Now, here is the new chapter, enjoy! ;)
Sam and Eve climbed out of the Impala, right out of the shop Sam said him and Dean went to last week when Dean accidentally read a spell cursing himself, leaving now Eve and Sam to handle it. And that made Sam worry even more, not only that his older brother was under a spell that they had no idea how to reverse or cure, but he also had to deal with Eve and her snappy self, knowing the way she was used to handle things usually calling the shots, end up being in a huge mess because of her temper. And seeing how nervous she was at the moment made him remember the previous times she acted the same, the first time with the vampires, the time when she knocked him and Dean out and went to meet with the man who wants her dead, and the time when she wanted to sacrifice herself to save them, not to mention when she ran into Lilitu's arms leaving Sam and Dean in a hell for a waiting not knowing what might have happened to her.
And with all these thoughts lurking in Sam's mind, he walked next to Eve glancing down at her walking next to him with a blank look on her face, unable to figure out what she was planning on to do.
"I'm driving on our way back." She informed him as he saw that little smirk on the corner of her mouth.
"I'm driving on our way back? Really?" Sam exclaimed with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah," She said simply and stopped in her track. "I only let you drive 'cause I didn't know the way, but now I know the way back, so I'm the one who will drive us home, you need to rest." She told him with a small smile patting lightly on his shoulder.
Sam looked carefully at her, trying to read any emotion that was coming out of her but he just couldn't, seeing how she was calm, not like she was back at the house.
"Why are you so calm?" He asked making her rise any eyebrow. "I mean seeing you back at Bobby, and now…,"
"Well, lets just say I'm getting ready," Eve said calmly. "When we get inside, you'll see some serious rock and roll as you requested." She said, her tone of voice getting a little deeper, sounding like she growled the last sentence.
"Eve," Sam huffed reaching for her arm pulling her softly closer to him that she would look him straight in the eye.
"I'm not really in the mood for a lecture Sam." Eve huffed, breaking eye contact with him.
"I'm not going to lecture you," Sam told her. "Just let me handle things inside, alright?" He asked her softly. But Eve glared at him with a bitter smile curling on her lips.
"Not because you don't trust me, means I can't do it, Sammy." She said coldly. "I can take care of this, and I won't get us damn killed."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sam snapped. "I trust you, alright?"
"Don't get your panties in a twist Sam." Eve mocked him. "I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry, I meant that I read your mind, sorry again, but," She paused seeing the angry look on Sam's face. "I had to, I needed to know what you were planning, and yes I don't like it, talking this bitch out of it, won't work."
"First off, do not read my mind again." Sam said firmly. "Secondly, I do trust you, I just don't like the way you tend to do things, walking inside guns blazing, that," he paused shaking his head, seeing the smirk she gave, Sam waited for Eve to talk, but she was silent for a minute staring at him.
"Fine," she sighed rolling her eyes. "But I've a deal for you, you go first talking all touchy feely, and see what will happen," Eve told him and held a finger in his face. "But," She pointed out. "When this fails, I come in, guns blazing." She said with a smirk waiting for him to talk.
"Deal!" Sam said shaking his head.
"Its always fun working with you Sam." Eve said sarcastically as she walked past Sam.
Watched her walking in front of him, Sam sighed shaking his head before walking after her into the shop.
...
Walking into the dark store, Sam reached for Eve's hands holding it nodding to her to stay next to him. She nodded back leaning against the wall next to the door.
"It smells weird." She said with a frown as she wiped her nose.
But before Sam could answer, they heard a woman's voice coming from inside the store. "We are closed now, you may come back tomorrow." She said firmly.
"Oh sweetheart, we aren't here to buy." Eve said, talking before Sam making him glare at her, she shrugged.
"I'm Sam, Bobby sent me; I came here earlier with my brother, last week." Sam shouted in order to make the woman hear him while she was inside. A moment after they saw a shadow walking out of the small room out to the store.
"I don't care, I said we are closed." The woman said firmly crossing her arms against her chest glaring at Sam and Eve.
"You don't understand." Sam said impatiently. "When I was here with my brother last week, he read this thing, it was some kind of a spell and he is sick now,"
"He read it, on his own free will; I didn't shove it in his face and asked him to read it." The woman said coldly cutting Sam off.
"Actually you did, putting a spell in the middle of the store, that's not so clever for someone who doesn't want people to read it." Eve said leaning off the wall standing right next to Sam.
"It's a hoodoo store honey, you need to be careful." The woman said smugly. "Listen, I have nothing to do with this, so why don't you just leave and let me close?" She said waving them off.
Eve looked at Sam giving him 'You had your chance, now its mine' look. Turning back to the woman, Eve just smiled walking towards her.
"What is your name ma'am?" Eve asked her nicely. The woman gave her a sarcastic smirk.
