Tales of the past.

     Few weeks had past and while Gabriel wasn't happy to be baby sitter of the Indari. He did enjoy the peace he had those few weeks, went out hunting, check on his brother. He gotten home, placing down things he collected. He gotten more blood for Raven, not sure if he need it or not. Voltaire still hadn't been heard from or seen and the creature seem to have been dealt with, he had not seen it. He assume Voltaire destroyed them, but no answers. He go to Ravens room, the coffin was empty. He glance around the house and wasn't finding him anywhere, wondering if he went out? He then heard a sound and move to head to the back of the house, outside. In the back was a training area that Voltaire had set up for them, Raven was there, training. Gabriel blink a moment, but was happy to see the Indari moving about and seem well. Though he had a eye patch on, some of his wounds were still taking their time, but Raven wasn't going to give any indication he was hurt still.

"Good to see you training." he state, Raven stood up and stared at him "Train." pointing at the ground in front of him. Gabriel arch a brow "Um...think its you who needs it more, remember I saved you." oh yes he was going to ride that for as long as possible.  Raven stared at him and Gabriel was waiting for the growls, the threats and such. "You are right, but it wasn't your job to do so. Don't forget I had to save you first and sacrifice myself to get you out. It wasn't your job to come back." he state. Gabriel blink some, he wasn't talking to him like he done in the past. Even though he was still getting on to Gabriel, Raven seem to speak to him and not down at him. "I know I need training, its why I do so every day. You need it too and to listen, you shouldn't have come back for me." Gabriel folds his arms "Well I wasn't going to let you die. Not about to have you haunt me."  Raven rolled his eyes some "Why did you come back, if it was just fear of being haunted I call bullshit." Gabriel shift his weight "Look despite our differences... I am not going to abandon you, you are still kindred." Raven stared at Gabriel still. "Then we need to train. If you are going to keep running to save others. You need to be stronger, so that you don't get caught."

Gabriel sighs and says "might be good so I can save your ass again." he smirk, but Raven stayed serious. "Dude do you ever lighten up?" Raven just took a stance and ready himself "Remember no magic, we are working on physicals." Gabriel grumbles "I know, I know." he state. They would train for a few hours, till Gabriel could see Raven still needed to heal. 

"Alright lets call it enough for today." Raven stated panting as he tried to catch his breath, Gabriel nods and move to head inside. Raven go in and sat at the table, Gabriel pulled out blood and sets it to him "I know its not fresh, but I assume it could help. I can get fresh if you like." Raven took the bottle and drank it. "This is fine, thanks you." Gabriel blinks a moment. He sit down "So...how are you feeling? I mean...after..."Raven stared at Gabriel and said "You are nothing like your father." Gabriel grimace "Ok and does this bother you?" Raven tilt his head "Its not a bad thing, I am not even like my father or uncle." He lean back and took a sharp breath. "You and I are....not so different." he tell him. Gabriel looked confused "And what gives you this thought?" curious to the Indari answers "We both born in toxic families, we both are suspected to act and be a certain way. Do anything to protect our sibling."  Gabriel listen as he spoke and then adds "Well yeah but you have a ton of siblings, I can only imagine the headaches they bring. My brother is enough for me to handle.." Raven shrugs "I only have one sibling, the rest are my uncles and mothers kids. So half siblings I guess you could say and clearly neither I or my sister are accepted by them." 

Gabriel gave a quizzical look "I have alot of half siblings as well, but then I guess thats not really private knowledge. However they do have to accept you, you are the head of the clan now." Raven nod slowly "Yes...but only cause your father deemed it so, otherwise my uncle would have killed me long ago when I was just a boy. " Gabriel raised a brow "But why would....I guess cause you are not your uncles kid." Raven look to Gabriel "There are things you don't know, things protected from you or just kept from you so you be in the dark, but our families are very much intertwine. Not in the since of relation, but in drama." Gabriel tilt his head "What do you mean?" Raven took a deep breath "My uncle had always had his eye on the throne. He thought he could take your father out. My father was loyal to your father and yet....what happen, happened." Gabriel still looked confused "I mean I know my father cursed your uncle for killing your father." Raven shook his head "It's sooo much more then that. When you and Nine were born, it was my uncle who kidnapped your brother. With a means to kill, he was going to destroy Caines only true bloodline to the throne. However you were born." Smirked "You are like a rebellion on life, refusing to let anyone get their way. However when that didn't prove and he lost your brother. He then tried to rid my father and put the blame on him years later. When you and I were kids, the story is my uncle killed my father, but no he gave my father over to hunters. He was hoping to give them enough info they could destroy your father and then he would rule the vampires. Your father knew the truth. "

