Freedom.

It never tasted so sweet as it did at that very moment.

There had only been one thing ruining what would have been the perfect moment.

He was no longer there.

My chosen vessel had gone – and yet, I know he had been there. He had been there as I rose. I had felt him there. Him and my brother's vessel.

Someone had interfered!

So, I had to go to an alternate plan. Hundreds, thousands of years spent in nothing by imprisoned agony allows for one to come up with many "alternate plans" for a situation.

I could not simply wait around for Sam Winchester to arrive. (I mean, I suppose I could, but I had had enough of simply waiting.)

And for now, Nicholas would do just fine.

It did not take much. It was surprisingly easy to bend the broken human to me, to have him see my way. Of course, you cannot say that I lied to him. I did not lie at all.

Every single word I spoke to Nicholas was the truth.

So what if I understated or twisted that truth a bit?

That is still not a lie.

Not really.
