Chapter Three
Gabriel had his assistant wait with us in his room while he was out and about somewhere on the island…the assistant however was Jackal who kept glancing my way and when I tried to look at him; he'd turn his eyes away. I shook my head as I leaned up against Gabriel's white couch; Blaire and Nate were sitting on the couch, occasionally sparing a glance or so my way. Okay this was starting to get annoying. I decided to confront them all.
"Why do yall keep staring at me?" I asked aloud.
No one decided to answer; no one even had the chance because Gabriel at that time walked in with a long black trench coat on with pants, no shirt, and boots. I couldn't help but stare…he had abs. I've always had a thing for abs…and shoot if Gabriel has them; could that possibly mean Jackal or any other vampire might have them as well? I shoved those thoughts away as Gabriel's eyes scanned the room and focused intently on me.
"The descendant finally shows her truer self." He says with a bright grin as he looks me over.
"Well…I'm not even sure how this happened though." I say quietly, almost to myself.
"All that matters is that it did. Now please enlighten me dear Nate…are these all the gifts she possesses or does she possess more?" He asks as he focuses on Nate.
Nate visibly shivers beneath Gabriel's look; I wonder why all the witch's were scared of him…he truly didn't seem that frightening in my eyes.
"I-I don't know…I'll have t-to check again…." Nate responded as he quickly looked back at Blaire for help.
She didn't offer any. His gaze shifted back to Gabriel.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Check again!" Gabriel shouts with an excited expression on his face as he looked at me.
Something glimmered in his eyes as he looked at me. I bet if I was a mind reader, his thoughts would be speeding by at light speed; all the ideas to use me to gain extra power would be unleashed, except he wasn't counting on me saying no after he offered me complete freedom.
Whoa….how the hell did I know that? There's only so much a person can tell by looking at ones expression and yet…here I've spelt out a whole sentence from his mind…perhaps…telepathy is one of my gifts?
Nate scrambled down and ordered me to sit down, I did so and he encased his hands around mine and closed his eyes.
"Astral projection, Illusion, telekinesis, empathy, conjuring, deflection, premonition, telepathy, thought projection, voice manipulation, Aura telling….wait…that's my gift! Aura telling, how did you get that?" Nate pauses his Analysis to ask.
"I-I don't know….?" I say slowly with a frown.
How the hell did I get that? How the hell did I get any of these gifts?
Nate's eyes went wide as he resumed his analysis based on Gabriel's command.
"…calling, and…power copy." Nate says as he lets go of my hands and stares at me like I had just slapped him.
"What?" I ask with a frown.
"You stole my power!" Nate says as he crosses his arms over his chest.
"I didn't mean to!" I replied as I looked to Gabriel for help but he was already off of the subject of power stealing and onto the situation at hand.
What to do about me.
"Bravo…Nate please describe what each of these gifts are." Gabriel commands.
He said please but only to be kind, he would use force if he had to apparently.
"…astral projection is being two places at once, illusion is the ability to warp someone's mind; take them somewhere they aren't, telekinesis is where you can move objections around, empathy means you're tuned to everyone else's feelings, conjuring is basically taking nothing and making it something, deflection…you can deflect powers thrown at you, throw them back with you're other powers….premonition is the ability to see the past and future, telepathy is mind reading, thought projection is to think of something and there it is, voice manipulation basically describes itself, take someone's voice and use it as your own, Aura…telling…is where you can see the aura's, moods, and gifts of others, calling is the ability to call an object to you, and power copying is definitely how you got most of these gifts." Nate says with a roll of his eyes.
"Am I done here now?" He asks as he looks to Gabriel.
Gabriel thinks for a total of two seconds and nods, Nate bows, turns, and leaves. His gaze then fixes on me with a slight glimmer in his eyes and a smile playing on his lips.
"We'll be getting you into the school immediately." Gabriel says.
"She's already registered….but I was giving her time to get used to everything…." Blaire says hesitantly.
"Well she's ready now, she starts in two days." Gabriel says with authority ringing in his voice that basically ends the discussion.
"Okay..." Blaire says slowly.
"You're dismissed Miss Witchwood." Gabriel says, not even taking a sparring glance at her as she high-tailed it out of the room.
Gabriel focused on me but said nothing as he studied me. I could feel Jackal's eyes resting on me as well, they were both contemplating something...at that moment I actually wished I knew how telepathy worked but it didn't give me a heads up as Gabriel took two long steps and stood merely inches from me, his eyes bored into mine. Without even looking to Jackal, Gabriel's voice rung in the air.
"Leave us."
"I will not." Jackal replied as he took a step forward.
Gabriel's head snapped to Jackal's direction and he glared at Jackal.
"You disobey orders?" Gabriel says with a twisted smile on his lips, with the look playing in his eyes, I wouldn't be surprised if Gabriel jumped Jackal then and there.
"She belongs to me. She is my...consort." Jackal replies.
Gabriel's eyes traveled back to me to see if I agreed with him. I nodded my head quickly. That same smile played on Gabriel's lips.
"Hmm...well. Your both dismissed. Tomorrow you start training." Gabriel said as he left the room after one last glance at me.
Jackal and I left and went back to my house rather quickly. When we were inside my room and the door was locked, our eyes stared into each other.
"Why did he want to be alone with me?" I asked with a frown on my face.
"He wanted to taste your blood." Jackal replied as he searched my eyes.
"Why though? Why is it so special that I'm the descendant of my ancestor?" I ask, not really expecting an answer.
"Because you're beautiful, you're powerful, and Gabriel wants to know how he can use you as for the others, they will want to know how to destroy you." Jackal says as he runs his fingers through his blonde hair.
I walk over to my bed and lay down and stare up at the ceiling in contemplation; wondering what I'm going to do. Jackal lays down beside me.
"What are you thinking?" He asks while laying on his side, staring down at me.
"I'm wondering how I'm going to get out of this...how I'm going to get away from all the people who are wanting to use and or hurt me." I answer.
Jackal remains quiet.
"I really just want to go home. Go back to my old life before I was brought here..." I say.
"I could get you back there...we could go away together. I'd protect you and help you train so no one could hurt you, just ask and I will." Jackal says slowly.
I turn and lay on my side and look into his eyes. No matter how dark they were, I could see he meant what he had said. No matter what I denied...I know I've always had a thing for Jackal, but when I had been a slave it seemed wrong for liking him...but now that I'm a witch...it seems right. A smile plays on my lips as I lean in and press them to his. The kiss is sweet and intense as he teases me with playful bites along my throat. He stops right there, not taking this little moment any further which is kind of disappointing but I know its for the best.
"Take me away from here Jackal." I say as I stare into his eyes.
Review, next chapter will be longer trust me = P ...and it'll be a lot more exciting cause their gonna have to find a way off of the island.
