Ch.6: History
Sam, Dean, Bobby, Jimmy, Hazel, Frank and Percy sat at the table discussing what they what their next move was.
Frank, Percy and Hazel left the table to get food, leaving Jimmy, Dean, Sam and Bobby to continue the discussion.
Through the whole discussion, Sam was staring at Jimmy.
Jimmy noticed and said "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing" said Sam "It's just…in the prophecy, it said 'they shall meet the old knight'…" "And?" said Jimmy.
Sam coughed "What dose it mean?" Jimmy's eyes darted around to everyone at the table. They were all staring at him intently.
Jimmy said, "Well it's a long story" "We got time", said Dean.
Jimmy sighed "Might as well tell you now before you find out the gory details for yourselves, but I want you to promise me to never speak a word of this to those three demigods"
"We promise, but what is it?" said Dean.
Jimmy looked up and said slowly "My name isn't really Jimmy…it's George"
the three hunters frowned "That's it?" snorted Bobby "I thought it was something embarrassing" "Wait till I'm finished" said Jimmy.
Jimmy swallowed hard then continued; "I am a Knight…I was born and raised in a small village in Europe…in 387 AD" Everyone's eyes widened.
Dean chuckled. Sam, Bobby and Jimmy turned to Dean who kept chuckling. After about a minute, Dean stopped "Wait, you're serious?" Jimmy nodded slowly.
Dean's eyes widened "Dude, you're old"
"Yeah, I know," said Jimmy.
Sam's brows furrowed "How are you still alive?" "Believe it or not, the angels" said Jimmy.
Dean's eyes widened in realization, he pointed at Jimmy and said "Dude, you're like that dude on Highlander" Jimmy blinked and then he smiled a little "I guess I am, only I'm way older"
"Are there anymore of you?" asked Sam "A few" said Jimmy "But I haven't seen them in years…several hundred years in fact".
The three hunters looked at the ancient knight in interest. They have never met someone who has lived for so long and is still human.
Sam's brows furrowed "387 AD, that's before the fall of the roman empire"
Jimmy nodded "Yeah. I was there when Rome was sacked"
Sam's eyes widened "Really?"
Jimmy nodded "Yep, I even took part in it"
"Why?" asked Bobby
Jimmy muttered, "They had it coming to them".
Bobby frowned "Care to elaborate?" Jimmy went silent.
His eyes drifted around the diner then he said in a hushed tone "What I'm about to tell you is a secret. Don't tell those kids, got it?" the three hunters nodded.
Jimmy leaned forward and he said, "The Roman Empire wasn't always as great as you would think. It was magnificent indeed but as the years dragged on, it became corrupt, brutal, tyrannical and just disgusting"
Jimmy shook his head "The Olympians were cruel, demanding and warlike" Jimmy sighed "Anyway, I got into some trouble for sticking up for a bunch of oppressed slaves and you could say that I got the shit kicked out of me. My fellow legionnaires left me for dead in the wilds. For a moment I really thought that I was going to die"
"What happened?" asked Sam "The angel's happened" said Jimmy.
The three hunters stared at him in surprise "What did they do?" asked Dean.
Jimmy shrugged "I don't know, I was totally out of it. But I remember that they told me that I had an important role in events that are yet to happen".
Jimmy scratched his chin "After that I woke up, healed and fresh for battle. I returned to Rome, looking to dish out some payback but by the time I got there, Rome was under siege. Seizing the opportunity, I ditched my legionnaire uniform and dressed like one of the invaders then joined the siege"
Jimmy tilted his head a little "After Rome fell, I just packed up and left to see the world".
The knight shrugged "That's about it".
Dean frowned "So you're telling me that you're immortal? Like, nothing can kill you?"
Jimmy nodded "Yep".
Dean smiled "Awesome" Jimmy frowned "It's not really what it's cracked up to be but it has its moments" "Did you meet anyone famous?" asked Dean.
Jimmy nodded "Yeah, a few people" "Who?" asked Dean.
Before Jimmy could answer, Percy, Hazel and Frank returned to the table, carrying plates of food.
Jimmy, Dean, Sam and Bobby instantly dropped theconversation.
The three demigods sat down at the table and handed each of the hunters' plates of food. As the group ate Percy asked, "So, what's the plan?"