Gabriel continues to listen "You see my father was given to basalisk. Your brother killed him. He was known as Twenty and your brother knew him...but not him. He knew what they made him be, what they broke him to be. While your father put a command of protection on me claiming my uncle my never kill me....I learn he knew where my real father was and he never saved him. Never saved him or your brother." he state. "So when I say you are nothing like your father...it is not an insult. When I came at you before, I worried you were like him. I wanted to hate you cause of what your father condemn my family to be. However I saw you were nothing like him, I could see your heart was not darken like his." he look at the table "So when your mother came to me....I gladly took the job, cause if I was going to train you stand against him, then I was going to train you properly. " Gabriel sat there in silent and just took in everything Raven had said. It seem their family really was closer then he had thought "So why doesn't the Indari just turn against Caine then?" Raven smirked "They saw what he did to my uncle. Its why they all look to me. They think I can stop him and while I am strong...I am not strong enough." Gabriel narrow his eyes "So all the fighting and only following power is bullshit." Raven glared at Gabriel "Your father is power, its not bullshit. Its why the rule was made. You think I like fighting all the time, constantly have to be on guard cause one of my half siblings might assassinate me. No...I have to be strong all the time, I have to always be ready to fight. Some of us to get the luxury of relaxing, of running away." he state. Raven slowly stood up "But I need rest and when I wake, we will train more." Moving to his room, Gabriel sat there processing everything Raven told him. How is it the Indari knew all this, but he didn't.

Tales of a rescue

     Blood was running down the side of Ravens face, dripping off his chin as the Indari was panting. The creature had gotten one of his eyes out, the silvered eye with the serpent pupil.  The creature gazed at the eye closer "I never seen a creature with such different eyes, no one is going to believe these came from the same creature." they spoke and went to set the eye down on the table in a bowl of ice.  Raven was trying to hold strong, but he was getting weaker and weaker. The poison of the blood was still running through him, he watch with the eye he had left as the creature moved about. However the creature seem to froze a moment and glanced out at the door. "I'll be back for the other eye." they said and left the room. Raven would collapse if he wasn't bound up, he just pants still trying to catch his breath. Looking around the dark room, he would try to gather his strength and then tried to pull at the chains. 

He then heard footsteps and tried to stare at the door, but from all the blood lose and sickness his vision was doubled. He still tried to put up a front though, growling out as he bared his teeth. Gabriel manage to find the room and saw Raven, bloody mess. As much as he love to poke at the Indari, this was not the time. He run over "Its ok me." he told him, but as Gabriel got closer, he started to see the extent of damage Raven had. He also notice his eye missing "Sheesh, he really fucked you up." Raven still growled "You were suppose to stay away." Gabriel shook his head "Seriously going to argue? Shut up." he help Raven out of the chains and he could feel the Indari was leaning on him greatly. He knew Raven had to be in shape, if he was going to really use him as support. Right as he thought that, Raven had gathered all his strength and pushed off "Come on lets go...I'm getting you out of here." Gabriel blinks a moment "Me? Uh I am rescuing you." maybe Raven was delusional.

While the two bolted to escape, the creature entered a room in the building. Spotting someone in the shadow, tilting their head "Finally you arrived." they spoke as Voltaire emerged. "Indeed." They moved near each other and looked each other up and down. As if they were sizing each other up "May I ask why you wanted to see me and why you felt the need to attack two simple vampires." The being tilt their head "Those two are anything but simple." Voltaire sighs "Fair enough, but still." The creature stared a moment and then spoke "You are not easy to find, figured you fancy them so it was best way to coax you out." Voltaire would listen and just take in their word. "Well here I am...may I ask who sent you?" The creature then actually smiled "My father sent me to find you. Said you could help." which this took Voltaire by surprise "Soo you did this, to ask for my help? What makes you so sure I will."  The creature then stared at him "I...because we are family." 

