CHAPTER 20

Castiel next contacted the other Hunters. Rowena had instructed him on how the bracelets worked. And so, without further thought he sat at the library table and seem to drift of in his own mind.

'Hunters, I need your help. My wife Meg is missing. I know she is in Kansas probably Lawrence or Lebanon. She is being held by Leviathan. If you find her location DO NOT ATTEMPT RESCUE. Pray to me with her location and I will relay instructions for a rendezvous point.'

From all over the United States Castiel was getting prayers from Hunters, all of them. They were already converging on Kansas. Some of the Hunters owed him nothing but were still helping him. He didn't ask why he just welcomed the help.

While he was sitting there, he made two categories in his mind

1) Bond = Meg

2) = Hunter

The bond to Meg was always open though, nothing but weakness came thru. So at least she was alive he just couldn't find her.

Hunters would pray to him letting him know places they had checked and found empty so they could eliminate them, and other Hunters wouldn't waste precious time checking again.

And so, it went, slowly with Castiel just sitting and staring. Rowena and Jack both tried speaking to him but only received short, clipped answers in return.

Chuck, Amara and Lucifer kept a close eye on him for any violent change. All three hoping it would not happen.

Jack had popped back to Hell to get Lucifers' Archangel Blade he would need it to fight when the time came. He also picked up the First Blade for Amara. She wore the Mark now. She controlled it; it did not control her.

And he picked up his own blade. One he had made himself in the Fires of Hell. He had used two Angel blades and his Uncle Gabriel's Archangel Blade that Sam and Dean bought back from the Apocalypse world when Gabriel had been killed by Michael. It was well balanced and a bit longer than the Angel and Archangel blades. He named the blade Gabriel to honor his uncle. He also had Rowena put a spell on the Blade so it would not kill an innocent who was being use by a Demon (unless the vessel was already dead). The Winchesters and Castiel had taught him not to harm the Vessel unless it was unavoidable. He gave his second in command instructions to get the most loyal Demons ready in case they were needed. Once he had the weapons and spoke to his second in command, he snapped himself back to the Bunker. He handed Amara the First blade knowing she had full control of it.

When he handed Lucifer his Blade, he did so with a warning in his eyes which Lucifer acknowledged with a nod of his head.

The unsaid statement and warning that said 'Do Not Betray Our Trust' was there.

And so, they waited.
