Chapter 16 - In Search of a Lamb
Lucifer was back on the battle field an instant later. The few humans left were hiding behind the newly arrived angels. Led by Zacharias, they were slaughtering his demons; none of the angels had a single scratch on them.
Castiel was pulling his blade out of a demon and exorcising another. Their eyes met and Lucifer waved Castiel over as if the cries of death didn’t fill the air. Castiel killed another demon with his blade and then appeared right in front of Lucifer.
The point of the silvery blade pressed into the flesh just under Lucifer’s sternum.
“Where did you take him?” Castiel pushed the blade into Lucifer’s bare skin.
“Away from here. Brother, don’t you trust me?”
Damn it, Lucifer! Dean is dying and you’re going to kill him! Sam raged inside Lucifer’s mind.
“I haven’t trusted you since that day. Filthy and undeserving of Father’s love,” Castiel spat.
“You think I want that now? You think that is what this is all about? I don’t want Father’s love. It’s useless! He doesn’t really care about all this nonsense anymore.”
“Brother! Ha, tell me this isn’t a cry for attention and I will drive this blade through your chest right now.” Lucifer felt Castiel’s blade pierce his delicate, human skin. Castiel scowled; it was more emotion than he had ever shown before.
“No, you won’t,” Lucifer grinned.
What the fuck are you doing! Sam growled.
Shut up.
“Where is he? Where is Dean?”
Lucifer laughed. “What if I tell you he is dead? What will you do then?”
Castiel flinched; “He is not dead. Your games don’t work anymore. I saw your face when you took him. If you had wanted to kill him you would have already and there would be no reason to talk to me.”
I’ll do it. Move over! Sam took control and Lucifer suddenly found himself sitting backseat in what was supposed to be his body. The blood red drained from his eyes and Sam looked out at the angel. Lucifer felt his body tire under Sam’s control. Sam hadn’t been in full control of his own body in a long time and the effort it took burdened Sam.
“Please Castiel, I know where he is but I can’t take you there, I don’t know how he does it. Please, he is dying and I can’t lose him again. You don’t understand; it’s me Sam.” Their eyes drooped and Sam reached out for Castiel to support himself.
The angel’s blade fell an inch. “Sam?”
Lucifer grabbed Sam and took control before they fell over completely. Castiel half reached out to catch them when Lucifer pulled back. His red eyes returned but he could tell that Castiel saw the struggle between Lucifer and Sam.
Can’t fucking stay put! Lucifer mentally attacked Sam. A cry escaped Lucifer’s lips as Sam’s screams reverberated around Lucifer’s thoughts. You are going to get us killed! And if you don’t care about that, you are going to get Dean killed as well! Stop being an idiot.
Lucifer returned his focus on the world around him, trying to ignore the whimpering issuing from the back of his mind. “Where were we?”
Castiel’s blade stabbed a little deeper into Lucifer’s bare chest. All Castiel needed to do was thrust the blade upward into Sam’s heart and they would both be dead at Castiel’s hand. But Lucifer knew that he couldn’t do it, not without knowing where Dean was. “Dean’s location, now.”
“It all depends on you,” Lucifer muttered cryptically.
“And what the hell do you mean by that?” Lucifer could see Castiel contemplating whether to kill Lucifer now or to get to Dean.
“Can you save him,” Lucifer asked.
“I… What happened to Dean?” Castiel growled in anger.
“He was wounded by my general, Beelzebub. I took him away from battle and Jo stitched him up but I don’t think he will make it much longer.” Lucifer clenched his teeth, “He needs your help, brother.”
Indecision was tearing Castiel apart. The angel stepped away from Lucifer. He glanced back to the angels still fighting and then back at Lucifer. “Take me to him!”
Sam sighed in relief. Thank you.
“Brother,” Lucifer held out his hand for Castiel to take. The angel didn’t hesitate when he laid his palm in Lucifer’s hand. The bar materialized around them.
Lucifer saw Jo holding Dean, leaning over him. No, we can’t be too late.
“Dean!” Jo, Sam, Lucifer and Castiel’s voice became one cry ringing hauntingly through the room.
Lucifer and Sam rushed over to Dean, pushing Jo aside and taking Dean’s face in their hands. It was as much Sam as Lucifer in the movement.