"Why? You gonna make me a new ID?" She mocked smugly. Eve's smile widened.
"No, but I'll put it on my list," Eve paused as her smile faded, turning into an angry look. "The list of people I killed." She told the woman, and within seconds, the woman was sent flying across the store crashing into one of the drawers falling to the ground, but she didn't have a chance to breathe, as Eve waved a little wave forcing the woman to get up on her feet, pinning her to the wall behind her.
"So, you said what your name is?" Eve asked her calmly as she walked to stand right in front of her.
"As..," She stuttered not being able to breathe. Eve glared at her waiting for an answer. "Asya, my name is Asya." The woman said.
"Great," Eve smiled. "Listen bitch, you will tell me everything you know about this spell, or I will blow your body, in small pieces that won't feed an ant. So, better talk, and fast." She said coldly.
"Eve," Sam called her, as she felt his hand on her shoulder, giving her his famous puppy eyes.
"Fine." She growled backing off, letting Sam talk to the woman instead.
"Look, we don't want to hurt you," Sam said softly looking at the woman who was looking at him with pure hatred.
"Don't you think that we are passed such talk," She said moaning in pain. "Your whore there,"
"Watch it bitch!" Eve said waving with her hand softly pinning the woman harder into the wall making her scream in pain. "I mean Asya." She said looking at Sam. "Hurry." She demanded softly.
"You gonna talk now?" Sam asked. "You really don't want her to kill you, she will do it, you hurt my brother, and her boyfriend. I walked here planning on keeping you alive, but," he said shrugging, making the woman's eyes to widen looking at him in panic.
"Convincing." Eve told Sam with a smirk, putting her hands on her hips. "And yes, I'd be glad to hurt you, bitch." She said glaring at the woman.
"Fine, fine, damn it." The woman said. "I don't know much about this curse,"
"Don't lie; I swear I will rip your head off." Eve cut her off threatening.
"No, I'm not lying, I swear." She said panicking. "I found it in a book, and I knew once I laid my eyes on it what to do with it, it has a life of its own, the tendency to spread itself, it made me its slave, painting it and putting it in the middle of the store for people to read it. And believe me, once you see it, it will make you read it, just like what happened with your boyfriend." She admitted looking at Eve. "I told you everything, now let me go." She demanded angrily.
"What? Already, I was just starting to have fun." Eve mocked with a smirk. "You didn't tell us all yet sweetheart, how to reverse it?"
"I don't know!" Asya snapped. Eve rolled her eyes as she heard the woman scream, she pushed her harder into the wall.
"I don't have enough time for your shit lady. Talk or die, I won't say it again." Eve told her firmly.
"I don't know, it's the truth, I just found it and it made me spread it, I have no idea how to cure it, all I know that it takes seven days to start, and then the person who reads it gets sick and die after seven hours starting the moment they got sick. Fever, and they cough their lungs out, and choke with their blood. That's what it says, that's all I know, I swear." She told Eve.
"What do you think?" Eve asked turning around to look at Sam.
"I think she is telling the truth." Sam told Eve softly, looking up at the witch. "You're telling the truth, right?" he asked glaring at her.
She nodded weakly, "I am, let me go, I have told you everything I know." She demanded.
"You know if we found out that you're lying to us, we will come back, and we are hunters, you're gonna be six feet under in a minute." Eve told her, "You know, if there were enough body parts to bury after I'm done with you." She added threatening.
The witch looked her swallowing hard. "I think killing me is the last thing you need to think about now, saving your friend is. He doesn't have much time, you better hurry." Asya told her with a hint of an evil smirk on her face.
Eve glared at her waving with her hands down, bringing the witch to the floor, when she got on her feet standing up.
"You're right; you're the last thing that should be in my mind now." Eve told her walking towards her, stopping inches from her. Glaring at each other, Eve suddenly slapped the woman across the face, making her fell on the floor. "Thank you." She said turning around on her way to the door. "I'll come back for you soon bitch, if anything went wrong, you're number one on my hit list." She said without turning around still walking towards the door.
Sam waited for a minute searching the store with his eyes till he saw the paper the spell was written on, walking to grab it, he glared one last time at the witch before he walked out of the store.
...
"I got the spell as Cas asked." Sam informed once he got out of the store seeing Eve leaning against the Impala.
"Shit, I forgot about it. Thanks." She sighed.
"Yeah, you were too busy trying to kill the witch." Sam said sarcastically making Eve glare at him.
"Hey, you saw she wasn't planning to talk, thinking she is tough, that was the only way she was going to talk, plus she is a witch, we kill these bitches, they are worse than punk ass monsters. They are a lame excuse for a human being." She snapped.
"Easy," Sam said waving with his hands as he meant nothing by saying that. "You were right; she got her chance and she wasted it. The guns blazing were the right way." He said with a tiny smile.
