I sat on the porch, watching the stars flickering in the sky and the trees swaying and rustled in the night air. Everything was peaceful until Phenex disturbed it.

"Hey, aren't you getting just a bit cold out here?" I heard him say as he sat in the chair next to me.

"No, it's soothing." I replied, shutting my eyes and taking in a big breath, exhaling slowly.

"Soothing?" He said, tilting his head, not understanding what I meant.

"It's soothing because the last week or so I have been experienced to things that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life…however long that will be." I said carelessly, slouching in my chair.

Phenex nodded. "Not knowing what to thin or feel after being experienced to such things is quite common," he said, looking at me. "I would understand how this is peaceful." His eyes seemed to shine in a way that had me quirking an eyebrow.

"What are you looking at?" I asked.

"Nothing, don't worry." He said, trying to hide a wide grin.

"Aaaaahh, you're so infuriating." I groaned, standing up and about to walk inside until I felt Phenex's hand on my arm. It gave me chills that ran through my body. I turned around and wondered why he was touching me.

"Stay here with me. Please. Just for a little while?" He gave me this look, kind of like a puppy eyes.

I thought for a few minutes before making a decision. "If I stay with you, will you tell me why you were looking at me?" I questioned.

"Ok, fine I'll tell you." He said, looking worried. I waited for several minutes for him to start telling me what he had been previously thinking. "Ah, I don't feel well. I'm going for a shower." I blinked and then he was gone.

Phenex was trying to escape something and whatever that something was I was extremely anxious to find out.

My wings ached from the long distance I had to fly. I was weak, tired and needed rest. As of immediately it had been four days since I last saw her beautiful face. I had grave fears for what I may walk into when I get home. The fears weighs very heavy on my shoulders. I guess what I am admitting is I am scared. I'm not scared of what I'll do, but I am scared for what Faith might do.

Phenex has great power over her. So do I but in a different aspect than he. Faith acts different to each of us. With me she is tranquil, free spirited & alive. But with Phenex she is conflicted, tense and reluctant. I have just reached her house, landing on the veranda, the cool night air escaping from under my wings.

"Oh my god! Izac!" Faith screeched as she ran into me, hugging me and kissing me gently and containing a tight grip on my shirt.

I needed to get out of here. Oh, do I so need to get out of here.

"You're not getting out of here, for the millionth time! So stop trying!" Lamia said as she walked over, sitting on my legs and grinning widely. "Ah Gabriel, why are you so determined to get out of here, don't you like spending time with me?" She asked, playing with my hair and tracing the shape of my lips. Her hands where freezing cold and they felt like the Antarctic, freezing, sub zero and can kill.

"No, why would I like to spend my time with a cold heartless bitch who is unemotional and doesn't give a shit about anyone else but herself." I snapped.

She coughed. "Have you ever thought why I am like this?" She laughed.

"No, never bothered to waste my time!"

"I wasn't always like this you know," she frowned. "I wasn't always a cold heartless bitch, I was once nice but that all changed when I fell in love Balan. He hurt me in many ways I could never forget." Amazingly, a tear dribbled down her face. "He tried to kill me and my brother. I could no longer take his shit. His insecurities damaged me and I was driven to kill him. I have never stopped loving him, though, even if I killed him."

"That would be extremely hard to live with, y'know, the guilt." I said, trying my absolute hardest to be sympathetic.

"Yeah it is, I feel so alone, and that's why I do evil. I feel week and useless but when I commit crimes of evil I feel powerful and useful. All those crimes I have done in my 1000 years of being evil I never wanted to but something inside of me made me."

She frowned, suddenly Lamia's face screwed up as if she were in excruciating pain. Her eyes flickered as the pain clearly was surging through her body. A faint orange light flickered and blood within the stab wound seeped out. She screamed in pain, whimpering and gasping for breath.

Her eyes began to drift shut, the bright orange silhouette of her skeletal features shining through the skin. She was gone before she hit the ground, lying there dead, finally out of the way. Heaven would now have less work to do, less running around trying to prevent the havoc she caused and trying to fix it.

A figure stepped out from the black and belive me when I say this, my eyes nearly fell out of my head. I couldn't believe my eyes, literally. Castiel stood there before me, clutching a blade tightly in his grasp.

"Castiel!" I gasped. I couldn't believe it was my baby brother. I haven't seen him for centuries and it was a relief that he was here, standing before me.

The last time we were talking it ended into an argument leading to me flying away, I was ready to punch him. But I couldn't, I could never hurt my baby brother.

I remember the days when it was Castiel's first day of Angel Crest Elementary, he was being picked on by Raphael and Lucifer, and it was the day when I first stood up to my elder brothers to protect my baby brother, poor defenceless Cassie. He was so innocent and he couldn't do anything, instead he screamed, kicked and punched. He tried to stand up for himself, but he couldn't, he was just too young to understand and comprehend what was happening.

"Why are you so mean!? Leave me alone!" Castiel screeched at the top of his voice. I heard him from the end of the hall as I was on my way to English, but I couldn't leave him. He sounded scared, angry, upset and confused to why his older brothers would pick on him. I was scared too but something had to be done, I wasn't just going to sit there and let my older brothers pick on my baby brother. It was wrong, and I would have never of forgiven myself if I hadn't of done anything.

"Hey leave him alone, don't you have better things to do than waste your time picking on your poor innocent baby brother?" I yelled.

Castiel reached out for my leg, holding it tightly, not letting it go almost as if my leg was a teddy bear. I was so angry. I could feel the anger was surging inside me. I was just waiting for them to take the wrong step and I would have let loose. I knew I had been in trouble previously for situations like these but I was prepared to give up school to protect Cassie, yes we fought a lot but I love him like any other brother.

"Yeah… I guess so." They both said at the same time.

"Then why don't you go find something to do that is better than picking on Cas?" It was pathetic the way they acted. They were supposed to set an example for Balthazar, Castiel and myself. But they didn't, they never did nor do I think they ever would.

"You think you're so tough don't you?" Lucifer scoffed.

"No, I don't actually. But I bet you do! Since you're so pathetic to pick on your own brother, you worthless piece of shit!"

Everyone in the halls that surrounded our little circle turned and glared at Raphael and Lucifer. Lucifer's girlfriend at the time poshly walked past and looked down at him.

"How can you be so pathetic to lower yourself, to pick on your own brother? If there is one way to a girl's heart it is to be kind and considerate. And you just lost mine, I pity you." She said sadly, shaking her head. She walked over and kissed him as she looked into his eyes. "You made me love you but now I'm not sure if you're the thing I want. I still love you but it's extremely pathetic for you to feel as though you need to pick on your brothers to impress me. I know why you did it, the thought is cute but you need to learn that it doesn't work like that!" With that she walked away.

The look on Lucifer's face I still have never forgotten. He was absolutely heartbroken and he had stormed off with Raphael following behind. I looked down at Cas still cuddling my leg, scared and innocent. I crouched down and looked into his eyes.

"Cas, remember you are my brother. I will never leave you. This means we need to stick together kiddo." I tried to smile at him, but it didn't exactly work. He still looked frightened. I sat down with Cas in my lap, hugging my poor baby brother for hours until a teacher caught us and asked us to explain why we weren't in class.

" I'm sorry Cas" my voice was hush and filled with sorrow.

Castiel looked at me and then sighed. "Now is not the time for apologies, Gabriel Right now we need to get out of here." He turned, stalking away to the entrance of the warehouse, slipping out the door till I could only feel his presence, not see him.

The binds that were tying me to the chair vanished. I'm guessing Cas must have manifested them away. I took a deep breath, nodding slowly to myself, before standing up following.
