Jack grunted, accepting her apology, glared at Lora once more and stalked off. He wouldn't be a coward. someone needed to step up and protect the Clan. Where was he going? Their chambers to think.

Lora watched Jack stalk off, and felt her anger some to a point. Turning to the wall, she hit it with an open hand and screamed, her anger making her face flush crimson momentarily. "damnit!" She let her arm go limp and turned, hitting her back on the wall and sliding down to the floor, feeling asif an incredible weight lay on her shoulders.
Why did he want to protect a clan of traitors anyway? Since before she'd been born the clan had always been watch-your back and care about no-one but those close to you. And seeing him ready to protect tehm all amde ehr both angry and proud. But if he died because of war-- where was the nobility in that? Dying for a cause not of your own for a bunch who could careless? She lifted a hand and rubbed the back of her neck, obviouslt a bit too hard as her nails made think scratched on it's back. "damnit." She whispered, pulling her hand away and down onto teh floor while she breathed, tears glazing ehr eyes. "damnit!" sHe cried into the hall, knowing just how real the possibilities of losing him were.
Keila blinked at Jack and looked over at Lora, who was having an er-- rather, angry moment and dropped to her knees, murmuring soothingly to ehr friend. "Lora, shush up it's alright dear." She sighed softly and patted her knee before looking at ehr bloodied finger-nails. "You shouldn't hurt yourself...."
Lora shot her a warning look.

/O/ut /O/f /C/ontrol:// Trix suggested that I throw Gabriel on here last night, but I never got around to it until now. Why is a fallen angel in the cave, you ask? He lives there with Keila.
...:/B/ringing /I/n /C/omments:... Stiffly, the ocean-hued hairs on the man's neck stood. His eyes followed Keila carefully, yet his ears were still attached to the conversation. Taking a deep breath he began to take a step back. The masculine hadn't met any of Keila's "friends" or anyone else from the vampire clan. The name, was Gabriel Ronaiu Narcissus. Gabriel or Gabby for short. He was no stranger to hiding. Gabriel had to do that a lot these days. He killed Keith's parents and little sister, he murdered Michale's mother and his much younger brother Kael. He bit his lower lip, remembering a few of his bloody encounters. His wings were hidden leaving the holes in the back of his coat as they turned into so-called "tattoos" printed on either side of his spine. Gabriel looked behind him, slightly paranoid of course. The male was lost after wandering about the cave. He made no move towards the group, yet felt himself being drawn towards Keila. He shrugged to himself. Gabriel knew something else that Keila didn't know. It wasn't his murderings and the reason why many fear or want to attack him. It was something else...

((I seriously put myself in a deep hole and can't get out. What the hell am I supposed to write? He just....left....? What am I? Retarded? *sigh* He shall be fickle and come back...))
There was a curse in the hallway and Jack came back, his hair ruffled. He was in his vampure form now, clearly pissed off. He bent down to Lora and kissed her passionatly before pulling away and sighing. "Listen, there is something i can do..." he mused. "I can get us deep into the caves away from the war. I will stay for our children's birth but I will continue my spy missions, ok?" he asked her, quirking an eyebrow.

The aqua-haired male took a step foreward and slowly made his way to Keila's side. "Hey..." he greeted her softly. Gabriel's eyes were focused on the other pair, and was trying his best to stay out of their way. He trusted no one here. He lifted a hand to rub his neck uncomfortably. After a minute of staring in fear, he looked at the floor, his hand still rubbing his neck nervously. He feared nothing more than a vampire that he knew nothing of. Sure, Keith's family was okay and they were simple to slaughter, but this....This was a different story. Gabriel still hadn't mentioned about his little 'killing addiction' and to make things worse...Gabriel held another secret that only Keila will find out soon enough. He looked up at Jack and Lora, yet said nothing as he held his hands behind his back.

