Silver glided on the breezes back to Ben's house. The closer she got, the more she felt and by the time she landed on the roof, she had to crouch down and catch her breath. Even though everyone was calmer and resting now, she could still feel a storm around Ben, Violet's overthinking, Hush's annoyance, and every. single. thing. everyone felt. "Ooohhh." she sighed. "This might be rough."
Gabriel had stopped a few houses back, catching his breath and returning to the sky once his lungs had stopped burning. He lands beside her having turned himself invisible for fear of being seen by the nosy neighbors. He bites his lip, looking over Sil.
She'll freak out.
She freaks out about everything
He slowly turns her invisible, though she obviously can't feel it.
"Hey," she smiled up at him as he landed beside her. After she caught her breath and adjusted to the overload of information, she climbed up to the window she had exited from and opened it. "We can get in here."
He slips in the window gracefully, landing without a sound and pulling his wings in behind him.
He looks around, noting everything.
Yminn will need notes.
He'll need pictures
Silver climbed in behind him and replaced the screen, then closed the window. As she turned to him, she noticed him studying the room. "What's wrong?"
Don't be obvious
"It's new, that's all." He mumbles, rubbing the back of his head while he looks around.
I haven't been in a house this clean since… ever
She smiled and rolled her eyes. "It's also ridiculously ritzy and way too clean. But that's Ben for you. Come on." she heads for the door and unlocks it, pulling it open and marching down the hall toward the stairs. Part of her is apprehensive of interacting with everyone after they're fight earlier, and part of her knows everyone will freak out over Gabriel. But she was also starving and needed to eat before taking a power nap.
So Ben is here. Good. They'll want him.
Gabriel follows her out but stands on the balcony and looks down on the people.
Wow. Most of the remaining are here.
Silver jogged down the stairs and waved to everyone in the living room. "Hey, y'all. Have you had dinner yet? I'm starving."
Violet jumps, looking around with wide eyes.
"Silver?"
Gabriel flinches.
Ah, oops.
Silver begins to appear again and Violet stares looking horrified.
"I- I didn't know you could do that!"
Silver paused at the bottom of the stairs and blinked at Violet. "How did I do what?"
"You weren't there! You were invisible." She smiles and strides over to Sil.
"I didn't know you could do it."
Silver's eyes went wide. "I can't. I tried to earlier and…" she spun around and looked up toward the balcony.
Gabe was gone.
"Gabe?" Silver cried, racing up the stairs again. "Gabriel, where–" she reached the top and stared down the hall toward the room they had come through. "Gabe!" Her heart screamed with panic as she ran down the hall and looked into the room. "Gabriel!"
Gabriel rolls his eyes, walking calmly behind her and taking her hand.
Geez, what's wrong with this kid.
She jumped when she felt the contact and whipped around, still only seeing the empty hallway. She latched onto his hand and felt up his arm. "Gabriel? What are you doing? Why are you invisible?" She grabbed both his arms and held onto him as if she was afraid he would melt away.
I don't want them to see me.
He brushes her hands off.
She's so clingy
"Gabriel!" Silver cried as he pushed her away. She could feel him, right in front of her, and his energy had changed from how it was before, when they were out by the lake. He wasn't as open and gentle anymore. "Gabriel, what are you doing? Say something!"
He flinches with her change of volume.
"Don't yell." He demands quietly, walking out of the room and down the hall.
Hmmn. Why is she scared?
She followed him, tuning into his energy to keep a hold on where he was. "Sorry," she whispered, taking deep, even breaths to try and calm her heart. "You scared me. I thought you were gone."
(sorry people, I'm trying to write and memorize an entire speech on how time travel and alternate realities are possible…what did I miss?)
(Silver got mad and flew off. Met a creepy dude who taught her how to fly better. She unlocked more of her abilities. She brought creepy dude home to Ben's house and he's currently invisible because #anxiety)
(I though you, Bandito, might want to update and jump in maybe? So me and Lisa don't just steal the whole thing)
(We kind of wrote a novel over the last three days XD)
