Chapter 4, Let me save you, Sam Winchester
The 10 year old boy walked through the halls of the hospital where Bobby Singer was staying, hoping Sam was with him, it had been a while since he last saw Sam, and it would be nice to see him all grown up, he stopped seeing those he protected once they turned about 18. Doctors and nurses wondered why this child was walking through the hospital without an adult.
Making the final turn to the room Bobby was staying in, looking out the window in a wheel chair with Sam playing with some cards on his own. "...Sam, Bobby..." He said making Sam jump and reach for his gun.
"Please, that won't be necessary Sam." He said holding a hand up. "It's so nice to see you again... you stopped praying..." he said looking at him sadly.
"Who are you?" Sam said looking towards Bobby who looked like he wanted to get up, but knew he couldn't.
"I'm an Angel of the lord..."
"How did you find us?" Bobby said and gritted his teeth as the child walked over towards Bobby. "Castiel told me... I came down to protect him, and the 3 of you." He said and stood in front of Bobby, taking his hands in his. "I've come to give you your legs back..." He said letting go of Bobby's hands and held them up towards the heavens for a moment, then placed them on Bobby's legs.
"Stand my son, I've healed you." He said holding his small hand out towards the older man, who looked at Sam than took the tiny hand and stood up, legs trembling slightly. "God has sent me down to right the wrongs, he hasn't left us, but I don't know where he is." He said looking between both boys.
"My name is Elijah."
"Dear lord..." Bobby said pulling his hat off his head. Sam also had the same look.
"Elijah? Are you serious?" Sam asked, remembering when he was young hearing a voice telling him to pray, that God would watch over him if he did. He watched the young boy nod his head, smile still on his face.
"I'm sorry I couldn't answer your prayers my child... The lord wouldn't let me... but now I'm here to save you..." He said smiling sweetly at him.
"Save me? There's no way to save me anymore..." He said sadly.
"My child, I'm an Arch Angel, just because I have a child for a vessel, do not underestimate me." He said and put his hand up to his forehead. "I want to restore your innocence... I want to make you the Sam Winchester Dean loved and needed."
"You can do that?" Sam said wondering what the cost would be for such a wonderful thing.
"Of course I can, I'm an angel... but I can't do it now... you need your memories of all that's happened you must prove to yourself that you want to be redeemed... and I would erase everything up till you were about 13 years old... "
"Don't accept that offer Sam." Bobby said putting a hand on Sam's shoulder. "Don't forget everything you've done."
"Even though I've done horrible things?" He asked looking between the two of them, and Bobby nodded, as did Elijah.
Elijah put two fingers against Sam's forehead and the boy passed out. Taking a deep breath, looking sadly at Sam and then up at Bobby.
"Has he been okay?"
"You didn't mean it when you said you could save him did ya."
"I'm not a demon Robert. I would never lie to one of the children who prayed to me day after day to be saved from they're horrible life. Sam should have grown up differently, if he did, the world wouldn't be on the brink of ending now would it." The pre-teen said putting a hand on his hip. "Oh yeah one more thing."
He said reaching out and put his hand on Bobby's chest and the old man doubled over slightly. "Now no angel or demon can find you either... can't have you being stabbed again." He said smiling at the older man and walked over and sat on the hospital bed.
"Has he been acting weird?"
"not that I've seen... Where's Castiel and Dean."
"...I'm not sure, back at the motel still?"
"Why didn't they come back?" Bobby asked walking over to the child like Angel.
"I didn't ask. It was better that way." He said turning to look at the older man. Bobby raised his eyebrows and nodded his head, "What ever you say angel boy." Bobby said honestly glad that someone from above with on their side with powers, but he had no idea for how long.
Sam woke up and rubbed his head, "Why did you do that?" He said looking around, than up at the Angel who was giving him a rather cold stares.
"I wanted to purify your blood... Sorry it knocked you out." Elijah said slapping a smile on his face.
"Do you want to tell me why you're using a child as a vessel? and what you're Vessels name is." Sam said rubbing his head.
"His name is Miles Tomas Andrews, he was terminally ill, and prayed for something to come and take care of his mother, only children can be my vessel because of my job description, don't worry about me, I'm tougher than I look..."
"So a 10 year old accepted being a vessel to an Angel?"
"Would you do it if it saved you from the path you were heading down?" Elijah said raising an eyebrow.
Sam and Bobby were quiet for the time being and Elijah jumped off the bed. "That's what I thought." He said putting his hands behind his back, "Who's ready to check out of this horrible place?" He said, bright blue eyes sparkling happily.
"I am." Bobby said grabbing his things and headed for the door. Sam shrugged and followed after Bobby, being tailed by the young angel.
