Hello loves! Welcome back to my Supernatural world! here is Chapter 10 "On the Phone" enjoy
"Take off your necklace Tea." Castiel stared at her with his piercing eyes.
Tea raised an eyebrow at him. "My necklace?" She pulled the two chains and their pendants out from underneath her shirt. "Which necklace? I have more than one."
"The blue pendant." Castiel pointed at the unique silver encased blue marble. "Take it off." He took her crutches and walked over to the table.
Tea frowned. She reached around her neck and pulled at the clasp until it opened. It came away and Tea re-clasped it together once she had gotten it from around her neck. She started to put the necklace in her pocket but Castiel stopped her. "No give it to Sam."
"Wana give me back my crutches?" She reached out for them. But Castiel just stood there. "We just got back from the ER where the doctor said that I had to use the crutches for at least two weeks."
Sam pushed himself off the wall and went to Tea to help her up. "No let her do it herself." Castiel stopped Sam midway. He held his hand out to Tea. "Let me see the necklace."
Not wanting to and with some difficulty Tea stood up holding her left leg aloft and held out the necklace to Cass. "I don't see what this had to do with Dean needing to be afraid of me." She continued to balance on one leg while switching her confused gaze from between Sam and Dean. It made her feel better that both brothers looked just as confused as she felt.
Castiel just stared at her. "Walk toward me now." He gestured for her to come.
"Cass, she is supposed to use the crutches because she sprained her ankle." Dean got up looking at the angel. "You should give them back to her."'
Giving off an un-glare that only Castiel could do, he looked at Tea. "You don't need them. Walk to me... please." The last word was separated from the rest as if he was only saying it to sound polite.
"Fine." Tea once again slowly placed her left foot on the floor in front of her right and let her weight shift over to her left foot. To her surprise the ankle held relatively well with only a slight tinge of pain, nowhere near as much as it had been. "What the?"
Castiel lifted the corner of his lip in a small smile. "Is there any pain?"
Sam frowned looking at Tea as she walked with a tiny limp around the room. "How did you know that would..." He stopped his question. "Cass would you explain?"
Castiel watched Tea ignoring the Winchester men. "Do you feel any pain?"
Tea stopped and sat back down on Sam's bed. She flexed her calf and rolled her ankle making sure it was working correctly. "There is a little bit of pain but not even close to what it was when I first fell." She pulled up her pant leg and unwrapped the ACE bandage from around her ankle. The bruises had faded to a light yellow color. "Castiel how did this happen?" Letting her pant leg fall back to normal Tea got up and stood next to Sam.
Castiel handed her the necklace back. He didn't say anything as Tea returned the necklace to its rightful place around her neck.
"Okay Cass would you tell us what is going on?" Dean didn't like that Cass was withholding information from them. "Why did you say that I should fear Tea? Not to offend her, but I've fought and bested guys who have at least a hundred to two hundred pounds on Tea and at least a foot taller. Why would I fear her?"
Castiel blinked eyeing each one of them in turn. "You should not take the necklace off again." He didn't say who he was directing the suggestion toward but it was pretty obvious.
In the year and a half that Dean had known Cass, he had gotten used to Cass just disappearing. Sometimes he could predict when it was coming, other Cass was there one second and gone the next. "Cass..." Before he could get the whole sentence to even form in his mind Castiel disappeared. "Son of a..."
"You know that's not really insulting to the person you are saying it to, if you think about it." Tea interrupted before Dean could finish the curse. "Like seriously, you are only calling one of their parents a female dog and not them." She smirked at Dean. "Maybe you should think about that the next time you go to say it."
Without responding to her criticism he walked to her and picked up the pendant. He rolled it between his fingers ignoring Tea's protests. There were no sigils or other symbols that he could see anywhere on or around the marble. There were little vertical lines running over the crossbars of the two crosses and horizontal lines bisecting the longer silver pieces that connected the two crosses together at the bottom. The top part of the crosses formed an open oval of sorts so that the marble was visible between the two lines.
"What do you think Dean?" Sam came up to stand next to them. He knew his brother had more experience when it came to hunting. Though Sam learned a lot from research Dean had spent more years in the field working and hunting when Sam had gone off to college. "Have you seen anything like it before?"
