⌜ chapter twenty-three ⌟
"Alright, let's get off this highway." MJ says, and they all start for the cars. "Jack, Ellie, I want you both to stay with Matt."
"You ridin' with me?" Daryl asks her.
"Unless you're sick of me."
"Whatever, woman. Let's just go." He says, and they start for the motorcycle.
"I see you've attached yourself to the bowman." A familiar voice — and accent — to a few of them gains everyone's attention.
Matt quickly grabs Jack and Ellie, immediately pushing them behind him as MJ turns to face the demon. She sees him standing there, clad in all black, and her teeth clench.
"Crowley." She practically growls his name.
"Hello, gorgeous." He smiles. "I've come to make you a proposition."
"You don't have anything I want." She says as the others look between the two of them, most of them confused.
"I can give you your big brother, Moose, and the baby brother you didn't know you had until it was too late to save him." He tells her, and she shakes her head.
"And in twelve short months, I'm back in the pit. Screw you, Crowley."
"What about ten years this time? If you make it that long, that is." He suggests.
"No." She scoffs. "I told you. I'm not making a deal with you again. Having to kiss you is torture enough without what I have to endure after. If either of us is going back to hell, it's you."
"I can give you everything you want. Your family, including your son. The guaranteed safety of everyone in this group. Bobby's deal will be void." He tells her. "All I want is to ensure that the cage never opens. I can't exactly be the king of hell if Lucifer's freed."
"I have no control over the cage. I couldn't do what you're asking even if I wanted to."
"You don't have control over the cage, but you do have control over the key." He looks at Jack, and she takes a step forward.
"Go near him, and—"
"And you'll what?" He questions. "You left your angel blade with the little blonde girl, and I don't see her anywhere. You have nothing to protect him."
"We don't need an angel blade." Jack says, gaining their attention. "We have an angel."
"I hear you're the king of hell." Gabriel says as he appears next to MJ. "Nice to meet you, your highness."
