Demietra's POV
This was never how I imagined I was going to die. Torn to shreds by an invisible mutt. How glamorous. I could hear them, scratching at door. They were strong enough to tear chunks of wood into tiny little splinters. "We can't hold them back much longer!" Dan exclaimed clearly putting all his effort into keeping what remained of the door shut. I flung my arms around him. "I'm sorry Dan. Good luck stopping the apocalypse. Find Zoe." I mumbled. I let go and smiled up at him. "Remember what I taught you. And don't be stupid." I reminded him. He stepped away from the door. "I'm sorry it has to be this way, Demi." He softly said. I blinked through the tears that were now appearing in my eyes.
"Don't be. I finally get to be with my parents." I replied, closing my eyes. I felt the tears fall down my cheeks, as I accepted my fate. I just hoped that Dan could deal with all this on his own. I suppose he had Tom and Danielle. My body began to shake, but I tried to not show my fear. I didn't want to go to Hell. I didn't want to become a demon! Hell is where all people who made deals with demons went. I tried to calm myself. My humanity would win over. But then my mind strayed back to Ashleigh. She was human once, and look what happened to her. I felt someone take my hand comfortingly. I partially opened my eyes to see Dan by my side. "What are you doing? Get out of here! They'll rip you apart." I asked him, trying to take my hand back.
"I don't want you be alone." He mumbled back, clinging onto my hand desperately. "You've been alone most of your life, and you're scared. You don't have to be afraid anymore. I'm gonna make sure that the angels get up and rescue you from Hell. You won't be alone again. Not as long as I'm breathing."
"Thank you. Why are you being nice to me?" I asked, noticing that the scratching had stopped. "And if you tell me it's because you feel sorry for me, I will chuck you off the nearest bridge. I don't need sympathy." Dan chuckled.
"No. It's because I think you need a friend. Is anyone else concerned that they've stopped?" He asked, gesturing at the doorway. As Tom went to reply, the door flew open, and in stepped a familiar figure. It was a young man, with bright blue eyes, and dressed in a trench coat. "Castiel?" I softly asked, stepping away from Dan. "What are you doing here?" Castiel raised his Angel blade, and started cleaning it in the end of his coat. He was covered in a black liquid, that I realised was blood. Hellhound blood.
"I was summoned." He replied in his deep voice, looking at Danielle. "You are safe for now, Demietra Hale." He added, placing his hand over my soul bracelet. "You must be Daniel. It's nice to meet you at last. I have a mission for you." He clicked his fingers, and when I turned around, Keri was gone. "She does not need to know anything. Seeing as you let Lucifer out, I think it is only fair that you lock him back up." Castiel said, producing a stone bowl out of his trench coat. He pulled out a table, and put it opposite the now closed entrance to Lucifer's cage. He then turned to face me. "Give me your arm." He demanded. I knew what he was doing. He was doing a demon summoning ritual. I'd done them numerous times back when my parents died. I rolled up my sleeve, and held out my arm. "You realise that this won't work on Lucifer, right? He's too powerful to be summoned by a ritual like this." I said, as he raised his Angel blade. He cut a small slice into my arm, and placed it over the bowl. Once a few drops of my blood had got into the bowl, he placed it onto the table and healed my arm. "I am aware." He answered. "I am not trying to summon Lucifer."
"Then what are you doing?" Dan asked. Castiel looked at him as though it were obvious.
"Tell me, have any of you heard of the Four Horsemen?" Castiel asked.
"Yes. They're Lucifer's horsemen or something. Famine, Pestilence, Death and... War. Right?" I replied and Castiel nodded.
"How do you know that?" Dan asked in awe. I shrugged.
"I do my research." I answered. "What have the Horsemen got to do with..." I trailed off. "You're not summoning them, are you?"
"Have you gone mad, Castiel?" Danielle asked, stepping to his side. "I know what you're doing."
"Then you'll know it's our only choice. Do not question my judgement, Danielle." Castiel calmly replied. "Don't let your prejudice get in the way. You've already made that mistake once." Danielle glared at him, anger in her eyes.
