The Inn part 2

(Gabe pov)

I looked around as we entered a nice-looking inn. Of course, everything appeared faded. Similar to most of the Dark World so far, the colors aren’t as bright. In fact, most things appeared black and white, like my now soaking wet clothes.

As soon as we were in the foyer, Ava called out to her sister.

“SIS!”

Ava had introduced herself quickly on the way here. She works at the inn with her elder sister and something about fashion designing?

“WHAT IS IT!?”

“WE GOT COMPANY!”

My eyes widened as Ava’s sister walked into the room, “Really? Who the heck did you bring in this time??”

Her clothes were quite…. Different. Unlike back at home, where even the woman soldiers fought hard to conceal their skin. She had her cleavage and stomach showing. Was she even wearing a shirt? I glanced down and noticed she was wearing pants with holes on the legs.

She noticed me looking at her, “WHO DO YOU THINK YOUR LOOKING AT!?”

“No-one.” I sweated.

The girl looked like she was inspecting me suspiciously before sighing and turning away, “My name is Ace. We have some warmer clothes in the other room. They were our father’s.”

I gasped, “I-I really shouldn’t-!”

Ace looked at me like I was crazy, “What are you talking about?” An idea then struck her, “Oh… Do you think we actually CARE about our father? Nope, not at all. He and our mother hit the road as soon as we were old enough to run the inn ourselves. So, don’t worry about it.”

“That’s horrible….”

“And common. What are you exactly? No demon would even think twice to feel bad for others.” She took note.

My eyes widened before I looked down at the ground, “I-I don’t know….”

In truth, I really did not know. The priests took my angel essence from me, so I was no longer an angel. However, I still do not think I am a demon. Well, yet anyway.

“Hmph! Whatever! Follow me. We will show you to that room. Consider it free of charge.” she then started walking as I followed.

Soon we were in a small room with a closet across from the bed. Ace went over to the closet and opened it. She looked through it for a few minutes before throwing an outfit at me.

“Wear this. I'll wait outside the door. When you are done, you can give me the wet clothes so we can get them dry.”

I nodded, “Thank you.”

She shrugged it off before shutting the door behind her.

(Titus p.o.v)

I creaked the door opened. It was very late at night. My assigned team to take Gabriel into The Dark World didn’t get back till close to midnight. The queen was delighted to hear from us and decided that there will be a celebration for our good deeds.

Looking back, my little bro- no. Gabriel. He had said he was innocent even though we stripped him of his angel essence. Something was not right here….

I shook my head of such thoughts. My queen is always right. There is no need to question it.

Once I stepped foot in the door, I was surprised to see father up and awake. He was sitting in his chair, looking weary. It’s like he hasn’t slept for days.

He looked up at me, “T-Titus….”

Dad got up and put his arm on my back, forcing me into a hug.

He sobbed, “You’re back… You are really back….”

My eyes widened. Why was he so concerned? It was a simple mission.

“D-Dad?” I questioned.

“It’s just… I was worried… that something would happen to you too-!?”

I pushed him away.

He looked at me questionably, “Son?”

Looking him straight into the eyes, I screamed, “NOTHING HAPPENED TO THAT TRAITOR! HE CHOSE THIS PATH!”

Suddenly, something happens I thought would never happen.

He slapped me.

“Use your common sense! You should know Gabe better than anyone!” He then turned away from me, “The queen has become corrupt. There will be war soon, and it will not be between us, angels and demons. Your mother and I are leaving the capital of light until this mess is over.”

“What?” I looked at his back in shock.

He said quietly with a cracked voice, “You may join us if you wish. However, you are not to talk about your brother like that again.”

“No. I won’t. I refuse to leave my queen.” I shook my head defiantly.

“It’s your decision then.”

With that, my father took his leave. Feeling betrayed, I slammed my fist on the wall and then ran up to my room.
