first chapter is almost out. This is a letter Sky wrote to her brother, Jonathan, a few months after the end of the prologue regarding a demon/man named Sebastian.
Dear Jonathan,
Sebastian.
I don't even know where to begin with him. How do I beat him? He's invincible. Not a chink in his armor. You would know what to do. You always do did.
I remember Dad wanted us to track down a demon in Red Pines who had gone on a killing spree. When we tracked him down, he turned out to be much more powerful than we thought and it had ripped my seraph blade from my hand. I was scared because I didn't know what to do in that moment. It would have killed me. Easily. But you saved me, you killed the demon. I haven't really been scared since them because I made sure I always knew what to do but now I don't.
This man monster, is unbeatable. He knows things about me. Things he shouldn't. Things that only god and his angels know. I don't know what to do. I'm scared I miss you. I miss you so much. Why did you have to leave me Johnny? If you were here, we could be happy. Be normal. Mom and Dad are dead. They left with you. In the accident. But I always found their absence more of a relief than anything else. Is that wrong? I don't care. I hated them. For what they did to us. To mom. To everything. He was someone I was afraid of. Terrified of. But you were always there. Always had my back, defending me from his words, protecting me from him, from everything. Always. I love you, my heroic older brother. But I don't understand why you had to leave. You weren't there to protect me. You left me as you burned in the car fire. But it's okay. I know you tried. Tried to save me. You pushed me out of the burning car. To save me. But you didn't save me. Because I was left alone. You are one of the few, few beings in life I have ever truly loved. But you left.
Just like the boy I fell in love with, Jace. The boy you would have hated because you would have known that even though he loved, loved, loved me, he left, left, left me. But after all, didn't you? I haven't spoken to the boy since he left. He was so, so angry at me, but also, so, so heartbroken. Because of me. He walked out because of the one other person I loved. Because the boy didn't understand that all of the many, many other boys I devoted my time to, was really only one.
He didn't understand because I couldn't tell him about my angel, about Cassie, who took different male vessels each time we met. Careful not to stay too long, for they weren't his true vessels, but now, ever since he met the Winchesters, he uses Jimmy.
The Winchesters. Two great men, but I also hate them, for taking away my angel. I barely see him anymore because of him. Dean. Cassie comes running whenever that man calls, like he used to do for me. So I guess, in away, he left too. Just like everyone I love.
Except Scarlett. You would find her funny. She is quite so, though I will never admit it to her. No, she never left me, because even though all of our years of companionship. She doesn't know me at all. Not the true me anyway. She never left my side, because I kept her in the dark about my life but I had to leave her. Because she was beginning to scratch the surface. But after a few months, I came back. Because I need her. She still doesn't know most of the things about me. But that's okay, because she thinks she knows the whole truth.
I'm scared. I don't know what he might do, because he might take the one person I truly have left to love and there wouldn't be anything I'd be able to do to stop him.
I haven't written you a letter in years. Since I was thirteen, actually. Because I stopped needing you because I stopped being afraid. But I need you now, I'm scared. I've always needing you. Because really, I've never stopped being afraid.
I love you, Johnny,
Forever and always,
Sky
