Castiel inhaled sharply. Liora was the daughter of Lucifer? He was shocked. He should have seen it coming though. All signs pointed to this conclusion, he was just to ignorant to see it. It all added up.

"It's not hard to believe that Lucifer had a back up plan. It actually is a great plan. Leave a daughter on earth to free you from your cage. Brilliant, Luci!" Gabriel said trying to make light of the grim situation.

" What should I do now?" Castiel wondered out loud.

"It's obvious, Kill her," Gabriel said in a matter of fact voice.

" I can't kill her, I...I...I love her," Cas rambled.

" Look Castiel, Luci doesn't leave a daughter on earth for nothing. He will call for her. It's only a matter of time. She will begin the Apocalypse you worked so hard to stop."

" No, She won't. She's not evil."

"Oh Cas, So blissfully naive and in love. Such a fool. She will go evil. She was born to go evil."

" Gabriel, She won't!"

"Look, you may have been able to change destiny in the past, but I'm not taking any chances. Liora has to die. Cas, I'm sorry."

"I won't let you kill her."

"I don't think you can stop me, little brother. I'm stronger than you."

"I'll just keep sending you back to heaven."

"Of course you will, but I'll come when you're not watching."

"I'm always watching."

"Well, I hope, for her sake, you're right... I'm sorry it has to be this way, Cas... You'll thank me for this one day." With that Gabriel disappeared.

Cas knew Gabriel was stronger and better equip in every way. He also knew Gabriel was probably right but he loves Liora and he would find a way to protect her. He didn't care about fate or destiny. He loves Liora with all his heart. He was determined to conquer fate.

Castiel reappeared in the cabin's living room. Liora was there waiting for him to return.

"So...What was that all about?" Liora asked. Cas looked on edge and she was concerned.

"Just an old friend checking to see if I was alright,"Cas said, lying through his teeth. He didn't want her to think she was evil. She didn't need to know just yet.

"Is that it? You seem edgy."

"Heaven has a bounty on our heads." That much was true.

"Oh... I'm confident that we will be OK."

"Yes, you're right." Cas walked up to her and kissed her gently on the lips.

Liora was startled. She wasn't use to romance or any sort. It's hard to find time for love when you're constantly running for your life. After a few seconds, Liora leaned into Castiel's kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

Castiel tried to push the thought of Liora being Lucifer's daughter from his mind. He put his hands around her waist and pulled away from the kiss. This relationship was against heaven in every way imaginable, but Cas could care less. He kissed her again but this time he was strong and sure. They kissed for several minutes until Castiel finally pulled away.

"I love you," Liora said. It was kind of cheesy for her taste, but she wanted to hear Castiel say it back.

"I love you, too," he replied with a smile. They stood there staring into each other's eyes for what seemed like a life time.

The door busted open. A familiar smiling face appeared in the door way. He had a mocking smile on his face and his black eyes seemed to glow in the dim light.

"Biezle," Liora said in shock.

Castiel lifted his hand to exorcise Biezle, but Biezel slammed his hand onto the symbol painted on the door. A flash of bright light blinded everyone for a few second and when they were finally able to see, Castiel was gone.

Liora began to exorcise Biezle admits the confusion, but Biezle slammed her against the wall knocking her out cold. When she awoke, she was tied to a chair with rune covered ropes around her hands.

"Here we are again," Biezle said with a laugh.

"What happened to Cas?"

"I sent him back to heaven," Biezle said with a smirk.

"He'll be back and when he returns he will kill you," Liora said in a stern voice.

"I'm not too concerned, sweet heart." Biezel began to pull candles out of a bag.

" Are you here to finish what you started last time?"

"Oh no. Actually, I'm not here to kill you." He began to pull other items out of the large bag and put them into a bowl.

"What do you want with me then?"

"I don't really want anything to do with you now that you have an angel on your shoulder," Biezle said putting the items on the table and moving closer to Liora, "You smell of Castiel... You two are a little friendly, aren't you?" Biezle laughed.

" Tell me why you're here."

" Fine. You're quite demanding... The big man downstairs made me a sweet offer. He's a little unhappy being trapped in a cage with his big brother."

"Who's the big man downstairs?"

" Oh, you know. Lucifer.. Satan... You probably know him as Daddy."

" What are you talking about?"

"Oh, you don't know. Lucifer is your father."

" What that can't be?" Liora was in shock, how was that possible?

" Yes, it's true. You're the spawn of Satan. It makes sense. Why else would there be a half angel who has no affiliation with heaven? Why would everyone be trying to kill you? Why are you so powerful? Come on, face the facts."

"I'm...The spawn of Satan?" She couldn't believe it. Just saying it sent shivers up her spine.

"Bingo. And your Dad wants you to free him from his cage. Start the apocalypse again. The whole nine yards."

"No...No...It's not possible...I'm not evil."

