Author's Note: Thank you for the few, but dearly loved follows and favorites. I hope this chapter is satisfactory.
Amber started to shift as she felt the darkness recede. As she was lifted in consciousness she started to hear voices, where am I? She thought. She opened eyes and was greeted by the sight of three men staring at her. Two had concern written on their faces and the third had the brightest blue eyes she has ever seen, yet they somehow seem familiar. "Where…" She tries to speak, but her throat was too dry, she tries to sit up.
"Whoa, whoa! Hey, you're ok, you're ok." One of the men said, it was the same man she had bumped into earlier. "Dean can you grab water?" He helped her sit up.
The other man came back with a cup of water for her. "Thank you." She said as she grabbed the cup.
"No problem." He responds.
They fell into awkward silence until one of them broke it. "My name is Sam this is my older brother Dean," He points to the man who had brought her a cup of water, "and this is Castiel." He points to the one with the familiar blue eyes, "Though you can call him Cas." He introduces. "Can you tell me who you are?" He asked softly.
Amber nods and takes another sip of water. "My name is…" She lets out a gasp of pain and drops her cup to clutch at her heart.
"Hey! Hey! Are you ok?! What's wrong!?" Dean urgently questions.
Castiel's eyes narrows in deep though and places a hand on Dean's shoulder. "Dean, something is not right here." He cautions.
"Ya think Cas!" He retorts.
Sam looks at Castiel, "What do you mean?"
Before he could answer Amber fell back on the bed and screamed. The screams was so high pitched Sam and Dean was forced to cover their ears.
"Damnit Cas! What the hell is going on?!" Dean yelled over the noise.
Castiel only shook his head. "I do not know."
They all grew more concerned when she started to seize. "Isn't there anything you can do?" Sam pleads.
"No." He states bluntly.
"Uhhh, guys. Look." They turn to see what Dean was pointing at.
"That's not good." Sam whispers. They had all turned to see that Amber was starting to glow.
"Cover your eyes! Now!" Castiel commands.
Sam and Dean cover their eyes, just in time to block out the light they now normally associate with angels. They look to Castiel and saw that he had a shocked expression on his normally blanked face.
"No. This can't be." Castiel took a shaky step towards the bed. "It's impossible." He whispers.
"Cas, what is it?" Dean inquires. "Is she an angel?"
Castiel gave a mute nod.
Sam and Dean exchange concerned looks. "Do you know who she is?" Sam gently asks.
"Yes," He whispers, "I recognize her grace. But I do not know how this is possible." He said still astonished by his discovery.
"Who is she?" Sam asks.
Castiel takes a moment before answering, his widened eyes never leaving the now discovered angel. "Her name is Manakel."
"Does she pose a threat to us?" Dean questions.
Castiel shakes his head and finally turns to his two brothers in arms. "No. I don't believe so."
Sam decides to ask the question that he wanted to know the most, "Why was you so shocked at her identity?"
Before answering Castiel knelt down next to the bed to slowly stroke Manakel's hair. "Because… Manakel has been missing from Heaven for centuries." He states.
"You mean she pulled one of Gabriel's crappy disappearing acts?" Dean says, starting to sound irritated.
Again, Castiel shakes his head. "No. It happened not too long before Father disappeared. She was just leaving her fledgling stage and went to see Father to receive her very first mission, but she had never returned."
Both Winchesters' looked at him in confusion. "Fledgling?" Sam hesitantly questions.
"They are what you would refer to as a baby angel." Responds. "All Angels receive their first mission directly from Father, that way they will know what type of assignments suit them best." He informs them.
"Ok, so let me get this straight. A baby angel goes missing, and I'm not even going to go into the fact that baby angels exist, and ya'll just ignore that it happened!" Dean exclaimed.
"You don't understand Dean." Castiel rebukes sharply, "We tried to find her, but there was no trace of her left. Add to the fact that Father disappeared soon after, Heaven was in chaos."
"What do you think happened to her." Sam asks Castiel.
"I don't know." He says faintly. "But I don't think it was anything good." Concern bleeds into his voice.
Author's Note: Here is the big reveal on who she is! I know this is a short a chapter, but it is late, so I don't feel like typing anymore. Fun fact for anyone who cares, Manakel is the name of a real angel I found when I was looking for things to help with this story. Please favorite and review, I want to know what you think.
