A/N: Yes, tis true, this is the first chapter of a whole new story. Prepare yourself for new adventures, new secrets and... Well you'll see! Here's my new story, 'Third Eye Blind' ENJOY!
Katie stared at Dean blankly, trying to understand his words, but she just couldn't. She looked around the beautiful white nursery, and then brought her eyes back to Dean.
"What do you mean we're home?" Katie asked and then there was a noise from downstairs. Dean glanced over his shoulder. "What's going on?" Dean turned back to Katie. "Dean, what's happening?"
"I'll explain everything later princess, but right now I need you to go back into the bedroom and wait for me"
"Dean" Katie said placing her hands on his arms. "What happened while I was out?" he looked at her for a moment, and she could tell he was thinking of the right thing to say. He shook his head.
"Princess, I promise I will tell you everything" Dean said taking her hand and leading her back to the bedroom. "Just stay here"
"Is something going on?" Katie asked taking a seat on the edge of the bed. "Are we not supposed to be here or something?" Dean smiled and shook his head.
"No, this is exactly where we're supposed to be" Dean said looking around the room. "I have to admit she did good"
"Who did good?" Katie asked and Dean turned back to her.
"Later" He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her lips. The moment their lips touched, neither wanted to pull away. Katie brought her hands to the sides of Dean's face as his hands rested to the bed on either side of the bed. There was another noise from downstairs and Dean growled pulling away. "I will be right back"
"Dean, is everything alright?" Katie asked seriously her hands still holding his face in front of hers. He looked at her for a moment. He wanted to tell her the truth, but knew that the truth would hurt her.
"I'll explain later" Dean said once more before pulling away and walking toward the door. He glanced back to her once more before leaving her alone with nothing but her confusion. She sat with her hands resting on her belly, waiting for her husband to return.
"What happened?" Katie asked herself closing her eyes.
"Castiel don't do this, because if you do this, she will stop you" " She felt him lift the knife from her neck and she thought it was finally over. That there was no need for some long drawn out fight, that everything could be saved with reason. Her hopes were tarnished when she felt blade of dagger pierce her back.
Katie's eyes snapped open as she reached a hand to her back, but there was no pain, no soreness, nothing. There was another sound from downstairs, it was voices. She stood to her feet. Dean knew by now that she was never really good at following orders. She opened the door and peeked out to find the hallway empty. She stepped out and slowly moved down the hallway trying to make as little sound as possible. She found a staircase and placed a hand on the railing, before placing her foot on the first step. There was a small squeak that caused Katie to freeze in place. When it seemed no one had noticed she continue down the stairs. She looked at the wall along the stairs and noticed the pictures hanging. There was one of her and Dean from their wedding, and then there were pictures of her, Dean and Sam, and another with just her and Adam. Nothing was making any sense. The voices were clearer the moment she reached the last step.
"And you sure she's alright?" that was Adam's voice. Katie moved quietly along the wall. "Her and the baby?"
"She seems fine" Dean replied. "She just doesn't remember anything that happened"
"She doesn't remember what she did?" Adam asked and Katie turned her head. What exactly did she do?
"No" Dean replied. "Any word from Bobby?"
"Nothing yet, he still waiting for any news on Cas" Adam replied and Katie leaned her head against the wall. Why couldn't she remember what happened? "What did you tell her?"
"Nothing yet" Dean sighed. "I'm still trying to figure out how much I should tell her without putting her and the baby at risk, right now after everything I doubt she can handle any more stress"
"We can't keep this from her forever, not when he's still out there" Adam said. They were silent for a moment.
"How's he doing?" Dean asked and there was another beat of silence. Katie listened intently.
"He's still out, but he's breathing" Adam said. "Maybe-"
"No, not until we know it's safe" Dean replied. Katie stood there in confusion trying to figure out what they were talking about. "He stays down there until we know he's alright"
"Wanna see the car?" Adam asked and Katie heard Dean growl.
"Might as well" Dean said and Katie heard footsteps and then a door closed. Katie peeked around the corner to a kitchen, a really nice kitchen.
She spotted the back door and was about to turn and look around a bit, when she noticed another door down a short hallway. She moved toward the door and reached for the handle, debating if she should continue or go back upstairs before Dean notices that she's gone. She turns the knob as something inside of her feels as if it's being pulled to whatever is on the other side of this door. When she opens the door she's met with darkness. It's a basement with another set of stairs. Katie sighs as she grabs the railing and places a foot on the first step. There was a loud creek as she continued down the narrow stairwell which only lead to another door, this one metal much like the one to Bobby's panic room. The door was cracked so she pushed it open the rest of the way. There was a small light that lit the room allowing Katie to see that there was someone in there. She took a few steps inside when she finally realized who was lying on the cot.
