Chapter 7:
A/N: The whole Adam and Eve thing of "why we die" I've heard in years past. Because of that ,"why we die" with the Adam and Eve reasoning is my own personal belief of why we die. I have yet to read the Bible (though I would like to sometime in the future) so I have no idea if my reasoning is in the Bible or not.
As for the enochian, I just looked up an enochian dictionary and made up the summoning words in English and found them in the enochian language. I'll give you the English translation at the end but it may not make sense since I had to work with the words meant in Enochian and not all the words were there.
Name Camael pronounced: {Caw-may-el}
Name Lailah pronounced: {Lie-la}
Name Samyaza pronounced: {Sam-ee-aza}
"Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." ~ Denis Waitley

Dean:
Dean is in the kitchen doing dishes when Camael comes up behind him and asks a question. "Why do people die, Dad?"
Dean puts down the bowl he was scrubbing and turns around, kneeling down to be more Camael's height. "Well, you see, people can't live very long because of disease or just old age, their organs shut down." He doesn't know if what he is saying even makes sense to a three years old's mind but what the hell. "That make sense?"
"Sort of…" the little girl says. "But why does that happen?"
Dean hesitates. "Honestly… I really don't know. I guess…" he trails off not really knowing what to say.
"Is it because of Adam and Eve?" Camael asks and Dean looks at her confused.
"What do you mean?" he asks.
She looks him in the eyes with big, bright blue eyes. "Well I always thought that when God created Adam and Eve he created them so they couldn't die, but when the devil tricked Eve into eating the apple from the forbidden tree and Eve convinced Adam to do the same, as punishment God created death."
Dean is speechless. "Um… well… if you believe that then why are you asking?"
"Why would God punish us all for what Adam and Eve did?" she asks.
"Maybe because we are all Adam and Eve's children so in a way we inherited it." He pauses then scrunches his eyebrows. "Which is actually kind of disgusting if you think about it because that means all humans are having incest." He shivers involuntarily.
"But we are so diverse and separate now a day that it doesn't matter. We are too far apart in the family tree for it to matter, though if you think about it, maybe that is why we have so many diseases. Autism, mental retardation, dyslexia, … schizophrenia, Parkinson, … physical disorders like being born without a leg or arms, or conjoined, you name it, those could all be signs of incest because at the very beginning of everybody's family tree, we all came from the same two people, Adam and Eve," the three year old says.
"How in the world do you know all those diseases?" Dean asks in astonishment.
"I read," she says simply.
Dean chuckles. "You need to stick to the children books for now on."
"Dad?" Camael says, ignoring Dean's comment about reading little children books. "How come Daddy getting tortured killed my baby brother?"
Dean looks at his daughter in bewilderment. How does she know about that? He thinks but then it hits him. She most likely overheard his and Castiel's conversation. "You heard Daddy and me, huh?" She nods. "Sweetheart, listen, sometimes people… things… are cruel and they don't think about others except themselves and they do things that affect other people."
"So Lailah was just thinking about himself when he killed my baby brother?" she asks with these sad blue eyes.
"Well… Dad was kind of stupid too because he didn't stop it," he admits.
She looks confused. "Why didn't you stop it?"
Dean takes a deep breath. "I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry honey, that's the best answer I got."
"Did Lailah know about Duma?" she asks next.
"Duma?" Dean asks, confused.
Camael smiles slightly. "Angel prince of dreams."
Dean grins wide. "You named him already?"
"He was living, he deserves a name," she says sadly.
Dean nods, feeling tears of pride and sadness starting to form. "Yeah he does doesn't he?" She nods and Dean quickly wipes the tears away. "Yeah sweetie, he knew."
"Why would he do that then, it doesn't make sense," she says and Dean can see tears already forming in her eyes.
"Sweetheart listen." He cups her head and the little girl sniffles, though the pools of liquid still form in her eyes. "Because Lailah doesn't…" He tries to think of something to say, something that won't make the half angel half human girl feel bad. "He doesn't like angels having children so he thought as long as he has your Daddy there… he might as well get rid of his child too."
A tear slips pass her barrier. "Does that mean he's after me?"