Lora blinked at Jack, her brows raised and listened to his words. She mauled them about in her mind, and slowly nodded, deciding that, there would be a time to again press the matter-- but she would have to be wise about when. "That, alone is... comforting." She murmured into the nape of his neck. Blinking up at her love, she sighed softly and got to her feet, taking both of Jacks hands and resing her head on his shoulder as she blinked at her mid-wife, and Keila's life-mate. Smiling softly, Lora blinked at the brown haired woman, who seemed to only now be aware of the fallen angel's presence.
Keila nearly jumped when Gabriel approached, but, calmed instantly and ofeered him a warm smile. "hello love." She sighed and blinked at her angel while leaning against him, smiling happily. She was completely oblivious to his killing addictions-- and all else that could possibly flaw her lover; Honestly, in ehr eyes, Gabriel was, in closest comparison a saint. Keila blinked at Jack and Lora before sighing softly. "This Is my better half, Gabriel." She laughed softly. "Gabby, allow me to introduce to you Jack, and Lora.... I'm Lora's mid-wife."

Gabriel looked at Lora and Jack once again, this time without as much fear. He nodded her head once to the both of them; all the while keeping a straight face. "Um...." The male looked at Lora, then at Keila. He lowered his head, shifting his stance. He had to tell Keila. He had to... Gabriel looked at the ceiling, biting his lip as his hands clamped more firmly together behind him. He looked once more at Jack and Lora.

Jack kissed the top of her head and smiled, if not forced. "I hope it is." he murmered, his eyes now noticing the fallen angel. He remembered the fallen angel who had attacked him when he first got here and, instinctly, he narrowed his eye, expecting an attack. "May i ask who you are?' he asked politly as he could, still hugging Lora to him.

Lora smiled up at Jack and kissed hte under-side of his chin before looking foreward at the man who had both been introduces as, and introduced himself as Gabriel. "Pleased to meet you Gabriel." She smiled kindly before blinking at Keila, who was looking at Gabriel with admantic eyes. Quirking a brow, the red-haired woman laughed softly and shook her head before blinking at Keila's stomach and biting her lower lip. (Figureatively...) She cleared hre throat and closed her eyes before laying ehr head against Jack's shoulder again, and looked into the hallway while thiking to herself.
Keila smiled at Gabby and then at Jack, sensing the un-ease, she offered a awkwardly, almost fored laugh before blinking at Lora, who appeared to shoot a glance at ehr stomach, then look down the hallway. Keila looked down at her stomach and raised a brow before smiling at sighing softly.

Jack grunted at the angel as if to say he'd pass but not as trusted. He turned to Keila. "So, you're her nursemaid?" he asked her, quirking an eyebrow. "You'll be there for the whole thing?"

Gabriel gave Jack a supposed 'scowl'. Apparently to Gabriel this man didn't seem very friendly. "Gabriel." His response was flat, yet the wavering tones of fear still came through. Gabriel followed Lora's gaze and looked away once more. He felt guilty. He still hadn't told Keila anything about him. Some things she needed to know... Clearing his throat, he looked back to Lora and Jack once again. "Pleasure to meet your acquaintance..."

Jack nodded stiffly. "And yours." he told him. He'd defeated an angel before by becoming a werewolf and he wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Whether, Keila and her.... secret.... wanted it or not. Oh yes. He knew. Just like he knew about Lora. There was a lot to be had from his werewolf sences.

Lora smiled softly, closing her eyes and sighing. She knew that trying to convince Jack to stay behind would be a... nearly impossible task-- and she wasn't sure if she could do it. She opened her eyes and frowned momentarily before blinking back at Gabriel and Keila.
Keila nodded and sighed softly. "Through pleasent and not so pleasent times." She laughed softly and blinked at Jack, her face growing serious. "You needen't worry, I've been a mid-wife, or nursemaid many times before; and I'm sure that Lora will have no problems though I do encourage the fathers to be present during birthing..." She broke off, realizing that she was speaking-- er, alot and blinked down, embarassed.

