Forbidden Child Series

Part 3

One Year Later

 

The angel proofed mansion turned out to be a good home to raise a family. No outside enemies intruded and Mira grew each day. You and Gabriel spent a lot of time together and with Mira who was constantly being spoiled by Castiel and the other angels who lived with you.

The first instance with her powers was when she managed to make a toy float in air. Gabriel kept showing her his own tricks, making her laugh and smile at her father. However, she preferred to be held by you, finding comfort in your embrace.

One night you got Mira to sleep and snuggled up next to Gabriel in the bed. He kissed you softly, nuzzling his nose against your neck. “Gabe.”

“Hm?” He didn’t bother to lift his head.

“This war hasn’t ended exactly.” You started. “Mira is still in danger.” With that you peaked his interest. “The angel aren’t going to give up.” You sighed. “What kind of life is it, if we stay hidden here forever?”

“I know.” He whispered.

“There has to be a way to make them stop.”

“I’ve tried.”

“But….” You buried your head into his chest.

“I know.” He cooed. “We’ll find something. We’ll change their minds.” Gabe rubbed your back, kissing the top of your head, holding you against him.

 

The next day, you went through the routine you established. Mira was taken care of first before you headed down to breakfast, where you found Gabriel talking to Cas along with some other angels. Once Gabe saw you, he took Mira as you sat down to eat. Some of the angels kept glancing over at you.

“What?” You said a little too loud.

The group stared at you before looking at each other, daring one of them to tell you. Cas spoke up first, looking down at the floor. “I’m afraid that the angels in Heaven are launching a massive attack against us.”

“But they can’t get in right?”

“The numbers they have….I’m almost positive they will find a way in.”

“So what now?” You faced Gabriel, glancing at Mira in his arms. “We can’t run anymore.”

“We have to fight.” Gabriel cut Cas off. “It’s the only thing we have left. Running won’t solve anything.”

“Where should Mira and I go?”

“In the cellar. There’s a room that we have made impossible for angels to get into.” Gabriel turned to one of the angels. “Leo, show her where. The rest of you….we should prepare.” He handed you Mira, before leaving. Leo walked over to you, holding out a hand.

“Thanks.” You gave him a small smile as he lead the way.

 

Not two hours and the angels were attacking. Windows were blown out, furniture was flipped over and the carpets stained with red. They’d gotten in just as expected, but you were safe in the cellar with Leo standing guard outside the room you were in.

The fighting ragged on, you felt the ground above you shake and you could hear the cries of dying angels. You sat on a bed in the small room with symbols and markings all over the walls. Mira cried in your arms. You tried to hush her, but then you felt tears of your own fall down your face.

“Stay back.” You heard Leo talking to someone outside.

“Is she in there?” You heard a snarl before a clash of blades. With a loud thud and blast of light you knew one of them had fallen.
