"Michael?" Caym raises his eyebrow. "The Archangel Michael?"
"There's only one Michael with wings in this world ."
"Actually there was two. One umm...recently...died. The nephilim killed him."
"Lucifer junior." Lilith laughs. "Isn't that fucking ironic."
Caym heard about Rowena being the other Michael's last vessel before his death. The witch previously had connections to the archangels. It's fair to say the witch has had both Heaven and Hell inside of her. When his thoughts went to Ketch the demon immediately shut his mind down. Last thing he wanted to think about was that British abomination.
"Indeed." Caym agreed. "Michael thought he was invincible, unstoppable. That made him reckless. His choice of vessels cost him his life. As much as I would love to ride a Winchester I know it will come back to bite you in the ass. Abaddon was tempted to posses Dean she thought he would be perfect." He sighs. "He is not easy to get. Honestly I wouldn't waste my time chasing him. There are plenty of fish to choose from." He looks down at his body. "Andre is fine, he is not hassle at all. I have learnt so much from him in such a short space of time."
"And he is handsome." Lilith grinned.
"I do try to make myself presentable." Caym smirked. "Now. Back to Michael...This world Michael God wants you to find him?"
"Yes."
"Why can't God do it? He must know where his son is?"
"God is a lazy bastard. He rarely moves his ass. You know he sends his creations out to do his dirty work."
"Why you?" Caym shakes his head. "I don't think Michael will be keen to see a demon. No offense mistress but Michael has been in the cage I think he will want to get away from Hell away from us. Last person he would want to see is you."
"Because God has no one else." Lilith throws her hands up in the air. "I'm all that He has got." She sighs. "He wants to talk to Michael. God can't risk being seen in public. So he expects me to bring Michael to him. I just know it is not going to work. Michael is not going to believe his Father sent a demon out to get him."
" What about an angel? "
"They are all hiding behind the Golden Gates." She scoffed.
Lilith slips on her clothes and brushes her hair. She then applies her lipstick and mascara. Caym turns the other way giving the demoness her privacy. Lilith puts her bag over her shoulder and notices her companion. Caym's eyebrows are furrowed and he looked deep in thought. She goes in front of him and looks up at him with a curious expression.
"What you thinking?"
"God made many versions of us." He answers. "We have all been on a similar path."
She rolls her eyes.
"Don't remind me."
"Michael was created as a soldier. His mind is no different to his counterpart. Every version of Michael had the same thoughts regarding the Big Man. They were all too blind to see His true colors. When the other Michael found out the truth he snapped. His mind..." He makes a snap sound. "...broke just like that. The truth made him crazy. He was consumed by revenge. He wanted to kill God. Michael is so strong and fearless on the outside, the inside he is so fragile and vulnerable. Lucifer is sensitive but Michael..." He looks out of the window. "Both brothers just wanted to be loved."
"Oh boo hoo." Lilith folds her arms. "We can't have everything. I wanna be Queen. God shut that door on me. I'm not going on a rampage. I'm...dealing with it."
"Uh huh." Caym said with disbelief. He turns round to face her. "You can be Queen and God can be killed."
"Put faith in the Winchesters. I know you told me."
"We have a weapon."
Lilith frowns.
"We do?"
"Yes."
"Tell me. Spit it out." She glared.
"At the moment he is not available. We need to bring him back."
Lilith's furrowed her eyebrows. Then her eyes widen.
"No, we're not bringing Michael back."
"No. We create him. To do that we need our Michael to break." He steps forward and looks down at Lilith and grins. "We need to show him the truth." Lilith stares at him for a few moments. She then bursts out laughing. Caym became annoyed. "It is not funny."
"You're right it's not. It's fucking hilarious." The demoness laughs. "I tell him God is the villain, he will probably smite me right on the spot. Michael hates it when we insult Him. Caym darling I thought you were smarter than that."
"You didn't let me finish." Caym's stern look causes Lilith to shut up. "I never said tell I said SHOW him. The memories it will be too much for his mind to process. The truth will be so overwhelming he will break down. Then with a bit of persuasion, we could bring out his dark side, create a whole new purpose for him. Once we put the pieces back together he will be a whole new archangel...or should I say reincarnation. It would be very much like bringing the other world Michael back from the dead."
"So you believe both Michaels are the same. When Michael finds out the truth he will turn into Mike. I'm calling the other Michael Mike it's easier."
"That's the plan." Caym nodded.
"What happens when Mike goes..."
She does a loopy gesture. Caym smiles.
"Michael is a weapon. A very powerful weapon. We have to make sure he doesn't fall in the wrong hands. We have to make sure God doesn't get to him first. If he does then we're screwed. So the plan is you are going to go and meet Michael and play your part that way God will not be suspicious. If Michael doesn't want to see his Father don't force him. Just leave."
