Chapter 14

I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Gabriel appeared in a dark, abandoned warehouse and stared wide eyed at the scene. His twins and Div were inside of a holy fire circle, Carrie was tied to a pole, and Megan was inside a sigil circle.

Gabriel was pissed when the Demon inside Daken had blasted him to Oz but luckily, since he was an Arc Angel, he was able to get back to the house faster than most Angels. But then he saw that everyone was gone so he quickly tracked down the Demon to this old warehouse.

Five eyes were now locked on him. He gave then a reassuring smile but that soon faded as he saw flames encircle him, trapping him in yet another holy fire circle. Damn it, why did he always fall for that?

He turned around to see Daken, well, the Demon inside Daken.

"Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel. Glad you came." He said with a devilish smile that only someone of pure evil could make.

"Yeah, wouldn't miss this party for the world." Gabriel joked. "But what kind of dumbass doesn't Angel proof there hideout?"

"Oh, I knew you would come looking for them. I wanted you to be here to witness everything unfold." The Demon said.

Gabriel scowled. If this demon son of a bitch hurt any one of them, he would torture him then smite him for good measure.

"Who are you?" Gabriel asked but it was more of a demand then a question.

"My names Warren. Daken here-," He looked down at the body of he was inhabiting. "When he was little he killed me. Accidently of course, but still. I had four more good years left and he ended it within seconds." Warren's face quickly turned red and his eyes narrowed on the Arc Angel.

"You sold your soul, didn't you? Whatcha do it for? A Klondike Bar?" Gabriel asked jokingly.

Warren frowned at him. "I don't need to explain myself to you." He said and started fiddling with a knife in his hand.

Gabriel glared at him. It was time to get down to the point. "I know you want Megan, but why did you take all of us?" he asked, not sure if he wanted to know the answer.

Warren let out a small laugh and walked over to Megan. "You think I want her?"

Gabriel's mouth dropped open for a second. He didn't want Megan? Then who did he want?

Warren walked over to Carrie. "No, it's your lover I want." He said and Gabriel grew angrier. "Megan, she's just a plus."

"What do you want her for? She didn't do anything. And I swear, if you do anything to her I will rip you out of mini Michael's body and throw you back down into the pit where you can suffer." Gabriel growled, his face now red with anger.

Gabriel saw Warren grin. "Oh, it's not just me who wants her. I know that Rylie and his little gang stopped by and for the same reasons as me. He probably would have gotten her too if it wasn't for Castiel crashing the party." Gabriel growled. He was avoiding the question.

"I said, what do you want her for?" he asked through gritted teeth.

Warrens grin was now gone. "I want you unborn child dead."

Those words sent an icy chill down the Angel's spine. But the Demon didn't know that she miscarried? Gabriel decided that it would be best not to tell him until he got the full story. But his heart sank when he saw the tears in Carrie's eyes. He hated seeing her hurt.

"Why?" was all he asked. He gave looks to everyone in the room telling them not to tell him until it was necessary.

"Because Lucifer wants to use her to escape his cage!" Warren yelled, as if angry by the thought.

Gabriel just gaped at him. Wha-what? How was that-, he couldn't-, why-? Millions of thoughts ran through Gabriel head, each one more disturbing than the other.

Warren gave him a look. "I can tell you're confused. Let me explain it for you dumbasses." Warren walked over to Carrie and pointed the knife at her stomach. "You see, Lucifer has learned some tricks while in the cage. He wants to pull your unborn daughter from Earth and down to the pit. Very tricky, yes, but it is possible. He wants to basically raise her in Hell so he can use her to escape from the inside out. Granted it would have been easier to take a normal human baby from some random stranger but he knows that Nephilim are powerful and you just helped him out by knocking up this chick. And once I found you guys I figured I'd just take the whole lot of you. Get you all out of the way."

Gabriel stared at him, stunned. If his daughter was already gone that meant…she was in Hell. With Lucifer. How could that dick do that? His own brother's daughter! Gabriel fought back the urge to punch the ground with his bare fists. He had to keep cool a bit longer so he could figure a way out of here.

The Angel then turned his attention back to Carrie, who was now sobbing. Gabriel sighed. There was one question that still had to be asked. "Why do you want to kill her if she is going to help get your master out?"

"Because we Demons know that Lucy has gotten weak in his time in the cage with Michael. Constant fighting…it has worn him down. And if he gets out of the cage and fights Michael he will lose. That means that all of us Demons are dead once Michael has won. Killing the kid is the only way to make sure that never happens." Warren explained, moving the knife closer to Carrie's stomach.

"Your too late, jackass." Gabriel said and saw Warren look at him with confusion.

"What?" he asked as he moved away from Carrie.

"Lucifer already has her." He said and those words stung as they came out of his mouth. His own daughter, just a baby, living in the cage with the Devil.

"Damn it!" The Demon yelled but then quickly put himself back together. "Fine. At least I can have the pleasure of killing all of you."

Gabriel quickly tried thinking of a plan but his eyes wandered over to Megan, who seemed to already have one. Looks like Mr. Demon-ass forgot to check Megan for any weapons. The Arc Angel watched as Megan scratched out a part of the sigil that was containing her with a knife and run at Warren. Instead of doing the 'take out of body then send back to Hell' thing that Megan usually did, she put a hand on his stomach and gold light flashed from his eyes and mouth, killing him.

She quickly caught Daken before he hit the ground and put him down gently. Then she walked over to Carrie and untied her. She then put out the holy fires with one thought. Gabriel watched as she gave a quick hug to Carrie, who was sobbing. Gabriel was frozen in his spot, staring at the unconscious Daken.

He looked up when Megan pulled him into a hug. "I'm so sorry." She said and then turned back to Daken.

Gabriel looked back at his kids and niece. The twins were silent, tears streaming down there eyes. But Div, she almost looked…satisfied? Gabriel shrugged it off, guessing she was just happy that none of them were killed.

Carrie looked at him. "If she's down there…does that mean she's still alive?" she asked.

Gabriel thought it over then said, "Yes."

"Then that means we can get her." Danny said, trying to looking manly again.

"That's impossible." Div said, staring into space.

That's when Megan stepped up. "Not exactly. We do have the key to Lucy's cage." Gabriel saw her point to the Horsemen rings that were around her neck in a necklace. She had to wear them so that she wouldn't die. But that was a long story. He needed to focus on the plan that seemed to be brewing inside of Megan's head.

"We can open the cage then one of us can go down there and get her back." Megan said, still crouching besides Daken.

"That's a suicide mission." Div said, glaring at her.

"Well, it's the only plan we've got." Megan said. "Come on, we can talk about this more when we get back home. Daken needs to rest on something that isn't hard floor."

Gabriel nodded and they all vanished at the snap of his fingers.
