do?”
“You are going to go sit down and I’ll get you some tea to wake you up.”
He nodded sleepily and wandered down into his library. As I made my way to the kitchen I picked up the house’s phone and called the one person in the entire immortal universe that could help me.
“Rose?”
“I’m in big trouble Levi.”
“Talk to me Rose.”
I told him everything, everything that I knew anyway.
He didn’t hesitate in his action. Within ten minutes he was on his way over after instructing me to pack an overnight bag. He was going to bring Clarence with him so as Gabriel wouldn’t be left defenceless if anyone else tried to get in, considering the culprit still had a copy of Gabriel’s keys if my theory was right, he needed her.
I was reluctant to tell Gabriel what was going on, but with only ten minutes before the problem arrived and took me away I had to tell him.
“Gabriel,” I said softly, handing him his cup of tea, “I have to tell you something.”
He yawned and nodded for me to continue.
“Levi is on his way, he’s bringing Clarence so that you won’t be on your own. Okay?”
“Where will you go?”
I smiled and took his hand in mine, hoping that in his drowsy state he would react calmly. “I’m going to stay with Levi.”
The effects of the chloroform wore off instantly and he shouted, “No, Victoria, I won’t stand for it!”
I shook my head and sighed. I walked to the door, and said quietly, “I have no choice; I’m not safe here anymore. You should probably leave too. George has plenty of spare rooms; I’ll call him for you tomorrow. Now are you going to sit there like a boy who just lost his puppy or are you going to help me?”
He reluctantly followed me upstairs to my room and sat down on the end of my bed. He watched on agitated as I packed a bag with a few things to keep me through my temporary stay at Levi’s.
“I can’t believe that you’re doing this,” Gabriel said. “I will get the locks changed in the morning…”
“Gabriel, stop,” I said, fighting not to raise my voice, “I am going to Levi’s and that is that. I was here to protect you , but I can’t even look after myself. I am the biggest danger to you out of everyone. Just let me go, please.”
“But, Levi?”
I rested the case against the banister and turned to him, all of my calm rested in my eyes. “I don’t blame you for being worried and I understand why you don’t like me being so close to him,” I began, before I suddenly realised that I didn’t understand, and I never really had. Sure, Levi was arrogant, obnoxious… But he was caring, kind and had looked out for me more than I even knew at the time. “I love him,” I started, but was silenced by the furious hand that crossed my face. I didn’t stumble. I stood tall and shook myself as I brought my hand to my cheek. “Gabriel…”
Gabriel stood before me silent. Levi was stood at the foot of the stairs, looking up at us both. How long he had been stood there I didn’t know. Gabriel stood back and shook his head, anger welling up within him with a fresh douse of guilt.
Levi slowly walked up the stairs and looked from me to Gabriel. He stood before his soul creation and before I could think to move he took my creator’s wrist and with one sharp twist snapped the bone. Gabriel stumbled back and let out a yell. I fell forward and put my hand onto Levi’s arm. He looked