"You said your mom gave this to you right?" Dean let the pendant fall from his hand. "That she told you your dad insisted that you were to wear it?"
Tea nodded. "Yeah I asked her about it once and she just said that Dad wanted me to war it at all times. Once the chain broke... a different one and my mom freaked out because I didn't have it on when I came home from school. She insisted that we had to go buy a new chain immediately."
Dean pulled out his phone and snapped a picture of the pendant in the palm of his hand. He sent the picture to Bobby with the question of if Bobby knew what it was. A few minutes later Dean's phone started ringing. "Hey Bobby."
"Whose necklace is that Dean?" Bobby's rough voice sounded through the phone's speakers.
"It's Tea's. Apparently her dad, who died six months after her birth, gave it to her before she even got out of the hospital. According to Tea he told her mom and her mom told her that it is very important that she always wares it." Dean put his phone on speaker so that Sam and Tea could hear what was going on.
"And how is Tea? I got your message about her ankle." Bobby had gone to do some work on one of his cars and had left his phone in the house when Dean had called while Tea was getting her ankle wrapped.
"Well that's the reason why I asked if you knew about the pendant." Dean rubbed his chin. "We got back to the motel and Cass showed up telling Tea to take off the necklace. She did as was told and boom her ankle was healed. Now she can walk around on it without the crutches just like before she hurt it."
Bobby frowned. "So what you're saying is that... she hadn't healed before she took off the necklace and then afterward she's as good as new?" He was starting to really not like how many questions surrounded Tea. He had gotten the books that his contacts had brought him and had read through them both but they hadn't helped. "It was the necklace you sent me a picture of right?"
"Yes sir." Dean nodded even though he knew Bobby couldn't see. "Well she says she has had a little bit of pain so not perfect but still good." He looked at Tea getting a conformation nod from her. "Have you seen or heard of any necklace like the one she has?"
Taking several long seconds Bobby wheeled himself to one of his bookshelves. He ran his finger over several different leather spines on a particular shelf until he found the one that he was looking for. "I've read about something like that forever ago but it might not be the same thing."
"What do you mean?" Tea questioned.
"Oh I didn't realize that I was on speaker. Hey Tea, and I'm guessing Sam as well." He flipped though the book carefully as to not damage the brittle pages. "I mean that a long time ago I heard whispers of a certain amulet that suppresses powers of the one who wears it. Afterward I looked around for it and read something but it was a good decade ago."
"For powers to be suppressed I would have to have some in the first place right?" Tea frowned shaking her head. "I may say all these things and be okay with this whole supernatural stuff but having powers is just ridiculous."
"You believe in the supernatural but you don't believe in having powers." Dean eyed Tea carefully. "You freaken came back from the dead and you don't believe you have special powers?"
"You two can discuss this later because contrary to your belief I do have a life away from talking to you on the phone," Bobby growled. "But the pendant you war looks nothing like any amulet I've ever seen. Do you know where your dad got it from... I mean did you mom ever say where he got it?"
Tea shrugged knowing only Sam and Dean would be able to see. "I'm not sure if she ever knew and if she did I never asked specifically so she didn't tell me." She had been young the last time she had asked about her father and the gift he had left her. The most recent time had been when she was about five or six. Her mother had been a little saddened when she was answering. Jensen had pulled her aside later and said that it would be better if she didn't ask their mom about their dad anymore.
"Do you think you could call her and ask?" Bobby questioned. His voice gave off that he was getting tired of their conversation and that it was frustrating him. "I mean if we can get more information about this necklace the better chance we have of finding out what it is and what it does."
Tea blanched. "Uh well..."
"Tea doesn't talk to her mom anymore," Sam interjected. "She had a disagreement with her mom a year back or so and now they aren't on speaking terms." He smiled back at Tea when she silently thanked him for explaining.
Bobby heaved a sigh. "I understand what you mean. But it would be very helpful if she did know. It would illuminate the options a little bit more."
Frowning Tea pulled out her phone. "Give me a second, I'll call her."
"You don't have to Tea. We can figure it out some other way." Sam pulled Tea off to the side as Dean took his phone off speaker.
