YOU BUILD ME UP, YOU BREAK ME DOWN-25

Shock. Disbelief. Horror. Panic. Terror. Grief.

Gabriella sat there, unmoving. In front of her lay the body of the person she had pledged her mind, body and soul to.

She was lost- She did not know what to do. She had been looking desperately for Michael since the past couple of hours. She had no idea when this had happened. Tears fell from her eyes continuously as she stroked Michael's hair gently. With her other hand, she firmly gripped his right hand. She bit down on her lip as she looked at him.

He looked so peaceful. He was at rest at last.

Tears were flowing down her cheek incessantly. Gabriella had to know what had happened. She had to avenge his death. But how to know what had happened?

Her eyes fell upon something stuck into the sword's side. She gently yanked it out as she stared at in horror. Joshua's words ran through her mind.

"One of the primary things taught to an angel is that an honourable death should be given to the opponent. If the opponent is worthy enough, leave behind a keepsake near the corpse so that it is marked that you had the privilege of fighting such a soldier."

A hiss escaped Gabriella's mouth as she stood up, shaking. She took a few steps back before running out of there.

The jet black feather fell down to the ground slowly.

Dean sat in the room, face in his hands. He had been desperately waiting for Cas ever since he had left. True to their word, they had not left the room. However, all of them were worried to death.

Cas had to be OK. Nothing could have happened to him- right?

The door opened slowly as Dean jumped to his feet. Cas walked in, slightly injured- there was s deep gash across his cheek but otherwise he was alright.

"Oh Thank God you're alive!"

Dean moved over and tightly hugged him. Castiel returned the hug, first hesitantly and then warmly. They broke apart as Dean smiled. Cas copied this smile and said- "Don't worry Dean- I won't leave you alone so easily."

An angel opened the door and entered. Castiel looked at him. The angel said- "The war is over. Hell has surrendered on being outnumbered. There was a minor explosion in Upper Eden which killed a dozen angels. There was no major death except-"

He bowed down his head and bit his li. Cas cocked his head to one side and turned serious. He asked- "Except who? Who died?"

"Arch... Archangel..." The angel stammered, "Archangel Michael."

Cas and Dean looked at each other, shocked, before opening the door and running as fast as they could.

"OK so except for Gaby's condition what are you so worried about," asked Dean as he and Cas neared Eden.

Cas took a deep breath and said- "There are 4 such angels in Heaven who, under extreme circumstances, can go to extremes in their concerned specialty. These specialties lay dormant until a specific point when they are roused due to extreme moods. Any guesses who they are?"

Dean shrugged- "Archangels?"

Cas shook his head and continued- "They are the Creations. Stefan- He's the Angel of War. Louisiana is the Angel of Well-Being. Lilith is the Angel of Temptations. Gabriella..."

Dean frowned and asked- "Gabriella is the Angel of what?"

Cas sighed- "Gabriella is the Angel of Death and Destruction."

Dean gasped as he understood Castiel's fear. Gabriella had to be stopped before she did anything ghastly.

Gabriella opened the tent's entrance as she strode in. Many of the Healers cowered in fear and looked at each other helplessly.

Gabriella ignored them all as she moved to the innermost chamber. Miriam turned back quickly as she heard the door open roughly. She halted as her eyes fell on Gabriella.

She hissed- "Where is he?"

Miriam moved forward and said- "Gibs why are you..."

"I swear to God Mir tell me or else..." Gabriella trailed off as her eyes met Miriam's. They weren't the usually ice-blue. They were blood red in colour. She trembled as she pointed out to the back. Gabriella turned behind and ran out, leaving Miriam behind, shaken.

The door to the Church was pushed open. Gabriella moved through the passage, eyes focused ahead.

Was it really her?

Gabriella was dressed in a jet black dress, her red-black wings gone. In place of them were 3 pair of jet black wings. Her blood red eyes were kohl- rimmed and she had her hand on her scabbard.

Each step down that aisle was like hell.

She hissed out in a voice voice alien to her.

"Looks Like You Really Took Me Seriously When I Asked You To Shock The Freaking Hell Out Of Me Again."

She grabbed his shirt and roughly pulled him up.

"WHAT HAD HE DONE TO YOU THAT YOU HAD TO KILL HIM?"

He did not even look up once, sobbing as he looked down at the ground. Gabriella threw him down and shouted- "THIS WAS THE CHURCH WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET MARRIED!"

He bowed down his head and continued to cry. She punched his jaw hard as he fell back a few feet. She looked at him- "THE ONLY TIME I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE WALKED DOWN THIS AISLE HAD TO BE ON MY WEDDING DAY- NOT TO AVENGE MY DEAD FIANCÉ."

She kicked him hard as she spat out, tears flowing down her eyes- "THIS SPOT WHERE YOU LIE IS WHERE HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM!"

She was crying by now as she glared at him, shaking.

"THIS WAS THE EXACT SPOT WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BECOME HIS WIFE!"

She sunk to knees as tears flowed down her face incessantly. She sobbed- "YOU DESTROYED MY LIFE LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR! YOU DESTROYED MY LIFE YOU BASTARD!"

Her hand gripped the handle of her sword as she pulled it out of the casing and stood up.

"I am going to kill you so bad Lucifer," she hissed, "that your soul will not even get place in Purgatory."

She raised the sword high up in the air as he bowed down his head, waiting for his end. Suddenly, Gabriella found herself immobilised and heard a voice from behind her.

"Drop the sword Gabriella."

"Father?"

God moved through the church as he whispered- "Drop the sword child." He gingerly kept a hand on her shoulder as the sword fell down with a clank. Gabriella sank to her knees, weeping. He kept a hand on her head and stroked her hair as she sobbed.

"Go away child. Just leave this church." She choked out- "Will he be killed?" God muttered- "Death won't solve anything here Gabriella. Two wrongs don't make a right."

Gabriella laughed- "He killed the only Son who was truly faithful to you and you don't just care do you?" God sighed. She said- "Fine- Don't do it. Make him the new Viceroy for all I Freaking care. You and your justice."

She stood up, trembling. He whispered to himself- "The Viceroy shall be re-instated after 5 years."

Gabriella turned to Lucifer and hissed- "No one else may know but you and I will know the truth. You widowed me and orphaned two beautiful children. Live with that O Great Morningstar."

He looked up, shocked. She laughed- "Yeah-Your brother's children. Live with that guilt."

She turned back and stormed off, leaving Lucifer behind, dazed.

Gabriella opened the Church door as she walked out. She saw a dazed Dean standing in front of her. He had heard everything.

She looked at him with a serious expression before she burst into tears as Dean hugged her tight, pacifying her.