"Sam" Katie said kneeling next to the unconscious man.
"Well this is a private party" Soulless Sam said holding up a hand toward Katie. "Bye bye" and before she knows it, she's gone.
"Castiel let down the wall" Katie said looking down to her brother in law. She reached a hand to his cheek, but before she could touch him there was an arm wrapped around her, pulling her away. She didn't need to see them to know who it was. "Dean, let me go. I need to make sure he's ok"
"No" Dean replied as he pulled Katie back up the stairs. Once they reached the top Dean let her go, only for her to be wrapped in another set of arms.
"It's good to see you're awake" Adam said as Katie hugged him back.
"It's good to be awake" Katie replied. They pulled from the hug and she looked between the two brothers. "I think now's a perfect time for one of you to tell me what the hell is going on" Dean and Adam shared a look before turning back to Katie. Katie felt a tickle on the back of her neck and looked over her shoulder. She thought she heard a whisper and turned around.
"What's wrong?" Dean asked taking a step over to her.
"Do you hear that?" Katie asked and they were all silent for a moment.
"I don't hear anything" Adam replied. Katie turned back to face them as they both just looked at her confused. She shook her head.
"Maybe it's nothing" Katie said before turning to Dean. "What's going on with Sam?" Dean sighed.
"Cas broke down the wall in his mind" Dean said.
"Yeah, I know that part" Katie replied. "Is he-?" she really hoped his soul was intact, because dealing with soulless Sam, with all of the other crap that was going on would be too much.
"We don't know, he's been out since we got here" Dean replied. "We won't know anything until he wakes up"
"You should let me see if I can get through to him" Katie said taking a step toward the door but Dean blocked it. "Dean-"
"No, the last time you touched him and he didn't have a soul you blacked out, we're not doing that now not when we don't know if something is wrong" Dean replied he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the living room. "When he wakes up, whatever shape he's in, we'll glue him back together" Katie took a seat on the couch and looked around the beautifully decorated house. Dean followed her eyes and sighed. "We weren't supposed to be here yet, it was a surprise" Katie turned back to him. "This was Lacey's secret project, I wanted to give you a home princess" she looked at him for a moment before looking around again.
"So this place, this home?" she turned back to Dean. "It's ours?" He nodded a yes and a smile spread across her face. She stood to her feet and pulled him into a kiss. "We're home?"
"We're home" Dean replied before bringing his lips back to hers. Adam cleared his throat and both remembered he was even in the room. They both turned to him.
"Yeah, we're still in a bit of a crisis" Adam said and Dean just shot him a glare.
"Right" Katie said turning back to Dean. "What happened after I passed out?" Dean sighed and they all took a seat.
"A lot" Dean replied.
Dean, Bobby and Adam appeared outside of a dark, old looking building inside of the impala. They quickly got out.
"This isn't going to be easy" Balthazar said appearing in front of the man. "There are angels surrounding this place"
"I'll handle them" Urim said appearing beside her brother. She turned to Dean. "Find her quickly, she feels weak, something is wrong" Without a word Dean was running toward the doors. Balthazar looked over to Urim.
"You ready for this Uree?" Balthazar and Urim smiled over to him.
"Don't call me Uree?" she replied before disappearing. Balthazar just chuckled before stretching his arms and neck a bit.
"This should be fun" the angel said before disappearing as well.
Everyone froze when the doorbell rang. Dean stood to his feet placing his hand on his gun that was tucked safely behind him. He motioned for Katie to stay where she was as he approached the door. He cautiously grabbed the door knob and pulled the door open.
"I knew I saw someone coming in here last night" A man who looked around Dean's age said. He held out his hand. "I'm James, you must be the new neighbors?"
"Yeah" Dean said reaching a hand out to the man, while keeping the other on his gun. "I'm Dean"
"Welcome to the neighborhood Dean" James said. "I have to tell you, I've been wondering for months what was going on over here, with all the construction, I have to say the place looks really nice" the man said looking around the house a bit. Dean kept his eyes on the man, knowing something wasn't right. James turned back to Dean. "I'm sorry for just barging over here like this but I just wanted to say hi and welcome and if you ever-" the man trailed off and Dean followed the man's gaze to see what had brought him to a loss for words. His eyes landed on his wife. "Well hello there"
"Hi" Katie said with a small smiled. She glanced over to Dean who just shrugged slightly as she walked over to stand beside him. Dean brought an arm around her, pulling her close to him, all the while his other hand never leaving his gun. "I'm Katie, Dean's wife"
"James" the man said holding out his hand to Katie. She looked down to his hand for a moment before reaching out to take it, but she suddenly stopped. She really shouldn't.
