The Angelic Killer and the Demonic Savior

Heresy

I sat across from Gabriel as he finished his dinner. I ate a little salad not feeling all that hungry. We were in a fairly nice restaurant "Enjoying" our time together. I was so torn; I could feel my heart rate quicken for him but at the same time it felt so torn aching in pain as his actions sliced through it. I smiled up at him as he looked at me, 

"What's wrong my love? You have been quiet all night" his eyes looked into mine lovingly.

"Oh just tired. And  a little frustrated with finding this killer" He nodded in agreement, 

"Yeah, me too. But we can't give up now Lilith. We will find him, I promise you that" I nodded running my hands through my hair, 

"I know, I know....." after paying for our meals we left hand in hand as we walked along a path leading to the park, "Why do you think they do it?" He looked down at me with confusion, 

"Do what?" I shrugged, 

"Skin their victims faces..." Gabriel looked forward, 

"I don't know, maybe to prove something. Or maybe he wants something he can't have? That's what most killers say is there reason" I leaned into him enjoying his arms around me as we walked. I didn't want to think about him being the killer, I didn't want to think about him skinning the faces of the victims. All I wanted to think of was this moment with him, enjoying our conversations, making another memory together. How could someone who looks so beautiful, be so horrifying? Was it wrong that I felt safe in his arms? Was it wrong that I wanted to be with him?

I had two choices and my heart had already made it's decision, even though my mind knew it was the wrong choice that could cost me everything. To expose the truth about him and clear my name from suspicion, maybe even make people realize that I'm not a monster. Or, to ignore the truth and stay in his arms feeling loved and happy, while he continues to kill. I looked up at Gabriel stopping in my tracks, 

"What's wrong?" he almost seem to glow in the night with his angelic appearance. I knew compared to him I looked like a black moving shadow. I wrapped my arms around his neck standing on my toes as I closed the gap between our lips. His kiss was amazing only making me feel even stronger about my choice no matter how wrong it was. When I pulled away I replied softly in a whisper, 

"I love you Gabriel" He smiled down at me with a look that showed his triumph of capturing my heart.