"It was the right thing to do and you know it!" She snapped.
"Sentencing an innocent woman to Hell is not the correct thing to do, Danielle." Castiel said.
"What is she talking about?" I asked.
"There are four tablets. Each is held by one of the Four Horsemen. If you put these tablets together, it will give you the location of a weapon that will kill Lucifer. Lucifer will unleash these Horsemen on his own in order to cause chaos. We must find the Horsemen and the tablets to defeat Lucifer and save your friend." Danielle interrupted. "That's not what I asked. Castiel, what do you mean by sentencing an innocent woman to Hell? What woman?" I replied, looking directly at the Angel. He turned to look at me. "Years ago, Danielle refused a woman access to heaven. I was just an ordinary Angel back then, so I could do nothing. That woman was then sent to Hell. You know what happened to her after that." Castiel replied. And then it dawned on me.
"You mean Ashleigh? She's the way she is because of you?" I asked, now looking at Danielle. She looked back at me, fury now in her eyes.
"Do not judge me, human. Your species has done much worse things!" Danielle shouted, taking a step towards me. When she produced her Angel blade, Castiel stopped putting herbs into the bowl, and stepped in front of me. "You can't harm a Marker, Danielle." Castiel reminded her, raising his own Angel Blade. Danielle sighed loudly and disappeared. "So, what are you actually doing?" Dan asked. I turned to Tom, expecting for him to have gone. He still in the corner, watching Castiel in silence. "There's only one person who knows where the Horsemen are contained. And you just locked her up." Castiel replied. I let out a sigh.
"Are you kidding me? You're letting her out? After everything she did?" I questioned. Castiel must have gone mad.
"It's this, or we let the apocalypse happen. Which would you prefer, Demietra?" Tom said, finally speaking up. Dan looked down at his feet, and asked,
"Is this the only way we can save Zoe?" I stared at him as if he'd gone mad.
"Am I the only one who sees a problem with this plan? We are letting the bloody Queen of Hell back out! All that happened was for nothing! Kloe died for nothing!" I shouted, which caused Dan to hold me back. "Kloe was a spy for Ashleigh." Castiel replied emotionlessly.
"I don't care! She was my best friend! I held her in my arms as she died! We are not letting Ashleigh out. End of." I exclaimed, knocking the bowl onto the floor. Castiel watched me blankly. He didn't react at all. Instead, he just clicked his fingers and another bowl appeared in his hands. "Dan, could you restrain her?" Castiel requested. Dan looked at me, and grabbed my arms. I kicked his legs, and he immediately let me go. "Give me the freaking bowl." I commanded, offering out my hands. "I'm not happy about this, but if it'll save Zoe, I'll do it." Castiel handed me the bowl, and I slammed it down on the table.
"Et ad congregandum, Eos coram me."I recited, before lighting a match and throwing it into the bowl. There was a huge blast of wind, and I was forced to look away. When it stopped, and I looked back, Ashleigh was stood in front of me. "What do you want?" She coldly asked.
"We need your help." Castiel replied. She smirked.
"Hello, Castiel. Are you head honcho of these morons now? Great." She replied.
"Look. We didn't release you for fun! We need your help. You let Lucifer out, and now he's inside Zoe! They could be anywhere! Castiel thinks he'll be releasing the Four Horsemen. We need you to tell us where the Horsemen are, so we can find some tablets. Then we can defeat him." I interrupted.
"Oh goody. Hello Demietra. I'd missed your nauseating voice. Tell me, genius, why should I help you?" She questioned. Tom then stepped out of the shadows.
"Because if you don't, it's only a matter of time before Lucifer goes after the demons. Do you want your people to die?" Dan questioned. Ashleigh bit her lip and playfully said, "Let me think about that. Oh yes, I couldn't care less. I'm the Queen of Demons. Not caring is kinda in the job description."
"Ashleigh, help them." Tom calmly commanded. She looked over at him, and confusion appeared on her face.
"Tom, is that you? Why did you let me languish in Hell? I thought you loved me." She softly questioned.
