A/n: I'm sorry these are becoming few and far between, but school's been taking up my time the past few weeks, and so has work, so I've been pretty busy lately. But I've been trying my hardest to keep this story going as well as I kept"Distrusted" going. But, you're just going to have to bear with me. --Amhalgaidh

Chapter Six:

As Angela brushed out her hair for bed, she looked thoughtfully into the mirror in front of her. She sighed and whispered, "Gabriel…" A second later, her mirror fogged with hot air, and a man stepped through it onto her vanity top. He was tall and very handsome with dark hair and eyes the colour of a sea after a storm. He wore a completely white men's evening suit, but no shoes. Two large, white feather wings framed his silhouette, protruding from his back between his shoulder blades. A soft white glow animated around him. He was the Archangel Gabriel. He stepped off the vanity and gently floated to the floor.

"Yes, Angel?" he asked, his voice light, airy, ethereal. "You called for me?"

Tears came to her eyes. It had been too long since she had seen another Angel. "Yes, Gabriel," she whispered. "I can't do this. I can't help these people." She sat on the edge of the bed and wiped away the tears.

He placed a hand on her cheek. His touch was cool and gentle. "Angel," he said softly. "You can help them. God believes in you. He will help you with your task. All you need do is to ask for His help. And He will provide it."

She looked up at him. "But, Gabriel, they have such faith in my abilities," she said, new tears coming to her eyes. "They believe I can do anything. They believe I can stop Dracula. I can't, Gabriel. No Angel can… Except you…"

"I will be with you, sweet Angel," he said, taking her hands and helping her to her feet. He wiped her tears away. "I will not abandon you to disaster and desolation. I cannot allow Dracula to take hold on you. You need to have faith. Not only in yourself and your abilities, but God as well. He will guide you."

"But I see no hope in this situation, Gabriel," she said. "If Dracula is killed, Mina will die as well. She was bitten by him. I cannot allow my Guarded such a Fate… I can't!"

"I know," he whispered. "Angel, if you do not guide them in this endeavour, they will not succeed. You must guide them. God commands it."
