  They were supposed to meet up after school, but Silas didn't show up, and that made Liam and Yazmine worry. "Where is he!?" The girl complained, worry in her deep blue eyes. Liam bit his lip. "I don't know, but he has to be coming, right?"

  Yazmine sighed. "I don't know Liam. This is just too strange." Samuel tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, you know where Silas and Edward went?" He asked. Liam blinked in surprise. "Edward's missing too?" Samuel nodded. Liam sighed, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration mixed with concern and worry. "No, we don't know where Silas and Edward went." He answered.

  "Does Raymond know?" Yazmine asked. Samuel sighed and shook his head. "We split up to cover more ground." He explained. "Can we do anything to help?" Liam wondered. "Just ask around I guess." Samuel told them.

  "Alright. Let us know if you find anything." Liam told him. Samuel nodded and went back inside. "I'll search the backyard, you search the frontyard." Yazmine explained. Liam nodded a little and split from Yazmine looking around the yard and asking students if they knew where Silas and Edward had gone.

  Then he remembered the strange looks Edward and Gabriel always gave each other. Does Gabriel have something to do with this? Liam started looking around for Gabriel, and sure enough, he found him leaning against the wall on his phone, casually ignoring the world in such a way that Liam had a hard time breathing for a second.

  "Gabriel?" The man looked up and smiled, somthing that made Liam's heart race. "Yes, darling?" Liam gulped, "do you know anything about Silas and Edward's disappearance?"

  Gabriel almost looked offended at the question. "Why would I know anything? I hardly know them." Liam bit his lip, knowing that this would be harder than he had originally thought. "You at least knew Edward before he came to the school, because he's always giving you weird looks and glares." He tried to explain.

  Gabriel snorted. "It's because we didn't like each other back in elementary school. Yeah, I knew him, but he's obviously changed. He wasn't this snarly or talkative when I knew him, so whatever I knew about him is no longer accurate."

  "But do you know anything about their disappearance? A rumor or something?" Liam was getting desperate now. When Gabriel looked at him, his eyes appeared as if they were watching prey, and Liam felt like the prey for a second until Gabriel pushed him behind him, arm outstretched, hand clutching the wrist of somebody holding a gun.

  "Why don't we head to my house? We can talk there without being interrupted by psycho's like this guy." Liam thought for a moment, trying to process how Gabriel had saved his life, while he hadn't even known the guy was there.

  "You can head in the direction of your house for a moment; I don't want you see what's next." Gabriel instructed. When Liam tried to protest, the man's eyes began to glow and Liam instantly succumbed to the suggestion, walking in the direction of his house and completely ignoring the world as Gabriel's blissful hypnosis drowned out the sound of the man screaming for his life.

  When he snapped out of it a few minutes later, he found himself in an unfamiliar neighborhood. "Where are we?" He asked. "My neighborhood." Gabriel explained.

  Liam didn't say anything else until he blinked and found himself inside somebody's bedroom. "Now where are we?" "My bedroom." Gabriel answered, turning to face the bed that he had laid Liam across.

  "Alright. What do you know?" Liam demanded. Gabriel was quiet for a moment before a smirk crossed his lips. "I know the reason behind their disappearance." He responded.

  "Well, what is it?!" Liam was getting impaitent now, and Gabriel could tell. "Edward took Silas somewhere that I can't say." He explained. "It is nothing you need to worry about, I assure you. They will return someday."

  Liam just sat there, astonished, for a minute. "So you basically know everything about what happened. How?" Gabriel's smirk changed to an innocent smile with a shrug. "A little bit of hypnosis doesn't hurt anyone, does it?"

  Liam just blinked in surprise, then groaned. "I don't understand anything anymore." He mumbled. Gabriel chuckled. "This is just beyond your expertise Liam. Everyone has a weakness. I guess yours is my hypnosis, and Greek Mythology."

  Liam didn't have time to respond before he was caught inside that glow once again. Gabriel made the encounter short, tying him up in coils and putting him to sleep almost immiedately.

   With the genius wrapped up nice and snug, Gabriel sighed and prepared himself for some long-awaited snuggles with his human pet.

  Sorry it took so long to post! I've been busy. January-March is always very busy for me, so you'll notice that I disappear for a while at the beginning of the year. Hopefully things calm down soon! Again, I can't promise a schedule of any kind. I just post whenever I have time, which usually ends up being in the evening.

  Anyway, here's the long-awaited chapter 7!
