Chapter Twelve

"Hey Sammy what's going on?" A week after meeting Camellia and the boys had decided that it was time Sophia learned to defend herself properly. Castiel was helping her with her prophet protecting abilities, but being a witch was something no one knew how to handle.

"I figured you've been training everyday so you could use a break." He felt bad about the bruises she now had on her arms and legs due to her not letting them go easy on her. Camellia was researching ways to help Sophia with the witch thing while Dean was sleeping so, today he thought to have a nice day with Sophia.

"That sounds great." she smiled at him as he met her half way down the stairs." Where are we going?" suddenly she felt this intense heat in her hands and then this bright light shot from them hitting the wall beside Sam with a loud noise bring Dean and Camellia to them.

"What the hell happened?" Dean asked as he looked between Sam and a very frightened looking Sophia." Are you both alright?" he eyed both very cautiously

"I-I don't know how that happened?" Sophia stumbled over her words truly stunned at what had just happened.

"Has it happened before?" Sam asked as he approached her carefully taking her hands into his and looking them over.

"N-no," she was shaking from head to toe now." I mean aside from when the hell hound attacked." she felt like she couldn't breath." I can't control it Sammy." tears fell from her eyes. " I could have killed you." She buried her face into Sam's shoulder as she cried.

"Someone want to tell me what's going on?" Dean asked as Sam took Sophia into his arms and just gave a Dean a look" Guess not." he followed them into the sitting room.

"I found something that might help you gain temporary control over them." Camellia spoke up softly as they sat down "It's a ritual that you can do for protection which would help in a way and the more you practice rituals the more control you'll have." she looked from Dean and Sam back to Sophia." I know it's not what you guys wanted, but it's all we got for the moment."

"It's worth a shot." Sam said as he rubbed Sophia's shoulders comfortingly." You wanna give it a try?"

"If it helps to keep me from killing someone accidentally yes." she could feel the warmth in Sam's touch flowing through her, but she was still shaken by what happened.

"Great so, now we do witch ritual's to help her develop her witch side." Dean shook his head as he sighed heavily.

"What other choice do we have?" Sophia looked up into his eyes pleadingly." I could have hurt or killed Sam just now and I would rather become a full blown witch then to do that you know this better than anyone." Dean walked over to her and knelt in front of her.

"I get that you're scared, but maybe there is another way." He suggested softly as he touched her knee." Let's ask Cas about it just to be sure." she nodded her head

"Okay, I just gotta do something." she told him as he pulled her to a standing position.

"What about the guy with blonde hair that told me about her?" Camellia asked curiously as everyone turned their attention to her.

"What guy?" Dean asked looking from Camellia's face to Sophia's

"Sophia do you know this guy?" Sam asked as he saw the color drain from her face.

"I did." she admitted her voice sounding rough." He died protecting me when I turned sixteen or so I thought." she met Sam's eyes." He had been around me my entire life. He was always there whenever I was in trouble."

"What's his name?" Dean asked curiously

"Well, when I met him he was called Brandon." Sophia said as her eyes met Camellia's.

"When I met him he said his name was Gabe." Sophia noticed the shocked expressions on the boys faces before she heard their gasp.

"As in Gabriel?" Dean asked scrunching up his brows.

"Yes, he said you two would be surprised to hear his name." Camellia said to them.

"How long have you known about this?" Sam asked Sophia who dropped her eyes to the floor.

"Since the day I met her. I was not sure if he was the same man, but now I am." Sophia said softly as Castiel appeared before them." Really you should just use a door." her eyes met Castiel's who just looked from her to the boys.

"Did you know Gabriel is back?" Dean asked him as Castiel looked over at Camellia.

"I had heard a rumor, but nothing solid." He said as he looked back at Dean.

"Well, from what we just found out he is very much still alive." Dean said as he looked over at Sophia who he noticed now wore a soft bruise on her cheek. He remembered when she got that yesterday morning they were training and Sam came in distracted her long enough for the punch that Dean swung her way to connect. He felt bad, but she told him it served her right.

"How sure can you be?" He asked as Camellia stood by his side.

"Because these two here saw him." Dean said as he pointed in between Camellia and Sophia.

"I saw him up until I was around sixteen when he died or just vanished." Sophia said softly still shaken from nearly killing Sam.

"I saw him not too long ago and he told me about her." Camellia said nodding her head in Sophia's direction.

"Well, then we have a problem." Castiel said as his expression turned serious.
