章 13: His Name is Gabriel
In the shroud of darkness, a chilling cry for aid pierced the silence. A lone woman's desperate plea reverberated through the desolate streets, her footsteps a frantic rhythm against the muted backdrop of the moon-obscured night. Fear radiated from her as she sprinted, heart pounding, pursued by an ominous trio. The clouds enveloped the moon, casting the surroundings into a sea of obscurity, the ebony cloak providing cover for their sinister intentions.
"No one can save you now, dear. We promise this'll be a real good time, once we're done." Their words slithered through the chilling air, tainted with malicious intent and an unsettling tone of perverse amusement. A trio of figures emerged from the darkness, their predatory grins illuminated by the faint, eerie glow of a nearby lamppost.
Their sinister laughter danced on the edges of the night, a twisted symphony of cruelty that matched their predatory advance. As they closed in, the woman found herself cornered, her escape routes gradually diminishing in the tight grip of their malevolent intentions.
A shiver of revulsion surged through the woman as the first man's touch violated her personal space. His lecherous gaze bore into her, stripping away her dignity with every passing second. The stench of his intentions hung heavily in the air, mixing with the unsettling blend of excitement and malice that emanated from his companions.
"Easy there, Jorge," the second man chimed in, his voice carrying a twisted hint of camaraderie. "We've got all the time in the world to enjoy ourselves. No need to rush into things."
As the woman's heart raced, the darkness around her seemed to close in, a suffocating void that swallowed her pleas for help. Jorge's knife glinted ominously in the dim light, its cold steel a reflection of the malevolent intentions that lurked within his gaze. With a swift motion, he slashed through her dress, leaving a jagged tear in its wake.
Her vulnerability laid bare, the woman's fear transformed into a fierce resolve, a spark of defiance against the overwhelming darkness that threatened to consume her.
"Oh shit! She's so hot! I can't wait any longer, Brothers!"
Amidst the cruel intentions and the power struggle between the men, the woman's desperate sobs seemed to fade into the darkness, lost in a world that had turned hostile and indifferent. Her trembling form stood as a stark contrast to the callous bickering that echoed through the night, a fragile ember of hope amidst the surrounding shadows.
As the argument between the two men escalated, her heart sank further, despair gripping her with an unrelenting hold. She felt invisible, a mere pawn in a twisted game that was beyond her control. In the midst of this grim confrontation, she grappled with the notion that her life could be extinguished without anyone to bear witness.
The wind that swept through the scene seemed to carry an otherworldly energy, almost as if nature itself were responding to the anguish in the air. And within its embrace emerged a figure, a boy with a countenance that radiated an aura of both strength and compassion.
As his presence settled, he approached the distraught woman with a serene smile that held a promise of safety. His blonde hair seemed to shimmer in the faint moonlight, and his eyes, full of empathy, met hers with a reassuring gaze. With a gentle motion, he reached out to wipe away her tears, his touch a tender balm to her wounded spirit.
Amid the tension and darkness that had enveloped the scene, this unexpected arrival offered a glimmer of hope—a glint of light amidst the gloom.
"Huh? Who are you?" The woman's voice quivered with a mixture of fear and surprise, her gaze fixed on the boy who had seemingly materialized out of thin air.
"Hi! I'm Gabriel," he responded with a warm smile, his tone carrying a soothing reassurance. "I am your Guardian Angel. You don't need to be afraid anymore. I'm here to protect everyone, especially a gorgeous woman like you."
His words were like a soothing melody, a promise of safety in a moment of vulnerability. The woman's tension seemed to ease, her eyes reflecting a mix of relief and curiosity at the presence of this unexpected savior.
The woman's heart raced as she struggled to comprehend the situation unfolding before her. She had been on the brink of despair, resigned to her fate at the hands of the menacing thugs. But now, this boy claiming to be her Guardian Angel had intervened, exuding an air of unwavering confidence and protection. Still, doubt and worry crept into her mind – could he truly stand against the danger that loomed, or would he too become a victim of the ruthless men? Uncertainty clouded her thoughts as she watched, torn between hope and skepticism.
