The Seran Mansion. It certainly had been much too long since her last visit, or better put, her last visit with it’s owner. Such memories seemed so far and blurry, yet absolutely vivid all at once. Gabriel, Gabriel…she could never forget that face. Though she couldn’t really recall how far their history with each other went, or how close they were as friends, she did know that he had close ties with Demetri though. Hell she couldn't even remember the last time she physically talked to him. A sinister grin spread over those full lips. I feel like I should hate him. Cold, cerulean eyes came to a sharp glare as the sun tinted her body with golden rays. Yes, she did have a bone to pick with him.
Reira was situated a top a small hill over looking the majestic mansion. Under her left arm was a stylish, black dirt bike helmet, to her right was her shiny new toy. A new Aprilia model, one she came to love. Too bad she’d scratch the paint today. Chuckling, she zipped up her rather tight, one piece leather suit, and sat on her bike. Tucking her hair into the helmet, she placed the guard over her eyes and smiled brightly. Oh this would be fun. A black stiletto on gear, she shifted and revved the gas. The wind sliding off the contours of her body, she felt a rush of adrenaline as she drove the bike off the cliff…right into one of the biggest windows of the house.
The landing…well it was just as Reira expected it to be. After the intense shower of glass, the bike continued to skid into a large bookcase, causing it to rain books upon her. Hooray for helmets. Well that was a fun little ride, too bad it didn’t give her more of a natural high. She liked much bigger jumps. As the dust and debris settled Reira was happy to note the Gabriel was in the room to witness her entrance. Joy. He probably didn’t know who the hell she was, but that would change soon enough. Giggling, she waved a gloved hand at him and took off her helmet, letting her brown locks flow over her shoulders.
“Heya Gabe, it’s been a while, no?” She was going to say something more, but then paused and rephrased her sentence, putting up on finger as if to ask for a minute. “One second,” she said, unzipping her leather suit. “I never liked wearing leather.” The suit falling to the floor with the rest of the broken pieces of furniture, Reira walked into the kitchen, now dressed in a red skin tight tube dress. Once in the kitchen she found herself a nice bottle of Merlot and poured herself a glass, then returned to the beaten up room.
“Nice place you got here.”
She grinned darkly. Oh yes, Reira was back.

The evening was to begin fairly easily for Gabriel he was well rested and was ready to set aside the past.Well a part of his past at least. With the Black Knights entrusted to Alexis and Victor, Gabriel would watch from afar till his plan fell into place. It all seemed so simple...then.
*Crash!*
Through the window came a speeding motorbike. Skidding as it's rider hurtled off and to the floor. Gabriel nearly jumped as he'd entered the room watching his collection of books thrashed against the bike's force. He felt a radiant wave of anger surge through him almost like shock. Then of course things had to get difficult. The helmet removed caused Gabriel to drop the glass of Champaigne he'd been holding prior to the floor as it shattered. His jaw dropped even lower as she revealed the alluring tube-top.
Before she was to loom at Gabriel again he regained his composure finding a seat on the large chair positioned in the corner of the room, and away from the debree. A long breath of air as he heard the heels clash against the floor in the marble stoned kitched.
It's just a dream... She's gone.... Just a dream.
"Reira...I..." He stopped for a second regathering his breath.
"Is that really you?" Gabriel finally coughed out from the safety of his chair should it be an abaration.

"You can do it..."
She inhaled a large gulp of air. She stared at her reflection.
"You are confident..."
Lexi had been putting David's words into consideration. She would have to learn how to let people in. The first person she was going to let in was Gabriel. After all, he was all she had after Li left her. They were together and at many times he even may have had shown feelings towards her. Though it was hard to tell, after all, he loved her sister and Reira.
But now it is the future... Alexis had to learn to respect herself like David said. Gabriel wouldn't hurt her like Li did or anyone else in her past. They were there for each other.
That is why.... she was going to tell him tonight.
That feeling in the pit of her stomach came into play once again... that feeling when she first kissed him, when she started to feel the connection she had with him.
Alexis got in the nice car he had "given" her and she picked up a nice glass of wine. It wasn't the nicest per se.... but it was the best she could do.
Finally she had arrived to his manor, his door man letting her in when he had seen her face. It was the first time since Alexis had visited Gabriel in his home. He had been in the hospital for so long, and she was getting used to that setting.
When the small girl reached the door, another servant opened the door... obviously the gate man let him know.
You can do it.. Nothing is getting in your way... You are a very pretty girl... David even told you so...
She got into the living room, seeing as how she had seen the light on.... though she heard a girls voice. Alexis peeked into the kitchen before joining Gabriel. A girl who wiggled out of a leather outfit and into a sexy dress was all Alexis could see. The girl poured herself a glass of Merlot. Suddenly her "nice" bottle of wine so pretty much pathetic.
The girl walked back to the room and Alexis stared at the bottle.
"Reira...I...Is that really you?" it was Gabriel's voice... and the words he spoke made Alexis' stomach fall out of her ass...theoretically speaking... she dropped the bottle in the trash can and entered the room quietly, but she made her entrance noticeable. Her green eyes looked over the brunette then her earlier pep talks turned into...
You can't do it.. Reira is getting in your way... You look like dirt in comparison to her... David obviously has bad taste...
"Um....Hi..."