Jimmy coughed and he explained, "We split up, Dean, Sam and Bobby will go in search of this prophet and scribe in the prophecy. While Percy, Hazel, Frank and myself will go after the spear"
Percy nodded "Ok"
"Where is this spear anyway?" asked Frank
"It's back east" said Jimmy "Hidden in a stone vault buried in holy ground. In order to get to the spear, Azazel and his minions would have to get through layers of security and defeat two guardians who are stationed near the spear."
Jimmy smiled a knowing smile "Lucky for us I know a secret way to the spear that will get us ahead of Azazel".
Sam nodded "Ok, so what happens if you get the spear?"
"I'll give you a call. Once you locate the prophet and scribe, you give us the location and we'll meet up with you there" said Jimmy.
The three hunters and demigods mulled over the immortal's plan for a few minutes. Eventually Dean nodded "That's a good plan"
Jimmy smiled, rubbing his hands together he said "I love it when a plan comes together".
After they finished their meal, the group left the diner. Jimmy led the three demigods to his car, a small black convertible.
Dean and Sam pulled him aside and Dean asked Jimmy in a hushed tone "One final question, how do you know so much about this spear anyways?"
Jimmy's eyes darted between the two siblings and he said grimly "I was the previous owner of the lance and I was the one who hid it"
Sam scowled in confusion "Why did you hide it if it was yours?"
"I hid it because it was too dangerous to be left in the hands of a man like me" said Jimmy ominously.
After their discussion, Jimmy left with the demigods.
As the black convertible vanished from their view, Bobby kept his eyes fixed on the black vehicle "Bobby is something wrong?" asked Sam.
Bobby nodded "Yeah, something about George seems familiar. Like I've seen his name somewhere"
"The dude's old" said Dean "He's probably in some history book somewhere".
Bobby just stood there and kept his eyes glued on the knight's car that slowly drove away.
Finally Bobby just muttered "I gotta do some research".
Meanwhile, in a small cramped room, Alastair held a long, wicked dagger in one hand "Now, lets try this again sweetie" said the torturer in a sickly sweet tone "Where is your den mother, Artemis?"
Chained to a wall was a young woman, in her mid twenties. Her clothing were torn to shreds showing a lot of skin, her light hair was caked in dried blood and her eyes were wet with tears.
The woman's body was covered in bruises, cuts and other wounds.
Alastair was wearing a black apron that said in bold white letters "Kiss the Cook".
The demon's forearms were soaked in blood and he wore a sadistic grin on his face.
He cupped the girl's chin in one hand "Come on now dear, you can tell me anything" The girl bit back a sob and she whimpered "I…I will not tell you anything!"
Alastair rolled his eyes "Come on, give me something" the girl spat some blood at the demon.
The blood splattered on the demon's expensive black shoes. Alastair frowned "Now that was impolite" he smacked the girl with the back of his hand.
Alastair wiped the blood of his arms with a dirty rag "Now, that's enough of our warm up" said the demon "I think its time that we get serious".
The girl's eyes widened in terror, Alastair raised his dagger but he stopped "What is it now?" whined the demon.
He lowered his dagger and turned to face a little girl. She regarded the torturer coldly "How goes the interrogation?"
"I was just getting started" hissed Alastair.
The girl scowled at him "Any information yet?"
Alastair sighed and shook his head "So far, no. I gotta say these girl scouts are tougher than I originally thought, but I think I'm close to a breakthrough"
Lilith nodded "Good" the girl turned to leave but she paused. She turned back to the demon and said "Oh and please don't kill her, the last four hunters of Artemis broke so easily, I really hate to see you break another one"
Alastair rolled his eyes and grumbled "Fine".
Lilith turned and left the room, leaving Alastair alone with his prisoner.
Alastair grinned broadly "Now, where were we?" the hunter of Artemis whimpered and let out a low whimper.
As Lilith strolled down the hall, the female demigod's screams filled the air. Lilith entered a small, empty office where a red haired teen sat in a cushy chair reading a month old magazine.
Lilith scowled at him "Azazel, what are you doing here?"
Azazel looked up from the magazine he was reading "Taking a break" "From what?" asked Lilith.
Azazel lowered the magazine "I just got back from capturing that hunting pack all by myself, I thought I deserve a little rest"
"You can rest, once you retrieve the spear" said Lilith, coldy.
The yellow eyed demon grumbled and he rose from his seat "Yes, your highness" hissed Azazel. With that he vanished, followed by the sound of leathery wings flapping against the air.
Lilith smiled a little. Things were going according to plan. She turned and skipped off to meet her contact, Ruby.