"What is the point of that?"
"Not finished yet. Now your meeting with Michael will go round like wildfire. Everyone is going to find out including the Winchesters. They will fear Michael is working with his Father. Michael is going to be the Winchesters next target. They will want to find him. When they do find him and capture him, that's where the memories come in. He will see everything from the Winchesters. Them and the angel are the perfect source of information."
"What makes you think Michael is going to see what happened."
"Michael likes to see concrete evidence. If he will want to see for himself that the 'rumors' about God are true. Castiel is an angel, Michael is an archangel they are bound to have a movie night going through the Winchesters greatest hits. Michael has missed a lot of time he needs to catch up one way or another."
"I don't like it. What if Michael sides with the Winchesters."
"That's exactly what we want. I told you the Winchesters will stop God. When Mike is activated. An archangel driven by revenge working alongside the infamous brothers, it will be a battle of a lifetime. They will be so focused on God they wouldn't even think about you. Once God is defeated the control he has over us all will be gone and you will be..."
"Queen." Lilith taps her chin and smiles. "Okay I see where you are coming from. Luck is on Sam and Dean's side. With Michael and other possible allies they could defeat God. Question, what happens to Michael? He could become a threat or go crazy."
"Not if someone is controlling him."
"You say we take him?"
His lips form into smirk.
"Every Queen needs a powerful weapon. Michael was programmed to serve God, when he becomes Mike he will want to kill God. The other Michael did want to kill the Winchesters. With a few little tweaks to his broken mind, our Michael can do what the other one couldn't."
"The Winchesters will be killed, Castiel, Rowena, Ketch. " Lilith squeals and jumps up and down with excitement. "I would be a God. I would be controlling his greatest soldier. I can take over Hell I can take over the world. AHHH I love it." She wraps her arms around the demon. "Thank you. Thank you so much." Caym chuckles and hugs her back. The demoness then pulls away. "I better find him." She beamed at him "Wish me luck!"
She then vanishes.
The hope. Oh that hope. He laughs . That was too easy. She has no idea what's coming. She's in for a surprise.
Half of Caym's plan is true. The Winchesters will want to hunt Michael down, they will prove to the archangel God is bad, Michael's mind will break. Caym doesn't want Michael to become full Mike no no last thing they need is a monster crazed archangel. They just need Michael to embrace his revenge, to have the strength to take his Father down.
With a bit of Winchester magic Michael will be on the right track.
That's how the perfect weapon will be created.
Caym really did not like the Winchesters that much but there is one thing he knows and that is the Winchesters are good at swaying people to their side. You only got to look Meg, Crowley and Rowena. They have all softened as they spent their time with the brothers.
In Michael's most vulnerable state he should be easy to convince. Once he has a new purpose the General of Heaven should be back in action in no time.
Caym really hoped the Winchesters get to Michael first. If the 'weapon' falls into the wrong hands everyone will be in trouble.
With Lilith's alliance with God that would make her a target. Not only God is in trouble Lilith is screwed.
Caym would happily watch the bitch suffer.
Arthur Ketch.
Caym will get to him when the time is right.
While Lilith plays her part Caym needed some time to kill. So the demon travels back to Hell.
He smiles as he hears the souls cries and screams. It was like music to his ears. His smirk grew when he heard the newest soul Lee Webb. Boy did Caym have some fun with him. The hunter deserved what he got. He did after all commit one of the worst sins.
"I see you are liking your VIP treatment Mr Webb." Caym grinned as he heard Lee's scream.
The demon goes outside the door. Then the door slowly opens on its own. As Caym steps in he is immediately greeted with the smell of fire. In the room there is blood, guts and various body parts all scattered around on the ground.
Caym scans the rack searching for the hunter. He paused when he found Lee. The hunter is a mess. There are slashes across his body and burns all over his face.
Octavia grabs a hammer from the tray and smirks at the soul. She then swings the hammer and hits Lee in the leg. There is a crack followed by a wail. The hunter cried out in agony. Before he could process what happened Octavia hits the other leg causing his cry to turn into a high-pitched scream.
Octavia looks at her work with pride. Even Caym had to admit he is impressed. He then approaches the demon with his head held high. He clears his throat to get her attention.
Octavia turns round. She raises her eyebrow in surprise.
"Caym."
"Octavia. I'll take it from here."
Octavia frowns. She wasn't too happy that she was interrupted in the middle of a session. She especially didn't like another demon wanting to take her place during a session. Caym noticed her annoyed expression. He huffs a laugh and shakes his head.
"Oh come on." He continued "You deserve a break. Rest. I insist."
Octavia sighs knowing there is no point arguing with him. She hands over her hammer and leaves.
