Graveyard Dreams and Kisses

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Gabriel had given Soda directions and told him exactly where to go. That night around 10 when it was dark and no one else was on the road Soda met Gabriel at the edge of this old church. A large graveyard sprawled out behind. It was a strange place for a tentative first date but Gabriel had promised it’d be good. When Sodapop showed up Gabe smiled a little bit …. –

There you are … I was starting to think you’d changed your mind …

-Gabe took a hit from his cigarette and motioned for Soda to follow him … -

I hope you ain’t weirded out by graveyards but I figure if I spook a vampire … well that’s something right …

-Gabe smiled and pulled out a joint … -

You smoke?

-He cocked his head to the side before moving on forward. He had a strange little book in the crook of his arm and not much else. He light a couple of candles along the way before dropping down on the ground leaning against an old angel statue … -

I kinda brought you here for a reason. Not just cause I like to play in graveyards … tho I did as a kid … see I always thought all the voices I heard were like imaginary friends … you know how kids are … well it kinda turns out they weren’t imaginary so much as dead …

-He tapped a near by graveside with the edge of his foot … -

That’s John May … see what it says on the graveside … suicide … well that ain’t true at all … turns out his oldest son helped him along to death … see the old man was kinda crazy … didn’t keep any money in the bank … just buried somewhere … well the son wanted the money … but he never found out … I did tho … he told me if I’d help him … and I did …

-He smiled a bit leaning back … -

That’s why I didn’t really freak out when I found out about you and Possum and Joe and shit … I always knew there was weird stuff out there … I mean I didn’t know what … but it wasn’t a surprise … some of the dead kinda help me out if I do stuff for them … but I’m learning to make them do what I want either way …

~Soda had showed up at the graveyard that easy grace falling off him as he laughed at the boy.~

Yeah that would be something....

~They walked and he took the joint, inhaling on the spliff. He sighed a bit cause he could taste Gabriel on it and fuck knows he just wanted to have the boy. But he remained slightly aloof, just out of reach. He followed the boy though, listening to him talk. He dropped down on the ground as well and looked over to the headstone. His brow cocked and then he looked back at Gabriel.~

Ya know.... If I weren't what I am, I'd think you were fucking insane...

~He grinned a little bit. Then he pushed up and moved in closer to the boy. He leaned back onto the angel and was against the boy, his arm against Gabriel's.~

So... how can I trust that you're not just fucking with me?

~He grinned a little but then those golden eyes were staring at the boy and Soda knew he was getting lost in Gabriel a bit. The smile faltered and he felt a chill roll through him. He shivered and then he leaned in to Gabriel, taking in the boys scent. He sighed a little bit and then pulled back.~

Jesus... you smell so fucking good, Gabriel...

~He pulled back just a bit and those golden eyes were blazing. He looked like a man starving for something and that something was Gabriel. He licked his lips and then he reached out and tugged Gabriel into him, letting his lips dust the corner of Gabriel's lips. He pulled back and then he just shook his head. The sound he made was something between a sigh, a growl and a moan. This was not at all easy for Soda and being so close to Gabriel made him think bad bad bad thoughts.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Gabriel smirked as Soda laughed. He had to admit no matter how strong his own willpower was staring at Soda was like looking at something he shouldn’t. He was fucking gorgeous and the way he moved. Gabriel recognized the predator inside of the boy and felt himself attracted like bees to honey. He wasn’t a natural predator like Soda but there was something equally dark and predatory about this boy. Humans were after all some of the best predators around … -

Well just cause I ain’t shitting you about this don’t mean I’m not insane … according to several fine shrinks I have trouble with empathy and obeying authority …

-He laughed a little bit taking the joint back as he took a hit. His lips parted about to answer but than Soda was in close and he was leaning into inhaling. Gabe forced himself to stay still. His eyes shut for a moment and he seemed to almost be waiting for Soda to bite him before Soda just murmured those soft words … -

You do too …

-He swallowed a bit and than he was tugged in closer. Gabe’s one good arm rose and reached out brushing his fingers through Soda’s hair feeling his heart speeding up to about a mile a minute. He turned his head faintly wanting to claim Soda’s lips in some insane kiss but than the vampire had pulled back and made that soft noise like he was losing his mind. Gabriel shook his head a bit letting out a soft gasp. The almost kiss was like electricity. He shivered and pulled back … -

