Madison looked over her shoulder as she pulled herself to the rooftop struggling for her life not to fall to the streets below. as she stood on the rooftop looking across the gap. she breathed heavily and asked "what on earth are you talking about? what demon.. and wouldn't you think if i were a demon i wouldn't have introduced myself as Madison? I'm Madison you crazy man!" she feel to her knees and then to all fours her head hung and seemed to be on some sort of rubber band as it feel with her body. swinging with the gravity. She was scared and exhausted after struggling for her life at the edge of a rooftop. this is crazy.. what is going on?

"Hmm. It seems that he is hiding or she what ever the case maybe." Marcus ran to the ledge and pulled Madison away from the ledge. "Not too crazy. You alright?"

Madison was breathing heavily and struggling a bit to get out of Marcus' arms. She was lost and confused and didn't understand a word he was saying about a demon or something... She passed out.

"Whoa. Got you." Marcus caught Madison in his arms. He jumped to the ground below. and followed the lamps to his hideout. The final lamp he passed was flickering. Marcus flew to the roof of his hideout and set Madison down gently on the cot. "Hmm, got it." Marcus prayed then concentrated his visible aura in his hands. "I'll wait, perhaps she'll wake up soon. If not, then I will." Marcus looked away from Madison towards the passersby.

Gabriel sat on a ledge, staring down at the sidewalk. He took a deep breath and proceeded to speak to himself...
"It's been years..."
He tilted his head back and closed his eyes and tried to remember the last time he was here. The last time he was home. He couldn't.
He couldn't even remember the last human being he came into contact with. There was that deal he made with the glowing dough nut. The deal to watch over the kid who had no understanding of the English language. That deal fell through, though. It never saw the light of day..
Then there was the cat. What was her name? "Kaori..." He whispered to himself. One corner of his mouth turned up into a half smile as he remembered their first and only encounter. "My, my... What a playful kitty..."
His right ear twitched as he took in a big breath of the London air. He wondered what had become of the kid and the dough nut. What had happened to Kaori? He would love to properly introduce himself then rip her to shreds or maybe... Take her out to dinner.
Things have changed over the years. This section of London seemed to be abandoned with no sign of life in the surrounding blocks.
Gabriel hopped up and off the ledge onto the rooftop. He planned to nap but instead maybe he'll take advantage of the ghost town.
... And try to find some food. He held his hand over his stomach as it protested any activity until it was given sustenance.
"Alright, alright.. I'll find some food."

He pried open the door to the rooftop and hopped down the stairs, pausing at the bottom. Gabriel looked around and down the hallway he ended up in. "Flats. There has to be some food or at least some cans of food in one or two of these flats." He walked to last door to his right and knocked on the door, although he knew better. "Manners.."
He took a step back then kicked door in and poked his head in. Just like he suspected, no one was home. No one had been home in what looked like years. The kitchen was to his right and he began to rummage through the cabinets and ice box. He threw quite a few cans of food in his bag along with some water and pop bottles.
Strutting into the living room with a backpack full of food and beverage, looking at the tele a light bulb went off in his head. Now, Gabriel felt uncomfortable taking refuge in what used to be someones home so he opted to make the rooftop his new home. He could fashion a small shelter out of wooden pallets he saw up top, carry the mattress up there, the tv along with the vhs/dvd player, and pillows and blankets.
Gabriel ran out of the flat and back up to the rooftop with a big smile on his face. The first smile in a long while. He could only imagine the things he could find to place in his new makeshift home. And to top it off, nothing could beat the view from the spot he was going to choose to build it.

