Assassins and Hunters
The streets of London were dark and rainy. Obsidian Blackfire looked out the window of the small apartment that he, Sapphire Phoenix and Aura were staying at. It was one of the unofficial safe houses Skulduggery had in case of emergencies. He kept them unofficial to stop them been recorded by the Sanctuary. Obsidian had always wondered why. But not any more.
Sapphire had been yelling at him for about an hour about him and Aura. He only heard bits of it because he seemed to zone in and out of the one-sided conversation.
"What if mom found out?"
"Are you insane?"
"This is like what mom said about Caelan"
"What if she turned on you?"
Obsidian had enough, he knew that they had more important things to worry about
"Sapphire" he said standing up "with respect. Shut. Up!"
Sapphire looked at her adoptive brother in horror "What. Did. You. Say!"
"Sapphire, we're not gonna save the whole damn world by yelling at each other. So let's save the damn world. Then we can have the heated argument"
Aura then stood up by Obsidian "I agree with Obsidian"
Sapphire turned to the hybrid "you shut your damn mouth"
Before fists could start being thrown there was a knock on the door. All three turned to the door. Aura quickly went to the door and looked through the hole. There were two males around there age. One with blonde hair. One with crimson red.
"I know you're in there" the Crimson haired one said "i can smell you"
"we were sent by a friend" said the blonde one
Aura turned to the others "I looked into their minds. The Crimson haired one is a wolfblood, distant cousin of the werewolf, and the blonde one is with something called The Hidden Blades"
"Let them in" said Sapphire
Aura opened the door and the two males walked in.
"Good afternoon" said the blonde one "I'm Blake Knight" he then turned to see Sapphire "our moms are friends"
"You're Tanith's kid" said Obsidian
Blake turned to Obsidian "and you're Darquesse's"
Obsidian looked at the boy confused.
"Mom told me, she thought I might need to know" Blake then turned to the wolfblood "this is Fenrir Covaci"
"Please to meet you all" Fenrir said
"Wait" said Sapphire "your mother isn't Jana Covaci? The one responsible for magics big reveal?"
"Umm, yeah"
Sapphire dropped a scowling look at the wolfblood. Which Obsidian broke when he spoke "so why are you guys here?"
"Mom got a call from Valkyrie, she said that Roarhaven has fallen to Department X" said Blake "is that true?"
"Fraid so" said Sapphire
"Man, I always thought they were a bedtime story, but they're real, that's pretty terrifying. Anyway so Valkyrie told Mom that she sent you here so Mom sent us here to pick you up. She knew this was Skulduggery's only London safe house"
"And why should we go with you?" Asked Sapphire
"Man you were right, Obsidian" said Aura chuckling "she is moody"
"What?!
"Later" said Obsidian
"Tanith's brought some people she thinks can help us and she want you to help as well" said Fenrir "I think she's brought in a few hunters and I think an Angel is with them"
Aura quickly looked up at the wolfblood "this Angel, you know his name?"
"I'm sorry" said Fenrir "i don't, but the hunters were calling him Cas, if that helps"
"It does" Aura looked a Obsidian smiling "I've found my father"
Hidden Blade HQ
Dean had been sitting in the meeting room all morning. Even though he was 56, and Sam was 52 and their age hasn't slowed them down one bit. But still. He's been up for hours, this Tanith Low had better have a good reason for delaying the meeting.
Sam turned to face him.
"Any idea why we're waiting?" Said Sam
"Not sure" said Dean "maybe there's more people that Tanith's bring in"
"Who else could she be bringing in?" said Castiel
At that moment Tanith Low walked in putting a phone back into her pocket.
"Well great news, my best agent..."
"You mean your son?" said Castiel
"Yes, my son. And our young guest..."
"The wolfblood?" Said Dean
"Yes, the wolfblood. Well they've recovered some valued personal"
"And these are?" Said Sam
"The demigod son of Darquesse, my goddaughter. And unknown third party. Apparently she's asking questions about Castiel"
"Why?" Ask Castiel
"Not sure, we'll find out"
Some time later
Obsidian Blackfire, Aura, Sapphire Phoenix, Blake Knight and Fenrir Covaci all walked through the dimly light corridors of the Hidden Blades HQ. Fenrir looked over to Aura, she seemed nervous. Blake had determined that it was best to tell Castiel about her parentage when they met face to face. Fenrir then looked down to her hands to see that her left was intertwined with Obsidian's right. Fenrir then looked up the Sapphire, she had been scowling the whole time. At Aura, at himself. Fenrir wondered if she was ever happy.
"The meeting room is just through here" said Blake
Obsidian turned to Aura "ready to meet him?"
"Not really" said Aura, shaking "but I have to"
Sapphire rolled her eyes, Fenrir chuckled
The five young heroes stepped into the room to see Tanith, Castiel, Dean and Sam looking up at them. The five then slowly moved to seats and sat down. Castiel seemed to be eyeing each of them to find the one that was interested in him. He noticed the girl with blonde hair, cut short like a boys hair. She was looking at him, almost like she was looking right at his true self, he tried to see her true form but she seemed to be blocking him. His focus was broken when Tanith spoke.
"Well then" she said "now where all here" she turned to Obsidian and Sapphire, both of which were looking at her in aw "Obsidian, Sapphire. It's good to finally meet you. Valkyrie speaks highly of both of you"
"That's great" said Sapphire "but we have a problem"
"The people that attacked Roarhaven" said Obsidian "we believe them to be Department X"
At that moment Fenrir and Blake looked up in shock.
"There's no such thing" said Tanith
"Well then these guys must be just using their name to scare us" said Obsidian "I don't know, but that's who attacked us"
"I'm sorry" said Dean "what's Department X?"
"And organisation that hunts magic" said Blake "it was a story that came around during World War 2"
"They've attacked Roarhaven" said Fenrir "what if my pack is next"
"What's make you think that?" Said Aura
"It's the biggest wild pack in the UK, ever since The Unveil of Magic. Wolfbloods from all over have joined for their own safety"
"And now their at risk" said Obsidian "we have to help them" he then turned to Fenrir "anyone else you know that's at risk?"
"I have family in Canada" he turned to Tanith "if I give the address, can you send someone to check on them"
"We'll do our best" Replied Tanith. She then turned to Aura "and what's your interest in Castiel?"
Aura then looked up at Castiel, she pulled out a necklace with a rune on it. She pressed the rune and Castiel's eyes widened.
"My mother was a demon called Meg, my farther... Is him"
Dean and Sam both looked shocked at Castiel.
"Dude" said Dean "what did you do?"
"It was when I wasn't myself. During the Leviathan threat. Like I said, I wasn't myself"
"The past is the past" said Tanith "save the world now, solve personal problems later"
Before anyone could agree, there came a rumble from above the surface. Tanith pulled out her phone and dialled.
"What's happening out there?" She asked
"We're under attack" came the voice "unknown assailants"
