Peri rubbed her hands together. She swore and tried to keep them warm. She looked up and saw the black smoke. She prayed that she still had some of her daughter's powers left in her. If she didn't, she was definitely a goner.
"They are here," Castiel said.
"Let's see what the mother of the chosen one can do," Uriel said.
"She can kick your ass if you don't shut up," Peri told him.
"Yes, Uriel. Do shut up."
Castiel saw a small smile on Peri's face. He watched as the smoke stopped a hundred feet from them. It dissipated and Castiel saw the demons. Peri looked at them. She tried to get a head count but couldn't. A little girl stepped forward in a yellow dress. She walked ahead and the other demons followed her.
"Hello Persephone. I hear congratulations are in order. Now where is the bouncing baby girl?" Lilith asked.
"Somewhere safe from you," Peri answered.
"I will have your daughter."
"Over my dead body."
"If you insist."
Castiel saw Lilith wave her hand and the demons moved forward. He braced himself. Peri saw them come closer. She clasped her hands together. She began to chant and slowly pulled her hands a part. A light formed in between them. Lilith stopped. Her minions stopped behind her and watched.
"What's a matter Lilith? Scared of the light?" Peri asked.
"Only Sam has powers like that. This is impossible," Lilith answered.
"I am a descendant of a witch. Now kiss my Wiccan ass."
Peri turned the light on the demons. She managed to kill half. The others jumped out of the way. She couldn't hold it for very long. She collapsed on the pavement in a heap. Her last thoughts were of Dean and her daughter.
"Persephone!" Castiel yelled.
He went to go to her side but Uriel stopped him. The rest of the demons were regrouping and coming closer.
"Leave her for now. We have more fighting to do," he told his friend.
Castiel nodded. Uriel and him went to work on the demons. Killing as many as they could.
Lilith saw that Castiel and Uriel had left Peri out in the open. They were also distracted. She pulled two of her men aside. No one was protecting Peri; Lilith meant to have her.
"Cory, Bruce grab her," she ordered.
"Are you sure?" Cory asked.
"Yes. Once we have her it'll only be a matter of time before we'll have the chosen one."
Cory and Bruce nodded. Lilith followed them through the fight towards Peri. Castiel saw a blur of movement. He turned in time to see two demons grab Peri. Lilith waved.
"See you next time," Lilith said.
Then they were gone. Castiel felt his anger rising. He turned back and finished off the other demons. Uriel walked over to Castiel. They both looked around the road at the piles of bodies.
"They got her?" Uriel asked.
"Yes, we failed in our orders," Castiel answered.
"We were to protect the chosen one and Dean Winchester. The orders said nothing-."
"Mine did."
Uriel was silent. The two angels took one last look then were gone.
A/N: And so ends another part of the Persephone Series as I call it. The fourth part is called 'Broken'. I have the title and that's about all for now. I will try to finish this series. I hate leaving things unfinished. Thank you for reading and reviewing. See you soon.
