With a groan, Sophia opened her eyes. It was dark, and she didn't know where she was.

But a voice floated out of the darkness.

'Well, well... we meet at last.'

Sophia raised an eyebrow. 'At last? That sounded like a line for a right crap film.' The voice snarled now, and the lights flickered on to reveal a dark blonde haired man with amber eyes standing before her. He tilted his head, surveying the young woman before him.

'Sophia Blackburn.' He mused, folding his arms.

Sophia scowled, trying to get herself free, but the rope binding her hands and body to the chair were too strong. 'Who the hell are you?' She snarled. The man raised an eyebrow. 'Oh? Don't you recognize me?'

The silence was answer enough, and made the man frown, then smirk. 'You don't remember me, do you?' Sophia just glared. The man laughed, clapping his hands twice. 'The names Zamiel.' the smirk widened.

'And you have something I want very dearly.'


Gabriel looked down at the Grace in his hand- was it Sophia's-? Or was it someone else's... Maybe that had been why she was kidnapped- they were after this Grace, whoever it belonged to. He could feel Sophia- maybe... maybe it was true that they were connected.

Maybe Sophia was an angel...


Sophia raised an eyebrow.

'Want? I don't have anything you would want.'

Zamiel laughed, then Sophia jolted as she saw shadows of wings appear behind him. 'Your an angel... aren't you-?' She asked quietly. He nodded. 'Well done, how very clever.' She snarled again, which made Zamiel laugh. 'Not so feisty are you now eh Azrael?'

Sophia froze. 'What did you just call me?' Zamiel raised an eyebrow. 'Oh come on- don't tell me you've forgotten who you are as well!'

Sophia didn't answer, genuinely confused. Zamiel's eyebrow was still raised. 'Where is it?' He asked, eyes dangerous. 'Wheres what?' Sophia asked, frowning again.

Zamiel snarled and grabbed her shoulders.

'The Grace of the archangel of Death- Azrael!'

Sophia scowled. 'A Grace? Even if I knew what that was, I'd never tell you.' Zamiel grinned. 'Big mistake-' Sophia yelled in pain as a fire suddenly ravaged through her, searing her veins.

'So-' Zamiel asked, lifting her chin up. 'Are we ready to talk yet?' Sophia groaned, but still said. 'I don't know what your on about! I'm not Azrael or whatever!' Zamiel sighed, placing a hand upon Sophia's heart. 'Guess were gonna have to try harder-'


Gabriel felt the Grace in his hand burn, as if it was on fire. This wasn't making any sense- if it was Sophia's... if she was an angel... why was her Grace here-? Why had she lost it? Again, it didn't make sense. She was human, he could tell. Alone and afraid too...

The an idea sprang to mind and he made her phone appear in his hand- something she'd touched. She didn't have anything blocking him from finding her, so this was going to be a doddle.

He vanished.


'Sa- say I was an angel, why did I fall or whatever?' Sophia asked the bastard that was Zamiel. He shrugged. 'Why you were kicked out, I don't have a clue. But what I do know, is that your Grace is very different.'

Sophia raised an eyebrow. 'Different how?' Zamiel folded his arms, amber eyes staring into her sapphire ones. 'An angel who possesses that Grace, and imbues it literally becomes the new archangel of Death. Imagine-' his grin widened. 'The power to kill anyone at will, and to bring anyone back from be it Heaven or Hell. Totally different to Death, yet essentially the same.'

Sophia stared- this... angel thought she was an archangel of Death-?

And where was Gabriel-? She never wanted to admit it, but she wanted him now more than ever.

'How many times do I have to tell you?' Sophia said wearily. 'I'm not this freaking angel!'

Zamiel chuckled. 'Maybe not now- you've forgotten, but you are. Didn't you always think your life was different? Cold and empty?' Sophia didn't answer, and the angel laughed again. 'See? You know it-' but he never finished, as the tip of a blade protruded from Zamiel's chest- Sophia closed her eyes tightly as the light exploded from within the angel. When she opened them, she saw the one person she wanted to see at that moment- Gabriel.

'Soph-' he said, snapping his fingers and releasing her. She sat there, staring up at him as he walked closer. 'You ok?' he asked, eyes concerned. Sophia didn't answer for a start, then asked him.

'Gabriel... am I an angel?'


Oh wow, thats changed everything! Is she really an angel-? Or is it someone elses? Next up soon! X Nic
