* please review, let me know what you think so far! *

Connor, Murphy and Romeo stood in the center of a big yard with their guns up and pointed at the ten men that walked towards them. Murphy glanced into the sky. They hadn't heard from or seen the either of the angels since she left his room. The scene in front of them seemed to slow down as a gust of wind kicked up and a loud sound could be heard. All the men, on both sides, looked up into the sky. Gabriel and Gabriella slammed down the heavens and into the ground, sending dirt and grass flying. The boys took their shots while the men were distracted. Gabriella faced them as soon as all ten were dead.

" The demons are close. You must stay in your spots. I have place a circle of protection around you but if you leave it, you will be fair game for them." She said. Gabriel was scanning the area before them.

" Gabriella!" He called. " They are coming!"

" Because of your involvement with us, you will see them demons, they will draw to you to hurt us. Please, stay here until it is done." She pleaded. The boys eyes shifted behind her and she knew the demons were coming. " Murphy," He looked at her then. " Please." He frowned and she could see he was still angry with her.

" Gabriella!" Gabriel called. She turned and walked to her brother.

At the same time, both angels clasped their hands together. When they pulled them away, each had a sword of fire. Their wings slowly slide out of their back. They looked at each other and smiled slightly. Gabriel raised his fist and Gabriella hit it with her own. They faced the coming demons in a fight stance, legs spread apart, one arm out in front of them, palm up. Their swords held in the air.

Beyond the angels, the boys saw what looked like little children running towards them but the closer they got to the twins, the more the boys could see how unlike children they were. They had black eyes, their mouths open and filled with sharp fangs. They hissed as they meant the angels. But Gabriel and Gabriella just stood their ground.

As soon as the wave of demon children hit them, the angels started fighting. They were swing their swords, cutting them done, dodging, taking, and giving hits. Whenever they hit a demon, there was a flash of light before the demon turned to ash. Connor, Murphy, and Romeo watched the fighting with wide eyes. Romeo was repeating the Lord's pray to himself.

Suddenly, Gabriella glanced over her shoulder. She wanted to make sure they were staying where she told them to but she saw a little demon hurrying over to them. She turned away from them and jumped into the air. Murphy watched as she sailed backwards through the air. She flipped around and landed directly in front of them, her back to them. Her wings shuddered with her landing and she swung her sword around, taking down the demon.

" Gabriella, down!" Gabriel shouted. She dropped to her hands and knees as her brother started running towards her. When he stepped onto her back, Gabriella stood up to give him the extra lift he needed to fly over the boys and take down the demon trying to creep up behind them. The twin angels grinned at each other before taking off again.

It didn't take long before they had finished cutting down all the demons. Both angels were covered in black blood and panting as the last demon fell. They weren't standing by each other but turned to smile at one another. Both swords disappeared at the same time. Gabriella's pretty face was covered with sweat and black gore but she grinned and took off to her brother. She jumped into the air and Gabriel's laugh was loud. He caught his sister and swung her around, his arms locked around her waist. When he set her down, Gabriella started towards Connor, Murphy, and Romeo.

" Gabriella!" Gabriel's voice was laced with fear.

It rang out at the same time as the boys saw a iron rod come flying through Gabriella's stomach. She stopped walking and slowly looked down. Gabriel ran towards her and grabbed the demon that stabbed her. He ripped the demon's head off and threw it away. Murphy watched in horror as she sank to her knees. The boys still couldn't move. She looked up at them a second before her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell to her side.

" Gabriella, no!" Gabriel yelled as he grabbed her. Suddenly Connor, Murphy, and Romeo could move and they dropped to their knees around her. " Take it out of her, please!" Gabriel said. " I can not touch it!' Connor and Murphy exchanged glances before they both grabbed the end sticking out of her stomach. They pulled and slowly it slipped out of Gabriella. Murphy threw it behind him as Gabriel gathered her in his arms.

" Holy shit," Romeo said. " What can we do? Should we call Father Capri?" He asked. Gabriel was rocking as he started to cry. Murphy was shocked by his tears. They were like liquid gold coming from his eyes, the same gold he found on his window.

" Michael!" Gabriel screamed. " Michael, please!" He dropped his head to Gabriella's whose face had gone completely pale. " Oh God, please, no!" Gabriel started rocking her. He had one hand in her hair. Murphy reached out to touch Gabriella's arm but Gabriel yanked her away from him. " Don't touch her! She's fine!" He snapped.

Romeo patted Connor's arm and pointed behind Gabriel. A fog started rolling towards them. As they watched, the fog started to take shapes. A few dozen warrior angels were walking towards them. They all had black wings and the girls were dressed as Gabriella was, the black tank top and tight shorts. The men were dressed like Gabriel, shirtless, black pants and swords strapped to their chests and backs. In the center of them, towering above them all, was a black haired angel with a beautiful face. While the other angels dropped to their one knee, this angel continued to come forward. It didn't take long before he reached Gabriel and Gabriella. He placed his hand on Gabriel's shoulder.

" She is gone, my brother." His voice was deep and baritone. Gabriel refused to look at him. He kept holding her to him and crying. Gabriel shook his head. Murphy's heart seized up by Michael's words.

" No, Michael, please!" He begged. " I can not be without my sister, please bring her back! Please!"

" Gabriel, you know that I can not do that. She was struck by iron." Michael came Gabriel's side and sat on his knees. " Gabriella was one of my best warriors."

" There isn't anything ye can do?" Connor asked. Michael's dark, deep blue eyes turned to the boys for the first time.

" There is." Michael said. Everyone was quiet for a few minutes before Gabriel spoke again.

" Do it,." He said. Michael looked at him. " Make her human." Gabriel said. Murphy and Connor glanced at each other.

" Are you sure, my brother?"

" Will she be happy?" Gabriel asked.

" She will marry and have children, even one set of twins. She will see her grandchildren. She will live a happy long life with her mate and her children." Michael said.

" Change her, please." Gabriel said.