"Actually" she brought a fist to her mouth and coughed. "I've had this cough and I really shouldn't" the man just smiled and dropped his hand.
"No problems" James replied. "I hope you feel better" Katie gave a nod before the man turned back to Dean. "Well I live just next door there, if you guys need anything don't hesitate to stop by"
"Thanks" Dean said wishing the guy would just leave already. "We should probably finish unpacking"
"Right" James replied. "Well it was nice meeting you" his eyes went to Katie for a moment before he turned and left. Dean just tossed the door closed before looking down to his wife.
"That was weird" Katie said looking up to him.
"Tell me about it" Dean replied before helping Katie back to her seat on the couch. "How are you feeling?" She looked at him and she could tell there was something he wasn't telling her. She looked over to Adam who mirrored his brother's worried expression.
"What aren't you two telling me?" Katie asked. She wanted an answer, but she needed to pee even more. "Crap" she turned back to Dean, who was already pointing toward the bathroom. She stood to her feet and ran to the bathroom.
"She's going to freak out" Adam said once Katie was gone. "When you tell her what happened, and what she did" Dean looked over to his brother.
"I know" Dean sighed. "But I can't just not tell her, we need to know if there's any effects" Adam nodded. Katie walked back out and stopped and they both turned to her.
"Crap" she said before turning and going back to the bathroom to pee again.
After doing her business Katie stands and wash's her hands when she suddenly hears the faint sound of chains clanging. She lifts her head and looks in the mirror and there standing behind her is Lucifer. She quickly whips around but there is no one there. She turns back to the mirror but nothing.
"What the hell?" Katie whispers. She dries her hand and walks out of the bathroom.
"Do you really think something could be wrong with her?" she heard Adam ask. She heard Dean sigh.
"I don't know, but we got to tell her" Dean said. "Just in case"
"Just in case what?" Katie asked startling both men. They turned to her. "What happened that you're not telling-" she stopped as she brought a hand to rub the back of her neck. She felt strange as if she were about to jump out of her own skin.
"Hey" Dean said standing to his feet and going over to her. He slipped a hand behind her. "What's wrong?" Everyone stopped when they heard a door open. They turned to see Sam walk from the basement. "Sam" Katie took a step toward him, but Dean grabbed her arm.
"Hey" Sam replied looking between the three faces. He looked around the house a bit. "Uh, where are we?"
That's how they all ended up sitting around the kitchen table.
"So this is your house?" Sam asked looking over to Dean.
"Nah" Dean replied looking down to the glass of orange juice that was sitting in front of him. He lifted his head and looked between the three faces of his family. "This is our house" he shrugs. "I figured we've gone long enough without a real home, and with a baby coming it's about time we had a place to call home"
"That was really… grown up of you" Sam replied and Dean chuckled.
"I know right" Dean said looking over to his brother. "So you're really ok, I mean you're walking and talking?"
"Yeah" Sam said grabbing his glass of juice. "I put my socks on and everything the whole nine"
"Well, that's uh... I mean you, uh, you sure you're okay?" Dean asked and they all looking over to the middle Winchester for any sign that something may be wrong. If Castiel really did tear that wall down then there's no telling what could be happening to him.
"Yeah." Sam said talking a sip of his juice. "My head hurts a little, but...basically."
"Really?" Katie asked and he looked over to her. "I mean I just have this feeling that something isn't right"
"With me?" Sam asked and she shrugged.
"With anything" Katie replied looking down to her hands. She felt weird and she didn't know why and she had a feeling that there were people at the table who could fill in some blanks for her. Sam looked over to Dean.
"She doesn't remember?" Sam asked and Dean shook his head. Katie looked between the two.
"Remember what?" Katie asked waiting for someone to finally come clean with her.
"You have to tell her" Sam said and Dean sighed loudly.
"Tell me what?" Katie asked.
"Don't you think I know that?" Dean asked looking over to his brother. Katie looked between them angry that they were completely ignoring her. "But we have to handle this carefully for the baby's sake"
"Handle what carefully?" Katie asked looking over to Dean. He glanced over to her before turning back to Sam.
"Dean you can't-"
Katie jumped to her feet and slammed her hands on the table and all of their glasses shattered juice spilling everywhere.
"Will you stop talking about me like I'm not sitting right here!" She snapped. The three men looked over to her a mixture of shock and fear. She looked down at the mess and realized that there was something wrong if she wasn't able to keep her powers in check. She turned her head and saw something she wouldn't believe if she hadn't seen it herself. She stepped away from the table and walked over to the door that led to the garage to see impala… or at least she thought was the impala. It was totally destroyed. She shakes her head and turns to her boys who remain quiet. "What happened to me?" She hears a whistling near her ears, and she closes her eyes sliding her fingers through her hair.
