Hello everyone! Sorry for the wait, but I really wanted to get this right!
This chapter takes place right after the previous chapter. Ambriel is just waking up after her confrontation with her vessel, Brianna.
Please enjoy.
Ambriel gasped awake in the bed in the motel room.
"Morning." Dean spoke softly as he pulled a shirt over his head.
Ambriel bolted upright in the bed, and cringed slightly as pain shot through her side.
Dean saw the look on her face. "Is something wrong?" He asked, concerned.
Everyone else in the motel room stopped what they were doing. Sam peeked his head out of the bathroom, Celeste looked away from the TV, and Castiel looked up from the small wooden table.
"I just had a dream." Ambriel announced, not believing the words she was saying.
The two angels immediately froze in place, disbelieving of what they heard as well. Celeste's finger was poised over a button on the TV remote and Castiel stopped looking at what he was reading.
Sam had a confused look on his face. "A dream?"
"Do you mean like a vision like Sam used to get?" Dean asked.
"No. A dream." Ambriel replied, staring off into the distance, pulling the sheets closer to her body for comfort.
"So what does that mean?" Sam asked.
"This is very bad." Castiel stood up and walked over.
"Why?" Dean asked.
Celeste chimed in, walking over. "Angels don't sleep. If angels don't sleep, they don't dream."
"Something is seriously wrong with you, Ambriel." Castiel's voice remained low.
"What do we do?" Dean asked as Bri got out of the bed and instantly got dressed.
"Well we gotta figure out what's causing this." Celeste answered.
Bri's hand and eyes traveled to her side, where the angel blade cut was.
Uneasiness filled the room.
"I'm sure it's nothing." Ambriel tried to brush it off, straightening. "It could have just been from her, a nightmare." Ambriel walked towards the motel door, only the two angels knowing what she truly meant. She slyly grabbed something from the wooden table. "I'll be waiting outside." She opened and closed the door before anyone could object.
Celeste hardened her gaze and marched out of the room after her friend, and Castiel soon followed, leaving the two brothers alone.
Dean tried to cover up the anxious and concerned look on his face as he threw his remaining items back into his bag. Sam tried to say something, but Dean was already halfway out the door. Sam grabbed his duffel bag and high-tailed it out of the motel room, but noticed something suspicious.
"Dean! Wasn't there a whole pizza left over from last night?" Sam asked, calling out after his brother.
OoOoOoO
Ambriel was pacing outside when Celeste and Castiel walked up to her. Ambriel was finishing a slice of pizza and moved to throw out the empty pizza box.
"You alright?" Celeste asked.
"You'd see right through my lie." Ambriel replied, crossing her arms.
"You need to-" Castiel started.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not." Ambriel cut him off before he could finish.
Castiel wanted to protest, but stayed quiet.
OoOoOoO
"Alright, let's get these demons and get the hell out of here." Dean announced as he tossed his bags in the trunk.
As everyone loaded in the Impala, Sam stopped Ambriel. "Are you sure you're alright?" He asked.
"Of course. Thank you, Sam." Ambriel replied, opening the back door on the passenger side.
Sam nodded, a sad and concerned look mingling in his eyes, and got into the passenger seat.
The drive was a quick and quiet one to an abandoned factory where all the points crossed and where it made the most sense for the demons to be hiding.
Celeste had texted Ambriel during the ride.
'You ate that whole pizza, didnt you' She texted.
'Yup' Ambriel replied quickly.
'I hope you know what that means.' Celeste texted back.
'If youre concerned about me, tell it to Castiel' Ambriel almost angrily answered.
Celeste stopped texting her.
OoOoOoO
The group unloaded from the Impala and loaded up with their weapons.
They all went in the front door, seeing that there was no alternative. After trying the quiet approach and being discovered by two demons, that Celeste and Castiel stabbed before they could do anything, Dean and Sam deciding to go the rest of the way with guns blazing. Ambriel and Celeste stayed at the back of the pack, killing anything that dared jump at them from behind. Castiel led the way towards the main room where the horde of demons were hiding.
There were at least ten of them, four of which sprung at them all at once. Castiel, Ambriel, and Celeste each stabbed and killed one, while Sam and Dean batted around with another until Castiel launched his angel blade into the demon's back.
Celeste smited another while Ambriel fended off against another.
Castiel fought with another demon as Sam stabbed one with Castiel's angel blade. Dean struggled with another until Ambriel tossed him her blade. Dean stabbed it with ease.
A demon came up from behind and wrestled with Ambriel. She fought back and then held it's head against the wall. She held her palm against it's head with her free hand and smited it.
The demon screamed in pain, and then collapsed to the floor, dead.
Then, Ambriel leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor, holding her head and her side, extremely light-headed.
Castiel was the first to notice.
"Ambriel!" He quickly rushed over and knelt down next to her.
Dean heard this and quickly rushed to the angel's side. Sam and Celeste followed suit, finally killing the last demon.
"Are you alright?" Dean asked, cradling her neck.
"No." Ambriel admitted defeat.
"Her grace is very weak." Castiel announced solmely.
"What do we do?" Sam asked.
"Take her to a rit zien." Castiel replied.
"A what?" Dean asked, confused.
