Reunited

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Many millennia ago, before Lucifer was banished to Hell, he had a daughter named Annabella. He created her from the clay of the Earth, such as God had with mankind, and he was able to breathe some life into her. However, when Lucifer was deemed a threat to Heaven and was sent to the Cage for disobeying God, she was taken away from him the day she was created by Michael. He was about to kill her until God came and told him that she wouldn't pose any threat to Earth and breathed life into her and made her an angel to serve in her father's stead. God favored Annabella over all other angels, as she reminded him of Lucifer, his previous favorite. Michael became extremely jealous of her, and he often scorned and tortured her; he placed a spell on her so that she could neither enter Heaven or the human world, and she was stuck between the two. God was furious, and he tried to break the spell until Michael threatened to rebel like his brother Lucifer, and he did not want to lose another son, so Annabella was left completely helpless. And so it was that Annabella lived a life of loneliness; she saw so many people enter Heaven, but she could never go there herself and vice versa. But often times, Lucifer would send Death to check on her and see how she was faring, and Death recommended to God that she be the one who takes down the names of those entering Heaven. God obliged, but Michael, still uneasy that she would escape and rebel like her father, chained her to the gates of Heaven so she could never leave.

For millions of years, that is how Annabella lived. Lonely. Dead. Unfulfilled. In fear of Michael. The only angel who seemed to care for her was Castiel, but he still lived in fear that Michael would smite him for associating with her; but the two were inseparable and were matched by God to be angelic mates and the pair had a son, Samandriel. They never saw each other again after he was born, and Annabella forgot him after many years of loneliness.

Death brought news and a gift one day. He told her that in some time, it was indefinite when, a human man, her soul mate, and an angel from her past would come and rescue her from Heaven to be reunited with her father. This gift he brought was from her father, a sickle scythe similar to Death's, one of the few rarities she had from her father. She lived every day in the hopes this human and this mysterious angel would come and save her and reunite her with her father.

Sometime after this, Michael tortured Annabella, asking her if she was helping her father overthrow Heaven and in aiding the creation of the apocalypse, but she denied all these accusations and was tortured mercilessly until God stepped in and told him to stop, saying she would be a useful pawn in the path to Judgment Day. She could only wait until these two men would come and save her from this hell of a Heaven.

Meanwhile, in the Cage…

For Lucifer, it was practically hell that his brother Michael was trapped in the Cage with him. If the Cage wasn't already bad enough, it was even worse that he was here. The pair always fought and sparred with one another, often times it led to tears and silence for hours and sometimes days on end. But one day, it was too much for Michael, and he confessed to Lucifer that he and the other archangels were going to kill his daughter Annabella on the 21st of December of that year.

Lucifer immediately began to make plans to break the Cage. After months of planning and preparation, he figured out a plan to get into Sam Winchester and Castiel's heads to tell them that they had to go rescue his daughter from Heaven and keep her safe until they have to bring her to him on the eve of the Winter Solstice in Los Angeles, the city of angels.

This is that story.