Gabriel was following Raven keeping close, before Raven stopped, leaning against the wall. "You know its fine to ask for help." Raven growled "NO! Its my job to protect you, NOT the other way around." as he began to shiver. Gabriel growled "Stop being so stubborn." and then Raven threw up.  Gabriel blinks some "What all did he do to you?" Raven groaned some "Nothing...just pathetic attempts.....just still reeling from his blood." Gabriel blinks " YOU DRANK FROM IT?" but before he could get answers Raven stared to bite into his own arm for food. Gabriel blinks and pinned Raven to the wall. Ravens only eye now turned black. Gabriel yelled "WHAT ARE YOU DOING??" but Raven threw up blood on him, causing Gabriel to let go and leap back "WHAT THE FUCK!" and then Raven fell to the ground unconscious "Oh great..." Gabriel state as he went to pull Raven up, but was met with Voltaire "What happened?" Gabriel stared at him "What do you think happen? He got hurt by that thing, did you stop it?" Voltaire look Raven over "There something more..." Gabriel huff " he drank its blood, are you going to answer me?" Voltaire pondered and said "Get him home, I will be there shortly. There should be a coffin, put him in it, we have to put him in a slight torpor." 

Gabriel stared at him "What are you not telling me?" Voltaire look to Gabriel "GET GOING NOW! I will be there with blood. We have to submerge him or he is going to die." Gabriel watched as Voltaire bolted and looks to Raven. "Ugh you are as bad as my brother." making his way home with the Indari. Voltaire had already beaten him there and had the coffin filled with blood. Gabriel lifted and puts Raven in, making sure to submerge his whole body and then shuts it. "He will need to be in there for  atleast a week, maybe longer. You will have to take care of him.... I need to go." Gabriel blinks "WAIT! I want answers....." but Voltaire was gone already.

Tales of Endurance

    Gabriel had sent out word in hopes it reach Voltaire. While part of him was soooo never going to let Raven live this down, he still felt the need to protect his own. Despite the rift between them, Raven had came to his aid, got him free and did his job. He was going to return the favor, while he waited for Voltaire to find him, he tried to think who or what the bioweapon was. He sat at the table, playing with the Æther dagger he had. Staring at it as he was trying to rack his brain, before he was hit with a memory. Remembering a man that had sought him out back when he thought Nine was dead. When Voltaire was down a dark road, unstable at the time. Remembering them giving him this dagger and that they referred to Voltaire as a weapon. Then it hit him, this creature target, it was Voltaire. He would arch a brow, looking to the dagger and thought, if this could hurt Voltaire, maybe, just maybe it could hurt the creature too. He get up and head out, to the last place the creature had him. However before he did, he left a note for Voltaire, stating to seek him at the location instead.

Raven was bound up, the creature had fed off his energy. Despite the weaken state, Raven still tried to fight the creature at every turn. It intrigued them, the other was often mouthy, but Raven would wait and bide time and strike when he thought was best. However it was more like a wild animal, it wasn't the zapping of energy that got Raven caught. No it was the fact he actually bit into the beings skin and got its blood, its blood had done the damage. It had weaken and poisoned him, but Raven wasn't going down without a fight still. The creature had tried to see the endurance Raven could take, breaking bones and cutting fingers off. He even ripped out a few teeth and the biggest thing that truly amused them was Raven ability to heal or regrow from it. 

The being was reaching into Raven side, to pull at a rib there. Raven refusing to give it any satisfaction of a painful scream, merely growled out feral like. The creature broke and ripped out the one rib, tilting their head as Raven glared at them. Much like a predator would, when plotting. The creature look about "He is taking to long. Perhaps he cares not for you as I thought. Does that bother you?" looking to Raven, but all the Indari do was spit blood into the beings face.  The creature blinked confused by the action, they reached out to try and cup the Indari face. However it was proven hard as Raven tried to bite him.

The creature stop a moment and would move to their tools and grab one and then went to move fast to grip Raven neck. Since Raven was still poisoned by the blood, his speed was not its best.  Holding the Indari still, Raven still growled and bared his teeth. "I need to send your so called friend a message though, to show I am not playing games. Shame too, you have exquisite eyes." Moving the tool to the Indari eyes.

Gabriel arrived the building and stood before it, for some reason a chill ran over him. He couldn't place the feeling he felt, but he knew he had to stop this creature no matter what. Not far from Gabriel was a figure in the shadows, watching him.

Tale of besting the Indari

    Gabriel awoke again, still weak, if possible even weaker then before. This time he wasn't strapped to a table, but still bound by the wrist as he hung there by them. His vision was blurry and the room was dark, but he could tell this wasn't the same place and the smells alone told him that he wasn't even in the same city anymore. He was cursing himself for getting caught and being in this situation. This new body didn't even help against this being, he never even face anything like it. The door open and Gabriel was blinded by the light, as the being walked in. He had a goblet in his hand and moved to Gabriel as the door shut and Gabriels eyes tried to adjust, focus. Staring as he saw the silvery looking fellow, his cheeks were sunken and he seem to still have this devoid look. Those solid red hues staring at Gabriel, but it almost seem like nothing was inside. No soul, no thought and yet Gabriel knew better. He knew it had thought, the being caught him.

