Read and Review? Thanks for reading!
"...Carthage, Missouri?" Bela repeated. She repeats it again. Nope. Not remembering ever hearing of that city. Gabriel just laughs at her confusion calling her cute. Which results in Amabiel hitting him. Yelling at him to focus. Which makes Gabriel whine "Amaa. That hurt" Which in turn makes Bela laugh. Amabiel is one angel that Bela really likes. When she's not freaking out about what Lucifer's doing or what Michaels doing. She's pretty awesome.
Bela sighed, and then looked at the clock. 3:04 was staring back at her in bright red letters. God she really hated that clock. They've been going through battle plans all night. Catching her sigh. Anna looks at Bela. Concern flashing over her face. "Bela. Why don't you go to bed?" No, I'm quite alright Anna. After all. Discussing battle plans is part of saving the world right? I should at least put some of Gabriel's hard work to good use. After all. He did practically grope me out of hell." Bela replies with a shrug and a small smile. Gabriel looks vaguely offended, and Assasiel smothers a smile. It felt so good to see Gabriel get put in his place. Even if it was some human that did it.
When Sachiel walks in an hour later. He puts a clothed bundle on the counter. Gabriel turns around to look down at it. Astonishment gracing his features. When Sachiel speaks, the words that come out of his mouth are ones that Bela never expected. "I have The Colt."
XxXxXx
Bela reached toward to bundle. But stopped. The last time she had seen that gun. She had given it to Crowley. A sort of 'Go eff yourself' present to Lilith. She wasn't surprised that Crowley had given it up. He would do anything for the right price. What surprised her was that the angels wanted it. So into her thoughts she didn't notice that Anna has unwrapped it. And is picking it up. "So this is it. The Colt. Legend is way more impressive than The Gun itself. Imagine that." Assasiel replies with a sneer.
"Assasiel. Just shut the hell up for once okay? Or can you like not do that?" Anna spits at Assasiel. Bela notices the room goes suddenly quiet. "I know it's hard for you. But can you manage just once. Mmkay?"
Assasiel stares at her coldly. "Why should I listen to you? You deserted us Anael. When I needed you there. You weren't there!. You were too busy playing human to even care. To care that by ripping your grace out and falling that you didn't just leave heaven. You left us! You left me!. You know what. I don't care anymore. I'm done. Have fun fighting Lucifer!" and with those words Assasiel stormed out. With Anna right behind her. And Bela just stared at her retreating back, remembering what Anna said last night. She looked at Bela. And took a deep breath. When she resumed talking. Her voice had a quiver in it. "They were my friends Bela. Even though I rebelled. They were still my sisters and brothers. I loved them so much and when I fell. I lost them all. And now?. Michael's making kindling out of them.
"Well. That was fun." Gabriel mused. "I just can't wait to do that again."
"Gabriel. Just stop." Amabiel quietly said. "Let's just all calm down and focus on Carthage. Okay?" And they did.
It was later that night that Bela finally got a moment to herself. Which made it perfect that Gabriel would ruin it. "Hey Sweetcheeks" "Gabriel. Stop calling me that."Bela automatically replied. "Honestly. It's like a habit. See how much you can annoy the human. Well. I'm annoyed. Congrats. You won!" Bela sarcastically replied. But instead of seeing the smirk she's so used to on his face. He just gives a half smile. And quietly says "Kay Bela." And gets up. "Gabriel." She reached out and grabs his arm. "what's wrong?" She tugs on him so he sits back down. He just gives her another sad smile. "It's nothing Bela. Just family stuff." "So… I gotta ask…" Bela began after a few minutes of silence. "What happened between us? "Gabriel cut in. His voice bitter. "Yeah. I mean I get it if you can't tell me." Bela replied.
She should really stop being so nosy. "No..It's okay Bels. When I fell. Left. Quit. Whatever works. When I left heaven Bela. I was so sick and tired of seeing my brothers going at each other's throats. I couldn't bear it. You know." He stops and shakes his head. Almost like he's shaking free the memories. "'When I left. I didn't tell anyone. I just didn't' care anymore. I was done. Done with everything. And now? Now it's happening all over again. I literally have to watch my brothers kill each other. How is that fair Bela?" Gabriel asks. "It's not." She says moving closer to him. "I wish that this didn't happen. I hate that everyone has to fight again. I really do." She reaches over and grabs his hand. "I'm not saying it's going to be okay Gabe. But we're gonna get through this. I promise"
Later, when everyone had gone to their rooms or wherever angels go at night. Bela was standing at her window. Counting the stars. When she was little. She used to do that. After her father left. And her mother looked at her like she was disgusted with her. She would have a shower. Scrub herself until she was raw. Then she would go outside. And just count them. Wishing every night to be in a difference place. Away from this. And now. 12 years later. She still counts them.
