God shifted where he was sitting lifting his eyes when Michael entered with Adriel. He left the demon at the door walking up to his Lord, he whispered something into God's ear. The man stood up immediately moving towards Adriel. "Michael, send Gabriel. Bring Amariah back now."
God circled around Adriel once, stopping in front of him, his own creation that he hadn't seen in millenniums, not since Lucifer tainted him, destroyed him and his purity. "My daughter is too smart to fall for your game Adriel. If she comes back harmed in any way." God leant over whispering into Adriel's ear. "You will truly see how unmerciful I can be."
"Restrain him. Now."
Amariah went to protest but Adriel was gone. He hadn't said where he was going so she couldn't follow, she wasn't sure she wanted to go where he went. She had settled back down in the bed when Gabriel appeared in the room with a bright light. "Amariah, your father has sent for you." How strange, her father never sent for her, never wanted to talk to her, he knew she was capable on her own. What had changed?
Like usual she did as she was told, teleporting back to heaven, back to her home. Immediately her wings appeared and a white dress replaced the human clothes she had been wearing. Angels gathered to see her, welcoming her home, but she would not be staying, she would be going back to earth, going back to Adriel.
"Father, you asked for me," Amariah spoke walking through the doors, then she felt it, Adriel, she rolled her shoulders glancing at him from the corner of her eye. He was bloodied, beaten, Michael standing beside him. "Yes I did. This demon, came to heavens door demanding an audience with me, says Lucifer is after you." She held her hands tightly together to keep them from shaking. "I've been trying to get him to tell me what he has done to you. He refused to speak."
God looked at Michael and the pain filled noise that filled the room caused her to feel sick. It was starting to get unbearable for her. "Michael, stop" Amariah spoke her voice authoritative. But Michael was not her angel, he was her father's angel. Amariah looked at her Father tears glazing her eyes. "Daddy, please! He didn't do anything wrong!"
She walked up to her father taking his hand, a pleading expression on her face, again the noise filled the room, Amariah closed her eyes. "Daddy....please...Adriel wasn't the one that hurt me, it was Seraph and Hale. Adriel saved my life!" God put up his hand signalling for Michael to stop. The look her father gave her was almost a look she would expect Lucifer to have. "He has tainted you!"
Amariah watched her father go for Adriel fear in her eyes she moved between the two of them. "I'm pregnant...I had to grow up without a mother, don't make my child grow up without a father." The lie fell off her tongue like she had been lying her entire life, but Amariah could tell it had hit something in her father as he took a step back. Michael let Adriel go watching him fall to the ground.
"Amariah. You are no longer welcome in heaven." He turned from his daughter. "When this war is won, and you have succeeded in the task you were given. Then and only then your sins will be forgiven and you can return." She ran over to Adriel as if her father's words hadn't affected her, she held him gently. She needed to heal him, but she couldn't do it here. "I'm sorry I've disappointed you."
She was quick to teleport them both out and back into the apartment, laying Adriel gently on the floor. "How could you be so stupid?" Tears rolled down her cheeks as she started to heal the injuries Michael had caused. Amariah was still wearing the white dress, it was no tattered and torn, a symbol that she was cast out until successful in bringing her father to victory.
