~Chapter 12~

Gagen’s point of view

We walk downstairs and as if the day couldn’t get any busier, there is an angel with pure white wings. Either a level six or seven. As soon as he turned around I knew it was Gabriel. I walked back and was about to make a run for it when Aiden grabbed me and pulled me back.

“You set this up didn’t you! You’re being all nice so in the end you could kill me! You son of a –“Aiden put his hand over my mouth and his other arm wrapped around waist.

“I’m not going to kill you!” I tried screaming but I started losing breath. Gabriel drew out a knife from his belt.

“This isn’t going to hurt a bit.” Gabriel smiled. Oh satan save me. Where is Alex when you need him?

“It isn’t going to hurt her right?”

“If you want to know for sure then we will just have to see.” Gabriel grabbed my wrist and brought the knife to it. I could tell it was saturated in someone else’s blood. He sliced it against my wrist and the pain was incredible but my wound healed up in a record five seconds. Aiden let go of me and I ran away from him. I ran into the lounge room and up the stairs to the bathroom. I banged on the door to make sure no one was in there but Alex opened the door to see a very frightened me.

“What the hell happened to you?” he said dragging me inside and closing the door behind him.

“They... Gabriel...Aiden... my wrist.”

“Woah... slow down and breath.” He said putting his hands on my shoulders to steady me.

“Gabriel is down in the kitchen... Aiden held me so I couldn’t move... and they cut my wrist. But there was someone else’s blood on it.” I said nervously.

“They what? Oh man.”

“What?”

“They were doing a ritual to see if Aiden is your twin brother. His blood was covering that knife.” He grabbed my wrist and took a look at it. “Well you healed fast.”

“Faster than normal. Five seconds.”

“Well then.”

“I thought they were going to kill me!” I said hugging him.

“I wouldn’t let them do that, plus you have angel blood in you. Look.” I let go of him and looked at my wrist. The dry blood was black but also gold. Angel blood.

“I think I’m going to throw up.” I said.

“Hey. Look at me and breath.” Someone knocked at the door.

“Alex, have you seen Gagen? We... I can’t find her.”

“Ah... I did. She told me what you did to her, but then she ran away from me because she thought I was going to kill her to.” Alex said winking at me.

“I don’t want to kill her! For satan’s sake, I only wanted to know the truth and Gabriel told me it wouldn’t hurt her.”

“Oh man. He has anger issues.” Alex whispered in my ear.

“Where is she Alex?” Aiden yelled.

“I don’t know!”

“I know she’s in there so open the door before I break it down!”

“Leave me alone!” I yelled. “Why did you bring Gabriel here? He hates my guts and has wanted me dead ever since I was born!”

“Please listen to me Gagen. I love you, ok? I wouldn’t want to kill you even if my life depended on it. I didn’t know they would send Gabriel.” He said.
