THE HUNTER
She had two names. One: easy to remember. The other: difficult to discover.
She had two lives. One that, she really loves. Another, she wants to forget.
She had two professions: One: a hunter. Another: a medicine doctor, specifically surgeon.
She had two missions: One: to be the greatest hunter in the world. Another: to be something else.
Her name, the easiest one, was Nimue McKenna and she had past her entire life hunt things. In the way, she lost most of her family. She was actually the last of the clan, the last McKenna which worried because she wasn´t married and she hadn´t got children.
That morning she woke up soon. If she wanted, she didn´t need to sleep, for her nature the sleep wasn´t a necessity.
She paid her bill and left the motel where she had slept the previous night.
She saw her car and walked towards him.
- Hi, boy. – She said to him because was her only company. A black Land Rover Freelander, with leather seats, MP3, television and DVD, it was a whim, because she used to spend most of her life on the road.
She had to leave Colorado Springs and went to Kansas City. She had heard that something strange had happened in the south of the city.
She turned on the car engine and the song "Flight of Icarus" Iron Maiden´s resounded inside. She started to follow the song bits with her fingers and, from time to time, she sang.
When she arrived to her destiny, was happier than usually. She saw a little Mexican bar and decided to eat there.
There were few people, a couple and three men.
One of the men had freckles and green eyes. Another had dark hair and blue eyes. The last one was tallest than most of the people.
When she saw the dark hair man´s blue eyes, she recognized him like "something else", just like herself.
He looked at her & smiled. She smiled back and sat at a small table at the end of the bar.
A waiter crossed the bar to serve her. He was young and handsome, so Nimue did her best and flirt with him because she really enjoyed doing that, it was one of her weaknesses.
The boy was called Pedro and he was an immigrant´s son. He was studying at University, but that was his free day. He said Nimue that he wanted to become a teacher and tried to court her with jokes and smiles, without any luck, because she was in the city for a hunter and hadn´t time.
Nimue ate her food. When she finished, she left the Mexican bar with a big smile.
Like to sleep, food wasn´t a necessity for her, but she loved food, especially sweets and candies. She always remembered her dad when she ate those. He was the one who showed her the marvelous things of being a human. As her daughter, he was something else and, from time to time, he wished to be only a man, with his faults and virtues.
She went to the car park and took her automobile. When the engine machine started on she got relaxed, Iron Maiden´s music resounded on her MP3, but she decided that it was time to change the music and chose Wolfmother, "Far Away" filled up the space and she felt happy.
She chose a motel near a lake and when she got to her room, she started searching to find out what was wrong with this city. She discovered that all kinds of strange events happened in the same street.
At half past nine she left the motel room and went to the mysterious street where all of the events had happened.
She walked around the street and felt with her own power that something was very wrong with the silence. She focused, there was a noise in one of the oldest houses and she went there, quietly and ready to attack. She went in and someone fell down on her back. At first she didn´t react because she wasn´t expecting something like that to happen, but finally she used all of her strength and she threw her attacker 10 meter away. Another person tried to assault her, but she was faster and she pushed him against the wall. She heard a strange noise behind her and she used her wings to lift herself up.
- What the hell? – Said one of her enemies. – Are you kidding me?
Another fucking angel!
- Are you sure? – Asked another voice.
- I´m pretty sure. – Answered the third voice.
Nimue observed the people who were speaking and discovered the three men that she had seen in the Mexican bar.
- I´m not an Angel. – She said. – Not completely.
My dad is an angel, but not me. I am a hunter.
Who are you? And what are you doing here?
- My name is Castiel, I am an Angel of the Lord and they are Dean and Sam Winchester, two hunters from Lawrence.
Why are you here?
- I´ve told you, I am a hunter and something strange is happening here.
- What´s your name? – Asked the freckles man, which name was Dean.
- Nimue McKenna.
Maybe you had heard stories about me.
