God Or No God,That Is The Question

 By Elodie Kohler-Andrianos 

The action took place in a deserted town,in an abandoned house. Castiel was there,he was waiting for his brother Raphael. He called the Archangel in Enochian,and he was waiting for his arrival.

After a little time,Raphael arrived. They looked at each other,not friendly at all.

Raphael spoke first: -" You called me Castiel. What is the matter?".

-" I need to find our Father and ask him a few things about this whole situation.".

Raphael smirked and told him that God was either dead or he left the building a long time ago.

Cas couldn't believe his ears,he needed answers and help.

-" I need help brother. I just don't know what is right or wrong...".

-" And why is that,Castiel? You've been corrupted by those filthy humans?".

Castiel looked at his brother with a disgusted look.

-" I find them interesting,and they need help as well.".

Raphael laughed at his little brother's naivety. He really spent too much time on Earth.

-" I don't believe he's dead. Maybe he's hiding. Things have gone mad in Heaven since you took control. Raphael,you need to stop!". 

That made the Archangel stop laughing and he looked at his brother with an evil look. 

-" There is no stopping me now,Castiel! Just wait and see!".

Cas took a deep breath,jumped on his brother and punched him in the face. Raphael's head turned to the right side. Raphael took hold of his brother and threw him across the room.

Cas landed on the wall with his back first. He got up rapidly and resumed the fight. They hit each other very hard. Blood was streaming out of their nose and mouth. 

The battle was going nowhere,he had to do something. Cas screamed in Enochian and Raphael stopped his attack.

Cas used a mojo on the Archangel,he couldn't move at all. 

-" Castiel! Let me go at once. I was teaching you a lesson.".

-" You have more in common with humans than you want to admit. Your list for power,for a start.".

Cas took the Angel blade out of his pocket while talking and showed it to his brother.

-" You wouldn't...." Raphael started,not sounding so sure.

-" Oh,I would and you know it." answered Cas,and to show his brother how serious he was,he stabbed the bade into Raphael's left shoulder and then,with a move of his hand,the blade moved alone. Raphael let out a loud scream of pain. 

Cas,not wanting to be like Raphael,decided to let him go. He pulled out the blade and released him from the mojo.

-" Cas,I'm not the traitor! I stand with our Siblings and Father.".

-" I don't think that He would have wanted the humans to suffer..." Cas said,but he got no reply. Raphael was already gone.

Castiel was alone -again- with his thoughts...

Was he wrong to have rebelled? 

Was he right to have killed two of his kind to save the Winchesters?

Where was the Lord when you needed Him the most?

Maybe his brother Raphael was right? That they were beyond saving...

He didn't know what to think anymore....

Οικογενειακή Επανένωση

By Elodie Kohler-Andrianos 

 Ήταν μια ωραία συνηθισμένη μέρα στον Παράδεισο. Ο Γαβριήλ έσπαγε πλάκα με τα αδέρφια του. Αυτοί προσπάθησαν να τον πιάσουν αλλά ήταν άσος για να κρυφτεί και ήταν πολύ γρήγορος. Ο Ζαχαρίας και άλλοι Άγγελοι τον πήραν στο κυνήγι και αν οι άνθρωποι,κάτω στη Γη,θα έκαναν λίγη ησυχία,θα μπορούσαν να τους ακούσουν να γελούν. Μόνο ο Καστιέλ δεν γελούσε,ήταν τόσος σοβαρός (μόνο αν τον γαργαλούσες και αν δεν σε πέταξε μακριά του με ένα mojo). Όλα ήταν χαρά και γέλια μέχρι που ήρθε ο Μιχαήλ με τον αδερφό τους,τον Εωσφόρο.

-" Αδέρφια,έφερα τον Εωσφόρο για να μιλήσουμε για τα δικαιώματά του να πάει και αυτός στη Γη - αν μας υπόσχεται να μην κάνει κακό σε κανέναν-." πρόσθεσε ο Μιχαήλ, κοιτώντας τον αδερφό του.

