In Your Eyes I get a Glimpse of Heaven
Chapter 8: You Trust him, Don't You?
"Tired?" Loki asked as she swayed slightly into him. He smirked slightly as she nodded, making a tired noise. "We're almost there. Then you can sleep."
"If I can make it there." she said chuckling slightly.
"Want me to carry you?"
She smiled up at him, "No, I'll be fine. Thanks for the offer though."
He shook his head, "It's the least I could do."
She shook her head, "You don't owe me anything for this."
He looked confused.
"Look, I know this will sound weird, but I really don't mind helping you. I mean hey, I get a trip to London."
He laughed as they entered the airport. They were basically silent as they bought tickets. Gabi pulled her passport out of her bag and found another one she had never seen. She gave them both to the man and they received tickets and their passports. She looked even more confused as they walked away, though Loki didn't.
"Did you really think She wasn't going to help you out a little?"
Gabi smiled as they went through security then sat down waiting for their fight.
"So how exactly is Bartleby going to get out?"
"I'm not really sure." he said slowly.
"It's not gonna be easy." Azreal said appearing beside them.
She jumped, as did Loki.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Gabi said before Loki could open his mouth.
Loki paused, "What she said."
Azreal lounged slightly, "Well if you don't want my help..."
"Help? The last time you tried to help, I died."
Azreal glared at him, "Fine then." He stood like he was going to leave.
"Wait." Gabi said grabbing his arm, "How can you help us?"
"Bartleby isn't going to get out without help."
"You did."
"I was sent out there's a difference. I can help him get out, and take him to Chillingham. On one condition."
"What's that?"
"You." He said looking at Gabi, "Will return, alive and in one peice."
She cocked an eyebrow, "Why do you care?"
"I have to kill you." he said, "Remember?"
She rolled her eyes, "Yeah, sure. If you'll help."
He nodded, smiling slightly and turned on his heel and walked away. Gabrielle watched as he walked into the crowed, and just like the all the other times, he disappeared.
"You do understand you just enrolled the help of a demon right?"
She nodded slowly.
"You don't trust him, do you?"
"He was sent on a redemption mission to kill me. I trust him enough to do what it takes to finish that mission."
"Why hasn't he done it yet?"
"He said he's waiting for the right moment, he wants to be dramatic apparently."
Loki cocked an eyebrow at her, "And you believe it?"
"Ha." she said as she tried to get comfortable, with little luck. "I think it's bullshit, I just can't come up with a better reason. So anyways," she said as she settled down against his shoulder and he rested his arm on the back of the chair to give her more room, "Where'd you get enough money to buy two tickets to London?"
"After thousands of years here, it starts to add up."
"So, what? You and Bartleby have a joined bank account somewhere?"
"Several actually."
She shook her head, "How?"
"You get bored sitting around every once in a while, so one, or both, of us would go get a job to occupy time."
"What's your favorite one?"
He shrugged, "You can ask Bartleby, he's the ones with jobs worth being a favorite."
"Well since you didn't like working, what did you like to do?"
"I liked sitting at home on Saturday morning, expecially during the 60s, just hanging out."
She nodded and after a few moments of silence she looked up from where her head was resting on the crook of his elbow and watched him.
He was staring out over the people, not really seeing them. He looked down at her and smirked, his eyes sparkling with a naiiveness that never seemed to leave. She smiled back up at him, but it fell back into her confused look.
"What?" he asked, still smiling.
"Just something Azreal said."
"What'd he say?"
"That you had been watching me?"
"Well yeah, a lot of us have. Angels and humans."
"Why?"
"Gabi, you're kinda important."
She rolled her eyes and he laughed slightly in response, "I've watched you since you were born, I've had nothing better to do and you, my young friend, are one of the most interesting people I've ever watched."
"Bartleby rubbed off on you." She said in a sing song voice.
"Yeah Yeah, So I'm not the big bad Angel of Death I used to be."
She laughed and yawned.
"I'll wake you up when we need to get on the plane."
She nodded and snuggled into him again, closing her eyes.
"Gabi! What the hell are you doing here, What the hell is he doing here?"
Gabi rolled her eyes, "I don't think I'm gonna get to sleep anytime soon."
Sorry about that. I know it's a cliff hanger but there really wasn't a better place to stop it.
