Revelations (Re-made)

Gabe sighed and flopped down on the floor, "I'll say. I'd rather take my frustration out on the source, my father and with my damned sword. Jerk..." He felt useless without his blade by his side and kept his distance from April and Maddie so he couldn't hurt them like Lulu.

 

"Yeah...I realised something earlier. You know we were hoping he wasn't in a bad mood, well I can manipulate moods. I can make sure he's not, although, I wouldn't like to get caught doing it" April said, rubbing her neck and absent mindedly moving towards Gabe.

 

Yuri popped his head through the door, "Weapons are in the filing cabinet." Then he disappeared, slamming the door behind him.

Maddie frowned and opened the filing cabinet, and what a surprise she got. Nearly every Physical weapon in existence was in here.. "Huminahuminahuminahuminahuminahumina" She mumbled aloud

 

Gabe stared into the cabinet, unaware of April's movements. "I don't think my father would approve of a Modern Studies class having weapons in the filing cabinets. Somehow I think Yuri has bent the rules a bit."

 

"Something tells me these aren't always here....and yeah, he probably wants a gag order on this." Maddie took out a sword and waved it around a little, from having no experience in wielding a sword, she was doing pretty good. "I wonder where he got all of these.."

 

Gabe felt nervous letting an unexperienced girl hold a sword, "Hey now. I feel like I should take charge of this. Gimme that sword, I'll teach ya how to throw it to someone in the midst of battle so you're not spearing me." He grabbed the sword in her hands, keeping her hands on it and pointed the blade at the ceiling, "Keep the blade upwards and just toss it, okay? If you throw it like a spear I'm probably going to drop it." He moved a few paces away from her and held his hand out, "Go on, toss it."

 

Maddie gulped and quickly did some calculations in her head, "O-okay.." She gave it a small toss, but just enough so it could reach Gabe. She panted heavily as things seemed to go in slow motion.

 

Gabe frowned at her small toss and the blade tipped downward. Dipping and catching it's hilt, he flicked it around in his hand and ran his finger along the blade, "Hmm, not enough force in that toss Maddie. But for a girl it's pretty good. You'll get the hang of it, though I'll let Gabriel beat that into your head." Twirling the sword around in his hand again he tapped the blade against his boot, "Sturdy blade, not as good as mine, but good for Yuri. These blades are pretty hard to come by these days."

 

"Looks like Yuri took his sword with him, to bad. I would always play with it unsupervised!" Maddie sighed. "Then, where'd you suppose he got these? Considering they're so rare, I highly doubt he picked them up at a garage sale dirt cheap..."

 

Gabe shrugged, "There's a lot of places you could buy them for a good sum of money. Your good ol smithy or maybe he stole em from Gabriel. Who knows."

 

April was watching them with fasination, "Any chance of me having a go?"

 

Gabe looked at her in shock, he felt nervous handing over a sharp weapon to a girl. "Uh, if you want to. I suppose there's no harm in it. I mean I'm here to make sure you two don't kill yourselves." He smiled a little easier and held the sword out to her, hilt first. His fingers pinching the blade.

 

April grinned, a twinkle in her eye, "Thanks" She took the weapon and held it in her hand, moving it slowly around at first to fet a feel for it.

 

"You seem to be a bit panicy Gabe, can't trust some girls with sharp weapons?"

 

Gabe looked at Maddie and shook his head, keeping one eye on April, "Nope. Never can trust a girl with something sharper than...well you just can't trust women with sharp objects. They either hurt themselves or try to hurt others. Accidents are prone to happen."

 

April ignored what Gabe said and her urge to stap him, instead moving the sword in gradually more confident swipes.

 

"Well, no accidents have happened so far." Maddie grinned picking up a mace and swinging it around.

 

Gabe ducked, "Whoa, man can't you women control your wild tendencies? Holy moly, you nearly hit me. You guys may be angels or whatever, but I most certainly am not. I have no wings or magical powers and whatnot. I feel like I should be wearing a suit of armor." He nervously lifted his hand, willing to catch any sharp object before it could decapitate him.

 

April laughed, she was beginning to get the hang of using the sword, she was moving it around in sharp precise movements, "Am I doing it right?" She asked.

 

Gabe smiled, a little easier, "Heh, yeah. It's a good start, but Gabriel will show you how to properly use a sword. Rather than Yuri just letting you go off and wildly swing the thing around." He leaned back against the wall and watched them with a careful eye.