Lee's eyes widen when he sees his new torturer.
"You!"
Caym flips the hammer and smirks.
"Hello hunter. Enjoying your stay?"
Caym walks up to the soul. Lee glares at him.
"You stay the fuck away from me you bastard."
"Now now now. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior under my roof. Be grateful you got a pass on the line and went straight to our luxury accommodations. How do you like your stay so far? I'm guessing from your constant screaming you are having a Hell of a ride. What would your rating be? Five stars?"
"Fuck you!"
Caym puts the hammer down.
"My colleague Octavia. She's good but not that good. If you are looking for a torturer who has personality, creativity, skill." He smiles. "You are looking at him right now."
He leans towards the soul.
"So...Lee."
Lee's eyes bug out as sees his former friend Dean Winchester standing in front of him.
"No." Lee shakes his head. "You're not him."
"Lee? Buddy? old pal?" Dean smiles he looked happy to see the hunter. Lee is shaking with rage. His reaction causes Dean to frown. "What's up Lee?"
"YOUR ARE NOT HIM!" Lee screamed.
"No. I'm not." ' Dean' cocked his head. "You know why? Because Dean is alive and you...you are..." His finger goes down. "...down here with us."
Fake Dean laughs. He laughs like it is the most funniest thing in the world. Lee wasn't laughing. Lee is furious.
"Listen here you son of a bitch. I ain't afraid of you. Why don't you stop and leave me alone!"
"You left me alone with that monster." His victim Angela sobbed. "You left me alone to DIE!"
"And me." Another victim added.
"And me."
"And me."
"And me."
"AND ME!"
Every victim flashed across Lee's eyes. It eventually got faster and louder. It became so horrifying the hunter couldn't take it anymore.
"STOP MAKE IT STOP! " He begged.
"They wanted it to stop. "
Lee opens his eyes and sees the older Winchester is back. Fake Dean raises his arms. His green eyes darken.
"You ignored them. You let them suffer you let them die. All because you wanted riches and wealth. You were even going to let your best friend die."
"I had no choice..."
Lee gasps as he suddenly finds himself attached to various tubes and wires. He looks round and realizes he is in the basement.
That means...
A growl rumbles from the cell. Lee paled at the sight.
Oh crap.
He pulls at the restrains. The restrains wouldn't budge.
"DAMM IT!" He cursed.
A low chuckle causes Lee to pause. He looks to his left and sees his former friend standing on the stairs.
"I know this isn't real." Lee growled. 'Dean' gives an innocent smile. The reaction infuriated the hunter. . "Dean already killed me asshole."
Lee watched the demon wearing his former friend's face lean over the railing. His innocent smile turns cold and sinister.
"I always wanted to posses a Winchester." He then sighs. "The risk is too great."
Lee jumps when the demon appears in front of him.
"You know what I like about Hell." He smirked. "I can be whoever I want I can create anything I like. You want an extremely pissed off and hungry Marid?" He grins. "You got it!"
He points at the cell. The Marid roars and slams into the door. The room shakes and cracks form up the walls.
"I was in this very position." Lee sees Angela standing next to him. He saw fear in her eyes. "The monster drained me." She cried. "I couldn't do a thing to stop it!"
Lee wanted to tell her to shut up. The hunter felt confused and disoriented. The constant changes in the demon was screwing with Lee's head. He couldn't tell what is real anymore.
Within a blink Angela changed. Her skin is ghostly pale and her eyes are hollow. She takes her final shaky breath and falls on the ground. When she hit the ground her body turned into dust. Lee coughs and gags as the smell of death hits him. Tears form in his eyes and his body trembled.
"I'm sorry." He said his voice hoarse. "I'm sorry." He lets the tears fall. "Please make it stop. Put me through the pain and torture on the racks but please not this."
The demon places his hand on Lee's shoulder. Lee sighs with relief when he sees the demon is back in his original form.
"Sorry is not going to change anything." Caym shakes his head. "What's done is done."
"Dean got out."
"You are no Dean Winchester. You are not special. You are not worth saving. You are here for good." Another roar comes from the cell. "He's hungry." Caym noticed. "He needs blood." He looks down at the soul and grins. "Good job we got an ever lasting blood bag here that should keep the Marid going for well...forever."
"No. No. No. YOU CAN'T DO THIS!"
"Oh." Caym paused at the door. "But I just did." He waves. "Enjoy hunter."
The demon snaps his fingers and goes through the door.
The last thing Caym heard is Lee's screams before the door slams shut.
I said this before. Do check out vrskaandrea Be Careful what you wish for. It is linked to that story. Caym and Lee have already interacted before. You could say this chapter is like a part 2 to vrskaandrea's story.
Next chapter coming soon.