Gabriel stood his ground, his expression unyielding as he faced the thugs who now directed their attention toward him. With a calm yet resolute demeanor, he replied, "I'm here to protect her, and you won't lay a finger on her." His voice carried a sense of authority, underscoring his determination to shield the woman from harm. The atmosphere grew tense, the confrontation between the boy and the thugs crackling with the anticipation of an impending clash.
Gabriel's eyes narrowed slightly as he assessed the situation, his focus unwavering. He could sense the malicious intent in the thugs' words and demeanor. With a subtle but confident smile, he responded, "I don't think you fully understand the situation here. Your choices have consequences, and I won't let harm come to her." As the tension mounted, Gabriel's stance radiated an aura of power, signaling that he was more than ready to defend the woman from any threat.
"Okay, let me tell you what would happen if you won't leave this pretty woman alone. First, I'm going to cut your dirty arms since you touched her face. And the remaining two of you, I'm going to cut your tongue for speaking ill towards this woman." Gabriel said
As the thugs charged forward, their knives gleaming in the dim light, Gabriel's expression remained unwavering. In a swift and fluid motion, he sidestepped Jorge's attack, his movements seemingly guided by an unseen force. With impeccable timing, he deflected the other two attackers, using their own momentum against them. The clash of metal against metal echoed through the quiet night, a testament to Gabriel's mastery over the situation. His movements were efficient and calculated, each action delivering a precise countermeasure. The thugs, now disarmed and disoriented, found themselves at the mercy of this enigmatic figure who had appeared out of nowhere.
With a powerful leap, Gabriel propelled himself and the woman to safety, landing atop a nearby rooftop. The woman held onto him tightly, her heart racing from the sudden movement and the astonishing display of strength. From their elevated vantage point, they could observe the baffled expressions of the thugs below, who were left in awe of Gabriel's extraordinary abilities.
"Who is he? Is he some kind of superhero?" one of the thugs muttered in disbelief, as they struggled to comprehend the spectacle before them. Gabriel's agility and strength had left an indelible mark on their minds, shattering their earlier confidence and arrogance.
"You're a coward! Get down here! So you're just talking nonsense, after all, Boy!"
As the light shone from Gabriel's hands, a magnificent transformation occurred. The radiance intensified, coalescing into the form of an ethereal bow and arrow, suspended in his grasp. The once playful smile on Gabriel's face now gave way to a focused determination. The thugs watched in both astonishment and trepidation as he assumed this new stance, his stance exuding an air of authority and power.
Gabriel: "Let's see if you can handle this. A taste of divine justice, perhaps?"
With a fluid motion, he notched the radiant arrow onto the bowstring, his eyes locked onto the unsuspecting assailants below. An aura of energy enveloped the arrow, imbuing it with an otherworldly potency. The rooftop beneath his feet seemed to vibrate with the building anticipation of his impending strike.
The arrow streaked through the air with a blinding speed and unerring accuracy. It collided with the thug's knife, the clash of steel against light creating a dazzling burst of energy. Despite the thug's desperate attempt to deflect the arrow, the divine force behind it proved overwhelming. The knife shattered upon impact, and the radiant arrow continued its trajectory, slicing through the air and cleaving through the man's arms. A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the night as pain and shock overtook him, leaving him incapacitated and writhing in agony.
The other two thugs stood frozen in a mixture of shock and terror, witnessing their companion's gruesome fate. The scene before them was surreal and unimaginable. Gabriel's words resonated in their minds, and fear tightened its grip around their hearts. They exchanged horrified glances, realizing the dire predicament they were in. The air seemed to crackle with an otherworldly energy, and their resolve wavered.
Gabriel's countenance remained resolute as he held his celestial bow poised, ready to unleash another radiant arrow. His stance was one of unwavering determination, a guardian standing against darkness to shield the innocent. The woman he had rescued watched with awe and amazement, her fear dissipating as she witnessed the divine intervention before her eyes.
