Bela stumbles back in surprise. Gabriel? She struggles to remember where she has heard that name before. She's not disappointed when nothing comes to mind. With the pain that's been inflicted on her, she's amazed she can still think properly. Even though she knows she's safe, when Gabriel's arm reaches out to steady her, she flinches. "I apologize Bela, I should have known you would still be wary." Gabriel says.

"I'm not in hell. Why did you take me out? What are you? "She asks and he shakes his head. "Relax Bela. I will explain all, you just have to relax" He says by means of explanation. She still doesn't trust him.

"I am an angel. Well an angel in the witness protection but hey, still an angel" Gabriel replies with that smirk that she has already become irritated with, even though it's been less than an hour. She doesn't get past the word Angel before her mind catches up to his words. "A-an Angel? There is no such thing" Bela replies and mentally pats herself on the back because she only stuttered once. But while she is convincing herself that there is no such thing, She watches Gabriel walk above three feet and face her, so that his back is to the moon. But before she can open her mouth to repeat what she just said, a movement catches her eye and she turns slightly to the right and Bela's jaw slightly drops as Gabriel opens his wings and stretches them so far that she's sure they will cover the moon and plunge them into darkness, and the only word that comes immediately to her lips and blurts out is "Holy Shit." And wouldn't you know it. The smirk is back.

After assuring herself that she's not crazy and that his is in fact an angel, the only thing Bela can say to Gabriel is "Why Me? Why go through all the trouble to bring me back. I'm nothing but a thief, a traitor. I sold Sam and Dean out to Hendrickson!" She waits for him to respond while ignoring the funny clench thing her stomach does when she says Dean's name. "Thief, traitor that is who you used to be, Bela. It is not who you have to be now." She watches as he moves to stand in front of her and his wings disappear. And he just looks like an ordinary person again, with beautiful eyes and an annoying smirk. "You have a chance to be someone new, someone that can change things. You just have to let it happen" He replies and you know what? She starts believing him.

Bela died alone in a motel room that had ugly wallpaper and a bed with squeaky springs. She fought her way back to this world, through the dirt and weeds that held her coffin. The girl she was, Bela Talbot. She wants her to be a memory, a memory of a woman who was shallow, cruel and let's be honest. A bitch. She remembers that girl. She remembers her life, the million dollar payoffs from things she'd steal from hunters who were too stupid to properly protect their belongings. She remembers that, for how her life glittered. How much it shone. She still died alone. She knows immediately that she doesn't want her past to be the last thing she ever does on this earth. And with this new life, Bela swears to never go back to being that girl. And she again wonders if Gabriel can read her mind, because he's looking at her with this smile on his face that she swears reaches his eyes, and she knows. She knows that whatever he needs from her. She'll do it. Because he gave her something that she desperately needed. A second chance.

Sorry about the shortness, I promise as I get back into the feel of writing, I'll be making the chapters a lot longer that they are now. Bela won't be meeting the Winchester boys for a bit, but she will be busy elsewhere. I toyed with the idea of having chapters with Gabriel's POV. But I don't think I could pull them off right. But I might surprise myself and try to write a paragraph of his POV. Anyways, Thanks for reading and if you have feedback, I would love to read it.
