Here's the next update, but I'm afraid there's another mean and nasty cliffhanger at the end of it ... muahaha! :D
CHAPTER SIX
Of course, it still being daytime, neither Alastair nor Ruby nor his followers were actually at the graveyard, with no telling of where they were as of this minute. The frustration was running high between us all, most notably and understandably in Sam himself, because of Ruby. I could not help but feel sympathy for the taller Winchester - if in his position with Castiel instead of Ruby captured, I would be moving Heaven and Earth to get him back. I'd already done it once, and would do it again at the drop of a hat.
There was no evidence of anything having happened in the vicinity of the graveyard - apart from the EMF meter that Dean had in his pocket going wild - especially when we drew near to a particularly large mausoleum. The name on the door read Abraham Denali. None of us were familiar with the name, but Sam offered to Google it, because it obviously had some significance to what Alastair was trying to do.
As soon as we left the graveyard, we went to the local diner across the road at the insistence of Dean's stomach, before we ordered and Sam started to Google, like the research bunny he was on his laptop.
It took him merely a few seconds before he found the information he was looking for. It seemed as though Abraham Denali was an imminent dabbler in the occult and a very powerful Satanist. It seemed as though he had strong connections with Lillith, and with Lucifer himself, before he died, some years ago. It seemed as though he was integral to this case, but we still did not know why. We didn't even know why Ruby was needed by Alastair. None of it seemed to have rhyme nor reason.
After we had been served, eaten and paid, we had nothing to do but sit and wait, in Dean's Impala. The wait was long and boring, and Dean even fell asleep where he sat out of sheer boredom.
I watched him for a while, before I too, fell asleep, falling into a dream that I could only guess at the half of it. It was messy, I remembered that - things that didn't entirely make sense assailing all my senses - light surrounding me, wings, feathers touching my face, people supplicating at my feet, and the final image of a flaming sword held in both hands before me, before I was finally shaken to full wakefulness by Sam, beside me. I looked back at Dean, but he was still fast asleep, in the back. I returned my gaze to Sam, who looked troubled.
"Sam, what's wrong?" I yawned. "Why did you wake me?"
"When did you learn Aramaic, Jenna?" he asked, sounding as disturbed as he looked right then.
"Ara-what, Sam?" I asked, cocking my head at him in confusion. "I don't think I've tried that."
"Don't get smart. It's an ancient language - the angels knew it," Sam said, quietly, looking at me with something I couldn't determine.
"Angels ... " I said, slowly, thinking back over my dream. "I was dreaming of angels, Sam ... maybe I was seeing through Castiel's eyes ..."
"And speaking his language flawlessly?" Sam asked, as though he didn't believe that it was possible.
I merely shrugged at him, because I did not have a ready answer for him.
In the back, Dean finally stirred, before he muttered - "I'm not drunk, I'm resting!"
I looked at the older Winchester, before turning to his brother, and laughing.
"And what's that language, Sam?" I asked. "Dean-amaic?"
"Har de har de har, Jenna!" Sam said, but at least he was laughing, dimples flashing tin the light.
"Laugh it up, chuckles, I'm going to the bathroom! Be back soon!" I said, before leaving the car to head for the diner.
The dream I'd had never left my mind, and still I could make no sense of it. I only wished I could remember more of it, and why had I spoken a language that I did not previously know? It made no sense.
Little did I know then, that I would get answers sooner than I expected, and what answers they proved to be ...