- That Nimue McKenna? – Asked Dean.
- Yeah, that one.
- Could someone tell me what is happening?
- Sammy, this is Nimue McKenna, when she was eleven she killed a nest of fifty vampires in Glendalough, Ireland.
She is a legend between hunters.
I´ve heard that you were killed by ghouls in South America, in a big hunt.
- Actually, I hope that the hunters had believed so.
I left the job for a period of ten years and carried on with my life, but… when the last member of my clan was killed, I had to return.
- Wait a minute… - The tallest man interrupted Nimue. – Forget this for a moment.
Are you saying that you´re the daughter of an Angel?
You know, I thought that the angels were pure and virginal.
- Cliché. – Nimue explained. – Angels have children with humans, there are a lot of us in the world, but it´s a secret. Long story, maybe I´ll tell you in another moment, but, for now…
Something came up to us. – She said cryptically. – Ready to fight?
- I had born ready. – Explained Dean.
- O.K. – Sam smiled. – I love doing some exercise.
- I like you, boys. – Nimue gave a smile to the three men. – Go! – She cried and a big man appeared in the house.
Nimue, Dean, Castiel and Sam fought with him, but it wasn´t enough. He looked like never tired and he was stronger than they expected.
- Do you have another plan? – Asked Nimue.
- Run? – Suggested Dean. – It´s not the usual for us, but we have to find out what the hell is that man.
- He is faster than us, Dean. – Said Sam.
- But not faster than we are, do you think so uncle?
- Right.
I take Sam, you take Dean.
- Fine. See you at the Mexican bar. – Nimue flew high and took Dean with her right arm, then, the two of them disappeared. Two minutes later, Castiel and Sam vanished too.
Nimue smiled at Dean when the Winchester boy looked at her, confused.
- Are you O.K?
- Damn it!
I really hate flying away.
- So sorry, but it was the only choice.
I think that I know who that man was, if I´m right we have a big problem. Like an old Greek god problem.
- What do you mean?
- I think that he is Zeus.
- Are you joking? – Dean looked at Nimue. – A fucking Greek god?
- O.K. I´m not sure, but… - Nimue saw Castiel and Sam who arrived at that moment.
- Hello, are you fine? – Asked Castiel.
- Yeah, thanks, and you?
- I´m fine. – Castiel smiled at Nimue. – Do you really think he is Zeus?
- I´m almost sure.
Wait a minute!
I am calling Gabriel. Dad, come here right now!
- Have you called me, sweetheart? – Said a voice behind Nimue and when she turned round, he was her dad.
- You? – Dean looked at Gabriel. – I thought that you were dead.
- I was, but…
Honey, why are you with these Winchester boys?
I always see them, I have big problems.
- Long story. – Nimue looked at Gabriel. – Are you fine?
- Yes, mi little angel- Gabriel smiled at Castiel. – Hi, little bro, is nice to see you, like always.
- Did you know he was alive? – Asked Sam to Castiel. – Why didn´t tell us?
- It was Heaven´s business. – Explained Cass.
- Glad to see you, Sammy, you too, Dean - Gabriel smiled at the Winchesters and looked at Nimue. – What happens, my little heart?
- I believe that the first Hunters have revived.
- You sure?
- Well, almost sure.
You knew them.
Can you try to feel their power?
- Wait a minute. – Gabriel was concentrated for five minutes. – You´re right.
They woke up.
- Could someone explain it to me? – Asked Dean. – I´m lost about all things.
First, is Gabriel your dad?
- Yeah, he is.
- Second, we are talking about Greek deities?
- Yeah, we are. – Continued Nimue.
- Third, why did you call them "first hunters"?
- Long story, summary, the Greek deities were Heaven´s weapons, they were used in the past to stop the first monsters, the Titans, and now they woke up - Explained Castiel.- Do I forgot something?
- We don´t know how to stop them and how many of them there are…
I thought that´s all- Concluded Nimue.
