Cthylla approaches me, holding some water bottles in her hands, and gazes at the blond demon who still hasn't moved away from Rumsfeld.
"Are you another hunter? ... No, you're something else," she says and finally steps away from the weakly breathing animal.
Afterwards her eyes turn black, and she looks first at me and then at Cthylla before saying, "Whatever you two are, I don't have a problem with you, so why don't we call it a day and go our separate ways?"
I don't answer her and simply walk toward her, placing my pistol back into my pants, while she slowly steps back, raising her hands in surrender.
Then I kneel down next to Rumsfeld, placing a hand on the good boy and using the pain-sharing spell on him until his breathing becomes regular again, and he appears to be sleeping.
"Witchcraft and this special weapon... you're a strange one, but I like that. Maybe we can be useful to each other," the demon says with a grin, and I raise my hand to stop Cthylla from beating the grin out of her face.
I stand up and step in front of her, looking into her sinister black eyes. If you consider that people say that the eyes are a window to the soul, then you can imagine what is going on with hers…
"In one thing, you're right, you can be useful," I say and then grab her neck, raising her in the air, which makes Cthylla smile at me.
"What... what are you doing? You don't know... what kind of enemy... you're getting here..."
"I guess a yellow-eyed one, right?" I ask her, and she looks shocked. Then continue, "Of course, it has something to do with the brothers. Why else would demons attack such a low-key character like Bobby?"
"I will... tell you... nothing," she says after calming down, before opening her mouth and screaming, "Ahhhh!" which causes her smoky form to attempt to escape from her mouth.
"Then I will find out myself and kill you afterwards," I say, while using telekinesis to make the black smoke tangible. Then grab it and forcefully shove it back into her mouth.
"Wow... that looked epic. You need to teach me how to do that," says Cthylla, stepping next to me, while I wink at her and then try to establish a connection with the demon in front of me.
Even though I know how to invade someone's mind, since I did the same to myself when the Trickster locked me up in the time loop, it will be the first time I do it on someone else.
But it seems that it's not that hard... by holding her, I already have somewhat of a connection to her, and being so close to her malevolent aura allows me to see past the human shell she is using.
"No, I will not allow that!" she screams and tries to hit me, but it's already too late, and her fist freezes midair while the world around me starts to blur.

Suddenly, I find myself standing in a bedroom, with the blond demon kneeling in front of a guy in a janitor's suit. And even though the vessel is different, I immediately recognize who it is...
"Meg, my daughter, it's time. I could see through the boy's eyes that they have finally found the colt, so the time has come. Even though I wish they would take more time, since the boy is far from being ready yet," says the demon as his eyes turn sinister yellow.
"Father, why him? Let me take the colt from his death hands and free our people without this human. We can use one of the more willing children instead," states Meg, looking confused at her 'father.'
Other children like Sam? That could get troublesome…
"Oh, child, there are many things you don't know about. Freeing our people is only the beginning, what comes afterwards is what truly matters, and this boy will be the key to it, you'll see," says the yellow-eyed demon while kneeling to Meg and grabbing her chin.
"I... I understand, father."
This makes him smile, and he says, "Good girl, now go and make them bring the Colt to you."
"How should I do it? They will not willingly give up the weapon that can kill us and would probably rather hide it in the end," says Meg, seeking advice from her mentor.
I think I've heard something intriguing there. It seems I will soon have a new addition to my collection. And if the brothers don't let me borrow it, maybe I can find out how the weapon works and then replicate it.
"It's simple. Eliminate all their associates, especially those close to John since he is the one who will protect the weapon the most. Then demand the Colt in exchange for the other lives.
But start with the hunter Bobby Singer. He not only has a deep connection to the boy but also a history with their father. So, you could kill two birds with one stone, hardening the boy and making the father worry about his other friends."
Meg evilly smiles at him while her eyes turn to the shade of darkness and says, "Of course, father, that is a brilliant idea."
The yellow-eyed demon nods, and then his smile disappears as he says, "There is something else you need to investigate. I lost the connection two times to Sam, as if something or someone was blocking it. Find and destroy or eliminate it, I can't have something interfering with my plans. Understood?"
