《Destroy Me (Book 1) A Supernatural Story》8- Was He Your Friend?

Advertisement

Calliope and Dean head back to the motel while Sam looks into Jesse, and anything that he could conjure up that would figure out a way of how he was making things become real. As Calliope and Dean sat there waiting, Dean glanced over at her a thought crossing his mind. "So, gonna tell me why you poured your coffee all over that nurse?" he asks her.

"Don't now what your talking about" Calliope says as she looks down at the book she was looking at.

"Come, on, you aren't clumsy, you did it on purpose, same with how she just happened to trip when she walked away" he says to her.

"Maybe she's clumsy too" Calliope remarks as she wishes that Sam would come back, to avoid this conversation, and right on cue the door to the motel room opens, and Sam walks in.

"So, dug up what I could on Jesse Turner, it's not much. Uhh, B student, won last year's Pinewood Derby. But get this: Jesse was adopted, his birth records are sealed" he tells Calliope and Dean.

"And you unsealed them right" Calliope says to him.

"There's no father listed, but Jesses' biological mom is named Julia Wright. She lives in Elk Creek on the other side of the state" Sam tells him.

"So, road trip" Calliope then says closing her book.

"Road trip" Dean agrees with her.

The three of them head off for the address of Julia, Calliope followed the boys in her car, as they pulled up to a very run down looking house. The three of them get out of their vehicles and head toward the house, walking through overgrown yard, and can see cobwebs all over. The paint is peeling away on most of the house as they walk around toward the front door, where they walk up the front steps and Dean rings the doorbell as they see three locks on the door.

"Whatever you're selling, I'm not interested" they hear a woman's voice tell them.

"Oh, we're not salesmen, Agents Page, Jones and Plant, FBI" Dean tells the woman as they show her their badges through the peephole on the door.

"Put your badge in the slot, your partner's too" the woman tells them. Dean looks at Sam and Calliope taking their badges and doing what she asked. As they wait they hear the door being unlocked, and a woman opens the door looking at them.

"What do you want?" she asks as she stands back and hands the badges back to them.

"We just had a few questions about your son" Sam tells her.

"I don't have a son" she quickly says shaking her head.

"He was born March 29ht, 1998, in Omaha. Yu put him up for adoption" Sam tells her.

"What about him?" she then asks them.

"We're just wondering, was it—was it a normal pregnancy?" Sam then asks her.

"Was there anything strange?" Dean then asks.

"Stay away from me!" she then screams at them closing the door, and running away.

"Mrs Wright, wait!" Dean calls out and the three of them follow her into the home, chasing after the woman. The follow her through the house, as she goes into the kitchen and tries to close the door behind her.

Dean pushes the door, "We just wanna talk" he tells her as she then tosses table salt at them.

She has a look of surprise that the salt does nothing to the three of them, "You're not demons" she says to them.

"How do you know about demons?" Dean then asks her.

Sitting down at the table, Julia takes a sip of her tea looking at the three of them, "I was possessed. A demon took control of my body, and I hurt people. I killed people" she says to them.

"That wasn't you though" Calliope tells her.

"But I was there. I heard a woman beg for mercy. I felt a young girl's blood drip down my hands" she says to them.

"That's how you knew about the salt" Dean says.

"Yeah, I picked up tricks. It was in my head for months" Julia tells him.

"How many months?" Dean then asks though they might already know the answer.

"Nine" she answers.

"So, your son.." Sam starts to say.

"Yeah, the whole time, the pregnancy, birth...all of it...I was possessed. The night the baby was born, I was alone...and the pain was overwhelming. I screamed, and it came out a laugh because the demon was happy. It used my body to give birth to a child. When it was over, something changed. Maybe the demon was tired or if the pain helped me fight it, but somehow I took control. The demon wailed inside me, it pounded against my skull. I thought my head was gonna explode, but I knew. I knew what I had to do" she tells us as she remembers what happened to her, "And when I was alone with the baby, part of me—part of me wanted to kill it. But God help me, I couldn't do that....so I put it up for adoption, and I ran" she goes on to say.

"Who was the father?" Dean then asks.

"I was a virgin" she tells them and Calliope, Dean and Sam share a look, "Have you seen my son?" she then asks, "Is he human?" she goes onto ask.

