"Every new beginning ends."
"It's not my fault! You decided to the guys house, not me!"
"You were supposed to tell me the time!" Alice shook her head at the shadow whizzing past people beside her. In all reality, it was her fault, but Alice wasn't going to admit it. She paused, seeing a building with the word 'Harrogate' on the side, so she slowed her pace. Then the station came into view and Alice stopped. Gabriel manifested next to her in his human form, immediately clinging on to the panting girl next to him. Alice tried to shake him off, but he hung on with no intention of letting go. "Gabriel, cool it with the lovey-dovey act. It's right there and I'm late as it is."
"But you have to catch your breath so they don't know you were running." He made a fair point. The two moved to the railing that blocked of a park and sat down. "See, Ami is late too. I just saw her go in." Alice rolled her eyes and leaned back against the rails behind her. Cathal was lucky he was the Guild Master, otherwise she would have had no problem being late. She didn't care much at all about the insignificant mission coming up. Any one of the Guild Members could have done the mission all their own. Gabriel had referred to it as a bonding exercise for the Guild. Alice pulled the ponytail holder out of her hair, letting the lavender locks fall down. Despite how much she had been running, she still smelled like a field of violets with the smell of cologne still lingering on her skin. Gabriel had already grabbed her hair and made it into a loose side braid while Alice touched up her mascara.
After a few minutes, Alice and Gabriel stood and sauntered over to the station. They found the group of Keepers' and Demon's with ease and she moved shamelessly over, standing behind Ami so she was clearly visible. She wrapped her arms around the small girl, resting her chin on the top of Ami's head.
"So when are we leaving," Alice questioned, not addressing her tardiness at all.
"Says the one who just arrived," Gabriel said as he stacked his head on top of Alice's, wrapping his arms around her. He eyed the stranger in the group, assuming he was a new member. "Hey there, noob. I'm Gabriel and this plum head is Alice." Gabriel moved and nodded to the other men in the group. "And ladies, you're all looking beautiful tonight. I'm so glad to be in a group with so many privileged and capable young women." Alice rolled her eyes at her demon, sighing to match.
