Gabriel came to a running stop in a forest clearing close to my house. After Gabriel had placed me down on the grass, he carefully folded in his wings. I had just enough time to smooth out my hair, before I felt wind on my face; the tree green combine into a mass of dim brown. Suddenly I was standing outside my front door and Gabriel standing on my left.
‘What did you do that for?’ I asked exasperated, trying to comb out the knots out of my hair with my fingers.
‘Well, I would look a bit weird if a giant human bird flew from the sky outside your house,’ he said sarcastically.
‘I thought you agreed to ask me next time you decide to run super fast,’ I hissed firmly, folding my arms across my chest.
‘I don’t like waiting,’ he shrugged smiling at me joyfully. After finding that right key, I opened the front door. The familiar creaking of the door greeted me as I swung the door open. Luckily the lights were not on, as that would have indicated that Dad was home. He had strictly told me that night before that I was to be home before it was dark; I had clearly violated his rules. After turning on the main light by the front door, I turned around to see if Gabriel was behind me. A faint breeze fluttered in though the open door with it was a peculiar scent, it was bitter almost resembling vinegar. I saw Gabriel out of the corner of my eye stiffen, his eyes becoming a dark blue. I spun around to face him; his eyes were fixed on the sky.
‘What is it?’ I asked concerned, standing behind him.
‘Venator!’ He hissed though gritted teeth.
I all happened to fast, my eyes darted from left to right trying to figure out what was happening, I started to fell dizzy.
Suddenly every thing went black.
I was in a black room, or I think it was. Everything was covered in black; the only thing I could hear was a weak voice repeating my name over and over again.
The voice grew louder, and then I realized I was Gabriel voice.
‘Emily, Emily,’ he called frantically.
The black was fading, I saw a blurry outline of a face; and then it all came into view.
I was lying on the couch in the sitting room and Gabriel was sitting at the end of the couch, his forehead crumpled up in concern.
‘What happened,’ I muttered trying to sit up. Then realizing that was a bad idea, I lay back down.
‘You fainted,’ he said stroking my hair off my face.
‘What was that smell?’ I asked crinkling my nose up.
‘There wasn’t one.’
‘Yeah, it smelt like vinegar.’
I sat up slightly, so I was propped on my elbow.
‘Are you ok?’ he asked with worried eyes.
‘Yeah, I’m fine,’ I said bluntly sitting up next to Gabriel.
