Laken
I looked at the house which was being built. The men kept looking at me confused and I gave them all the same lie about my dad being in Canada and building this for his company. I looked around at the old rusted cars before heading back to mine. I had manage to get a fake license so I wasn't breaking too many rules. I drove down to the local diner where we were all meeting for lunch that day. Jody had been busy lately and I wanted to spend as much time with my siblings as possible before I head off again to deal with bigger issues. I grabbed a table and started reading a book I had brought with me. I figure I would be earlier then them. Emma was starting school and Layton and Ben were helping her out with catching up. I looked up shocked to see someone starring at me. He was in a suit and seemed to be curious about every movement I made. I got up and walked straight towards him. He just looked at me curiously as I got to his table and sat down across from him.
"Waiting for someone?" I asked him.
"So you are the oldest of the twins?" He asked.
"I am. What is it to you." I said.
"You are on our watch list and I wanted you to be warned. I am not the only one watching. There are about five to six other agents who would love to bring in a Winchester." He said.
"Well I will keep that in mind when I am out in about." I said.
"You should be in school, correct?" He asked.
"I dropped out." I told him.
"You have a few undocumented friends."
"Moira is on a visa from Scotland and Emma's mom never got papers to prove her birth. Her mother's people had a weird culture." I explained.
"I was talking about you steady boyfriend."
"Cael? He from England here on visa also." I lied not knowing why Cael was undocumented.
"His name is Cael now." the guy commented.
"What do you mean?" I asked. He handed me a folder with the name WILLIAM JAMES CAELUM on it. He got up and left paying for his drink. I carried the folder back to my table and opened up the folder. A picture of Cael at a young age was there. He was next to a little girl who looked like a younger version then him. On the back was a description, William (5) and Cynthia (3). William and Cynthia went to the park today with their mother Elisa and their nanny, Abigail. I reread the description. Caelum wasn't human so he couldn't have grown up in the '50s. The photo was obviously from the '50s and all the info in the folders was from the '50s and on.
"You need some answers." a familiar voice said. I looked up to see Gadreel.
"What does Metatron want me to know about Cael?" I asked.
"I was wondering if you knew." Gadreel said.
"Why are you curious on what Metatron is up to?"
"I may have made a mistake about trusting Metatron." He told me.
"So you help us and we all defeat Metatron together?"
"That is correct. I just need a good word in with Castiel and Caelum."
"Alright you help me understand this file and you can have my word to both of them." I told him. He nodded as I set all the documents out.
"Is this Cael's vessel?" he asked.
"About Caelum how well do you know him?" I asked.
"I never meet him. He must have come afterwards, but something about him is off. Like he isn't completely a angel." Gadreel told me. I looked at the birth certificate which listed him has being born in 1945.
"He has a birthday, parents who seem to love him. Father was named Gabriel Caelum and his mother was Susan T. Kade. Father died when he was young. Two siblings who he never got along with. He moved around with his mother til she died then he disappeared for a decade and resurfaced in Kansas in the late 70s. He disappeared in the mid-80s and resurfaced in Kansas again in the late 90s." I told Gadreel.
"Why Kansas?" He asked me. I looked at the dates and my hand began to shake. 1979-1983 and 1998 were the exact years he was in Kansas. He wasn't just there to be there. He came out due to the Winchester family. Why though? What was his connection to them.
"The exact years are when my father and I were in Kansas. My dad was born in 1979 and lived there till his mother died in 1983. I was born in 1998 and lived there for six months. Cael must have been watching us for some reason or other." I said.
"His father is undocumented. He never existed." Gadreel pointed. I looked back through the file and smiled.
"This is what Metatron wanted me to see. He wanted to show why I should not trust Cael. Lead me down a rabbit hole to find out some little insignificant detail of my boyfriend's past." I said. Gadreel just nodded before leaving. I waited for Layton, Ben, and Emma for a while longer before I heard them walk in laughing. I waved them over and moved over for Layton. Emma sat across from me and Ben sat by her.
"How was school?" I asked.
"I hate it." Emma admitted.
"Normal." Layton said grabbing the menu. "Emma, their salad is decent. Laken and Ben like their burgers."
"They are good though." Ben said. I smiled before I saw some guys talking to this girl. She seemed to dislike them talking to her.
"Layton, can I get out really quick?" I asked. He nodded and I went over to them. "Hey sweetie."
"Ummm... hey." She said looking shocked. The guys looked at me like I was a threat.
"I'm just passing through and I think I am lost. I am trying to get home and no one can redirect me." I said showing her a map with the words are you okay on it?
"I can't help you." She said as she shook her head 'no.'
"What about you men?" I said kindly.
"Yeah, we can help you." One said with a smirk. I smiled before walking towards the doors.
"Coming?" I asked them. They both got up and left the girl alone who Layton waved over. I walked out and walked to some random car before I punched the first guy and made him fall to the ground. I then kicked the other one in the groin.
"You do not mess with innocent children." I told them. One of them laughed well the other showed his eyes. Demons.
"Abbadon sent you." I muttered.
"We knew we could get your attention, princess." One said. I smiled.
