Aria ran through the necropolis as fast as she could- Stull Cemetery, Kansas. She knew the day of the final battle was here- Armageddon. She threw opened the iron doors as she ran to the front inside.

Aria gasped.

Dean was slumped against the Impala, bleeding. There was blood on the ground in front of him. At some distance, Bobby Singer lay dead.

In the front, Lucifer was standing on a patch of grass, holding the Horsemen's rings in his hand. Michael was standing far away but was moving towards him as he threw down the rings.

Suddenly, both of them looked at her as a violent gust of wind started blowing. Lucifer smirked as she close her eyes and started muttering a spell. The ground was beginning to open when a bright flash of light blinded her.

Sam Winchester fell to the ground as she saw Lucifer in his true form- He looked just like Nick. His ice-blue eyes bore into her face.

"Aria - I was waiting for you. I was afraid you had forgotten our deal."

The hole widened as Lucifer started falling. Without warning, he grabbed her jacket and pulled her with him.

Aria screamed as she felt the heat from Hell.

"MICHAEL!"

Michael was running towards her, shouting out her name, but his voice seemed distant.

Aria screamed out Michael's name until her face hit the ground hard and she blacked out.


She tossed and turned uncomfortably in her sleep, hands fisting into the sheets.

"Please, let him go!"

The cruel laugh rang throughout the room as the Devil looked at she with his ice-blue eyes. He had an unconscious Michael strapped to a chair, an archangel blade in his hand. He hissed- "I can't do that now, can I my love?"

He raised his hand high and she screamed out-

"No, Please- Just leave him. I'll do anything- Please leave him."

A devilish grin crossed his angelic face as he let out a cold laugh, sending a shiver down her spine.

Aria woke up with a start, breathing heavily. She was trembling slightly as she sat up, tears in her eyes. She looked around, confused at her surroundings.

"Aria?"

She froze as she heard the voice. She quickly dried her tears and sat up straight,turning behind and looked at him.

"MICHAEL!"

He smiled and nodded, moving over to her.

"YOU TOOK ME FROM THERE...THANK GOD!"

...

Aria met Michael over a year ago, when he had introduced himself as her fellow angel. She had been flattered that God considered she important enough to send Heaven's Prince as her Fellow. Until recently, she had been an angel who was highly wanted by Hell. Michael had been given the duty to protect her from harm at any cost.

He had stayed with she every minute of every day. The one day she had left his side for a few moments...

...

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked down, trying to face the other way. The tears slid down her cheek as she hid her face.

"Aria..."

She felt his hands on her shoulder as he gazed into her brown eyes with those beautiful deep blue orbs. He cupped her face in his hands as he wiped away her tears. She rested her face against his hand before he pulled her into a tight hug. He was the only one who could comfort her like this. She had been praying he would come to save her- Finally he had come.

Aria heard the fluttering of wings as he wrapped his wings around she possessively, making her smile and open her eyes. She saw the wings and froze- Michael's wings were golden, not black.

"Missed me sweetheart?"

A scream left her lips as she ran back into the wall, staring into those ice-blue eyes in horror. Instead of Michael, Lucifer sat in front of her, smiling. Aria looked left and right, desperate to run out.

"Mi...Mich...Michael!"

Lucifer smirked as he stood up and growled- "Michael is not going to come here anytime soon, Darling."

Aria looked around to see the walls of the room disappear as that dreaded ambiance appeared. The walls seemed to be covered with blood- It made her fell nauseous and claustrophobic. The heat slammed into her face as she desperately looked around for an exit. There was none.

Lucifer's laughter resonated throughout the room as he looked at her, eyes darkening.

"Oh Fuck!"

Lucifer huskily whispered, "That's the plan angel!"

He smirked and sang out loudly-

"Welcome to the Cage, Love!"
