"Oh c'mon . You won't need that ." She turns her attention to see with how much force Dean is squeezing the knife in his hand.
"Nobody apart Crowley and those two morons outside would be killed with that little toy , besides it's not the time for a fight . I'm here to chat so make yourself comfortable " She said , pushing a chair toward him by only snapping her fingers .
Dean's eyes were fixing her and every move she did . He had no clue about Cain either but at last he wasn't so much of a new character in his life.
"Damn stubborn ! Got the message " She said again seeing that he didn't took her second offer either . " I might get offended " She added as Crowley was sweating at only thinking at how that will feel like.
Her eyes and attention moved at Cain who was standing there speechless . His eyes were fixing her , admiring her.
"You grew up strong and a beauty " Cain said showing her a fade smile ." You finally made a choice. " He added as her expression hardened .
"Everything is not at it seems to be " She answered shortly with the same expression on her face.
"Then how is it ?" Cain asked again as she didn't even blink " When did you decide is time to raise ? … and better yet … why ?" Cain asked again as she took a deep breath .
" We'll have plenty of time to discuss details, Cain ! For now … I'm here to bring you a gift ." She said as her face relaxed a bit .
" A gift ? From you ?! You gott' be kidding me ! " Cain said in disbelieve . "Who send you ? I doubt it was your father . If that was so …you would have been here long time ago. " Cain seemed confident as he waited for an answer .
"Me and my father … never been a good team . Still … you betrayed him , killed the knights and disappear ,that's not the way of doing things " She said doing a few steps around the kitchen .
"So you're here to claim vengeance ?" Cain asked clenching his jaw.
" As I said …me and my father …never worked good together. I'm not here to pay his debts and either to speak for him. " She repeat , throwing him a ring . Cain caught the ring widening his eyes before looking back at her .
"Told you that things ain't the way you thought . I've made my choice !" She finished her line looking straight into Cain's eyes as Cain didn't left hers either . His look had a huge determination in them and she wasn't far from that either .
Dean had no clue what's going on but he knew that the choices she did regarded Colette . Crowley knew her a bit more but not enough to guess what her plans are . Nobody ever knew them and nobody even dared to ask . The only one in the room that seemed to know more about her was Cain and for sure he wasn't gonn' say a word about it.
" If you're father would see you now " Cain added admiring her even more .
That line was the same line that Tara told Dean in the store when she found out that he's working with a demon. Does this words mean the same in her case or is just the other way around ?
"Ok…I'm tired of this shit . Who the hell are you?" Dean broke the silence . He knew that if he'll had to die he'll do it anyway so better sooner than later.
Her eyes turned from Cain to Dean. There were no more darkness in them ,the sun was shining again. She calmed down .
"There're gonn' be a day when you'll have all your answers but now we have company " She said pulling the curtain to show them dozens of demons waiting outside.
Instead of looking concerned Dean turned his attention to Cain because was there for the blade . He knew that those demons won't make a move as long as she's there. He could relate the information by looking at Crowley's dumbest face when he's around her . He was fearing her and if he did the average demons would do it as well.
"What was that ? some kind of a test ?" He asked pissed
"I felt connected to you right from the beginning " Cain said as Crowley finally managed to adjust to the situation. She was standing there looking at Dean and back at Cain. There was definitely something strong between them .
"You and I are very much alike " Cain added making Dean even angrier .
"Except I didn't killed my brother " Dean spat
"You saved yours ! Why ? " Cain asked concerned as She already knew the answers . She knew the time Dean was in hell, she knew the reasons for it and every term from that damn contract he signed.
"Because you never give up on family ! EVER ! " Dean answered proudly making it clear that he'll die for his own.
"Where is your brother now , then ?" Cain asked seeing Dean fighting alone
"I don't know what kind of game you're playing here and I don't really give a dam . Just give me the damn blade ! " Dean demanded as Crowley was surprised of how far Dean was going .
" Sorry Dean! I have nothing to give you " Cain said looking at the ground with sadness in his eyes.
"What ?" He asked pissed. He's been through so many things for a single day just to get that damn blade and he gets nothing in return ?!
"I no longer have the blade. Is gone ! " Cain explained looking at the demons outside.
"Gone? What do you mean gone ?" Crowley's voice suddenly came back making her roll her eyes.