"Just keep telling yourself that." Biezle arranged the items on the table and began to light the candles. Then he held up an old parchment and began to chant in Latin. When he was finished speaking, he dropped a match into the bowl, lighting the contents on fire.

Liora screamed. Pain shot through her body. It lasted only a few seconds.

"What did you do to me?"

"You'll see."

Castiel appeared in the room. He moved his hand to exorcise Biezle but he was already gone. He ran over and untied Liora's hands.

"Are you alright?" Castiel asked.

"Yeah, I think so," Liora said, she felt alright now.

"What did he do to you?"

" I don't know. Some kind of spell or something... He told me something, Cas...I don't want to believe it, but it makes too much sense."

"What did he tell you?"

"That I'm the daughter of Lucifer."

"I'm afraid that's true." Castiel hadn't wanted her to find out this way.

"You knew?"

"Yes, My friend told me... I'm sorry, I should have told you."

"You were gonna keep it from me?"

"Not forever. I just didn't want you to think you were evil...You're not evil, Liora."

"How can you be so sure, Cas?"

"Because I know you. You are not evil just because it's your destiny. Destiny is a load of shit. I love you, Liora. I believe in you... You aren't evil...Don't listen to those stupid demons."

"...I don't want to be evil..." A tear dripped from Liora's eye. Castiel pulled her into a tight hug. She cried into Cas's shoulder.

"I won't let you go dark. I promise," Cas whispered into Liora's ear.

Liora gained her composure and pulled away. She wiped her eyes and pushed her red hair out of her face. " All my life I knew there was something evil inside me. Something deep and dark buried in the corner of my heart... Thank you, Cas... for believing in me... I'll fight the darkness forever because you are my light."

"I love you, Liora," Cas said," We need to move." He gently pressed his hand to her forehead. They were instantly in a dingy hotel room. "I know this isn't the nicest arrangement, but it makes us harder to track."

"It's fine.. As long as I'm with you." She was surprised at how much of a sap she'd become since she met Cas. She used to be a ruthless hunter, but now she was kissing an angel and being romantic. Being the spawn of Satan didn't even matter to her as long as Cas still loved her.

"I'll get you something to eat." Castiel disappeared.

Liora sighed. She needs to put some bells on Cas. She decided to take a shower in the gross motel bathroom. When she was done showering and had put her clothes back on and fixed her hair as much as she could without a hair brush, she stepped out of the bathroom.

Castiel was sitting on the coach with a paper bag filled with fast food. He was happily eating a burger.

"I thought you didn't need to eat," Liora said, while taking a seat next to him.

"I don't need to but hamburgers are amazing," Cas said, he was happily munching away.

"You are so adorable," Liora said. She took a burger out of the bag and began to eat it.

"I assume you mean adorable as in extremely attractive not as in little baby cute."

"I mean both," Liora said with a laugh. She finished her burger and put the wrapper back in the empty paper bag.

"I like to think I am a ruthless almighty angel." Castiel finished the last bite of his burger.

"Whatever you think, Cas," Liora said sarcastically.

"You should get some sleep," Cas said, "You need to be alert, just in case."

" What are you gonna do all night?"

" Watch over you."

"That's a tad creepy, even for my tastes." Liora took off her jacket and sat down on the bed. " If you're gonna watch over me, you might as well lay down." She patted the bed, inviting Cas to lay next to her.

"I don't need to sleep. You know that," Cas said.

" Come on, Cas... What if I get cold?" She said.

Cas assumed that Liora wanted to cuddle with him. This was something Castiel hadn't done in a long time. He removed his trench coat and placed it over a chair. Then he untied his tie and placed it on the table. It felt strange since Cas never had a reason to take off his tie. He even unbuttoned the first button on his shirt. He laid down on the rock hard bed next to Liora.

Liora moved over until she was nuzzled against Cas. He was so big and warm. She felt him put his arms around her. She looked up into his eyes. His bright blue eyes stared into hers. She moved forward and began kissing him. Castiel leaned forward, intensifying the kiss. They passionately kissed for a couple of minutes, only breaking to take in a few breaths.

Castiel was enjoying himself but he knew that they should stop. He pulled away reluctantly . He caught his breath and said, " Go to bed," in a stern but gentle voice. They needed to be alert in case of danger.

"Fine...You're no fun, Cas," Liora said as she snuggled her head into Cas's chest. She felt herself begin to drift off as she listened to the rhythmic beating of Castiel's heart.

"...I love you," She said quietly.

"I love you, too," Cas responded, but she was already asleep.

In Liora's dream she sat on the coach at the cabin in the forest. She perked up and looked around, expecting Castiel to appear. Instead she saw an unfamiliar man. His hair was strawberry blonde and he looked at her with a mocking smile. Something felt wrong. What was this man doing in her dream?

"Who are you?" Liora asked. She was very confused

The man looked at her with a smirk and said," It sure is a shame that you don't know who I am. Its me, your one and only father."