Dean honestly doesn't know how to answer this question so he decides on the truth. Besides that's all he's been telling her, why stop now. "Yes, honey, he's after you." She looks frightened. "But we're not going to let him get to you, okay, I promise."
She nods but doesn't stop her crying, if anything it gets worse. "How come you didn't tell me I was going to have a brother?"
"Honey, we didn't tell anybody. It wasn't a good time," he tries to reason but even to him it sounds pathetic.
"But I want my brother." She cries heavily and Dean pulls her into a hug. "It's not fair; he never got to see the world. Duma should be growing right now and I should be taking care of him." She cries into Dean's shoulder making it wet but at the moment Dean doesn't care. All he cares about is rubbing circles on Camael's back trying to calm her down. "I want him back, I want a brother."
"Shh, it's okay Camael, I promise in the future you'll have a baby brother or sister, okay? I promise. Shh," Dean sooths.
Camael pulls away from him. "Really?" He nods and she smiles slightly. Dean cups her head and wipes the tears away with his thumbs.
That's when Sam walks into the room. "Hey look, it's Uncle Sammy. I bet he would be willing to take you up stairs and tuck you in." Dean looks to Sam hopefully and Sam looks at the both of them, seeing Camael's tear streaked face and red, puffy eyes.
"Yeah sure and I'll even wait with you for Castiel to arrive and read a passage out of the Bible." He bends down and picks up the girl who is now yawning.
"Okay Uncle Sammy." She lays her head on his shoulder.
"I'll be up in a few to say goodnight," Dean says as the two leave the room. He turns back around and finishes up washing the dishes. After that, he makes his way up stairs and into Camael's room where he halts at the door. He watches as Castiel sits on the edge of the bed reading the Bible to their daughter. They both look so peaceful and Dean wishes it could stay this way. Once Castiel shuts the Bible and kisses Camael on the forehead, Dean walks into the room and Kisses the girl on the forehead, too. "Goodnight sweetheart."
"Goodnight Dad," she says and closes her eyes.
The both of them walk back down stairs and into Bobby's library where Bobby and Sam are. Bobby is at his desk watching Sam who is reading about Lailah for the hundredth time. "Sam, I thought you said there wasn't information on Lailah that we didn't already know in there."
Sam looks up from the book. "There isn't but I was kind of just hoping."
"I don't get it," Dean sits on the arm of the couch, "how come we can't just go find him and gank him with that nifty angel sword you have Cas?"
"Because Dean it's not that easy to find him," Castiel answers. "If he doesn't want to be found then it will be near impossible to find him, just like what Gabriel did when he left heaven."
Dean's hopes are lost but then Sam's voice enters his ears. "Guys, I think I found something." They all get up and crowd around Sam. "A summoning spell, specially made for Lailah."
Dean looks to Castiel then back to Sam. "But do we really want to risk him coming here?"
"We can trap him in holy fire," Sam says. "It's worth a try and we don't have to do it here."
Dean looks to Castiel again. "What do you think?"
Castiel looks hesitant. "I don't know."
"Bobby?" Dean asks the older man next.
Bobby shrugs. "I guess it's worth a try."
Dean nods. "Okay then, I guess it's settled. We'll summon him but not here. I'm not going to risk him getting out somehow and getting Camael."
Sam nods next. "Okay, let's get started."

Castiel:
Castiel has a really bad feeling about this. "Maybe I should stay here and Sam should go with Dean." They 'all' decided that Dean and himself would go to an abandoned warehouse and summon Lailah while Bobby and Sam stay behind to keep an eye on Camael.
"If something does go wrong and Lailah does, somehow, escape the holy fire then Dean is going to need angelic assistance to battle another angel. Bobby and I can handle things here," Sam claims and Castiel doesn't argue.
"Okay lets go," Dean says and Castiel gives Sam and Bobby a quick nod before placing two fingers on Dean's forehead and flying them to a deserted warehouse. Castiel pours the ring of holy oil on the ground while Dean sets up everything else. Once they have everything ready Dean does the ceremony, reading off the enochian poorly.
Castiel takes the paper with the summoning ritual on it and begins reading. "Ol vmd mirc casarm ol vmd. A la casarmi dorphal vors ollog od graa pasb oiad. Zamram tia."
