Chapter Eighteen
“Gabe,” yelled a voice, “Gabriel, wake up already! You sleep like a lazy
jackass! Wake up!” “Shut up,” said Gabriel in a soft voice, “You are a lazy
jackass!” “At least open the door,” whined the voice. “Maybe I’m in here with
someone. Ever think that,” Gabriel hissed back. He was implying that Alexis was
in the room as well, fast asleep. “Come on, Gabe,” persisted the voice. Wearily,
the door. He opened it. “Can’t you leave me at peace for five minutes,” hissed
Gabriel, “you’re beginning to annoy me, Virgil!” “Oh, come on,” smirked Virgil,
“The only reason you don’t want me around your pants is because you want to get
in the pants of a certain somebody, which I assume by your attire, you already
have.” “Or, and I’m just going on an unreasonable hunch here, I just plain find
you annoying and don’t want to hear your stupid trap,” countered Gabriel.
“That would be true if it weren’t for two factors. One, You like it when I
talk to you, because I’m your only friend. Two, you’re out here in your under
garments, which is proving my point,” laughed Virgil. “You’re an ass, you know
that,” grinned Gabriel, knowing that he couldn’t deny the fact. “Yeah…” sighed
Virgil, taking pride for the name. “Get dressed,” Virgil said to his friend, “I need
your help loading up some supplies in the Golden Palace.” “Alright,” nodded
About ten minutes later, Gabriel came out dressed in his uniform. “Let’s
go, Romeo,” Virgil mocked him, “You and Juliet can make love later!”
“Asshole,” muttered Gabriel with a smile. Virgil’s weird, cynical, and twisted
views on life and his awkward sense of hilarity were, in fact, very humorous.
Virgil loved to stereotype things, He could start a relationship with any girl, but
he can never continue it. Currently, he is with General Dar’s daughter, and
cynic. He is the kind of person who sees the glass half empty, rather than half full,
yet he is thankful that he has the glass itself. He enjoys the simple pleasures life
has to offer him. He believes not doing so is an insult to God Almighty. To him,
As they soared through the sky, the two of them began to discuss about
life, “How have you been,” asked Gabriel, trying to make small talk. Virgil
grunted, “I could be better.” “And Metatron,” inquired the Vizier of Might, “How
is he?” “Fine,” answered Virgil. Gabriel gave him a sheepish look. Virgil was
hiding something. “Where is he,” Gabriel slowly asked him. “Out,” said the
with a friend,” elaborated the vizier. However, Gabriel was not satisfied with that
answer. With a laugh, he said, “Your master doesn’t have any friends!” “You’d be
surprised,” Virgil replied, “He knows a lot of dangerous and important people.”
“He barely knows me,” scoffed Gabriel. “My point exactly,” replied his friend.
Gabriel stood in the middle of the sky for a few seconds, trying to comprehend
Virgil’s insult. Eventually he got it. “Ass,” he mumbled. “I’ll take that as a
compliment. Thank you,” replied the Angel of Reason with a laugh. The two
three months since the assassin departed for his first mission, which the monkey
failed to undertake. According to what Metatron said to him, the buffoon actually
rescued the head of Spine, Mastercheif Dezzick. Then, the idiot just left him.
What a dumbass! Who has ever heard of rescuing the enemy; the guy who is
coming for angelic blood? The one chance they had to wipe out Spine’s
leadership, and the bastard gave it up. Now, Virgil will have to try even harder to
sneak him in to Hell again just so the objective can be complete! At least the
feeble moron made out alive. “What are you doing,” asked Gabriel, “Still
dreaming about General Dar Kyrios’ daughter? You know she’ll leave you just
like all the others. You’re too unlikable. “Ass,” muttered Virgil in an almost silent
tone. Gabriel heard him. The two laughed at the irony. The two of them
proceeded with what appeared to be infinite vocation at their hands. It was almost
noon, by now.
