Dean shook his head. These people are crazy. No not crazy... just different. Eccentric. Weird. Different. In any case, his dad wasn't going to like this. Then again since when did John Winchester like anything new?
They had shown up this morning, first came a new looking black Escalade. Followed shortly by a red Jeep, a deep blue 1969 Camaro, a black Ford F150, a bright green VW Bug, a sleek grey Mercedes Benz, and finally 2 moving trucks.
"They must be rich," Sam had commented when he saw the parade.
"They have to be. They bought Heaven's Land after all," Dean said. Heaven's Land was the huge estate across from the Winchester's fairly large estate. It had been abandoned for several years but still looked like great property. Sam envied it's library, Dean envied it's garage; which was plenty big to hold the six cars and more.
After watching them leave the cars, Dean decided there was ten of them. No wait, there's two more. Damn, twelve people.
Three people exited the Escalade, a man, a boy, and a girl. From the Jeep two people exited. A girl, from the drivers side, and a black boy. The Camaro held another boy and another girl. The truck only held one boy. The Bug held the youngest looking pair, two boys. Finally the Mercedes Benz held two boys, one black the other white. Twelve people... wow.
Dean watched through binoculars as they unloaded things from the trucks. Two of the girls, Jeep girl and Camaro girl, were working as hard as the guys. Escalade girl was off to the side whispering to Escalade boy. The younger kids were chasing each other around the front lawn, getting out their pent up energy. Dean shook his head and went to go watch a movie.
As soon as the moving trucks were gone, one of the older boys was made to mow the lawn, another left with one of the older girls and two of the younger boys, the other older girl was started on the front flower bed, the two Escalade kids were set about unpacking lawn furniture and such, finally he saw one of the younger kids climbing around on top of the roof cleaning off debris.
Dean specifically watched the present older girl. She was very pretty from what he could see. She had messy black hair, a nice face (from this distance), and a nice figure. She worked quickly on the flower beds, tearing out the weeds, planting flowers, adding rocks around them. Dean watched with interest as she pulled up a plant that, even from this distance, he could tell was a big thistle, with her bare hands. Dean finally stopped watching and went to make a snack.
When Dean came back from curiosity he found that they were done with lawn work. He saw the black haired girl sitting in a lawn chair reading a book. She looked very calm, from this distance. Suddenly, though, Escalade girl ran by. It looked like she was screeching. Black haired girl looked up with a sudden ferocity and watched as Escalade boy chased Escalade girl around. He had at least three suckers in his mouth and was holding scissors. Dean shook his head, but continued watching.
Black haired girl got up calmly as the two kids left, laid her book down on the chair and marched inside. In a few moments she came back out, holding a small package. She picked up her book, sat back down, and opened the book. Absentmindedly, she opened up the package and withdrew a very long and very lethal looking double-sided knife. She started twirling it with her one hand as she continued to read, only stopping twirling it when she turned a page.
Escalade kids were back, but this time black haired girl didn't look up. She just aimed and threw the knife without stopping reading. Dean watched as the knife flew threw the air. Escalade boy ducked to the right to escape the knife. It stuck in a tree behind him. The boy started yelling at black haired girl, Escalade girl just stood there looking scared for her life. She probably had a good reason. Black haired girl didn't even lose concentration on her book, she just calmly reached into the package and withdrew another long knife. She started twirling it again. Her mouth moved once and the boy was running back to the house like Hell Hounds were after him. The girl sprinted out of there quickly too. Black haired girl smiled softly at her book.
"Holy shit. They are insane," Dean said to himself. Suddenly he grinned, "I can't wait to meet them."
Knock. Knock. Knock. Dean knocked on the door. In one hand he held a gift basket, in the other he held an invitation. Escalade boy opened the door, despite yelling coming from inside the house for him not to do so.
"Hi there!" the boy said cheerfully, "I'm Gabriel."
"Uh, hi there Gabriel. I'm Dean Winchester. I live across the street," Dean said with a smile.
"Dad! Micheal! Castiel! Ken doll is here!" Gabriel shouted over his shoulder before turning back to grin at Dean. Dean raised an eyebrow at the sound of scuffling, crashing, and small screeches. Suddenly black haired girl opened the door the rest of the way and shoved Gabriel back into the house. She was wearing a nice dress suit that actually looked good on her, and had makeup on, but her hair was a mess. She stared at him, face slightly red. But what caught his attention the most was her huge blue eyes.
"Um, sorry about that." She finally said. She stuck her hand in front of her, "I'm Castiel." Dean raised his eyebrow. He grinned at her flirtatiously.