-" Μιχαήλ,για ποιόν με πέρασες;;" ρώτησε με αθωότητα Ο Εωσφόρος.

Ο Μιχαήλ δεν απάντησε αλλά χαμογέλασε και κοίταξε προς τα πάνω.

Όλους τους Αρχάγγελους (συν τον Καστιέλ) θυμήθηκαν τα παλιά και γέλασαν -εκτός από τον Κας-. Αυτό έκανε τον Γαβριήλ,με ένα πονηρό ύφος, να λέει στον Καστιέλ: -" Μην με κάνεις να έρθω.".

Ο Κας έκανε έναν ήχο που δεν έπρεπε να κάνει ένας Άγγελος. Ο Μιχαήλ χτύπησε τα δάχτυλα του και ο Κολπατζής εξαφανίστηκε... στην άλλη άκρη του δωματίου που γινόταν η συνάντηση.

-" Άσε τον Καστιέλ ήσυχο! Έχει μια αποστολή και πρέπει να είναι εκατό τοις εκατό συγκεντρωμένος." είπε ο Μιχαήλ,σοβαρός αλλάχαμογέλασε.

Αυτό το περιστατικό,κανένας Άγγελός δεν το έχασε ούτε μια στιγμή.

Ο Εωσφόρος προσπάθησε να εξηγήσει στα αδέρφια του να τον αφήσουν να πάει στη Γη όποτε θέλει και ότι δεν θα έκανε κακό σε κανέναν. Οι Άγγελοι κοιτάχτηκαν,και μετά από λίγο χρόνο, αποφάσισαν να τον αφήσουν ελεύθερο να πάει στη Γη -αλλά αν θα δούν ότι θα κάνει κάτι κακό,θα πήγαινε πίσω στη Κόλαση και δεν θα ξανά έφυγε ποτέ.

Η μυστική αποστολή του Καστιέλ ήταν να ακολουθήσει τον Εωσφόρο και να λέει τα πάντα στον Μιχαήλ. Ο Ζαχαρίας και ο Καστιέλ δεν πίστευαν ότι ο αδερφός τους θα άλλαξε,ενώ ο Μιχαήλ δεν ήξερε τι να πιστέψει και ο Γαβριήλ ήθελε να πιστέψει τον αδερφό του (του είχε αδυναμία).

Τον άφησαν να πάει στη Γη και ο Κας πήγε μαζί του. Έκανε αναφορά κάθε μέρα στον Μιχαήλ. Για πολλές μέρες,εβδομάδες και μετά,μήνες: τίποτα το ανήσυχο είχε συμβεί...

Αυτό που δεν ήξεραν,ήταν ότι ο Εωσφόρος πήρε μαζί του -μια φορά που ξανά πήγε κάτω- έναν δαίμονα, ένανδαίμονα που εμπιστεύεται πάρα πολύ και είναι πολύ επικίνδυνο. Έπρεπε να βρει ένα σώμα-δοχείο για τον βοηθό του,χωρίς να τον δει ο Καστιέλ ή κανένας άλλος... Προσπάθησε να βρει μια δικαιολογία για να ξεφύγει από τον Άγγελο και αυτός τη δέχτηκε. Δεν το πίστεψε: την πάτησε ο αδερφός του και τα άλλα αδέρφια! Ο Κας τον είδε που έφυγε και -ω έκπληξη- χαμογέλασε.

Από την μια πλευρά,Ο Εωσφόρος νόμισε ότι ο μικρός Άγγελός δεν κατάλαβε τίποτα,αλλά ήξερε τα πάντα και τα έλεγε στον Μιχαήλ.

Όταν ο Αρχηγός τα είπε στους άλλους, ο Ζαχαρίας είπε: -"Σας το είπαμε ή όχι, ο Κας και εγώ;!;". 

Ο Μιχαήλ σήκωσε το χέρι και είπε στον αδερφό του: -"Ναι,είχατε δίκιο. Συγγνώμη... Ήθελα να πιστέψω ότι ο αδερφός μας μπορούσε να αλλάξει...".