"Tell Abbadon that the war has just begun assholes." I said before killing one as Cael taught me. The other one ran for it. I walked in to check on the girl. She looked at me shocked to see me come back without the men.
"What happen to them?" She asked.
"Pretend like what happen never happen and you will live a long life." I said.
"Their eyes though. They came in to my house and killed my parents. I have no one else." She said with tears falling fast.
"We have no one either." I told her. "You can stay with us if you want, but you got to past a test." She nodded before I gave her a flask. She drank and was fine.
"Was something suppose to happen? It was just water." She said.
"Holy water. It is a demon test." Ben said. She looked at Ben and Emma.
"Demons?" She asked. We all looked at each other.
"How about we eat dinner and talk at home?" Layton suggested. She nodded as the waitress came to take our orders.
"By the way what is your name?" I asked.
"Haven." She said. "Haven Summers."
Layton volunteered to give Haven the topic about the not natural part of our world. I focused on the documents on Cael trying to piece it all together. Gabriel Caelum is what caught me every time. I went through the photos and stopped when I finally found one of Caelum at age 18. He was smiling ear to ear. I read the back to see what happen. The description was the clue. William at age 18. The day he went on his first hunt. Cael was a hunter back in the 60s so what happen. I found another photo.
"I was very sexy in my younger days wasn't I?" a voice said before I could turn around the file was out of my hand. Cael was looking at all of it. "How the hell did you get this?"
"Metadouche was trying to break us." I said.
"He wasn't trying to break us. He was trying to give me a hint that he knows who I am." Cael said. I looked at him confused. "I'm not a angel. I can fake it decently, but technically I never been a angel."
"Then what are you?" I asked.
"I'm a nephilim." he told me. "My mother was Susan Kade, a hunter and my father was no other then a angel who she meet. She was hunting a trickster and when she ran into him a second time after properly killing him, he told her the truth and once in a while they ran into each other and then I came along. It raised all the alarms and we moved around a lot until my stepdad and sister came into the picture. We settled down for a while then my stepdad was killed by a demon and my mom got back into hunting. It was her personal drug."
"So you were raised at hunter?" I asked.
"If any angel finds out my name is really William then the hunts will begin. No one of my kind survives." he told me. I knew it was a long shot, but I felt like asking.
"So then do you know your father?" I asked.
"Yes." He said quietly.
"Why doesn't he protect you?" I asked.
"Gabe can only do so much before he gets himself in trouble again." Cael said.
"Can I call you William when we are alone?" I asked.
"I prefer Will. It is less formal and less annoying." Cael said. He leaned down slowly and his lips meet mine. I felt like all the rest of the questions disappeared as we were together. I knew something was wrong though when he pulled away and looked around.
"Does anyone else know about the file?" Cael asked.
"Just Metatron, Gadreel, and me." I told him. A knock on the door surprised us both. I went and answered it to see Castiel all shaken up.
"Steve what is wrong?" I asked.
"Have you see Caelum? He went missing and no one can find him." Castiel told me.
"Why are you looking for him?" I asked.
"He sent me a note saying that Metatron was onto him about something. He was looking for help." Castiel looked worried.
"He is inside if you need to talk to him real fast." I muttered. I let him in and Cael looked at Cas suspicious.
"Something wrong?" Cael asked.
"How many people know your secret? If anyone knows we are allies then it could go bad." Cas told Cael.
"My secret?" Cael asked.
"That your a nephilim." Cas said. Cael looked shocked.
"Only a select few." Cael muttered.
"Just stay away for a while. I wouldn't want harm coming to you or your girlfriend. Metatron wants you two out of the big picture." Cas told us.
"Meaning we got to work under the table and defeat Metatron." Cael said.
"Gadreel might be a future resource." I warned them both.
"The final battle of the angels maybe closer then we expect." Cael mentioned. Cas did not like his comment one bit. I wasn't to fond of it either.
"We shall see what happens, but for now my biggest concern is getting Crowley back in power downstairs and getting Abbadon out of the way." I told them.
"The Winchesters have a way to defeat her." Cas told them.
"At what cost?" Cael asked.
"The mark of Cain." Cas said.
"Those two are in over their head. If Dean dies he will become his worst nightmare. Trust me, I lived through that." I warned Cas.
"How did you know Dean was the one to bare the mark?" Cas asked.
"Anyone who has every bare the mark can feel it when someone else has the mark." I explained. I grabbed a soda from the fridge and looked at the two of them.
"Shall we celebrate the end of the world or shall we celebrate the begin of a new era?" I joked as I took a sip and I felt as if death was closer then we all imaged.
A/N
So that just happen... So who all ship Cael and Lake because I think I need to kill Cael now. So how could Cael's mom survive? How is Cael alive? How is Veda? Can we trust Haven? All in due time. Also, I will post now on Thursdays and only one chapter for the next three chapters since this is now caught up with the original platform that I wrote woods on. So the final three chapters are upon us. Lastly, how do you guys pronounce Laken's name? Is is Lake-n or Lak-en? I personal use both when talking about the name.