"Yeah..." Gabriel murmured under his breath. He seemed quite unsteady now as he suddenly turned pale. "Hey....Um, Keila..." he said, rubbing the back of his neck. This was going to be difficult. She had no clue, and he was sure that the idea wouldn't have quite sinked in though the moods. He bit his lip looking at Keila's stomach from underneath his hat. He brought his hands out from behind him and drummed his fingers against eachother. "I....I need to tell you something..."

jack looked sick. "I- I have to be present?" he sounded sick. "For both of them?" he didn't know how many people knoew she was having two but she and Gabriel would know now. He looked positivly sick at the thought though.

Keila shot Jack a look that could freeze the sun. "Unless you'd rather not be present for the---What?" She raised ehr brows and blinked at them, assuming he ment two, she cleared eher throat. "Assuimng you'd rather not be there, I can assign a stand in, because I'm sorry, Lora won't be able to break my fingers in a pregnant woman death grip..." She blinked at Lora and clicked ehr tongue before shaking ehr head and turning slowly to look at Gabriel. "Yes love?" She asked, all hostility from her last comment gone. She sighed softly, waiting... It couldn't be something bad-- after all, they'd spent most of their time together since they'd met-- so she was sure it couldn't be... bad.
Lora blinked at Jack and raised ehr brows, he looked... well, sick. "Jack?" She lifted a hand and gently touched his cheek while frowning. "Are you alright?" She asked softly before raising ehr brows at Keila's comment. "Absolutely not!" The idea of having som... Stand-in there was... well, it made her feel faint and; little less than awkward.

Jack cleared his throat and shook his head. "OF course.... I'll be there..." this last part he said was rather weak and squeaky but he quickly changed back into his usual self as he heard Gabriel and looked over at them, now completly intrigued.

As he hung his head, Gabriel very quietly uttered his next sentance. The words, however, we more like a little hum than an actual sentance. "She's not the only one pregnant........." He hid his hands and brought them together behind him as he shuffled his feet. Gabriel looked at Keila with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry..." His voice cleared and grew slightly more confident.

Keila looked dumb-founded, and rather than looking over-joyed, she looked confued. "...What?" She blinked a few times, looking away from Gabriel. They handn't.... She looked at him with wide-eyes, looking repulsed. "Oh my god Gabby, you didn't! Please, tell me you didnt..." She hissed between clenched teeth, looking even more pale than usual. She put a hand over her mouth and looked at him, tears, of shock gathering in her eyes. "...No..."
Lora's eyes widened, and her brows shot up. She wanted to comfort her friend-- but at the same time, wanted to watch and see how this would play out. Holding onto one of Jack's forearms she swalloed and blinked a few times, feeling nauseated.

Gabriel kept his head bowed, looking rather ashamed. His eyes were hid under the dark navy hair. He gave a grim look. "Maybe...Sort of.............Yes." He looked up at her, one of his eyes hidden still in the sea of blue. Gabriel took a few deep breaths. He saw this coming. He knew it would happen, but what if he had never told her? Then things would be much, much worse than now. Gabriel shuddered. "I'm sorry, Keila..." He looked away, his breathing heavy. He took a step back, knowing that it was better that he should've kept a clean mind; Not filling it with corruption.

Blinking at Gabriel, Keila shook her head, tears brimming her eyes. Shifting un-easily she repressed a scream of frustration and simply looked away from him. "I need time to think." Her voice was filled with a cold finality as she turned away, muttering things beneath her breath. As she came to her and Gabriel's room, she angirly screamed. "MEN!" and slammed the door behind her, making a horibly loud echo snap back to the three remaining in the hallway.
Lora blinked at Gabriel and sighed before blinking at the ground. Keila was angry-- and what a spit-fire she was when this was the case. Blinking at Jack she frowned before looking at Gabriel and saying the only thing she could think of saying. "I have a feeling you'll be sleeping on the couch for a while..." Trying to lighten the mood-- as always.

