Gabriel
I stared in disbelief. It all made sense now...
"Yeah, hard to believe?" Zachariah laughed, taking me out of my thoughts.
"Alright, so? She's an angel, big deal," I snorted.
"Well, she is graceless. She isn't like the other angel, Anna I believe, who could hear the angels," Zachariah said, pacing in front of me.
"Alright, maybe that's something she ignored or faded away? Now this gives me more the reason to keep her out of your hands!" I growled.
"You can't keep her safe forever, you just got lucky last time," He warned, then disappeared. I stepped back, running my hands through my hair. Oh, wow. She is an angel? I guess that makes sense, considering all the things she is immune to and can see. She probably fell and lost her memory over time... or something. I don't know.
I sighed and my surroundings shimmered away and the Best Western hotel room took its place. The room was dark, but I could see Israfel's outline curled up in the bed. I quietly walked over to her and watched her sleep for a moment before pulling the blanket up around her shoulders.
I moved over to the couch and sat down, unfurling my wings and stretching them out.
"Gabriel?" A sleepy voice whispered behind me.
"Oh! Israfel?" I said, turning around to see her leaning over the couch.
"Yeah," She murmured, moving over to sit down as I curled my wings back in.
"Did I wake you up?" I asked.
"Yes. You are very loud," She giggled, sitting down and leaning against me.
"My bad," I chuckled, putting my arm around her shoulder.
"You went to see the angels?" She asked.
"Just Zachariah... how did you know?"
"I don't know... just you smell like him."
"I... smell like him? He has a smell?"
"Well, I smelled the same thing in the car with Chloe, but I didn't notice it. Now I smell it again and I think its Zachariah."
"Wow. Maybe he wasn't wrong."
"Wrong about what?"
I sighed and looked down at the blue curious eyes watching me.
"I know what you are," I whispered.
"What?" She asked. She was obviously confused.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I chuckled.
"Tell me," She insisted.
"Fine. You're an angel," I said, staring into her blue eyes.
"You're right. I don't believe you," She said, seeming lost in thought.
"I told you!" I chuckled.
"Whatever..." She trailed off and I noticed she fell asleep. Must have been really tired. I rested my head against hers and pulled her closer to me. She was beautiful. I smiled to myself, enjoying the moment. Even if she was an angel, I felt responsible for her... even when she doesn't want to be around me.
