Gabriel had a hard time believing that his mortal lover; Bridgette loved their Nephilim daughter; Mariska. Every time he'd come to pay his daughter a visit he noticed she would always end up having a few new bruises. Gabriel sighed, and phased into his daughter's nursery; Mariska sniffled, and looked up to where her father phased into her bed room. She giggled as she saw him, he smiled down at her

"Daddy!" She yelled, Gabriel smiled, and picked her up. Bridgette walked into Mariska's bedroom, and saw Gabriel holding their daughter

"You're back" Bridgette said Gabriel noticed she seemed angry about him being there

"Well hello to you to Bridgette"

"You can't be here" She told him

"I happen to live here" Gabriel told her

"Not any more I want you gone" Gabriel sighed, but didn't leave his daughter's room he knew he had every right to be there. Once he had gotten his daughter back to sleep, he phased out of the house, and ran straight into a young red headed woman about 5'6 with hazel eyes

"Anna?" The young woman smiled softly

"Hello Gabriel you seemed hurt" Gabriel sighed

"So you can tell"

"What's wrong?" Anna asked him

"I'm worried about Mariska" Anna looked up at him slightly confused

"Whose she?"

"She happens to be my daughter I'm worried about her because it seems that every time I come to visit her, she ends up with more, and more bruises"

"Oh Gabriel I'm so sorry"

"If I can't be here to protect her then who will?" Gabriel found himself asking her, Anna smiled

"I'll be her Guardian Angel Gabriel" Anna told him at first Gabriel was wary about it, but he needed someone he could trust with his daughter

"Are you sure?" Anna nodded

"I can sense how much you love her. I promise that no harm shall fall upon her"

"Thank you Anna" After a while of talking; Gabriel left, leaving Anna alone at his house.

Anna sensed there was something uniquely different about Gabriel's daughter; Mariska, and vowed to keep her safe in the years to come. Anna noticed as she watched over her ward she became closer to wanting to keep her safe. One night around eight ish Anna heard Mariska crying worried Anna phased into the baby's bedroom only to see a dirty blonde hair man putting a small pillow over Mariska's face to stop her from breathing

"You shall not harm this child!" Anna yelled as she used her telekinesis which sent the man back into the far wall of the bedroom. This caused Mariska to start crying loudly, Anna rushed over to her ward, picking her up, as she tried to calm the young child down Anna materialized a bottle of warm milk for Mariska. Mariska managed to calm down as Anna fed her the bottle of milk

As Mariska grew up from a baby to a toddler, Anna watched on proudly. Mariska was about five when she first started to speak to her Guardian Angel; Anna. Mariska's mother; Bridgette had grown tired of her own daughter to which Anna started to feel sorry for her ward. Bridgette came into her daughter's bedroom to hear Mariska talking with someone, but Bridgette couldn't see the person. Bridgette thought that maybe Gabriel was there, and it was bothering her to no end.

"Gabriel I know you're here, I told you to leave four years ago!" Bridgette yelled, Anna being invisible to Bridgette shook her long red hair, and slightly giggled. Mariska sighed, and looked up at her mother

"Mama papa's not here" Mariska said to her mother Bridgette looked down at her five year old daughter embarrassed

"Then who are you talking to?" Bridgette asked her young daughter, Mariska looked at her mother confused

"My teddy, and plushy angel" Mariska pointed to her crib, Bridgette looked over at her daughter's crib, and saw her stuffed animals Bridgette sighed, and left Mariska's bedroom once she was gone Anna re appeared. Mariska smiled, clapping her tiny hands, Anna smiled as see showed Mariska how to move small items with her mind. Mariska smiled as she lifted her hands into the air, Anna laughed picking up the five year for the past five years since Anna had signed up to be Mariska's Guardian Angel she had taught Mariska a little of what she knew which consisted of Telekinesis, Telepathy, Invisibility, Teleportation, and Dream Walking.

"Now what have you learned so far Mar?" Anna asked as she put Mariska down Mariska blinked, and vanished after a while Anna opened the bathroom across the hall, and saw Mariska sitting on the toilet seat, and laughed "Well looks like you have mastered Teleportation" Mariska smiled widely Anna gave her a lollipop

"Anna can we try the shield?" Mariska asked her

"You mean being invisible?" Mariska nodded "Alright on the count of five ready?" Anna began the count down from five to zero when she got to zero she noticed Mariska wasn't anywhere in sight when she counted back to five Mariska reappeared "Nicely done now you have mastered two of the five abilities" As Anna continued to talk Mariska was set on trying to move her angel plushy from her crib the figure fell with a thump. Bridgette heard the noise from her own bedroom down the hall, and quickly walked into her daughter's bedroom

"What on Earth are you doing?" Bridgette asked her

"Nothing" Mariska said innocently Bridgette sighed

"You hungry?"

"No not hungry"

"Alright" Bridgette left as Anna phased back

"Anna?" Mariska asked

"Hmm what's wrong?"

"What am I?"

"What do you mean?" Anna asked her

" Mama hates me, her male friend wasn't human, and over the past four years I have been attacked by black smoke that tried to possess me"

"Oh dear you are what they call a Nephilim" Anna confessed

"What's that?"

"That means you're half angel"

"Oh"

"Because you are part angel I can help you learn what abilities I know"

"What will I do with it?"

"In time you will become stronger then you are now, and I shall watch you always if not here then from afar" Mariska smiled at her Guardian Angel.

1985

Later last year sometime around November Anna said her farewells to Mariska promising that time they would meet again, or cross the same path. Mariska cried for two months after Anna left. Bridgette just couldn't seem to figure out why Mariska so suddenly began to cry out of the blue. After Anna's absentness Mariska slowly became depressed, and matters only became worse after Mariska's child hood friend; Dean had to move after a mysterious fire burned Sam's Nursery

Ten years later. . .
