CHAPTER 8

"So, questions? Comments?" Paige said as she finished telling the hunters everything Leigh was told. The boys sat there, open-mouthed not knowing what to say.

"That was my initial reaction, with a little more shock, panic and disbelief. You guys are more experienced than me in this stuff though." Leigh told the guys. Sam snapped his mouth shut and looked at Leigh, his expression unreadable.

"That is sick!" Dean exclaimed.

"Which part?" Paige laughed.

"All of it." Dean said with a smile.

"It is pretty cool." Sam agreed.

"I guess it would be from an outsider's perspective." Paige said.

"Can we see it?" Dean asked, looking like a little boy in a toy store.

"See what?" Paige asked, cocking her head to the side.

"The Book of Shadows." Dean said.

"Uh, sure, it'll confirm that you're not evil." She said standing up and heading up to the attic. Sam, Dean and Leigh followed suit.

"So, is this book like, evil EMF?" Sam asked.

"I guess, evil can't tough it. If it does, it'll glow bright yellow and deflect the person or things touch." She explained.

She opened the attic door and walked it. It was a normal attic. There was dust, boxes, old, discarded possessions, except, of course, for the table full of potion ingredients and spell books. Sitting on a small stand, was a large, thick, leather-bound old-looking book.

"So, I just, touch it?" Dean asked, thinking there must be more to it than that.

"Yeah, you just touch it." Paige said.

Dean slowly stepped towards it and placed his palm onto the book. He waited for a few seconds before taking his hand off and grinning goofily. Sam stepped up next and placed his hand on the book. It started to glow bright yellow, but it died down in a second. Paige and Leigh looked at him with caution and confusion, but Dean and Sam just became uncomfortable.

"So, Leigh-Anna, you gonna touch the book?" Dean said loudly before anyone got a chance to ask about it.

Leigh was hesitant about touching it. Leo said if she was a demon or dead, he couldn't heal her, and she didn't heal properly. What if she was something the book didn't recognise and it glowed? They'd think she was evil; she didn't exactly want to take that chance with two hunters around. There was no getting out of it now though. She reached out a timid hand. Just as she was about to touch it, she was saved by a cascade of blue orbs and Leo appeared in front of them.

Thank you Leo! She thought and withdrew her hand.

"Leo!" she said, sounding a little over-enthused than she should've. "Did you find out anything about why you couldn't heal me?" she asked, absent-mindedly twiddling her thumbs.

"Well, not exactly, but they did find a prophecy. 'Venator maledictus a demonem flavus oculos gradiemur down via boni intentiones et producite Lucifer. Erit puerum bonum et malum ex eo consistere terra exitii'." Leo said.

"In English for those of us who don't speak…whatever language that was." Leigh said with a confused yet anxious look on her face. She felt a little burning, tingling feeling in the back of her mind but she ignored it.

"It was Latin. It means 'the hunter cursed by the demon with the yellow eyes will travel down the road of good intentions and bring forth the apocalypse. The half-blood child born from good and evil will be the one to stop him before earth's destruction'. The Elders think the child born from good and evil is you." He explained.

"What? Why do they think that?" Leigh asked, affright.

"Well, they don't know for sure. They're going to keep looking for more information." He tried to reassure her.

"What about this guys with the demon curse?" Dean asked with a quick glance at Sam who was all of a sudden extremely stiff. "Do they know who he is?"

"Not yet, but they're looking."

"Okay, so back to Leigh-Anna being this good-slash-evil thingy. What makes them think that?"

"Well, if she's part demon that would explain why the healing didn't work." he said.

"I guess." Paige said.

Leigh silently left the room. She needed to think about the possibility that she was evil.
