The End is Nigh
Aria watched as the black smoke escaped Alpha's mouth then disappearing. Alpha's human was far from saving now. He had a gaping hole in his head and was recognizable.
Spencer looked back at the boys. "H-How's Mackenzie?"
Sam walked towards her. "She's fine."
"Aria, look." Dean looked out to the sea of angels.
Aria walked past them and stood at the steps to the building.
Every angel was covered in demon while smiles across their faces.
Castiel walked through the crowd and looked up at Aria. "The demons are no longer here, Miss Aria. Heaven belongs to the angels now."
Aria gave Castiel a nod. "Thank you."
"Excuse me, Excuse me." Crowley refused to brush up against an angel. "Most of my men are gone now so I suppose I should too."
Aria nodded. "Thank you for your help."
"Don't mention it. Seriously, don't say a bloody word." Crowley snapped his fingers.
Spencer, Sam, and Dean stood beside Aria.
"We did it." Spencer smiled.
Bobby walked up the steps and held out his hand. "Thanks for your help."
Aria shook Bobby's hand. "Thank you as well."
Bobby turned to Dean with a frown. "Boy!" He slapped him upside the head. "Get that horrible scar off your arm and take her to dinner."
Spencer turned to Sam. "I'm incredibly grateful for your help. Thank you."
"Don't thank me yet." Sam said coldly. "I'm leaving as soon as we're done here."
Mackenzie coo'd as Spencer held her.
"This child...I-I can't raise her by myself." Spencer looked up to Sam. "You have to stay."
Sam looked down at the child. "Nothing is changing my mind, Spencer."
"Miss Aria!" Hannah stepped forward. "What will happen now?"
"First things first." Aria held out her hand in front of her and a blast of her magic healed the souls and angels spotless.
"Will you remain with us?" Bobby asked.
"I will drop by once in a while. I need to remain on earth with my family." Aria grinned.
Dean nudged Aria. "What about Gadreel? Where's the bastard?"
Spencer gave Mackenzie to Sam. "He must be still inside..dead."
Aria looked at Spencer. "We have to get rid of her properly."
Spencer nodded and started walking towards the entrance. "Which room?"
Aria quickly caught up with her. "Spence.."
"Where is he?" Spencer asked again.
Aria led her to his room. "Saying your goodbyes?"
"Yes, Aria." Spencer opened the door and saw Gadreel remaining dormant. It was clear Gadreel was forever gone and his vessel sat there; still connected to the wires Alpha used to kill him. She slowly walked towards him; tears almost filling her eyes. "What do we do?"
Aria followed behind her. "After you say what you need to say, I'll let his vessel move on."
Spencer nodded; taking a seat next to him. She took his cold hand and stared at him as if he was alive.
"Gadreel, I know you're not in there but, I'm sorry for what I've done. This is my fault and I should have quit while I was ahead. But, you know me." She chuckled. "I'm hardheaded. As for Sam, that was not my intention to put you in the middle. Because of that, that drove not only you, but all of us into destruction. Alpha is gone now and I'm moving on. We all are. I'm going to put this mess behind us and raise my daughter. Wherever you are, just know I'll always have a place in my heart for you." Tears fell onto her lap. "Please forgive me." She laid her head on his shoulder and cried. "I-I'm going to fix this somehow." She wiped her face. "Goodbye, friend."
Aria put her hands on Spencer's shoulders. "Come on." She helped her up.
Spencer stood behind Aria, crying on her shoulder.
Aria's eyes and palm turned blue as she aimed her hand at Gadreel. "Goodbye, brother. Your debt is finally paid."
Gadreel's vessel slowly turned a light blue and one by one, his body began to dissolve by pieces.
When Spencer opened her eyes, all that was left was the chair.
Aria turned around and stared at Spencer.
Spencer stared down at Aria. "I love you." She hugged her companion.
That night, Aria and Spencer were back to searching for the Cain cure.
Sam and Dean sat on the Impala's hood drinking beers while looking at the moon.
"I thought you would be gone by name, Sammy." Dean took a sip.
Sam shrugged, looking at the ground. "After what happened, I don't think I should go anywhere. I feel like this child is mine, Dean."
"How can you be so sure?"
"When I look at her, I think about when we first met. We talked about starting a family but of course, never got around to it. Now that Spencer is here with that baby, I honestly feel as if I helped create her."
Dean nodded. "That's good."
Sam shrugged. "But my mind still hasn't changed. I'm leaving, Dean. I'm sorry."
"Why do you always want to walk away when things get bad, huh?"
"I don't want to even look at Spencer right now." Sam sighed. "It's over, man."
"Hold that thought." Dean answered his phone. "Yea?"
Spencer chewed on the end of the ink pen.
Aria looked up from the book. "Spence, I know you're stressed but could you please stopping doing that?"
Spencer slammed the pen down. "The Book of The Damned!"
Aria tiled her head slightly. "What's that?"
"You of all people don't know the Book of The Damned?"
Aria shook her head. "I have never heard of it."
"Aria, can you read these symbols?" Spencer turned her laptop around.
Aria shook her head. "I can't understand any of this. I don't even know where it is."
Dean and Sam quickly ran down the stairs.
"Aria, Spencer, do you remember our friend, Charlie?" Dean asked, laying his phone on the table.
"The redhead?" Spencer asked.
"She just called us from a payphone saying she found some kind of book that seems to be important to us." Sam explained.
Aria stood up. "The Book of The Damned, right? Spencer found this picture online and it's nothing I can read. Even if we got our hands on it, we'll need a witch to decode it for us."
"A witch?" Dean asked.
"Yes. I believe only a witch can decode it for us. But, not just any witch. We'll need help from Rowena." Aria crossed her arms. "Problem is, I haven't seen her around in years."
Spencer shut her laptop. "We can sleep on it. I'm a little exhausted."
"I agree." Dean took Aria's hand and lead her to the bedroom.
"Uh, Dean. I do not need sleep." Aria blushed.
"It's okay." He shut the door.
Spencer stood up and pushed her chair in.
Sam sat his beer on the table and dug his hands into his pockets.
Spencer began picking up the books from the table. "I thought you were leaving."
Sam sighed. "Yea, I am."
"Then why are you still here?" Spencer clutched the books. "What's holding you back exactly?"
"Maybe I want to stay and maybe not. I haven't exactly thought about it all the way through."
Spencer continued to clean. "Aren't you going to help us? Charlie should be here soon."
Sam sighed. "I want to help you guys, trust me. But I really need to get away. Take a step back for awhile."
Spencer nodded. "Do what you need to do, Sam." She walked towards her Mackenzie's room. She walked into Mackenzie's room and looked down at the wide awake baby.
"Dear Sam,"
Spencer picked up Mackenzie, snuggling her close.
"All of the crap I put you through, I understand if you want to leave. Although this child belongs to Gadreel, he isn't here anymore. But you still love me..don't you? I just want you to stay and his child needs a father. I know it's a overwhelming situation. You can leave if you want. I can't stop you."
Spencer looked down at Kenzie smiling her toothless smile at her. She turned away with tears running down her cheek. Everything about this child reminded her of Gadreel.
Thank you for reading the sequel to 'Not All That Glitters Is Gold.' R&R if you enjoyed it ;)