She took a sip of her wine, the flavour enticing her taste buds. She loved wine. It was a shame Demetri tried to make her stop drinking. No one to stop her now. Freedom tasted so sweet. Of course, it was only temporary freedom. Demetri was still her legal guardian and she loved him, so she would never try to separate herself from him. Taking a seat in a love chair, she crossed a leg over the other, her body directly facing Gabriel. The brim of the wine glass was teasing her lower lip, her eyes staring him down. That is until he asked her a rather peculiar question, which made her glare lessen into one of confusion.
“Well of course it’s me…who else looks like this?,” she said with a small laugh.
Though she had to admit, for a minute their her intuition was telling her that there was something to be worried about. Something just…didn’t feel right. But such a question had a very logical explanation. Gabriel just hadn’t seen her in a while, so that’s why he didn’t recognize her. Yeah, totally falling for that one. Strange guy. She doubted she changed so much in such little time. Silence ensued, until a small greeting finally broke it. Kudos to the girl with green eyes.
“Hi,” she answered back.
Did Reira know Alexis? Yes. Did she remember Alexis? Hell no. It was probably for the better. The two of them didn’t have the best history. Nothing like starting over. Well it probably wouldn’t change at all actually. Given their personalities and the natural animosity between them, history would repeat itself, sooner or later. For now, let’s play nice, shall we?
“That was unexpected,” Reira said, obviously talking about the new girl. Gabriel once again had her full attention. “Anyways, I just wanted to say hello, since we haven’t seen each other for years.” Really Reira? Maybe you should think a little harder. After all, it was only six months ago that the boy blocked bullets for you.

Years? Had it been that long, Gabriel had been so frustrated in thought deliberating if he'd finally gone off the deep end of insanity that he didn't recognize Alexis make her way into the room. His brow furrowed staring at the spot on the ground right before Reira. Gabriel looked up once again absent mindedly acknowledging that she was really there. No, she was dead. There was no way.
"You...Last I saw of you was six months ago..." Gabriel said in a numb voice, the life apparently being wrung out of him.
A quick jolt of his vision towards Alexis, though his gaze was glassed over almost the expression of a maddened person. His crimson hues faded to something murkier. Gabriel got up from his seat and lurched off into the kitchen in a hurry. His hand ruffled through miles of wine bottles finding none to his tastes at the moment. Till he found the one in the trashcan. It was unopened and therefore still fine, average but nonetheless it would spur his thoughts straight.
Pouring himself another glass he would down it easily giving the two women a chance to speak. Three glasses later he hurried back in. Gabriel didn't look at her til he reached his armchair. It was crimson as well matching the dark set of eyes now livened from the wine.
"Reira... Whats going on?" He stated flat out not sure of how she was still not an abaration of his dreams...or nightmares.

Gabriel paid no heed to her entrance. She could just see his glaze expression staring in awe towards Reira. Normally, Alexis would make some smart ass comment of her being a freaky zombie, but she seemed a little struck off coarse when Gabriel didn't even blink towards her direction.
Alexis looked at the girl and she returned the greeting.. no hate in her words... the girl seemed off with what she was saying... Did she forget? If she didn't forget, she was sure the girl would have thrown that glass of wine her direction. Alexis and her... never got along too well.
Finally Gabriel looked at her, but he wasn't all their. Alexis didn't even have a penis and she was still staring at the girl as if she was the most prettiest thing in the world. Se definitely matured... yeah she looked mature before... but now she was... perfect.
Gabriel left the room and her eyes followed his absents. Finally, Lexi's eyes fell to the floor with the shattered glass, then to the motorcycle. An awesome entrance for the awesome hottie? Yeah, Alexis was hella jealous.
"How...why are you even here?" there was no harshness to they way she spoke. It was an eerie calm and she just wanted to understand everything. Just as she was going to confess her feelings towards Gabriel, she just had to appear.. there and to be a reason.
Before the girl could answer, Gabriel returned with the smell of alcohol on his breath. She felt worried for him, he was obviously going nuts... his ex-closet lover just returned from the dead.
"Reira... Whats going on?" hopefully her question would be answered along with his.

