Chapter 10

They all went back to Adam's house. He grabbed a duffle bag & filled it with clothes & pictures. Later they were on the road & Dean was filling Adam in on the life & what came with it.

"That's pretty much it, are you absolutely sure you want to be a hunter?"

"Yes, my whole family was killed by monsters. I'm not letting it happen to someone else."

"Okay, next time we gotta check into a motel I'll make you a bunch of fake badges & we'll work on target practice."

"What was your first hunt Dean?"

"I was eight, killed the boogeyman."

"Wow, so what's with these seals you mentioned?"

"If sixty six are broken then Lucifer is freed from his cage in hell."

"What happens if Lucifer is free from hell?"

"The apocalypse," Dean pulled his phone out again, "I'm gonna call Chuck, maybe he knows something," He dialed Chuck's number, "Chuck, it's Dean, have you had any visions about Sam?"

"Just starting the chapter, he's going to kill Lillith."

"That's good,"

"You have to stop him!"

"Why would I do that?"

"Lillith is the final seal, if she dies Lucifer is free."

"What? Where is he?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen that part yet. I'll call you as soon as I see it,"

"Thanks Chuck," Dean hung up & banged the steering wheel.

"Dean what's wrong?" Castiel asked from the back seat.

"Lillith is the last seal & Sam's gonna waste her. That bitch Ruby has been training him to kill her & I bet she knew she was the final seal too. I knew we couldn't trust a demon."

Meg & Castiel looked at each other. "Dean, I'm sure Sam will figure out her true plans."

"No he won't. He picked her over me. He's gonna free Lucifer & then we're all screwed."

"Just keep driving Dean, there's nothing we can do if he's hidden from us & not answering his phone." Meg said.

"Right, hopefully Chuck gets another vision."

"Who's Chuck?" Adam asked.

"He's a prophet of the lord," Castiel said.

"A prophet?"

"He's working on the new gospel."

"Wow,"

"You sure you want this life Adam? It's not glamorous,"

"Absolutely,"

It wasn't until two days later when Chuck called Dean back. In that time Adam got some fake badges made & read John's journal. They were on the road when the call came. "Talk to me Chuck, what did you see?" Dean said into his phone.

"Just started the chapter, the seal breaks at St. Mary's convent in Ilchester Maryland, tonight."

"What time?"

"Midnight, east coast time."

"That's only a few minutes from now! That's cutting real close Chuck,"

"I'm sorry Dean, I can't control when I get visions,"

Dean hung up angrily, "What is it?" Adam asked.

"Lilith's in Maryland & we've got five minutes to get there before Sam kills her.

"Where in Maryland?"

"St. Mary's convent."

Castiel zapped them to the church. "Demons…" Meg said. "Dean, you go inside, we'll handle the demons."

Castiel & Meg began fighting off the demons & Dean ran inside. He saw down the hall in the sanctuary, Sam using his demon powers on Lilith. Ruby looked over her shoulder at Dean & smiled, she forced the doors to close & lock.

Dean ran to the door trying to break it open. He could hear Lilith crying out in pain. He pounded on the floor screaming Sam's name but Lilith's screaming was much louder, then there was silence.

"What the hell?" Sam asked when he saw Lilith's blood forming into a circle.

"You did it," Ruby said happily.

"What?"

"You opened the door now he's finally free."

"No, I stopped Lilith, I killed her."

Ruby smiled, "It is written that the first demon shall be the last seal."

"Oh my god…" Sam ran his hands through his hair not wanting to believe he ended it all.

"Guess again. Sam, you don't know how hard this all was. No one knew, I was the best of those sons of bitches! The most loyal, only Lilith knew. I'm sure you're angry now but come on Sam, it was genius!"

"You lying bitch!"

The door flung open & everyone stood there. Ruby looked at Meg. "You?"

Sam stabbed Ruby with the demon knife killing her. "We're too late," Meg realized.

"I'm sorry Dean, she tricked me."

The blood finished its pattern & a white light shot up from the center & the building began to shake. "We have to go," Castiel zapped them all back to Chuck's house.

Chuck jumped at their sudden presence. "He's free isn't he?"

"Yeah…he's out."

"Ruby tricked me…I should've listened to you Chuck."

"About what?" Dean asked.

"Chuck told me that when Meg tried to kill us some years back that it was really Ruby,"

"What?"

"She pretended to be Meg."

"You knew about that & didn't mention it to Castiel or Dean?" Meg asked.

"Who are you? What's with this kid?" Sam asked pointing to Adam & Meg.

"Rebecca is an angel friend of Castiel's & Adam is our illegitimate half-brother."

Sam's eyes widened. "What?"

"Dad had a secret family, Adam's mom & our sister were killed by ghouls a few days ago."

"We had a sister?"

"Lizzie," Adam said. "Her name was Lizzie, she was twelve."

Castiel snapped his head up as if he heard a sudden loud noise, "You okay Cas?"

"The angels, they're looking for you two." He touched them both on their chests & they groaned in pain.

"What the hell? What'd you do?"

"I carved sigils into your ribs, they'll keep you hidden from angels."

"Why are angels looking for us?"

"Besides the fact that you freed Lucifer, you're vessels."

"What do you mean vessels?"

"He means you're angel meat suits," Meg said.

"Did you know that the whole time Cas?"

