Ariann's request.

The meeting with Fredrick was short but held significance to both Ariann's and Gabriel's life.

According to Frederick, Ariann had requested permission to attend a public school and miraculously got the grant to go ahead.

Gabriel was agitated by Ariann's naivety; always going on about things that would affect her negatively with no care for her loved ones.

He was quite sure that Jenny had a hand in Ariann's sudden choice, causing him to have a bad impression of her.

"Hah, there is nothing I can do anyway… just hope those old forgoes didn't ask anything of her… if not," Gabriel muttered as his eyes took a darker shade.

He's over overprotective of Ariann and knew the council wouldn't accept Ariann's views without a price.

Suddenly feeling a grip on his shoulder, he reverted to normal. He would rather avoid drawing unwanted attention toward himself. "What's up, man?!" Asked the newcomer, feeling something strange about Gabriel.

"Jack?!" Gabriel called out as he eyed the man before him strangely.

"...?"

Jack was perplexed by Gabriel's countenance, causing him to release his grip on Gabriel's shoulder.

"N-nothing… I'm just tired!" Gabriel said, clearing his head of all negative thoughts. "Sorry… I was just…"

"I understand… you must have been given some bad news, right?" Jack said, not letting Gabriel end his sentence. He could see that Gabriel had issues with his life… he believed Ariann is one of the main contributors to that bundle.

"I hope everything works out for you man," he said, placing his arm back on Gabriel's shoulder. "Go and do what you have to do, man… I wish you luck."

Finalizing his words with a thumbs up, he turned to leave; heading for the meeting he was sent to invite Gabriel for. Jack knew that things weren't as simple as it looked, allowing him to accept the fact about the matter.

The advice his friend Jack delivered to him, gave Gabriel the last push to decide on his path. His main goal was to protect Ariann and he planned on fulfilling it, no matter the consequences.

Glancing at Jack's back briefly, Gabriel headed for Ariann resident at full speed.

After a few minutes of racing at high speed, Gabriel arrived at a majestic building with dozens of uniformly dressed individuals situated at its entrance. 

"Guardian Gabriel!" An individual moved forward, giving Gabriel a slight bow to which he replied by raising an arm.

"..."

Gabriel didn't pay much attention as he passed by the uniformly dressed individuals in the building.

The individuals all had an infuriated expression as they watched Gabriel ignore their supposed leader's greetings. 

As Gabriel vanished from their sight, a male moved forward. "We are all seen as slaves… though we'll soon show them their place."

A demonic smile formed on his facial structure, the others following shortly behind. "We just need time."

***

In the building, Gabriel moved skillfully through the numerous hallways with confidence. The building had a complex structure, making it hard to navigate but for Gabriel, it was just a walk in the park.

Individuals dressed in different attires could be seen in the background, some taking the leisure to wave at the fast-pacing male, who had a stoic expression on.

Gabriel still occupied in his thoughts on how to handle Ariann's continuous mischief, ignored the people who greeted him, only managing to wave back at the few he considered important.

Immediately he arrived at a junction, he took in deep breaths of air moving to a door. The door stood proudly at the edge of the dark passage.

Reaching out for the doorknob, Gabriel twisted it to the right, encroaching on Ariann's privacy.

Due to his anger, Gabriel didn't consider it wrong to enter in that manner.

"Aria…"

Flabbergasted by the scene before him, Gabriel shot his lips tight… his manhood rising to a painful height.

Gabriel tried to control his carnality but failed miserably as he scrutinized the scene before him. He had tried to hold back all negative thoughts about Ariann, though the world seemed to be against that notion.

Ariann, who was lost in her world as she hummed her favorite songs, did not notice the intruder. Her bathroom only had a transparent curtain to serve as a door, and it was partially raised to the side, giving Liam full view of her impeccable back view, her shoulder to legs fully exposed for Gabriel to capture.

Her upside-down heart butt was one of the quantities he couldn't take his eyes off, wanting to stare at the beautiful scene forever.