-" Θα του στήσουμε μια παγίδα..." Ο Ζαχαρίας συνέχισε στα Ενοκιαν το πλάνο του. 

Ή αυτός ή ο Μιχαήλ θα πήγαινε στη Γη με τον Κας. Δεν πήγαν μαζί για να μην υποψιαστεί ο Εωσφόρος,αν έτυχε να ήταν εκεί γύρω...

Αυτός δεν υποψιάστηκε τίποτα,ήταν απασχολημένος με τον δαίμονα που έφερε να τον βοηθήσει με το σατανικό του πλάνο. Νόμισε ότι τα αδέρφια του δεν κατάλαβαν ότι πήρε μαζί του έναν δαίμονα και ότι η εξαιρετική του καλή συμπεριφορά έκρυβε κάτι. Ο Κας και ο αδερφός του μίλαγαν μεταξύ τους με σκέψεις και με κώδικα ονόματα -για να μην καταλαβαίνει τίποτα ο Σατανάς αν θα κρυφάκουγε τίποτα...

Αυτός ο δαίμονας δεν ήταν ένας απλός δαίμονας. Ήταν το κλειδί για να ελευθερωθούν όλες τις αρρώστιες. Αν τον σκότωνε με ένα συγκεκριμένο τρόπο,θα μόλυναν τους πάντες. Αυτός ο τρόπος ήταν: Πανσέληνος,έκτη μέρα του εκτός μηνός στις έντεκα το βράδυ και να του κόψει το κεφάλι με μια λεπίδα για δαίμονες. Ο Μιχαήλ,ο Ζαχαρίας και ο Καστιέλ ήξεραν πραγματικά -οι άλλοι Άγγελοι δεν ήξεραν τα πάντα για να μην προκαλέσει τον πανικό και βιαστικές πράξεις-.

Ο Κας είπε στον Ζαχαρία ότι υπήρχε ένα νεκροταφείο κοντά και έφυγαν.

Ευτυχώς,αυτό το νεκροταφείο είχε πολλές κρυψώνες. Κρύφτηκαν κοντά στο μέρος που θα εκτελούσε την θυσία ο Εωσφόρος. Όταν πλησίασε η ώρα,ήρθε με τον δαίμονα και πήγαν σε ένα συγκεκριμένο τάφο: ενός γιατρού που επίτηδες διέδωσε αρρώστιες σε όσους πέρασαν στα χέρια του στο Γενικό Νοσοκομείο της πόλης,το δέκατο έκτο αιώνα. Φήμες λένε ότι όταν τον σκότωσαν,τον έδεσαν με αλυσίδες με σκέτο σίδερο. Όλο φήμες, άλλωστε δεν χρειάζονταν το σώμα του γιατρού,ούτε και την ψυχή του. Μόνο το τάφο του,ένα καταραμένο τάφο,για να μεταδίδει τη κακία και τον θάνατο.

Τα δύο αδέρφια άλλαξαν ένα βλέμμα και αποφάσισαν να δράσουν. Ο Εωσφόρος,πρίν να θυσιάσει τον δαίμονα,έπρεπε να ψάλλει στα Λατινικά. Τότε αποφάσισαν να δράσουν οι Άγγελοι.

Σχεδόν είχε τελειώσει τον ψαλμό του, ο Κας ακινητοποιήσε τον Εωσφόρο και τον δαίμονα με ένα mojo. Ο Ζαχαρίας ήρθε και ξανά έκλεισε τον δαίμονα σε ένα κλουβί που δεν θα μπορούσε ούτε ο Εωσφόρος να τον ελευθερώθει.

Κόκκινο-μαύρες φλόγες τύλιξαν τον δαίμονα (που ούρλιαζε από πόνο και θυμό) και εξαφανίστηκε στην τρύπα που είχε ανοίξει μέσα στη Γη.

Ο έκπτωτος Άγγελος προσπάθησε να σπάσει το mojo του Κας αλλά δεν μπόρεσε.

