Eli: I'll pause as Sierra and Shinara scold me for not updating sooner.
*pause* Okay, so sorry! Here's more. Enjoy!
Jesse sat up on the table. She felt pain in her wrists, her neck, and her head. She adjusted her eyes to the lights as she rubbed the wrist the witchblade had tried to attach itself to. She looked at Sara and Gabriel.
"Would someone please tell me what the bloody hell is going on here? I was just eating some breakfast and now I am waking up in this sodding hell hole!" She yelled out, her voice raspy.
Gabriel walked over to her and sat down. "Calm down, Jesse."
"Calm down? That man was holding a dagger to my throat! Then that other man, the one Elaine liked whose standing behind me put a dagger into his fucking heart! Gabriel Bowman, do not tell me to calm down!" She started crying out of despair and Gabriel held her till she calmed down.
"Shhh." He told her. As he calmed her down, Sara came over and checked out Irons body for herself. Ian was leaning against the wall with his eyes shut. She went over to him.
"Why did you.....?"
"She is of my blood. It would have been even more wrong to let her die or to tear her away from everything. A wielder's life is of honor, but I will die before I see her life taken over by it."
Sara nodded and didn't ask anymore questions. She looked down at the dead body. 'This is gonna take a lifetime of paperwork.' Then she looked back at Ian. 'He killed him. He's lucky he can claim justifiable homicide, and even that will be hard. Christ, why did it come to this?'
Gabriel pulled away from Jesse. "This is gong to be a bit hard to believe, but you have to trust me." Jesse nodded. "Irons, the dead man behind you, has admitted that he slept with your mom and that you are his daughter."
"What?!" Jesse exclaimed, eyes wide.
"Yeah, he says you are his daughter. He was insane. He was trying to kill you because he believed that he could use your body as his own."
Jesse looked down. "I always hoped that that bastard back in England wasn't my father, but now I am not so sure." She murmured.
"There is something else." Gabriel added.
"What?" She asked concerned. She wasn't sure she wanted much more of this.
"Well, I'm not sure I should be the one saying it." Gabriel looked behind her at Ian. Ian nodded at him and Gabe went on. "Did Elaine ever tell you what she found on her, um, assignment?"
"Yeah, you know what she's like when she has a crush."
"What did she tell you, exactly?"
"Uh, age, jobs done, rubbish like that."
"Origin wise?"
"That he was....... Ohhhhhhh." Elaine remarked. She slowly turned around and looked at Ian. They stared at each other for a few second before they both looked down again. Elaine turned back forward to Gabriel.
"Anymore shocking family secrets you want to tell me?" She asked. He shook his head. She sighed out of relief. Gabriel hugged her again.
Without realizing it, Gabriel reached out behind Jesse and grabbed the dagger Irons had dropped. Her arm began to shake, a little at first, and then more violently. Jesse let go of him as he began to quake.
"Gabe? Gabe? Gabriel? Gabriel!" She started shouting. He finally stopped shaking and started calming down. His eyes opened and he seemed to be okay.
Except that his eyes were now ice blue.
-Meanwhile-
"Get a fucking move on, wanker!" Elaine shrieked at the driver in front of her. Elaine pulled onto the side of the road, sped up, and moved back onto the freeway. The mansion was only a minute or two away. She could see it clearly. Leo grabbed the side of the car, trying not to fly out the window.
"Elaine, tell me again why I let you drive?" He asked as the force of the car pushed him to the left. Elaine grinned wickedly as she stopped the car in the middle of the road.
She moved closer to him and kissed him. When he opened his mouth out of shock, she stuck her tongue in, deepening the kiss.
Then, she backed off and started the car up again. She smirked at him. He smiled back.
"Now I remember."
