Time to get another chapter up for today, since today I have been a busy bee today. In this chapter, Monica is forced to stay at home since she already has been hurt and still hasn't been healed from her fight from Michael. As much as she wants to help find Michael, Gabriel has forced her to stay at home. In fact Gabriel has gone as far as to use entrapment sigils in order to keep her from taking off. Will Monica stay and be a good girl, or will she end up making a deal to try to help and end up worse off than she was? Also a big shout out to NoxyHart as she is wonderful and I love her and go read her work. She is an amazing writer. You should go check her out. She keeps me going a lot.
Disclaimer: I have yet to own Supernatural as I just borrow them and put them back when I am done. If I did, Gabriel would still be alive and well. I own Monica and Zagon and NoxyHart owns Raziel and Xaphanel. Please enjoy and reviews are always loved.
They all sat around Gabriel's table as he sighed as even Bobby had returned with them back to Gabriel's home. He knew that they would need as much help as they could get. Monica was sitting at the table as well, with Raziel behind her. He figured she needed to get off her feet as she was looking a bit pale. In fact she had been pushing herself a bit the last few days. Gabriel really didn't like how much she pushed herself, but for now he would humor her. With all of them seated at the table, he let out a sigh.
"We have been searching for days looking for Michael; so far we have found no trace of him. Dad can't even find him. We are going to try a different approach. We are going to split up in teams. Maybe that way we can cover more ground and that way if he is hurt and gets moved almost every time we search. If he gets moved, we might be able to catch him."
Monica sat up and nodded.
"Yes that is a great idea, even I can do that. That should be a piece of cake."
Gabriel turned and looked at Monica. Even Castiel shook his head as he didn't like the idea out there searching for Michael by herself. Castiel turned to Gabriel hoping that he was on his side for this one. Gabriel let out a sigh.
"Monica, I am sorry but you are staying here. It is too dangerous for you to be out there alone. You are also still healing, if a demon has Michael and if they can take on our eldest brother and not have any trouble, you would be no match for a demon like that."
Monica crossed her arms as she hated being treated like a child like that. She was no child and sure she was still learning how to be an angel, what made them think she wouldn't stand a chance against a demon? She looked back at her father as if asking for help as she was hoping that he would side with her on this one. Castiel turned to Gabriel and smiled.
"Actually that is a good idea; I think she should stay here. If she were to leave then that would place her into more danger. Monica, I know you want to help, but maybe you can research a demon that could have taken him. Maybe if you find the demon that perhaps could have taken Michael that would help us out. Then we might be able to find him faster."
Monica stood up as she turned and walked out. Gabriel sighed as he looked over at Raziel.
"Go talk to her, she listens to you. I swear she is like a teen angel, I remember when Raziel had been like that. He didn't want to listen to me when I told him to stay put. I think I had to heal him more times than I could count because he always ended up taking on something that was way too strong for him to handle."
Raziel looked up at his mother and shook his head, but a smile crossed his lips.
"Yeah but you enjoyed healing me. I know Monica is only half angel, but she could be help out in the field. Maybe you should give her a chance."
Gabriel shook his head.
"I know how you feel, but we need her to stay here. In fact tell her I want to talk to her in her room. I will be up there in a few minutes."
Raziel nodded as Gabriel was picking up a few things and he sighed. He knew what he was going to do and he headed to find Monica. She was pacing in the living room as Monica looked up seeing Raziel.
"Could you talk some sense into Gabriel please? I want to help him."
Raziel nodded as he took her hand gently.
"I know you do, mom said to go up to the room and he would be up there in a minute to talk to you. I did say something to mom a few minutes ago."
She nodded and smiled as she ran upstairs as Raziel watched her run upstairs as he sighed as Gabriel had something in his hand as he headed upstairs. With her door closed, he began to put sigils on her door and around the door. This would be so that way she could stay inside and not follow them. When he opened the door, Monica jumped up to run out the door as she stopped right at the door.
"Gabriel, what is going on? Why can't I get out?"
Gabriel sighed and shook his head.
"I am sorry, but I had to. Raziel had the same need to help even if it got him hurt. I am not going to have to watch another angel push themselves to almost death just to prove something. I know you are strong, but you are still healing from an angel blade. Monica I know you are upset, but this is for your own good."
He slowly walked away as Monica gasped as she dropped to her knees just at the door. She knew that Gabriel was good at making sure angels keep safe. Hearing all the angels leave as she walked over to the window and watched the angels leave as she sighed. She wanted to help them as she began to pace the room.
She then looked up as Crowley was standing in the doorway as he smirked with his arms crossed watching her.
"What's the matter love? You look like you are a caged animal, didn't get to go out to hunt with the other angels?"
She sighed and nodded. She sat down on the bed as she sighed and placed her face in her hands.
"Yes, Gabriel said that because I wasn't strong enough and I haven't healed enough I shouldn't be out there hunting with them. Even more if I was alone, he doesn't think I am strong enough alone."
Crowley walked in and smiled as he sat down on the bed beside her as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Well then it is a good thing uncle Crowley showed up isn't it? I can help you out, but of course a demon helping you out comes at a cost. I can make a deal with you to help you out of this room."
He pulled out a roll of parchment as she came over and grabbed the parchment to sign it.
"Where do I sign? I know the risks and I need to help them. I maybe able to at least find out where they are hiding Michael and help them out and tell them where he is at."
He smiled as he leaned against the wall.
"In order to sign it, you need to take one of your primary feathers and sign in your own blood. I have a small knife so that way you can draw some blood to sign it."
She summoned her wings as she reached up to pull out one of her long feathers and reached to take the knife from him. She pricked her finger and groaned as it healed too quickly and made a small slice on her arm as she dipped her feather in her own blood and signed it. Crowley grinned as he snapped his fingers and made a second copy appear and set it on the table.
"That way if they ask, they can see that we made a deal."
He reached for her arm as the door slowly opened as Gabriel poked his head in.
"Monica I am so sorry….Crowley what the hell are you doing here? Or should I say why are you here?"
His eyes narrowed as he made sure to break the sigils on the door and walked in and seen the contract as he gasped. Crowley waved.
"Sorry a deal is a deal."
He snapped his fingers and the two of them were gone as Gabriel cursed. He knew he should have made sure to demon proof the room, but he didn't think that Crowley would show up like that. He picked up the contract as he read it over and his eyes widened. There was one thing he knew is that demons used virgin's blood in spells and was very valuable. He knew that Crowley would be using her to get blood from her and make a fortune off of her. He cursed as he seen that the deal was for a week every month that he can come get her anytime he wanted.
He growled and walked out as Lucifer was waiting for him down the hallway as he looked at his youngest brother a bit confused. He walked over to Gabriel and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"I know you are upset about having to leave Monica here, but you don't have to be this upset."
Gabriel held out the contract that he had in his hand as he shook his head.
"I should have figured that Crowley would manage to find a way to talk her into a deal that she has no idea about. I bet he sweet talked her into making sure she agrees. I swear if I could I would smite him. You need to break that contract."
Lucifer sighed as he read over the contract and groaned as he smacked his forehead. He needed to talk to Crowley, but needed to find Michael too.
"I know you want to find her, but she is safe in hell for now. At least you know she won't get into trouble down there. We will go to find Michael and if we don't find him today, we will both go down there and ream him a new one for taking advantage of her."
Gabriel sighed and nodded as Lucifer was right and they would head out the door in search of Michael and then bring two angels home.
