Gabriel
We continued our journey towards Janet's house, I felt a heavy weight upon me, knowing I had to reveal the truth to my friends. With a heavy heart, I recounted the chilling encounter with my older brother Lucifer, explaining how he had threatened Janet and her family if I didn't comply with his demands.
Their confusion was palpable, and I could see the disbelief written across their faces as I spoke of Lucifer as my brother. But I knew I had to show them the truth, no matter how unsettling it might be.
"Stop the car," I finally instructed, my voice steady despite the turmoil raging within me. As the car came to a halt near the edge of the woods, I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for what was to come. Night had fallen, shrouding the forest in darkness, which was fortunate for what I was about to reveal.
Leading them deeper into the woods, I could sense their fear mounting with each step we took. It amused me in a bittersweet way, knowing that their fear was a natural response to the unknown, but also knowing that it was exactly what Lucifer wanted. But we were not like him, I reminded myself, and it was time to show them that.
Stopping abruptly, I turned to face them, my heart pounding in my chest as I prepared to reveal my true nature. With a flick of my wrist, I unfurled my wings, their immense size stretching outwards and casting a shadow over them.
Simon's reaction was immediate, his eyes rolling back as he fainted from the shock of seeing my wings. Nicholas stood frozen in place, his jaw slack as he stared at me in awe and disbelief. And Robyn... Robyn bowed before
me, a gesture of respect and reverence that touched me deeply.In that moment, as I stood before them with my wings spread wide, I knew that my secret was out, and there was no turning back. But despite their fear and disbelief, I hoped they would come to see that I was not the monster Lucifer wanted them to believe I was. I was Gabriel, their friend, and I would do whatever it took to protect them from the darkness that threatened to consume us all.
