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.
