Gabriel muffled a chuckle after his brother started to get annoyed by him. There was something about annoying people you like, at the moment, not in a pushy way. It usually wasn’t necessary with Michael. He rolled his eyes dramatically as his brother gave his opinion on something he didn’t even knew that well. Gabriel put the lollipop inside his mouth as Michael was getting to the interesting part and he nodded a little when he was done talking. He thought deeply about it but only for a few seconds. ‘’It’s really not the first time that evil beings walked upon Earth, brother. Though the idea of gathering such creatures together seems quite alarming. What do you think will happen if there’s no barries anymore around this town?’’ Gabriel asked, cautiously, almost in a casual voice.

‘‘For me? Kiddo, this keeps me going. Plus, enchanted teeth and angel metabolism.’‘ Gabriel smiled and indicated with one finger to his face. He winked at her before turning to the almost gone treat, ready to finish it up.

Gabriel watched her closely while the other debated in her thoughts. He nodded at her after she spoke, then arched one eyebrow. ‘’Possibly.’’ Gabriel licked his ice cone as his eyes dropped to the book she was holding. ‘’Sappho, huh? From Lesbos, right? Damn, I miss that island.’’ As people started to walk out from the scene, making Gabriel a little bored. ‘’I guess it’s safe to say you have your quiet place for a while.’’  Suddenly the park was calm and cool, how it should be.

‘‘They really seem to be.’’ Gabriel reassured her, cherrfully. ‘’Miss, you do look to live quite an alternative lifestyle. I don’t live too much diferently, except I’m not hooked up on blood.’‘ He chuckled, lifting another oreo in his hand and shaking it into the air a few times. ‘‘Now sugary, that’s something I can’t get enough.’‘

‘’Earth have had darker days than these, bro. It’s never not time for funny business, you see, people need some laughs - or maybe I do.’’ Gabriel replied, as he quickly unwrapped a lollipop, putting the candy inside his mouth and tasting it a little before taking out by holding the stick with his fingers. ‘’I know it’s been quite a while but you should know by now that that’s how I roll the dices.’’ He sighed contently. ‘’What’s not to love about it?’’ Gabriel chuckled. ‘’Alright, alright, I know you have no sense of humor at all but Earth is amazing. I could give you a list of what to love about it, Mickey. The food, the people and, of course, Casa Erotica. And I’m not picking sides. Heaven was great until certain point and since I’ve spent more time in here then up there, you just learn how to truly enjoy it.’’ Gabriel concluded, putting the lolly again inside his mouth. ‘’What about you? What brings you here, brother?’’

He nodded at her with a small smile. ‘’You seem to work on creative ways with a sprinkle of compassion. I like that. Most creatures don’t have this kind of attitude, especially not towards what was supposed to be a pray. But you did make me curious, kiddo. What’s on your menu, then?’‘

Gabriel chuckled a little about her question, making an innocent face. ‘’Oh, no. Don’t take that as a personal insult but often same species are usually apart of what each other are up to.’’ He raised his hands up - cookies in one and ice cone in the another one - as a gesture of surrender. As she started to talk again, he laid his eyes on the scene that was almost ready to be over. Gabriel nodded, because, he had such an intense sense of justice warming himself from the inside but he couldn’t tell if the dead body actually deserved it. But it wasn’t like he was against most kind of supernatural beings - each one had their life style in a way. ‘’If that one was a real tragedy as it looks like than I might just accept your advice.’’ Gabriel watched the paramedics and cops slowly going away as he finished his ice cone. ‘’So... If you feel so terrible about this sort of death I assume it’s not what you are used to even though it’s in your nature to do?’’

Gabriel was still facing the scene and just taking another bite of cookies with ice cream when the girl began to speak. He gave her a smugly smile and spoke after swallowing it all. ‘’You must be Skylar, it’s an honor to meet you.’’ He smirked at her, turning his attention to her this time. ‘’I knew I was about to meet you, kiddo. Apparently my brother didn’t bother to introduce us properly but, you know him.’’ Gabriel shruggered, licking at the ice cone before continuing. ‘’And if you heard of me you shouldn’t be worried about the candy business, little niece.’’ Gabriel winked at her as he resumed to enjoy the sweets in hands.

