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.