"Well, THAT went well..." an annoyed voice came up from down the hallway. Watching from the opposite end from where Keila left, was Keith looking rather angry. "I've been looking for you." Keith growled. "Oh no..." Gabriel backed away. This was not the best time to find a long-time enemy wandering the halls. "So, you didn't admit to her that she was pregnant...what else have you not told her, I Wonder?" the male vampire snapped. "I told her everything! She just didn't listen!" Gabriel grinned, looking about for the nearest route out. "Sure! I don't think anyone knows what you do for a hobby....." Keith growled, rolling up one of his sleeves. "M-My hobby?" Gabriel frowned. This was not good. "Yeah. You slay other races for fun! I'm sure she wouldn't come easily to you if she knew that!" "B-But....I-I...." "You killed my little sister AND my parents! You've caused many familes pain, and you're not about to start here, too!" Keith shouted at Gabriel. In a flury of feathers and the swish of metal, Keith had drawn his claymore and Gabriel had spread his wings. One of Gabriel's wings was still in healing and severely wounded. All the feathers were gone and only bits of burnt flesh clung to the bone. He remembered. He was hit by lightning when Michale the Shape Shifter tried to kill him for slying his very younger brother, Kael. Gabriel gave a weak smile. "I'm sure we can set that aside..." "Not tonight..." Keith's eyes narrowed as he pointed the tip of his claymore to Gabriel's chest.

Lora moved from Jack to stand infront of Gabriel, her eyes filled with an angry expression. "You dare draw your weapon here?" She hissed, her frame tensed. Even when she was pregnant Lora was quite intimidating. Pushing the gun aside with a glare, Lora clenched her fists. "You dare threaten someone inside these walls?" her voice was little less than a snarl as it tore free from her throat. Furrowing her thin brows, the vampire squared her shoulders. Even if Gabriel was, less than... Gentlemanly at times, he was in the cave, thus-- according to ehr heart, was under the protection of the clan.. however un-trustworthy the majority of them were. "You will put away your weapon and settle this affair on another day-- in another place."

Gabriel looked a bit more haggard as he watched Lora and the others.
Keith bared his teeth at Lora. "You've no idea how long people have been hunting this man down! I want him EXECUTED!"
"You and so many others..." Gabriel sneered, pulling out his own gun and aiming at Keith.
"You've caused so many so much pain...You kill those that they love most dearly. Whose side are you on?!"
"I don't pick sides!" Gabriel growled, firing a bullet.
The small object when past Keith's head and landed a few meters further down the hallway from Jack's feet.
"You will die, Gabriel. You will. I will not rest until you are dead!" Keith growled as Gabriel turned to run.
"What about dear Keila? You're just going to leave her? She's pregnant. I'm sure she can't handle the kids on her own..."
Gabriel stopped in his tracks, his wings slowly folding into his back once more. "I love her........I love her so much.........." he hissed lowly to himself. Gabriel was trembling.
Keith watched Gabriel with scornful eyes. "Get out and never come back."
"B-But Keila..." Gabriel stuttered, turning back to Keith.
"She'll be fine with us." Keith growled.
Gabriel backed away a step or two, then his anger peaked again. "I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE HER!"

Lora, as a bullet whizzed past her head from the man she had been attempting to protect screamed and threw herself tot eh floor, landing on her knees and moving to sit back against the wall, eyes wide. "Oh my god..." She hissed, watching the two run through the hall, firing bullets and making to kill eachother. Covering her stomach with trembling arms, she sucked in a breath and blinked a few times before closing her eyes and furrowing her brows.
Keila, hearing the ruccus left ehr room and was nearly bowled over by Gabriel, and moved out of the line of fire, ehr chocolate eyes wide. "What the hell?" She blinked at gabriel, and watched in horror, as Keith, gun in hand approached. Though she was angry with Gabriel, she loved him. "NO!" She screamed and wrapped ehr arms around Gabriel's torso, trembling and crying into his chest-- not sure what to do, or what was going on.

