Hi all! This is my first fanfic ever so I hope you like it! Although I have been an avid reader of this website, I have never been on the writing/publishing end of it so please forgive any mistakes in this first chapter. Just an example for you of how bad I'm doing is the fact that I've written this intro about 5 times now because I'm on my phone and I keep accidentally hitting back! Obviously you can't tell so I just thought I'd share my frustration with you :)
Like most authors on this site, I love follows, favorites, and especially comments. I actually have more of the story written, but I wanted to see what kind of response I got from the first chapter before uploading more so please please give me feedback.
Chapter 1: The Prisoner
Gabriel circled the cage. "How long do you think you can keep me here, Gabriel" the occupant spoke. She was a young girl that looked the age of 18. She had with long brown hair tied back revealing her matching hazel eyes and solemn stare.
"Well I've been successful for 25 years so another 25 might suffice" Gabriel responded with a smirk. "And while you keep me here many of our brothers and sisters lay dying fighting a war you began!" The girl accused.
"It was our father's will Samandrial!" Gabriel responded ferociously. "And if it hadn't been for Michael's treachery we would have already won this war and the humans would be no more!"
"You accuse Michael and yet it is you who continues to endanger the lives of all those close to us. Let me go Gabriel. We can stop this madness, all this chaos and conflict between our brethren...between our family." Sam said with a pleading look.
Gabriel stared at Sam for a moment as if actually contemplating her suggestion. His face softened "I wish I could, little sister, but Michael has brought upon his own fate by siding with the humans and must be destroyed with them. As for your incarceration, you are safer behind these bars. They kept you out of this war and I intend for them to continue to do so. It's not safe and I could not bear the thought of losing you" Gabriel spoke with sadness in his eyes.
"Is that truly the reason? Or are you afraid I would join Michael against you and we would triumph to free mankind from your reign of terror" Sam replied indignantly.
Gabriel froze in his spot and moved closer to the cage. "Be careful of what you speak Samandrial I have no wish to harm you, but if you ever join Michael's side against me there will be consequences!" Sam turned her back to Gabriel. "So this is what it has come to. Your lust for power is so great that your willing to destroy your family, the very ones who have saved you time and again and loved you despite all that you have done."
Gabriel remained silent as Sam turned back around. He could see the tears glistening in Sam's eyes and it took all his strength not to go into the cage to comfort her. "I'm sorry Sam but this is how it has to be. Please do not try to escape and all this will be over soon" Gabriel said softly. With that said he turned and left the room leaving Sam alone to contemplate all that had been said.