Now Reira was confused. Six months ago? Six months ago she was off gallivanting on the white sands of Venice. Gabriel must’ve been losing his head, that or he got caught up with her Uncle’s mafia and was now a major coke addict! Here she thought she’d be nice and show up to do some catching up and now she was taken on a ride of mind tricks. She only knew him through the mafia and from being members of the same school, though she wasn’t at this school long and didn’t remember shit all.
Abruptly Gabriel shot out of his seat and disappeared into the kitchen. Reira did the same, but ceased to follow him, feeling the stares of the other girl on her back. Right. Her. Why didn’t she see this before, how dumb could she be?! This green eyed girl must’ve been Gabriel’s girlfriend. It would explain the shocked stare/worried stare Gabriel gave her upon her entrance and the question the girl asked her.
“Good question,” she said blatantly. “I don’t know why I even bothered to come back!” She shot down the rest of her wine. “It seems that I’ve crashed a little get together, so sorry.” The look she gave Alexis was far from friendly. Such was Reira. Though, she found it hard to suppress such feelings of jealousy. Odd. She didn’t like this. Gabriel soon returned, looking lost in his thoughts. Probably a good place for him to be at the moment.
“What’s going on?! How about you tell me what’s going on? Who’s this girl? I though we were…Demetri said that we were…” Her voice suddenly haltered as a shearing shot of pain erupted in her forehead. Clasping a both hands on either side of her head, she stumbled back a few steps, the wall keeping her upright. After a moment of struggling, the headache passed and she could breath again. A sigh escaped her lips. “Never mind. I’m leaving.”

Gabriel was still in shock over the entire ordeal, Reira was still alive. But in the end it changed nothing. He stared up lucky to catch the end of her words. What had Demetri said? The man was clever, the perfect father if he'd have been blessed as such. Gabriel watched Reira's psychotic episode still feeling a deep chasom in his heart errupt in pain. If she was still alive that meant... No, Gabriel looked down disgusted with himself. How could he think like that already he'd been trampling all over all these women's hearts. His heart leapt up with him as Reira made a break for it. Gabriel would be first to her lunging at increadible speed only to clasp a firm grip around her wrist longing for her not to go.
"Rei... stop," His voice quivered with indecisiveness.
This was all too much. She was alive, and he should be happy, but a part of him was torn to let her go and return to the room he was just in and comfort Alexis. He needed to make the right choice but either way he ended up hurting someone.
"I'm not letting you walk out that front door..." Gabriel said only to her then in a small whisper continued on, "I won't risk losing you again..."

Reira's reaction to this all was very odd. Alexis was caught off guard with it all... with what she said. They were what? Alexis looked at Gabriel, with an ache in her heart.
Were they together?
Alexis could have sworn she knew just about anything about Gabriel... How come he never told her? But... if he was with her, then that would mean he was cheating on Olivia. Was that part of the hate she received and thusly..killing herself? Of course Gabriel would hide such a secret from her.
When the girl began to leave, Gabriel reached for her. He demanded her to stay then a low whisper only she would be able to hear. Alexis' teeth clenched. No... he wouldn't have cheated on Olivia... they were split up for a while.. she remembered Olivia being heart sick that day, her needing her inhaler from running away from him.
That means Alexis had no chance in hell to get Gabriel. He had history with the girl, and they were obviously still together until she died. Alexis was a potential rebound girl.
Her green eyes went a little more bright as they glazed over.
"Yeah... You stay...I can leave..." she was obviously an unwanted body mass that was only taking up space and their time. Alexis only had a chance with Gabriel when Reira was dead.
And add yet another person Alexis cared about to the list of the ones she lost.