"Damnit!" she felt hands run through her hair. "Talk to me!" a hand slid against her back. "Damnit Katie, you can't leave me, say something!"
"Dean" Bobby's voice appeared. She'd recognized the gruff voice of the old hunter anywhere. "Oh God" he sounded worried. Bobby worried… that was something different.
"Is she-" Adam. Sweet, sweet Adam. He sounded scared.
Then Dean was whispering in her ear. What was he whispering… why couldn't she make it out?... And then she heard him.
"I love you princess" his lips pressed gently to her ear. "You're my life, you and this baby you're carrying, and I need you to wake up right now" she felt a warm tear fall on her ear and slide down her neck. "Just open your eyes princess" Her eyes snapped open and they were glowing a bright white.
"Maybe you are good for something" She said.
Katie's eyes snapped open and she was once again lying in bed. Her bed she figured. She sat to find Dean standing in front of her his eyes full of worry.
"What just happened?" Katie asked looking over to her husband. She was about to stand when he quickly moved over to her and gently pushing her back to the bed.
"No, don't get up" Dean said and Katie took his hand and his eyes came to hers.
"It came back didn't it?" Katie asked and she felt his hand tightened around her's. "The light, it came back" she placed a hand on the side of his face. "What did it do?"
"Dean!" Sam called and Katie closed her eyes and sighed. It seemed that every time she got closer to finding out the truth, she was interrupted. Dean glanced over his shoulder before turning back to Katie.
"How do you feel?" Dean asked and Katie looked at him for a moment. He was extremely worried, and for some reason he wouldn't tell her why.
"Fine I guess" She looked down placing her hands on her belly. "Kind of strange"
"Strange, how?" Dean asked and Katie looked back up to him.
"Dean, you might want to get down here!" Sam yelled and Dean growled.
"Just give me one second Sam!" Dean yelled over his shoulder before turning back to his wife. "What do you mean strange?"
"I don't know" she ran a hand through her hair. "I feel like something is off inside of me, I have no idea what?" Dean placed his hands on hers to calm her down. "And it doesn't help that no one is telling me-" she should've known it was going to happen. She was slowly losing control of everything. She brought her palm to the side of her head as a sharp pain seemed to hit her.
"You're wrong!" a voice echoes and Katie opens her eyes to finds that she's no longer in her bedroom, but in a church sitting in a crowd along a pew. Everyone's heads were turn and she followed their eyes to none other than Castiel. "I am utterly indifferent to sexual orientation. On the other hand, I cannot abide hypocrites like you, Reverend." It was the first time she seen him since he stabbed her in the back… literally. She wasn't that close but she was a good distance to see his face. He was different, as he took a step down the aisle She could make out the small blisters on his face. She turns to the reverend that stood behind his podium.
"Okay, fun's over friend." The Reverend said with a tight smile.
"Tell your flock where your genitals have been before you speak for me." Castiel said and Katie turned back to him. That's when she realized that he'd did it. He opened the door and now millions upon millions of souls were inside of him right now. So much power, she knew would inevitably lead to his end.
"And who the heck are you?" The Reverend asked.
"I'm God" Castiel replied and Katie watched every movement he made. He believed with every beam in his body those words that just came out of his mouth and that made him dangerous. That made him a threat. "And he who lies in my name shall choke on his own false tongue, and his poisonous words shall betray him." A man stands and looks over to the angel before falling down unconscious. Katie's eyes widen at the man's power when suddenly there is a gagging noise and everyone including Katie turns to see the Reverend choking as he falls on his knees dead.
"No" Katie says looking over to the reverend's still body. Her voice was almost a whisper as she turned back to the person she thought she knew, but now was a stranger.
"For I am the lord, your God" Castiel says before turning and walking toward the door. The there is a voice, almost a whisper.
"Castiel" Katie sees the angel flinch at the voice. She looks around and realized the she and the angel are the only two who hear the voice. "Cas!"
Suddenly her eyes snap open and she's back in her bedroom, Dean's eyes locked on hers as his hands grip her shoulders. Before any words can make their way out of her mouth she's off the bed and headed into the bathroom, in search of a toilet to stick her head in. She felt Dean's hand rubbing her back as the other held her hair from her face.
"Dean!" Sam yelled and Dean just shook his head.
"Not now Sam!" Dean yelled over his shoulder. "Can you stand?" Katie nodded and he helped her to her feet and over to the sink so she could splash her face with some water. He wrapped and arm around her waist as he helped her back to their bed. "What just happened?" Katie took deep breaths as she looked back over to Dean.
