Chapter 55
Leca's POV
We are all now in the living room sitting on the couch and watching Cas and Gabriel fight over the dagger. From the moment they saw it, they couldn't stop ogling it. Hunter was curled next to my dad's feet looking at us quietly
"Gabriel enough let me see it" I heard Cas say
"You had your turn! I want to see the pretty dagger"
"Give it to me"
"No way! It's soooo shiny" Gabe said grinning and stroked the blade
"Don't get cut, careful" Cas said
"Pssss what could possibly happen?"
"We don't know the repercussions Gabriel! Now give it to me!" Cas said and tried to snatch the dagger from Gabriel's hands, but Gabe slapped his hand away
"For crying out loud get out of my ass" Gabe said and shielded the dagger with his body
"I was never in your…" Cas said and tilted his head on the side. Damn he is so cute when he does that
"Will someone explain what the hell is this?" dad asked but apparently they didn't hear him. But I had enough; I had a story to tell too. I stood up, got between them and with a quick motion I managed to snatch the dagger from Gabe's strong hold
"Hey gimmie that" he whined and pouted. I just shook my head and made my way back to the couch. Gabriel went to sit next to me, most likely because he wanted to take the dagger into his hands again. Cas just remained on his feet
"Will someone explain now?" dad asked looking at the two angels. Both Cas and Gabe looked at me so I took it as my cue to start talking
"When I, uh…passed, I woke up in my room. I made my way downstairs and there was a man in a black suit"
"Death" both uncle Sam and my dad said and I nodded
"Yes. He started talking about a deal I supposedly made with him and long story short, he believed me that I wasn't the one that made the deal" I said and glared all of them in the room and especially Cas who just stared at the floor in shame
"Leca we are really…" uncle Sam started but I raised my hand and stopped him "What happened, happened. Where was I ? oh yes. By the way dad some chick named Tessa says hey" I said and I noticed my dad's face turn from surprise to the lovable smirk
"Tessa huh?" he said and smiled
"Yap…do I want to know?" I asked him
"Probably not" he said and chuckled
I took a deep breath not knowing how to tell them the next part
"Anyhow…when I saw Death again, he was pissed and he said that a shapeshifter, looking like me, made the deal with him"
"But why?" gramps asked and this was the hard part
"He was send by…uhh…" I stuttered and scratched the back of my neck
"Just say it" dad said
"Azazel" I said and I heard everyone gasp
"Excuse me?" dad started "Sorry I must have jell-o in my ears. Did you say that the bastard we killed did this?" dad asked and put emphasis on 'killed'
"I had the same reaction as you guys. But Death doesn't play around. Azazel is alive" I said
"But we saw him die" Sam said
"Did we?" suddenly gramps said and we all looked at him
"What do you mean dad?" my dad asked
"I mean that, we saw the arrow going through him but we never checked if he was truly dead. For all we know he could have used a shapeshifter"
"The old man is right" Gabe said and grandpa John glared him "Using a duple it's the oldest trick in the book"
"Well now it's too late, is it?" dad yelled and Gabe frowned
"Not my fault you were being sloppy kid" Gabe said standing and glared my dad
"Well sorry I was too busy dying at the moment!" dad said and stood up to face Gabriel making Hunter to snap his head upwards
"Whoa, whoa guys chill" uncle Sam said and went to stand between them "No need to fight" he said and I saw my dad nodding. Gabriel also nodded and sat down next to me. He made a move to snatch the dagger but I slapped his hand away
"Get your own dagger"
"But I want thiiiis" he whined and I rolled my eyes. I swear sometime he was worse than Johnny
"Focus Gabriel" I heard Cas's voice say and Gabe crossed his arms over his chest and mumbling something about him being a 'party-pooper'
"As I was saying, behind the deal was really Azazel" I said and this time gramps interrupted me
"What was the deal about?"
