Scarlett's P.O.V
*
When Gabe disappears from the balcony I suddenly feel...lost and then I remember that inside the ballroom Clay plans to kill his evil dad and that kinda brings me back to earth. I have to ignore Gabe and his problems and concentrate on Clay but just as I'm turning to head back into the room, the air ruffles and Gabe blocks my path. His skin is shining golden and there are thick tears in his eyes. I blink and reach out to touch his arm,
"What happened!" I gasp. He grins and then stares up at the sky,
"I saw the truth" He mumbles, "Scarlett...I am an angel" For a second the silence holds and then I laugh,
"I'm the devil, nice to meet you" I chuckle...I mean what the hell?...Has he gone crazy or something,
"I'm serious..." He says and then shakes his head, "Look it doesn't matter if you don't believe me...that doesn't matter...I have a way to...change things. Make things right"
"Make what right? I don't understand" Gabe is smiling though...his skin glowing,
"Don't worry...it's ok...all you have to do is believe...yeah pretty cheesy right?" He's mumbling away, "And jee Scarlett...imagine an amazing dress you can't go back to life looking like a ninja"
"Back to life? What the fuc..."
"Shh" He places his fingers on my lips for a moment. Blue eyes watering down tears which don't stop flowing, "You ever heard those stories? Where someone dies and then for some reason...some unbelievable moment they come back...as if they had just stepped from the grave? It's only happened a few times in the history of earth...but it has happened....it's angels Scarlett...it's the final thing we can do...sacrifice ourselves"
"Gabe I...you mean...I'm going....You're...I..."
"You're going back to him Scarlett...you're going to stop him fighting his dad and you're going to be happy...it may not be a long time but it might be for years but you'll have a chance. I will give you this chance"
"And what happens to you?" I gasp,
"I live knowing I done right" He whispers and brushes a strand of my black hair from my face,"I don't love you Scarlett...but I love your love...live free" He breathes and then...then my world explodes into a fierce burning light...and I am nothing....
