The man didn't turn. 'In a minuet love.' He just said, and Lyra could almost imagine the hatred etched into his face as he glared at the demon. 'What the hell do you want?' he growled. The demon laughed and looked Lyra straight in the eye, making her shiver. The man turned and looked at her, then with a dangerous expression, turned back. 'Why? Why do you want her?' the demon laughed again, and then spoke. 'How can daddy be so ignorant? Tut tut...' Lyra half expected the man- Gabriel-? To hit him or something, but to her utter surprise, he laughed. 'Sarah? Could you take Lyra out the room?' Lyra didn't budge. 'No.' she said. The man turned with a grin on his face. 'Trust me; you wont like what you see when I've finished with him.' Lyra growled and followed her mother into the hallway. They were barely out of the room when the screaming started, but after a moment, it stopped and they heard footsteps coming towards them. 'You can come out now.' The man said. Lyra and her mom stepped back in to see the demon lying on the floor, completely immobile. 'Did you-? Kill him?' Lyra asked, staring at the body. The man looked down. 'Well, the human was already dead. I just sent the demon inside back to hell-'he grinned. 'With a few extra things.' Lyra frowned. 'Are you-?' he grinned. 'The one and only.' Lyra groaned. 'I was hoping it would be someone better looking.' Gabriel gaped. 'That's one of the rudest things anyone's ever said to me!' Lyra shrugged. 'So?' he raised an eyebrow. 'You're just kidding right?' Lyra nodded. 'Yeah.' Then hugged him. 'Jeez, you could be freak and I wouldn't care.' Lyra told him. Gabe laughed. 'Well that's comforting (!)' she let him go and frowned at the body again. 'Why do I have demons after me anyway?' Gabriel frowned. 'I really don't know.' Lyra frowned. 'Oh. I thought you would, seeing as you're a thing.' Gabe raised an eyebrow. 'A "Thing?" charming.' But Lyra's mom shook her head. 'Be serious Gabe- do you know why?' Again, he replied. 'I really don't know.'
But he did know; there was something niggling him at the back of his mind, reminding him of his past as an angel.
But it couldn't be true-? Could it?
