Gabriel

This is part of Shadow Keeper. My original intention for Gabriel was as follows... but now I think it needs more of a twist. I'm still working on it but either way he is kinda awsome :) (note: I wrote this BEFORE the whole Twilight crazy. The movies weren't out at the time, so i know some of it kinda sounds like that but it is NOT copied)

----------------

I was now sitting up. Gabriel’s eyes were like ice, piercing deep into me. I had never felt like I did as he looked at me like that. I couldn’t place the felling. My mouth somehow formed the words “Just say it.”

In two seconds he was way to close for comfort. I had never seen him move that fast. His lips brushed my ear and his arms folded around me, immobilizing me.

“What do you want me to say?”

“I need you to tell me what you are.”

“No. What do you want me to say?” His icy blue eyes were fixed on mine.

“That…this changes nothing.”

“But it changes everything.” As he said this one of his hands found the small of my back and the other the back of my head. His lips pushed against mine so hard I thought my teeth would cut through my lower lip.

He pushed me down onto my back and climbed on top of me. His legs were raped around mine, making it nearly imposable for me to fight him.

Quickly he pulled his lips from mine. Now his lips were at my throat and his breath warmed my neck. I could hardly think and there was no chance of me reacting.

“Freshman year you told me to bite you.” A dark laugh rumbled through him. “I took you seriously.”

Kissing my neck he held my body tightly against his. There was no room between us and I felt as if every part of me was touching him. I couldn’t move, couldn’t breath, and I still couldn’t think.

His lips slowly parted and he seductively ran his teeth against my skin, pushing not quite hard enough to break skin. His breath was sticky and warm.

I instantly felt it when fangs started to form. My brain started again, but before I could do anything the newly formed fangs sunk into my neck.

My eyes widened and I gasped. I could feel the blood leaving me. I had to remember to breath and I quickly took in a sharp breath.

I started to become light headed and I felt my body go limp. I thought Gabriel was on my side. How could he do this? How could he kill me? I slowly slipped into dark void unconsciousness.

He felt her go limp in his arms and within seconds she was unconscious. Something in him subsided and Gabriel slowly removed his teeth from her neck. He looked down on her and, to his horror, he noticed her neck was bleeding. Two puncture wounds were leaking her dark red blood onto her extremely pale skin.

Gently he placed his hand on her chest. There was a shallow heart beat, but that could be deceiving. Truthfully, there was no way for Gabriel to tell if he had killed her. It was often said that a person could live for several hours before they died from the blood lose of the bite.
Panic rose in his chest and tears started to roll down his cheeks. He stayed like this for a few minutes before he realized he was still sitting on top of her.

He quickly moved to her side and gathered her in his arms. He would have to make a better bed for her if he hoped to be of any help. Standing, he moved her numerous feet away before regretfully returning to the blankets.

Gabriel gathered some of the nearby tumbling bushes and moved into the shelter of the close rock formations. Once there he crunched the bushes down into a soft cushion, only wide enough for one. Then he placed almost all of their blankets on top to create another layer of the bed.
Returning to her side he crouched down and again cheeked her heart beat. It had slowed so much that it took him a few minutes to locate it. Tears had never stopped slowly falling from his eyes, but now they came in steady streams. He was sure he had killed her and his thoughts provided no relief. I can’t fight this fight without her. Have I condemned both worlds?
He slowly lifted her and walked back to where he had made the bed. Compassionately, he laid her on top of the bed and took the one of last two blankets and covered her with it. She looked as if she was peacefully sleeping, except for the still bleeding marks on her neck.

Gabriel quickly gathered the rest of there things and returned to the rock shelter. He placed their only pillow under her head and tenderly brushed her hair from her face. Her face was the most relaxed he had ever seen it and he couldn’t help but notice how beautiful she looked. I remember prom night; she was so beautiful then too. That seems like forever ago. I can’t believe I did this to her.

Her normally creamy colored skin was almost paper white. Remembering her bleeding neck, Gabriel quickly moved a large rock in front of the only entrance. Now he only had to worry about an attack from above.

Then he started a fire close to the make-sift bed and warmed some water over the flames. Tearing a piece off the last blanket, Gabriel soaked one end of the strip in the warm water. He moved back to her side and used the damp end of the cloth to clean the wound. He then raped the rest of the piece of blanket around her neck, tying it into a lose bandage.

Now that he had secured her to the best of his ability, he had to get a better view of the skies and surrounding areas. Blood had been shed and there was no doubt that the sent had carried through the air.

With one last glance at her, Gabriel quickly grabbed the blanket with the strip missing and his weapon. Using the blanket he tied the weapon to his back, allowing for a nimble climb up the sounding enclosure.

Once at the top he stood facing east, watching the moon rise higher into the sky. The slivery light fell on his face eliminating the tear streaks.

He could only hope that soon she would be ok. If she died because of him, he knew it was only a matter of time until he tore himself apart. Mentally and physically.