-" Αδέρφια, δεν θα έκανα κακό! Σας το υπόσχομαι. Ήθελα να κάνω ένα ξόρκι για να σιγουρευτούμε ότι κανένας δεν θα ελευθέρουσε τις αρρώστιες." δήλωσε ο Εωσφόρος. 

Ο Ζαχαρίας και ο Καστιέλ δεν τον πίστεψαν. Ο Καστιέλ ήταν έτοιμος να επίθετει στον αδερφό τους αλλά ο Ζαχαρίας σήκωσε το χέρι του και ο Σεραφείμ υπάκουσε.

-" Ο Μιχαήλ θα θέλει να σου πει δύο κουβέντες. Θα σε πάρουμε μαζί μας.".

Ο Εωσφόρος,μην γνωρίζοντας ποιός ήταν,Τον κοίταξε καλά καλά...

Ο Ζαχαρίας χασκογέλασε και του απάντησε: -" Είμαι ο Ζαχαρίας. Άλλαξα σώμα-δοχείο για να μην με αναγνωρίζεις! Πάμε στον Παράδεισο και θα δεις τι θα πάθεις!".

Έφυγαν και συναντήθηκαν με τον Μιχαήλ. Ήταν πολύ ευχαριστημένος με την αποστολή. Όταν είδε τον αδερφό του ακινητοποιημένος,χαμογέλασε, αλλά το ύφος του ήταν σκληρό:

-" Βρε,βρε Εωσφόρε! Το πλάνο σου δεν πήγε όπως ήθελες;" ρώτησε ο Μιχαήλ ειρωνικά. " Τώρα θα πας στην θέση που σου αξίζει!". 

Πρίν προλάβε να μιλήσει ο δεμένος αδερφός του,ο Μιχαήλ χτύπησε τα δάχτυλα του και ο Εωσφόρος εξαφανίστηκε σε ένα μεγάλο κλουβί και κανένας δεν θα μπορέσει να το βγάλει έξω. Δεν πήγε στη Κόλαση αλλά πήγε σε ένα ξεχασμένο μέρος του Παράδεισο. Μόνο ο Μιχαήλ ήξερε που ήταν ακριβώς. 

Όταν ο καταραμένος αδερφός τους ήταν ξανά φυλακισμένος,ο Μιχαήλ είπε στα αδέρφια του τα καλά νέα. Όλοι χειροκρότησαν και δεν θα είχαν να ασχοληθούν ξανά με τον Εωσφόρο. Ο Καστιέλ ήταν κοντά στον Μιχαήλ από τη στιγμή που επέστρεψε με τον Ζαχαρία και τον αδερφό τους,τρόμαξε όταν ξαφνικά ο Γαβριήλ εμφανίστηκε δίπλα του.

Ο κολπατζής χαμογέλασε και του είπε: 

-" Χαλάρωσε μικρέ αδερφέ. Δεν έκανα τίποτα...ακόμα!".

Ο Κας τον κοίταξε με γουρλωμένα μάτια και ο Γαβριήλ τον πήρε στην αγκαλιά του,και πολύ γρήγορα,ο Κας τον αγκάλιασε κι αυτός. Όλα αυτά συνέβησαν κάτω από τα βλέμματα του Μιχαήλ και του Ζαχαρία. 

Another Usual Day

 By Elodie Kohler-Andrianos 

One summer day,in America,two brothers were traveling all over the country. They had a black Impala '67,with their weapons hidden in the trunk. This time they weren't alone,they had their friend Castiel - an Angel who had to learn what it means "to be human". They stopped a little while before to buy something to eat and coffees.

Sam asked his brother Dean in a Texan accent : - "Tell me what are we doing in Dallas?".

Dean smirked and said : - "We are in Louisiana,not Texas. Drop the accent,bitch!".

The younger brother smiled and replied: - "Thanks...Jerk!". 

Dean playfully punched his brother on his arm. Castiel,who wasn't used to their playful -and sometimes strange- teasings and fights,said in a heavy voice : 

- "I can't stand fights.". 

