In the Eyes of a Fallen Angel

Chapter Three: History

        My breaths came in panicked gasps as I frantically called out to my brothers. " Gabriel, Balthazar, please!" I yelled towards the ceiling. Nothing happened. The silence was unbearable. "Answer me!" I shouted and collapsed to my knees. "Please..." I whispered. I felt something on my face and reached up to wipe it away. It was a tear. This sadness, this longing, I hadn't felt feelings for a long time, and it hurt. I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Dean.

        "Locked out of Heaven, huh?" he said and helped me to my feet. "So, you really are an angel?" I nodded. "I guess that explains the wings then." he continued.

        "Wait, you can see them?" I asked, surprised.

        "Yes..." Dean said, confused,"they're kind of hard to miss."

       I gave him a slight smile. "What?" he asked, shifting his feet uncomfortably.

        " Only certain people can see an angel's wings." I said, and extended one of my large, black wings across the room.

        " I still don't see anything." Sam said, confused.

        " Like I said, only certain people can see them, it's very rare." I replyed. I looked up to the ceiling. "I don't understand. We are at war. Why would Gabriel send me away, I could help." I said angrily.

        "At war with who?" Sam asked.

        " Hell. Someone opened the gates of Hell and let thousands of demons escape, along with Crowley, the king of Hell. My brethren have been fighting to protect the human race, but the demons have invaded Heaven. They reached the third gate before..." my voice trailed off. "Gabriel. Gabriel was alone at the Third Gate. He could be dead." I turned towards Dean and Sam. " My brothers are dying because some stupid human had the bright idea to open the gates of Hell." They looked at the ground.

        "Jake." Sam said. "His name was Jake. He opened the gates of Hell. Me, my brother, Bobby, and Ellen closed them, but not soon enough. We've been trying to hunt them down ever since."

        "You guys hunt Demons?" I asked, surprised. "But, your human."

        "Well," Dean said with a smirk. "We're pretty freakin awesome."

        I gave him a slight smile, but it soon disappeared. " I have to get back to Heaven." I said, staring intensely at the two boys. "It is of utmost importance."

        "We can talk to Bobby, he might know something, but for now, you'll need to come with us." Dean said. "We caught a case in southern Wisconsin. Demon omens everywhere. You can come hunt with us until we find a way to get you back to Heaven, alright?"

        I nodded. Dean ran his hand through his already messed up hair and said, " Ok, Wisconsin's about a two day drive from here, we best get going." He and Sam grabbed a couple bags and went out the door. I did my best to stay out of the way, then followed them outside. The day was beautiful. Sunny and warm, with bees and bird flying around. I watched as a mother fox and her cubs fled into their home and an old buck walked calmly back into the woods. I smiled.

        "I missed this." I said to no one in particular. I walked over to Dean and said," What is this?" It was the large black machine that I had fallen on in the first place. Dean ran his hand over the front of it.

        " This, my friend, in a 1967 Chevy Impala, the best car in the world." He opened up the door and climbed inside. Sam walked to the other side of the car and opened a door to the back of it.

        " You'll ride back here." He said, then climbed in the front with Dean. I folded my wings to my back and climbed into the seat. Dean took out a key, inserted it into the car, and the car started up. He pulled a lever and it began moving down the road. 

        After about five minutes of silence, I said," This is taking too long."

        "We've only been driving for five minutes." Sam replyed impatiently.

        I was silent for a moment, then said," We don't have time for this." I reached up front and touched both the boys on their forehead and imagined us in Wisconsin. In a flash, we were driving down a country road just a little ways out of Madison.