"Uh…something about a ring. The ring of Enidu or something like that" I said and I hear the Cas and Gabriel gasp in surprise
"The ring of Enkidu?" Cas asked and moved to stand in front of me. I avoided his stare cause I knew that if I took one look in those blue oceans I would fall right into his arms. No, no, no! I'm still mad at him for not believing me. But he looks so hot and adorable at the same time NO! Focus Electra!
"Yes that's the one"
"Holy Moses!" Gabriel said "How sweet is that? We have both the ring of Enkidu and the dagger of Tears? Sweet!"
"The dagger of who now?" both me and my dad asked and Gabriel looked at Cas
"Buckle up kids! Its story time"
"The story begins with the great Sumerian king Gilgamesh who by a lot was considered a tyrant who mistreated the people of Uruk. The nobles of the city complained bitterly of Gilgamesh's behavior. Their complaints then attracted the attention of the gods, who decide to do something about it" Gabriel started narrating
"The gods created a rival for Gilgamesh—a man named Enkidu who is as strong as the king and who lives in the forest with the wild animals. Their plan is for Enkidu to fight Gilgamesh and teach him a lesson, leading the king to end his harsh behavior toward his people. When Gilgamesh hears about Enkidu, he sends a woman from the temple to civilize the wild man by showing him how to live among people"
"Is this taking long?" my dad said and yawned
"Shut up Dean" my uncle Sam said and I smiled
"Thank you moose. Cas take it from here, I haven't eaten anything sweet for 1 day and I think I'm getting sick" Gabe said and a pie appeared in his hand. Soon enough he started strangling the poor pie
"After learning the ways of city life, Enkidu goes to Uruk. There he meets the king at a marketplace and challenges him to a wrestling match. The king and the wild man struggle, and Gilgamesh is so impressed by Enkidu's strength, skill, and courage that he embraces his rival, and the two men become close friends. Because of this loving friendship, Gilgamesh softens his behavior towards the people of Uruk and becomes a just and honorable ruler. Impressed with Gilgamesh's courage and daring, the goddess Ishtar offers to marry him. He refuses, however, and insults the goddess by reminding her of her cruelty toward previous lovers. Enraged by his refusal and insults, Ishtar persuades her father, the god Anu, to send the sacred Bull of Heaven to kill Gilgamesh. Anu sends the bull, but Gilgamesh and Enkidu kill the bull first. Enkidu further insults Ishtar by throwing a piece of the dead bull in her face" Cas said
"Ha ha! That what I'm talking about!" my dad cheered and everyone send him a shut up look
"Is there a point to the story?" gramps asked and I could tell that he was getting restless
"I'm getting there" Cas said "As a punishment for killing the Bull, Enkidu falls ill and grows weaker and weaker and finally dies after 12 days of suffering. Gilgamesh is overwhelmed with grief. He also fears his own death and decides that he must find a way to gain immortality"
"Uh oh. I don't like where this is going" I hear my dad say and I have to say that I agree with him
"So I'm guessing you won't like the next part as well" I hear Gabe said in between bites
"After Enkidu's funeral and burial, Gilgamesh sets out on a long and hazardous journey to seek a man named Utnapishtim. Utnapishtim had survived a great flood and was granted immortality by the gods. Gilgamesh travels through various strange lands and meets people who tell him to end his search and accept his fate as a mortal. Refusing to give up, Gilgamesh finally reaches the sea and persuades a boatman to take him across the waters to the home of Utnapishtim" Cas continued but of course my dad had to butt in
"What kind of names are those?" he exclaimed and I saw my uncle rolling his eyes
"So what happened after he went to find Ut…kna…the dude with railway name" uncle Sam asked Cas
"He founds Utnapishtim and he offers the hero a challenge: if Gilgamesh can stay awake for seven days, he will be given the immortality he desperately desires. Gilgamesh won the challenge and Utnapishtim gave him the ring of immortality. Gilgamesh later engraved the ring with his best friend's name. Therefore the ring of Enkidu"