The being grabbed Gabriel jaw and was forcing his mouth open as it poured the goblet into his mouth then force it shut. It was blood, but Gabriel thought it could be poison or laced with something. However it was just blood, normal blood. So it seem they were atleast going to keep him from starving, but it was only enough to keep him from doing such. Nothing more, not enough to restore strength at all.  Gabriel coughed as the being step back and took a few deep breaths "Why......why are you doing this? Who do you work for?" Gabriel tried to ask.

The being stared at him blankly, tilting his head "It seems you are important." it spoke monotone like. Gabriel stared confused "You have a guard......why?" they ask him.  Gabriel watch them and was trying to get a read, but nothing come from them, no emotions, no aura, nothing. Gabriels silence however was met with the being pushing their fingers into Gabriels flesh of his chest.  Causing him to cry out, they slowly keep pushing "Eventually you will answer." they said. Gabriel gasp as some blood escaped his mouth, but then the being stopped and glance at the door. They pulled out their hand and walked out of the room, leaving Gabriel to reel back from the whole thing. There was no mark on his chest weirdly enough, but he could have swore that they stabbed into him there. 

After ten minutes the door opens and Gabriel wince from the light again, however he could tell this wasn't the same person. He could feel emotions off them, he knew this feeling. He look to see Raven, who held onto him and cut his wrist free. Gabriel would lean into Raven, using him to keep standing "What kept you?" he ask. However Raven shoves Gabriel away and pulls out his blade as he is grappled by the being. Gabriel sat on the ground watching as the two fought. The being would make contact every now and then at Raven and no matter how many times Ravens blade struck at the being, it didn't seem to cut through the skin. 

Till Raven finally manage to cut through the being, at the sake of his blade that crack to do so. The being stumble back and looks to the cut, then to Raven "You are much stronger then the other." it said. Gabriel wonder if it was Raven the being was after, then Gabriel started to notice a slight stagger in Ravens movements. Raven growled as he lower to ready himself, the being watched and moved when Raven came at them. They grab and grapple the Indari, then Raven let one of his blades go and grabs the being and threw them through a wall. Bolting to grab Gabriel and try to get them out, rounding corners. Till he come to a small nook in the place and pushed Gabriel back as he fell back against the wall trying to catch his breath, Gabriel could tell Raven had gotten much weaker. It seem to have zapped his energy as well "Come on Raven, we have to get out of here." Raven growled at Gabriel. "Worry not of me boy. I will get you out no matter what." He glance around the corner and gave Gabriel a hush sign. 

The being moved past the hall they were hiding in, Raven waited to make sure it went down further. He then move down the hall more with Gabriel. The come to a small break in the wall, Raven would go to push Gabriel to it "Get out." he told him. As Gabriel crawled through it and was out of the building, looking back as he heard a cry out and could see past Raven that the being found them. Raven pulled up his blade and said "RUN!" Gabriel blink "No...we can take him together." Raven snarled "GO! I'll catch up." he then bolted to the creature striking at it. 

Gabriel frown, but did as Raven commanded and ran. He ran for a while and managed to find his way back to their hideout. He still felt soo weak, so fatigued from his time with the being, most of it was blank. He didn't even know how long he been captured, how long Raven been searching. He collapse into his bed and slept.

He woke the next day and ran through the house, but there was no Raven, he growled and knew he should have helped, but Raven was known to be a survivor, perhaps he was held up somewhere else. Gabriel grab his weapons and headed out to find him. As he looked around, he once again became face with the being and Gabriel drew his sword. "The weapon." it spoke. Gabriel raised a brow "Yeah its a weapon and I will destroy you with it." This being didn't have blood, he could tell, so his blood magic wasn't going to be effective, however he had other tricks. Though it spoke again "We seek the weapon, bring it to us...or we will return the other to you in pieces." Gabriel blink, so it did capture Raven. What the hell was the weapon? He look confused "I don't know what you are talking about, if you want this sword fine, but return Raven." It tilt his head some "Raven......interesting.....and we want the bioweapon, I saw you talk to it. I saw you were close." Saw? This means it been watching them for a sometime, but Gabriel had been seen with lots of people, this could be anyone. Was it his brother? Was this some link to basalisk? He tried to wrap his mind, but before he could respond, it was gone. He stood there and wonder if Voltaire would know something.

