NO WAY OUT...

Chapter One: Heaven And Home.

The chaos in her vicinity was unbearable. Amy did not choose to be here. She was here on orders. She had long lost interest in the fights her brethren kept issuing. But to acknowledge that she didn't comply with heaven was to issue a death warrant, something she did not want.

Lately it looked like there was nothing she could do to save the world that she was supposed to protect. Few years in the recent past had been the most tumultuous.

She had never met Lucifer, her second oldest brother. He was one of the elite ones: the Archangels. She had seen Michael and Rafael, but she loved the stories about her last archangel brother Gabriel. She had always heard funny stories about him from other angels. To tell the truth she wasn't truly close to anybody from her family. She was always away, usually in oceans, helping out seafarers. That was her Peace.

"This is opposite of our code. He reveres those two humans that were once his charge. He serves them. That makes him our enemy, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, who's to say he hasn't taken Lucifer's side on this battle? Maybe he wants to be on the other side from us."

"Brother, calm down. Castiel may not be all lost to us. We have no notion as to his true intention and if he does not intend to stand in our way of taking down Lucifer, then he has not lost his place in heaven."

Angels were fighting over the matter of a rogue angel, called Castiel. Amy had seen Castiel a few times, because his preferred Heaven was one of the heavens that she spent time in. she felt related to the calm in there. She had never talked to him; she had no idea if he had ever seen her there.

But just as the Apocalypse loomed over their heads, and on the earth, Castiel had apparently left heaven's service and joined the two brothers, two humans named Sam and Dean Winchester, the latter who was Michael's true Vessel. But with help of Castiel they had managed to thwart all attempts on heaven's side to convince him to say yes.

The Angel called Zachariah stood up. "My dear brothers and sisters, I have a plan to correct the situation, and if you will hear me out we shall waste no time in bringing Castiel back. He has become more human than angel now, and I believe if we are able to convince him, that our crusade is the only right choice he can make, then Castiel's emotions can lead him back to us. All we need is one Angel, from amongst you all, who can take up this delicate task."

All the gathered angels looked at each other. There seemed to be no one among the present company who knew Castiel well enough to be able to talk to him beseechingly. And suddenly someone noticed Amy. A cry went up. Her name was hushed, whispered, and then shouted out.

Over the racket, Zachariah announced that she shall leave heaven, travel to earth and bring back Castiel. Strange hands clapped her back, wished her luck on her quest, and said they envied her burden.

She could sense how many of them truly understood what had to be done.

She had to leave heaven. And for what? To convince a brother, whom she did not know, to come back to a side she could not see as meaningful, to fight a battle she didn't know a thing about.

Was this then her true family, her true Home? Is this what humans strived to reach from the earth? At this thought, she felt a strange sensation, her first sensation in her life, a sense of being surrounded by walls that grew nearer to her. She was thrown off by the sensation, because she had now the taste of what an emotion could fell like.
