(LDN: *thinks* Um no. Gabriel: ;_; LDN: Geez ok you're a prince. Gabriel: Yeah!!! * A crown appears on his head too* Sheesh! LOL!! I'm glad you pointed out the little humor at the end because I loved writing that part. LOL!! ) O_o you knew about Flame? I can't hide things from ya, can I? Well I won't say no more, Flame, well it's a secret about her. Ha! I almost said it, but I caught myself. LOL!! Yeah, the fights are coming up, lots of them. I hate writing action though! -_-
Ms. Cornell: *hands ya a tissue* don't cry Ms. Cornell, it's not that sad is it? Ha another one that guessed about Flame. No my evil cliffhangers must stay secret. ^_~ LOL!! I was so happy that you liked that part Ms. Cornell, because I would bust up when I looked at that part every time. I loved those lines too. Thanks for saying I can mix humor with drama, though at first I wasn't sure if I should do it, because it didn't seem appropriate with Gabriel being kidnapped, but I thought what the hell and I left it in. So glad I did too. Keep on reading MS. Cornell because more is coming. ^_^
Bluemizu: LOL!! Don't worry Bluemizu, as soon as I heard I had reviews I woke up. I love getting reviews, brightens up my day! ^_^ Ohhh there are more plot twists coming, big ones I say, big ones. There is one here too! *mysterious smile* keep reading to find out what it is. LOL!!! ^_^
Chapter 10- Gabriel's Mysterious Plight Revealed
While Dante and Trish fought the zombies outside…
Gabriel stood by the bars of his cell with his head against the cool steel of the bars. He was deep in thought. He had to find a way to get out of here before his father and Trish arrived. He didn't want to put them in any danger. He heard footfalls coming toward the room and he glanced up from the bars. He saw Flame and Damon, now dressed in a red hooded cloak enter the room. Oh what now? He thought in annoyance looking at them as they approached the cell.
"Look at you two. Nice matching outfits. What a lovely couple you two make." Gabriel said sarcastically. Then he noticed a syringe in Flame's hand. "What's that for?" He asked her.
"It's a present for you." Damon told him coolly.
"You're not sticking me with that!" Gabriel said defiantly.
"Who said you had a choice in the matter?" Damon asked in his cool tone.
Gabriel gasped as he felt the pain return, but this time it was stronger. He clenched his teeth as he felt the pain radiate through him again and he staggered back from the bars. These damn pain attacks always pick the right moments to appear. He thought bitterly to himself. He felt the pain head to his back and linger there.
"Another attack, huh?" Damon said unsympathetically. "Do it now, Flame. While he can't fight you!" Damon ordered her.
Flame moved toward the cell door. She placed the key in the lock and opened it. She stepped through and gave the syringe a gentle push at the bottom and a small jet of clear liquid shot out of the tip.
"Get that away from me!" Gabriel yelled at her. Then he did something he'd never done in his whole life, he swung at her. He'd never hit a woman in his life and he still hadn't.
Flame easily deflected his blow and grabbed on to his wrist. Using his momentum, she flung him against her and held him.
Gabriel struggled against her. He couldn't break away from her though. When had she gotten so strong or more importantly when had he gotten so weak?
"Sorry." She whispered as she sunk the needle into his neck. She injected all the clear liquid into him.
Gabriel went limp in her arms and Flame laid him down on the steel bed of the cell. Gabriel's eyes were still open and those drug clouded light blue eyes of his stared accusingly into her hazel ones.
"Sorry." She whispered again before she turned around and walked out of the cell. Now that they had completed their task, Flame and Damon walked out of the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Dante and Trish stepped through the door of the warehouse and came upon a small empty room. Off to the side of the room there was a hallway and the end of the hallway was illuminated. They glanced around the room as they walked toward the hallway, it was empty.
"Come on, let's go." Dante told Trish at the entrance of the hallway. They proceeded down the hallway and came out in a large room with another hallway on the opposite side of it.
"Should we continue?" Dante pondered aloud as he looked at the other hallway entrance.
"Dante!" Trish exclaimed suddenly.
"What?" Dante asked as he turned to look at her. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a cell with someone inside it.
They approached the cell to see an awake, yet groggy Gabriel looking back at them from his steel bed.
"Dad? Tri?" He mumbled. "Is this a dream?"
"It's not a dream, Gabe! We're really here!" Trish told him reassuringly.
"You're here! It's not a dream." Gabriel whispered relieved to himself.
Dante tried the lock on the cell and it didn't budge. He pulled out Ivory and shot the lock, successfully opening it.
"Get him out, Trish. I'll cover you." Dante said in a low voice, it almost sounded like a growl.
Trish entered the cell and went to Gabriel who was still mumbling about it not being a dream.
"I think they drugged him." Trish told Dante.
"I know they did." Dante replied angrily.
Trish lifted Gabriel off the steel bed and supported his weight against her. With him securely against her she walked out of the cell. "Let's get out of here." Trish told him.
Dante turned to look at them. He placed his hand on the side of his son's head. He ran his hand over his son's black and silver strands of hair. His ice blue eyes looked into his son's clouded light blue ones. Anger surged through the silver haired demon hunter. "Take him home." He told Trish. "I'm not leaving without a little payback."
"Glad to hear it." A voice said from across the room. The two demon hunters turned toward the voice and they saw Flame with the red hooded figure.
"Dante Sparda, we finally meet." The figure said joyfully.
"Indeed we do." Dante replied curtly with an icy stare.
"My name is Damon." The red hooded figure said.
"I don't really care what your name is." Dante replied annoyed. "Just know that I'm going to kick your ass."
"Is that so?" Damon replied.
"You better believe it." Dante said with a smirk.
With all the attention in the room focused on Dante and Damon no one but Trish noticed when Gabriel convulsed violently. She turned to check on him and she gasped. Like magic she saw two objects protrude out of his back. The objects extended and they were a few inches taller then Gabriel. They were rounded at the top and layered getting narrower at the bottom. They were shiny black and feathered like a crow's wings. They were also very soft.
"What is it?" Gabriel mumbled at Trish's surprised expression. He was pretty out of it, trying to fight the drugs and all. Luckily he had been drugged or else the birth of his wings would have been very painful.
"Gabe, you have shiny black wings protruding from your back." Trish told him astonished.
"How nice." Gabriel said wryly as a small smile appeared on his face. Then finally the drugs took over his system and he passed out.
LDN: See I told ya something else would be revealed. Now we know why Gabriel was getting those pain attacks. My poor baby! He finally got his wings!!^_^ Oh and also I loved that part where Dante touched Gabriel's head. It was subtle, but powerful. Well that's what I think, anyway. ^_^ Well I hope you guys liked the chapter, please leave a review. Till next time, see ya!! ^_^