Eve smiled back at him. "Well, we didn't make an entrance, we just walked in normally, guns blazing means I walk in after blowing off the store doors, while my hair looking like a super model on a mag. Dude, that's an entrance." She teased.
"Right Wonderwoman," He teased back. "Let's go now, we don't have much time." Sam said with a sad smile as Eve nodded walking to the driver's seat.
"Keys." She asked stretching her hand waiting for Sam to toss her the car's keys. He huffed rolling his eyes at her before pulling out the keys from his jacket's pocket tossing them to her.
"Now, let's go." She said getting into the car as Sam followed getting into the car.
Eve started the engine pulling out of the parking lot. "Okay, have to admit, this car is a babe, and I don't even like cars." Eve said with a smile making Sam smile back at her, she reached for the radio turning it on.
"First time a rock song isn't blaring out of this thing." Sam giggled amused, Eve smirked.
"Dean would kill us if he knew this was playing in his car." She said listening to the song for a while. "Who the hell is this? Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard." Eve mocked making Sam laugh.
"It's Katy Perry. And I don't think Dean will be so mad if he knew she was playing in the Impala." Sam said with a laugh. She raised an eyebrow at him. "He thinks she is,"
"I got it Sam, I don't even know who that is but I already hate her. Thanks." She pouted making Sam chuckle.
"We can turn it off if you want." He said. She shook her head turning the volume up.
"Bad voice but I like it." Eve said with a cheeky smile. "Fireworks and all." She sighed, as they drove in silence for a while, no sounds but the rear of the Impala and the songs that came out of the radio.
But suddenly Eve reached for the radio turning it off. "I can't take it anymore," She snapped glancing up at Sam. "I'm freaking out, and Arial doesn't answer me, I'm praying for him, even before I called you and Bobby, and after and during, I kept screaming for him to show up, and he has a freaking bond with me that I don't even need to call him out loud, but he is not answering." Eve shouted. "He never did that, like never and now we need all the help we can get."
"Eve, calm down please." Sam said softly. "Maybe he is already looking for something, maybe Cas told have him, you know." He told her trying to make her feel better, that she would calm down.
"No," She said firmly. "I know he is not with Cas, he is blocking me, I can't see where he is, or what he is doing, he taught me this in case he can't get to me, so why block me then? Something must be wrong." Eve sighed. "I only hope that nothing bad has happened to him. Or worse, that he is somewhere doing something stupid that probably will get us all killed." She muttered to herself as she sped down the road.
...
"Is there is something else you wish to share with us Lilitu? Or you're finally going to leave?" Arial asked with a sarcastic smirk on his face. Lilitu glanced up at him with a smile on her face.
"You've changed your looks, but," she smirked, and in a glimpse she was standing in front of him. "You're still the same." She told Arial who looked confused.
..
Lilitu patted on Arial's chest, he didn't say a word looking obviously confused.
Chapter 45, Bring Me to Life.
...
On the other side of the world, Arial stood in the fading dark of dawn, on the highest point of a mountain, while he was chanting in an old language that no one spoke or heard for over a thousand year. It was cold, snow was the only thing to see for miles, when the cold weather and the lack of air would have killed any human, but thankfully Arial wasn't one. And he was determined to know, to do this, that even if there was a chance for him to die, he was not going to back off. It had been only hours since he left Bobby's house right after Lilitu was gone, hearing the things she said, feeling her touch on his skin, he started to see random flashes of events in his brain, he didn't know if they were his, or what was happening to him. He thought at first, when he got the first flash to tell Castiel about it, and see what the older angel had to say, but a second flash made him change his mind, when he saw Castiel in it. Arial knew that for now, he needed to keep it to himself, and summon the demon who was responsible for this, one touch from her made him see things, imagining things, he wasn't sure if they were even real, it was impossible they were real, he wasn't even around at the time, but yet again, it was hard to fake such memories. He knew he didn't have much time, he could hear Eve's calls, and he knew that she was in a facing a serious problem, but he couldn't turn around and simply fly back to help her, he had to know, he had to know the truth, the truth about him and Lilitu. And there was only one way to bring her, and fast.
Five seconds after Arial was done with his chants, he saw her; she walked out of the nothing, appearing right in front of him with a smile on her beautiful cold face.
"I knew you'd call me, but I didn't know it was going to happen that fast." She said with the same smile on her face, her tone revealing nothing, it was even, unemotional plain tone. "You know I'm busy, you can't just summon me like that. I have a baby to fucking take care of, an annoying son of a bitch who asks for things your little angel mind won't understand or even imagine." She told him, sounding annoyed.
"It had to be now." Arial told her coldly. Lilitu smirked at him raising an eyebrow.
"Really? It had to be now." She said sarcastically mocking him. "And here, Palestine? Or that was a must too?" She asked with the same tone.
