Chapter Twenty-Nine: Kildero Witches
"Here is the prophecy!" Jacob exclaimed. He motioned for Sam to approach the book and read.
"When six become two a power stronger than life and death will smite the fifth leaving the power of six to only one. The she-demon closest to the heart of life will threaten the balance and bring about the end of days. Once the fallen has risen and the earth is covered in flame only death and death's heart can cage the one that began it all. Emmeline Kildero 528. " Sam looked towards Dean somberly.
"What does it mean?" The older brother asked.
"I don't know…it doesn't sound like a seal." The younger answered. Emily and Gemma looked at each other with knowing glances.
"When six become two…when six guardians become two." Emily said softly.
"A power stronger than life and death will smite the fifth leaving the power of six to only one. Something stronger than life and death is going to take away Emily's powers and give them to me." Gemma continued.
"What does the rest mean?" Sam asked.
"We don't know." Emily answered quickly. Gemma wouldn't meet Emily's gaze. "There are thousands of prophecies that talk about The Six. We'd always thought they were nonsense, stupid stories to tell in the dark and keep us from being bored during sleepovers."
"Sleepovers?" The shorter of the male hunters asked softly. "As in pillow fights and skanky pajamas?"
"Dean…reality and porn." His younger brother reminded him.
A loud noise startled everyone. They turned to find that Uncle Jacob has passed out in a chair off in one corner of the hidden library.
"The prophecies are bull-shit Sam…you shouldn't read too much into them. Anything that any of my ancestors have written deals with either, The Sword, The Six, Death, Life, The Heart of Death, The Heart of Life or The Dark One." Sam watched as Emily closed the book and put it back on the shelf.
"Well The Six are the guardians, death must be Gemma, you must life and I'm going to take shot in the dark and say that The Dark One is Lucifer." Dean said looking at Emily. "The rest I don't know. The Heart of Death and Life…I've got a feeling that it doesn't actually man you guys' hearts."
"Sam, Dean why don't you grab some food and bring it down here for us while Gemma and I try and wake up my uncle?" Emily suggested. Sam and Dean looked at each other before making their way back up the stairs.
"We should tell them." The redhead said.
"Tell them what? That love is what takes my power away? Love for Sam who is the Heart of Life? Or maybe we should skip that and go to the part where Ruby's relationship with Sam brings about the fucking apocalypse? Gemma we still don't know how exactly Lucifer is brought back!" Emily said forcefully.
"Yes we do. There's something in that obscure version of revelations that Sam has that states with the death of the first demon He shall rise and bring about the end of days. The first demon is Lilith…so as long as Lilith doesn't die Lucifer can't rise and the apocalypse can't officially start." Emily looked at her friend confused. "Don't you get it Emily? Lilith IS the final seal! There's only one first and one final seal. Dean torturing souls in hell was the first seal…the death of Lilith is the last one. If the last seal isn't broken Lucifer can't rise and the apocalypse can be kept at bay!" Gemma clapped her hands with joy.
"That's great Gemma…but how are we going to keep Sam and Dean from killing Lilith?" The private celebration that Gemma was having came to an abrupt halt. She turned and looked at the only friend she had left and shook her head.
"We can't."
"These powers, were given to the original guardians by the archangels right? That's what Castiel said right?" Emily asked.
"So?"
"They gave our ancestors angel powers…meaning we're like part angel right?"
"Okay…"
"We can stop Sam from killing Lilith! He's still human and angels are higher up on the food chain so we can stop the apocalypse!" It was Emily's turn to get excited.
"You mean I…can stop the apocalypse. You gave your powers to me…therefore I have to stop Sam and Dean by myself." Both girls looked at each other darkly. "I can't hurt Dean…no more than you can hurt Sam."
"We have to tell them."
"They won't believe us! The minute we tell them that Lilith cannot be allowed to die they'll quit listening…Dean, wants to kill Lilith because Lilith sent him to Hell…Sam wants to kill Lilith for the same exact reason." Gemma explained.
"Sam…do you think that Gemma and Emily know something they aren't telling us?" Dean asked his brother on their way back to the library.
"Absolutely…but if it were serious they'd tell us so I'm not concerned." Sam answered.
"Sam…there's something about Gemma that I have to tell you."
"What is it Dean? Don't tell me you got her pregnant…"
"What? No…God no…I mean dude…that would require us to have had sex." The older brother said defensively.
"Wait…you still haven't-"
"Every time we get close either you or Emily or fucking Cass interrupts! I mean you three take the gold in keeping me from getting my freak on." Dean was completely serious and Sam couldn't help but laugh.
"Getting your freak on?" The younger of the two chuckled.
"Dude, that's not the point! The angels have a plan for her."
"A plan? Kind of like they've got a plan for you?"
"Cut the sarcasm crap Sammy, this is serious!" The shorter hunter complained. "Gemma and I are supposed to 'produce the next line of Winchester' as Cass so delicately put it."
"You have kids? Wait scratch that…Gemma, have kids? Does she know about this?" Sam pulled open the door to the hidden staircase.
"I haven't told her…and I mean I want kids but we're in the middle of stopping the freaking apocalypse and the angels want me to get down to business."
"You're telling me this why?" They were still far enough away from the secret library so the girls wouldn't hear them.
"I think I love her Sammy."
"Okay…I swear I thought I just heard you say you love Gemma Schuster."
"Don't make me say it again this is awkward enough as it is." Dean looked over his shoulder before leaning in close to Sam. "I love her…I just don't know how to tell her."
"Well Dean you go up to her and say, Gemma I love you."
"Haha smartass…you know what I mean. She just doesn't seem like the kind of girl I usually…you know."
"Fuck around with?"
"Sam, seriously I'm trying to have a male bonding moment here and you're making it really difficult." Sam shook his head at his brother's statement.
"Well buy her something…like jewelry or I don't know girl stuff."
"Jewelry okay…what should I get her?" Dean asked.
"Dean…" Sam shook his head before heading towards the hidden room.
"What?" The older hunter followed after his brother.
