Lab 504...

Chapter 2

This is a continuation of chapter one...kind of.....it's the same character....yea...

My name is Gilbert d'lelievre. My name means "bright pledge". I am 20 years old. My mother's name was Renee' meaning reborn. My father's name was Francis meaning free. My uncle's name is Antonio meaning flower, which makes since because he owns a winery and vineyard called "Le vin de la Fleur", the flower's wine. My grandfather was named Alonzo meaning noble. My grandmother was named Joan meaning god is gracious. Names are funny. They have meanings that never seem to be accurate. My mother died, she wasn't reborn, and my father wasn't free, he was trapped by the grief of losing the love of his life. My uncle, well ironically his name was right. He was handsome, he owned a winery whose name translates to the flower's wine. My grandfather certainly wasn't noble. He abused my grandmother. She suffered from abuse everyday and believed that god would be gracious enough to make it stop. That day never came. She died of heart cancer, a slow and painful death, on her 64th birthday. Though it was probably of a broken heart. My father knew of this abuse, he tried to stop it, but couldn't, so he simply kept me away from them so I'd never know. My family was far from perfect. But they're not the reason I am how I am today. You see, in humanity there are hybrids. These hybrids are given the attributes and abilities of the demon, angel, god, or deity who claims them. These hybrids take up about 1% of humanity, and thrive in places of great spiritual power. They tend to avoid holy places though regardless of what claimed them. They used to me more rare, like when the people were scared and suspicious of the unknown. This is how the Salem witch trials began, though I think hey should be called the Salem which trials, because there were no trials, they just killed the offenders. The reason this started was because a group of hybrids, god Angel and demon alike, decided to band together and create a place where they'd all be able to use their gifts in peace and not have to fear death for letting their hybrid features show, it turns out that one of these such hybrids was actually a human, who turned traitorous and got them all killed...