Keith didn't seem at all phased by Keila, though Gabriel was horrified. "Keila!" "She is what you love most?" Keith sneered. Gabriel nudged Keila behind him, eyeing Keith. "I know what you're thinking...But please...Spare her life over mine." He wasn't afraid to protect Keila. It was better him than her. She didn't do anything.
"Keila, were you at all aware that your boyfriend slaughters others for fun?" Keith asked. "Or even have the slightest thought about yourself being pregnant?" The male vampire shook his head. Gabriel fired another bullet and spread his once-lovely wings once more. Keith dodged the bullet as it was sent into the floor at his feet. "My turn..." Keith snarled, shooting at Gabriel. The blue-haired male turned and flared his wings, shielding Keila. He gave a cry of pain as he was shot in the revealed bone of his injured wing, and fired at Keith again. Once more, the bullets either landed on the floor or in the wall. One missed Lora's feet by a few inches.
"Keila..." Gabriel whispered to his love. "...I'm sorry I never told you. It's just, I didn't want you to know...I thought that I'd lose you forever..."

((Sorry... I had to go and didn't get time to tell anyone....)
Jack roared in rage as Lora stood in front of a gun then almost got shot. He jumped in front of her in his Lycan form, teeth bared. He raced towards Keith and wrapped his jaws around his wrist holding the gun, a terrifying growl emiting from his throat, daring him to shoot again.

Keith stood where he was, arm still outstretched and eye full of the lust for revenge. Looking to Gabriel, who was still shielding Keila yet looking over her shoulder at the others. Keith scowled and pulled his hand free of Jack's grasp. "One of these days, Gabriel...Your past will catch up with you......" He muttered, hiding his claymore once more and stalking off down the hallway.
Gabriel nodded to Jack. "Thanks..." He released Keila and looked at Lora in an apologizing way. "Sorry............Um, you weren't hit, right?" He hung his head. His first fight since his last duel with Keila in the Rose Gardens, and it was a draw. "So...." Gabriel spoke to Keila, his face looking suddenly very sorrowful as his eyes studied the baseboards. He couldn't quite look at her. Not right now. It was almost too much for him. Wherever he went, a fight would break out and of course; he was the cause of it. He shuffled his feet.

Keila was in hysterics. Sobbing, she threw a hug on jack, her thank-you distorted by her trembling and crying. He had, no doubtedly saved Gabriel's life in the process of defending his own love. Turning back to Gabriel, she wrapped ehr arms around him, tight. "Gabby; Oh my god.... I'm s-so g-g-glad you're alright..." She hicoughed and blinked afew times, burrying her face in his chest, her body rocking with each sob-breat she took. She'd come close to losing him... again. Blinking at his wing, and its mangled forearm she drew in a sharp breath and shook her head. "Oh Gabby...." All else seemed un-important at the moment-- She was simply glad that he was alright. "You stupid man... You stupid pridefull man..." She smiled while crying softly against his shirt. "Give me a half a heart attack...." She gently slapped him and closed ehr eyes again.
Lora watched Jack revert to his lycan form, and her eyes widened. She had only ever seen him in this form once-- and he had been in a much more pleasent mood. Standing slowly against the wall, Lora watched as Jack took Keith's wrist in his jaws. When the sandy-haired man exited, she slowly made her way over to her love and wrapped ehr arms around his neck, burrying her face in his fur. "Thank-you Jack..." She whispered softly against his lycan pelt. Blinking at Gabriel, she shook her head. "Fortunately, no."

Gabriel gave a half-smile. It lifted his spirit, every time he was near Keila. He loved her so much. "Keila...Could you forgive me....For what I've done?" He asked her lowly, his eyes wide and pleading. The fallen looked to Lora and Jack and gave another smile, though this time with an accomplished look. After some time with Keila, he finally had mastered the way to smile. He flicked the wing that had been shot and grimaced. "It'll heal, I guess..." he muttered.