I-I’ll prove to you I ain’t fucking with you …

-He sighed a bit leaning back smiling … -

Jack … pick up that flower vase … bring it to me … now …

-He growled the last word a bit and Soda had something else to focus on. He watched the pot of flowers lift up by magic and move slowly towards them. Gabe reached out smirking and picking it up placing it on the ground. He plucked out a rose and sniffing the soft red petals holding one out to Soda … -

Most of them I can only hear them but slowly I’ve begun to see them again too … especially since I met you guys … it’s like … the more I just believe … the more I can see them … and sometimes … it’s like I can see the world through their eyes and it’s all torn up and shit … all ugly … like I can see a brand new shiny BMW one minute … and than I focus and it’s all bullet ridden and rusted out and shit …

-He smiled taking a hit from the cigarette … -

I think there ain’t no heaven or hell Soda … I think this world … this is just fucking it … you die and become a ghost … or like you … you live forever … I’d prefer your way really … there good or evil … just this …

-He stared across at Soda and in those pale blue electric eyes was an intensity that Soda could feel himself drawing him in closer. Maybe this boy was insane but he was like a drug slowly hooking Soda to him. He leaned in only a fraction but kept that distance … -

I don’t want to lose you … I know that sounds maybe insane … but I don’t … it’s like … I found you … and Possum … and even the others who I know hate my guts … and I feel at home … I’ve felt so fucking alone in this shitty town … for a while I thought I was crazy … and now I know I’m not … you don’t know how good that feels …

-He sighed a bit staring down and than he reached out his hand and just barely touched Soda’s … -

You’re so cold to the touch … like marble …

[Synistergrrl]

~Soda was thankful that Gabriel pulled his attention to something else. Luckily the boy was smart enough to take Soda's attention off what might happen if he got to close to this boy. So he looked up at the flower pot and as it rose, the vampire's eyes grew wide. He just blinked and smirked.~

You know how long it's been since I've been shocked?

~And he honestly seemed just a little shocked and awed, but happy about it. He took the rose from Gabriel and twirled it between his fingers. He glanced over to Gabriel as he spoke about seeing their world and then his view on heaven and hell.~

Oh, see... maybe what you are seeing is limbo...ya know.. purgatory... I honestly believe there's a heaven and hell. I just know there is... and me and Pony and Darry, we cheated death... and trust me, there's a special place in hell for us... cause we CAN die, Gabriel... and some day, someone's gonna snuff us out just like we did Ace, like he did to Snare, Lucky, Johnny and Dally.

~He'd never much talked about the rest of the gang to Gabriel, he'd not really felt any need. But something about being here, out in this dark quiet place made him think of them. Running a hand through that dark hair, he sighed.~

You don't wanna be like us Gabriel. It's not what you think it is. It's not how the movies make us... and we aren't some perfect creatures. It's... the first year or so is bloody. You become a murderer and not because you HAVE to but because you WANT to. Every human, every one of them smells so good that you can't stop yourself. I can't tell you how it weighs on you, starts to kill you some.

~He sighed and then looked at Gabriel's hand touching his. His lips curled into a half smile and he picked up Gabriel's hand, flipping it over in his so his palm was facing up. Soda's other hand played across the warm palm and then down to Gabriel's wrist, fingers stopping just above the pulse which he found with expert ease.~

And you are soft and warm, perfect actually....

~He'd been staring at Gabriel's hand when he said that, but those last words had him looking up at the boy. He gave a soft smile and then leaned in, letting his lips dust Gabriel's wrist in a soft kiss.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

A while I bet gramps …

-Gabriel smirked teasing. He liked that could shock Soda a bit. He knew it was just the beginning of what he could do. He was learning more. Exerting his will over something else, someone else, was hard but he knew eventually he’d get good but he needed time. More fucking time and every day a bit of his life was getting snuffed out. Who knew how long he had … -

You? Pony? In hell … fuck no … look at you Soda … you think you cheated death … I think maybe you just something better than human … what if you’re just the next time in evolution … what if I am … being able to hear and see the dead … why should I believe that’s wrong … that’s devil’s work or some bullshit …

-He shook his head bringing the cigarette to his lips … -

Baby … you’re just feeling bad cause you think what you killed was as special as you … but it ain’t … for as long as you’ve lived … haven’t you seen how fucking pointless most people are … they’re born … they live … they get married … they pop out some brats … they go to work … they watch Maury and they die …

-He snapped his fingers … -

Like that … they die … I feel no more bad for them dying than I do stepping on a cockroach …

-He shook his head sighing … -

I do want to be like you Soda … I knew I wanted it that night when I saw you fight Ace … maybe you can die … but what you are … it ain’t wrong … it ain’t evil … you’re more like gods walking the earth … why shouldn’t I wanna be like you …