"An angel medic." Celeste replied.
Castiel lifted Ambriel up, bridal style, much to Dean's discomfort.
Dean stood up, and Sam stayed a few steps behind him.
"Celeste, meet me at Anael's. Bring them with you." Castiel ordered.
Celeste nodded, and Castiel winked out with Ambriel.
"Anael?" Sam asked.
"One of the nicer rit zien's." Celeste nodded.
"There are not nice ones?" Sam asked.
"Oh yeah." Celeste nodded. "Some of them are real dicks and don't really help unless there's a war involved."
"So are we going or what?" Dean asked, nervous.
"Yeah, yeah." Celeste disappeared.
Dean threw his hands up in disgust, turning to face Sam behind him.
"Hey, hey." Celeste's voice sounded from behind Dean. "Don't get your panties in a wad."
Dean turned back around while Sam suppressed a smile.
"I just brought the Impala over." Celeste stepped towards Dean. "Ready to go?" She asked, holding up a hand.
Dean looked uneasy. "It's just that... the last time Cas did it, everything was screwed up for a week."
"Pfft." Celeste waved her outstretched hand. "He never does it quite right."
Dean rolled his eyes.
"See you on the other side." Celeste bopped Dean on the forehead and he disappeared.
Sam stood at the ready.
"Enjoy the ride." Celeste joked, and tapped Sam on the forehead.
Celeste looked around her. She poked one of the dead demons with her foot, a bit disinterested.
She scowled and disappeared.
OoOoOoO
Castiel took Ambriel to Anael, as promised. He stood in the foyer of a sprawling mansion in Washington, D.C. It was a beautiful place, but that didn't matter right now.
Anael happened to be walking through when Castiel and Ambriel appeared.
"I need your help." Castiel asked, in monotone.
"What's wrong." Anael replied, barely inflecting.
Ambriel curled closer to Castiel, wrapping an arm around his neck.
"Her grace is weakening rapidly." Castiel explained.
Anael brushed invisible dust off of his purple dress shirt and nodded. He led Castiel to a guest bedroom on the first floor.
Castiel set her down on the bed and Anael went to a closet.
Ambriel seemed to protest every movement but kept a straight face.
Anael came out of the closet, pushing a cart containing almost every torture instrument known to man.
"Is that really necessary?" Castiel asked, quite concerned for Ambriel's well being.
"You do your job, I'll do mine." Anael answered, a bit rudely.
Castiel stayed quiet and backed up a step, leaving more room for Anael.
Anael bent over Ambriel and undid the wrappings around her waist. He sighed when he saw the blue tinted light shining from the fairly large opening on her side.
"How long has it been like this?" He asked, discarding the bandaging.
"Almost two days." Ambriel replied, voice weak.
Anael breathed out heavily from his nose, clearly annoyed. "It's infected." He announced.
"With what?" Ambriel asked, clearly confused.
"Holy oil." Anael replied, trying to understand why someone would do that. "That's why you seem to be turning human."
"How did you know…?" Ambriel didn't even finish her question.
"I know everything." He walked back to the cart and Castiel held in his breath as Anael's had traveled over larger and scarier objects that would most definitely cause pain to Ambriel.
Anael finally found what he was looking for: a book.
Castiel silently let out his breath.
Anael flipped through a couple of pages until he found the correct one.
He started murmuring words in Enochian and placed a hand on Ambriel's chest as she slowly dipped into slumber. Anael finished and Ambriel's head lulled to the side.
"How long will it take for her to heal?" Castiel asked as Anael set his book down.
"Since I'm so great, less than an hour." Anael had a slight smug look on his face.
"Thank you." Castiel said, a little quieter than usual.
"Don't mention it." Anael walked out of the room so Ambriel could recover, and Castiel followed him out, still worried.
Little did they know, Ambriel had her own problems to sort out.
OoOoOoO
Dean was already walking towards the front door of the mansion in front of him. Sam appeared behind him.
"Dean." Sam called out.
Dean regrettably stopped walking and turned around. "What."
"Where are we?" Sam asked walking up to Dean so the two of them could walk together.
"I don't know, but I'm assuming that's where this Anael is with Cas and Bri." Dean replied.
Celeste came up next to Sam, giving both of the brothers a startle. "Now make sure you don't do or say anything offensive because Anael can kill you like that." Celeste snapped.
"Will do." Sam replied as Dean just hardened the look on his face.
The three walked in through the front door just as Anael and Cas were coming out of the bedroom where Ambriel was.
"Is she going to be okay?" Celeste asked the question on everyone's mind.
"Yes. She'll be up and about soon." Anael replied, crossing his arms.
"How soon?" Dean asked.
Anael shot a piercing glance at Dean. "I can't say for sure." Anael replied, almost gritting his teeth.
Dean backed off a little.
"Well, Anael." Celeste tried to draw Anael's attention away from Dean. "How are things?" She asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Don't." Anael turned his head to look at Celeste, with a disgusted, and a bit annoyed, look on his face.
"Rude." Celeste muttered under her breath as she looked away.
That's when everyone heard footsteps and saw Ambriel in the bedroom doorway.
I hope you liked it. The next chapter will reveal some secrets about Ambriel, so stick around!