He raced back onto the roof and chose to make his spot against the rooftop door shed. He grabbed a couple of wooden crates from an opposite corner and stacked them against the concrete wall of the shed. He set his bag down and began to take the cans of food and beverages out and place them in the wooden crates. "Shelves.."
Gabriel threw his bag back over his shoulder and raced back downstairs to the empty flat.
He gathered some unused hygiene supplies from the bathroom, pills and first aid from the medicine cabinet, blankets and pillows and shoved them all in his bag. He then walked into a bedroom and rummaged through dresser drawers and the closet to claim any clothes that would fit him and also put those in his bag. "New shirts, boxers, pants, socks... Yes..."
Gabriel stood and walked into the last bedroom of the hallway. He grinned at the sight of the bed. He picked up the mattress and walked out of the flat and onto the rooftop again. With a plop, the mattress came to its resting spot against the concrete wall. With his foot, Gabriel scooted the crates over and scooted the bed closer to the wall. He dropped the bag and fell onto the mattress and took a big sigh of relief.
He rolled over on his back and stared up at the sky for a few minutes before drifting off into a cat nap...

Slowly opening his eyes, Gabriel sits up. He stretches and yawns and rubs his eyes. He scoots over to the edge of his new bed and grabs his bag to pull out the pillows and blankets. Noticing a utility shed a bit to his left he gets up, struts over, and kicks the door in. He scours the shelves for tools and supplies to build the roof of his shelter and manages to find a hammer, a half empty and a full box of nails, an stack of old tarps, a couple of flashlights, batteries, and a lantern.
He sets the supplies on his bed and walks over to the stack of wooden pallets. He pulls them off one another and begins the long, probably splinter filled, task of pulling the pallets apart being careful not to break any pieces or lose any nails. He starts humming a tune to himself and sets the good pieces to his right and throws the useless pieces to his left.
-----
An hour later he has enough of the pallets pulled apart and has a decent pile of useful wood to build his new shelter. Or shall I say home? He moves the pile closer to his new spot and proceeds to build the frame of his home. He uses a few of the wooden pallets to create a floor to keep his home from "flooding" when it rains. He proceeds to cover his makeshift floor with a tarp for comfort and begins to build the skeleton for the walls around his home. After nailing, hammering, and pounding the wood pieces together to create walls and the skeleton of a roof he wipes his forehead and grabs another tarp.
He lays the tarp tightly over the roofing frame and nails it in. "Would be nice to have staples..." he says as he lays another tarp on top of the first to prevent any leaks and extra protection from weather and repeats the process. He then nails one side of another tarp to one side of the roof to create a "door".
After a few hours his home is near completion. He steps back and takes a good look at what he has built for himself, crosses his arms, and nods in approval. He is especially proud of his solid wood wall and tarp-covered pallet floor. Gabriel crawls into his new home, sits on his bed and grabs a can of food from a crate shelf and prepares to enjoy his first meal of the day. He pokes the point of his knife in and slices the top of the can open and is surprised to find soup.
After dinner, he lays in his new bed, rolls over and pulls a book from his bag. "Reading will help me fall asleep..." Not even ten minutes into the book, Gabriel drifts into a light slumber...

*11 months later* Man, Gabriel can sleep can't he?
--------
Gabriel slowly opened his eyes. He blinked a few times and slowly sat up, his back popping in several different places as he rose. He was now one year older and as hungry as a thousand starved buffalo. He groaned and stretched then quickly reached for a can of food from the makeshift shelves. With the edge of his pocket knife he sliced open the lid of the can and was excited to peached and he slugged them down in less than a minute. Still hungry, Gabriel reached for another can and a bottle of water. After about 10 minutes Gabriel had eaten through 3 cans of food and drank 4 bottles of water.
I wonder how long it has been. Couldn't have been that long now, could it? However long, it was the best sleep I have ever had. I feel like I could run across the Atlantic and back a few times.
The wolf stretched again and leaned towards his mirror.
"Oh my.. I need a shave," he said as he looked at the dirty mirror propped on top of a wooden crate. Then... *sniff* ...... *sniff sniff sniff sniiiiiifffff* "My word I need a bath!!" Almost immediately Gabriel hopped off of his bed and grabbed his duffel bag. He bolted out of his self-made home and set way to find an abandoned apartment with running water so he could bathe and shave.
