Prologue- Enter Castiel the Angel
I know that my life hasn't always been what you call easy even to this day it isn't. So to say that my life is complicated is an understatement. I'm young girl in my mind I'm only at the age of 21 with really no memory of my life before. Though I have been having a wonderful life with a loving husband, Jared, and a beautiful lil newborn son, Jacob. Though I've noticed in the last year my body hasn't really changed at all, even after being pregnant and having my lil boy. Also the way I see things is acting up, almost like I'm going crazy... I don't think I have schizophrenia in my family history. One of my friends joked that I must be a medium or something. Which I'd take any day over the fact that I'm just bat shit crazy. Still if this continues I have a feeling that I'd have to leave the small family that I had created and that scares me more than anything losing my husband and son not being in my life anymore.
I feel a hand pull on my shirt to look down at my little boy smiling thinking of how handsome he'll be one day and how I can't wait, but I fear that maybe I won't see it. I won't see if he'll have brown, green, or blue eyes. Though luckily I already know he won't have my mismatched eyes, heterochromia. I've already spent so much time that I remember dealing with people's stares. If he'll have my light hair or his father's black hair.
I lean back and close my eyes. I picture a countryside home and in the back tied to a tree is a tire swing. I see a young girl being pushed on it, but then all I see is fire and smoke as the house burns to the ground. I sit up quickly not bothering looking around pulling my son to my side, before I check the time to see when Jared will be home so he'll hold me in his arms and the nightmares will go away.
"Hello, Marina," I jump up as I look up to see a stranger standing in the middle of my room.
When he looks up I don't see a human face instead I see a simple humanoid like form made of light that shines rather brightly with two bright blue eyes on where the head should be. I feel as if I know him from somewhere.
Still I say the most cliche thing in the world, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"I'm Castiel, you may not remember but I used to look after you while you grew up into the woman you are today. I'm here to bring you to your older brothers for they will need you soon."
I look at him like he grew a second head on his body made of light, "Brothers...? I have a family, if so why haven't they come look for me?"
He looks a bit upset as his aura or whatever turns a light shade of blue meaning he's feeling sad about this, "They never knew of your birth, for you were the sister that had gone missing then erased from her family's memories. A girl with both demon and angel blood pumping through her system."
I stare at him with wide eyes starting to wonder if I should be talking with this lunatic, "Angels... Demons... Those are just stories ones that are used to try to keep people in line."
He looks at me as he tilts his head and I see curiosity in them, but also confusion, "Yet you have differently colored eyes that you swear either turn black or shine a bright blue light. You sometimes hear something like conversations when you let your guard down. Then strange things keep happening to you that you can't even get close to understanding. Oh I almost forgot you can only see light for my body don't you and sometimes you can see people whose faces seem to be rotting"
I steel my eyes as I look at this man or angel as he's trying to tell me, "How do you know this? I never told anyone these things well maybe seeing people as different things... If I have angel and demon blood do you see me like this?" I can't help but to ask the last part.
"I'm an angel which is why my form looks like so bright. Demons are the ones the ones that look like corpses. There are other beings in this world with all kinds of different forms and powers. All of which probably would love to have you at their side."
"If that is so why would I have been safe for all this time?"
"There has been a protection spell, but it seems to be fading. I had come to take you to either your brothers or a safe place." His face doesn't show any emotion or anything it's the same with his gruff sounding voice.
"My husband and son, what of them?" I have to ask they are my entire world no matter what.
The angel simply stares me straight in the eyes, "Your son will need to come since he has your blood running through him. :Your husband on the other hand is up to either one of you."
"Will he be in danger?"
"Only with his memories of you," Castiel answers with a matter of fact voice that he's been using for about everything.
"Could his memories be erased?"
"Yes, they can be. I could do so if that is what you wish. Though once it'll be done you can't do anything that might bring the memories into the light."
I nod my head as I stare at the angel holding tightly to my son until I hear keys jingling as the front door is being unlocked. I look at the time to see that my husband, Jared, is just getting home from work. Eleven-eleven, make a wish for when I get things figured out.
"Yes, that is what I'd wish for," for now at least so Jared can be safe.
As I hear the door open a bright light blinds me as I move to cover Jacob's eyes. As I open my eyes I look around to find myself in a cabin with symbols written all over the walls with all my things placed nice all over the room. I move to a shelf that has all the picture frames with pictures that were taken during my time with Jared. I gently maneuver Jacob so I can pick up my favorite wedding photo.
"None of this was left in Jared's house?" I ask as I fight back the tears in my eyes.
I catch the angel shaking his head when I look up after setting the wedding photo to looking at the photo of Jared sleeping with Jacob in his arms shortly after I had given birth to our son.
"There is no trace of you for Mr. Jared Jensen to recall. Nothing that would make him go through moments of deja vu."
I look at my son with tears dripping down to his lil cheeks. Jacob is staring at me in wonderment and worry.
I smile down at my son, "Mommy's alright, love. Though she's sorry sweetie daddy won't be with us for a while."
The angel does his head tilt again and I watch his aura more closely this time so I can figure out what he's thinking.
"I can't tell my son the truth," I answer the unasked question, "even though he's this young it'll still impact him."
The angel simply nods his head seeming to understand my words a lil bit.
"Castiel, can you give me some time to process this before I'm introduced to my brothers?"
"Of course, take as long as you need. Just pray or call for me and I'll be here," he goes to leave but suddenly stops, "Oh yeah."
He places two of his fingers on my forehead and I feel a burning sensation all over my body.
When the feeling goes away I grab the angel's jacket, "What the hell did you do?"
"I put a protection spell and other symbols in enochian all over your skeletal system to protect you from other beings in this world.""
I can feel the magic running through my bones, "My son," I say as I look at Castiel unsure how to voice my question.
"He's a bit young and as you felt it is a bit painful. I will put the words on him if that is what you so wish to have protection on him then I'll do so."
I look at my son and wonder if what I'm about to say will make me a horrible mother, "Yes, Please put the wards on Jacob so he can be protected. "
The angel nods his head as he places two fingers on my son's forehead and Jacob doesn't even flinch or much less make a sound.