"Castiel huh? That's quite an exotic name," He took her and shook it, "I'm Dean, Dean Winchester."
"Castiel is the name of an angel. The angel of Thursday actually," Castiel stated quickly. Her eyes were still wide.
"Gabriel, Micheal, Castiel... are all of your family angels?"
"Um yes actually. That's our last name. Angel," Castiel mumbled, looking at her feet.
"Wow, cool. So how many of you are there?" Dean asked friendly like.
"Don't you know? You've been watching us since we got here."
"How did you-"
"We have ways. One of them includes Samandriel watching you through his own pair of binoculars," She said with a smug smile. Dean's face went red, "12."
"Huh?"
"There's 12 of us. Well actually there's 11 of us plus Gabriel girlfriend Kali. So 12," she said smugly. "How many Winchesters are there?"
"Three. Me, Dad, and Sam," He answered. Suddenly the door opened again and Dean found himself staring at a young man with dark hair and dark eyes. They young man stared at him for a minute, looking him up and down as if he were scrutinizing every bit of Dean. Suddenly Dean wished he had put on his nice shoes and one of his pair of jeans that didn't have holes in them. He felt ridiculously red necked compared to these two, both of whom were wearing suits. Finally the man gave him a small smile and offered his hand to shake.
"Hello Mr. Winchester, I'm Micheal."
"Please just Dean. No Mr. That's my dad. And even then it's not," Dean said, shaking Micheal's hand.
"Would you like to come in Dean? My dearest sister here can make the unfortunate introductions," he said, smirking at Castiel. Castiel's eyes got even wider, if that's possible.
"No. Mike please. Can't you?" she pleaded, grabbing his arm.
"Castiel," Micheal said in a warning tone. He sounded irritated. Castiel dropped his arm and looked at her feet again. Micheal seemed to straighten a bit more, he raised one eyebrow expectantly.
"My deepest apologies Micheal," she mumbled.
"Pardon? I could understand you behind all that mumbling," he said seriously. Castiel looked up, eyes flashing, she grit her teeth before forcing a look of false sincerity on her face.
"I am sorry Micheal," she finally said, enunciating every syllable. Micheal sighed before walking to the garage.
"I'm going to visit Addie," He said over his shoulder.
"But that's a day trip!" Castiel yelled back at him.
"Exactly! Have fun, Luc is holing himself up in the basement, and Dad's creating. So you know what that means," he shouted back as the garage door raised.
"Oh no," she whispered. She stared at her feet for a minute. Dean looked around awkwardly. Suddenly her head shot up, "Micheal Arch Angel! Get back here! Dammit!" She yelled running toward the garage as a car sped backed out, "No! Micheal please! Damn you! You stupid son of a bitch!" She screamed at him as he sped away. She stomped her foot. And stomped back to the house. Stopping at the stairs to the porch she closed her eyes. Opening them she plastered a smile on her face.
"Sorry about that Dean Winchester. Not exactly a best first impression is it?" she asked scratching the back of her neck.
"It's okay. Dad and I had a big drunk blow out in front Sam's first girlfriend," Dean assured her. She gave another small smile, this one looked genuine.
"Well I guess I'll introduce you to the family," She said opening the door. Surprisingly to Dean, there wasn't like seven ears pressed against it. Dean followed her into a really big hall, with only a few boxes left in it, "You might want to cover your ears real quick," She said to him. Hesitantly he lifted his hands to his ears. Castiel put her fingers to her lips and let out a loud shrill whistle that made Dean cringe even with his hands over his ears. After she finished, he put his hands down and stared at her, wondering how such a noise just came from her. There was a second of silence before clattering and running noises reverberated from everywhere. Suddenly 8 people materialized in front of him. All smiling.
"Okay everyone! Pay attention. I have two- no three announcements. The first being that this is our neighbor, Dean Winchester," she turned to him for a moment, "I'll introduced them all in a minute. Any way, the second is that Dad is working today and Micheal has gone to visit Addie, so I'm in charge because we all know that there is no way in Heaven or Hell that Luc's going to come out of his new den for at least a day. Finally the third one his that you all must be on your most angelic behavior tonight because we will be having company." A round of groans were received.
"Who's the company?" One of the boys asked.
"You'll have to figure it out. Now for introductions," Castiel said, grabbing Dean's arm she pulled him to the youngest looking child, "This is Samandriel."
"You look very nice with your shirt off," the young boy promptly said. Castiel blushed and slapped the boy on the back of his head.
