Chapter 28 - Away Again

Chapter 28

Gabrielle was merely petting both of the owls in silent as she watches from the window, the sunlight dying the room into a saffron color. She was alone in the room with Fleur having a conversation with the kind woman, Adele, down stairs. She was with them before she got here, the two were both worried –Fleur about their parents and Adele worrying over Y/N's going along with the clocked man that seem to sneering like snake.

Gabby shivered at recalling how his eyes burns on her the very first time their eyes met. It was said that Y/N's gonna be gone for a while, probably will be returning a few days but before New Year. And it had been almost five days to be exact since she was gone.

She decided to head back here and when she entered the room, Gabby immediately spotted the pile of feathery birds cuddled with the thick furred cat that seems to follow whenever Y/N goes. Pixie, she once heard Y/N called the cat. The three of them hadn't really much left that space, except that the day after Y/N was gone, both of the owl had flew out of the window carrying few envelops, only to return in the middle of the night, a day after.

Gabby can admit she feel intimidate by the mere presence of the mysterious feline with the owls, wondering why the cat seems to be staring at her –at her soul­ every times their eyes met. Fleur felt the same too; her older sister admitted it before her. And when she saw how peaceful the three of them were, the cat looked less scary.

She advances to simply pet one of the owls –careful not to get too close to the feline – and she touched the hawk-like one who sounded as if it was purring along with the Siamese cat, and when Gabby comb his feathers, she figured that the owl was really doing it! The sweet sound of soft snore were really did come from him.

Gabby's attention then shifted to the white one and when it softly coo at her too, she petted his feathers but the hawk-like one got a bit jealous and cooed again to regain her attention. In the end, she decided to sit down in Y/N's bed and continue to give her undivided attention to them.

Though when Gabby's weight bounce on the cover, the haste caused a wave of sweeten scent to slam in her nostril. It reminds her of something rosy, yet there's a taste of butter with it that collides with something earthy, a coconut comes in mind as well. Gabrielle never sniffed something as mouthwatering as this; it made her still and simply exam it.

It's been why she now lay in Y/N's bed; it was so comforting and helps cease her worries about her parents. Gabby, snapping out of her sudden trance, just ignored the strange smell and focused on petting the owls.

She hadn't yet touched the cat, Pixie would stare at her daringly, those says beckons her to try and place even just the tip of her finger on her –and Gabby did tried, only to stop when the cat's ears perks up and she look like she picked up something interesting, and for good measure she sniffed the air for a while before standing from the bed then and make an exit without haste. Gabby only noticed now that she had left the door half-way closed, and the cat was probably headed downstairs.

So much for being cute, Gabby sighs.

But what startled her was when the owls woke from their nap quickly as if they weren't asleep at all and flattered their wings to ascend into the air, following Pixie out of the room with a screech. This weirdness was followed by a loud shouting coming from down stairs and Gabby, curious of what the noise was for, step out of the room and carefully tiptoed to the stairs.

It was coming from the bar.

And so, she made a beeline to the only door connecting the living room and the bar, and saw the three –Nagel, Ordeal, and Pixie –standing in front of it, waiting for the door to be opened while Pixie impatiently scratching the door to let someone hear her urgency. Gabrielle opens it slowly, wide enough to peek through the door, but not wide enough to let the three out, but she couldn't see much.
