Chapter 11

Don't Hold Me Back

It had been two weeks since they had found out that Ms. Baker was pregnant. Things had gone by pretty smoothly. After the ultra sound Gabriel went and did that thing he had to do, though Daken was still a little suspicious. A few days later Megan told them that she was going on a hunt for a Wendigo with the Winchesters and won't be able to look after them for at least a week. Daken told her to be safe even though he had no idea what a Wendigo was; he would have to Google it later.

He had had the same dream every night, always waking up gasping for air. Whenever he closed his eyes he saw the man with black eyes, glaring at him in a murderous way. He had to stay awake most of the night because he was too afraid that he will have a Nightmare on Elm Street death.

And now there he was; sitting on the couch again, drinking an orange soda, and Div sitting next to him. And guess what there watching? Yup, SpongeBob. He had to admit, the little spongy square was really starting to grow on him.

"Hey familia! Dinners almost done!" Daken heard Gabriel call from the kitchen. Ms. Baker was at work so Gabriel decided that he would try out the whole "cooking" thing. Daken was prepared for the worst when he walked into the dining room and sat down at the table.

Div sat down next to him and he watched as Mindy and Danny came into the room and took the two seats on the other side of the table.

"Does anyone even know what he's cooking?" Daken asked, unsure if he really wanted to know the answer to that.

"Knowing him it's probably something that's cooked with beer and served with a side of something sweet." Div said, shifting in her chair a little. Daken could tell she was nervous about something, and not just about the food.

"Get me the hell outta here!" They heard Gabriel yell from the kitchen.

They all glanced at each other and jumped out of their seats, running to the kitchen.

Once they were inside the kitchen they saw Gabriel standing inside a ring of fire. About five men stood around the circle, glaring at them as they came in.

"That's holy fire." Div whispered to him. "If an Angel tries to pass through it, they will die."

Daken tensed when he saw that all the men had black eyes. They were Demons. Daken felt his breath leave him, as if the whole image of those black eyes were suffocating him, like in his dream.

One man with spiked up brown hair stepped forward,, as if observing all of them, and smirked. "Looks like we got a couple of Nimpilims here." The Demon gestured something and the four Demons charged after them. One Demon ran at Daken and grabbed his arms, pulling them behind his back. He quickly looked to his right and saw they had restrained his cousins too. This wasn't good.

"Now, don't even think about flying away. If you do, we will kill Gabriel." He said, his tone menacing.

The Demon approached Div. "Diversus. Good to see you again." He grinned devilishly.

"Rylie." Div hissed as she tried to get out of the restraint of the Demon.

Rylie nodded then slapped her. "That's for defying your father." He said. Daken watched as Div tried to charge at him, but only failed against the restraint of the Demon. He wondered what Rylie meant by that, but shrugged away the throught.

"Now," Rylie started and turned back to Gabriel whose face was red with anger. "Where is she?"

"Who?" Gabriel asked.

Daken struggled against the Demon behind him, trying to break free as the Gabriel and Rylie had their conversation.

"You know who I'm talking about." Rylie said.

"No, I don't!" Gabriel said, starting to get angry. Then his expression changed as if he suddenly realized who Rylie was talking about.

"No, you'll never get her." Gabriel said, fists clenching.

Rylie walked over to Danny and pulled his hair, lifting his head up. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a knife, holding it to Danny's throat. "Tell me or he dies."

The room started to tremble, as if an earthquake had suddenly hit. "Don't you dare touch my son!" he yelled, eyes blazing.

Danny looked absolutely terrified. His eyes were welling with tears, but you could tell he was trying to look strong by holding them back.

"Then tell me where she is!" Rylie demanded. Daken all of a sudden felt the weight of the Demon behind him leave, releasing him of his restraint. He turned around to see the Demon on the floor and a man with electric blue eyes, black hair, and a trench coat standing over him.

Daken saw Rylie turn around and look at the man in the trench coat. The Demon growled when he saw him. "Get him!" he ordered the Demons. They quickly released his cousins and went after the man. The trench coat man just put out a hand and a light flashed from it. When the light dissipated, all the Demons were lying on the ground, including Rylie.

"Castiel." Gabriel said as he looked at the man in the trench coat; Castiel.

Castiel walked over to him and the fire slowly died, releasing the Arch Angel.

"Thanks." Gabriel said and ran over to Danny and Mindy, hugging them. "You guys okay?" he asked.

The twins nodded. "Yeah Dad, we're fine." Mindy said as their father released them from his bear hug.

Daken turned to see Castiel staring at him, his head cocked to the side a little. "Daken Lennel, son of the Arch Angel Michael. It is an honor to meet you." He said, though he showed no emotion.

Daken stared at him, unsure of what to say. "Uh…you too…I guess."

Gabriel walked over to him, his hands in his pockets. "This is Castiel. He's an Angel, can be a dick, but he's cool for now."

Castiel glared at Gabriel for a second. Gabriel shot a glare right back at him. "How did you know that Demons were after me?" he asked.

"I've been keeping an eye on this household, ever since Megan told me that she had been looking after your children and the children of the other Arch Angels. I needed to make sure that she would be safe." Castiel explained then added, "Though it is highly frowned upon to have Nephilim children."

Daken saw Gabriel roll his eyes. "She told you?" He said.

Castiel nodded, as if that wasn't a hard to thing to understand.

"Oh, she is so dead." Gabriel said.

Castiel glared at him, his eyes daggers. "I would advise against that."

Gabriel just rolled his eyes again, clearly annoyed by the Angel. "Cas, get a life." He said.

Castiel ignored him. "What did the Demons want?" he asked.

"They wanted to know where 'she' was. I didn't realize it was Megan though until after a few moments." Gabriel said.

Daken stiffened. They were after Megan? Was she safe?

Castiel nodded then turned to Daken. "You seem to have a special bond with Megan." He stated.

"Uh…" was all that came out of Daken's mouth.

Gabriel laughed and said, "He sure does, right Kenny?"

Daken elbowed Gabriel. "Shut up and don't call me that." He growled, annoyed by his uncles comments.

"I am her protector, so don't hurt her." Castiel said and turned back to Gabriel.

"I will go check up on her and warn her about the Demons." He said then he was gone.

"Every time I see Cas he makes me feel good about not being socially awkward." Div said, rubbing her cheek.

Gabriel turned to her. "So, you knew that dick?" he asked, pointing to Rylie's dead body.

Div nodded. "One of Daddy's friends." Was all she said.

Gabriel quickly reached into his pocket when his phone rang. He flipped it open and answered with a "Hello?"

Daken watched as Gabriel's expression turned sour. "Okay, do you want me to come with you?" he asked, his voice sounding distressing.

A few more seconds went by before he said, "Okay, tell me how it goes." Then he closed the phone and put it in his pocket.

"Who was that?" Danny asked.

"You're Mom. She's having some pains so she's going to go the doctors. She said not to come and that it was probably just nothing." Gabriel said, but he looked worried.

That gut feeling had returned to Daken, making him think that that bad thing that he thought was coming was here.
