Fathered By A Vampire- Part 1: The Vampire Child Series

Chapter 7- We Meet Again

WARNINGS: Mentions of Child Neglect and Child Endangerment

The next week rolled around quickly, and Sam was shuffling Dean into the impala. Castiel was planning to meet them there. Dean sighed and got in the passenger seat since Sam insisted on driving. He closed his eyes and let Sam take the wheel while he took a short nap.

Stefan was setting up the Mystic Grill with Caroline's help when Klaus walked in.

"Stefan, miss me," Klaus asked, taking a seat.

"Not today, Klaus," Stefan said, "We're busy..."

"Does this have to do with the son that showed up here last week," Klaus asked, intrigued by what took place while he was away, "How is Damon, anyway? Have his son and he played catch in the yard yet?"

Klaus laughed at his own joke as Stefan threw him a look of irritation. Alaric walked in as well.

"I got the bourbon... Why is he here," Alaric asked, pointing at Klaus.

"We're still trying to figure that part out," Stefan sassed, "Last I knew, Klaus wasn't invited."

"I'm curious," Klaus shrugged, "Not every day you see a vampire with his biological son in one place. I want to see how long it'll take before Damon attempts to rip his throat out."

Stefan grumbled under his breath and continued setting up. It wasn't like they could escort Klaus out if they wanted to. He was an original and they were... Well, they weren't strong enough to face off an original hybrid, that's for sure. That's when Castiel walked inside. He quickly scanned the faces present before going up to Stefan.

"Stefan Salvatore," Castiel said, making him look up.

"Can I help you," Stefan asked.

"I was told to come here," Castiel said, "My name is Castiel. I'm with Sam and Dean..."

"Oh, nice to meet you," Stefan said, shaking his hand, "Are you a hunter as well?"

"Sort of," Castiel said, "I'm actually an angel..."

Everyone currently in their presence turned to look at Castiel. Stefan cleared his throat and set down the plate in his hands.

"I'm sorry, you're a what," Stefan asked.

"An angel," Castiel repeated, glancing at the faces while wondering if he said anything wrong, "Why? Is there something wrong with that?"

"Well, I've never met an angel before," Stefan said, "How do you know Sam and Dean again?"

"We're close friends," Castiel said, "Very close friends. Is Dean's father, yet?"

"He's currently at home, getting ready," Stefan said, giving a subtle hint of nervousness, "So Sam and Dean are friends with angels as well?"

"Well one," Castiel said, "That's me. Most others tolerate them. Except for Gabriel, he seems to be rather fond of them more than the rest."

"Gabriel is an angel like you," Stefan asked.

"Oh, no," Castiel chuckled, "I'm a lower-rank angel. Gabriel is an archangel..."

Klaus laughed in amusement, making Castiel turn to him.

"Sorry, it's just this is foolishness," Klaus scoffed, "You? An angel? That doesn't make sense. Also close friends with Sam and Dean? How much did they pay you to play this part, huh?"
