Chapter 149: -2

Gabriel looked up anyway and saw how the night sky had turned slightly orange. "She's preparing. And we haven't left yet. We've gathered everyone, why--" "I'd prefer if you were not here with me." He ground his teeth together and his hands clenched into fists. "Gabriel--" He turned to Cameron with narrowed eyes. "I know we agreed to work together until we found Alexis but that agreement had expired when you planted your lips on her." Every possessive bone in his body tensed ready to fight him... For the fiftieth time in one hundred years. Cameron's lips pursed. "Look Gabriel, I'm not here to fight you. And I only kissed her because--" "Here we go. Another excuse--" "Stop interrupting me," He snapped. "It was an impulse. I didn't think, I just did." Gabriel moved a step forward to kick the shit out of him when a man came out of the house. Thankfully, Cameron was strong enough to keep the fire from going anywhere near the house earlier. But everything around it had burnt to a crisp. "Enough you two." The male said. They both turned their heads toward Axel and stepped away from each other. Leo emerged from the house with a frown. "Now, now boys." In the backyard a gust of wind whipped across their faces. Some angels walked around the house to meet Axel and Leo and some landed on the roof or in an empty space in the snow. There were at least eighty angels gathering in the forest or landing close by. All of them dressed in either human clothes or in the White rips of the Angelic World. Three Archangels dressed in White drabs came last. Their almost golden wings flapped and came to an abrupt stop as they landed in the middle of everyone. Brooke, Ezekiel and Aira. Their red hair making them stand out among the crowd of blondes and white hairs. Gabriel, Maryanne and Joseph being the only dark haired angels there. The family came out of the house and greeted them warmly. But Gabriel was still following Alexis' large amount of power. Any angel or demon around this world would be able to locate her power. Cameron was following it too. Gabriel could see it in his mind. "Cameron and Gabriel," Brooke called. They both turned from their spot and walked to her. Gabriel bowed briefly while Cameron took her hand and squeezed. "It's been a while," He said. "Too long it seems. And the wrong circumstances have brought us together. It's a shame really." "It is." Cam agreed. Brooke turned her heavy gaze onto Gabriel and he just knew something was wrong. He just knew. "The Elders--" "Are not happy with me. When are they ever?" He said. "What did they say?" "Don't interfere. Now that Lonny's mind has gone blank, she wouldn't care if she killed you or anyone that tries to stop her. She'd kill her own mother if she crossed her path." "What if she makes the wrong choice?" He pleaded. "I can reason with her." "Not in this form." Brooke said as she took his hands. "If she chooses wrong, we'll deal with the consequences." Joseph stepped forward. "The consequences would result to hell on earth. She'll destroy what keeps our world and their world separate. She'll kill every human in existence. I cannot see beyond this point and I haven't been getting anything since yesterday. I'm as blind as everyone else." Brooke and Aira looked at each other. "We can not do anything about that." Aira spoke. She pushed off the ground to hover above everyone. "The only thing we can do is take things as we go." Her voice came out thick and strong. "Demons are gathering not far from here. They sense Lonny like we do and are waiting. They could get in her way for all we know. But what we do know is we have to destroy them..." Gabriel wasn't listening. He couldn't not try to speak to her. He knew she wouldn't remember a thing about him but he had to try. He had to try change her mind. "We have to leave now." Joseph yelled. "Look at the sky." Every angel looked above and sighed. The stars shone brighter than before, the moon closer, the colour of the sky was now a light purple, pink and orange. She was readying herself. The Archangel's flew off first. Everyone flew off or started running through the burnt down forest. However Cameron and Gabriel stayed behind. Gabriel watched Cameron as he did the same. "You understand I will be doing whatever I can to stop this," Gabriel said. Cameron shrugged a shoulder as if that statement didn't matter. "I understand." "You won't get in my way." Gabriel stated. "Or I'll kill you." "I'm sure Lonny wouldn't appreciate that." "Alexis," Gabriel said with emphasis. "They're the same person." Gabriel stared at him with narrowed eyes a moment then came to realization. "You’re the man that said Alexis and Lonny are the same person." Cam frowned. "They are." "Yes, they are. But what name would you rather say? What feels right?" Cameron looked at the sky and said, "Although I said they are the same person, I didn't know Alexis. I may say that name out of courtesy but only because I knew it was right at that time. Now that she's in her true form doesn't it feel right to call her Lonny?" Gabriel stared at Cameron. And for the first time he really saw him. He saw the love in his eyes for the same woman. Gabriel saw the way he longed for her the same way he did. Gabriel sighed. "I'm not sure." Cam glanced at him and back at the sky. "We should go. We haven't much time. The air is charged and I don't like it." Cameron kept his white t-shirt on as he unfurled his wings from his back and pushed off the ground. Gabriel followed him, his thoughts filled with what he'd do when he got there. He was worried about what he'd see. What she'll look like. What'd she'd be like. He hoped she wasn't gone. He hoped she was still inside that new form of hers. ** "What are we doing?" Jayden asked Bonnie. "Alexis told me to stay away."