Tales of new foe?

    Gabriel slowly woke up, feeling much weaker then ever before. He move to hold his head, but then realized he was strapped to a table. He tried to struggle against the bindings, but they seem to have been enchanted. Plus he didn't have the energy to try and struggle out. He felt like he went on a long week of parties or that he went into a bunch of minds at once. His head was screaming at him and he was trying to remember what happened. How did he get here, why was he here. Did his father finally figure it out? He could hear cries of others, but they seem to have been in another room. The room looked run down and he was sure he was in the slums part of town. Now he just needed to figure out how to break free. He tried to figure out why someone would kidnapped a random vampire, if this person didn't work for his father. He feel a hand on his forearm and suddenly he was even weaker. He couldn't figure it out "Shhow your selff." he spoke in a sluggish tone. 

The creature seem to observe him and slowly moved his hand away, they move about and it was indeed the purple haired man. Who would stare down at him with solid red eyes. Something was VERY off about this being, the way he stared, was more like a robot then normal person. His face held nothing to it, it was as if he was trying to calculate something. Gabriel seen such a look once, but that moment wasn't coming to mind. Instead he just stare at him and says "What can't talk?" the being just still stared at him. He was rather small, not much for muscles and yet Gabriel could have sworn they were strong. Their hair was slicked back, their skin was almost silver looking.

The reach out to Gabriels face with their claw like hand, Gabriel tried to jerk, but it was slow in movement. "Don't touch me." he hiss. The being didn't seem phase by the words, just touched his face, much like a blind person does. Gabriel tried to snap ate the hand and the being didn't move it. However its flesh was alot stronger and the skin tasted horrible. Gabriel gagged and made a horrible face, as the being slowly moved his hand away. They continue to inspect him, looking him over, Gabriel look at them again "So you are not going to talk? Who sent you? Why did you capture me?" 

The being looked at him and tilt its head "Ah yes the auto response as kicked in." even its voice was devoid of emotions. "You are a vampire yes?" it ask. Gabriel blinks some and then says "I'm not answering anything." The being tilt his head the other way "And yet suspect us to answer you." their eyes glowed a little. "You are not our target. Merely the bait for the real target." Gabriel arch a brow "you are after Raven?" They stared a moment "Either that is the name of the other, your lover or what not, or its a bird you speak." trying to figure out which. Gabriel protested "WE ARE NOT TOGETHER LIKE THAT...why does everyone assume that?" 

The being just stared "You two bicker alot, looks like old couples do, or so we have observed or read." he said point blank and then moved away. It come back with a tray that had knives and tools on it, he take a scalpel and move to Gabriel stomach. Gabriel spoke up "If I am not your target then why are you about to gut me?" The being stopped and seem to ponder a moment, then spoke "We are going to take your heart and leave it for our target." Gabriels eyes widen. Oh he could not let this happen, he was trying to think a moment "Don't you think if you kill me, that your target be mad? They probably kill you." They look to Gabriel "They are likely to try anyways, but we are not afraid."

Gabriel squirm some, but they did stop a moment "However.......you did seem important to the target....perhaps such is premature." Gabriel breathed out slowly. "Plus that one....is trying to track you and throwing your scent off in other directions is not as effective as I'd have liked. They seem rather good, only a matter of time before found.....we should change locations." Gabriel tried to think of a plan for when he be unbound, but instead the creature bit on to him again. He felt that same feeling he felt before he got here and then everything went blank.

Raven had been checking every location that smelt of Gabriel and was pissed he wasn't finding much of anything. He been even following possible people, he knew this wasn't the work of Kain, cause there had been some trail to follow. He been wandering the slums for a while, looking, checking each building. He finally come to one that had a faint scent, he move in. Screams were heard in it, it was apparently where junkies and predators went to. However he wasn't finding who he seek and then he got a strong smell of Gabriel. He run, hand on his blades as he kicked the door down, to his disappointment though, the room was empty. The being had already up and left and took Gabriel with it, Raven growled and kicked the table to the other side of the room. He was getting real annoyed, this creature was skilled for sure, but he could be better and knew it. He wasn't giving up on Gabriel that fast, no he was going to find him and figure out who is behind it.