Both paper cups fell down from Dean's and Sam's hands. Dean suddenly brakes and both brothers looked at each other in surprise, then they turned around to look at the Angel. They were about to scream at Castiel,but when they saw him so shocked,Dean told him that it didn't matter and that they were just being playful.

Castiel nodded his head and apologized. They continued the trip and they were telling funny stories. They arrived at night, they looked for a motel to get some rest. They couldn't fall asleep so they decided to watch a movie,eating a pizza. As they were watching their movie,to the opposite side of the town,a strange event was happening. 

A group of teenagers went for a walk near the swamps. Two boys and two girls: they took their girlfriends to this place to scare them. One of the boys stayed behind to bring something they "forgot". As the three others made their way in the 'forest-swamps',he snuck behind them. He was wearing a costume and a mask -he jumped from his hiding place,screaming. The two girls screamed so loud and the boy faked his fear,but soon his 'screams' turned into laughter -as well as the monster's. Both girlfriends were shocked and angry at their joke. They ran back to the car while the other teen boy ran after them, apologizing for their cruel (and maybe hurtful) prank. The costumed teen was still laughing but he wouldn't be laughing much longer... He wandered a little deeper into the woods and he lost his way. 

He said : - "These idiot chicks... They don't have a sense of humor!". He said that to himself mostly,since he was speaking softly and he was alone. 

As he was trying to find his way back,he heard something cracking behind him. He quickly turned around and saw...nothing. He didn't completely turned around that he felt a cold,wet hand on his shoulder. He tried to move the hand from him but as he did so,the creature behind him made him turn around:it was a man,a corpse that had been rotting in water many,many years (decomposing flesh).

He tried to scream but the creature -which had inhuman strength- broke his head and ate his organs. The three other friends went back into the woods to look for him but when they finally found him -lying in a pool of blood- they screamed and cried. They ran back to the car and went to the police to explain what had just happened.

Around that time,in the motel, Castiel felt something. He woke the brothers up and they left right away. As they arrived to the police station,they saw a police car leaving. Dean got out of the car to ask what was going on. He came back to told them :

- "We may have a new gig. Something weird happened at the swamps yesterday night... Let's go to see if we can help.".

They drove until the swamps and saw the three 'survivors' of the event. They waited for the officers to leave and walked towards the youngsters.

- "Hi,my name is Sam. This is my brother Dean and our friend Castiel. We are here to help you as well.".

The remaining boy replied:-"Hey! My name's George. My girlfriend,Rebecca and this is Laura. Her boyfriend Josh is the victim.". 

- "A little time before the accident,did you hear anything? Like screams or weird sounds?" Dean asked.

They looked at one another and George -with heavy heart- explained : - "Before the events,we played a rather nasty prank on our girls. Josh stayed behind on purpose,to put on his costume. We just wanted to scare them for fun... They were so scared and ran back to the car. I ran after them. What happened after,I have no idea.". 

The Winchesters and the Angel shared a look,they had a mystical understanding.

They left for the local library to get some informations. Sam and Dean looked for accidents in the swamps while Castiel read about Urban Legends. They spent a few hours and drank lots of coffees. A few accidents had a 'somewhat' relation with what happened yesterday. Until Cas yelled from happiness,Sam and Dean ran to him and covered his mouth with their hands. They looked around quickly, the emplemployee was still sleeping -he didn't even hear Cas' scream.

- "I found it! A young man was murdered because of his forbidden love. His parents drowned him in those very swamps. The spirit seeks revenge on other teens who dare to venture too deep into the swamps." Cas told the hunters.

Sam toussled Cas' hair : - "Bravo! Now let's go to the crime scene to check if everything matches.".

Dean asked their celestial friend:  

- "When did this happen?".

- "Summer of 1632."

The three hunters left the library,ready for their mission.

They arrived to the murder scene and told the police they were Feds. They even had fake IDs. Cas, who wasn't so used to these kind of things,started at the officer until Dean nudged him in his side. He finally showed his badge...upside down and Dean quickly turned it up. 

Sam cleared his throat and explained : - "Please excuse our new officer. He's not used yet to it and he suffers from stress.". 