"You must be the little spy who was spying on me spying on you," Dean said, leaning down to look the boy in the face.
"Yes except I am ten times more affective then you. That's your problem, you are too decent to spy on a neighbor all day," the boy said blatantly. Dean smiled at him and ruffled his hair. Castiel steps over to the next child. The next one is a little black boy.
"I'm Raphael, I'm adopted. You drink to much beer," The boy said before Castiel could say anything. Dean raised an eyebrow and Castiel snapped her fingers in front of the boy's face, making him flinch. She shook her head and moved on to the next one. It was the one who had asked about company.
"This is Balthazar," she said. She closed her eyes with a grimace. Dean looked at her face, amused. That is he was amused until the boy reached up and grabbed his shirt, pulled him in, and gave him a quick kiss.
"I like you, love," He said after Dean had recoiled, surprised, "You're a lot less of a stick in ass then the last guy that Cassie introduced us to." Dean looked at Castiel, she mouthed sorry. Then quickly pulled him to the next one.
"This here is Uriel don't worry he won't kiss you," she said gesturing to the other black boy. The boy just nodded at Dean, eyes squinted. Castiel moved on, "You've met Gabriel, this is his girlfriend Kali." Kali was a cute little girl. Castiel moved on to the next boy. The boy stuck his hand out.
"I'm Zachariah. I don't like you." Dean nodded and shook his hand.
"Good to know," Dean said as he moved on to the last girl in the line. She smiled sweetly at him.
"Hi! I'm Anna! I'm Castiel's twin. I think you are very nice," she said, then she gave him a hug. He was surprised by the gesture but awkwardly hugged her back.
"Thank you, I think you are too," Dean said with a smile.
"Oh you just haven't pissed me off yet," she said honestly, a smile still on her face.
"Ah I see, I'll try not to do that then."
"Yeah, I get kinda Glenn Close."
"Okay then," Dean said with a nod. Castiel touched his arm.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to Luc and maybe Dad," she said.
Castiel pulled Dean along by his shirt sleeve. Dean smiled at her back as he as pulled along. How old is she? 17? 18? Old enough to drive. Dean decided she was probably about Sammy's age. If so she would still be in highschool, she would probably be an upper classman. Dean was soon to turn 22. That's 4 some years between them.
Dean shook his head and cursed himself silently. He just met the girl and he was already trying to figure out age difference? What's wrong with me? I just met her. He thought to himself. She's the new neighbor, not some one night stand. You don't do one night stands with neighbors, it doesn't end well.
Castiel looked back at him and gave him a small smile. Oh god, those eyes! Dean thought to himself. Castiel is very pretty, probably a 8 1/2 on Dean's scale of beauty, but that's not factoring in her eyes. Her eyes were so blue they made a perfect Autumn sky look like the dullest color on earth. Whenever Dean looked into those eyes he felt like he was swimming in a deep crystal clear lagoon, with a sapphire waterfall, silver and black trees, and a sky of the bluest blue that ever dared to even try to blue. Castiel's eyes seemed to sparkle, especially now that they looked back at him with nervous excitement.
Suddenly Castiel stopped and turned around, slamming into Dean. He quickly grabbed onto her out of reflex as he stumbled backwards.
"Oops sorry," she mumbled quietly, her face blushed as she realized that Dean was holding her. Dean's cheeks momentarily turned their own shade of red as he dropped his arms and took a step backwards. Castiel smiled again and nodded back at a corridor, "New house, different basement door location, I walked right past the corridor we were supposed to go down." Dean nodded his understanding and followed her as she headed down the new corridor.
After making several twist and turns they were standing in front of a black door with "Gate to Hell" painted on it in decorative flame design letters.
"Luc's room," Castiel said nodding to the door.
"Wait," Dean stopped her as she moved forward to open, "It seems like everyone except Anna has angel names."
"Anna isn't actually her name. Her name is Anael," Castiel corrected.
"Okay, so everyone has angel names. Does that mean that Luc stands for..."
"Lucifer? Yes."
"Okay... alright, let's go meet the Devil," Dean said, nodding to the door. Castiel smirked, and mumbled something that sounded like, "you have no idea."
Quietly Castiel entered the stairway dark stairway, Dean followed silently.
"Watch your step. He already disconnected the lights for the stairwell," Castiel whispered. Carefully Dean found his way down the stairs. Reaching the bottom he bumped into Castiel.
"Sorry," He mumbled.
