Michelle POV
"Alrighty, let's go!" I said as I opened the door to get out of the car. After sitting in the car for a long time, I needed to get out and walk around.
"Where do you think you're going?" Dean asked.
"Outside? I don't want to stay in here, I'm tired of sitting around and doing nothing," I answered back.
"Uhh no you aren't. You're staying in here while we're out." I could sense the seriousness in his voice but I still wanted to go outside and nothing he said could stop me.
"I'll take care of myself and I won't get in the way, heck, I'll help you guys if you want. Sam, Castiel, what do you guys think?" I turned to them who then turned to each other and seemed to communicate through their thoughts. I kept looking at them until they began to speak.
"She is better off coming with us. If she's in the car, no one will be there to protect her if there is trouble," Castiel said, his demeanor remaining the same throughout.
"He has a point Dean..." Sam said.
"Fine..." said Dean, his voice showing his defeat in the argument. I stepped out of the car and stretched myself out, letting a loud yawn escape my mouth. I looked around, taking in my surroundings. The town we were in was small and hardly anyone was in sight, it looked like a ghost town. The guys walked towards the back of the car and opened the trunk. I followed them, curious to see what was inside.
"Guns, salt, and water? This is what you use to hunt demons? I don't see how it's helpful but okay..." I said. I mean, salt and water? I just don't understand how that would kill demons maybe the guns but salt and water are just out there. Dean handed me a jug full of the water and it wasn't until I lifted it up when I noticed there was a rosary in it. It must be holy water.
"You throw this on the demons, kapish?"
"I'm not dumb Dean, I know what to do. Anything else I need to know?"
"Don't get too close to them, they'll drag you down with them but I'm assuming you already knew that..."
"Ha ha very funny but I was serious. I have absolutely no interest in dying today or tomorrow. And I don't want you guys to get hurt because of me so I need to be informed of how all of this works."
"We'll tell you along the way but for now, let's go."
We walked around, looking for any sign of people and other than the occasion person, nobody was here. Sam and Dean walked ahead of me, I walked in the middle, and Castiel was in the back, probably to send me somewhere else if things got really bad, which there was a high probability of happening. We went into a building that looked like an apartment complex and continued the search there. I heard some rumbling noises upstairs and told them. Sam and Dean walked up the stairs, with Castiel and I close behind.
Once we made our way up the stairs, the noises got louder and louder. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two figures ran past us. "There," I whispered as I pointed to the room they had gone into. They ran into the room and soon heard 2 gunshots. I flinched at the sound of the loud shots and stopped in my tracks but after a couple of seconds, I recovered. We walked into the room and saw the two demons standing still. Sam was reading something aloud from a small brownish colored book.
"What's he saying? I doesn't sound like English..." I asked Castiel.
"He is conducting an ancient ritual that will take the demons out of the humans. The demons take over the humans as their vessels when the humans are dead."
"A vessel?"
"Yes, a vessel. Demons and Angels take them so they can appear or else we would be puffs of smoke, unseen by others. There is a catch for Angels. We must ask and be given permission to take over another human or else we cannot use them." I looked at the demons who had black smoke coming out of their mouths and suddenly heard loud screaming. The bodies dropped to the floor as the black smoke escaped out the window. I stared in awe of what had just happened. I knelt down near the lifeless bodies and touched them, their bodies were ice cold. They had been dead for a while.
"That was just...umm... different..." I managed to say as I sat down, still trying to comprehend the situation.
"You'll get used to it soon," Dean said.
"I better because if I don't, I'm pretty much screwed aren't I?"
"Pretty much, so learn to deal with it," he replied.
We left the building, still careful of anything that could pop out at us. I admit this day has been a little hectic but there is something about it that is just exciting, like an adrenaline rush. I could get used to this life. As we crossed the street, I could sense someone was following us, something that was no longer human. I quickly turned around and saw one of these demons, who surprisingly looked really human even though something about them radiated demon. I threw some of the holy water on them and that temporarily held them back, the water only burned them a little.
"Guys," I hollered at them, "a little help please!" They ran over to where I was but before they had time to act, the black smoke escaped the demon and the body collapsed to the ground. I took a couple steps back until I bumped into one of the guys. I turned around and saw that it was Sam. I apologized and moved ahead.
"You're learning fast" Dean said, like he was surprised.
"What can I say? You are a great teacher," I said back, a hint of sarcasm in my voice. Dean didn't sense the sarcasm in my voice at first but after thinking over it for a bit, he did a mocking laugh.
We went into another building, this one was only one story tall. The room was practically empty with boxes scattered around. The large windows let the bright sun flood in but something happened, the weather seemed to change. Instead of being a sunny day, the clouds covered the sun and it began to rain. I could hear thunder on the horizon with strong winds rattling the windows. The glass from the windows shattered onto us, leaving us with scratches minimal blood loss.
"Damnit, not this again," Dean said. He sounded frustrated; I didn't know what he was referring to when he said, "not this again."
I began to hear a high pitched sound that sounded like whispers but when I looked around to see who was whispering, I saw no one.
"Cover your ears and shut your eyes," Castiel said calmly. I looked at Dean and Sam who were on their knees, covering their eyes as the sounds got louder. They looked to be in a world of pain. I closed my eyes when the light got brighter. And then it all stopped.
"What was that?" I asked, still trying to catch my breath.
"Well, some call it a miracle, or as these two would like to call it (referring to the brother), a curse," the man said. He looked sort of old and was sort of bald, although there were a few white hairs here and there.
"So who are you? Are you one of Castiel's friends?"
"I'm Zachariah, and no I am not one of his friends, more like his boss." I looked at Cas who nodded his head "yes." I walked towards the group, always keeping my eye on this Zachariah guy, I didn't trust him one bit.
"What do you want with them?"
He began walking towards us, his eyes focused on me, like he was trying to read my thoughts. I looked away and hoped that someone would just speak up.
"I know what you want, and the answer is still NO," Dean said, now he was angry.
"I was afraid you might say that. Dean, I didn't want to do this but you aren't leaving me with much choices." He pointed to me and somehow with just one point, threw me to the wall and left me suspended in the air against the wall. I could hardly breathe, he was cutting off the oxygen to me. I gasped for air.
"Let her go!" Dean demanded but it was no use, Zachariah wouldn't let go.
"Not until you say YES to him Dean, say YES to him."
Dean looked back at me and I threw him a reassuring face. "No," he said.
All I could think about was how I wanted to be out of there. Anywhere would be nice as long as I'm not there. What I wouldn't give to be laying down on a bed in some nice hotel room. I closed my eyes and kept thinking about that place and then it happened. I opened my eyes and saw Dean, Sam and Cas in a different room. I was no longer on the wall gasping for air. I was laying on a bed in what looked to be a hotel.
Finally some peace and quiet.
