"Rose red lips
Pale white skin
Pale blond hair
Skin never dying
But already dead.
The teeth as sharp
As kitchen knives
Cutting through skin
Drain the victim quickly."
Layton
I was glad to have a case. I know Laken and I had training with weapons, but this was Laken's first case. I had more experience then Laken for once. Laken was new, but that didn't matter. She was prepared for this and now knowing what we did I was needing a case to get the thoughts out of my mind. Laken was looking into the deaths as I was looking at the records from the morgue. Caelum was interviewing people in town.
"I'm hungry." my sister said shutting her computer. I sighed. We were thinking it was vampires and if so she could be a victim since they were going after females with blond hair and my sister has dirty blond hair, but it was too close to comfort.
"Sure. We can hit the dinner in town." I said casually. We head to the dinner and asked Cael to meet us against my sister asking me not to. Once there we sat at a table and ordered food. Cael sat next to Laken which upset her more.
"Anything?" I asked.
"Nothing yet. Cai sent me a message saying he was sending some help since this is Laken's first hunt." Cael said.
"I just got in." A voice said. We all turned to see Cai, but from the way he acted it was not Cai. "Can I sit?"
"Sure." I said shocked.
"You must be Jacob Lynns." Cael said. Laken looked him up and down. Our waitress returned with our food. She took Cael and 'Jacob's' order. Cael just wanted water though which made it easy for the waitress.
"Let get the weirdness out. I am not possessed by Cai. He took some other body that was about to die. I am Jacob Lynns, an hunter who grew up here in America, but I am from Canada originally." the boy who was possessed by Cai said.
"Laken Woods, British origins but we are now American citizens, that is Layton my twin brother."
"I know. Cai thinks you two are cute with trying to kill a prince of hell, but that what he says not me." Jake said smiling at me. I looked away feeling my cheeks redden. What was his opinion on me?
"Cai is a little crazy. Do you know much about him?" Laken asked.
"He knows Crowley from back in the day. They were friends or something. Crowley and Cai go way back, but Cai made a deal for love and end up forgetting about Crowley."
"That sounds like Cai." Cael said looking at Laken who was eating. The waitress brought Jake his food. We all moved the conversation to the case and all started trying to figure out what our best action would be when a guy in a trench coat walked in looking directly at Cael. He walked up to him and Cael got up.
"Caelum, we must talk. You know about a certain angel that I need information on." the man said. Cael smiled like he might have the info.
"Depends. If it is an archangel then no. If it is a angel then maybe. If it a child with grace of a archangel go screw yourself." Cael said.
"I am being serious Caelum." the man looked serious.
"Go ask Michael. Oh wait he is in the cage with the other annoying one." Cael smiled at us. The other man lowered a blade to his hand, Cael shook his head.
"We are busy on a hunt. Help us and we will help you." Cael said sitting down. The man thought about it and the blade was gone and he sat by Cael who was glad to close the distance between him and Laken. Laken sighed.
"Why must I sit by our idiot guardian angel?" Laken complained.
"Shut it." I said looking at the new guy. "Sorry about my sister, she is most likely PMSing."
"Glad I do not date girls. That would be terrible to have to deal with that." Jake muttered.
"Hey. I am not PMSing. I just don't like guys who stalk you for years and then practically beg for your love." Laken said. I looked at Cael. He looked upset.
"I was not begging. I was being truthful." Cael said. The man looked at all of us confused.
"Castiel, this is Jacob Lynns, and Laken and Layton Woods. Guys this is Castiel. He was in charge of the regimen I was in before I got my own." Caelum said.
"You mean before the regimen you killed." Laken said. Castiel looked confused by that and Cael looked at her like why you bring that up.
"So you are going to help us?" I asked.
"You are Layton Woods?" He asked.
"Sort of. Layton is my name and I go by Woods, but Laken and I decided to go by our mother's maiden name instead of our birth names." I knew it made no sense to others, but it made life easier.
"That is how you know who your father is?" Cael asked look at Laken.
"It does not matter. He is some hunter who would never want to meet his children. Hell he is probably dead. That other angel hinted towards it." Laken said looking at me.
"It does not matter we have to find this nest before another person dies." I said. "I think they are in the woods that is where the bodies are found."
"I was researching the woods there is a mine cave out there. Maybe they are hiding there." Laken suggested. Jake looked at his phone.
"We got a problem. That mine is flooded so we can not get into it at all if we tried so they can not be there. So that leaves the house on the edge of the woods which is owned by Doctor Acula." Jake said. I tried not to laugh as they all looked at me.
"The abbreviation for doctor is dr. dr plus acula is dracula. These vampires are setting a trap for hunters or they are plan stupid."
"Or both." Jake said looking at the time. "We should get sleep and check it out in the morning. The sleep more during the day."
"Sounds good. Castiel and I can check around the house and then give a report." Cael suggested. I looked at Laken who was playing with her leftover food. She looked upset.
"Hey someone wave down the waitress and see if we can get a slice of apple pie for miss bad mood." I said looking for our waitress.
"Apple pie?" said a now perk up Laken. I laughed at her. She had a thing about pie and Mum hated pie. Laken never got pie much, but I never understood why she liked it. I looked at the name on my phone of the last person I texted. Jayden, our cousin from our father's side, he was our father's mother's cousin's kid, was looking into a hunt near by and wanted to meet us. We had heard about him from Mum and I sent him a letter and we started texting after that. Every time I was in America I missed him. I texted him back our location and turned to see Laken almost done with a slice of apple pie. Cael looked at her with adoration and I knew that Castiel was staring at me again. Did I remind him of someone? I must have. I got a reply from Jayden saying he was a hour out and I gave him the name of our motel and the room number. I figured it would be good for me and Laken to meet someone from Dad's side even if it was a distant cousin who never meet our father. He would know something about our family. Anything was worth hearing.