They wait for what seems like an hour when only it's fifteen minutes. Lailah appears inside the circle and Dean lights up the holy oil with his lighter. Lailah doesn't look pleased. He looks to Dean. "Dean," he says in greeting and then turns to Castiel. "Castiel." He looks the falling angel up and down. "How is it knowing that you aren't going to be having that precious little son."
"You son of a bitch," Dean says from his place but doesn't move to Castiel's relief.
Lailah turns back to Dean. "Hey, I was just saving you the trouble. Now you won't have to unsuccessfully protect two children from me."
"Why do you want Camael anyways, better yet our children?" Dean asks. Castiel wishes they would just kill him now and forget the questions for his bad feeling is growing by the second.
Lailah laughs. "Not necessarily your children, your son just kind of would have been inconvenient."
Castiel can literally feel the anger radiating off Dean. "An inconvenience?" Dean asks angrily. "He wasn't even born yet!"
Lailah smiles. "But he would have been and him being a half breed makes him an… abomination."
"And is that why you want Camael, to kill her because apparently unborn children and three years olds are 'abominations'?" Dean asks.
"Not children Dean," Lailah says more seriously. "Nephilims. Do you know the history of them?" Dean looks at him confused. "Well Castiel knows. Go ahead, tell him, Castiel."
Castiel turns to Dean to see him looking at him in a confused manner. He was hoping to avoid this subject. "In the past there were a group of angels that came down from heaven and fornicated with the daughters of men and their children were considered nephilims. The leader of those angels was Samyaza. All the angels that followed him were cast into Tartarus. In fact Goliath and his siblings were considered nephilims. In history the nephilims were evil creatures and they were one of the reasons why God brought on the Great Flood," Castiel explains.
"You mean the Great Flood with Noah?" Dean asks.
Castiel gives a nod. "Yes."
"That doesn't mean Camael or our son… once son… is going to be evil beings," Dean protests. "You don't need to kill her. We'll raise her right, I promise."
"I'm not planning on killing her Dean," Lailah says.
"What?" Both Dean and Castiel ask at the same time.
"At least not right away," the angel adds.
Castiel is running out of patience. "Then why do you want her?"
Lailah laughs. "That's for me to know and for you guys to scramble around like the hairless apes you are and will become," he looks to Castiel at the last part, "to find out what my game plan is."
"Or," Dean takes a step closer to the holy fire, "you can tell us now, and we promise a quick death."
Lailah laughs again. "Oh boys you never learn." He looks to Dean and gives a satisfied smirk. "It's already too late; I have everyone where I want them."
And suddenly Castiel knows what his bad feeling is about. "Dean," he quickly grabs his lover's attention, "we have to get back to Camael."
"What? What's wrong?" Dean asks, looking worried.
Castiel starts towards Dean in a brisk walk but is all of a sudden flung to the wall. He hits it hard, the pain knocking the wind out of him, and he opens his eyes to see Dean in the same predicament. "Boys, boys, boys, you really should have picked somewhere without sprinklers."
That's when Castiel notices the light spray of water falling on them. "What did you do?" he asks, fury fueling him.
"You guys really shouldn't have left two humans home with your daughter." Five demons appear beside him, the one on Lailah's left holding a screaming, crying, little girl with blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. "Because now I have your daughter." Then they're gone, disappearing in the wind.
"No!" Dean screams and runs to the spot they disappeared in. "We have to summon him again, Cas."
"We can't." Dean looks at him with panic in his eyes. "That summoning is only good for one go."
Dean slouches and Castiel can tell he's barely holding it together to not cry in front of him. "Then what are we supposed to do?"
He wishes he could tell Dean something different, something to put his mind at ease, something to put his own mind at ease because honestly, Castiel is freaking out too. "First we go back to Bobby's, make sure Sam and Bobby are okay. Then we come up with a game plan." He can't help but note how human he sounds. "Okay Dean?" Dean nods and Castiel places two fingers on his forehead and flies them both home.
A/N: This is what I came up with for the summoning. Remember it won't make much sense. :: I call upon to whom I call. The one under whom looking with gladness over men and moon daughters of the just. Show yourselves unto us.