"His name's Jesse. He lives in Alliance. He's a good kid" Dean tells her and she just looks down.

The three of them then leave the house, "So, now what?" Sam asks them.

"We need help" Dean says as they head for their cars.

Getting back to the motel the three of them go in, and Sam flicks the light on and they see Castiel standing in the room. "I take it you got our message" Sam says as he sits down at the table, and Dean closes the door.

"It's lucky you found the boy" Castiel says to them.

"Oh, yeah, real lucky. What do we do with him" Dean asks, as he tosses his keys on the other table.

"Kill him" Castiel says rather quickly, and they all look at him in shock.

"Cass-" Dean starts to say.

"This child is half-demon and half-human. But it's far more powerful than either. Other cultures call this hybrid cambion, or Katake. You know him as the Antichrist" Castiel says as he then sits down on the chair across from Sam. When Castiel does this they start to hear very embarrassing farting noises, and Calliope looks at Dean realizing that he had placed the whoopie cushion on that chair.

"That wasn't me" Castiel says as he takes the whoopie cushion out showing them.

"Who put that there?" Dean says trying to act innocent.

"Anyway, I don't get it. Jesse is the devil's son?" Sam asks Castiel.

Castiel shakes his head, "No, of course not. Your Bible gets more wrong than it does right. The Antichrist is not Lucifer's child, it's just demon spawn...but it is one of the devil's greatest weapons in the war against heaven" Castiel explains.

"If Jesse's a demonic howitzer, what the hell is he doing in Nebraska?" Dean then asks.

"Demons lost him, they can't find him, but they're looking" Castiel tells him.

"They lost the boy because?" Calliope asks.

"Because of the child's power. It hides him from both angels and demons for now" Castiel says to her.

"So, he's got, like, a force field around him. Well, that's great, problem solved" Dean says.

"With Lucifer risen, this child grows strong. Soon, he will do more than just make a few toys come to life....something that will draw the demons to him. The demons will find this child. Lucifer will twist this boy to his purpose...and then, with a word, this child...will destroy the host of heaven" Castiel explains to the three of them.

"Wait, wait, wait you're saying that Jesse's gonna nuke the angels?" Dean then says to him.

"We cannot allow that to happen" Castiel says looking at them.

Calliope then shares a look with Dean, and Sam, knowing what Castiel wants to do, and it disturbs her, "No, no, we are the good guys, we don't kill children" she says to the angel.

"A year ago, you would've done whatever it took to win this war" Castiel says to her.

"Things can change" she says stepping forward and staring Castiel down.

"Okay, hey, look. We are not going to kill him, all right. But we can't leave Jesse here either, we know that. So, we take him to Bobby's, he'll know what to do" Dean tells Castiel.

"You'll kidnap him?" the angel asks, and Dean looks over at Calliope and Sam. "What is going on in this town, it's what happens when the thing is happy. You cannot imagine what it will do if it's angry. Besides, how will you hold him? With a thought, he could be halfway around the world" Castiel tells them.

"So, we—""So we tell him the truth" Sam says for Dean, "You say Jesse's destines to go dark side, fine, but he hasn't yet. So if we lay it all out for him, what he is...the apocalypse, everything he might make the right choice" Sam says to Castiel.

Castiel looks at him, "You didn't" he sneers at Sam, "And I can't take that chance" he adds as he then disappears.

"Damn it" Sam says.

"He's going after Jesse" Dean then says.

"Yes, and now because of us he knows where he is" Calliope says as she then quickly grabs her leather jacket and starts to make her way out of the motel.

"Callie wait" Dean calls out to her and she stops at the door.

"Dean, we can't let Cass kill that boy, I'm with Sam on this one, we can give that boy chance, it's what I would want" She says looking at him.

"Yeah, but you're not taking on Cass by yourself, we will meet you there" he tells her.

"You know I could get there much faster than the two of you" she says.

"We know, Callie, we just think it's better if the three of us are there to stop Cass" Sam then tells her. She looks at the boys, knowing that they are right, and sighs.

"Fine, get changed, then we go and stop Cass from dare I say it killing a kid" she tells them.

