Under His Wing: The Goddess War (Book Three)

Chapter 8- Black Flurry

  It's been a month since the fight to stop Callie's nightmares. Cas finally recovered, and nothing too strange has happened just yet. Callie is beginning to understand more about your past with Sam, Dean, and Cas, and how you all do what you do.
  Callie is at the bunker with the boys so that you and Cas could have some time together.

"Y/n..." Cas calls from the kitchen. You peek our head through the doorway.
"Yeah?" You ask softly, he points at the refrigerator door, there was a little family portrait hanging there, drawn by Callie of course.
"What's this?" He asks. You stand next to him.
"Callie's plead for us to get her a dog..." you say, looking at the little puppy Callie had drawn next to herself.
He tilts his head. "Well... yeah, but... who's that?" He questions, pointing at another man in the picture.
"That's Tod, the man I'm supposed to fall in love with after I meet him on the sidewalk while walking our new dog... Says Callie." You smile. He pauses, not knowing what to say.
"Uh- You know what, I'm just gonna go back to the office." He shakes his head, you pat his shoulder.
"You do that, love." You giggle, grabbing a juice box from the fridge for yourself. You grab the car keys off of the counter.
  Peeking your head into the office door, you whisper to Cas.
  "I'm gonna go for a drive, be home in a bit.". He nods. You get in the car and drive downtown towards the market place, mainly to clear your mind; and get groceries.
  You walk for about an hour, window shopping in and out of all of the little stores, even those Spanish stores with names you couldn't understand.
  You begin to feel your phone buzzing in your pocket. Picking it up, you see that it's from Cas and answer.
  "Hey babe, what's up?" You ask.
"Are you ok?" He asks.
  "Uh- Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" You question, stopping at the corner and covering your other ear with your hand to hear him better.
"I had the news on, there was a 'mass attack' downtown, where are you?" He queries.
  "The market place, Liberty Plaza...". You tell him, there's a pause on the other line. "Get back to the car now." He says. You suddenly hear a whirl of screams arise from about two blocks behind you.
  Quickly hanging up, you sprint to your car, the heels of your boots clacking as they hit the pavement with a hard thud. Your shoes underneath you slide as you turn a sharp corner, and you hear multiple ear-piercing bangs echo from behind you. You unlock your car and jump inside, catching your breath. You call Cas back.
  "I'm in the car, get here. I'm in the parking lot in front of the Edison, downtown, row B19." You say, he quickly appears in the passengers seat.
  You were still panting as you look over at him.
  "What kind of attack are we talking about- people or something supernatural?" You ask him. Out of no where, you both gaze infront of you. Crowds were still roaring like thunder as they ran in every direction, but a thick black smoke began to shoot out like tubes from behind the building, making their way towards you.
"Does that answer your question?" He looks at you, you roll your eyes.
  "It answers this-" you begin, putting the car in reverse and spiraling out of your parking spot, quickly speeding past the cars near you, probably breaking laws as well, Cas grabs your arm as he was first startled by you crazed driving.
"Where are we going?" He asks you, looking impatiently at the black smoke racing forwards from behind you.
  "The bunker." You say, stepping on the gas even harder and heading for the highway.