-He felt his breath hitch as Soda took his hand. He watched easily and his eyes shut as those lips played across his vein. He knew that Soda could turn him but he also knew the boy could bite him and kill him … drain him dry … he had to be careful how far he pushed things … he stared into those golden eyes feeling himself drawn in … -

I wanna be like you … I wanna be with you … and one day I will be …

[Synistergrrl]

~Gabriel's voice held a certain lulling quality to Soda. He sighed as he pulled back from the boys wrist, looking up into those blue eyes. He could feel the boys heart beating quicker and it sent a shiver along him.~

You don't know what you're saying, Gabriel. We aren't Gods, we are more like monsters then anything else. I wish you could see or understand that.

~Soda's sigh moved across Gabriel's skin as he leaned into the boy again. Shaking his head, he just leaned back some, turning Gabriel's hand and entwining his fingers in with the boys. He leaned back on the angel and stared up at the sky.~

I used to think like you, or tried to. I never really honestly believed that all people were useless. But I guess I thought that it's not my place to judge them. Ya know what I mean? Cause if I judge them, deem them not worthy of living, then one day someone's gonna judge me for the same. I watched it happen to too many of my friends, Gabe.

~Soda shook his head. All those faces rolled through his brain of the people close to him, stopping on Snare. He looked away for a minute and then shook his head to look at Gabe.~

So... how did you learn that they weren't just imaginary friends? I mean... when did they out themselves as Ghosts? Oh... and you realize there being ghosts blows a wide hole in your theory that there is no heaven or hell. Cause if there wasn't, then what are they doing lingering around?

~He gave a smirk, though he knew that any moment Gabriel was going to send missles all through his idea but he wasn't so sure he cared. He liked the boy and he liked that he contradicted him whenever he got the chance, debating with him over such weird things.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

Monsters or Gods ... same thing ...

-Gabriel smirked a little bit. He smiled that Soda hadn't just told him he was out of his fucking mind and left. He sat there talking and every time Soda touched him Gabe made the effort not to move in closer and claim some rough kiss. He just knew it'd be a bit much and he could lose his own life. It was the thrill of that which made him sigh. He stared at Soda with a bit of awe but unlike Pony he wasn't a puppy that would follow him around ... -

I never held hands with a vampire ...

-Gabriel smiled and than laughed a bit teasing. He smirked a bit and than slowly he lifted Soda's hand a bit closer and allowed his own lips to graze across his knuckles. His hand felt like marble. His skin cold and hard like stone. It was like kissing stone. He didn't care. He looked up as he layed those soft hot kisses on Soda's cool skin. This might be as close as he got to kissing Soda's lips but it was nice to just make the vampire shiver a bit ...-

Oh well I think I always knew as a kid ya know ... they weren't imaginary ... but after that it was around when I was about 10 ...

-Gabe sighed a bit ... -

I had one of them come and ask for help for ya know ... this old woman ... wanting me to help her ... fuck when they realize you can hear them ... she wouldn't shut up ... every night come screaming and crying ... and she told me her name ... and it was in the obituaries ... like she'd died a week before ... all the stuff she said checked out ... stuff I shouldn't know ...

-He frowned and shook his head pulling back as he stared off ... -

I ran and told my parents ... all scared ... they locked me up in a nut house and drugged me so bad I didn't know up or down ... after six monthes they said I was cured ... as long as I kept taking my pills ...

-He sighed a bit bringing the cigarette to his lips ... -

Assylum was worst place I've ever been in my whole life. It was hell. I heard the others screaming in the night ... non stop ... this screams like they were being tortured ... and the doctors didn't give a shit ... none of them believed anything you said ... I tried to run a few times ... commit suicide once .. they stopped me and strapped me down to the bed ... after that I just learned to pretend and play their game ...

-He smiled a bit but it was dark ... -

So tell me again why I shouldn't judge them .. when they judged me ...

-He let out a soft cleaning sigh trying to forget about the past ... -

So tell me ... what was it like when you were a kid huh ... where did you grow up?

[Synistergrrl]

~Soda was watching the boy kiss along his hand. He was kinda glad they changed the subject, putting it back on Gabriel but the boy started telling him this horror story and he frowned a little bit. Staring at the boy, he cocked his head some.~

I'm sorry, Gabe... I....

