Chapter 9
Castiel & Meg were walking through the park on a clear starry night. "Meg, I think maybe it's time you met Sam & Dean."
"They won't trust me,"
"We said we would tell them you're another angel."
"But didn't you say Sam is hanging around Ruby in his spare time? She'll instantly know who I really am."
"She's never there when I am, she knows I would smite her. You've helped me stop five seals already."
Meg thought about it, "Okay, but what name should I use? Pretty sure I can't keep using my actual name since they think I tried to kill them a few years ago."
"You can use whatever name you want." He assured.
Meg thought about it for a few seconds. "Rebecca, after my sister."
Castiel smiled. "Rebecca it is, we'll see Sam & Dean tomorrow."
Meg sighed nervously, "Okay, do you know how many seals are left?"
"Not many, maybe three."
"Then we've got some work to do." Castiel nodded in agreement.
Castiel found Dean in a trashed motel room & he & Meg appeared in the room with him. "Seriously you need a bell or something," Dean said. He gave Castiel a weird look when he saw Meg. "Who is she?"
"I'm Rebecca," Meg lied.
"You're an angel?"
"Yes,"
Dean groaned. "No offense but I'm sick of all the angels."
"I'm not like the others Dean,"
"You're different like Cas?" Dean questioned.
"No, Castiel is the only angel that was human. I'm different in the sense that I care about humanity."
"Find that hard to believe,"
"You can trust her Dean, I give you my word."
"Fine,"
Castiel looked around the room. "Where's Sam?"
"He's gone,"
"What do you mean he's gone? What happened here?"
"We had a fight because I know what Ruby is doing to him."
"What is she doing?" Meg asked.
"She's been feeding him demon blood for months. He's a junkie. I tried to kill her, we fought & they left."
"This is not good, you two are stronger together. More seals are bound to break quicker than expected."
"What do you suggest then Cas?"
"Maybe I should return to heaven & see if I can find anything out." Castiel said. "Rebecca, you stay with Dean. I won't be gone long." Castiel was gone before anything could be said.
"Cas must really trust you if he brought you with him,"
"We've known each other a very long time,"
"So you know about his past?"
"You mean his life as a human?"
"Yeah, I mean I know you know that he was human but do you know about his life as one? Like do you know about Megan?"
"Yes, I know all about it & the girl he intended to marry."
"He's trying to find her."
"I know. I'm trying to help him. Finding Megan has been his mission for a long time. It's the only thing that will make him truly happy."
"So how come you decided on using a teenager for a vessel?"
"She's a runaway," She lied, "I told her if she granted me permission to use her body I'll make her foster family sorry for what they've done to her."
"What did they do?"
"They abused her, mentally & physically, especially her foster brother,"
"Gotcha, I'm gonna go get some food, you coming along?"
"I might as well, he told me to stay with you." Meg followed Dean to the car & suddenly a cell phone rang from the glove box.
"My dad's phone?" Dean grabbed the phone & answered it. "Hello?"
"Is this John?"
"He can't come to the phone, can I help you?"
"I really need to talk to John, this is Adam, he knows me,"
"Well sorry to be the one to break this to you but John died about two years ago." Dean could hear Adam gasp. "Who is this exactly? How do you know John?"
"I'm his son."
Dean was shocked. "I'll help you as best as I can, where are you?"
"Windom Minnesota." Dean hung up & was speechless.
"What is it Dean?"
"On the phone…some kid named Adam. He claimed he was my dad's son."
"What?"
"We're going to Minnesota." He said starting the car.
It took a few hours but they finally made it to Windom, Dean grabbed his dad's phone & redialed the phone number, "Adam, I just got to town, where can I meet you?"
"My house is 147 Birch St.,"
"Okay, I'll find it." Dean hung up the phone.
"You're being awfully calm about this," Meg said.
"It can't be true,"
"But what if it is?"
"I don't know. My dad wouldn't hide another son from us."
A while later Dean found the house & went up to the door with Meg. He rang the doorbell & a few seconds later Adam answered the door. Dean couldn't deny that he saw a resemblance.
"Adam, I'm Dean."
Adam looked at Meg, "Who's she?"
"Rebecca, I'm just a friend here to help Dean help you."
"Come in," He lead them inside. "So, since you had his phone I'm guessing you knew my dad?"
"Yeah, a long time actually."
"How'd he die?"
"Heart attack." Dean lied. "So when was the last time you saw him?"
"My high school graduation, guess it was a few weeks later that he died."
"What made you call him now?"
"I didn't know who else to call. My mom & sister are missing."
"What do you mean they're missing?" Meg asked.
"I was on a camping trip with some friends & when I got back nobody was here. My mom left her purse & car keys. My sister left her phone, she never goes anywhere without her cell phone."
"I'm sorry but I've known John forever, how come I've never heard of you?"
"I didn't meet John until I was seven, I begged my mom to find him. I didn't know much before we met."
"What did you know?"
"My mom's a nurse, dad came into the ER pretty torn up. A hunting accident or something. Anyway after weeks of begging mom called him. The next day he showed up. Said he drove all night to meet me. Since then he was in & out of our lives, every few months."