Castiel shook his head, "Of course not, I was told to help you two prevent broken seals but they didn't tell me what happens if we failed. I told you before, my superiors don't tell me much,"

"Did you know?" Dean asked Meg.

"No, I'm not exactly high ranking in heaven."

"So who are the angels that need to use us?"

"Michael & Lucifer, you're to fight & begin the end."

"What do you mean fight?" Dean asked.

"You don't know the bible too well do you?" Adam asked.

"Guess not,"

"Michael kills Lucifer in the bible,"

"So one of us has to kill the other?"

"They're angels, they can't possess you without your consent."

"So we keep saying no, problem solved,"

Castiel shook his head, "No, eventually they will grow tired or your refusal, they can always force you to comply."

"Can they be killed?" Adam asked.

"It won't be easy," Meg answered.

"But angels can be killed, I mean if Michael & Lucifer are supposed to fight to the death then obviously angels in general can be killed."

"An angel can only be killed by an angel blade,"

"Castiel produced his blade from his sleeve, "Every angel has one,"

"Okay so with you & Rebecca we got two."

"Right," Meg said uncomfortably.

"You said Lucifer was in a cage," Adam brought up, "Is there a way to lock him up again?"

Everyone looked at each other, "Cas, do you know of a way to lock him up again?"

"I don't," He looked at Meg, "Do you?"

"No, we should go search for a solution while they lay low."

"Right,"

A month had gone by & in that time the boys crossed paths with the horseman, War. They were able to stop him once they figured out his ring was the source of his power & they cut it off his hand. Castiel & Meg frequently checked in on the boys, at some point they got separated from each other. Meg witnessed a huge group of demons capture Castiel & she heard the name Crowley.

Meg dialed Dean's number, "Dean, where are you?"

"We're at Bobby's house," Meg appeared in the living room where they were all gathered, "Are you okay? Where's Cas?"

"Demons took him to Crowley,"

"Who's Crowley?" Adam asked.

"King of the crossroads, I bet he wasn't happy when Gabriel rescued Castiel from the pit. We have to go save him before Crowley kills him,"

"Can he do that? Crowley is a demon, Cas is an angel."

"Yes he's an angel but he still has his human soul. Strong & powerful as he is he's still vulnerable. We need to save him!"

"How are we gonna get to hell?"

"I know of a way,"

Castiel struggled against the heavy chains wrapped around his wrists & even his wings. His shirt had been ripped off of him & his torso was covered in fresh scars & gashes. "I've discovered that Enochian spells are of great use." Crowley said with a sinister smile. "They're perfect for weakening little boy angels & dragging them back to hell where they belong."

"I don't belong here," Castiel spat, "I was never meant to come here."

"You came here anyway,"

"What do you want with me?"

"Nobody escapes from hell, the angels had no right to take you."

"I didn't belong here & neither did Megan."

"Yet they came for you & turned you into a bloody angel!" He shouted.

"You know I'm an angel now & you try to torture me like Alistair did,"

"You may not feel too much pain from the torture now, but you still have a soul so you feel something. But just to be sure I have something else in mind for you." Crowley picked up Castiel's angel blade.

"What are you going to do with that?"

Crowley approached him holding the blade, "Would you like something to bite down on?" Before Castiel could Crowley dragged the blade across his chest, he bit down to avoid screaming. "You don't have to pretend to be brave in here Clarence, I want to hear you scream,"

"I don't plan on giving you the satisfaction,"

"Oh I think you will," Crowley kept drawing blood from Castiel's body with the blade, deep enough to cause damage but not deep enough to kill him which caused Castiel to scream out. It brought a smile to Crowley's face. "That's a good boy,"

"Stop!" Castiel pleaded.

"Why would I do that?" He was about to cut him again but stopped when he heard demons screaming. "What's going on out there?" The door burst open & there stood Sam, Dean & Adam.

"Let him go Crowley!"

"How did you get here?" Castiel asked weakly, glad to see his friends.

"Rebecca, she's handling some demons," Sam said.

"It's a whole family reunion," Crowley laughed, "Except for you, you're not of the Campbell bloodline are you?" He asked Adam.

"That doesn't matter,"

Meg ran in & froze when she saw Crowley, she never told anybody but next to Alistair he was the only other demon that scared her. "Let him go!"

"Megan Johnson, why am I not surprised you're helping the Winchesters?"

"Megan?" Dean questioned.

Meg ignored him, "Let him go Crowley," She repeated.

"You were always a bad little demon, refusing to hand over what was left of your humanity."

Meg took the demon knife from Adam, "Let him go or die," she threatened.

"This isn't over whore," Crowley said before disappearing.

Meg went to unchain Castiel, "Are you alright? Any permanent damage?"

"I'll heal eventually," He watched as she undid the chains, they were hanging from the ceiling & the only thing holding him up. Sam & Adam caught him before he hit the floor.

"Cas, is all this blood yours?"

"Yes,"

"Why did Crowley call you Megan?" Dean asked.

"Can we talk about it later? We need to get out of here,"

"Lead the way, we've got Cas," Meg lead them back the way they got in & Dean helped her fight the demons off. They made it out with minor injuries & returned to Bobby's house.

"Castiel will need a day or two to recover," Meg said as he was laid on the sofa.

"Now that it's safe, why did Crowley call you Megan?"

Meg sighed, "It was my name when I was human,"
