Chapter 5- The Blade part 1
Getting back in the car Ferelith gripped the steering wheel tightly. Crowley got in the passenger seat and looked at her. "Did he say where the Blade is?" Ferelith shook her head. "No, he just gave me this." She said showing him the Mark.
Crolwey looked at the Mark and Ferelith had the feeling he knew what it was. "You know what this is…" She said looking at him. "You knew about this didn't you?"
"Not exactly." Crowley said in a round about way. "What do you mean, not exactly You either did or didn't!" Ferelith snapped. Crowley shrugged. "I did." "Okay, tell me more about it." Ferelith said. "The only thing I know about it is that you need it to use the Blade." Crowley said. Ferelith looked at him for a moment, she didn't know if he was lying or not, but she didn't want to argue with him right now.
A day later Ferelith pulled into the driveway of the Bunker and killed the engine. Crowley had long since left. Ferelith looked at the building for a moment. She knew Sam and Dean were going to be pissed, but she had to do it.
The Impala was parked a few feet away, and it looked like it hadn't been there long. Next to it was a gold Lincoln. Frowning Ferelith got out and walked up to the door of the Bunker. She opened it and went inside.
"She said she'd be here soon." Sam said.
Ferelith walked onto the stairway and looked down. She froze seeing Castiel talking with Sam and Dean. Dean looked up seeing Ferelith on the stairway. "Fer?" "Dean…Sammy…Cass…" She said still unable to believe what she was seeing. Castiel looked at her as she hurried down the stairs. Ferelith rushed over to him and enveloped him in a hug. Castiel hugged her back. Feeling his embrace made Ferelith cry. Castiel pulled away and looked at her. "Why did you leave?" Ferelith wiped her eyes. "I had to, I got what we need for the Blade."
Dean stepped towards her. "What do you mean, you got what we need?" Ferelith rolled up her sleeve showing them the Mark. "What the hell is that?" Sam asked looking at Castiel.
"The Mark of Cain."
"What is the Mark of Cain?" Dean asked.
"The first curse ever created." Castiel explained. "What's it do?" Dean asked.
"There are many myths to that, I'm not sure."
Dean looked at Ferelith. "Why did you do this? You don't know what that Mark will do to you!" He snapped. "I couldn't let you and Sam do it." Ferelith protested. "Why not? You sure as Hell shouldn't have done it." Dean snapped. "Dean, it's done..There is no sense in grilling her." Sam said. "Did you find anything on the Blade?" He asked looking at his sister. "No but I have someone doing some digging." Ferelith said.
"Who?" Castiel asked.
"Crowley, he said he was going to do some looking for info."
"Crowley? How reliable is he?" Castiel asked.
"Hey he helped me find Cain." Ferelith said looking at him.
"Cain? As in Cain, Cain." Sam asked surpirsed.
"Yes he's the one who gave me the Mark." She said sighing. "Look I'm tired from the long trip. I'm going to bed." She replied heading to her room. Dean looked at Sam and Cass. "We need to do some research on that Mark." Sam nodded. "Yeah."
Castiel followed after Ferelith and when he got to her room he knocked. "Come in!" Castiel opened the door and stepped in closing it behind him. "Fer, we need to talk." Ferelith who had already laid down sat up looking at him. "What's wrong?" Castiel walked over and sat down next to her. "Ferelith I know what you did was for me, and I appreciate that. But you scared me…" Ferelith looked at him. "I scared you?"
Castiel nodded. "Yes."
Ferelith felt terrible, she didn't want to scare him. "Cass, you mean so much to me…I'm trying to help you."
"I know, but I don't want you to put yourself in danger."
Ferelith looked at him, he seemed so sincere. She wanted to tell him how much she cared….How he made her feel. "Cass…I…" She paused, should she?
Just then her cellphone went off and she looked at it. It was Crowley, she groaned and answered it. "What?"
Castiel looked at her for a moment unsure of what she was going to say, she seemed hesitant. "Yeah we'll meet up tomorrow." Ferelith said and hung up.
"What did Crowley want?" Castiel asked. "He got some info, I told him we'd meet up tomorrow." Ferelith said with a slight grimace.
"Okay, um you were going to tell me something?" Castiel asked. Ferelith looked at him for a moment and looked away. "It's nothing…"
"You sure?"
