From a distance, things can sometimes seem clearer than they do from the closest seat possible.
Oh come on, who am I kidding? From where I stood, all I could see was shadows moving around through a dirty window. For all I know, one of those shadows could be Samhein, and the seal could have already been broken. Well, I know that hadn't happened, cause I would've felt it, had that been the case.
"Screw it" I opened the front door and ran silently down into the basement, where the boys were. Sure enough, they were being held on the floor, and a witch was reading a Summoning spell.
"Hey witchy poo" She turned, and I raised my hand, pulling it to one side. The cup of blood flew from her hand, embedding itself in the wall. I shot my other arm up, sending her against the wall next to it.
"I don't think that's a good idea sweetie. I mean, you do know he's just gonna kill you" She glared at me, obviously not caring about a word I said. I sighed, focusing deep and taking the witch from the host. She gasped, and I quickly helped Sam up.
"You should hurry, Sam, get out of here before she becomes coherent" I glared at Dean and headed out of the house.
The next day, Castiel met me. I wasn't expecting it, but all of a sudden, there he was. I smiled. One thing I never thought I'd do, smile at an angel. He didn't smile back.
"Thankyou"
"It wasn't hard"
"Would've been for us"
"That's because you're on the good side. I go against witches all the time, sometimes for purpose, sometimes for fun. Sometimes, under orders, just like you"
"Do you know what we said to Dean"
"You brought Uriel. I may be what you consider evil, but I'm not dumb. You told him you'd incinerate this town to stop the seal being broken"
"Yes"
"It wasn't your orders. I know your God, and I know he would not do that again"
"You're right. It wasn't our orders. We had orders to do what Dean told us to do"
"You think I'm evil, don't you?"
"No. You've taken pains to deny your heritage. To save every host you take. You've never been evil, you were simply born into a world of evil"
"Thankyou, Castiel"
He was gone then, and I looked up to find Dean looking at me.
"What do you want?" I growled, my voice souring.
"You saved my life"
"You wouldn't have died"
"What would've happened?"
"Samhein would've walked free, breaking the seal. Sam would've faced him alone, and eventually use his powers to exorcise Samhein"
"Then you did something great for my brother"
"I can't save your brother"
"I know"
"You know what's happening to him?"
"He's turning into Azazel, isn't he?"
"I think so. I feel, something, when I get around him. Something like I feel when I get around another demon. It's unsettling"
"You don't need to stick around. We can handle this"
"Like you handled it today?" I retorted, and snapped my mouth shut.
"You're right. I do need your help"
"But you don't need me"
"No"
"It's fine, I get it. I'm evil, I'm a demon. Hell, you wouldn't want me, just look at the in-laws you'd have to meet"
"I've already met him. I went down there"
"I'm shocked nobody told me. Bout that happening. That I didn't feel Lilith's return"
"How'd she even manage that?"
"i'm guessing daddy's picking favourites"
"You mean Lucifer raised her?"
"He's the only one who can"
"Why would he do that?"
"There are certain communications between Hell and Heaven. My guess is he caught scent of their plans for you, didn't like it, so he decided to take you out. Lilith is more than capable of that. At any rate, you should be very careful. I don't want to think about the possibilities here Dean. If he thinks that you can stop him, destroy him, then he's gonna keep trying, and trying, until you're dead"
"Whoa, he thinks I can kill him? Kill Lucifer?"
"I think he might"
"But I can't"
"Maybe you can"
"Is that even possible?"
"You're special Dean, whether you admit it or not"
"So are you, you know. Special, I mean. You're closer to human than most of the humans I've met"
"Thankyou. It means alot"
"Now, come on. You're gonna come back to the hotel room. We got some catching up to do" He said, taking my hand and leading me away from the park. I sighed, but didn't resist. He was right, we had a lot to catch up on.
"So, Dean, tell me about Castiel"
"I'm sure you know alot more about him than I do"
"I can't read him. He's much stronger than me"
"Yet he couldn't destroy that witch, and you could"
"Ever heard the saying you can take down your friends easier than you can take down your enemies?" Dean shook his head, and I continued, "well it's true. But, in a fight, Castiel would beat me easy"
"Good to know"
I laughed, and replied "Nice to know where your alliances lie"
"Well, you know, he did pull me out"
"Sorry, if I had've known, I would've at least looked out for you down there"
"Let's not talk about that, please" I sighed, pulling my hair back into a hair tie. We had reached the hotel room, and Sam and Ruby weren't there. I sat on the bed and looked at Dean.
"I'm sorry. Let's just change the subject"
"Sounds good" Dean muttered and sat down on the bed next to the one I was sitting on.
"Sam and Ruby still together?"
"Yeah, they are. She got killed by Lilith, and after that it took a while before she came back. At that point, I was still...downstairs...and she started teaching him"
"She taught him?!"
"Yeah" He replied gruffly.
"I'm gonna kill her! She knows.." I trailed off, looking at Dean. "Look, we should be focusing here. I'm sorry I left, and I'm glad I'm here now. Where are we at?"
"I think we should try being around each other at least. But I don't know if I'm ready for what we were"
"Me either" I replied, a bit too quickly, and blushed.
"You look nice, by the way"
"Thanks, I thought it might help in keeping my identity a secret from you, but I guess not"
"I wasn't sure, I was just really hoping it was you"
"Thankyou. For letting me back in"
"I wasn't so sure I wanted to at first, but..."
"But what?" I asked with a frown.
"Castiel and I had a conversation that made me rethink alot of things"
"Oh really? What'd he say?"
"That's for me to know and you to never find out" He said, and chuckled as I pouted. I
