Demon Hunter

Chapter 10

Gasps and snarls filled the room. My eyes watered and I stared in horror at Castiel. "What the hell is wrong with you!" I shouted. If he heard me he didn't react. He held Drakes limp body and murmured a chant under his breath in Romanian. Suddenly Drake gasped for air and stumbled away from Castiel. He looked down at his hands and then Castiel with wide eyes. "Am I..." He trailed off and Castiel nodded. "You have been reborn again, brother. You are a Lycan."

I slapped the back of Castiel's head and he swiveled around, his eyes dark. "You had to kill him to make him a Lycan!" The practice seemed completely unorthodox, and frankly, scared the shit out of me. "He had to be reborn." Castiel stated simply. "Why me?" We all turned back to Drake, he was leaning against the counter. "The Moon Goddess spoke, I had to do as she said." Castiel was all too calm for just killing a man, even if he was 'reborn'.

"Will anything change? I have my mate and..." He ran a hand through his hair, unsure of himself. "No. You're mate will remain the same. You're strength, power, and ability have only grown stronger. The Moon Goddess sees great suffering in your future. She gave you the strength to handle it." Drake was still in shock. Looking around the room with wide eyes. "My vision is really freaking good." He laughed breathlessly and rubbed his fists against them. "Da, you will find that your senses are much more... intense." Castiel smirked and I wanted to hit him again. "Thank you." Drake said and Castiel nodded. "We will be leaving now."

Castiel took my arm in his hand and I snatched it away. "I am not your slave. Quit yanking me." He took my hand instead. His much larger one making mine feel especially small.

"Where to next." Gabe grumbled. He came down the steps with Liam behind him. "Acasă, home." Castiel said and I shook my head. "I have a lot of things to take care of, here. In this town." Castiel led me outside and to the Mercedes. He opened the passenger side door and closed it behind me.

"You have one hour. Then you are coming home, whether you are finished or not." Corena and Liam got in the back with Gabe sandwiched between them. "To the auto body shop." Gabe nodded eagerly, holding his arms closer to himself. Corena was small, but Liam dominated the space. He glared out the window and his face settled into a hard mask.

I grinned at Victor as we walked into the auto body shop. "Victor, my man. How's my baby?" Victor wiped his hands on a dingy cloth which did little to clean them and tapped my outstretched fist with his own. "Good as new. What'd you hit anyway?" He tossed me my keys and lead the way to the back where they fixed the cars. "My little brother blew out the mailbox." Victor chuckled and stopped in front of my car, free of the deathly silver. I threw my arms on the car awkwardly in the form of a hug and kissed the top. "Oh baby you look so sexy." I mumbled against it. "She treats the car better than you Cass." I heard Liam snicker and then it ended abruptly with a thump and an ow. "Thank you Victor for bringing her back from the dead. What ever the cost, Cass will pay it." I walked around to the drivers side and opened the door. "Actually Drake said its cool. He's got this one, but next time, don't let Gabe drive." I nodded in agreement, accessing the inside of my car. "That would be best. We'll get him his own car to wreck."

"Well I have a different car to fix up. I'll see you around." Victor nodded to me before walking further back into the garage. I slid into the drivers seat and placed my hands on ten and two. "Come on Gabe." I shut the door and the passenger side opens. Castiel leans down and I smile at him. "Where are you going?" He asks his voice lacking any humor. "I am going to my home, than to my place of work. I might decide to visit my dearest Jacob. The possibilities are endless." I said dreamily. All though I hadn't much driving time with the car, it was the love of my life because it was my own. "I am coming." He put his leg into the car and I swatted it. "Uh uh. No way. Me and Gabe." Castiel growled but removed his leg. "You just had time alone with Gabe." My smile fell from my face. "Well I want more. Go away." Castiel stayed put for a minute but when I didn't back down, he walked away briskly. Corena and Liam followed him away. Gabe got into the passenger seat and no sooner than he'd closed the door, I was pushing the speed limit.