Honestly she didn’t know how far she would get, having to leave her Aprilia behind and not having her cell phone handy, but anywhere was better than here. Besides, the lingering effect of her sudden headache always left her feeling drowsy and very out of it, almost to the point where her brain kept swarming with dream like scenarios that she could’ve swore were real.
"Rei... Stop. I'm not letting you walk out that front door...I won't risk losing you again..."
Her eyes widened and her breath came short. As soon as his hand came around to the front of her stomach a sudden wave of realization hit her. Her and Gabriel. Many people were surrounding them, all but black silhouettes. Save for one. It was a male and this male as outlined in the most brilliant blue light. Gabriel was angry at the blue male. His voice, so cold and discerning, but his touch was warm and caring. Yes his touch. He was touching her stomach that day too. Her enlarged, round stomach. He was going to kill--- Reira took in a sharp breath. But as soon as she had grasped the feeling it had vanished as fast as it lasted. Her muscles un-tensed and she relaxed into his hold.
“I-We-Was none of it real?,” she whispered softly, placing her hand over his, in hopes to remember the feel of them. To Gabriel such a statement could have many meanings, but to Reira it was a statement directed more towards herself and the odd vision she had just had. This shouldn’t surprise her though, it had happened often enough. “What’s going on Gabe? Why do you keep referring to me like I’m some ghost from your past?“ It was all just so silly. So fucking silly. Ugh. What was she doing here?
Still holding his hand, she did a 180, so that she was now facing both Alexis and Gabriel. She smiled pleasantly then, almost sadly, heck she even put in a cheery little laugh. “I’m sorry...my head's just...I have a headache.” Her view went to the damage to the house momentarily, then back to the two of them. She then smiled at Gabriel. “We don’t really know each other so, I guess I had no right to come here. Demetri said we didn’t have to get married, ahaha um..” She faltered. “Sorry about the house…I’ll pay for it out of my next allowance cheque.”
She let go of his hand.

"Because you were, you Died Reira....I thought I lost you but. You're here." Gabriel performed a weak smile
Reira spun about acknowledging a reason for her own exit. And of course this wasn't the hardest part of it all. Alexishad to pitch in her chaotic edge to the mess and decide she was going to leave as well. No, Gabriel was in control still as he always had been. Gabriel retrieved his grasp around Reira's wrist and proceeded to drag her over to Alexis, grasping her as well.
Gabriel crossed the threshold with each of 'his' women in tow, once he reached the large couch he would throw them each into their seats. His face fumed in a state between confusion and anger.
"Sit still!" Gabriel bellowed at each of them looming over as he paced back and forth.
"I'm not letting either of you leave till I have a few things cleared up, first off Reira what did Demetri say about us? and Lexi, what were you doing here tonight?"
Gabriel stood there occsionally pacing back and fourth till reaching a calming point as he stood overhead placing hands on his hip expecting his answers.

Gabriel grabbed hold of her arm as Reira said somethings about a big mess up....MARRY? GABRIEL?
K, there was a huuuuuuuuuge ass mistake. Reira wasn't supposed to marry Gabriel.
"I'm not letting either of you leave till I have a few things cleared up, first off Reira what did Demetri say about us? and Lexi, what were you doing here tonight?"
Alexis froze... she didn't have an alibi. If she did want to tell him her feelings she definitely won't tell him like this. The both of them would just laugh at her because she had a pathetic attempt that failed miserable upon Reira's arrival.
Quickly, Alexis answered.
"Just popping over to say hi..."
LAMEST. LIE. EVER.
And you call yourself a pathological liar! you disgrace!