Oh, were those the two times I met the brothers?
"Yes, father, I will deal with it. I promise you that," says Meg, lowering her head in a show of obedience.
"Good. I trust you in this regard, but take your brothers with you. It's better to be safe than sorry."
"Of course, we will not disappoint you," says Meg as she stands up to walk out of the bedroom. When she walks through the door, the world blurs again around me, and I find myself standing next to Bobby's house again.
"Rasiel, what are you doing? She is dying…" says Cthylla and grabs my arm, while Meg's eyes start to flicker with an orange light.
So, I let go of her automatically, "Ahhh!" and she uses the opportunity to leave her body...
---
"Are you alright?" What happened?
"I have no idea, but it seems I've dug too deep and nearly killed her this way," I respond, feeling a bit confused about the situation. It's like the connection started to break her apart.
But It's only the second time I've encountered demons, and I shouldn't normally have the power to kill them like this. Wait... no, it wasn't the second time. I also absorbed some of the yellow-eyed demon's aura when I healed Sam.
So, I guess my body didn't destroy it completely back then and left something behind that can kill demons without knowing their true name.
"Sounds sexy... so those were demons. They are always different in every world, and these ones seem to be something like ghosts on drugs," says Cthylla, looking at the lying woman.
*Cough* Suddenly, the blonde woman coughs up blood, and her aura starts to weaken. This makes Cthylla step back, surprised, saying, "What the hell? Now the vessel is dying."
I kneel down to inspect her and see how countless wounds start to appear around her body, as if someone is ripping her apart right now. Except there is no one here except us.
"It seems like the demons don't really care about their vessel or are not able to heal them. That's why the wounds that the vessel got during the possession seem to reappear again after the demon leaves them," I explain after analyzing the wounds that appear to be old.
"That's cruel. Will you help her? Maybe she remembers some stuff?" asks my soft girlfriend, and I place my hand on the woman's head and invoke the pain-sharing spell.
"Actually, I already know what she was doing here," I say while the woman's wounds are being transferred to me.
"Really?" asks Cthylla and I nod before continuing, "Yes, they are basically after the friends of the Winchesters to get a Colt that seemingly can kill demons and also help somehow to free other demons."
There were also the other people like Sam but that doesn't matter at the moment…
"That sounds like a nice thing to have, but they didn't have it the last time we met them, did they?"
I shrug, "No idea, but I would like to see it..." Then I pick up the now-healed woman, saying, "Let's go inside. I can sense Bobby in the basement."
She nods, and we enter the house, leaving the good boy outside, happily sleeping. Then I place the woman on Bobby's couch, and we walk downstairs, towards Bobby's panic room.
"Not only a hunter but also a prepper, it seems," says Cthylla after seeing it from the outside.
"Yeah, he mentioned that it was his weekend hobby or something like that. He also said it's warded against everything, so let's see if this is true."
I stretch out my hand, unlock it from the inside, and then open the metal door slowly. Afterwards, I immediately step to the side while pressing my girlfriend against the wall. *Bang*
"Bobby, stop shooting salt at us! I've already taken care of the demons..."
Nothing happens for a few seconds, so I look inside to see him still pointing the shotgun at the entrance. When he sees me, he finally puts down the weapon and sighs loudly.
"This crazy old fart should get his eyes checked. Do we look like the blonde chick and the other guys to him?" hisses the annoyed eldritch entity behind me when we enter the panic room.
Then I stretch out my hand towards Bobby, asking, "Hey, Bobby, having a rough d—" *Splash* but I receive a splash of salty and probably blessed water in my face in return.
"Always a pleasure to get greeted like that," I say while spitting out the water. "You never can be sure," says Bobby and then looks at Cthylla while readying his flask.
But she folds her arms under her bosom while threatening him, "If you splash me with that, you will find it where the sun doesn't shine, I promise you that..."
Bobby considers this for a few seconds, then makes the wisest decision of his life and puts away the flask.
