Varia grasps at thin air as Gabriel had disappeared. She stood upto face Michael. She wasn't afraid of him. "WHO STARTED THIS WAR?!" She yelled back at him with anger in her own heart, her finger pointed directly at him.

Azazel laughs. "Fiery as always." He walked over. "Do you want me to take care of her for you Michael? You have suffered enough to be burdened with banishing another angel." He asks of his master.

Michael eyes narrowed slightly at her with flames ignited in his eyes "No point your finger at lucifer he fell and then attacked afterward" he snapped sharply at her and looked at Azeral and nodded slowly "Yeah you can deal with her i need some asprin" he mutters turning and walked away.

Varia scowls at the Archangel and felt Azazel's hand grasp her arm and pulls her away. He restrains her and she walks with him with her head held low.

Fighting a Losing Battle

Raphael worried they would hurt her the way they hurt him. He'd do anything to stop it.

Azazel throws Varia to the floor in a prison cell. "You should have stayed here, Songstress." He peers down at her with glowing eyes.

She looks up at him with glazed eyes. She felt something within her die this day. She could not take any more. "You have a choice. Stay here by my side. Or become Fallen. Michael will never forgive you for bringing Gabriel back."

Varia remains silent and blinks at him slowly. Her expression void of all emotion. Azazel sighs and shuts the door. "You have until tomorrow." He leaves the Angel in a cold dark place but she did not care anymore. Her light slowly fades as she lay on the floor lifeless. Raphael weeps for his beloved brother and now for his beloved Left Hand.

Tomorrow came and Azazel returned to fetch the Angel. A choice between him or going to Hell. What was the difference? Azazel opens the door to her cell. He approached her and stroked her hair back behind her ear. "Do you choose me now?" She gave him no answer. Gabriel was dead, she didn't care what happened to her anymore.

"And what happens when Michael finds out you did not kill me?" She asked him with cold eyes. Azazel smiles. "We wont be here." He then took her hand and leaned in to kiss her lips.

(woops)

As they had started to leave heaven, something was across the bridge the only way to earth and standing now at the other side was Lucifer's daughter she withdrew a blade looking at Azeral "you shall not take her out of heaven" as nothign seemed to change , coming from the dense forest was the golden lion coming to stand by the daughter of Lucifer fangs bared deeply at Azeral slightly eyes narrowed. He was alive , course he was he was the trickster. The archangel lion looked at Azeral as his voice boomed loudly "release her now, there is nothing left for you" he said sharply , stepping forward

Azazel growled at the Lion. "Let's have Varia decide what she wants, shall we?" He turns to her, and the songstress just stares out into space.

And as if entranced. She looks at Azazel.

"I want to be with you, Azazel."

'I want to be with you, Gabriel.'

She says to the Right Hand of Michael and clings to him. Her mind broken. Azazel grins at the lion, knowing he could never harm him being so close to an innocent angel.

"Not so fast little Azeral" he said smirking as he gave a roar that repaired her completely and blew azraeal away sharply as he snorted gently as he trotted up to her and turned back to normal form "You okay ?" he asked as Lucifer's daughter vanished as a few demons grabbed Azeral as Lucifer smiled softly as the demons nodded they wouldn;t kill Azeral but they would teach him a small lesson and then they where gone with Azeral and gabriel looked at her.

Varia looked around slowly. "It was...so dark." She turned to him and realised that he was alive. She was so relieved she threw her arms around Gabriel. She was shaken. "Without you. Everything went so dark..." Her eyes dull and lifeless. This was not the darkness that affected her so. But her heart. She didn't understand these feelings inside.

Chapter 2 Lion and a Lamb

It had been a year since Gabriel came to life and heaven was going back to normal. The male smiled as he actually didn't stay in heaven he went back to earth to repair it. Angels might not find humans worthy but he did.

So the great lion was on earth helping to rebuild it being now a wanderer and traveler it was hard for him to stay still.

Varia had stopped by a store to get some water and supplies for Father Raphael and Father Gabriel when she was seen by a photographer. He took pictures of her and it flashed in her face. She steps back startled.

"Wow honey! You are drop dead beautiful!!" The young man exclaimed in a camp voice as she looked at him confused "Um. Thank you?" She replies as he follows her outside "Ever considered being a model?" He asked as she keeps walking ahead "What is a model?" She stopped to ask him.

"Ah come on you know! Inspiring people! Movies, acting, Broadway!" He twirls as he was getting excited. Varia chuckles "No I'm afraid not, friend."

"The name's Sean" he holds out a hand too shake hers. She had gotten used to this human tradition and shakes his hand back with a smile. She had met a new friend. A male who seemed very much different than the usual type. Perhaps it was because he did not regard her as a piece of meat as most straight human males did.