"It's Cas" Katie said. "He's-"
"Dean-" Sam stood at the bedroom door and Dean just closed his eyes in annoyance. He opened them and looked over his shoulder to his brother. "Look I'm sorry, but there's something-"
"Now's not a good time Sam" Dean said trying to control his anger.
"I get it, but this is about Cas" Sam said and Katie lifted her eyes to him. "We think we found him" Dean nodded and stood to his feet. Katie made to stand as well but Dean placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Stay here and get some rest" Dean said and Katie glared at him, But it was that look in his eyes that she could tell that he really didn't want to fight, that he was tired and nearing his end and all he wanted was for her to stay in this bed.
"Fine" Katie said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Call me if anything else happens, ok?" Dean says and Katie nods. He places a kiss on the top her head before turning and following his brother downstairs. Katie closes her eyes taking deep breaths. Laying her head back that's when it happened, she fell asleep.
Katie sat in a dark room when suddenly something bright appeared on the wall. It was like a movie that was just playing in front of her, being projected on the wall. She recognized Castiel and realized she was witnessing his tirade as a God. He was killing false religious leaders, and others he viewed as evil. Clip after clip of him killing. She closed her eyes not wanting to see anymore when she felt her chair spin around. She opened her eyes and there was another video playing on the other side. It was of Sam, and he was tied in chains screaming for his life. The sound of his screams were so loud that they seemed to be vibrating the room.
"Stop it" Katie said closing her eyes trying to will herself awake. All she heard was his screams for someone to help him, anyone to just help him. "Stop it please!" she wrapped her arms around herself. She wanted this to be over.
She finally jumped awake. She looked around the dark room and almost forgot where she even was. Throwing the covers from over her she stepped out of bed and walked over to the bathroom. Once inside she walked over and began filling the tub with water. Right now the only thing she wanted was a nice warm bath.
Katie sat in the tub letting the warm water was over her. In this moment she felt as if nothing existed outside of this room. She brought her hands to her stomach as she closed her eyes.
"It's you" Dean said looking down into the glowing eyes of his wife.
"It's me" She said with a smile as she stood to her feet. Straightening her clothes she looked up to see all eyes on her. "You do know it's rude to stare, don't you?"
"Where is she?" Dean asked standing to his feet. He knew the woman standing in front of him was not his wife, but something else, something he still didn't understand.
"She was just lying on the floor dying until I showed up" She replied. "So if I were you I'd sound a little more grateful"
"Ok, did I miss something?" Adam asked looking between his brother and Katie. "If that isn't Katie then- wait you're the light?"
"Ding ding" She said turning to Dean. "If you'll excuse me I have to do what she couldn't" and with that She was gone.
"Where did she go?" Adam asked when Dean just started running.
"I'm guess she's going after Cas" Bobby said turning and following after Dean, Adam right behind them.
Katie's eyes snapped open. Her suspicions were right, the light did take control, which is probably why she couldn't remember anything. What it didn't explain is why it felt like something was crawling around in her skin.
After her bath Katie wrapped a towel around herself and walked back into the bedroom. She stood there for a moment before spotting the closet. She walked over and wasn't surprised the it was filled with mostly women clothes. She really couldn't see Dean giving Lacey permission to buy his clothes. She looked around for something she would at least buy for herself, and settled on the black long sleeve NCIS shirt she must have gotten from Abby and a pair of jeans. She found a pair of sneakers and headed downstairs. When her feet touch the bottom of the stairs she stopped and wondered where everyone was. She turned her head when she heard voices. That's how she appeared outside of a room. The door was open, giving a clear view inside. It would seem Dean included an office that held book cases along the wall of their books. There was a desk, where Adam sat reading and a table where Sam sat looking at his lap top. She looked around the room, neither brother noticing her.
"Sweet room" Katie said stepping in and both Sam and Adam looked over to her. Both shared a look before turning back to her. Sam stood to his feet. "Don't, sit down I'm good"
"You sure?" Sam asked and Katie just nodded and he sat back down.
"So why are we in such heavy research mode?" Katie asked and neither said anything. Katie rolled her eyes. "Well I figure it's about Castiel and his little God crusade" she walked over to one of the book cases. "Yeah they've been playing on repeat in my old noggin"
"Do you-"
"Nope have no idea when, where or why" Katie said plucking a book from the shelf. "But that much power in him is driving him crazy, he's hearing voices"
"Voices?" Sam asked looking over to her.
"Yeah, I'm not sure all the souls are boding well for our dear angel" Katie said putting the book back on the case. "So I assume we're working on how to take down angel formally known as Cas"
"Any ideas?" Adam asked and Sam shot him a glare. "What?" Sam just shook his head.
