Ok, so I decided to change the show a little. I got ONE review (thanks schizophrenic squirrel) but it was helpful. Usually there are the three angels that are on the show, and they often work together (Monica, Tess and Andrew). But after I got the review I decided to add in a twist. Schizophrenic squirrel gave me this information about the seven Archangels:

Gabriel: This is the angel to invoke to help with fertility problems; brings news.

Metatron: He is the angel to invoke when you seek spiritual guidance and teaching.

Michael: Stands for justice and springs to the defense of the weak and downtrodden. Helps defeat any terrifying elements that haunt your life

Raphael: restores health.

Requel: invoke him when seeking justice and the right course of action.

Saraquel: invoke when seeking forgiveness and peace of mind

Uriel: He will always 'tell it like it is'. Appeal to him when you feel mentally overwhelmed and confused.

I know she meant for me to use only one … but I couldn't help myself. Ok, on to the story!

Chapter Two: The holy competitors

Monica finds herself in a suburban neighborhood. A frightened looking teenage girl slinks in the shadows, making her way towards a beige house. The angel looks at the clock tower that she can see in the distance, it tells her that it is past three o'clock in the mourning.

"Hello." She says, advancing towards the figure in black.

"Screw off, I've had enough for one night." The girl jerks back roughly, scampering uneasily towards the side of the house. Monica watches her as she crawls in the basement window until a curtain flapping gently behind the child was all the evidence that anyone had ever been there. Suddenly she is not alone. Gabriel, Metatron, Michael, Raphael, Requel, Saraquel and Uriel are surrounding her. She rigidly stands her ground. The Archangels are only for big missions. Why are they here now? Monica is sure she is capable to handle this mission on her own.

"You might be, but the question is, will Mary be able to? She needs extra support. She can use everything we have to offer, you might not be enough." Uriel reads her thoughts. She shivers.

"Hey, I think I can take care of a lost teen by myself. If you don't remember, I handled that boy rather well (a/n I cant remember most of the episode. Just that Monica goes to a rave with a boy and gets high)." She smirks at the seven men standing in front of her.

"Not before you got yourself in trouble. If I remember clearly, you tampered in human substance first." Uriel replied again. Then Gabriel spoke up.

"We have been instructed to assist you in your mission. If you do not like it, then we shall do this on our own. Any questions?"

"Yes, it will be hard enough fitting one new person into her life, let alone eight. How do you think you are going to get close enough to change her life? Won't she notice a whole gang of new people trying to help her? She will try to resist, you know." Monica does not like this change. She has been working solo for years, every mission has been successful.

"That is why we will not disguise ourselves. In our past, hiding our identity does nothing for anybody. Since it is the way you tend to work, you may disguise yourself how you want." Metatron replies.

"I see."

"I am sure that you will see us in the future. At present we must part ways, goodbye Monica (a/n what's her last name?)." Requel says, and in the blink of an eye, as fast as they had appeared, they are gone.

Resentment courses through her body. Why were the Archangels here? She can handle this mission on her own. She has to save the girl before they do, Monica figures, then they won't bother me again. This is not about you, Monica, it is about the girl, Mary Ingram. She can hear Tess's voice in her head, clear as if she was right beside her. Monica had stopped working with Tess and Andrew years ago, but their teachings still linger in her mind.

"I need a coffee." She mutters, and walks down the street to find an open café.

I know the chapters of this story are way shorter than I usually write in any of my other stories but I want this one to move faster and I can write shorter chapters faster (duh) ok, so … you know, review! Or else I will send the Archangels to your house to see what is mentally wrong with you!
