Mercy ▷ DEAN WINCHESTER

SEVEN

VIOLET AND THE Winchester's were currently in Alliance, Nebraska working a case – as per usual. This case wasn't as simple as the other cases they'd solved during the past few weeks however.

It had all started when a young boy put itching powder in his babysitter's hairbrush. The boy thought nothing of it until the girl ended up scratching her brains out. It was strange and the three hunters knew for sure that there was a case in the town, they just didn't understand exactly what was happening.

Secondly, a man was attacked by the tooth fairy – very strange and overly creepy. The tooth fairy – which had been described as a very odd looking older man with a neon pink tutu – had extracted all of the man's teeth.

Then there was the guy that had been electrocuted by a joy buzzer – not exactly a joy now.

And finally, a bunch of kids were taken to hospital with stomach ulcers after mixing pop rocks and coke.

It took the three a very long while to figure things out, but eventually they managed to get the gist of what was happening. It turned out that an eleven-year-old boy named Jesse Turner was the reason for everything that was happening in the town. Everything that the boy believed became a reality.

It all sounded ludicrous and so Violet and the Winchester's began to delve into more research about the young boy and the case. They soon found out that Jesse was adopted and that his mother lived across state. After going to pay her a visit they received the shock of a lifetime when they were informed that Jesse was in fact, the antichrist.

Castiel was the one that had provided the three with this information – except that he had called Jesse a Cambion which he stated was simply another word for the antichrist.

Jesse's mother, Julia, was possessed before she became pregnant. As a demon resided in her throughout the course of her pregnancy this resulted in Jesse being born half demon and half human; hence the antichrist was born.

According to Castiel, Jesse's powers were unlimited and because of this, this made him a person of interest to Lucifer. The boy could be used as the fallen angel's secret weapon – essentially being the weapon in a war against Heaven. Because of this, Castiel stated that Jesse needed to be dealt with accordingly.

In this matter, it meant that the boy was to be eliminated.

Of course, Violet and the Winchester's didn't agree with Castiel, but it didn't matter because the angel had disappeared. The three hunters were then left alone in the motel whilst he had gone to deal with Jesse. The three were all furious but they didn't have the time to complain about the situation, they simply had to act upon it.

It didn't take them very long to get to Jesse's house, and when they did Sam and Dean wasted no time in kicking down the front door. They didn't seem to care that it would alert everyone in the household as well as neighbours if they were paying attention.

As the three hunters bundled inside they were greeted with a blank expression from Jesse who simply continued to stare at them – despite them breaking into his house.

"Was there a guy here? In a trench coat?" Dean asked hurriedly.

Jesse said nothing and instead pointed at the floor where there appeared to be an action figure that resembled Castiel. It didn't take very long for the three to realise that it was Castiel and that Jesse must have left him in his current state.

Dean took a few steps towards the Castiel action figure and picked it up, examining it for a moment before hastily placing it on the mantelpiece behind him.

"Was he your friend?" Jesse asked Dean who still had his eyes fixated on the Castiel action figure.

Dean cautiously gazed at both Violet and Sam before quickly shaking his head. "Him? No."