  2 Hours Later

  You and Cas walk into the bunker, Sam and Callie were at the table playing go fish with tiaras on, Dean was at the laptop with a stack of books next to him.
"Uh-oh..." Dean looks up.
  "We've got a problem..." you say, plopping your keys on the table and taking a seat, Sam slides you a beer.
"Are you ok?" Callie looks at Cas, he gives her a kiss on the forehead and sits next to her.
  "We're fine munchkin." You tell her.
"Well, would you care to inform." Sam waits.
"Demons... A whole swarm of them broke out downtown." Cas says.
"Do you think it has something to do with what's been going on?" Sam asks, you nod.
  "How could it not be? All those demons showing up right where I was, that doesn't seem like a coincidence..." you crack your beer open and take a sip.
"What is Crowley doing? How could he let something that big slip between his fingers?" Cas asks, you think for a moment.
  "What if he couldn't control it, or even, what if he doesn't even know it happened yet?" You look at the boys.
"Well if he didn't, he does now, cause' I just texted him..." Dean announces.
"Is Luke ok?" Callie asks Cas, he looks at you.
"I'll call Sandy." You reply, standing up and walking around the corridors of the bunker as your phone rang, she answers.
"Hey, are you guys ok?" You ask through the phone.
"I think we'll be, the news said to take cover so we're in the basement now... Do you know what happened?" She questions, you scratch your head.
"Uhm, I do- but you'd think I'm crazy..." you trail off.
"I'll leave this conversation for another time then?.." she suggests, you agree.
  "Just hang low for now, when this whole thing blows over I'll stop by with Callie, hopefully I can shed some light by then." You say.
  You end the call and meet the boys and Callie back at the table, Crowley standing at the end of it.
"What I mean is that I don't bloody know what happened you twit!" Crowley argues with Dean.
  "Woah, woah... lets calm down here." You walk over quickly.
"He says he had nothing to do with it-" Dean holds his hand up at Crowley.
  "I believe that." You start.
  "Crowley, is it possible that what we saw was the same group working with the other angels from before, with the d-r-e-a-m-s." you spell out so Callie wouldn't understand.
"That would make the most sense..." Cas adds.
"Quite possibly it was." Crowley shoves his hands back in his pockets and grunts.
"But how didn't you know?" Sam asks.
"Because they don't want me to know. They want you-know-who to overrun me." Crowley secretly gestures to Callie.
  "You know, this seems like a conversation we should finish when we don't have a child present." You lean on the table, they all shut up.
"Mommy, are we going home soon?" Callie asks, you look at Cas.
"I can take her home now..." he shrugs, you nod.
  "I'll catch up, Crowley, are they gone?" You ask, referring to the storm of demons. He nods.
"I took care of it, for now." He answers. Cas picks Callie up.
"Are we going to fly?!" She giggles, you smile as Cas nods.
"Ready?" He asks her, she bites the ends of her fingers excitedly and nods.
"I'll see you at the house." He says, you give him a kiss before Callie counts down and they blip away.

  About an hour later you finally leave the bunker and begin your ride home. You were driving peacefully on the highway while listening to Florence + The Machine. Driving alone in the dark sometimes freaked you out, so you turned the music up louder than normal. You turn off of the highway, following the GPS on your phone. It brought you to a red light. You tapped the wheel impatiently, being vigilant of everything around you.
  After the car accident from years ago, you were never the same in the road. Every time a car drove quickly in your direction you would flinch. The boys didn't know this, but it still irked you.
As the light stayed red, something ahead of you caught your eyes. It looked like smoke, arising from the sewer on the side of the road. It was distinctive as ever... it was a thick dark fog flew up and made it's way to you.
"Fuck." You grab your phone and call Cas. You watched the light as the familiar black smoke you knew all too well begin to race towards your car.
"Fuck fuck fuck!" You tapped away quickly on your phone as the caution walk sign blinked off. You slam down on the gas as soon as the light turns green, dialing Cas.
"Yes?"
You hear the phone say, right when you were about to put the phone back to your ear, it enters enters through the seal of the window.
"NO!" You scream, unable to control the voluminous, black air that filled your lungs, it caused you to swerve your car.
You felt completely disgusted, as you could feel whatever presence it was taking over your body, using your thoughts... using your voice.
"Sorry, butt dial..." you... it says. All you can see is black as you shout and pound at the nothingness that it had contained you in.
"Wow, now I see why that little bitch Castiel took such a liking to you... Nice body, girly." It wiggles in the seat. You grunt.
"Who are you, and what the fuck could you possibly want?" You demand. It chuckles.
"Call me Ella. And the fuck that I want is Caelestra, duh. You see, if you, and by you I mean me, tell Castiel that I was simply going to run to the store, I'll convince little Caelestra to come with me and boom, the deed is done. I hand her over to my men and we teach her to become our queen, simple as that."
"What are you going to do if Crowley finds out?" You question smugly, it scoffs.
"Oh Y/n... Poor, innocent Y/n, do you even know the power that you have at your hands. Crowley doesn't need to know, and he won't!And your daughter, oh the thought of how vulnerable her mind is makes me reap with excitement. So much unfulfilled knowledge. She will be our queen." It finishes, cutting you offline before you had anything to say. You scream once more and pound from the inside as it makes its way to your house.