"Look, we're good, you should be resting right, you had some really hectic days" Sam said and Katie turned around.
"I told you I'm fine, and it's not an I'm fine when I'm not, but it's an I'm fine because I really am" She said. "You're not going to find anything about stopping Castiel in any book, because what he's done has never happened before, and there is a reason"
"What's that?" Adam asked and Katie turned to him.
"That's the question you should be answering" Katie replied. "There have been many demons, angels, just people in general who wanted more power, hell even Lucifer, but opening purgatory never seemed to be an option, I think once we figure out the downside to this whole thing, we figure out how to bring Castiel back to earth" Katie turned back to Sam who seemed to be staring off into space. "Hey" she reached a hand to touch his, but to her surprise he moved away. She took a step back. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm good" Sam replied standing to his feet. "I'm going to go call Bobby and see if he's found out anything" And with that he walked out of the room. Katie watched as he left before turning to Adam who shrugged.
"He's been acting weird all day" Adam said. "But like yourself he says he's fine" Katie just rolled her eyes at the young man.
"Shut up" Katie replied. "Where's my husband?"
"Garage" Adam said before standing up and walking back to one of the book cases. Katie shook her head before turning and walking out of the room. She was heading down the hall when suddenly there were chains around her neck pinning her to the wall. She tried to scream, but no sound would pass through her lips. Reaching her hands to the chains she tried pulling free, but it was no use. She closed her eyes and in an instant, the chains were gone. Walking to a nearby mirror she looked over her neck, but there were no signs of the chains.
"Ok, what the hell was that?" Katie whispered. Shaking her head she turned and continued her search for her husband. She found him working under the hood of the impala, the radio on playing quietly in the corner. She leaned against the door frame and just watched him for a moment, before he finally noticed her. "Hi"
"Hey" he grabbed a towel and wiped his hands. He looked her over before bringing his eyes back to her. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I am" she replied taking a step toward him.
"You look like you're going somewhere" Dean said and Katie smiled.
"I am" she replied. "Both of us are"
"We are?" Dean asked tossing the towel aside. "And where exactly are we going?"
"You're taking me for a walk around the neighborhood" Katie replied and she could tell what he was thinking. "And I'm not taking no for an answer" she turned. "Get cleaned up and I'll meet you at the door" Dean just shook his head as he watched her walk away.
Katie stood by the door, her jacket open since she refused to buy another. It was her favorite jacket, so what it didn't fit, and she couldn't zip it up, It would again someday. She watched as Dean walked down the stairs.
"You guys going somewhere?" Sam asked looking between the two. Adam walked out just as the question was asked.
"For a walk" Katie answered.
"Is that a good idea?" Adam asked remember the last time the pair were outside, Katie was taken, something he didn't want to happen again.
"It's a great idea" Katie said with a smile. Adam just shook his head before turning to Dean.
"Dean-"
"Nope" Katie interrupted turning to Dean. "You got your gun?"
"Always" Dean replied and Katie smiled.
"And I have my powers, so we're good" Katie said turning back to Adam. "You're too young to get worry lines, we're just going around the block" She turned back to Dean and held out a hand. Dean took her hand and they couple walked out the door.
Katie looked around the quiet neighborhood as Dean held her hand. She turned and looked over to him, to see that he was scanning the area for any possible threats.
"Nice neighborhood" Katie said and Dean looked over to her.
"I know, which is one of the reasons why I chose it" Dean said. "This seems like a good place to raise a kid, huh?"
"Yeah" Katie sighed leaning against Dean's side as he wrapped and arm around her. "I still can't believe this is really happening, there's going to be a little me and you here soon"
"I'm still trying to wrap my head around it" Dean said. They continued their walk in a comfortable silence. "How you doing?"
"I'm good" Katie replied glancing up to him. "This is nice. With everything that is happening sometimes it's just nice to have a quiet moment alone with my husband"
"I know what you mean" Dean replied placing a kiss on top of her head. Dean felt her shiver and looked down to her. "Wasn't there a coat in the closet?"
"Yeah, but this is my favorite jacket" Katie replied and Dean just shook his head.
"You can't even zip it up, and it's October" Dean replied and Katie scoffed. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. "We're going back home"
"You know, that has a nice ring to it" Katie said and Dean just chuckled. They walked until they were standing in front of the house. Katie stopped and Dean looked over to her. She just stared up at the house and smiled.
"It's something isn't it?" Dean asked and Katie turned to him, that smile never leaving her face.
"Yeah, it's-" her smile fell.
