"Angel we are on a time restriction we must hurry." Castiel looks at Jace with a sense of urgency making Jace frown. 'What the hell could that possibly mean? I really don't like the sound of what he said, and I especially hate the looks that passed between the both of them.
"You're right we can't delay any further. Cam I am sorry, but this will be very painful, but it is for your safety. Eventually I am going to have to do the same for Scar and Ella but right now you're here." He gives me an apologetic look. Before I can open my mouth to speak, I feel the worst bone crushing pain all throughout my body all at once.
I wish that I was dead, it's like a thousand pounds crushing me, shattering every one of my bones all at once. It is so painful that I can't even force a sound through my lips all I can see is that Castiel is radiating this intensely bright blue light, his eyes are that of pure light.
After what felt like a lifetime the pain is gone all at once and I can finally breath. I cautiously flex all of my muscles feeling the slightest tingling sensation. I look at Castiel again recalling the light filed him and surrounded him to find that it appears that nothing ever happened, like it was all just a figment of my imagination.
I clear my throat, "Lets never and I mean NEVER do that again. And on a second note, what in the fuck was that?"
Castiel speaks to me first with no emotion, "We just protected you. The symbols in the house are in you." He looks at Jace knowing he will explain it better.
"What Cas is saying is we essentially scribed you. All of the Enochian symbols on the walls that we used are engraved into every done in your body. The symbols are used to hide you from the arch angels, it also protects your thought and words from being heard by them. Now the difference between Cas and I and the others is that the scribing won't affect us being able to find you or hear you. It will simply keep your thoughts, words and whereabouts from anyone else's knowledge. The only thing that keeps Cas and I able to know these things is the fact that we were the ones who scribed you." He gives me a look that screams that he is waiting for me to run away screaming which is exactly what I want to do but they know more than they are sharing with me and if they know how to protect my sisters I can't just run away.
"Brother, I have minutes they are looking for me. Father is angry that he can't find Camerone. Can you make out any of the words? There is so much panic, and I can't hear what they are saying...Heaven is in much worse condition then I had even guessed possible. Camerone, you need to check-in with me or Angel frequently. Father is planning something very big for you and your sisters." With a stiff nod of his head and a returned nod from Jace, Castiel is gone in the wind.
"Does he really always talk like that? He shows no emotion whatsoever." I raise my eyebrows in question.
"Cas doesn't interact with people so he doesn't know that it makes people uncomfortable, you'll get used to him. He really does mean well. From what I understand prophecy has said that you are meant to be the ultimate protector. Rumors say that once you become an angel you will be stronger than arch angels maybe even strong enough to take God himself down." Jace seems completely at a loss and in deep thought. I go to open my mouth when he begins speaking again.
"Cas' suspicion is that God has found something...something that scares him. We think he has decided to change the future to prevent you from becoming the ultimate protector. From my understanding this is to take place in 4 years... if Cas and I are right...and he kills you sooner you won't come back, and you will not fulfill your destiny. As for what any of this has to do with the girls, we have no idea. I'm sure you probably don't know this but the girls both have... gifts... magic powers I suppose you can call them, what we know is that their gifts are growing rapidly. As for what gifts they have that is yet another mystery. Personally, from an incident that happened with Scarlet at the apartment I do know at least one of her gifts is more of an element, fire specifically."
"Wait what the hell do you mean an incident and what does it have to do with fire?" My heart leaps through my chest and I feel panicked, I can hear the panic straining my voice and I can see the concern on Jace's face.
"I'm so sorry Cam. I didn't realize how much this was. I didn't mean to put so much on your mind and shoulders..." He uses one hand to remove his faded grey cap and runs his free hand through his hair. I begin to panic even more, 'Why is he avoiding telling me exactly what happened? How bad was it?'
"Jace goddamn it what the fuck was the incident that happened with Scarlet!?" I try to breathe deeply, but my anxiety won't allow it. He looks at me with concern and guilt all at once which does not help me instead it causes me even more anxiety than before. He sets his hat down on the table and his head drops low and he clamps his hands behind his neck for a minute before he drops his hands and meets my gaze with a serious look on his face.
"The night before she came out here, she was packing her to go bag... I was on my way there from work and when I got there, I found her and Ella in her closet on the floor... Scar's hands were burned really really badly. I asked her what happened, and she had hesitated to tell me anything, so I didn't push her on it. I used what I had left from being an angel to heal her hands..." He looks down at his hands with a sad look on his face. "When they were healed, I told her part of my secret which in turn she had told me what had happened. She said that she had been packing when Ella scared the hell out of her on accident. From what she said the socks she had in her hands burst into flames burning her but she dropped them still on fire onto the carpet, so she acted quickly using her hands to pat the fire out." He sighs and looks at me with the same look as before, waiting for me to run away screaming.
