Gabriela had visited her mother in a dream. She had informed Annabelle, her mother, that she was an angel wishing to live a human life. Gabi had this feeling that this woman and her husband should be the ones to raise her. They were almost desperate to have children, and Gabi could definitely assist them in making their wishes possible. At first Annabelle was skeptical about the whole ordeal since it was a dream, but Gabi kept persistently visiting her. So, when the couple found out they were pregnant, she automatically took the body as hers before another soul acquired it before her.

But before she captivated her body (she hated using the word 'meat suit') the head angels took her Grace. They told her because she wanted a human life, she should not have whatever gave her angelic qualities. It was a burning sensation that she didn't remember until now, and it was definitely a feeling that she should have never forgotten. Gabi, as a human, always felt like something was missing. That that something was a piece of her which would be very difficult to find or never find at all. She now realized that it was her Grace. The warm half of her soul that would complete her once she returned to Heaven. Once she was an angel again.

Someone had warned her of the head angels taking her Grace and had the same angel burn Enochian sigils into her ribs when she turned two-years-old. She vaguely remembered how badly the pain was. How her screaming had woken her parents, worrying them terribly. But she had no fever or anything that clued that she was sick. They waited for a few moments, confused as to why she was crying and hoped that their daughter would stop. And she thankfully did. Probably from passing out as the pain was too severe for a child. It kept her from being found and she was so grateful she had the markings hiding her.

Gabi would miss her life on earth. This beautiful planet that obtained strange creatures and salty waters. She only got the chance to visit the beach a couple of times, but it was the most relaxing times of her life. She would just lay in the sand and listen to the waves crashing against the shore and to the seagulls squawking as they flew above her. Gabi held no concerns while on the beach and wished that she could pause time and stay there forever, but there would be a time to go back to Heaven and serve in the army of angels.

She would have to die in order to become an angel, and honestly that terrified her. The thought of death or the way that was going to die didn't scare her. It was the fact that once she died, she would be given back her Grace, and demanded that she would lead others in training. She still wasn't ready to do what they needed her to do, but it was inevitable. She would die and become a leader. But at least she would be back with her father.

Gabi couldn't remembered exactly who her father was, but it was an angel. Not God, who she had thought it was. She thought the person who created her was God, who created everything else, but it was an angel who created her through his own energy. He somehow fabricated her soul out of his, and thus, she was his daughter. Nobody else could explain or comprehend what happened. She knew that he was the one who warned her of the taking of her Grace and who she made promise to burn the sigils into her.

Gabi awoke in strong arms, and felt as if she had been out for hours, but it was only a couple of minutes. She turned her head to see Castiel who looked confused and concerned.

Gabi was also confused and asked him, "What happened?"

"An angel found you and they are probably going back to Heaven so they can relay the information."

"But the sigils? They provided protection?"

"I need to do them again. Apparently they have worn down and the changes in your body have shifted them."

"Okay," and readied herself for the pain. But as soon as the realization set in and figured out what exactly he said, the familiar searing pain of the sigils being burned into her tore her away from her thoughts.