~He stuttered a bit because he simply didn't have an answer to that. He'd seen so many boys, like Snare and Dally get hard because of the life they'd had, bad lives where people beat them and worse just cause they could. He never had a real answer for Snare when he asked that same question and it was hard for Soda. He shook his head then, deciding it was just better to talk about where he came from.~

I know how that feels though. I mean to hate people for that kind of treatment. We grew up in the late 50's early 60's. We were all poor kids, ya know... from the wrong side of the tracks, greasers, hoods, JD's. The rich kids were always on us, starting shit, cruising our neighborhood to take us down. They got Pony one time pretty good. I'd have killed the guy that tried to cut him, left him a scar under his chin. And if it weren't them, then it was our own folks beaten on us. I guess I was kinda lucky, cause my Dad was alright, ya know. He was like us, greaser and all, but he was a cowboy, rode in rodeo's and stuff. And My mom was real pretty and sweet, always cooking for the boys and stuff. My dad died in a bar fight in Texas. We were in Kansas, growing up and my dad, ya know, he traveled alot, for the rodeo. My mom... she never was the same after that, fell into the bottle and well... it was bad after that, lots of different guys in and out, none as good as my dad was too her.

~He shrugged then, falling into a dreamier tone as he fell into the memory.~

I'd been with the boys since I was a little kid. Me and Snare where always with Two Bit and Dally and they were always with Lucky and Darry.... Pony was just Lucky's little brother and he'd tag along, follow us everywhere. But ya know, he's smart and shit... so it was alright. Snare used to get all pissed off cause I'd go to the movies with Pony and stuff. Lucky and the others thought I was just being cool, ya know keepin an eye on him and shit, specially after he got jumped. But... it was cause I could go to the movie with him and he'd be real quiet and watch the whole thing without talking and by the end, he could tell me what was really going on, like all the behind the scene shit that I was too stupid to pick up on at the time.

~Those golden amber eyes were a bit distant now.~

Then Ace showed up. He met Lucky and Darry first. It was odd, he was this big ole Hood ya know... tough... I mean real tough. Like he was a fucking mean damn snake but he pulled Lucky out of a fight and we dug that. Ya know, he was intimidating, but when he was hanging out with us, he seemed alright. Course that's how he lured us in. Hell, he was even nice to Pony in the beginning. He bit Lucky first, and then the same night he bit Darry. Dally and Snare were next, then me and Two Bit and then Pony. Pony was the last... and probably the hardest for me to watch. He never was mean like the others, ya know, tough like us. I mean... he's tuff, he's... fuck I don't know... I'm ramblein

~He stopped and then looked over at Gabe with a smirk.~

Sorry....

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Gabriel leaned back smoking the joint and listening quietly with a faint smile on his face. He liked to listen to Soda talk. It soothed the darkest part of him the way Pony had always managed to sooth Soda. The vampire was stunning and half the time Gabriel was just caught in how fucking perfect he was. In how fucking perfect all of them were. Strong and fast. Everything Gabe wanted to be and everything he one day would be. He knew it. Just felt it in his bones … -

I guess not a lot has changed huh …

-He smiled a bit and shrugged … -

I guess my own folks are alright. Boring as shit and I hate them for putting me in that place but I know I always scared them. I think that’s why they never had another kid …

-He laughed a bit as he light up another cigarette .,. –

I can’t blame them. I’ve been terrible from the beginning. Scared every fucking babysitter I ever had and almost burned the house down … twice … I dunno what I would have done to have bad parents … like Kit has … Possum told me he gets the shit beat out of him by his old man … I think I’d have gone fucking crazy by now and stabbed the asshole …

-He shrugged a bit and sighed but he smiled slowly … -

Pony … he means a lot to you huh. I see how you look at him and you talk a lot about him. I’m not jealous … I’m real close to Possum … just as long as you still make time for me ya know … it’s cool …

-He smirked and leaned in a little bit … -

I know you and him kinda fighting cause of me. He doesn’t like me … I’m not sure if it’s just cause of how I am … or cause I’m taking you away from him … or just cause I’m human and he’s scared to death you’re gonna lose control and end my little life … probably all three … can I ask you something … you and him ever ya know? I mean it’s been like 50 years … you must have gotten bored one night or something huh? Should I be jealous maybe?

