2.4: Tell Our Dad I'm Sorry

Tabris's Point Of View

-

I spat those words out in spite.  Kyleigh's eyes were filled with anger, vengence, wrath and pride.  She believes she could would win anything with the power of Angels.  She doesn't know the aftermath of it all.  I try and try to provoke Kyleigh to get the old Kyleigh to comeback.  The one who'd make a joke of things, who'd fight and fight the bad.  But, Kyleigh is only what she wants to be.  Now she's a martyr.  A killing maniac.

"Please..  Let go.  The pain and anger is going to kill you."  I try to convince her.

"Go to Hell." Kyleigh spits out, she put the Angel Blade on my shoulder and made a knick on it.  I grit my teeth.  I tried to reach out to her.  "You saw what would happen.  Zachariah showed you what happened.  Lucifer and Sam would destroy everything because of all of their anger.  Lucifer's angry at humanity for being God's apple to his eye.  Sam's angry because you couldn't save-"  "Bullshit!!  I tried to save her."  She says, grabbing my head and hitting it against the wall.  My forehead began to hurt and bleed.  I turned to face the girl.  "C'mon you know what isn't right..  You want to be free from rules and now.. you are doing it in the wo-"  She slices the underside of my arm.  I grab onto it trying to stop the bleeding.  "You told me you wanted to save all the people you can.  You said that-"  "Shut the hell up!!" Kyleigh screams at me.

She punches my face,  I turn to see Kyleigh's eyes bloodshot and tears falling.  "That's not me."  She says, hitting my face with the hilt of the Angel Blade.

"We both know that's you!  You're putting the weight of the world on your shoulders and tha-"

I got punched again, hard.  My cheek begins to swell as Kyleigh punchs it repeatedly.  "That's!"  She says, taking a hard hit at me.  "Not!!" 

 "Me!!" 

 "I'm not that idiot who trust an Angel.  I'm an Angel for the people.  Not for the absent God.  Not anymore."  Kyleigh says, standing in pride..

I tried to stand, my knees shakey and in pain.  "Please.  Come back.  Remember all we did?"  I ask, my tears blurring my sight.  "Please."  "I will..  Once I save all that need it.. I'll be me again, but for now..  I'm saving everyone from the pain of losing faith."  Kyleigh says with sympathy.  "You should know that I can't keep everyone alive."

Kyleigh slowly pushes the Angel Blade into my abdomen.  "Y...you're.. all to.. blame.. for this..  Te..ll.. our... da..d.. I'm..s..orr..."

"I know.  I will."

Eons, and Eons Ago

-

"Gabe!" I call to my older brother.  "Look who I found!"  I pointed to the small being.  Gabriel picked me up by my waist and hoisted me on his shoulders.  'The world our dad created is amazing!'  I thought.  The being began to crawl on a tiny leaf.  "What's that Gabe?"  I ask in curiousity.  "That's a snail, Tabris."  You were the one who made it.  "Oh.. Yeah!  I know!  It's adorable isn't it?"  "Because I, your amazing-"  "You pulled on Samandriel's elephant's nose, tone it down a little."  I speak quickly.  "Okay, your great-"  "Mhm.. You took the spine from my snail and used it to make a dinosaur."  I say, tilting my head to the right.  My head was used to this position than being upright.

"True, but who was the one who gave you chocolate?"

"Lucifer."

"Who gave you the best creature in the world?"

"Lucifer."

"Did he bribe you with chocolate?"

"You will never know."  I say, running away from to the Archangel.

Several Eons after

"Dad?" I ask, my white dress touching my thighs.  "Why did Luci have to leave?" "Tabris, he became too dangerous."  "Can we visit him?"  "No.  We can't free him from his prison."  "I thought he was your favorite."  "I'm not supposed to have favorites."  "You have feelings, you have free will.  Of course, you can have favorites, as long as you don't invalue another being.  But I am sure you wouldn't."  I say, looking up at my father.  "Of course, Tabris." He smiles at me.  This was the first time in a long time.  He didn't smile much, he had to rule Heaven, which had to be a stressful job.

"You know what you think is right, it's going to help you out.  But that'll get you in a lot of trouble."

Present

-

I now know what he meant by that.  The day Luci left Heaven.  That what I think is right will get me in trouble.  My life began to flash before my lives.  The happy moments in Heaven.

Castiel learning to fly, him being a fledgling, becoming a true Angel.  But, now my vessel is running from him.

I learned how to fight, I convinced Michael and Lucifer to train me.. But, I still lost to a human.

Gabriel and Lucifer playing pranks on Heaven, it gave the more free Angels a laugh while the ones less emotional, didn't get why.

Luci out of Michael's shadow, his talents being seen by Heaven.  This was one of the only times he was truly out of our older brother's shadow.

My family being happy, once in a very long time.

Their smiles.

The thing I lived to see.

But now, I'm bleeding to death with my blade in my abdomen.  Kyleigh had turned her back on me.  I wish I was strong enough to hold on... But now.. I know I'm going to die alone.

'Dad.. I'm sorry..'  I cry, closing my eyes.  I accept my fate.  I then heard a voice I haven't heard in such a long time.

"It's alright Tabris, you did your best."
