Demons

Chapter 14 Raven

Raven opened the door to Jack's room, finding him in the same position as he had been the previous days - tied to the bed pole. "So, Jack, tell me more about you." Raven's voice made Jack look up, welcoming her with a smile. "Like what? There's not much to cover." Raven took her place on the bed, putting water and food on the nightstand, "Just, more about what you do. Hunting." Jack looked at her with raised eyebrows, "You want me to tell you more about how I hunt your kind?" His voice sounded intrigued, amused even. Raven shook her head at herself, letting out a soft laugh, "I know it sounds weird, but yes, please do tell me more about hunting my kind. Do you work alone or do you work with other hunters?" Raven leaned back against the bed post, relaxing her posture, and looked at Jack curiously. "Well, mostly I like to work alone, as you can tell by myself being the only prisoner here. But we've also paired up with other creatures in Purgatory here." Jack explained between bites and gulps of his water and food, setting the glass back after finishing it. Raven sat up at that, intrigued, "What kind of creatures?" Jack finished swallowing his last bite down before speaking, "Well, at the moment my friend, Gabriel, and I formed a bond between the fallen angels and the hunters. Gabriel being an angel and me being a hunter, of course." Raven nearly choked on her spit as her eyed widened, "Gabriel? As in Gabriel with black hair, green eyes, fallen angel Gabriel?" She exclaimed, thoughts from everywhere hitting her with confusion. Jack frowned his brows, taken aback with Raven's reaction, "Yeah.. That Gabriel. Do you know him?" Raven scoffed at that, shaking her head with disbelief, "Oh I know him, alright. No wonder he's been gone for days." Jack's eyes followed Raven, who stood up to pace around the floors, "Gone? Where is he?" Raven turned to him and shrugged, "God know's where. I was at his home, and then when I woke up he was gone. No explanation whatsoever and I haven't seen him since." Raven came to a halt, still trying to grasp her thoughts together after finding out about Gabriel. Jack now started to panic, "What if he's in trouble? And I can't even search for him." He spoke, lines of distress appearing in his face, "But wait.. What were you doing at his place? He never told me about you." Raven started making her way to the door, "Doesn't matter. Look, I'll come back later, okay?" She heard Jack protest but she had already closed the door behind her.