"We are at the crossroads," Castiel said, "Luc named it himself. If you turn right there's a tunnel system that leads to a cave right by the lake in the back woods that Luc thinks we should call "Nice Purgatory". If you turn left you find yourself in the furnace room. But straight ahead is Hell."
"Wow, I think your family really got into name role playing," Dean commented.
"Unfortunately just Micheal and Luc are anything like their namesakes. In any case, shall we head into perdition?" Castiel said.
"Sure," Dean answered. Castiel twisted a doorknob that he couldn't see and the door swung open.
The room was painted in fire details. It looked like a picture of Hell itself. Fire was everywhere, the whole room glowed with fire. Suddenly Dean realize that that was because of black lights that made it glow. He looked and saw a young man sitting in a big chair staring at him.
"Welcome to Hell. I am Lucifer," The man said. He was dressed fairly casually, had blonde hair that also glowed, and dark eyes.
"Hi, I'm Dean Winchester. I'm you guys' neighbor," Dean introduced himself, stepping forward with his hand out. Lucifer stared at him for a while before finally reaching out and taking his hand.
"Nice to meet you Dean Winchester. How do you like my brothers and sisters so far?"
"Most of them seem really nice."
"Zachariah and Raphael?" Lucifer asked, looking back at Castiel.
"Zachariah and Raphael," She confirmed. Dean turned to look at her and gasped. Her whole body glowed, her face, her hair, her clothes, all of it glowed. Especially her eyes. She looked at him and saw his face, "Gabriel has put stuff in all of our products and detergent that glows in black lights," She explained. Dean nodded but couldn't take his eyes off her.
"You have no idea how hard it is to get that stuff out," Lucifer comments from behind, "The other's don't mind because it doesn't change their appearance upstairs, but I would rather not glow like a pixie every time I enter my room." Dean nods.
"Well we had better be going. See you sometime Luc," Castiel said. Castiel starts pulling Dean towards the door.
"Have a good day Dean Winchester."
"You too Lucifer," Dean said with one last nod before leaving. Soon him and Castiel are back in a sunlit corridor.
"Do you want to try to meet my dad?" She asked him. Dean shrugged his shoulders.
"Sure, why not?" Castiel just nodded and started walking. She weaved their way through the corridors back to the main hall, and over to the big spiral staircase. She started climbing, so Dean followed. Dean followed her up four flights of stairs. By the time they finished the fourth flight, Dean was pretty winded.
"And I thought I was in shape," Dean said when they stopped, "Are we there?"
"No, I was just letting you catch your breath that's all," She answered. Dean groaned. Castiel smiled, "Come on," She said as she walked to one of the doors on this floor. Dean followed her in and found himself in a very expensive looking suite. The floor was the iridescent color of pearls and the walls looked kind of goldish. There was a huge bed with Gold blankets and pillows the color of rubies. There was also very nice looking solid Oak dresser and a matching coffee table. Castiel walked over and opened some double doors that led to a balcony. She turned around and looked at him.
"Feel like doing some free climbing?" She asked.
"Seriously?" Dean asked, eyes wide.
"Completely."
"Hell yeah," Dean answered eagerly. He hurried out onto the balcony and turned around to look. It didn't look hard at all. The outside of the house was made from stone, so there was plenty of grip on their. Not to mention that the roof wasn't that far away and there was already a rope hanging from it. Castiel backed up to the edge of of the balcony and took a running jump. She landed on the wall, latched on, and immediately started climbing. It wasn't long before she had made it to the rope and had grabbed on. Pushing away from the was she pulled herself up to the roof with her arms. As soon as she was on the roof she turned around to look at Dean. She smirked at the impressed look on his face. He nodded before starting climbing himself.
Soon they were both on the roof.
"You're not to bad," Castiel said to Dean who was massaging his hand.
"Thanks, you're pretty impressive yourself," he replied with a flirtatious smile. Castiel rolled her eyes then started walking across the roof. They area of the roof they had climbed up on was a corner, one side faced his house. Dean couldn't help thinking that the roof could use some help. Castiel climbed over the top of the roof and started going down the other side. When Dean got up there he found himself looking at another balcony, except that this one was covered in art supplies.
"Castiel, darling," a voice called out, "Can you grab my star dust?"
"Are you making another angel father?" she asked.
"Yes, and this one is really going to sparkle," the voice replied. Dean looked around, not seeing anyone. He looked at Castiel who was smiling softly. She walked onto the balcony and grabbed a big jar of a sparkling powder. Then she backed up and took a running jump off the balcony. At first Dean thought he had just watched someone commit suicide, but then he finally notice that she landed on the a little deck on the tree next to the house. She skipped into the center of a platform and handed the jar to a man. She leaned over and said something to him and he nodded. Running again she lept back onto the balcony and walked over to Dean.