"Isn't it the last place we met?" He answered her softly.
"If I recall," She wondered taking a moment to think as she walked to him, being only few steps away. "It was Egypt, not here." She said looking into his eyes.
"No, it was here. Egypt was a whole different story." He said taking a step closer. "You know I'm right, after all, you are the one who planted those memories in my mind." Arial told her firmly, somehow sarcastic. He saw the smile that spread on her lips.
"So it worked." She said victoriously. "I thought you wouldn't remember, I didn't know my magic will over power the angels', but," She shrugged. "I'm getting better." She said closing the gap between them as she leant up pressing a kiss to Arial's lips. And shockingly, Arial kissed Lilitu back, the kiss was far from being passionate, it was a rough eager kiss, and even she was shocked he would kiss her back, Lilitu didn't back off when he did, but she kissed him harder.
"I can't do this." Arial said breaking the kiss. Lilitu glared at him for a second before she backed away standing again in front of him. "You made me do this." He snapped at her.
"You and I know that no one can make you do anything Arial, you always did what you wanted." Lilitu told him calmly. "So, you going to spend the whole time staring at me, or you are going to ask the question that is killing you?" She asked him and waited for him to talk but he didn't, she rolled her eyes at him. "They are real; I didn't make those memories up Ari." She told him as she started to walk, circling him.
"They can't be. You, and," He started, sounding and looking obviously confused. But she cut him off.
"You and me, yes." She whispered in his ear standing now behind him, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "And yes, when I touched you back when I came to see the bitch that was when I planted those memories in your sweet little mind."
"If they are real, why I can't remember them? Why I didn't remember them?" He asked her turning around fast that he was facing her, holding her tight in his arms, seeing the smirk on her face.
"Because they didn't want you to remember." Lilitu told him simply.
"Who?" Arial asked her, tightening his grip around her.
"Deep down, you know who." She said coldly. "Any further questions, Ari?" She said pushing him hard releasing herself from his grip. "Told you, I'm getting better."
"Why? Why they would," Arial started but he was cut off hearing Eve's voice in his mind.
"Fucking Arial, you better answer me this time." She said in his mind. "I don't know where the hell you're, but I need you now."
"What's wrong? Your little whore is calling!" Lilitu mocked with a cruel smile on her face. Arial looked up at her and with a small hand wave, she was flying in the air, hitting a big tree that was there, she hit it hard that the tree cracked falling to the ground.
"You better watch you tongue." He said firmly.
"Or what?" Lilitu dared as she stood up from the ground, her laughs blaring with an echo across empty mountain.
Arial was about to answer her but he got distracted by Eve's voice in his mind again. "Arial, please. At least give me a sign you're not dead yet, answer me, please." He heard her voice plead, she sounded worried and tired, he knew she needed him, but he wasn't sure of what he was supposed to do now, answer his call of duty and go back to Eve, or stay there and try to pull the truth out of Lilitu.
But Lilitu who was now mad at him, was faster. She got advantage of him being distracted when she made the tree fly and hit him, making him fall to the ground, and before he could move she made the big tree fell on him, literally, sending him under the ground.
"That's just the foreplay, Ari." She shouted sounding furious. "And you know what? Go fuck yourself, I'm not saying another word, you figure out the truth on your own." She said pressing the tree harder to the ground with her invisible powers, hearing Arial's growls.
But a few seconds later the tree was blown up into small pieces, when Arial came out from under the ground, and even though he was an angel, he looked tired, Lilitu was powerful and for taking her it needed a lot of power.
"You know you can't kill me. Even if you wanted, you couldn't do it before." She told him. "But remember, you've ruined your only chance to know who you really are, and what happened to you. Remember that when you run to rescue your little slut." She said turning around about to walk away from him. But then she turned back glaring again at Arial. "By the way, and if you want to stay alive, you better keep everything I said between us." She told him seriously before she walked away.
"You can not do this; you can not give me half the truth." He yelled after her.
"Oh, this is not even near the half Ari." She said coldly without turning around. "There is a lot you don't know, but you have missed your chance." Lilitu said, not giving Arial another chance to talk, she vanished into thin air leaving him standing there alone, a beaten, confused angel with a memory loss and mysterious past.
*This is some kind of a footnote, or a notebook.
-So, basically I'm trying here to drag Eve to darkness, a little more every time, with her powers and the new attitude, and it will get darker.
-As for the Arial part and Arial/Lilitu thing, well, I'm planning on an Arial whole chapter soon with a subplot, so I thought it would be better to start working on that part of the story, and more on that soon, since the conversation between him and Lilitu was a little vague, but all that will come into the light soon ;)
Its me again :D I hope you liked the chapter, with the little twist in it. And of course, I'd love to hear what you think of it, reviews are love, so show me some, and make me happy, and promise the new chapter will come sooner ;) Please review..
