CHAPTER 20
3rd Person POV, Juniper's POV, & Dean's POV
Brownie points to anyone who translates that title, because I love giving brownie points.
3rd Person POV
The throne room was still and silent, and in the glorious throne sat none other but the King of Hell. Crowley was the name. He propped his chin up on one hand, waiting.
The large doors on the opposite side of the room opened with a creak, and Crowley sat up expectantly. An unimportant, practically unknown demon came in, leading another, much more important demon into the room.
A crossroad demon. He stepped close to the throne, as close as he dared, leaving the other demon standing behind him. Crowley sat tall and proud, ready to bark out orders.
"I have a specific soul I'd like you to collect." Crowley started, and the crossroad demon nodded in silence. "Her name is Juniper Evelyn."
The crossroad demon's eyes widened. He knew the name. Crowley smiled knowingly. The King watched his puny pawn squirm on the spot, unable to make his own move, controlled by the all-knowing hand above him.
"You will come when she summons for a crossroad demon, and you will do what she asks. But, there's one thing that I need, specifically..." Crowley continued. "She gets one year. No matter how much time she asks for... One year."
The demon shuffled from foot to foot in anticipation, but nodded. Crowley smirked and leaned back in his throne.
"Aren't you excited?" The king asked. "She's all the talk. And after this, you will be all the talk."
Juniper's POV
The air in the Impala was stale, stifling, suffocating. I noticed with a bitter smirk that, with half of my windows shattered, there was no need to roll one down. Having broken windows wasn't lessening the stillness in the air anyway.
I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white, though the car was still parked. My grip on the wheel was currently my only tether to reality.
Jade was in the back seat. Her blood and the shattered glass from my broken windows were painful reminders of the day's events. I wasn't sure how long I'd been sitting here, wondering what the hell I was going to do, how I was going to do anything after what had happened...
With a scream full of bottled up desperation that had finally popped off its cap, I slammed my fists against the steering wheel. It was the only way I could think to let out some of the anger. Once the wave of pure, harsh emotions passed, though, I pressed my forehead against the wheel and closed my eyes.
"Jade, what do I do?" I asked, but she obviously wasn't going to answer. "Please, tell me what to do..."
The silence that followed was deafening, and it made me squeeze my eyes shut even tighter.
