In the Eyes of a Fallen Angel

Prologue

        "Castiel, this is getting out of hand." Gabriel said, as he stared down at his feet.

        "What do you mean?" I asked. I didn't understand, what was he talking about? I shifted my gaze up to his face.

        He sighed. "Castiel, I have lost Uriel, Haal, Samandriel, and so many others. I cannot lose you too. You're my little brother, and if anything would happen to you, I wouldn't be able to handle it." he said, brushing his long, blond hair out of his eyes. "The war, it's getting too dangerous. The demons have taken over lower heaven and Crowley's not showing any sign of stopping."

        "Gabriel, you don't have to try and protect me. I'm an angel of the lord, I can take care of myself."
I retorted.

        "You don't understand! We are losing Castiel, and more angels are going to die." Gabriel said sharply. Suddenly, a voice sounded in my head. It was Balthazar.

        "Gabriel! They've taken the second gate and are headed your way!" He shouted. Gabriel's eyes widened in fear.

        "We have no backup here!" Gabriel shouted, unsheathing his sword.

        "We have no time to send any! Anna's wounded, and the rest of the battilion is fighting to protect the fourth gate. Gabriel, if they get past the third gate, all hell with break loose, literally."

        Gabriel shouted in frustration. I grabbed my sword and began to walk towards the gate. "No, Castiel!" Gabriel yelled and grabbed my coat. "It's too dangerous, please." he begged, and began to drag me the other way. "Go to the Garden of Eden, you'll be safe there. I can't lose you." An explosion shook the ground as demons began pounding on  the gate. He shoved me away. "Go!" He  shouted and got in a fighting position.

        "I won't leave you Gabriel! Not now, not ever. You're my brother, and I will fight with you to the end." I said, walking up next to him and facing the failing gate. Gabriel gave me a sad look, filled with guilt.

        "No, you won't." He said, staring at me with his bright blue eyes. "Forgive me brother." He reached towards me and rested his hand on my forhead.

        "No!" I shouted and twisted to get away, but it was too late. With a flash of light, he was gone. I found myself falling, being pulled away from the only home I knew. There was another flash of light, and I found myself laying on top of a moving machine with my wings catching the wind. I heard the voice of a man say,"What the hell?" before I blacked out.