The word ‘dead’ echoed over and over again in her mind. When Gabriel grabbed her wrist and threw her on the bed she did little or no protesting. In fact, Reira was deeply lost in her thoughts. The word was like a trigger that caused her to feel vulnerable and a large sense of insecurity. It was just a damn word, but she couldn’t grasp why it had such a large effect on her. Gabriel spoke and she made eye contact with him, but one could say all he said went in one ear and out the other.
Answering in a small, half there and half not voice Reira answered his question. “I kept asking about you, because you were a person I remembered quite clearly. Then he told me that--” Reira didn’t get to finish her sentence, as a sharp, mosquito like pain was felt at the side of her neck. Blinking in confusion, Reira lifted her hand up to her neck and felt a small arrow like protrusion embedded in her neck. Pulling the think out, she realized it was a tranquilizer. With her vision quickly blurring and her conscious swiftly falling into darkness, she managed to see an intimidating figure looming in the doorway.
A tall, blond man stepped into the light, his pristine white suit making him look almost godly. In his hand was a small gun with a silencer on it. The two in the room both knew who and what he was. So, he was expecting no drama. Throwing the gun behind his shoulder, for one of his men to catch, Demetri placed both hands in his pocket and grinned at Alexis and Gabriel. He approached an empty chair but decided against sitting in it because it was rather dusty.
“Renovating?,” he asked sarcastically, knowing full well who made the mess. With the flick of his hand, two of his men began extricating Reira’s Aprilia from the wreckage and proceeded out of the room. The three of them were alone, aside from Demetri’s one man that held the gun, whom stood always behind him. Demetri then sighed. “I told Reira you were her fiancé because she wouldn’t stop asking about you, even after all the memory lost, she just couldn’t take her mind off of you.” Demetri chuckled. “Yes, she doesn’t have a clue to who she formally was and I blame myself for not checking your whereabouts before I let her come here. You could’ve ruined all that I worked for.”He purposely left the part out that he was the one responsible for faking her death. Demetri then walked to Reira and examined the damage he caused her neck to suffer. He was happy to note the wound was healing already.
“I hope you will agree with what I am doing. No. You have no choice.” The man looked threateningly at Gabriel. “God forbid I have to tell my little girl about what you almost did to her child. The situation you put her in. Or any of her past at that matter. She doesn’t need to know. This is a new opportunity for her…and now I see that I will have to take her out of this city and away from the two of you.” Nodding his head towards his henchmen, the guy picked up Reira bridal style.
“Goodbye Gabriel, Alexis. Hope you have great lives. Stay away from my daughter.”
Demetri followed Reira and his guy out the door. It was all just so casual, like something like this was an every day occurrence. Though it was saddening, he’d have to tell her more lies to cover the truths that Gabriel and Alexis brought up. “Hey hey", Demetri spat at him man. “Be gentle with her or I’ll shoot your balls off.”

Gabriel shot a fiery gaze at Alexis doubting her statement, primarily because of the fat that she wasn't an absent minded follower; she had her own ideals in mind. His gaze shot back to Reira who seemed to be currently in a daze. The shot hit her in the side of the neck sending Gabriel to flinch foreward clasping the woman's neck gingerly as he caught her collapsing body.
A sudden fury shot through him as his eyes locked on Demetri. The man was as secret as he was coy, the perfect warrior for a mob-mentality. Gabriel sat just below the couch holding Reira's defensless body in tow as he pressed himself between Demetri and Alexis.
Gabriel listened to the cowardly excuse, a defense for his actions there. Only a coward could defend himself against an offense he had exposed his niece to. Gabriel barred teeth showing his distaste for such a person, to add insult to injury he spited Gabriel as a demonized figure.
"You knew and yet you told her.... In fine sight you are no better than me." Gabriel hissed out through clasped lips his grip tightening on the girl ready to fight for her as the men approached to take her.
"Demetri you cannot have her!" Gabriel's grip would clasp aroung her arm and legs assuring that the men couldn't get close.
"She has her new chance here... I'm begging you don't take her from me." Gabriel was breaking down now, the calm in his voice was lost nowas he knew the man was of equal if not more connections than his own network. However this time around Demetri had the jump on him, Gabriel was at his mercy.

Out of no where.. a man came in and put Reira to sleep. Gabriel fell protectiveness over the girl and Alexis just stood in a shocked expression.
She listened to everything that was being said and a lump in her throat her..her eyes grew blurry..
"She has her new chance here... I'm begging you don't take her from me."
Alexis' eyes shot to Gabriel. He wanted her...She was the rebound girl and Reira was the prize. Tears poured down her face. When he kissed her... that just go her hopes up... it was too good to be true. No one loves Alexis... they love the tall and beautiful women.
Alexis stood.. trying not to whimper... she had that ehart sick feeling like the night where she left him... that same feeling when the doctors offered to take him off life support. Alexis refused.. she stayed with him..thinking she had a chance...spent every waking moment with him in the hospital to wait for him to get better...well.. there was no waking moment for her..she was an insomniac and couldn't sleep...therefore... she was with him 24/7...
Her hand grabbed at her stomach, watching the event taking place in front of her.
"Let her stay..She is good for Gabriel... I'm sure she would be there for him... and he for her..." her words were forced and it felt painful to talk. "I will just go home....I'm sure you guys can figure something out..."
She headed for the door and turned back with a weak smile... they would probably be confused to why she was crying.. "And..Gabe..You don't need me, right?..." insert double meaning there.... "I'm sure you can find someone else to be in second command..." and Alexis would head out the door...Broken...again.