"How ? the spell brought us here to you so it has to be here ! "Crowley said with desperation .
"Guess you'll have to act like a real man now . Don't be scared of the dark …mommy's here ! " She said making Crowley feel nervously again as Dean showed a smirk .
"Your spell brought you to the source of the blade , me " Cain finished his line showing them the mark from his hand.
As seeing it Crowley made a huge cross letting all of them speechless.
"Really?! Now ?" Dean asks ironically as Crowley widens his eyes " It's the bloody mark of Cain."
"From Lucifer itself " Cain said looking into her eyes as she looked back in his . Dean noticed that move…it that supposed to say something about her ?
"The mark and the blade work together and without the mark the blade is useful . Is just an old bone " Cain explains looking at Dean .
"A bone ?" Crowley asked confused
"The jaw's bone of an animal . The jaw bone you used to kill Able ?! " Dean knew that part of the story ,story that was confirmed by Cain's guilty look.
"Because he was God's favorite! " Dean added …
"Able wasn't talking to God …" Cain clarified that part of the story when she continued the sentence for him … "… he was talking with Lucifer . He wanted to make Able his pet and Cain couldn't bare to watch him being corrupted so he offered Lucifer a deal . " Dean listened her with big interest for the first time . She knew the story as good as Cain did and lived to tell it as she was living it herself.
"Able's soul in heaven for my soul in hell . Lucifer accepted as long as I was the one who send Able to heaven . So I killed him " Cain said the other part of the story as Dean looked sad.
"Rings a bell ?" She asked looking deep into Dean's eyes . He tried to save Sam from Lucifer so many times, sacrificing everything for his brother as much as Cain did for Able .
"I've became a soldier of hell , a knight ! " Cain added.
"And Lucifer ordered you to make more ?" Dean asked moving his eyes back on Cain.
"My knights and I have done horrible things together , for centuries , bringing with us darkness and chaos .." Cain reminded that times with angry …
"…and then you meet Colette " Dean finished his line.
"She knew who I was, what I was and still she loved me unconditionally . She forgave me! She only asked for one thing .." Cain stopped his eyes on Crowley as he was telling them the Colette part …
"To stop ." Crowley said as Cain nodded.
"When the knights found out , they took retribution , they took Colette so I picked the first blade back up and felt so good to have it in my hands again and I slaughtered the knights of hell " Cain said that part with lot of hate but without any regrets . He would have done it hundreds of times without even thinking twice.
"But not all of them " Dean said
"No ! " Cain answered
" Abaddone possessed Colette to get to me and make sure I won't kill her . She was wrong … I wanted to do that but when I pushed the blade I ended up killing the one I loved. Abaddon escaped . " Cain continued as Dean was feeling bad for him but also determinate to get to the blade.
"Well I'm sorry for your lose , truly !...but I have to stop Abaddon . So where is the blade ?" Dean asked clenching his jaw.
"No" Cain answered as Dean followed Cain, pined him to the wall and threatened him with the knife . " You might have been done killing but I'm not "
Cain grabbed Dean's hand and pushed the knife into his shoulder to show him that the knife has no effect on him .
"Told you that 5 minutes ago " She said watching all the show without interfering . It was their choice and nobody could get in the middle , not even her .
"You never give up on anything do you ?" Cain asked pissed.
"Never " Dean answered firmly
"Well I do " Cain said before disappearing as Dean moved his eyes on her .
"Don't look at me . I've done nothing " She said smiling as Crowley was trying to guess her role in this game . There were so many unknown things about her and he had to find out more .
"Cain? Cain?! " Dean called him as the demons outside start getting angry
"I'll stay as long as I can "Crowley whispers to Dean when she drag him toward her " You'll stay as long as needed! " She said pissed as Crowley started to shake again. Dean was confused about everything.
As Cain was gone the demons tried to get inside the house unknowing her presence there . She was undetectable , using to notice them about her presence only when the song was playing .
"What the hell men ? You're in or out ? I'm getting a head spin " Dean asked pissed seeing Cain coming back in the room .
"I can give you the mark Dean , if this is what you truly want " Cain said firmly
"The mark can be transferred to someone that is worthy " he explained more
"You mean a killer like you ?" Dean asked looking into his eyes
"Yes! " Can answered without hesitation. That was who he was and it was time to face it . As much as he tried , in this world he's been forced to bring out the real him .