Tales of the Energy Vampire

        Gabriel had finally manage to talk Raven into letting him go out and hunt on his own,  it just felt good to not have someone looming in the shadows. He walked around the city, enjoying the day. It was a rather lovely day, glancing about at each beautiful woman that pass by. Pondering who he should go for, he only half wonder what Raven was doing. Zantro was still tied up in the basement and something about how Raven acted when he left just made his skin crawl. That grin he had, the look in his eye, it reminded him of his father when he was about to do something terrible. He was certain Raven was about to do something to Zantro, maybe torture him, something. The thought of finding body parts and Raven gnawing on a arm did come to mind. However he did get to know Raven a bit and assume that, that wouldn't be the case. Though he was sure there would be blood, which is why he went out to hunt. 

It been a while since he fed and he didn't want to lose it on the scent of blood and he needed strength to train more. So he head to the tavern, sometimes he could find an easy target. Although on his way there, he passed a book store and decided to go in it instead. Perhaps he could find himself a book and a snack, moving about the place. There was a few people around, glancing at the few. He saw a couple of girls, one was an elf girl, to which Gabriel sneered a little, the other was a beauty who had a pale blue skin. She looked promising for sure, he also noted a male elf walking about and some guy with purple hair. Though they had their back turned so he didn't catch their face. He would casual walk over checking out the books where the pale blue skin girl was at. She would venture off and go around a corner, heading deeper. The book store was rather large. Though nowhere near as huge as Teldar Library that was in another realm. It did have nice quiet nooks, where peeping eyes would not see and rooms for people to go and read in peace. Perfect hunting ground honestly, he casual follow, but wasn't obvious about it. 

He get back near her and reached for the same book she did. They both recoiled their hand and chuckle "Sorry I didn't see you reaching." he say smoothly and the girl giggle more and casually pushed her black hair behind her pointed ear "Oh...yeah I...you can go ahead." He smiled sweetly "No I insist you take the book." She stared at his two tone eyes " I..I never met another person who enjoys poetry of dwarves." she say as she pulled the book out. Gabriel didn't, but he did know it from studies.  "Oh yes, they way they are with their words and the passion for their gems is just inspiring." 

She smiled wider "Right! Ugh, I wish more people could understand that." Gabriel nods slowly "Yeah I suppose you just have to have an eye for it." she chuckle again and then bite her lip, it was clear she found him attractive and that made this much easier. "You know.. 'we...well we could go to one of the rooms and um...share the book?" she spoke a little unsure, to which Gabriel just smiled still "Well only if you want too, I wouldn't want to impose." She look down some as she chuckle "I ..don't mind....only if...you read it." Gabriel smile widen "I be honored to read to such a beauty." they head for one of the rooms and and Gabriel shut the door. 

There were a few chairs in the room and a couch, to which they sat there. She didn't get shy about snuggling up against Gabriel, he would read a few pages of the book to her. She didn't hide her interest in him at all, she paw at him the whole time. Gabriel made her wait and kept her in suspense, pretending not to notice. Till he thought it was the right time to make his move and of course that was right when she kissed him. He didn't push her away, he return it and even nip at her lip and start kissing down to her jaw and her neck. She press herself against him, holding him tight, taking it as a sign. He sink his fangs into her neck and this cause a moan to escape her, as his bites had been known  to feel greater then sex. Hitting the right spots, causing her to push against him more, practically trying to hump him. 

Some time had passed and he put her in a sleep, so that to her it was all a dream. However after he finished, he had this horrid feeing all of the sudden. He glance around the room as it felt darker then before. Standing up and just moving about slowly, he then thought he felt a hand on him and turn. It was driving him nuts as he thought someone was in the room and touching him and not just that, but each touch made him feel sluggish. Till someone came behind him fast and bit him in the neck, and this bite had weird effects. It made his mind fog and he couldn't think straight to use his magic, he felt paralyzed. He could tell his blood wasn't being drained, but his energy was. The room felt darker and he felt he couldn't stay awake any longer. The only thing he could see was purple hair, before everything went black.

Hours had passed and Raven came out of the basement cleaning one of his small blades, easy for flaying flesh. He look about and wonder if Gabriel had return yet, he move to his room and knocked on the door. No response and so he open to not find him there, Raven move about the whole house trying to find him and couldn't. He told Gabriel to be home at a certain time and that time had come. He head out and went to try and sniff him out, following his scent. He go to the bookstore where it was still strong and head in. Follow each step Gabriel had made, till he came into the room where the pale blue skin girl had just woken blushing. Raven stared at her and look around the room, the scent just vanished there. No trace anywhere else, nothing, this bothered the Indari, it was clear Gabriel had been napped. Raven growled causing the girl to run out and he march out himself cursing under his breath as he have to try and find Gabriel and who took him.