"Am I interrupting something?" Katie asked and three pair of eyes were on her. She stood, watching Castiel, Raphael in his female vessel , and Crowley.
"Of course it's you" Crowley said looking over to her.
"Enough of these games, Castiel." Raphael snapped looking over to his brother. "Give us the blood."
"You- Game's over. His jar's empty." Katie turned and noticed the empty chalice in the angel's hand. "So, Castiel, how'd your ritual go? Better than ours, I'll bet." The angel ignores him and closes his eyes.
"Oh, no you don't" Katie says running over and bringing her arms around the angel as a bright light comes from him, filling the entire room.
"Katie!" Dean yells as he, Adam and Bobby run into the room.
"Katie!" Dean yells bringing his hands to her shoulders. Katie blinks and finds that she is now sitting on the couch in the living room, three sets of worried eyes on her.
"Dean" Katie says before her eyes went wide. She finally realizes why she was having such weird feelings. "They're inside of me" she stood to her feet. "Why didn't you tell me!?"
"Princess-"
"NO!" she walked past him. She needed- she didn't know what she needed. "This could be hurting me or our baby!" she shook her head and turned to them. "One of you should have said something!"
"Look we're sorry, we just thought-"
"I don't care what you thought Sam, I care about the safety of this baby inside of me, and there are things inside of me that shouldn't be there" Katie shook her head and turned around.
"But there haven't been any signs" Dean said and Katie turned to him. "Have there?" Katie shook her head before turning and walking upstairs.
"Dean-" Adam started but Dean was already heading upstairs.
"Urim!" Katie called as she paced the room. "Please I need to talk you like now!" Dean walked into the room. Katie glanced over to him before looking back up to the ceiling. "Urim!"
"The house is protected" Dean said. "She can't-"
"What's wrong?" they both turned to see Urim standing there. Dean looked over to her surprised. One of the main things he made sure of was that this house was protected from angels, demons and everything in between.
"How are you here?" Dean asked and the angel looked over to him.
"Well your wife has a way of bending spells at will" Urim replied before turning back to Katie. "so, once again what's wrong"
"Do you know what happened?" Katie asked and the angel sighed.
"You mean what happened with you and my brother?" Urim asked. "Yes, I am aware"
"And you didn't think to tell me either!' Katie snapped as she began pacing again. "Now souls that were trapped in freaking purgatory are inside of me" she shook her head as she continued ranting. "I can't believe no one thought to at least tell me"
"There's nothing to tell" Urim said and Katie turned to her. "They're not inside of you"
"What?" Katie and Dean asked in unison.
"C'mon you can't believe that after everything, my father isn't still protecting you" Urim replied. "His blood runs through you, which is what protected you from taking on any of the souls" Katie sighed in relief. "It also is probably the only way to get through to my brother"
"What do you mean?" Dean asked.
"Well he drank her blood" Urim replied looking over to Katie. "The connection between the two of you is stronger than before"
"That's why I can see his God cleanses the world tour?" Katie asked and Urim nodded. "How do I use that?"
"I'm not sure" Urim looked up to the ceiling. "Look I must go, things up there are a little more chaotic than usual, as you may imagine" Katie nodded.
"Go, and if you find out anything, let us know" Katie replied. Urim nodded before disappearing. Katie turned back to Dean who looked back to her.
"I'm sorry, I should've told you" Dean said and Katie took a step to stand in front of him.
"Yes, you should've" Katie replied. "Look Dean I know what you were trying to do, but when it comes to the safety of our baby, the baby comes first always, no questions alright?" She moved to walk past him, but he blocked her.
"Where are you going?" Dean asked.
"You heard her, I might be able to get through to him" Katie said.
"Yeah, I heard her" Dean replied. "But like you said when it comes to the safety of this baby, the baby comes first, and whenever you and Cas are in the same room together he tries to kill you, so no this isn't happening"
"You have a better idea?" Katie asked folding her arms over her chest.
"Actually I do" Dean replied and Katie rolled her eyes.
Katie sat on the bed in their bedroom. Apparently this was the safest place for her and the baby. She should've known he would use her words against her. Katie shook her head before looking down to her stomach. She couldn't explain the relief she felt knowing that none of those souls were inside of her. She still didn't understand why she touched him anyways.
She looked up when the door opened and appeared her husband.
"So do I get in on the plan now?" Katie asked folding her arms over her chest.
"We're going to bind death" Dean replied and Katie snorted.
"I'm sorry you're going to what?" Katie asked. "You're going to enslave death, how do you think that's going to work out for you?"