-His brow arched wondering just how close Pony and Soda really were. Had they ever fucked? Were they still fucking? He doubted it. Pony had this kind of innocent thing going on but either way. Gabe had meant it. He wasn’t the jealous type. Not yet anyway. He didn’t mind watching Possum kissing up on Pony. Right now his focus was on something else. Soda mostly and something bigger than Soda. He smirked a bit after Soda answered … -

[Synistergrrl]

~Soda was listening and his head cocked as a frown rippled over his lips.~

yeah? Kit huh... Ya know, it's weird cause like... He looks soooo much like Johnny. This guy that used to be in our gang. He and Pony were real close. It's freaky how much Kit looks like him, even acts like him a little bit. The only difference is Johnny always looked a bit like a scared rabbit, Kit doesn't look like that. Johnny used to get beat by his father too... just weird.

~He shrugged a little bit but then he cocked his head as the boy started talking abut Pony. He flickered a gaze about ready to say something about what Pony meant, but then Gabriel asked that next question and Soda looked right at Gabriel and he just blinked and then began to laugh.~

What? NO... no.... Me and Pony.... I... We're friends... I was with Snare for a long time. And when he died, I don't know. it was hard on me. Took me along time to consider being with anyone else. I don't know how Pony would feel about me coming on to him. I mean... I know he obviously digs boys. I don't know.

~He shrugged a bit. But it bothered him a little bit. He knew that Gabriel was hitting a nerve with this, but Gabe didn't know it. Just suggesting it gave him images of being tangled up with Pony. And it wasn't that the thought hadn't crossed his mind once or twice. Hell those nights right after Snare had died and Pony had climbed into bed with him. He'd almost taken the boy right then and there, but had stopped himself. Mainly because he knew that it was wrong. It was wrong to use Pony like that cause he was hurting. And now, well, he was taking things slow with Pony, maybe to slow, but he kinda needed to test things out, dip his toes in first, so to speak.~

Pony's my best friend. He... he's helped me through so much, I'd have lost my mind along time ago without him at my side. Darry is like a big brother, ya know... but Pony... he is like something else all together. More then brother or friend... I don't know. I guess I admire him for being able to maintain that dreamy quality that he's got.... I kinda wish I still had that innocence.

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Gabriel knew he’d hit a nerve and he’d asked the question for just that reason. It was obvious to him and he knew obvious to Possum that between Soda and Pony there was something special, something deeper than either vampire let on, he knew it was the reason Possum was a bit tense around Soda and the reason Soda was tense with Possum and the reason Pony hated his fucking guts. He smiled and bit and reached out letting his fingers play across Soda’s hand … -

I prefer you less innocent …

-He smirked but than his brow arched about Kit … -

Really? That is kinda fucking weird … maybe it was his ghost and shit … found a new body …

-He laughed a little bit but he wasn’t exactly joking. Ghosts talked and well Gabe was not about to be stupid enough to believe anything was impossible anymore. His best friend was a were-coyote. He wanted to fuck a vampire. He could see dead people. Impossible meant nothing anymore. He layed back a bit taking a hit from the smoke relaxing faintly … -

See … tonight was fun … you worry too much … Possum calls me Angel … just what I am … a little angel …

-He grinned falling back a bit on the dirt staring up at the stars. His shirt pushed up a little bit revealing the smooth planes of his stomach and hipbones. He seemed to just be laying there on a platter waiting for Soda to feast upon him. Gabriel sighed content bringing the cigarette to his lips and blowing out a few rings … -

So should we head back? I don't wanna keep you past your bedtime ...

-Gabe smirked and teased but he was still looking up at the stars as he spoke. He liked the night and he liked being out here with just Soda relaxing. It felt right somehow ... like this was where he belonged ... -

[Synistergrrl]

Oh... I know Possum calls you an Angel, but you are no sweet innocent thing, that's for sure.

~He smirked.~

I watched this movie once, about like angels' and how they were fighting for mankind's soul for the Devil and God... and one angel, he said somethin like... All angel's wings are dipped in the blood they've spilt for God. Cause Angel's have no souls, they are different from us and have no real care about killin.... hmmm maybe you are an Angel.

~He grinned then, the laugh falling easily from his lips. He dropped down next to Gabriel and stared up at the sky as well.~

We don't gotta go yet... not yet....

