Amor Libertas.

Chapter Ten.

The colony now have a whole world of their own to inhabit but all of them pick the same area to settle in. A massive plain on the edge of a lake, it reminded them of the valley. This dominion is untouched and they wish to keep it that way so the colony continue to use the tents. On the opposite edge of the plain from the lake there is a small forest before you reach the mountain. The tree's hide a natural clearing and Cas picks this spot for their tent. The dark angel stands in the tree line, watching the activity on the plain, it is their second day in their own dominion and the colony has settled in already. Again Gabriel has centrally located 'the peppermint' and the couples were heading to eat. The dark angel smiles as he watches his family, they are safe here, he has triple checked the doorway and nothing can get in but colony members.

'Raphael will be reaching the final transformation soon, a week at most by the look of him' thought Cas with a smile.

"Who are we spying on" asks Dean from behind him.

"Not spying love…just quietly enjoying their happiness" grinned Cas as his demons arms slid around him.

"I love our new home Cas…it's the perfect place to have a family" said Dean.

"I knew you'd love it. I'm just glad I found it in time for our child to be born here" replied the dark angel.

"Me too. I was thinking about the colony's future as far as blood lines go…are we anything like humans, can we inbreed?" asked Dean.

Cas chuckles "No love, humans are an odd creature as far as that goes. Besides we're changing the bloodlines from angel to dark angel first then breeding" replied Cas.

"So the line is stronger to start with" said Dean.

"Exactly…we'll have to come up with a name for the hybrids, like a species name. Hybrids sounds so cold" said Cas.

"Yeah it does…we'll ask the others what they think" replied Dean.

"That was the plan, love. So anything you need or want?" said Cas.

"Nope got everything I could ever want already and all I need is you" grinned Dean.

Cas smiles at that, thinking 'Fuck I love this demon'.

In Hell…

Sitri walks through the gates very confused…Cas had told him to stay away but he couldn't. He had to get just a glimpse of Dean every now and then or he started to feel empty. He'd gone to the valley to hide and get his Dean fix to find it empty…no tents. No colony, all of them gone as if they'd never been there at all. Hence his confusion and his compulsion to go see his father, he wasn't looking to cause trouble his only thought was find Dean. The demon enters the throne room, finding his father on his throne speaking to another demon. He waits his turn…

"Ah hello son, how are you?" asked the devil finally.

"Um…confused father. Did the colony move?" replied Sitri.

The devil sat up quickly "What? What do you mean boy?" he snapped.

"I went to visit my brothers and the valley's empty…" said Sitri quickly.

The devil snarled.

Sitri cringed.

"Lucifer" bellowed Beelzebub.

Within moments The Consort is at his side "Yes love".

"Your brother has moved the colony" snapped the devil.

"Who told you that?" asked Luc.

"Sitri did, he went to visit his brothers and the valley is empty" replied the devil.

Lucifer rolls his eyes, leans closer to Beelzebub and quietly says "Sitri is in love with Dean…Cas told him to stay away. I doubt they've gone anywhere…Cas probably put a concealing spell on the valley to keep him away from Dean".

The devil frowns and thinks a moment then says "I want you to take some demons and go see for your self. He wouldn't hide them from you" grinned Beelzebub.

"Fine, I'll go visit my brothers for a bit" Lucifer grinned back. The Consort turns and picks four demons to go with him then they vanish.

"Can I go father…I didn't mean to cause trouble I just wanted to see my brothers" said Sitri softly.

"You have not caused trouble son, you may go" replied the devil.

Sitri vanishes too.

Beelzebub sits on his throne and frowns thinking 'What the fuck is going on here…was I right about Cas?'.

Lucifer appears in the valley to find it empty, he pales and thinks 'Oh no'.

There is no spell, he can feel that much. They are simply gone…all sign any being had ever lived here gone.

"What do we do now?" asked one of the demons with him.

"Search for signs of violence…anything that may show what happened here then we go home" replied Lucifer.

"You think he took them?" asked another demon knowing better than to mention the name.

"It's possible…so we check now get to it" snapped Lucifer.

The demons scattered over the valley looking for any clue they could find.

There was noting to be found the colony had made sure of that so that they could not be traced. Lucifer stood on the plain looking around in dismay. Part of him hoping he had taken them because the alternative didn't bare thinking about. Beelzebub would be livid if they had just up and moved without telling him, he would see it as a play for power…as a threat. Lucifer began thinking of ways to calm his lover before he'd even had to give him the news. This was gonna be bad…

The Consort appeared and the look in his eyes told the devil everything.

"It's empty…isn't it?" he asked.

"Yes…there is no sign of them at all" replied Lucifer.

"Any sign they were taken?" asked the devil.

"No…no sign of anything. It's as if no one ever lived there" replied Lucifer.

"What the fuck" roared Beelzebub "Did he take them? Did you feel his presence?".

"No…not at all" replied the angel.

The devil fumed…

"I don't understand this…they were happy" said Lucifer.

"Were they? Or were they scheming the whole fucking time?" snapped the devil.

Lucifer flinched and moved away from his lover saying "Talk to me when you calm down" before vanishing.

"Fuck" fumed the devil knowing he'd fucked up…he never snapped at Luc. What the hell was wrong with him, why did this bother him so much. Maybe they found a better spot and were getting settled before inviting him to see it? Maybe he was right about the dark angel…he didn't know but he had to go beg his love's forgiveness so he stood up and vanished.

The devil found Luc in their room.

"I'm so sorry Luc…I have no excuse for what I just did" he said.

Lucifer exhales slowly before saying "I am Consort and won't be spoken to like that".

"Yes, my love…I beg your forgiveness" replied Beelzebub.

Lucifer snorts.

The devil is at his side in seconds, he kneels at his Consorts feet and begs for his forgiveness.

"Stop…get up. I forgive you" said Lucifer.

The devil rises and slips his arms around his love "I love you Luc".

"I love you too…just watch your anger ok" replied Lucifer.

"Yes love, of course. I'm so sorry" said the devil.

"I don't know what happened to the colony Beelzebub but we will find out…I promise you that" said Lucifer.

"Yes, love we will most definitely find our colony" agreed the devil.

*All reviews welcome. Damn that love struck demon…*
