Chapter 17 - Exodus

My body shakes with uncontained rage, and I want nothing more then to tear his head away from his body. I feel a hand reach down and take mine, squeezing it tightly. But I can't focus on Sam right now, because all I can see is my brother.

His eyes are locked on Jack and he begins to walk towards him. I let go of Sam's hand and teleport in front of him. He stops at my presence and I warm my palm up with my power, ready to use it at a moments notice.

"Sam, what happened?" Dean asks, his voice floating over the silence.

"He... He brought me back." Sam whispers.

Lucifer smiles and shrugs his shoulders innocently, "It's what I do."

"It is not what you do-" Cas begins, but I cut him off with a growl, "How did you get here?"

"VIP pass. I'm with the band." He jests, but I'm not in the mood for his wit. He sighs and holds his hands up, "Come on, shouldn't you be thanking me? I gave Sammy an extra life. Besides, what with my, little bro here being a hot mess, I figured you'd need me. So I'm here to join the team."

Lucifer tries to walk around me to Jack, but I stand in front of him with my eyes shining an electric blue. He smirks at me and chuckles before looking over my shoulder, "Your name is Jack."

"And your's is Lucifer." He states.

"No, no, no. You don't talk to him." Dean commands as he walks over and points at Lucifer, before turning to Jack, "And you don't listen to him."

"Um, don't you think that's his choice?" Lucifer asks and Cas states firmly, "No."

"Are you trying to keep me from my son?" He demands and Cas steps forward, "No, this is Kelly Kline's son."

"He's nothing like you." I spit and my brother glower's at me, "Don't say he's nothing like me. I'm the only one who understands him. This power he has? I'm powerful, dangerous, ruthless."

He turns and quickly speaks to my nephew, "In the best sense though."

"No, kill him." Dean commands.

I turn my head and Gabriel looks hesitant, but I see the archangel blade in his hand that he grips tightly. Lucifer chuckles as he spots it too, "He can't. He's not strong enough."

"He doesn't have to be." I mutter.

I throw my hands forward, and he goes flying back through the air and into a tree. He cries out and I teleport over and snatch the blade off of Gabriel before teleporting over to Lucifer. The others make a run for me, but I push them back with my power as I run for Lucifer.

I go to slash at him with the knife and he dodges, going to punch me but I'm quicker. I land a punch to his stomach, a kick to his leg and a punch to the face. He falls to the ground and I straddle him, the blade raised in the air, "I told you I'd be the one to kill you."

He looks at me with wide and terrified eyes as I go to plunge the blade into his heart.

"Stop it!" Jack yells, his voice echoing around the woods.

The blade remains an inch from his heart, my hand frozen in the air. I can't move it and I look over, seeing Jack's bright golden eyes and his hand raised. I grit my teeth before turning and glaring down at Lucifer, who smirks up at me. Reluctantly, I move my hand away from him and push myself to my feet. The rustling of wings reaches my ears and I turn to see Jack is gone.
