Part 5:

"Talk about Gabriel. Why is he doing this?"

Cas was silent for a moment. "I think we should talk about you first."

Kae's eyes narrowed. "What about me?" she reached into one of her shopping bags and extracted a pair of dark slacks, a white blouse, and a dark jacket. Her plan was to head to the police station, find out about the case, and try to pick up Sam and Dean's trail.

"What have you to do with Lucifer?" Cas asked.

She snorted and carried the clothes into the bathroom.

"Pick another question, Cas!" she yelled before slamming the door behind her. "and while you're at it, tell me about Gabriel."

"I think Lucifer places more importance considering both demons and angels are after you."

Kae stuck her head out of the bathroom and glared at him. "I think finding Sam and Dean before they both end up dead places a hell of a lot more importance than my problems."

"Your problems are theirs and mine if we're working together." he pointed out.

Fuck. It seemed she didn't have a choice; she needed to find Sam and Dean and Cas was her only option to getting into whatever dimension Gabriel had dumped the guys into.

"Alright. Fine."

"Mom I'll be back in a minute." Kae sniffled and turned away from the open casket. "Bathroom."

Max barely heard her. She was too busy talking to her sister, Kae's Aunt Becca as they stood beside Danny's casket. Kae hurried from the room and down to the Women's Bathroom. Her hands shook as she turned the sink on and splashed warm water on her face.

"Such a tragedy, huh?"

In a flash, Kae grabbed the knife she kept hidden in her purse and turned around to see a middle aged, balding man wearing a suit behind her.

"Who are you?"

"Zachariah." he responded. "I'm going to have to ask that you come with me."

"Zachariah came for you first?"

"Before I had any idea about Lucifer." Kae said quietly. "So...any idea where Sam and Dean are?"

"Working on it." Cas replied. "What exactly does Lucifer have to do with Zachariah?"

Kae was quiet for a moment. "Zachariah came after me because Lucifer was visiting me in my nightmares." she said. "I didn't know at the time what he wanted me for."

"And that is?"

"Aw come on Cas, do you really want her to spoil the big punch line?"

Kae let out a strangled yell as Cas shoved her behind him. When she was able to get her bearings, she saw Zachariah standing in front of them.

"Long time no see," he greeted her.

"Zachariah," she replied stiffly. "What do you want now?"

He pursed his lips and lifted his hand, flicking it to the side carelessly. Cas was flung sideways into the wall of Kae's motel room. He moved his hand a second time and Kae was flung back, against the mirror that hung on the wall over the TV stand.

Pain ripped through her back at the collision, as well as sliced through the skin on her face, neck, the back of her head, and hands as it came into contact with shattered glass. She fell forward, crying out as her body slammed into the top of the TV, then fell onto the tacky gray carpet.

Another snap of Zachariah's fingers and suddenly Dean and Sam were back in the room with them.

"This is nice." he mused, before Dean could say a word. "Gang's all here."

"What are you doing here?" Sam asked angrily.

A soft groan caught their attention; Kae was sitting up slowly and trying to get up on her feet. Blood ran down the side of her face from a gash above her right eyebrow, and down her right cheek from minor cuts the glass shards had inflicted. Zachariah just shrugged and in a second, he'd vanished, only to reappear behind Kae, who cried out as he grabbed a fistful of her hair and yanked her head back, exposing her neck.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." he replied as a silver blade slid out of the sleeve of his free hand. He put the blade to Kae's throat. "At least the worst of the Apocalypse dies with her."

"What the hell are you talkin' about?" asked Dean.

"Dean..." Kae whispered. "It's not...Its not important."

"You want me to save your ass?" he shot back at her. "Shut up alright?"

Zachariah sighed. "Well if you don't want to tell him yourself, I will." his eyes didn't leave Dean's face, no doubt waiting for the right reaction - the one that would mean her death.

Hell maybe he meant for her to die at Dean's hand instead of his own.

"Lucifer has chosen her." Kae closed her eyes tight. "as the mother of his child."

Thoughts? No flames please. :)
