The Reconstruction of Rome: The Damned

By: M14Mouse

Summary: You know that road paved in good intentions. Sam and Cas walked so many times before.

Disclaimer: Don't own them.

"The Book of the Damned…I only had vague knowledge of such a book. From what I do know, it is a dangerous book. Sam, is that wise? "

"I don't have much a choice. It is either this or nothing. It is the same as you and Metaron. Honestly, you wouldn't have him with you if there was some chance that he would have your grace."

"You are correct. It does not mean that I have to like it."

"We don't have to like it. My first impulse is to burn book and run far away from it. But my second impulse is to research it and hope for the best. I'm guessing that you have the same feeling. You probably want to see how many molecules you can spread him across the universe."

"Yes…no…maybe a little. From his choice in music and his desire to visit every diner from here to my grace…I have greater impulse to do just that"

"Are you sure that he isn't leading on a treasure hunt?"

"It is quite possible but I sense that he has knowledge where my grace is."

"I think sooner or later that he will tell you. He is a coward."

"Agreed but a very knowledgeable one."

"Is that the truth?"

"How is Dean?"

"He is struggling. I can tell. Charlie and I try not to let it show but sometimes…"

"Sometimes, it does."

"Dean can sense it too. He can tell that he is uncomfortable. Sometimes…."

"What?"

"You can see it…when the mark took over, he could see that he is just lost in the kill. That scared me more than anything…it isn't before or during…it is the after, Cas. He just doesn't care until I snap him out of it. Sooner or later, I know that I won't be able too."

"Then you must call me when it comes to that, Sam."

"And do what? Lock him away. He will get out again and it will be ten times worse. I feel that the book is my last hope."

"Sam…"

"I know, Cas. But I have looked and researched. Nothing…I came up with nothing but this damn book. How many paced roads have we walked? How many good intentions do I hope to accomplish when I know that I might make this worse?"

"Honestly? I am not sure. I believe my actions have caused the same effect. I started out believing one thing and it turned out to be a lie….a game played by others. My path leaded down many destructive ends and hurt a great deal of people including you and Dean. I am hoping that this path won't do the same."

"That is all I am feeling. I keep hoping that I don't get anyone else killed. I should know better. This is going to end bloody for all of us."

"No… Man is, properly speaking, based upon hope; he has no other possession but hope; this world of his is emphatically the place of hope."

"You remember that? You can't use my own quote against me, Cas. It isn't fair."

"It is a well founded quote. I do not play fair."

"Hehe…I know. Thank you… I will call you if I found out anything else."

"And I will as well."

"And Cas…good luck."

"You as well."