Tea let him put his arm around her as she scrolled through her contacts. She leaned against his chest. "I know I don't, but if it can help us figure out who or what I am I'm all for it." She found her home phone number and hit the send button. Waiting she heard the ring over the speakers.
"This is the Mosely's residence. We aren't home at the moment but if you really need to get a hold of any of us you can call our cell phones. If not leave your name, number, and brief message and we will get back to you as soon as we can." They had used the same message on their answering machine for as long as Tea could remember.
Tea ended the call and then thumbed through her contacts for her mom's cell phone number. She sent the call and waited as it started ringing.
"This is Aerobella Mosely speaking."
Tea licked her lips. Hearing her mom's voice on the answering machine was one thing, she had heard it dozens of times. But hearing her mom answer the phone was entirely different. "Uh... Hey Mom it's me."
"Me?" Tea could almost see her mother raising her perfectly manicured eyebrow. "Who is me?"
Licking her lips again Tea took a breath. "It's Tea, Mom. I uh... I have a question for you."
With a distinct sharp exhale that only her mom could do Aerobella smirked. "What happened to never talking to me again? I didn't realize that hell had frozen over yet." Her mom's snide comments weren't helping one bit. "But you know maybe it's just me, when I tell someone if I ever spoke to them again it would be too soon, I actually stick to it. " A quick rude laugh followed. "Ah but you said you had a question so I guess that means you want something, probably money. Well let me tell you..."
"Mom!" Tea barked. "I have one question for you. You answer that question as truthfully as possible for me and then we can go back to our usual of you hating me and me not wanting to talk to you."
"I don't hate you Tea." Aerobella sighed heavily running her long French Manicured nails through her coveted golden blond hair that hung past her shoulders in long thick waves. "I have always and will always love you. Just because I dislike your choices and your disobedience doesn't mean I hate you. You're my daughter, my little angel, I do love you."
Tea swallowed not liking how calm and rational her mom was being. Her mother's use of the old nickname sidelined Tea. "I love you too Mom, but that doesn't change anything. I'm my own person and just because you want something for me doesn't mean that I want it for me. I do have a quick question for you though. The blue pendant that Dad gave me when I was born... Do you know where he got it?"
"What happened?" Aerobella sounded frightened. "Did you lose it? Did something happen to it?" Tea had never heard her mother sound so scared before. "You shouldn't... You need to be wearing it at all times Tea. You can't..."
"Mom, I'm asking where it's from. I have it on; I don't take it off ever. Please breathe." Tea interrupted her mother. "I just wanted to know if Dad ever told you where he got it from."
Taking a deep breath, her mom calmed herself down. "As a matter of fact he did. Your father said it was a family heirloom, supposed to be passed down to the youngest member of the family. It was as if he knew that he wasn't going to be around much longer where there would be no possibility that he would have another child."
Tea swallowed hard. "And Dad's family is what, English? So it's from England yeah?"
"Yes it would be from England." Her mother had calmed down greatly from her freak out. "Why do you ask Tea, has someth..."
"I have to go Mom but thanks for the info," Tea interrupted again. She hated being rude but she really wasn't in the mood to be chatting and mending their broken relationship. "Have a good day. I love you." She didn't even give her mom the time to say good-bye before ending the call. Closing her eyes Tea inhaled a long breath. In years leading up to her quitting school and going on the road, Tea had rarely been able to hold a civil conversation with her mother. There were just too many things between them for her to shrug it off. If a conversation was ever struck up at one point or another they would get around to the arrangement and then everything would go to hell, voices would raise and one or both involved females would storm away cursing the other.
Sam just stood there with Tea holding her in silence. He had only heard one side of the conversation and it hadn't sounded like it was very friendly. Without thinking about it he started to rub Tea's shoulders.
Tea smiled up at him mouthing her thanks. She turned away not wanting for him to see her about to break down. The day had been trying at best and she was really in need of a long soak in her bathtub in her room and an even longer season with one of her comfort books.
Dean looked up to at Sam and Tea. It made him smile seeing them so close together. He noticed that Tea had finished talking on the phone. Sam whispered something in her ear and waited for her to say something. She nodded quietly and they both walked over to where Dean was talking to Bobby. Seeing them walk over Dean put the phone back on speaker after seeing Tea hang up. "Okay Tea's got information for us."