"Come, father wishes to meet you," she said, grabbing his hand.
"Do I have to jump?"
"Yes, but do not fear, I will jump with you."
"So this is a jump of faith?" Dean asked with a nervous laugh. Electricity was traveling up his arm at the feel of her hand on his. Castiel laughed a wonderful laugh.
"I suppose you could say so. You may hold my hand as we jump if you wish," she offered. Dean nodded quickly. Castiel grinned at him, "Okay, when we are running, pretend you have angel wings flapping behind you, then when we jump extend your other arm and pretend you are flying. It makes the whole experience much more enjoyable." Dean nodded and smiled at her, "Okay, one. Two. THREE!" then they ran and jumped.
Dean did what Castiel suggested and when they landed he turned and looked at her.
"That was amazing! It felt like I really was flying," He said. She smiled and nodded excitedly.
"Come here son," a deep voice commanded. Castiel smiled at him and nodded at the figure of a man in front of them. She pulled him over there. Just before her father turned around Castiel looked down at their still connected hands and released Dean. When Dean looked at her quickly her cheeks were flushed. He smiled. Mr. Angel turned around, "Hello, I'm Chuck Shurely Angel, but you will call me Chuck."
"Nice to meet you Chuck, I'm Dean Winchester. Your neighbor from across the road," Dean said, reaching out to shake the man's hand. Chuck smiled at him.
"Has my family been good to you?"
"Yes, everyone has been kind."
"You are lying," Chuck said with a knowing grin.
"I- yes. I am," Dean replied with a sheepish grin.
"Zachariah and Raphael?" Chuck asked looking at Castiel. She pursed her lips and nodded, "Those two are the worst at meeting new people," Chuck mumbled to himself, he looked back at Dean, "Balthazar didn't try to kiss you did he?" Dean nodded. Chuck shook his head, "My apologize about my children. Has Castiel been treating you well? She tends to be one of the better represenetives of the family."
"Yes, she's been wonderful," Dean said. He saw Chuck give his daughter a sly look and realized that what he said could be taken several ways. By Castiel's face he could tell that her father and she had noticed as well, "I mean that she, uh, she's been wonderful company. Very nice, uh, funny, she's a good conversationalist," Dean recovered. Chuck smiled.
"Good. She used to be overly shy you know. But when you have brothers like Balthazar and Gabriel who force you to be social, and brothers like Uriah, Raphael, and Lucifer you kinda want to show the world that there's people in your family who isn't social impaired or creepy. Castiel is really the perfect balance for everyone. Sensible when her brothers are foolish, friendly when they are insociable, kind when they're rude. If I didn't have Castiel and Micheal I don't know how I'd get anything done. They always make sure everything's working well," Chuck said. Dean remembered Micheal and Castiel's blowout when he first arrived. Looking over at Castiel he saw that she was thinking of the same thing.
"Oh that reminds me," Castiel said snapping her fingers, "Micheal went to visit Addie. He just left about a half hour ago." Chuck nodded slowly. Then he looked up at Castiel hope in his face.
"Lucifer?"
"No chance."
"I'm so sorry dear," Chuck said putting a hand on her arm, "But you know how it is. I have to work when I get like this."
"I know Father," Castiel said, her head fell. Chuck pulled her into a hug. She smiled up at him. After he released her she kissed him on the cheek. He then looked at Dean and stuck his hand out for Dean to shake. Dean took it and gave it a good hearty shake.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Dean, but I have to get back to work. Castiel will show you out, or wherever."
"Good day Chuck. Good luck on whatever you're making," Dean said with a smile. Chuck waved and headed back to his work area. Dean and Castiel took a running start and jumped onto the balcony.
Castiel showed Dean to the door. Everyone said good bye, well except for Zachariah who said good riddance.
"You gonna be okay tonight? You seem pretty upset about being in charge," Dean asked when they were alone on the porch.
"You think that taken care of this group would be any fun? Yeah I'll be fine, I do it a lot actually. It's not really that bad. But thank you," Castiel answered with a smile.
"Well one things for sure. The neighborhood's gonna be a lot more interesting with your family around. I gotta get, have fun," Dean said with a wink.
"Okay, you too. Bye Dean Winchester. See ya around."
"Yeah, see ya."
Wow that turned out a lot longer then I expected it too! Well hope you enjoyed it! Review, favorite, and follow! Love you all!
