Of Pirates and Angels
Sam opened his eyes; it must be early the light of the pink sky outlining the curtains, the streams of light landing on uncovered tanned skin. Dean was sleeping, a faint sound of his breathing his hand gripping the side of the pillow his mouth open slightly, Sam peeled back the blanket a sudden feeling of restlessness he needed some air.
The morning sky was fading away clouds coming in vast amounts from the east bringing with them a cool breeze fresh with a promise of rain. "Nice isn't it?" Sam turned to see Benny sitting comfortably on the ground his back rested against the wall "Yeah I guess" Sam moved to sit across from him, Benny smiled for the sudden company holding up his flask "I call it courtesy, drinking before everybody's awake" Sam laughed "Yeah okay".
"So Sam, we really haven't had time to get to know one another huh?" "We've had a lot on our plate" Benny nodded placing his flask beside him "Well better now or never, my names Benny Lafitte I was a farmer from Louisiana mid 1700's, one day my travels took my all the way to New York, then still under the British. There I joined the sea life through a press gang, spent three years with nothing but the sea ahead," He smiled. "That must have been awful" Sam empathised, Benny shook his head "Wasn't so bad, I had nothing on land and there were many pressed men aboard so I wasn't alone".
"The conditions of those Navy ships were bad" Sam leaned closer keen to learn more "Bad pay, tough punishment and little to nothing food to go around". "So what happened?" "Our ship got attacked by what we all assumed was just a merchant ship, Vampirate's boarded the ship, killed most of the crew" "Why would they spare the others?" Benny smiled Sam was insistent for him to go on listening intently. "Well they had the same problems as the Navy, not enough crew to keep them above water, so they turned some" "Including you" "Yeah most of the able bodied men, then they keelhauled the Captain and made the last sailor scuttle the ship… told him to swim home" Benny laughed fondly at that memory.
"So you joined the Vampirate ship?" "Yes I did, took a lot to get used to, better food, no bearings and an all or nothing atmosphere, but in the end I lost more than I'd gained". "You died on board then" "Captain killed me himself" Sam nodded his head resting against the pole "Got sent to Purgatory and you know the rest".
"Just one more thing why did you help Dean?" "Well, Purgatory is for monsters, like me…" Benny pointed to himself "… but Purgatory wasn't meant for humans, so there's an escape hatch, problem is humans only". "So what was your plan?" "Soul ride" Sam sat staring blankly, Benny continued "Dean could carry my soul in him until we reached surface, I returned to my form as soon as we hit the surface just a little ahead of schedule because of that bright thing".
Sam looked to the ground in thought "So you and Dean didn't bring anything else with you?" Benny shook his head "No, well hell not that I'm aware of" "Well I mean that light as you and him describe sounds like an Angel" "You mean I saw an Angel, hah!" Benny laughed in disbelief. "I don't know, it couldn't have been Cas, Leviathan's beat Angels" "That thing melted the Leviathan's like an easily melt-able thing". "The only kind of creature with that kind of juice is an Arch Angel… but they're all dead?" "This was in Purgatory" "Is that where the angels go? I mean that doesn't make sense?" "Wow this is hurting my head" Benny sighed taking a swig from his flask.
Sam pushed up off the ground expression of concentration, "What is it?" Benny worried following him flask in hand, "Why kill Leviathan's and spare you and Dean? Then what send you both back to the surface?" Sam pushed open the hotel door.
As Dean turned to face the doorway Sam caught a glimpse of his eyes they'd changed to bright Hazel with a dark outline not in the least faded. The colour changed swiftly returning to the faded green, "Your eyes! What just happened?" Sam move to grab Dean's shoulders "Sam? What are you talking about?" Dean worried "I think you brought something with you Dean, it didn't save you and Benny for free"…
