Chapter Thirty-Seven: Disobedience
Castiel was waiting. Zachariah had told him that there was an urgent matter that needed to be discussed and so Castiel waited for his superior. The night was cold, but the angel could not feel it. As he waited he thought of what had happened between him and Gemma at Bobby's.
Bobby's after Dean and Sam dropped the girls off for hunting 101…
"Gemma, keep your chin up!" Bobby called out to her.
"I've been fighting since I could walk you old bastard!" She shouted back at him. Emily's kick came in hard from the left knocking the older girl off her feet.
"That's enough ladies bring it in!" The veteran hunter said helping Gemma to her feet. "If you kept your chin up you would've seen her shift her weight." Gemma rolled her eyes and wiped off her backside.
"I'll go make lunch while you two discuss how terrible of a student I am." The fair-skinned brunette said lightly.
She left Bobby and Emily to talk and headed into the small kitchen. The pain in her side was becoming worse by the minute and she lifted up her tank-top to find a massive purple splotch on her side.
"Bitch…" She cursed reaching up into one of the cabinets and pulling a prescription bottle.
"Would you like me to heal you Gemma?" The husky voice behind her caused Gemma to spill the bottle of vicodin all over the aluminum floor.
"God damn it Cass! I'm buying you a bell!" She turned to glare at him.
"And what is the bell supposed to do?" The confused blue eyes made her smile.
"Forget it." She shook her head and hopped up onto the kitchen counter. She pulled her top off and tossed it on the floor.
Castiel just looked at her. He felt a slight stirring deep in his chest and although strange it wasn't uncomfortable.
"Are you just going to sit and stare all day or are you going to mend my broken ribs?" She asked.
"You're very beautiful for a woman." The angel stated a slight smile on his face.
"Repeat that?"
"You're very-"
"I heard what you said Cassie. I just don't get why you said it." Castiel beamed at the nickname she'd given him. Everyone called him Cass but when Gemma was really happy or really angry with him she would take it a step further and call him Cassie. Since she wasn't screaming he assumed she was happy and the angel loved making her happy.
"It is the truth…and as I've watched you and Dean interact, it makes you happy when he gives you compliments." The angel placed his hands on her rib cage and Gemma gasped as he fixed her broken ribs.
"Thanks Cass." She said when he was finished.
"Something is bothering you all of a sudden." Blue eyes met green and Gemma looked away.
"I like it when you touch me." The woman said blushing.
"I enjoy touching you as well…"
"No, Cass. I find it arousing when you touch me and you're an angel, I'm human so it's against the rules." She turned away from him and started pulling out stuff for sandwiches.
"Do you find Dean's touch arousing?" The question made her blush deepen.
"In a different way…with him it's like all of sudden I'm on fire and with you it's a slow burn. I'm so going to hell it's no longer funny." She laughed at herself.
"I will not let you go to Hell. I should not be saying this or even thinking it but…I no longer need to touch you to experience feelings. They are faint but…they are still there." Gemma turned to look at him. "I do not like these feelings. Every time I look at you…and I see the pain in your eyes I feel that pain Gemma."
She stepped closer to him and touched his face. The angel stayed completely still as she propped herself on her toes and kissed him gently on the lips.
"What do you feel now?"
"Happy."
Present Time…
"Castiel…your feelings for the whore are quite apparent." Zachariah stated gripping the younger angel by the shoulder.
"We call her a whore and yet she is still pure Zachariah." Castiel murmured.
"She is trying to seduce you! She is using her powers to make you have feelings for her that do not exist Castiel. She is using you." The elder angel explained.
"Are you questioning her power? The power, that our father bestowed upon her family just as Lucifer fell?"
"I do not question God's command. However I question where your loyalties lie. If she refuses to do what must be done…she must be killed Castiel. If she can't provide Dean with a son she will die and the duty will pass to Emily." The grip on Castiel's shoulder loosened.
"Emily, is not strong enough Zachariah…it must be Gemma. She is the only one that can save Dean from himself, you know this and yet you speak of only what happens should she fail. Do you have no faith in her?"
"It is you who has too much faith in that Jezebel! Her power is a double-edged blade! Should Lucifer get his hands on her after he rises she will turn on all of us! All of that power has been placed in a single being…given the chance Lucifer will teach her how to kill us and he will turn her against us! She is still human by our standards therefore she is vulnerable to Lucifer's tricks!" Zachariah shouted.
"She will not fail." Castiel assured the angry angel. "Dean will not allow her to fail…he will not allow her to die…and neither will I."
"You will do as you are told." Castiel lowered his gaze as Zachariah stared him down. "If I tell you to rip her apart you will do it because if you do not you both will die."
There was silence between the two angels. Castiel stared at his feet and Zachariah scowled at Castiel.
"The children will not be conceived until after Lucifer has risen. When they are born it will be your job to kill the female so that the son can prosper." The younger angel looked up immediately.
"Kill the daughter? That was not part of the original order."
"Our father has deemed it necessary that only the child known as Jonathan Robert Winchester can live. Evelyn Kyra Winchester shall be taken into God's hands the moment she is born." Zachariah looked at his subordinate as if daring him to question the change.
"Losing her daughter will destroy her. It will tear her and Dean apart and she will die Zachariah!" Castiel exclaimed.
"Then so be it." The elder angel disappeared leaving Castiel to his thoughts.
