(I love both of your guyss writings TT^TT)
The water swished back and forth onto the shore, inching closer to the two beings with each small wave. The foam dissolving at the touch of the sand. The sight of the demon hovering over such a precious being as this human.. the prophet. It made Gabriels turn and his face filled with digust.
He sat high up on one of the nearby rocks as the night grew colder and the wind whistled through his feathers.
Pressing the golden brown wings to his back softly, his soft silhouette and the faint yellow glow of his eyes were visible.
What would this pesk do next? A demon couldnt take a soul without the human making a deal. And he wasnt even consious yet.
Gabriel had a plan, so for now he sat back and watched the vermin and the prophet
Albellona hummed, checking his pulse. "C'mon, ya lil fuck, wake up, I gotta take your soul. Seriously, c'mon, I have a quota to meet here." She mumbled, shaking him slightly, chewing her lip. "Seriously, man, are you dead?" She hissed, getting frustrated. She didn't want another punishment for not meeting quota again. It wasn't fun last time.
Alex was sure he was dead. Even as he coughed out an unhealthy amount of water and was somehow yanked back to the sad reality of life. He gasped for air, letting as much water out of him as he could as he slowly twisted himself to the side, more concerned with breathing than dealing with the woman standing above him he could make out in the corner of his eye. "Holy hell," He groaned, coughing still but now very much alive, "Ouch."
"Finally!" Albellona said, grinning. I got him! Not getting the weird energy, but I'm gonna met quota! "You're awake." She kept her voice soft, pushing her damp hair from her face. A little bedside manner never hurt in getting a soul. "Can you speak?"
"Yeah," He groaned, flipping over again so he was facing the sky as he finally focused on the woman above him, "Am I dead?" Alex felt dead, in the sense that he had literally just drowned and couldn't think straight, though maybe that was what death felt like. He didn't even attempt to sit up either, just let his eyes close again as he coughed for the millionth time.
"Only for a few minutes, hun." She said gently. "You're lucky. Humans are fragile, they usually don't come back. A bit weird, isn't it?" I'm gonna get a soul, I'm gonna get a soul~
Alex sighed, blinking a few times to clear the stinging water out of his eyes as he eventually sat up, "Who are you?" Even in his hazy state he recognised her wording and asked a moment after, "You said humans, as if you aren't one." He couldn't stop the fit of coughs that came over him after he talked, still spitting up remenats of the sea that he had swallowed.
"Maybe I'm not." She said, smiling softly. "You're lucky you're alive." Albellona let out a soft hum. "You'd think you'd have sold your soul to live…"
Hey, gently leading them to that conclusion worked sometimes. It never had to be fair.
(Smart lol)
Now was time for Gabriel to intervine. The demon sure knew what she was doing. And she was good at it too.
The air around them starten to thicken and a warm fog swarmed around them.
"I could smite you right now….but ill think that would have to wait" he says jumping down from the high rock, his golden brown wings unfolding only a little as he did- giving him an ever so graceful landing.
His eyes darted to the prophet, noticing he was still bleeding out. He wasnt going to die, but this would ease the pain for him.
Getting closer to the demon and the human, he kneltndown in the sand and pressed his hand to the mans chest and his eyes brightened to a soft warm glow. The wounds dissapeared within seconds and so did the glow.
"Hello, im terribly sorry fir not introducing myself. Im Gabriel. Are you alright?" He asked.
His voice was soft and deep, but threatening to anyone who deserved to feel his wrath.
He shot a piercing glare towards the demon before calmly looking back at him.
(Quick question, can Alex see Gabriel's wings? I'll change my response if he cant)
"What are you-," Alex started, cut off as a tall male with what looked like wings landed beside him. Now he was sure he wasn't alive anymore. He staye silent, eyes now wide in obvious shock, wonder and confusion, especially as the attractive man knelt beside him. All he did was press a hand to his chest and in an instant the pain from his wounds dissappeared. After a quick once over, he noted his wounds in general were gone.
"What are you?" He asked, blinking and shaking his head slightly, "I'm fine..though I'm very sure this isn't real. I must have hit my head…" Gabriel's voice, as he introduced himself, was soothing to Alex, but he tried not to dwell on that. Especially seeing as this whole thing wasn't real. It couldn't be.
(Yeah he can lol. He can choose who sees his wings and who doesn’t)
Gabriel had his soft expression glued to his face as if it was resting face.
“I’m Gabriel. Before i tell you anything else, lets get you warmed up” he says softly, helping him stand with a soft hand (yooo I’m rhyming)
(Also sorry its short this time)
Alex frowned, then pointed slowly at the woman that had initially been with him, "Do you know her?" He was definitely asking too many questions for the situation he was in, but the last thing he wanted to do was go with someone he didn't know, no matter if this was just a dream or not. He took Gabriel's hand and stood, coughing again but seeming much less dead than he was a few minutes prior.
(Im gonna wait for Toxic to post real quick)
((Sorry! I had my SAT and then had to run some errands with mom!))
Abellona glared sharply at Gabriel, mismatched eyes cold. "You." She hissed, disdain clear in her once gentle voice. "I had the situation perfectly under control here, you feathery bag of dicks! Go back to your boss!"
(Oh golly, thats fine!! ♡)
"There that attitude is… how have you been Abellona?" Gabriel asks kindly, the warm fog still drifting around the three beings
"Oh, fuck off!" She said angrily. "I had him, fair and square. I was here first." Also, She thought, with a small shudder. I don't want to go back in that pit… "I'm here to do my job!"
"I'm definitely dreaming," Alex mumured as he listened to the two of them fight. They seemed to know each other, and when Gabriel called the woman by name, he knew they had history together. While Abellona and Gabriel talked, Alex took a small step away, debating making a run for it.
Gabriel sighed, closing his eyes for a second "you know im not one for very flashy deaths but im not afraid to strike you down here and now. Now you Abellona very well know that. Leave the prophet be and we'll be on our way. While you can wither in hell with the other demons" he says coldly.
He could simply take the human and fly away, but his mental state wasnt ready for that. Aa far as he knew, he had just died. Which technically he did
"Look, I'm flattered you think I'm high enough on the food chain to fall for your prophet shit, but I'm already here." She said, mismatched eyes sharpening into a piercing glare. "Now, fuck off, go heal some kid's broken leg or whatever the fuck it is you do." She grabbed Alex's arm, tugging him toward her. "I have a fucking job to do."
Alex yelped as he was yanked towards Abellona, eyes wide with both confusion and fear. He wasn't strong, but that didn't stop him from trying to pry her hand off his arm. "Look, I think this is a misunderstanding," He said, glancing between the two others, still trying to break free, "You have the wrong person. I'm not this 'prophet' you're looking for."
"Language" he sighs and shook his head, waving his hand and pushing the demon backwards and pulling Alex towards him, grabbing his arm with a firm grip. Though sure not to hurt him. He wanted to gain his trust.
He turned to him with cqlm eyes "i need to take you somewhere safe. Or else you will be tortured and killed. Now do you want to be kept safe or demon food" he asked, spreading his wings getting ready to leave
Albellona let out a small surprised sound, wincing a bit when she hit the ground. She really hated she could still feel pain. She wasn't even fucking human anymore, for Satan's sake! "Let him go, you mother fucking-!"
"I would want to go home," He said quietly, glancing between the two and now trying to pry Gabriel's hand off his arm, "I told you, you have the wrong person." Alex was now thoroughly freaked out from this, and if it wasn't clear from how pale he was and how wide his eyes were, he was extremely close to fainting.