When she feels someone's presence behind her. She doesn't do anything. Just continues watching the stars. She jumps slightly when she feels someone wrap their arms around her. She thinks this is the first actual contact she's had since she was brought back. And you know what. She's okay.
She knows it's Gabriel before he even opens his mouth. Just to say that one word. "Thanks."
Gabriel's POV.
He was pissed. Okay maybe pissed was a too gentle word. He was furious. Out of all the things his stupid brothers had to do. This honestly took the cake. And that's saying something. He vaguely remembers Michael painting Lucifer's wings pink. He loses his smirk at the memory. He misses them. They might be stupid idiots. But they're still his brothers. Falling from heaven was easy. But leaving his brothers behind? That was hard. Ugh. Enough of that. He focuses back to the present. Amabiel is going through the plans. Carthage. Really?. Out of all the towns Lucy could've picked. He picked that one. To raise Death. Big daddy reaper.
Can he get a told you so please?. Totally been calling this. Ask Anna. So now. He has to stop Lucy from doing something that would really mess up this world. Not like it's not messed up anyways. Anyways. Talking with Amabiel. (He always did like her). They've decided to go tomorrow. Strike when the irons hot and all that. Oh and idiot #1 and #2 are going as well. And bringing his little bro Castiel along with him. He really had to hand it to them. Stupidity comes and goes but this? This is the highest. Going after his brother. His archangel brother. With no weapons?
He's not surprised when Assasiel and Anna have their little catfight. They were best friends in the Garrison. But apparently falling from heaven and ripping out your grace can ruin a friendship. Huh. Who knew?
After cementing the plan to go pay Lucy a visit tomorrow. He was stopped b Sachiel. Who did not look impressed. Hmm. Maybe a candy bar could fix it? He laughed at the thought. Oops. Sach looks more pissed. If that's possible "Gabriel. " And that's all he has to say. He knows it's bad.
Three hours later.
Yeah. It's bad. He forgot how loud Sach could be. Gonna be kinda impossible now. Honestly. It's like he's the first Archangel to ever rebel. Oh wait.
Meh. He's had worse. Speaking of someone's who had it bad. He spots Bela and walks over to her. "Hey Sweetcheeks" He says, loud enough so that he can see her eye twitch. Honestly. If he wasn't in such a bad mood. He'd smirk.
"Gabriel. Stop calling me that."He hears her reply. It's almost automatic these days. He opens his mouth to comment but she continues "Honestly. It's like a habit. See how much you can annoy the human. Well. I'm annoyed. Congrats. You won!" She finishes, and man she looks pissed. Shouldn't bother her. So he gives her a smile. Accepts that they're both in crappy moods and goes to get up. He's really not expecting her to talk let alone push him back into the chair. Man she's way stronger than she looks. When she starts talking. She just sounds so genuine that he doesn't even know why he did it. But he confides in her, he tells her everything. About what he felt when he saw his brothers fighting. What he felt when he fell. Honestly. It's the most he's ever talked about his feelings. He shakes his head. Doesn't want to get into the memories of anything. And you know what. Her little pep talk. Actually worked. Knowing that she's there. Kinda makes him feel better. He'd never admit it out loud. But he's glad he pulled her out of there. She's way too good for it. And yeah he knows. He knows what she did to get in there. Making a deal with Lilith isn't all that smart. But he knew she couldn't do anything else. To be honest. He was kind of glad she did it. People like that make him sick. And people who just stand by and watch it make him even sicker.
After she excuses herself for bed. He knows she's not going to sleep for at least a few hours. So he quietly walks into her room. Staring at stars? Honestly he's never seen the joy of doing that. But whatever. Her choice. He knows what he's about to do could go really good or really bad. So He's leaning towards the first one. When he comes up behind her and slowly wraps his arms around her. She jumps, startled. But that's it and he knows she's not going to kick his ass. Even though technically she never could. Hello. Trickster. He thinks of a million words to say. But the only one that comes out is a quiet "Thanks" And he knows she knows exactly what he's thanking her for.
XxXxXxX
Phew. I've never written for Gabriel. So tell me how I did? Because of the long wait. Again sorry about that. I'm back in the writing mood and hopefully I'll stay like that. I'm going to try to have a new chapter every week. But next week's might be a little late. My grandpa's funeral is next week and I just don't know if I'll be able to write. I might just do chapter's 7 and 8 in the next few days.
I decided to give you guys two chapters. Hope you enjoyed them.
Next Chapter: The Angels + Bela go to Missouri. Where Bela meets up with someone from her past.
Anyways. Enough of me rambling.
Thanks for reading. Also again. If you see any mistakes let me know. I'll fix them. Also thanks again to the reviewers. You guys made me smile reading them c:
