Chapter Seven-From Prophecy to Reality

"Dean!" Sam's voice echoed through the bunker and Dean hurried up the stairs when he saw Sam and Cas dragging an unconscious man inside.

"This Elijah?" He asked and Sam nodded.

"We found him in a cabin in those woods we passed just down the highway." Dean picked up Elijah's legs and the three men carried him downstairs, laying him on the couch in the library. Kevin joined them.

"That's him," he said nervously. "That's the one that brought me the box." Castiel looked at him.

"This is Elijah." Kevin frowned.

"Is he an angel?" Sam shook his head.

"Not anymore." Sam looked at Dean. "Where's Kylie? She should be here." Dean nodded.

"I'll get her."

When she wasn't in her room, Dean shook his head and headed for his. He found Kylie lying on his bed listening to music, her eyes closed.

"I thought we went over this last night?" Kylie jumped at his voice.

"Jesus Dean! You scared me!" She sat up, her eyes wide. Dean rolled his eyes.

"This is my room Kylie. You have yours." She smiled.

"Get me a stereo for my room and maybe I'll stay there." Dean raised his eyebrow and smiled slightly.

"I'll admit, you have good taste in music." He motioned over his shoulder. "C'mon. Sam and Cas are back. They found Elijah." Kylie's face went pale.

"Is he ok?" She ran a shaking hand through her hair. Dean frowned and walked over to her.

"Hey are you ok?" Kylie nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just feel a little woozy." She got to her feet, swayed a bit and sat back down hard. "Wow. I don't know what's wrong." Dean sat next to her.

"Are your memories coming back?" Kylie shook her head.

"No. I just got dizzy." She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I'm fine. I want to see Elijah." She stood, Dean right beside her ready to help if she faltered, and walked out to the library.

Elijah was awake and sitting up when Kylie and Dean walked in. When he saw Kylie, his eyes widened and his face broke into a wide smile.

"Kaleil!" Kylie stopped and felt her stomach churn again. The room blurred and voices screamed in her head. She was aware that she was falling and heard Dean's voice in the distance yelling for Sam and then they were gone.

"Kaleil how did you find me?" Elijah looked around the bar nervously. Kaleil smiled.

"It's not Kaleil anymore 'Lige. Hasn't been for awhile, not since Gabriel and I left." She picked up her beer and took a drink.

"And does big brother Gabriel know you're here?" Kylie smiled at Elijah.

"Not yet but he'll figure it out soon. You know that. That's why I summoned you. I need to you get a message to Father." Elijah's eyes grew wide.

"I haven't been home since Lucifer was locked in Hell. I don't know if I can go back." Kylie took another drink.

"You'll go back. And you'll tell him that I want to come home but I need Gabriel to come with me. I need to find out if it's possible to come back, if he forgives us for leaving and joining the Pagans. I'm ordering you to give him this message. I think the rules still apply. If I give you a direct order, you have to follow it. Years of separation doesn't change that."

"But I can." Both Kylie and Elijah spun around to face Gabriel. He looked angry, sad and disappointed.

"My dear little sister. Did you really think I wasn't going to figure out what you were planning?" Elijah held up his hands.

"This was not my idea Gabriel I sw…" Gabriel held up his hand.

"Save it Elijah. I know this was all my sweet sister's idea. Kaleil," Gabriel shook his head. "Was it really so bad for all these years? We had each other. We blended in with the Pagans. We've punished the arrogant and partied with gods. We partied like gods. What more do you want?"

"I just want to go home Gabriel. Please. I miss Father. I miss our brothers. You've dismissed the idea so often that I had to call Elijah." Gabriel frowned and he grabbed her shoulders, his intense focus on her.

"Don't you understand? They will kill you if they know you're alive. Michael, Raphael and all of our brothers and sisters that follow them. They will kill you. And Daddy will just sit back and let it happen. I've told you this. Why won't you listen?"

"Kylie!" Dean's voice jarred her back to the present. She had a roaring headache and felt sick. She stood and pushed past Sam and Dean, running back to the bathroom where she dropped to her knees in front of the toilet and dry heaved violently. When her stomach stopped rolling, she got to her feet and splashed cold water on her face.

"Are you ok?" Kylie turned to Cas.

"Castiel, what's wrong with me? What's going on?" Cas frowned and took her hand.

"I don't know. Are you remembering your past?" She nodded.

"Some of it but I don't think that's it Cas. I just feel…strange. I don't know what's happening to me. I was fine yesterday and then…" she trailed off. Cas looked over his shoulder and then back to Kylie.

"Do you want to talk to Elijah?" Kylie shook her head.

"I need to lie down, Cas. I can't..I can't see him right now." Cas nodded.

"I understand. I'll help you get settled."


"Is Kaleil alright?" Elijah sounded genuinely concerned. Dean and Sam exchanged a look.

"Cas is checking on her," Dean said, pulling a chair up in front of Elijah. "So why don't you talk to us? Fill us in on what's going on because none of us have a freaking clue." Elijah looked up to Sam who stood over him, his arms crossed and then to Dean.

"You're the Winchesters. Michael's and Lucifer's vessels." Dean nodded and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, that's old news. Why don't we talk about what's been going on since the angels fell." Elijah shuddered.

"Gabriel gave me strict instructions that I was to guard that package with my life and deliver it to you when all hope was lost. When I saw my brothers and sisters falling and burning in the sky, I knew it was time." Sam nodded.

"Ok, but how did you even find us? How did you find Kevin?" Elijah looked nervous.

"They had been talking about you all. The angels. I knew the Prophet was in your custody and it had been said that you were heading this way. Naomi was watching your movements very closely. I made my way here and just…waited. I knew something was going to happen soon. Something big, bigger than the apocalypse. I finally saw the Prophet when he went to the store for food and I followed him back here. After the angels fell, I brought him the package and went into hiding." Dean frowned. He knew a lie when he heard one and knew immediately that the last bit Elijah told them was completely untrue. He also knew that calling out a liar rarely resulted in finding the truth. It was better to let them keep talking and hang themselves with their words.

"So who attacked you that night?" Elijah's eyes widened at Dean's question.

"Wha…what?" Dean leaned forward.

"Who attacked you? The night you brought that package to Kevin, you were bleeding. A lot. Who attacked you?" Elijah looked nervously from Sam to Dean.

"I...I don't…I don't remember."

"That's a lie Elijah." Castiel walked into the room, his eyes cold. "You were ordered not to tell us everything. You know that I know there are four beings who can give you a direct order and leave you without a choice but to obey: your Archangel, Metatron and God. Gabriel's dead, Kylie didn't know she was Kaleil. So that leaves God and Metatron." Castiel walked closer and stared down Elijah. "Did Metatron send you here to hurt Kylie?" Elijah shook his head.

"I don't remember Cas. I swear to you, I don't remember." Castiel moved quickly and before Dean and Sam could stop him, he had hauled Elijah to his feet and was holding a knife to his throat.

"Cas! What are you doing?" Cas ignored Sam and tightened his hold on Elijah.

"Metatron sent you here. Somehow he found out that Kaleil was alive and sent you here to find her. Now why did he do that?' Elijah shook his head.

"Castiel, you know I can't tell you…I have to follow orders…"

"Then I order you to tell us what Metatron told you." Everyone turned as Kylie slowly walked into the room, Crowley right behind her. "Something is happening to me and you know what it is." Elijah shook his head.

"Kaleil I swear. He didn't tell me why he wants you dead. But I do know something. I can't…I can't tell you but I can show you where to find to find it. The God tablet. The final word of God left to us before he abandoned Heaven." Cas turned and looked to Kylie but didn't release his hold on Elijah. Kylie nodded at him and Cas let Elijah go.

"Where is the God tablet Elijah?" Cas' voice was calmer but the threat still lingered under the surface. Elijah looked ashen.

It's at the cabin. Metatron took it with him when he left Heaven and has been hiding it all this time. I found it and I hid it at the cabin. He doesn't know I took it." His eyes widened and he grinned wildly. "If you take me back there, I can show you where it is." Dean laughed.

"What do you think we are? Stupid? If you think we're going to just turn you loose so you can go running back to Metatron you're nuts." Elijah raised his hands.

"No no no! I don't want to go back to him! He's crazy! Metatron is hell bent on revenge. I..I want to help you." Sam shook his head.

"I'm not buying it. Metatron steals this God tablet from Heaven, keeps it hidden for years and you just happen to get your hands on it? I may not be back up to one hundred percent but I can still smell a trap." Crowley strolled over to the table and sat down.

"Good for you Moose. I was hoping someone would catch that and once again, you don't disappoint." Crowley set his glass of brandy down on the table, crossed his hands on his chest and smiled at Elijah.

"I may not be much of a demon anymore," he said, tilting his head to the side and squinting slightly. "but I can see you still have a touch of angel juice in you. Just like I can see it just under the surface with my darling over here." He nodded at Kylie. "How is it then that this Metatron hasn't taken your grace as he did Castiel's?" Elijah looked fearful but he didn't respond. Crowley nodded. "I understand. You were ordered not to tell that. Something as insignificant as why you are still a winged muppet in a meatsuit you can't divulge but he forgot to order you to not mention the current resting place of the last words of God. How silly of him." Crowley stood and walked slowly over to Elijah.

"Here's what I think. Metatron is working with demons. Bernael discovered our sleeping angel over here and ran straight to him. Then, realizing who it must be, summoned you to confirm it. With Gabriel dead, your bond to him was severed. You didn't have to follow his orders anymore. So like a good little soldier, you revealed all to Metatron…Kylie's existence, the package you were told to guard, etcetera, etcetera." Crowley pulled out Castiel's angel sword that he had tucked in his suit jacket and held it to Elijah's neck.

"Castiel! Help me please!" Elijah's eyes moved quickly from Crowley's face to the blade and then to Cas. Cas' face was emotionless and he made no move to stop Crowley. "Kaleil, Sam, Dean…please don't let him kill me!" Crowley pushed the blade harder against Elijah's neck.

"And I also think that you sold out your former boss to save your own hide. So tell me, how far off the mark am I?"

"Metatron wants Kaleil dead to keep the Forbidden from having access into the world!" The words spilled from Elijah's mouth. "He wrote that in the scroll. I took that from him. He was going to use it against the demons when he was done with them but I took it! Ask the Prophet!" He gestured wildly to Kevin. "He'll tell you!" Crowley backed away and set the sword down on the table. He looked from Sam to Dean and took a slight bow.

"And that gentlemen, is how you get answers." He stood back by Kylie and crossed his arms. Sam hauled Elijah to his feet and looked at Dean.

"So what should we do with him? Throw him in the dungeon?" Dean nodded.

"Cas go with him. Make sure he can't get out of there." Cas nodded. Once the three of them left the room, Dean leaned over Kevin.

"So, did you see anything in that scroll about a Forbidden?" Kevin nodded. "Seriously? And you didn't think about telling us any of this?"

"Dean, I told you. These aren't God's words. These are Metatron's. You said yourself you didn't know if these were real or not." He cutoff as Kylie doubled over in pain. Crowley barely caught her before she hit the floor and gave Kevin a hard look.

"You better check that scroll again there boy!"


Cas knocked on Kylie's door before he walked in. She was lying on her bed reading a hardcover copy of Fellowship of the Ring. Cas set the tray of food down on the table and sat next to her. She closed the book and sat up.

"First edition Lord of the Rings Cas. It was in the library. Pretty cool huh?" He frowned, not understanding, and she rolled her eyes. "I'm telling you little brother. We get through all this, I'm taking you to a pop culture seminar or Comic-Con or something."

"How are you feeling?" Kylie shrugged.

"Since I stopped puking my guts out every five minutes? Great." She walked over to the tray and picked up the burger. "Did Dean make this?" Cas nodded and she took a bite. "Tell him this is the first thing that's tasted good in the three weeks I've been here." Cas smiled.

"I'm glad you're feeling better. We were all worried." Kylie took another bite and nodded.

"Did Kevin make any headway on that scroll? Find out what's happening to me?" Cas stood and walked to the door.

"He's read through most of it. It's very cryptic." Kylie shrugged.

"So what? I expect it's cryptic. Cas, what does it say?" Cas turned back to her and she was startled at the look on his face. "Cas, c'mon. What the hell?" Castiel opened the door to her room.

"I think that this would be better discussed with everyone." He left the room, leaving a bewildered Kylie behind him. After a moment, she followed him into the library. Seeing Dean, Sam and Crowley sitting there watching her enter the room made her nervous.

"What? What's going on?" Sam raised his eyebrows and cleared his throat.

"We found out what Metatron is worried about Kylie." Sam glanced over at Dean. "Apparently, the last Archangel is the conduit for the Forbidden. That means you." Kylie looked around the table.

"But I'm not an Archangel. I'm not even a plain old angel. I'm a human so, I don't even know what this even has to do with me." Cas walked over to her.

"Do you remember when Gabriel turned you?" Kylie frowned.

"Barely. That's the biggest blur." Cas looked her in the eye.

"Did you feel any pain?" Kylie closed her eyes and shook her head.

"What are you talking about Cas?"

"When Gabriel turned you, did you feel any pain?"

"No! Why would I?" Cas nodded and turned back to Dean and Sam. Dean had his face in his hands and looked pale. "Someone better start telling me what the hell is going on! I've been sick for almost a month and no one has given me any clue as to what's happening. You guys have been leaving and doing research and the only ones who've even come in to say 'hello' to me are Cas and Crowley! So tell me what's going on!" Sam took a deep breath and tossed a brown paper bag on the table.

"Open that." Kylie glanced at the bag and folded her arms, not making a move to pick up the bag.

"That's not an answer dammit!" Castiel sighed.

"Kylie, you're not fully human. Gabriel didn't take your grace. If he had, it would have caused you severe pain and your brother would not have been able to do that to you."

"Castiel, get to the point please." Cas sighed.

"Kylie, you're still an angel. You are human but Kaleil the angel is somewhere inside of you right now." Kylie laughed.

"C'mon. That's ridiculous. I was a little girl. I remember that. I first met Dean and John when I was fifteen, right after my parents were killed. I've aged since then. Angels don't age. What you're saying doesn't make sense Cas." Dean looked up at her.

"You should open up the bag and maybe it will make sense then." Kylie frowned, picked up the bag and looked inside. Her eyes widened and she dropped it, shaking her head.

"No way. That's not possible." Cas put his hand on her arm.

"Kylie, you know what the Forbidden is. The one creation God sought to erase from the earth." Kylie nodded.

"Yes Cas. I know about that. But that has absolutely nothing to do with me. I'm not an angel. I don't know why you won't listen to me on this."

"Kylie," Dean's voice sent cold chills down her spine. "You know there's a possibility." Kylie felt the blood drain from her face and her mouth go dry. Sam and Cas both turned to Dean. Crowley chuckled but quickly covered it with a cough with a glare from Kylie.

"Dean you and Kylie didn't…" Sam's face was slowly turning red. "Oh god Dean, tell me you didn't…"

"Not now Sam." Dean refused to look at Sam, focusing instead on Cas who looked from Dean to Kylie and backed away. Kylie saw the hurt on Cas' face and looked at Dean, her eyes pleading with him.

"Dean, we weren't going to say anything." Dean stood and angrily threw a book across the room.

"It's a bit late for that don't you think?" The anger Kylie heard in his voice brought out her own temper.

"Don't you dare put all the blame on me!" Dean stormed around the table.

"Like you didn't know this would happen. Hanging out in my room, the Jack Daniels, the whole 'I just need to be with someone and you're it' bullshit. You knew this would happen!" Kylie punched him square in the jaw, catching him off guard and knocking him to the floor. Surprised, Dean sat up and stared at Kylie as she stood over him, her hands balled into fists.

"Do you think I wanted this to happen? Not that we know for sure that it has but why do you think I would deliberately do that? To you or to me? Do you know why I came to you Dean? It was because I was lonely and I was scared and you were the only one that seemed to give a damn." She reached over and snatched the bag containing the pregnancy test and stormed out of the library. Dean carefully got to his feet and looked over at Sam.

"Sammy…" Sam raised his hands, his lips pursed in anger.

"Just don't even talk to me right now Dean." He turned his back on his brother, rubbed his face with his hands and then turned back to face Dean. "You seriously couldn't control your libido for one night? With everything that's going on you couldn't just not sleep with her? Especially when…dammit Dean you know what she is! I know it didn't stop you with Anna but come on. Kylie? Really?" Dean shook his head.

"We are not having this conversation right now Sam. Not in front of Cas and Crowley!" Crowley put his hands behind his head and leaned back in his seat.

"Don't mind me boys. Continue the argument." Dean glared at him but turned quickly back to Sam.

"Sammy, please. Listen to me." Sam shook his head.

"You crossed a line Dean. You really did." Sam gathered up the notes he had been reading and headed back to the room he shared with Kevin. Dean looked over at Cas, who continued to stare at the shelf of books in front of him.

"Cas…" Castiel turned slightly but didn't look at Dean.

"It's been awhile. Someone needs to check on Kylie." Dean frowned and nodded.

"Well I guess that someone is me then, right?" He turned and left the library. He had been right. The disappointment from Cas hurt worse than the anger from Sam.

Kylie's door was shut. Dean knocked before opening it. Kylie was laying on the bed, curled up with her back to him.

"Go away." Her voice was muffled by her pillow but Dean could hear her crying.

"Kylie, was the test…" He couldn't bring himself to finish the question. Kylie rolled over, her eyes red from crying.

"Yes it was." She sat up on the edge of the bed and ground the tears away with the heel of her palm. "But it's worse than that. So much worse." Dean rubbed his face with his hands, coming to terms with the fact that Kylie was pregnant, that it was more than likely his and the realization that yet another prophecy was coming true so her second sentence took a moment to register.

"Worse? What could be worse?" Kylie stood and raised the flannel shirt that had been Sam's. The shirt was too big for her and had concealed the swelling of her abdomen.

"This baby is growing fast. My stomach was flat a few days ago and now this." She ran her hand down over the slight curve of her belly. She looked up at Dean, her red rimmed eyes full of fear.

"Dean what are we going to do?"
