"I dunno, somewhere in this house." Dean said impatiently. Suddenly the lights began to flicker and the two men looked around warily. Gabriel sat completely still.
"In the kitchen." Gabriel said sternly. He turned to look at you.
"Don't move and don't worry. Just hide under your covers and don't come out until I say so."
You nod worriedly and he smiles.
"Everything'll be okay." He reassures you before walking out of the room with Sam and Dean. For the next few minutes, you hid under your covers, not knowing what to expect. After a few minutes you heard yelling and hissing in your kitchen. You heard a gun go off and a terrible sounding scream; you heard a body hit the floor with a sickening thud. You decided that you wanted to see what they had done so you pulled off the covers and ran into the kitchen to see blood spattered on the counters and on the three men standing over a mutilated body.

"What the hell happened?!" you wanted shout in horror, seeing and smelling all the blood. Instead all you managed to do was open your mouth and you went pale as a ghost, feeling the urge to vomit. The three men looked at you in surprise; the one named Sammy looked at you apologetically as if he was sorry you had to see all this.

"(Y/N), close your eyes!" Gabriel ordered. You did as you were told and felt tears come to your eyes from shock. You felt strong arms wrap around you from behind.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Gabriel whispered in your ear, his warm breath making your skin tingle. You kept your eyes closed as he backed you away from the scene, gently rubbing your shoulders with his thumbs to help calm you down.

"Boy's clean up the mess." He said to Sam and Dean; you could hear that little smug grin of his spread on his face; you were beginning to like this quirky Archangel. When he had led you back into you bedroom, you sat on your bed and let the tears fall freely.

"Where's Castiel?" you whisper. Your heart thumps loudly in your chest in a sudden desire for your blue eyed Angel.

"I want Castiel back." You look at Gabriel in despair. The Archangel looked at you apologetically, almost in disappointment, and pulled you close in a hug, petting your head softly and letting you cry silently into his shirt.

You stayed like that until the sun had gone down and the two men had walked gingerly back into your room.

"Sorry that you had to see that, (Y/N)…" Sam said. You let go of Gabriel and look at the two men with slightly swollen eyes.

"What happened?" you asked, taking a deep breath and bracing yourself for whatever their answer would be.

"A demon, right?" you said when they didn't answer.

They nodded.

"But it looked like a human." You continued.

"She was human. She was possessed and she…slit her vessel's throat before we exorcised her." Sam explained hesitantly.

"Oh." Was all you could say.

"Sammy, we should head out and find a motel." Dean said after a moment of awkward silence.

"No. You'll stay here tonight." You say in a tone that pretty much let the men know that they shouldn't protest or you'd bit their heads off.

They nodded slowly and smiled in gratitude. You told them where the guest room was and where the spare mattress was located. They thanked you and Sam left to set everything up. Dean stayed back for a few minutes, having a glaring contest with Gabriel.

"Where's Castiel?" you ask again, this time without the shakiness in your voice.

"Wait, you know Cas?" Dean asked, perplexed.

"How do you know him?" you ask with a tilt of your head.

"He raised ol' chowder head here from Hell." Gabriel explained, still sitting on the bed, now with a bag of M&M's in his hand. Dean threw him another death glare.

"How do you know him?" Dean asked, very curious.

"He's my Guardian Angel." You say slowly, watching as Dean's eyebrows raised and his mouth fell open.

"Your…Guardian Angel?" he repeated in disbelief.

"Yes." You say with a grin and a slight blush; just thinking about him raised your spirits.

"Do you know where he is?" you say, looking at Gabriel hopefully.

"He's at the Host, discussing his situation." He replied, stuffing a few pieces of candy in his mouth.

"What situation?" Dean questioned.

"Seems lil' bro has developed feelings for (Y/N) and he's running the risk of falling, again." Gabriel explained.

"Again?" you wonder aloud.

"He's fallen before?"

"Yeah, a while back. Not because he did anything wrong though." Dean said, reassuring you.

Dean jerked back suddenly.

"Dammit Cas!" he said, annoyed.

You quickly whipped around to see your Angel standing behind you. You lunged for him and wrapped your arms around him, holding him tight.

"Hello, (Y/N)." he said softly, hesitantly setting a hand on your head. You looked up into his face and saw that he was very sad. He looked away.

"Hello, Dean."

"What'd the Host say?" Dean asked curiously. Sam walked in the room and stopped when he saw you embracing the confused Angel.

"The Host told me that I must resign as (Y/N)'s Guardian Angel until I can overcome my feelings for her. Also, Gabriel has been assigned as my replacement." He said in a matter-of-fact tone. Your heart broke and you let go of him.

"What?" Sam said, confused about everything that was going on. Dean waved him off in a way that meant "I'll tell you later."
You trembled and looked from Castiel to Gabriel, bewildered by the news. Castiel looked at you with tears in his eyes; Gabriel looked apologetic.

"My apologies, (Y/N). This is what I must do if I ever want to be your Guardian Angel." He said, his voice breaking slightly. Dean and Sam looked on in confusion of how to feel and what to say, if they should say anything at all.

Castiel took your hand and kissed it tenderly before a tear fell down his cheek and he was gone in a flutter of wings.

"No, no, no, no! Don't leave me again!" you say quietly. You were unable to cry, to scream, to feel much at all but a strong desire to die. Sam and Dean left the room quietly, leaving you and Gabriel alone.

"Don't worry kiddo," Gabriel said softly, walking over to you.

"He'll be back."

You look up at him and the tears well up in your eyes again.

'I'm such a crybaby!' you think to yourself.

You looked down and clutched onto Gabriel, burying your face in his chest.

"I want to die." You say, completely dejected.

"Don't you ever say that." Gabriel said sternly.

"I'll be your temporary Guardian Angel."

You wail well into the night, fighting against the darkness that flooded your mind and your soul.
