locked the door. I then heated some of the pizza from last night, and I turned on my computer. I looked up the name Gabriel Gray. There was nothing on there but him Murdering his mom and disappearing. That is what intrigued me the most. Why would a son kill his own mother? Thinking of Jade I got my answer. I went back to the search engine and begin looking at pet stores. I always wanted a cat but never had a chance to own one. In this building I was able to finally get one. Lost in my thoughts, my cell phone began to ring. I didn't recognize the number.
"Hello" I said politely
"Hello Gabby it's me Angela" Angela said weakly.
"Hi" I said not really knowing what to say.
"I was wondering if you might stop by to see me tomorrow." Angela said
"Why? So you could yell at me for being an unthankful brat." With the last conversation I had with her still stuck in my mind.
"No, It's about Jade." Angela said. I never mentioned my sister to her, how did she know that.
"Just come over tomorrow! I think we have a few things to talk about." She said. She clearly used up all here energy for one day.
She hung up. All night I dwelled on what the morning would bring. I begin to think that maybe it wasn't a good idea to come to New York.