Sam, Dean and Calliope make their way back to Jesse's house, Dean kicks the door in, and the three of them enter to see Jesse looking at them, scared, "Was there a guy here in a trench coat?" Dean then asks the boy. Jesse then points to the ground, and they look down to see that Jesse had turned Castiel into a miniture figurine. Dean very carefully picks the figure up, and him, Sam and Callie just look at one another before looking back at Jesse. They move into the living room, where Dean takes the figure of Castiel and places it on the mantle, "Was he your friend?" Jesse then asks.

"Him?" Dean says, "No" he quickly says worried if he had said yes he would have the same fate as the angel.

"I did that" Jesse then says looking at the figure, "But how did I do that?" he then asks.

"You're a superhero" Dean tells Jesse, and Calliope and Sam look at one another.

"I am?" Jesse asks him,

"Yeah, I mean, who else could turn someone into a toy. You're Superman, minus the cape and the go-go boots" Dean says, "See my partners and I.. we work for a secret government agency. It's our job to find kids with special powers. In fact, we're here to take you to a hidden base...in South Dakota, where you'll be trained to fight evil" Dean lies to the boy.

"Like the X-Men?" Jesse asks him.

"Excatly like the X-Men" Dean says back, "In fact, the guy we're taking you to, he's even in a wheelchair. You'll be a hero. You'll save lives, you'll get the girl. Sounds like fin, right?" Dean says to him, just as Jesse is about to say something Dean is tossed across the room, and pinned against the wall.

"They're lying to you" they hear a voice say and look to see Julia now possessed again coming into the house. Sam goes to go after her, and she does the same thing to him.

"Stay right there, dream boat, can't hurt you, orders" Demon Julia says to Sam, "You on the other hand," she says looking at Dean "hurting you is encouraged" she says as she then makes Dean go back and forth across the room.

Calliope goes to make her move, "Move one step and I kill this sweet precious boy toy of yours" the demon threatens as she makes Dean go across the room again.

"Leave him alone" Jesse then shouts at Julia.

She does so looking at the young boy, "Jesse, you're beautiful. You have your father's eyes" she says bending down by the boy.

"Who are you?" Jesse then asks her.

"I'm your mother" the demon tells him.

"No, you're not" Jesse says shaking his head at her.

"Mmm-hmm, you're half-human" she stands up, "half-one of us" she tells him,

"She means demons; Jesse" Dean tells the boy.

Demon Julia looks over at the boys, moving her fist making the grip on both Sam and Dean tighter, "Those people you call your parents, they lied to you too" Demon Julia says looking back down at Jesse, "You're not theirs, not really" the demon tells him.

"My mom and dad love me" Jesse tells her.

"Do they? Is that why they leave you alone all day? Because they love you so much? These people, these imposters, they told you that the tooth fairy was real and that your toys could hurt you, and a hundred other things that aren't true. They love you so much, they made your whole life a lie. Look into your heart, Jesse. You've always known you weren't theirs. You've always known you were different. Everyone has lied to you. They're not FBI agents, and you're not a superhero" Demon Julia tells Jesse.

"Then what am I?" Jesse asks her.

"You're powerful. You can have anything you want, you can do anything you want" Julia tells him.

"Jesse don't listen to her, she's the one lying" Calliope then says, and the demon looks at Calliope, and then at Dean making him groan out in pain by using her demonic powers on him. "They treated you like a child, nobody trusted you, everybody's lied to you. Doesn't that make you angry" the demon says to Jesse.

He then makes a fist with his hand, and the house starts to rumble, and it starts shaking, "See, it does make you angry" the demon says as the lights start swaying and a fire starts in the fireplace. "But I'm telling you the truth, Jesse. Wouldn't it be better if there were no lies. Come with me, you can wash it all clean, start over. Imagine it, a world without lies" the demon says and Jesse begins to get even angrier as the pictures fall off the walls, and a crack goes up between Sam and Dean on the wall they were pinned too.

"Jesse, she's right we have lied to you, but I can tell you the truth" Calliope says, and this time Julia looks at her and raises her hand causing Calliope to start chocking, "I want to---I need—I need to" she tries saying.

"Stop it!" Jesse shouts at the demon and Calliope is released. "I wanna hear what she has to say" Jesse then says looking at Calliope.

"You're stronger than I thought" the demon says.