Gabriel nodded at her words with a little smile while stil enjoying the candy. He was a being that was always listening, even though, he sometimes pretended that he wasn’t. Nothing personal, it was only the mischef running through his veins. ‘‘Agreed. Douchebags should be deleted. Just not sure if this one had it coming.’‘ Gabriel had empathy enough - compassion even more - to spare some people but when things got out of control and chaotic he would invervene without any mercy. At this point, both paramedics and cops started to move out of the scene, carring the dead body with them. Crime scenes were also amusing but since it was basically over, he turned to the lady by his side. ‘‘So what were you trying to read, kiddo?’‘

‘‘I understand,’‘ Gabriel smirked at her, but also giving her a disbelieve look. ‘‘I thought you could answer me this one but I guess no.’‘ He knew what she was but it wasn’t like he was actually worried about it. Gabriel was just not sure if she was genuine about the question or if she would like to play some sort of mind game but then, he talked softly and low since he was aware that there were normal people in that town. ‘‘I saw bite marks on her neck before they zipped her up. She was also awfully pale for someone who apparently just died. As if someone had emptied her to the bones out of blood.’‘

He could only do chin ups on the monkey bars for so long before things got boring. Who wanted to look at snotty-ass kids all day? Certainly not him, but he’d been temporarily ‘banned’ from the gym for ‘inappropriate conduct’… whatever that meant. Nonetheless, he was stuck here; just him and the great outdoors. Sweating profusely, he draped his discarded tank over his shoulder and grabbed his water bottle, squeezing the liquid into his mouth before capping the lid and starting off at a mild jog.

He made it to the edge of the park before stopping, the clear signs of a crime scene peaking his interest. What was going on here? He didn’t have time to figure it out. He’d only been watching for a few short moments when somebody nearby addressed him. “What?” he asked, turning his head to the side. He didn’t recognize him—just another face in the crowd, he assumed. “Oh. No, I was just passing by,” he replied. His gaze raked over the scene, watching as the paramedics zipped up the body and began to load it up. He wasn’t terribly concerned with the happenings. He was sure he could take whatever had attacked the fallen, but he was disappointed to see the lack of civilians nearby. “I thought there’d be some hot moms or dads or something, but no luck. Just the—you know.” He drew a finger across his neck and clicked his tongue to symbolize the departed.

“You?” he asked.

Even though Gabriel was in that funky town several times before, he had noticed some weird - weirder than usual - disturbance around there. He was, though, admired that so many different species had gain their access to that town that many years ago were basically a witch’s refuge. Vampire attacks were way more than usual for him but, from what he got up until now, he knew there was someone behind this chaotic scenario. It was clear that the witches’ barriers were being broken somehow. Gabriel didn’t approve any of that but since he just got to the city, he wasn’t sure what exactly he would have to fight off and kept investigating the whole place by himself. The crime scene wasn’t a good sign either. When he felt a presence beside him, he made a quick question. Maybe someone could explain this a little better for him. Gabriel looked up when the other began to speak, chuckling at his reply. At that, he finally put his eyes on him, not really ready for what he was seeing and quite content with the view. Suddenly he felt like drinking some honey beer. ‘’Yeah,’’ Gabriel nodded, chuckling lightly now. ‘’I’ve been here for just a few days and I basically instantly just crossed by this.’’ Gabriel waved with his free hand - the other still holding the ice cone - to the chaos in front of them. ‘’But no, I didn’t. Not from what I’ve seen before they zipped up the body.’’ Gabriel tilted his head to the side as he licked on the sweet in hands. ‘’Have you been living here for a while? This town seems a little different from what I have left for the last time.’’

‘‘I didn’t. I just got here, don’t know much people yet. The police seem interested, though.’‘ Gabriel nodded with his head to the cops after the Do Not Cross yellow tape. He found the many evidence for the past few days and found it odd but kept his many thoughts to himself, investing on the candy in his hands.

Gabriel hummed to himself. Las time he came here he didn’t remember any vampires around. Now there were two in front of him. He knew about the barriers and how easy was to get in a long time ago. Not to mention the demons. ‘’Crime scenes are quite fun, aren’t they?’’

‘‘With good reasons, don’t you think? Anyway, I was one sec away from here, just wanted to check if the town was still intact. Among other stuff. So, Earth, huh? Having fun yet?’‘ 

He took a look on her for a second, then back again to the scene. Gabriel got another biscuit, burried it on ice cream and gave a soft bite. ‘’It seems like you have picked the wrong spot, lady. I assume it’s not that uisual to come across something like this?’’ Gabriel thought by now people would be way more aware of what that city carried within it.