They soon went to investigate: they found footprints -as if someone had stepped in a wet  spot- and something in those footprints had caught the attention of Cas : it was remains of skin;wet,rotten skin.

Dean,who always carried with him their father's journal about all Supernatural beings (and how to get rid of them/kill them), flipped through the pages to see what they were going to fight and how to beat it.

Dean and Sam read together:

- "Spirit of the Swamps. Very powerful and evil...".

They were interrupted by Cas,who continued : - "The only way to get rid of it is to exorcise the swamps and smite the ghost,when in consistent form.".

- "Dean and I will perform the exorcism. Cas,can you do the smiting?".

Cas nodded and asked his friends : 

- "Which one of you will taunt the spirit to appear?".

The older brother answered : - "I will. My brother is a very skilled exorcist.".

Sam went back to the Impala to take a bottle full of Holy Water and he came back to his 'partners in crime'. Dean jumped into the water,trying to awake the spirit and to make it leave the water. But no results... Sam ran to the police officer who guarded the scene,and asked him the addresses of the three teens. He lied to him and told him he wanted to check some details. The policeman gave them to him and Sam returned triumphant to his companions. They left right away,they were lucky: they found them at Josh's house. They gave his parents (and his friends) condolences,and they told them they needed their help. The teens accepted, but at first they were hesitant. They drove back to the swamps - Dean and Cas were together and Sam was driving the teens' car. When they arrived,Sam explained to the teens their plan and what they expected from them.

- "We need a bait to drive the spirit out of the water. We tried it ourselves but it didn't work.".

Dean added : - "Don't worry,we'll be here to protect you. We even have an Angel to help us,he's our best friend.". 

Rebecca said : - "I'll be the bait.".

Laura interrupted her friend: - "I don't have nothing to lose,I'll be your bait.".

They all agreed and they waited until the night darkened. They talked and joked to spend the time. When it was time,Sam, Castiel and Laura got ready. Dean stayed with Rebecca and George, to explain them how things will go and to answer their questions. 

Sam told Laura to go in the water and pretend that everything was okay.

- "Laura,I want you to swim. Not too far from the shore,so when he comes for you,you can reach the ground in no time.".

- "I'll send him back where he belongs." assured Cas. "Sam is a very skilled exorcist.".

Laura jumped into the water and played well her role,and the spirit followed her. He tried to grab her legs to drawn her but she was faster than he thought. He followed her until the shore and she hid behind some small bushes. The evil spirit though he would get her but Castiel jumped on him and held him tight.

- "Sam, now!" screamed the Angel. 

The spirit was squirming very much and tried to escape the celestial being. Sam, who was used to it, knew by heart the prayers,started the exorcism of the swamps. He threw some Holy Water and drew in the air the Crossing Sign. The evil spirit cried in pain, because of the Holy Water and the prayer. Dean tried to comfort the three teens -Laura came back to her friends- and they were watching the whole event. They were scared but they didn't want to miss a second of it.

The evil spirit was screaming insults and threats,but Castiel and Sam were focused on their mission. He then started to talk about Jessica. 

- "She's in Hell with us. She hates you,you let her die! She sleeps with everyone down there!". 

Sam had a strong will and didn't let the spirit distract him. He held back his tears and repeated the exorcism. The evil creature laughed even if it was unbearably painful. 

Castiel let go of the spirit but very quickly turned it back to face him. He put the palm of his hand on the evil being's forehead and said : - "Go back where you belong! You'll never get out of there ever again!". 

The creature screamed so loud, blinding light shot out of his eyes and mouth. He started to fade and very fast,nothing was left. The swamps were purified, no more teens would be murdered. 

Dean,Sam and Castiel brought back the teens to their houses. They thanked them a long time,they felt so grateful that they had helped them. The three hunters told them that everything was okay,to live their lives free.

As they were driving,Castiel looked one last time behind. He was smiling softly,he was happy he helped people and that he was traveling with his best friends.

- "Where to now,Dean?" Castiel asked.

- "Mystery,Angel. Mystery." Dean answered,with a mysterious smile.
