Final chapter of this installment everyone. Maybe a sequel?
U. M. set the glasses of lemonade down on the side table she had brought out and sat down.
"Why are you here Gabriel?" she asked. Gabriel, sitting beside her, smirked.
"Just checking up on my favorite adopted daughter." She didn't comment. "I'm here to talk about the apocalypse."
She commented on that. "I know."
"And what do you think?"
"The world started with a storm, it will end with one. But I highly doubt your God will let his precious sons destroy his 'creation.' He will have a way to prevent it."
"You're probably right," Gabriel leaned back in his chair.
"I understand Michael hasn't been in heaven for awhile."
Gabriel jerked to the edge of his seat and glowered at her. "Just what are you planning?"
"Just my own safekeeping…and that of our families."
"How? By convincing my brother to fall in love with you? You have Dean."
"Oh come now Gabriel, you know better than that. He isn't just Dean."
"What you are doing is selfish. What you are going to do is wrong! Can you not think of yourself for once!"
Tears budded in her eyes, "Shut up! I have lasted through your torment long enough. I'm always the one who thinks about other people but when I think about myself, my troubles, even for one second you call me selfish! You have the nerve to call me selfish when you fled your family because of fighting! I didn't flee the abuse. So you have no right to call. Me. Selfish. All of us here are selfish creatures."
They sat in silence for a moment.
"I'm-"
"I'm going to make breakfast." She stood up and walked back into the house. "If you want to stay you can."
"I will…" Gabriel watched as the sun rised, had it really been that long? He buried his face in his hands and let out a strangled sound. "I'm sorry little Unna."