Dean looked around the room & saw family pictures, a happy family he never had. He vaguely remembered his father going on hunts without telling him what it was he hunting, it may have been those trips that he saw Adam, "When you said he was your father I didn't wanna believe you."
"Why not?"
"Because I didn't want to believe my dad wouldn't tell me I had a brother I never knew about."
"John's your dad too?"
"Yeah,"
Adam smiled slightly, "I've got a big brother…"
"Brothers, my little brother Sam is on a getaway trip with his bitch girlfriend."
Adam grabbed a picture of his sister off the end table & handed it to Dean, "Then I think it's fair to say that my sister is your sister too."
Dean smiled slightly at the picture, "What's her name?"
"Lizzy,"
"How long have your mom & sister been missing Adam?" Meg asked.
"It's hard to say, they could've gone missing the night I left or hours before I got home. Cops searched the house & didn't find anything."
"Mind if I look around?"
"Not at all, the only room that looked trashed was my mom's room, if she & Lizzy were hiding from someone they were probably hiding there together."
"Show us," Adam lead them up to his mother's room where more pictures were on the wall & nightstand.
"Dean look," Meg pointed to the floor where scratch marks were.
Dean flipped up the edge of the comforter. "They go under the bed,"
"We gotta move the bed," Meg said.
With Adam's help Dean moved the bed. Beneath it was an air vent. "I can't fit in there,"
"I can," Meg said. "I'll need a flashlight though,"
"I'll go get one," Adam said leaving the room.
"You sure you should go down there?" Dean asked Meg.
"If anything is down there I can handle it. I'm an angel remember?"
"Right,"
Dean opened the vent as Adam returned with a light. "I got a flashlight."
"Thanks," Meg took the light & went into the vent. She saw some blood & even some pieces of flesh. "Shit," She whispered to herself. She crawled back out of the vent. "We need to call the police, right now."
"What did you find Rebecca?"
"A lot of blood."
Adam's face turned white. "What?"
"You need the police here as soon as possible."
"I'll go call them." Adam ran back downstairs.
"Dean, I didn't want to say anything in front of Adam but I saw some pieces of flesh too. Whatever took them, I think it was trying to eat them."
"Do you think you can find them? This kid's freaked out,"
"I'll do what I can."
"Good, now I've got to get out of here, I can't be here when the cops show up."
"Okay, you find a motel room, I'll try to track down his mom & sister or at least what took them. Adam might be in danger if whatever this thing is took his mom & sister."
"Right, lets go." They hurried downstairs. "Adam, we've gotta go. We'll be back later."
"What?" They were out the door before anything else could be said.
An hour later there was knocking on the motel room door. Dean opened it & Adam stood there. "Adam,"
"Who the hell are you? You tell me to call the police then take off before they show up or even explain why you had to go."
"Take it easy Adam,"
"No! My house is a crime scene, my mom & sister might be dead!" Adam jumped in surprise when Meg appeared in the room with Castiel.
"The ghouls are dead." Meg said.
"How did you do that? What ghouls?" Adam panicked.
"Guess there's no point hiding the truth," Dean sighed.
"What's going on?"
"I'm a hunter,"
"What do you mean a hunter?"
"When I was four a demon killed my mom & dad became a hunter to seek revenge. He raised me & Sam to be hunters."
"So…you hunt demons?"
"Demons, ghosts, pretty much every monster you can think of. They're all real, except bigfoot & Nessie because those are just silly."
"You can't expect me to believe this, you're nuts."
"Rebecca & Castiel over there are angels."
Adam looked at the pair. "It's true Adam," Meg said. "Castiel & I traced down the ghouls that killed your mom & sister. We called the police when we found their bodies."
"You have our condolences," Castiel added.
Adam broke down & started crying. "Why did this happen? Lizzy was only twelve…"
"Adam," Castiel started. "John killed a ghoul in this town twenty years ago, about nine months before you were born. The two we killed were its children. They wanted revenge so they killed your mother & sister, we're sure they were planning on coming after you tonight in the form of your mother & sister."
"What do you mean in their form?"
"Ghouls can shapeshift into the person they've eaten, they have their memories so they can easily pass as the victim without anyone knowing."
"So had they come after me I wouldn't be able to tell that it wasn't my mom or sister?"
"Exactly,"
Adam nodded letting everything sink in, "What do I have to do to make sure this doesn't happen to someone else?"
"Adam, this life-"
"I want in Dean," Adam interrupted. "I'll do what I have to. This happened to you, it happened to me, I want to break the chain. What if something like this happens to someone else? You hunt so it doesn't happen to other people, let me do the same,"
"Adam, I'm pretty sure dad didn't introduce us to each other because he was wanting to protecting you from this life."
"It found me anyway,"
Dean sighed. "Fine, you'll need some training & if you're serious you better grab as much clothes as you can because we live out of duffle bags."
"Fine,"
"There's more Dean," Castiel said.
"What?"
"There's only one seal left."
"What? Are you serious?"
"Very, we don't have much time."
"We gotta find Sam,"
"I looked for him Dean, I think his demon has him hidden from angels."
"We gotta get Adam's things & hit the road."
