Not Anymore
A week after his beloved brother betrayed their father and fought Michael, Gabriel found himself at the site where it all ended.
He sat at the edge of a gaping hole, legs dangling on the edge. The air was still heavy with Michael's residual Grace, showing just how much power he had used up in order to banish Lucifer out of their home. It made Gabriel shiver, but for some reason, his will kept him rooted to the spot. A flutter of wings caught his attention, and he lazily moved his gaze to his eldest brother.
Michael was giving him that calculating look, but Gabriel refused to acknowledge his presence any further. An accusing silence quickly settled between them, preventing any word to be exchanged. He returned his attention to the view below, and Michael gave a dissatisfied sigh before another flutter of wings signaled his departure.
He let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding. Somehow he had a feeling why Michael insisted on seeking him out every few hours. Ever since Lucifer's betrayal, nearly every angel in the garrison was expecting him to turn against them as well, but the truth was, even he didn't know exactly what was going on until he saw Michael and Lucifer clawing at each other with his own eyes.
"Luci? Luci, STOP! Micheal, what are you doing?"
The air around him grew uncomfortably cold, and he shivered, wrapping his wings tighter around his body.
"Gabriel get back, you fool!"
"Luci! Don't do this, please!"
For a split second, he caught his brother's eyes, and in it, he saw guilt, anguish and pain. Gabriel's heart swelled, it wasn't too late…
But at that very moment, Michael thrust his blade into Lucfier's chest.
Gabriel bit his lips, a futile attempt to keep the sobs at bay. Tears cascaded down his cheeks and he rubbed at them with his sleeve.
'Angels aren't supposed to cry,' a voice inside him chastised.
"I don't care," he hissed, and pushed himself off the edge, into the abyss.
I'm not an angel anymore.
Uhh..yes. Well, I have no explanation for this other than: I HAVE GONE ABSOLUTELY MAD WITH RAGE, ANGST AND TEENAGE DRAMA.