~He spoke the last part softly. Maybe it was the weed they'd smoked, but Soda was feeling a bit braver then he had in a long time. He pushed up then, holding himself up with his elbow. He leaned in, brushing back that dark hair from Gabriel's eyes. He was staring into the boys eyes as if he could decipher time and the future. Then slowly he leaned down and kissed the boy. It was soft at first, tentative, as if testing the waters. He was being careful because fuck knows that it wasn't good to push this, but he also knew it was something he wanted very very badly.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-The smile on Gabriel’s lips grew a little bit and he let out a content sigh at that little story. His eyes were shut for a moment he knew he liked the sound of that. Maybe something was wrong with him. He’d always felt this hole in his heart and he knew that the little part of him that was humane was tethered on but a thin rope. He just didn’t feel nothing at the death of others. Maybe it was cause he’d always talked to the dead. Or maybe something was wrong with him. He thought about it for a moment … -

See … I am an Angel …

-He smirked and than those pale eyes flashed open staring up. He watched Soda suddenly move a bit over him and he felt his heart beat a little faster. It was anticipation though not fear. He sighed forcing himself to stay perfectly still and than Soda was leaning in and Gabriel felt his heart stop. The kiss was like fire tearing down his spine like nails. He felt his breath hitch and than slowly his arms wrapped around Soda despite himself tugging the boy in closer. He couldn’t help it. Maybe the kiss was hard for Soda but that fusion of lips was like hitting Gabriel with a shovel. He knew he pushed it and no doubt Soda would pull back and when he did Gabriel sucked in a breath panting like he’d been drowning … -

Jesus …

-He sighed pushing up sitting up and still panting … he sighed his eyes a bit unclear … unable to focus … -

I-I’m sorry … I didn’t mean … the kiss … whoa …

-He hadn’t meant to tug Soda in closer or make the kiss so rough. But being kissed by a vampire wasn’t like being kissed by a human. It was like kissing the sun. He sighed a bit and smile feeling his heart racing so far it would jump out of his throat. Now that was worth waiting for. He just hoped Soda wasn’t gonna run from him now. He smiled a bit staring across at Soda pop … -

[Synistergrrl]

~The kiss was hard for Soda, so much so that he had pushed Gabriel off, not roughly, but firmly. He sat there, stone like, still as a statue. It was like looking at one of the marble figures around the graveyard. And it seemed like forever before he moved again, though it wasn't really. He heard Gabriel, but he didn't' respond, not right away. And then he was moving again, animated, it was weird to watch.~

It's okay, Gabe.... You...

~he sighed then, not out of frustration but more out of want.~

You just need to take things really slow with me. Slower then you ever had before.

~A shiver rolled through Soda. He'd had to be so still to keep himself from tearing into the boy. It was one of the hardest things he's physically ever had to do. He knew he couldn't tell Pony about it cause the boy would freak out, or Darry who'd probably punch him for it. But honestly, Soda was kinda pleased with himself. Licking his lips, he pushed up off the ground and then held out his hand to Gabe to take. When he did, he pulled the boy up and then let his arm drape around Gabe's shoulders. It was like now that Soda proved himself a bit, made sure he could control himself if he wanted, then, well he could be closer to Gabe, touch him more and things would be alright. He tugged Gabe along, a smirk teasing over his lips.~

I think that went better then either of us thought... maybe you can be good, when you try REALLY hard....

~He was teasing Gabriel, giving the boy a hard time. But it was obvious that Soda was happy and that he wasn't going to be leaving anytime in the near future if he had anything to say about it.~

[LittleDeadGrrl]

-Gabriel watched with amazement as Soda froze. He smiled a little bit watching as Soda came alive and spoke and than he spoke those last words and Gabriel laughed a little bit shaking off the feeling …. –

You know … it’s like pushing me off a cliff and telling me to fall slower … not exactly under my command … I dunno if you ever kissed a vampire as a human but it’s well … I dunno … that was … best drug ever …

-He smirked a little bit and Soda could tell Gabriel wasn’t bullshiting him or just flattering him. He seemed a bit stunned. When the vampire held out his hand he took it and stood up and than Soda had an arm around him. He waited for Soda to pull back but than he didn’t and Gabriel relaxed a bit. He stared up and Soda and laughed a little bit … -

What you mean I’m still alive …

-Gabriel smirked lighting up a cigarette … -

Yeah I’m pleased about that too … well … for a while anyway ….

-His eyes sparkled as he said that and Soda knew what he meant. He knew that Gabe wanted to be like him. He stopped suddenly and pulled back moving back to the graveside picking up his book. He brought it back. It was an old leather bound thing and had Gabriel’s writing all inside … -

I’m working on a new spell ya know … all my notes are in there … right now all I could do was bind some little spirit I thing … I think I can maybe get something bigger … bigger spirit … or something that can do more … ghosts can do all sorts of stuff apparently … like apart from moving shit … some can even kill … or take over people … I dunno … weird shit …

-Gabriel smiled a bit chattering on easily … -