"Yes we lied, and we are sorry for that, and here is the truth, My name is Callie Atwell, and this is Sam and Dean Winchester they're brothers, and like family to me. The three of us we go around hunting monsters" Calliope explains.

"Except when one of you are the monster, right Sammy?" the demon says looking at Sam.

"That woman right there, her name is Julia, and she is your mother. The thing that is inside of her that is talking to you right now, it's a demon" Calliope tells the boy.

"A demon?" Jesse asks.

"Her and those boys have done nothing but lie to you, since the moment you met them, don't listen to her, punish her" the demon says to Jesse.

"Sit down and shut up" Jesse then says to the demon, and the chair comes at her, and she is forced to sit in it, and she cannot speak.

Calliope looks at Jesse, surprised at just how powerful the boy has become in the very short time. "Right now a war is going on between angels and demons, and you are a part of it" Calliope then tells him.

"I'm just a kid" Jesse says to her.

"I know, and you can choose to go with her if you want, we won't stop you, but you need to know that if you do, millions of people can die." Calliope tells him.

"She said I was half-demon, is that true" Jesse then asks her.

"It is, but you are also half-human too, just like me, I'm half-human, but I am also half-angel, and I know that you can do the right thing Jesse. I'm not going to hurt you, Jesse no matter what you choose, but this is your choice, you get to pick what you think is right, but if you end up making the wrong one, then it can haunt you for a very long time" Calliope tells the boy,

"Why are you telling me this?" Jesse the cries at her.

"I am telling you this because I believe you can make the right choice, even if someone else didn't" she says glancing at Sam, knowing the guilt still eating him inside.

Jesse looks at Calliope, then over at the Demon Julia, "Get out of her" he says and they watch as the chair she was in slides back, and the demon starts being forced out of her. As the demon goes up through the fireplace, and Dean is let go from the wall.

He falls down and looks at Jesse, "How did you do that?" he asks the boy.

"I just did" he explains to Dean.

"Kid...you're awesome" he says as he groans, trying to get his breath back.

"Is she gonna be all right?" Jesse asks looking at Julia passed out in the chair.

"Eventually" Dean tells him, as Dean looks down and picks up the Castiel figure, "Look, uh, truth is...he's kinda a buddy of mine. Is there any way you could turn him back?" Dean asks.

"He tried to kill me" Jesse says to Dean.

"Right, but he's a good guy, he was just confused" Dean says and Jesse just looks at him, "Okay, it's been a long night, we'll talk about it later" Dean adds as he puts the figure back on the mantle.

"What now?" Jesse then asks Dean.

"Now we take you someplace safe, get you trained up, you'd be handy in a fight, kid" Dean tells him.

"What if I don't wanna fight?" Jesse then asks.

"Jesse" Sam says as he walks over to the boy, sitting down by him, "You're powerful, more powerful than pretty much anything we've ever seen, and that makes you"

"A freak" Jesse says to Sam.

"To some people maybe, but not to us. See we're kind of freaks ourselves" Sam tells him, as Sam looks over at Dean and Calliope.

"I can't stay here, can I?" Jesse says also looking over at them.

"I'm sorry Jesse, but no. The demons now know where you are and more will be coming" Calliope tells the boy.

"I won't go without my mom and dad" Jesse says looking between the three of them.

"There's nothing more important than family, we get that. And if you really wanna take them with you, we'll back your play. But you gotta understand, it's gonna be dangerous for them, too" Sam explains to him.

"What do you mean?" Jesse asks confused.

"Our dad, he would take us with him where ever he went" Dean tells him.

"Where is he now?" Jesse asks him.

"Dead" Sam bluntly answers, "A demon killed him" he continues.

"Look, Jesse, once you're in this fight...you're in it to the end. Win or lose" Dean says to him.

"What should I do?" Jesse then asks looking at the three of them.

"We really can't tell you that Jesse, it's your choice. It's not really fair, we know" Calliope says to him.

"Can I go see my parents?" he then asks, "I, uh—I need to say good-bye" he says to them.

"Sure" Dean tells him, and he walks away from them.

The three of them sit there waiting for Jesse to come back, it starts to take some time, "He's been up there for a long time" Calliope then says to the boys and the three of them head up the stairs. Going into what was Jesse's room, they look to see that he is not there.
