The Lonely Wanderer

Friendly Faces

I felt the bullet leave my body.  I was surprised that the impact of the bullet hadn't knocked me down.  But I guess it was better that way.  Then they could see what they were really up against.

I looked first at Dean, then down at my chest, where I saw red blood trickling down.  "That wasn't very nice Dean."

Sam turned to look at me and at the blood that was starting to soak into my shirt.  "Why is your blood red?  Shouldn't it be blue?"

I sighed.  "When I change my appearance to that of a human, my blood changes as well."

Sam nodded his head.  Dean just stared at me with hate in his eyes.  I had expected that from him.  Bobby grabbed the gun from Dean's hand.  "Idjit.  Haven't you learned not to shoot someone that's trying to help you?"

Dean looked at Bobby.  "She is not a someone.  She's not even a person.  She's a monster.  And somehow she's manipulated you to think that she won't turn on you."

I walked over to Dean and stared into his eyes.  "I won't turn on him...or Sam...or even you for that matter, Dean."

Dean shook his head.  "I don't trust you."

I nodded.  "I know but I'm not out to get you."

Dean snorted.  "Of course the Queen of the leviathans wants to help the hunters that are trying to send the others back to Purgatory."

I shrugged.  "They were sent there for a reason."

Suddenly I felt another presence in the room...an angelic presence.  I turned to look behind me and saw an attractive man in a trenchcoat carrying a bag of honey.

Sam saw him, smiled, and said, "Meara, this is the angel Castiel.  Cas, this is Meara.  I don't think the two of you have ever met."

I laughed.  "Of course we've met Sam.  Castiel just didn't have that vessel at the time."

Cas looked at me and frowned.  "I don't recall meeting you."

I looked down at my human body.  "I also didn't have this body."

Cas suddenly smiled at me.  "Are you the one that made the beautiful cabin in the woods?"

I smiled back at him.  "Yes I am."

"Well I thoroughly enjoyed looking at it."

I nodded.  "Thanks."

Cas tilted his head slightly to the right.  "Dean, have you seen Meg?"

Dean shook his head.  "No Cas I haven't."

Cas spun around in a circle.  "Well she said she would meet me here."

He was definitely different from the last time I had talked to him, which had been shortly after Lucifer fell.

I looked at Cas.  "I'm sure she's on her way Cas."

Cas looked at me and his blue eyes seemed to pierce my soul.  "You seem familiar.  Are you an angel?"

I laughed and looked up at the ceiling before looking back at him.  "No...far from it."

Just then, a woman with dark brown hair appeared right next to Cas.

She turned to him.  "I see you made it here Clarence."

I smiled at her pet name for Cas.  I didn't know what the name was from but it was nice to see Cas with someone that cared about him.  He deserved it.

Next she turned to me and I saw her true face...her demon face.  "Hey Meara.  I didn't think that you would be here."

I went over and hugged her.  "Hey Meg.  It's good to see you again."

She hugged me back for a moment before pushing me away.  "It's been a long time."

I nodded.  "Yes it has.  You're looking good...for a demon."

Meg smiled.  "You're looking good for a million year old leviathan.  Although I must say, that's not the way I remember you."

I shrugged.  "I learned some tricks in my million years of life."

Sam and Dean stared at Meg and me in shock.  Sam asked, "You two know each other?"

Meg nodded.  "Jealous?"

Sam shook his head.  "Definitely not."
