Gabbies P.O.V


I quickly ran back into the apartment and started grabbing a few things from my room. A few clothes, my hair brush, tooth brush, a small photo and a sketch pad with a few pencils. I also threw in some juice bottles and snacks for the others as well. After tossing said items into my biggest overnight bag, I changed into a simple light blue sweatshirt and pair black jeans with gray sneakers. I also slipped on my favorite pink dragon shaped necklace before tying up my hair in a ponytail. Once I was ready, I left a small note for Galo despite what Lio said before leaving. I felt I had to at least say goodbye. I then headed back outside into the alley where Lio's was waiting for me.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

"Yeah, so are we leaving on foot?"

Lio shook his head before using his flames to materialize a motorcycle. My eyes went wide in surprise as Lio hopped on and turned back to me hold his hand out. As I reached out for him, I suddenly hear a truck roaring up the street with sirens blaring. In the distance, I could see a gigantic blue van heading straight towards us. I gasped in fear when I realized who they were.

"It's freeze force, shit!"

"Hurry and get on!"

I did as Lio asked and jumped on the back while wrapping my arms tight around his waist, ignoring my embracement along with the deep blush growing on my face. Lio then revved up the engine before speeding off. Lio speeded down the highway like it was nothing, leaving the city in his dust. Behind us we could hear the leader valcon, who is a total piece of shit btw, call out to us as he picked up speed to get right next to us in the next lane.

"You're done running Lio Fotia! Normally I would take you in right now, but I'm on a schedule. So I'll make you a deal. Hand over the girl now and we'll leave you and the other burnish alone. Or we can hunt all of you down later! If I were you, I'd pull over!"

Valcon then aimed his freeze ray at Lio, impatient for an answer. To which Lio simply replied.

"I didn't come all this way to get Gabriella just to hand her over to scum like you. She's not a tool for you, she's the hope of the burnish! Besides that, I never betray my friends no matter what the reason. So you can go ahead and shove that deal straight up you're ass!"

Lio then set flames to the vans tires, leaving freeze force to skid off into a random building. Allowing Lio and I took off into the night, leaving the city of prometholis behind us. A few hours later and we continued riding into desert. I felt myself nodding off again as I tried to shake myself awake again.

"Are you tired? Don't worry, we're almost at the settlement. You can rest there."

"Ok. Lio? Thank you for what you said before. About not betraying your friends. For a spilt second I thought of turning myself over, at least you and the other burnish wouldn't suff-"

"There's no way they would leave us alone after that. Giving yourself up wouldn't end things and Kray and the freeze force fight dirty. They'd never keep a promise like that. Don't ever consider that as an option again." Lio explained while half scolding me at the same time.

Feeling guilty, I placed my head against his right shoulder while tightening my grip on his waist as I answered.

"Ok, I won't."

"Good, and you're welcome. You don't have to feel awkward around me Gabby, I trust you."

I smiled as I nodded. Returning the sentiment and letting Lio know that I trusted him too. We soon reached the settlement which was an abandoned building that looked like it was in mid construction. Lio parked and took me up to the main floor. Lio's two friends were there to greet us. There were so many burnish around, and a good amount of them were just kids. Lio pulled me out of my thoughts as he introduced me.

"These are my friends Gabriella, Guria and Mace."

"So you're the idiots lil sister. Welcome!" Guria said with a wide grin.

"Thanks, sorry about crashing with you guys unexpected."

"Non sense! You're a burnish like us so it's only fair you join us." Mace agreed.

"Gabriella, are you tried? You can rest in my room while we get one ready for you." Lio suggested.

As soon as I heard that, the overwhelming exhaustion from staying up all night hit me like a freight train. I felt myself sway a little as I started to follow Lio down the hallway. He made sure to stay close by to catch me in case I fell over. After a short walk, the mad burnish leader opened the door to a room that was small but at least had a decent size bed. I didn't stay awake for long after putting my bag down on the floor and face planting myself onto the mattress. I could hear Lio snicker softly before everything faded around me as I drifted off. Unaware of Lio bidding me a good sleep as he closed the door quietly.

"Sleep well, Gabby."


SOTP: Short but sweet! hope you guys enjoyed! Next time we get a little more romance, Gabby getting captured, and Lio becoming very pissed off...hope you all look forward to that!