"Yeah, it's nothing."
"okay well I'll let you get some sleep." Castiel said standing up. Ferelith looked at him and smiled. "Cass?" "Yeah?" He asked looking at her. "Sleep well okay?" Ferelith said standing up and hugging him. Castiel returned the hug. "You too."
Around Midnight Ferelith was in a fitful sleep. She being tormented by a bloody battle, and she was in the middle of it. She was laying waste to everything in sight. As she made her way down a hall she passed a mirror and she saw her reflection.
She paused in horror…
Staring back at her was herself only bloody and she had midnight black eyes. She smiled a cruel smile.
Ferelith woke with a startled scream and looked around. She was covered in a cold sweat, and was shivering from the cold and the spot were the Mark was hurt. She shakily got out of bed an walked over to her door and opened it peering out. She saw that it was late and Sam, Dean, and Cass had gone to bed.
Leaving her room Ferelith headed down the hall a little ways and knocked on Castiel's door. After a few moments the door opened and Castiel looked at her surprised. "Fer? You okay?" He asked seeing her state. Ferelith shook her head rubbing her arms. "No, I had…A terrible dream."
"Come in." Castiel said letting her enter his room.
Ferelith stepped in and Castiel closed the door. Ferelith noticed he was only wearing black sweat pants and no shirt and she blushed. "Do you want to talk about it?" Castiel asked not noticing. Ferelith shook her head. "No, I just don't want to be alone." Castiel nodded in understanding. "Well if you want you can have the bed, I'll take the chair." Ferelith looked at him. "Cass I'm not going to kick you out of your bed. I don't mind sharing. I trust you."
"I don't want to make you uncomfortable." Castiel said nervously.
Ferelith walked over to him and took his hand. "Cass I would feel better if you were laying next to me."
Castiel nodded and Ferelith walked over and laid down on the bed, Castiel joined her and Ferelith turned and cuddled into his chest burying her head in the crook of his neck. Castiel held her gently, he could feel her small body trembling against him. Whatever that dream was it really scared her…He thought. Ferelith slowly drifted off back to sleep, the sound Castiel breathing and his clean scent like a security blanket. Soon after Castiel drifted off to sleep content in holding her…
That morning Ferelith woke up and saw Castiel asleep next to her. She smiled and watched him for a moment. He seemed so peaceful and content while he slept. "Morning." Castiel said opening his eyes. Ferelith blushed. "How long have you been awake?"
"Not long, I just didn't want to wake you getting up."
Ferelith nodded in understanding. "How did you sleep?" She asked.
"Good how about you?"
"Better knowing you were here." Ferelith said taking his hand in hers.
Castiel watched her for a long moment, something seemed to be troubling her. "Fer, whats wrong?" Ferelith looked at him her grey gaze nervous. "It's nothing, I'm just worried."
"About the Mark?"
Ferelith nodded her gaze downcast. "I don't think…I don't think Cain told me everything." "We'll figure out a way to get the Mark off you." Castiel promised.
"No, I need it to get Metatron." Ferelith protested.
"Fer, you don't have to take on Metatron." Castiel said. Ferelith looked at him, tears coming to her eyes. "Cass…Yes I do. I have to get your Grace back." Castiel touched her cheek gently touching his forehead to hers. "I just don't want you to get hurt." Ferelith's heart raced having him so close, his breath mingling with hers. "Cass…I…"
Castiel looked at her intently his blue gaze burning. Slowly he leaned towards her and kissed her tentivly. The kiss was gentle and loving. Ferelith froze, her hand on his chest. She pulled away tears streaking her face.
"Cass wait…We can't…"
Castiel looked at her unsure. "Why?"
"With me having the Mark…I don't know what's going to happen." Ferelith said as she sat up pulling away from him. Castiel sat up and made Ferelith look at him. "Hey, don't talk like that. Nothing bad is going to happen to you."
Ferelith stood up trying to put space between them. "You don't know that Cass, but come Hell or High water I'm getting your Grace back!"
Castiel sat on the edge of the bed looking wounded. "Fer…You can't tell me you don't feel the same way."