"My mom said that it is a family heirloom. As my dad told her it is past down from the youngest to the youngest. My dad's family is from England." Tea recalled what she had gotten from her phone conversation with her mother.
"From England?" Bobby questioned. "Well not much comes from England but I will look through what I do have and will get back to you. It most likely won't take very long because I doubt there is much about English amulets."
"I bet your mom wouldn't know but what if it was from your paternal grandmother. Obviously it isn't given just to the youngest male family member," Sam suggested. "I mean it is a necklace, wouldn't it be more logical that it would be past down by the females of the family."
"My dad doesn't have any sisters." Tea frowned thinking about Sam's words. "Or at least I've only met his two older brothers, Matthew and Michael."
"Matthew, Michael, and Maxim." Dean smirked. "What is it with families that name their kids with all the same starting letter of their names?"
Tea rolled her eyes. "They all have O starting middle names too, Oscar, Orlando, and Oliver." As she used to do a long time ago and had gotten used to doing again, she rolled the pendant between her fingers. "Anyways I only saw my grandparents on my Dad's side once. It was when I was five or six in England at their funeral. They were in a car accident that neither made it out of."
"Would you be against us looking into them?" Bobby asked. "I only ask because some people get finicky about other people looking into their family trees." He put the book down on his desk and wheeled himself over to his computers.
"Do what you must. I want to know this stuff as much as you three do." Tea licked her lips spinning her phone nervously between her thumb and pointer finger, pushing it with her ring and pinky fingers. "Why can't Cass just tell us what's going on and save us all the trouble of figuring it out ourselves?"
Dean laughed at the thought of Cass just giving them straight answers when it was needed. "He likes to keep mystery up and not tell us what is going on. I think it's a part of the job descriptions for angels, they have to be dicks with wings or else they will be kicked out of heaven."
"You know there is a possibility that he actually doesn't know. He could still be looking into it or trying to keep other angels from getting too interested in Tea." Sam smiled down at Tea hoping his suggestion brought her comfort.
Bobby sighed. "Well you try and figure that out, but don't forget about the Faerie King and I'll look into that pendant of your's Tea. I'll give you a call back later when I've found something. You all keep yourselves safe and don't split up next time. If any of you gets hurt it could blow this whole case."
They all said their good-byes and Dean ended the call.
Ah and now we are at the end of the chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. I dot to write it while relaxing outside on a camping trip, which I unfortunately haven't gotten to go in a very long time. Hope all ya'll weather is as awesome as it has been here so you can enjoy the outside world as much as you enjoy anything else.
To the Reviews!
K.T.: Lol you know how Cass is never giving straight responses. To stay true to his character I must write it the same way. But listen to Sammy, he is wise beyond his years (well maybe not) But yeah there needed to be more Sam/Tea cuteness in this story! He's such a gentleman! As for Jensen yeah I know I had to rewind it and pause and was like OOO wow hes so different! granted we know him as the 27-32 year old Jensen where in Wishbone he was only around 18. Nine years really changes a guy.
Lazygirl2306: No worries. I was actually surprised to get your review today I kind of thought you had abandoned me but I totally understand where you are coming from. Sometimes it is hard to get a full chapter out since school started. I used to be able to write more than the chapter between the five days but with the craziness that is college it gets tough sometimes. Thanks for reviewing and I hope you're school load lessens.
So along with the younger Jensen watch. I actually started watching the TV show Dark Angel because it sounded interesting, Michael Weatherly, and Jensen. He comes in one show during the first season and is a regular on the second. His character, Alec, (so named because he's a smart aleck) is actually a lot like Dean in many ways. If you haven't seen the show I would recommend it.
Another thing if you have seen the most recent Supernatural show, All Dogs Go to Heaven, and was able to see the preview for this weeks show you may find something interesting. Supernatural is finally taking on Fairies! I watched the preview and they are doing a different legend that I have been working from. They are using the Tinkerbell form of Fairies where I am not. If you haven't seen the new show or didn't watch the preview the CW has it on their website. I know I will be tuned into it on Friday to see what they are using.
Once again I hope you enjoyed and I will be back on the 20th to bring you a new chapter. Love ya LOTS! bye for now!
