My goodness everyone, it's been a long time since I've updated. Alas I come bearing a girt, a new chapter. There is one chapter left, and that is of the big fight. I'm like 90% I'm going to do a sequel though so if you guys have ideas, I plead you, send them my way. :]
"This makes no sense whatsoever, Cas. Is it even a language?" I waved around the paper he had handed me. It was the spell I was responsible for saying when the time came, which by the look of thing, was going to be soon.
"Latin. Learn it. Memorize it. You cannot afford to make mistakes, the fate of the world lies in your hands."
"Oh wow Cas! No pressure right?" I stared at the words the paper, running them through my head several times until I felt I had it down.
"When's this thing going to go down, Cas?" Dean asked impatiently. The situation was taking a toll on him, mentally and emotionally. Instead of being sarcastic and joking, he turned serious to the point where it started to be annoying. Typically we'd use humor to get rid of the stress we had but now we were stressed out 24/7.
"Elmwood Cemetery on the outskirts of Detriot. It's not far, a two, three hour drive to get there."
"Sam is the only person who is going to be there, right?" Cas looked down at his shoes for a good minute before Dean forced him to speak up. Something told me Sam wasn't going to be alone.
"Michael will also be there. Lucifer and Michael will battle each other and one will come out victorious."
"So much for being his one true vessel. What poor bastard is he possessing? Why didn't you tell us this earlier, Cas? This changes everything!"
"I didn't know about this until yesterday. Other Angels have been keeping quiet in preparation of the fight. Adam is his vessel, Dean."
"Dean, who's Adam?" I asked.
"He's Sam's and I half brother. We met him a while back and we knew there was a slight chance that he could be Michael's vessel if I didn't say 'yes.'"
"Will this spell thing work on Michael too if he gets in the way?"
"Yes," Cas said, "it will work on any supernatural being within a mile radius."
"So that means you aren't coming or else you'd be sent away to?"
"Correct," Cas responded.
I didn't like the idea of there being another person at our confrontation, especially when that person is the strongest archangel ever. Now with a new "guest," it's going to be harder to do this spell. There is no doubt in my mind he'll try to stop us so he can fight Lucifer because, you know, it's his "destiny."
"Do you think we have time for a nap before this all goes down? I'm really tired, guys."
Cas answered quickly with a "no." "There are preparations we must attend to before tomorrow. There is no time for sleeping."
I threw my hands up in the air. "But Cas, I'm exhausted! How am I supposed to function properly if I don't get at least an hour nap? Pretty please with sugar on top?"
"An hour only. Everything must be set for tomorrow."
I was out for the count. There hasn't been much sleep for anyone these days so even an hour is heaven. An hour that feels like 5 minutes.
"Hey it's time to wake up." Someone shook my shoulder to wake me up. I swung around my arm like a mad man.
"Just five more minutes please."
"You've already had an extra hour. I managed to convince Cas to let you sleep longer by giving you an extra hour but he'll think this is too much…"
"So let me get this straight, I may die tomorrow and I don't even get a decent nap? There's something wrong with that."
"No one's dying tomorrow, especially you.."
"Who can guarantee that, Dean? You heard Cas, no one knows what the spell is capable of doing, heck it can probably kill me. All I know is that it will be a miracle if I come out alive."
"Miracles can happen," Dean said hesitantly, resting his hand on my hand.
"Well lets hope one happens tomorrow." We exchanged a kiss before going back to work. I've never really believed that miracles can happen, let alone one can happen to me. I'm hoping that one happens, but my chances are slim. The odds are against me. I may only have a couple hours left before it's all over, for me at least.