Ferelith was quiet for a moment, she didn't want to say it but if she had to, to keep him at arms length then so be it. She looked at the ground for a moment as more tears came and then looked at him forcing herself to say it. "No…I don't." She quickly left the room before she completely broke down.
On exiting the room she passed by Sam who looked at her worried. "Fer? You okay?" She didn't stop she kept walking. "I'm fine."
Sam headed to Castiel's room and looked at Cass. "Cass? What happened?"
Castiel looked at him and shook his head. "Nothing…I just.." He paused. Sam could see the pain on his face. "Cass?"
"I kissed her and she said…She said we couldn't be together and that she didn't feel the same way." Castiel explained looking at the floor. Sam looked at Cass for a moment confused. He didn't understand, he knew Ferelith had deep feelings for Cass. He hurried down to his sisters room and knocked on the door. "Yeah?" Came a horse voice.
Sam opened the door and saw his sister sitting on the edge of the bed quickly wiping her eyes. "What?" Ferelith asked looking away. Sam closed the door behind him and walked over to her. "Fer? What was that all about?" He asked. "Sam don't…" Ferelith said with a warning look. "Don't what? You just broke his heart Ferelith! I know you have feelings for him!" Sam snapped.
"You think I enjoyed doing that?! You think I enjoyed seeing him that way!?" Ferelith screamed. "I can't Sam! Not with this Mark, I have a bad feeling about it…But I'm going to make the best of it. I'm going to get his Grace back." Ferelith cried. Sam looked at his sister, she seemed utterly broken. He walked over and pulled her into a hug. "Calm down, breath…"
Ferelith buried her face in Sam's chest trying to calm down. "I love him Sam….I love him!"
Sam held her rubbing her back. "I know." He whispered.
Just then there was a knock on the bedroom door, and sam stepped away to answer it. Opening it he saw it was Dean. "I was wondering where you went, is everything okay?" Dean asked. Sam stepped out of the room closing the door. "Um Cass…He kissed Ferelith." He said. At first he thought Dean was going to be pissed but he surprised him. "Really? About damn time! They have been dancing around that bush for months!"
"You knew Ferelith and Cass liked each other?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, I've known. How could I not? Look how they act around each other." Dean laughed.
"Well…" Sam said with a grimace.
"What?" Dean asked worried.
"Ferelith turned Cass down."
"What why?" Dean asked surprised.
"She told Castiel that she didn't have feelings for him, but her reason for this is because of the Mark." Sam said. Dean looked at the door and ran a hand through his light brown hair. "Damn…How's Cass?" He asked looking back at Sam. "He's…I don't think he understands." Sam answered. "I'll go talk to him." Dean said and headed to Castiel's room. Knocking on the door Dean sighed wondering about his sister. Castiel opened the door wearing his usual suit, trench coat, and tie.
"Dean?"
Dean stepped into the room and Castiel closed the door. "Sit down buddy, we need to talk." Dean said sitting in a chair.
Cass sat on the edge of the bed looking at his friend. "Yes?" Dean could see the sadness in his gaze. "Cass…Fer, she's going through a lot. She's trying to help you okay?" Dean began. Castiel nodded. "I understand if she doesn't feel the same way."
"No listen, she does…Believe me she does! You two go together like chocolate and wine. She loves you, she's just scared. Cain didn't tell her everything and now she has to go into this blind. She just wants to make sure you don't get hurt." Dean said with a smile.
Castiel looked at him. "She seemed so adamant."
"Was she angry when she said it?" Dean asked.
"She was crying…"Castiel said looking at him in realization.
"Would she be sad if she meant it?"
"No."
"Then there you go, she just doesn't want you to get hurt." Dean said smiling at his friend.
"Are you sure?" Cass asked looking at Dean unsure. "Cass, Ferelith is my sister. I know how much she cares about you." Dean said assuringly. Castiel looked at him for a moment then looked away. He wanted to believe Dean, but the look Ferelith had given him. The adamency in her voice…But the tears and pain in her eyes. Is Dean right? Could Ferelith have been lying?
_Next time in Blood Pack_
"Damm it Dean if you don't pull over I'll jump out!" Ferelith warned. "No you won't." Dean laughed. True to her word Ferelith unlocked the door and opened it as the car was moving and unbuckled her belt….