"Well we tried to think of who could possible beat Cas, and he's the only one who comes to mind" Dean said. "I mean he goes on about how he's older that God, so we figure he's pretty powerful"
"He is" Katie replied. "But he really doesn't like having a leash around his neck either, I mean that's why he helped with the whole Lucifer ordeal" she shrugged. "Then again Cas is coming in messing with the order of things, and Death will not be happy about that"
"Hopefully we can come to some type of an agreement" Dean replied and Katie nodded.
"So what do you need me to do?" Katie asked.
"Send me and Sam to Bobby's" Dean replied and Katie waited for him to say something else.
"And then…?"
"And then nothing else" Dean said. "You've had way too much excitement princess, so yeah we're benching you for this round"
"You do know you're not the boss of me, don't you?" Katie asked. "You seem to always forget that" Dean just sat on the edge of the bed next to her. "Fine, I'll stay here"
"Thank you" Dean pressed a kiss to her lips, and once again they didn't want to part. Katie brought her hands to his chest, pulling him closer to her. The moment was perfect, and as always the moment was cut short.
"Hey-" Sam said walking in, and stopping in his tracks. "Sorry, I should've knocked"
"You think!" Dean snapped turned to his brother. Dean stood to his feet. "We're definitely going to have to start locking that door."
"So everything set?" Sam asked and Dean turned to Katie.
"Depends on if you guys are ready to go" Katie said. Dean and Sam shared a glance and nodded before turning back to her. "Ok" she sighed sitting up straighter in the bed. "Well be care with Cas, and Death, because he's going to be pissed" they nodded and with a wave of her hand they were gone. Katie closed her eyes and sighed. She couldn't help but feel that there was more happening.
"You're right" Katie's eyes snapped open to the new voice. And there sitting at the foot of the bed crossed legged looking back at her was a familiar little girl. A little who seemed to be wearing a pink dress. "There is more happening"
"You?" Katie asked looking over to the girl. "What are you doing here?"
"My name is not 'You' it's Lux" the girl said."What do you mean, I never leave you" the girl replied. "I am your light, the best gift anyone can be given" she laughed. "Oh, and you let me off the leash so I'm pretty much doing what I want"
"What you want?" Katie asked. "And what exactly is that?"
"I am going to clean up your mess" Lux replied. "You were given chance after chance to take care of this rogue angel and you let him go"
"He's-" Katie tried to find the words. The truth was, she's was right. "He was-"
"He was the angel who sent crazy witch's to try and turn you, he's the angel who turned your friends into demons to kill you, he's the angel who made you disappear from existence, and then stabbed you in the back when you offered to help him" Lux shook her head. "The person you think he is died a long time ago, and now the only thing walking around is a time bomb"
"What are you talking about?" Katie asked and the girl rolled her eyes.
"You assumed it was all about souls, but it wasn't" the girl said. "Our father created purgatory for a whole different reason" Katie stared at the girl for a moment before it hit her.
"The leviathans" Katie whispered bringing a hand to her mouth. "Did they get out?"
"Well the door was opened, who you think would be the first things out of there" the girl replied. "Plus you know they're out, you heard them" Katie looked back to her.
"The voices" Katie said remembering her vision of Cas from the church. "They want out"
"Yeah, and soon their wish is going to be granted" Lux replied. "That reason you were looking for, for why no one has ever tried this, well this is it" the girl stood to her feet. "This is why I'm here, to clean up your mess"
"No, it's time for you to get back under control" Katie said and the girl laughed.
"You think you can stop this?" Lux asked. "C'mon every battle you've won was because of me" the girl stepped in front of Katie. "Plus you're wounded, that baby in your stomach is the equivalent to a wounded knee, it holds you back"
"I will not let you-"
"Let me?" Lux said and before Katie knew it, the girl was grabbing her arm. The room fell silent and Katie's eyes opened glowing. "I'm the one in the driver's seat, so sit back and shut up" there was a knock at the door and Lux looked up as Adam walked in.
"Hey, is everything alr-" he stood frozen when he saw her eyes. "No"
"Yes" she said standing to her feet. She walked over to stand in front of him. "You know what I've noticed, you're smart, always asking the right questions, always have your eyes open, I usually work alone, but I could use someone like you"
"Where is she?" Adam asked and Lux rolled her eyes.
"She's in here" the girl replied. "She's bitching, but she's safe"
"What do you want?" Adam asked.
"I want my own vessel, but our father saw it fit to stick me in her" Lux replied. "Don't worry I know my place, but I also know that there is a whole world of trouble headed our way if I do not take care of our Castiel problem" she held out her hand. "So are you in or out?" Adam looked down at her hand at a loss for what to do. He looked back up to her eyes. "C'mon Addy, help me save the world"
A/N: What is Lux going to do? I guess we will find out in our next chapter. As always, thanx for reading!
