Anastasia (Supernatural au: Gabriel X Reader)

Chapter 14

   You rushed back to Chuck's house to pack your things. You didn't know where you were going but you didn't care. You'd figure it out.
   Slamming the door, you ran to your room and buried your face in the pillows and cried.
                            * * * * *
   Gabriel was hurt from what you'd said to him but all it did was remind him he had a job to do. And he wasn't going anywhere until you got your family back!
   So, determined, he rushed back into the room where Rowena was.
                          * * * * *
   Castiel had entered the room shortly after the incident to calm Rowena down.
    "Rowena, I don't think you understand what has happened here." He said softly. "Gabriel never lied. (N/n) is (y/n). And she has longed for family as long as you have. You need to speak with her."
    That's when Gabriel decided to come barging back into the room. "I'm not leaving here until you agree to go talk to her!"
    Rowena was silent for a moment. Then she stood and walked over to Gabriel. "How can you be sure?"
    "Because I know her! I know the feeling I get when she's around! And because of this."
    He pulled out the music box that Rowena had given (y/n) just before Lucifer attacked.
    "Where did you get this?"
    "You know where."
    Rowena nodded. "I will talk to this girl. Whether or not she is actually my granddaughter remains to be seen though."
   With that, Rowena left the room.
                             * * * * *
   Pulling the pins out of your hair, you rushed to pack your few belongings. You sighed as you picked up a certain dress. Gabriel had bought this for you. He promised that he'd snap up all the dresses and jewelry you could ever want if he had his grace. You had danced in this dress and it was the moment you had realized you were in love with him.
   You felt another tear slip from you eye and you shoved the dress inside your suitcase.
   At that moment, there was a knock at the door. You simply rolled your eyes. "Go away, Gabriel!"
   The door opened anyway. You turned to give Gabriel a stern talking to when you realized it wasn't him. It was Rowena.
   "Oh! Um...your majesty." You said, curtsying to her the way you'd been taught.
   She smiled. "There's no need for that." She took your hand. "Who are you?"
    You took a deep breath. "I...I'm not sure, milady. For as long as I can remember, I've simply been a girl with no memory of her past. A girl with nothing...and no one. Well, except my honorary brothers."
    "You seem like a very nice lady." Rowena said. "And you have no recollection of your past? Your family?"
   You shook your head. "Sometimes I get these thoughts in my head. I see things that don't make sense. Things that pop up when I look at something or do something I swear I haven't before. And I think they might be memories. But I'm unsure."
   "And what do you see when you see me, dear?"
    You looked at her and a feeling came to you that was familiar. "I feel this strange warmth...like we were very close once. I see your face, you smiling and laughing with me. We seem...happy."
    You clutched your head as a sudden pain flared up. You'd had a headache ever since you left Gabriel but now it seemed to be getting worse.
    Rowena noticed your distress and beckoned you over. "Sit with me a moment, dear."
    You followed her and sat down with her on the couch that was in the room. You rubbed your temples and she placed her fingers over yours, alleviating the pain.
   That's when you dropped your hands, subconsciously, to your necklace. You looked up to see Rowena's eyes on it.
   "What is that?"
   "Oh this?" You gestured. "Well I've always had it ever since before I can remember. I always liked to think that one day I'd find the person who gave it to me. Because, maybe then, I'd finally have a family."
   Rowena's eyes were shining. "I think you already have." She whispered. "May I?"
   You took off the necklace, handing it to her. She looked at it with tears in her eyes. "This was our secret. Something for me and my dear (y/n)."
   She snapped her fingers and something familiar appeared in them. "The music box." You realized.
   Once more, images began playing in your mind. Memories were bubbling up faster than you knew how to stop them.
   "You gave me this." You remembered. "To sing our lullaby for me while you were here in Paris!"
   You gingerly took the necklace and the music box in hand and turned the key of the necklace in the lock of the music box.
   A melody began to play and you began to sing the song that had been stuck in your head for years. Rowena was singing it too and, suddenly, you turned to her.
   "Grand mama?"
   "My dear (y/n)!"
   You fell into each other's arms.
