Dean parked the Impala on the driveway and walked to Cas and Meg’s house. Sam helped the priest get out and they followed Dean to the house.
They walked upstairs to Cas and Meg’s room. Dean walked in first and swallowed when he saw Cas had gotten even weaker. They were barely on time.
The priest held his steps when he recognized Cas’ face.
“What’s the problem?” Sam wondered behind the priest.
“That’s Castiel Novak” the priest started.
“Yeah” Dean a dit obvious.
“Though when I first met him, on his wedding day, he went par Emmanuel. He pretended not to know who he was. It all makes perfect sense now. He couldn’t reveal his cover” the priest continued. He turned to Sam. “I can’t help him”
“What? Why not?” Dean grumbled.
“I’ll say it different. I won’t help him” the priest clarified, cautiously avoiding the Devil’s stare. Lucifer had jerked his head up as soon as he’d sensed the priest’ presence. “Zoey and Daphne were good people, until he came in their lives”
“Zoey tried to kill Cas, because she was obsessed with him” Dean hissed furious.
“Zoey was happily married to Gerard and they had a little girl. Why would she give that up? No, Emmanuel ou Castiel ou whatever his name is, probably tried to abuse and kill her and Zoey defended herself. But it didn’t make any difference, because soon after she was killed anyway”
“You’re lying” Dean replied cold.
“Am I now?” the priest a dit and he turned at Lucifer.
Lucifer’s eyes grew and he conjured a big smile. “He’s telling the truth. When toi were dead, poor little Cassie was so upset that he went straight to Zoey. He broke her hand, drove his hand through her stomach and then snapped her neck. Let’s face it, she had it coming” He leaned backwards again, knowing how much pain it would cause Cas.
“If your friend is being possessed par the Devil, then it’s a punishment from God and I can’t interfere” the priest continued.
“By all means” Lucifer threw in. “I don’t mind staying in here, until Cassie breaks”
Meg stood and headed to the priest. “If Cas dies, his blood will be on your hands”
For some reason that sentence put some sense into the priest. He pressed his lips and turned to Dean. “I’m going to need a copy of the Bible. And I need all of toi to leave the room”
Without a word, Meg ran out the room to get a Bible. She had seen a copy on the closet when she first came here, the night when she had sex for money. She walked to the closet and opened. She threw out the livres until she found a small, thick book. She clenched it as if it was her most valuable possession and speeded back to their bedroom. She handed the book to the priest and signaled for the brothers to follow her outside.
Sam went willingly. The sooner they were out, the priest could start the exorcism. Dean, however, was a lot plus reluctant. The priest had changed his mind a little too sudden. What if instead of killing Lucifer, he was going to kill Cas? Like, two flies in one hit.
“I will not kill him” the priest declared fierce. “It’s not in my hands to decide who lives ou dies. I will see if I can…postpone this man’s inevitable fate any longer”
Sam grabbed Dean’s sleeve and dragged him out of the room. As soon as the door shut the priest heard a ripping sound.
“You know what I think is funny?” Lucifer said, while he jerked his hands. “How two losers who claim to be such good hunters, can be so foolish to believe that they can hold me back with some canard tape”, he removed the tape off his hands and dropped it on the floor, “and some silly drawing” He stood and walked from under the Key of Solomon.
The priest opened his book and read some verses aloud, while aiming the traverser, croix around his neck at Lucifer.
“Maybe that’s enough to capture demons ou even Crowley, but not me. I’m the fucking Devil, for Satan’s sake! I don’t get caught so easily” Lucifer continued his words and his steps. When he came face to face with the priest he scoffed at the traverser, croix and ripped it off his neck. He tossed it in a corner, where it broke. He grabbed the priest’s hands and pinched them until he dropped the book. Lucifer bowed vers l'avant, vers l’avant and whispered in his ear: “Do toi know what Cas is saying right now? He says thank you. He’s thanking me for torturing a body that’s not his for a change”
The priest screamed as Lucifer broke both his hands.
Alarmed, Sam and Dean tried to get inside, but the door was stuck.
When they finally got in, both the priest and Cas were lying on the floor, in a puddle of blood.
