Skender froze for a moment and then his eyes narrowed with confusion. "Loved her?" He repeated with disgust. "You loved her?"
"Yes! I loved her. And she loved me too."
"Liar!" Skender drew his sword and took them both by surprise when he somehow was able to enter the gate and attack him.
Constantine was almost too late to draw his weapon and shield himself. He didn't expect Skender to be able to enter through the gate. Was he pretending the other day when he was attacked because if he could enter the gate it meant that his demon was awake and he had his defender powers? Only defenders could enter anywhere because they were protectors.
From Skender's own surprised expression, Constantine could tell he hadn't been pretending. Well, this was too easy and he was confused. He would have to keep testing him.
"Don't use the word love!" Skender said striking him with his sword.