"I can use it to kill that bitch?" Dean asked to make sure he won't do a wrong thing
"Yeah! But you have to know that with the mark you'll have a big burden , someone will call it a grate cost " Cain warns him as Dean accept the terms .
"Well… spare me of the warning label . I will kill that bitch " Dean said giving Cain his arm .
"Are you both sure about this ?" She asks with a very serious face standing next to the two of them as both nod their heads.
" Fine! But you'll have to deal with the responsibility of it … " She said as Dean got even more pissed.
"You're next on my list ! " Dean said ,looking threatening in her eyes.
"Don't forget that promise. I might take it when the day comes " She answered letting Dean speechless. He just promised her that he'll hunt her ass off and she agrees…even more, she offers to let him kill her at the right time. Could this be more awkward ?
Looking back at Cain he focus and transfer the sign to Dean, sign that burned him like hell. A sign that has been made, on Cain's arm, with a hot iron due to so many crimes.
" All right ! where have you hidden that blade ?" Dean asked covering his arm back .
"Nothing can destroy the blade so I throw it to the bottom of the deepest ocean . That was my only way I could keep my promise to Colette . If you'll find the blade, kill Abaddon but make me a promise first.
When I will call you and I will call you ,come find me and use the blade on me " Cain said as last thing to Dean with a very serious tone.
"Why ?" He asked confused
"For what I'm about to do " Cain gave him the latest explanation before snapping his fingers and let the demons in . Touching them Cain sent them outside, trapping the demons inside with him and Her .
"They're trapped inside …with them "Crowley said looking at the black smoke that filled the house before a dark blue one took final control over them, letting Dean speechless . It was the first time when he witnessed something so big and lived to tell the others.
They run as fast as they could inside the car , start the engine and drove as far as possible . After hours of running , Dean stopped the car near the ocean .
"He was right you know ?" Crowley said as Dean didn't moved his eyes from the window.
"You are worthy "Crowley added
"Oh great …now we're getting all touchy feelings too? " Dean asked trying to hide his angriness
"Your problem , mate, is that nobody hates you more than you do. Trust me ! I've tried. "Crowley hit a spot …the right and painful one.
"So how do we find this blade ?" Dean changed the subject . Pain could be read in his eyes.
"You can't search the bottom of the ocean but I can .So I'll find it and bring it to his new owner "Crowley said getting out of the car as Dean followed his move.
"I sow you Crowley ! " Dean couldn't hold it anymore . "Back in Cain's, you killed a demon and after you just sat back to watch the main event . You knew! You knew about the mark, about Abaddon and Cain , you knew all of it and you played me . Why ? " Dean asked pissed doing little steps toward him with a pissed off attitude.
"He would have never gave me the blade . Who can say 'no' to you ? I needed you to play along "Crowley admitted without even blink.
"You knew we've been followed and you didn't said anything " Dean continued
"Cain would have wanted to see his fighter worrier on close . You plus demons equals fight night "Crowley said satisfied that his plan have worked .
"Tara died …thanks to you " Dean said sadly almost begging Crowley for a bit of mercy . not from him but for the once he used In between .
"Omellete , broken eggs ..etc "Crowley answered as he didn't care at all
Dean's angriness touched the edge of his patience and punched Crowley with all his force.
"After I kill Abaddon. You're next! " Dean promised him that for the second time.
"You don't mean that. We're having so much fun . "Crowley answered smiling as Dean turned his back from Crowley . He was pissed but he also blamed himself for trusting Crowley more then he should.
"Listen to me ! Even with the blade we'll gonn' need all the help we can get to kill Abaddon "Crowley raises his voice making the things clear for Dean. Like it or not, they're both in this .
"Go find that blade " Dean told him as he disappeared .
Fury, angry, guilt, determination...all those feelings are killing him slowly . How much he'll have to endure until all this is over ? How much evil is there in the world ? How many people should dye and how many on his watch ?
That mark was hurting like shit but once again that was a price he had to pay for killing Abaddon. Getting into something dark to kill something darker and this game never ends.
As he stood there , on the hood of his car waiting for Crowley to came back , his radio turns on .
"What the …?" He said as he went to turn it off . As he raised his eyes from the radio, she was standing right there, in front of him , looking so natural than neither his eyes could believe.