"So that ring provides immortality to anyone who wears it?" my dad asked Cas replied with a yes "And Azazel has that ring? Well that's…super"
"Azazel is immortal now?" I asked "Then why the hell did Death game me the dagger?" I asked and Gabe was the one to answer me
"The Gods were so angry by Gilgamesh's newfound immortality, they created a weapon, one of a kind to kill him" he started and I allowed him to take the dagger into his hands "That weapon was created by pure fire and the tears of the three Fates" he explained and stroked the blade "And that weapon is that dagger here"
"Did the dagger killed Gilgamesh?" I asked
"Yes" he simply answered
"Ok great! We have the dagger so let's kill the sucker" my dad said
"It's not that easy Dean" I heard Cas say. Oh that voice…STOP IT! I said to myself, FOCUS! "The ring cloaks his presence. It requires a great deal of effort by us to locate him"
"Awesome" dad mumbled and I let out a loud yawn
"No matter how fascinating that story was, I'm beat! Goodnight" I said and stood up. I made my way to leave but I remembered that Gabe had the dagger. I return and grab it from his hands
"You are evil" he said and pouted. I just laughed and left the room, my trustful wolf by my side
After a quick shower, I hoped on the bed and lay with my hands behind my back. Hunter also climbed on the bed with me and rested his head on my stomach. I withdraw one hand and I start stroking his white fair. After what it seemed like a good half an hour, I felt the familiar warm presence in the room
"Hi" I heard him say shyly but I didn't respond. I continued looking at the ceiling
"It seems that you are angry at me. And with every right" he said "I shouldn't have jumped into conclusions like that"
"Yes you shouldn't" I simply said and I tried to focus at the ceiling. Huh…it could use some painting
"I am truly sorry"
"I know you are but…do you have any idea how much it hurt seeing you looking at me with disappointment written all over your face?" I said and I gently push Hunter's head aside so I can sit up. I can see Hunter jumping on the floor and curling up in the corner, watching Cas's every move
"I thought you made a deal"
"But I didn't!" I said and stood up "I didn't make the stupid deal! What you should have done was to talk to me! Not just run off" I said and he lowered his head
"If you were given the chance to make a deal to bring your mother back, would you do it?" I heard him ask me and I was taken aback
"What?"
"Would you do it?"
"Uhh…I…NO!" I yelled in frustration "Yes! I DON'T KNOW!"
"I thought so" he said and looked at me. No Electra don't look his eyes, don't…oh man
"Don't turn this around"
"I am not" he said and came closer to me "Just please…try to be in my place. Seeing you with that mark, that was the first thing that crossed my mind. Please Electra" he said and took another step closer to me. He cupped my face into his hands and looked at me "I don't want to lose you. Ever! But I almost did lose you and that scared me beyond any word can describe" he said to me and I can see a single tear trickling down his cheek. I gently wipe the tear with my thumb and I give a little smile
"I can't promise you that I will never die, after all I'm a Winchester" I said and he chuckled a little "But I can promise you that no matter the situation I will do anything possible to be there for you, with you. You can't get rid of me so easily"
"Am I forgiven then ?" he asked, his blue eyes wide and shinier than ever. I don't bother to speak so instead I wrap his arms round his neck and pull him down to give him a soft but long kiss. I can feel him smiling and he snakes his arms around my waist
"I'll take that as a yes" he said after we broke from the kiss and rested his chin on the top of my head. We were just…right. I didn't even tiptoed; it was like we were forged that way so that the one can fit perfectly with the other. Like Lego's. Maybe Tessa was right after all
Maybe we were soulmates
Whoa that was a long one! :D Hope you really liked the chapter ^_^ And just fyi the names and people in the story of the ring were real! Just google it :D I just made some tiiiiny modifications for the story :) For the example the ring and dagger didn't exist in the real story I made them up hehe
