Sorry about the non-update last week. Last Thurs. was my birthday and I didn't get around to editing this chapter like I wanted to. I'm back now though and, at the end I'll give you all a little something to whet your appetite with until I update next. I hope you are all enjoying the story as I'm posting and now here is chapter 14. Enjoy. :)
She was calling to him again. Just an hour ago, the singing in the back of his mind began to get louder, more incessant. Sam tried to fight it off but the notes kept coming at him like some kind of mental battering ram. While he was sitting, his body shivering in the corner with his head in his hands trying to remember the lyrics to one of the songs off of Dean's tapes, the door to his little room was opened and something was thrown inside before it was shut again. He didn't move to see what it was but the smell of the object wafted through Sam's nose. He tried plugging it up but it was too late.
He raised his head to look and, lying prone on the floor, was the broken body of a young girl. She appeared to be only unconscious but all Sam could concentrate on was how hungry he felt in her presence. Sam crawled on his hands and knees to sit beside the small body. She couldn't have been older than fifteen. He watched as a single tear fell from her eye signaling that there was still life in the body despite the deep laceration to her throat. She opened her eyes, revealing them to be a light honey brown and Sam could no longer help himself. He brought his mouth down against the cut and began to drink, sucking in the sweet liquid deeply until she was drained totally dry.
"That's a good boy..." the formerly singing voice said joyfully.
Castiel and Bobby, upon their sudden arrival to Eve's hide out, stood before the building sizing it up.
"How big is it from the inside?" Castiel asked taking stock.
"Big."
Castiel looked at Bobby, really looked at him and frowned. "Very well," Castiel said turning back.
There was thankfully no angel-warding magic on the building but that was probably because the angels had all but vanished for the last year. No barrier's holding him back today.
"Shall we go inside and reintroduce ourselves?" Castiel asked, running up the steps and putting his hand on the doorknob. He turned and waited for Bobby to join him but the man remained behind.
"I'm not sure about this, Castiel. Eve's in there and…" Bobby said, his face white as a sheet.
Castiel walked back down and put his hands on Bobby's shoulders, holding them tightly before saying, "You can do this Bobby. Now, I need someone by my side and there is no one else I trust, can trust, more than you. I will not allow Eve to take you back so easily without a fight. Help me rescue Sam, please?"
Bobby looked Castiel in the eyes and nodded. "Let's roll."
Castiel gave him a pat on the shoulder and together they walked up the steps and walked right inside.
"Why were the doors unlocked?" Castiel asked as the door shut behind him.
"Well if that isn't already a bad sign on this mission... Come on, I can smell Sam nearby. God, do I hate this…"
With Bobby leading the way, Castiel followed as they walked down a dark hall full of closed doors and flickering lights. His curiosity getting the better of him, Castiel couldn't help but look through one of the windows on one of the doors. It appeared to be simply an empty room with a cot in the corner; the walls were white and made of stone. Simple. Until suddenly the head of a woman appeared in the window, screeching and gnashing a mouth full sharp teeth. Castiel couldn't help but jump back and away.
"Avoid looking into the rooms, son," Bobby said and continued on his way.
Castiel looked back at the woman once more to see a sudden line of feathers on wings smacking the window. So, Eve appeared to be making Harpies. It'd been ages since he'd seen one of those walking the earth.
"Cas, down here."
Castiel got back on his feet and walked down to the end of the hall looking straight ahead, ignoring the rest of the doors. Bobby gave the door another sniff before nodding.
"He's in here," Bobby said putting his hand on the knob and pulling it away to reveal a scorched imprint on his palm. Castiel examined the injury before touching Bobby's hand and healing him.
"The knob must be made of silver. Avoid touching it again," Castiel said before touching it himself and turning it.
The door opened with a crunching sound and slowly Castiel walked inside before he blocked Bobby with his outstretched arm. Sitting pushed against the farthest corner with his head bowed down, Sam Winchester sat as still as a painting, red liquid dripping in slow drops from his face.
"Sam?" Castiel asked carefully, "Are you well?"
No one moved for several seconds until slowly Sam raised his head. Heavily, he said, "Cas, I'm sorry. I couldn't help it."
"It's all right, Sam," Castiel said, entering the room fully and coming to sit by his friend's side, running his hand through Sam's hair in an attempt to soothe him, "I understand."
"Cas, she's got..." Sam began to say but was interrupted by -
"Well, well..."
Castiel turned himself around as Sam crouched down further, rubbing his hand against his temples as though in agony. Eve was standing in the doorway, Bobby beside her and not making any moves to stop her path.
"Castiel - as I live and breathe."
"Eve."
Castiel stood and as he walked towards her he could feel a wave of heat against his back. From the corner of his eyes, he could see the shadows of his wings flickering against the walls, large and beautiful.
"I see you've learned some new tricks," Eve said, slithering closer to him and touching him on the cheek. "I could use someone like you on my side."
Castiel didn't say anything as he raised his hand to Eve's throat. He began to squeeze and Eve smiled.
"I wouldn't do that," she sing-songed.
"Why?" Castiel asked before something from behind him smashed him on the back of the head. He was down and out before he could see what happened.
Bobby assisted Eve back to her feet after she had fallen and she stroked his face before turning to her savior, Sam, and giving him a kiss on the forehead.
"Thank you son."
Putting a hand to his chest, Sam said, "Anything for you, Mother."
They all stared down at the unconscious angel and finally Eve said with a heavy sigh, "Grab him, Sam and follow me."
Sam picked his friend up off the ground and followed Eve out the door with Bobby following them to another room. Sam dropped Castiel on one of the cots and the three of them left him there to wait until he woke up so they could deal with him the only way their Mother taught them how.
Thank you so much for reading. And now a little something for next time (see you all soon hopefully):
Mother led her Chimera down the long hallway until they stopped by a closed door with a number eighty-five above the window. Mother stepped away and Chimera waited a few seconds before looking inside. There was a man lying on a cot unconscious.
