The Host Chapter 4 Behind the Surface promo pics

Cas and Alexia were sitting at the living table, playing Don’t lose your head and Cas was losing, when the kengele rang.
“I think that’s the babysitter” Cas alisema and he stood up and walked to the front door. When he opened the door he saw a teenage girl. She was wearing a blue tank juu and jeans. Her clothes stuck on her body from the rain. She was holding a rugsack over her head to avoid getting any wetter.
“Are wewe going to let me in?” she alisema shivering. Cas stepped aside and let the girl in, after which he closed the door.
“Are wewe Shannen?” he asked.
“Uhu” Shannen confirmed....

Just like the first time he’d had a patient Cas just needed to close his eyes and concentrate. When he opened his eyes he and Alexia were standing in front of a poor looking house.
“I don’t think the people that live here will have the money to pay you, uncle Emmanuel” Alexia alisema sad.
“I won’t ask for money” Cas replied. “The mother and her son can offer me their gratitude. That will be enough”
That cheered Alexia up. “You really are a good person, uncle Emmanuel”
Cas frowned. It seemed like Alexia was trying to convince him of that, but he didn’t know why. He walked...

His hand hurt so much he couldn’t speak.
“Can I speak with wewe for a moment? Outside?” the female cop said. She grabbed his arm and pulled him outside. As soon as the door closed she let him go.
“For God’s sake, it’s your first siku back. wewe really going to ruin it now? Control yourself” she hissed. “Did wewe hear what he said? He’s basically telling us that the poor woman had it coming” he snapped.
“I heard him, okay?” she said. Her face got a little softer. “Look, I know it’s hard, aliyopewa the circumstances, but wewe have to keep it together”
“I know”
“How’s...

Cas sank down on the bed. How was he supposed to find this Macky-person if he didn’t know where he lived au how he looked? Why didn’t Daphne ask the address? She must’ve been really upset with him.
He walked downstairs, just in time to see Daphne throwing the waffles in the garbage bin. “What are wewe doing? Meg made those waffles for me…and you”
Daphne looked up. “And we all know what happens when Meg starts handing out food. Have wewe forgotten what happened to Zoey and me?” she snapped.
“I’m sorry” Cas alisema soft. “I’m going to find that man. Will wewe be okay, here?”...

Daphne opened the wardrobe and picked out a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. She gave it to Cas. “We already know wewe have the same size as my brother, so why not wear his clothes”
“Shouldn’t I have my own clothes?” Cas asked careful.
“We’re not going to spend money if it’s not really necessary” Daphne alisema reproachful. “Besides, you’re really not in a position to make demands”
Cas looked down, ashamed of his behavior. Then he looked up again. “You’re right. I’m sorry” he alisema and he put on the clothes.
Daphne’s phone rang and as she picked up she said: “Make the...

Cas walked downstairs, his suit in his arms, when he bumped into someone. “Watch out where you’re going” a slow, familiar and female voice said.
“What are wewe doing here?” Cas asked.
“Saving you” Meg alisema smug. “I saw wewe walking into the house and well, I know a thing au two about weddings. No celebration before the ceremony. No seeing the bride before the ceremony. I bet your Daphne Dearest is now going all crazy”
“You shouldn’t be here” Cas said, looking around, hoping no one would see them together.
“You’re absolutely right” Meg nodded. “But neither should you....

Cas was cleaning up the mess the guests had left behind when he saw Daphne’s reflection in the mirror. He looked down and put the glasses in the sink.
“Emmanuel” Daphne alisema soft. Cas didn’t respond. “Emmanuel, look at me” Cas reluctantly turned around, but still didn’t look at her.
Daphne cupped his face, forcing him to look up. “Emmanuel, honey, I am so sorry for yelling at you. Please believe me”
The look in his eyes made her step back. “You’re not afraid of me, are you?” she asked slowly. Cas didn’t answer that question.
“You should consider your actions before...

Two weeks later

Daphne was in the shower, Zoey was out and Cas was sitting at the breakfast meza, jedwali when the kengele rang. Still in his dressing-gown and bare feet he opened the door and stared at two older people. The man had grey hair, a big nose, brown eyes and chubby cheeks. The woman had chestnut hair, but that wasn’t her natural color. She had green eyes, a sharp face and thin lips.
“Are wewe going to let us in?” the man said. His wife was a little too shocked kwa the fact that Cas wasn’t dressed yet.
“I can’t let strangers in” Cas said.
“Those are my parents, moron” Zoey said....

“He’s a cop, Zoey!” Daphne exclaimed. “What else do wewe need?”
“I’m sorry, D, I wasn’t thinking” Zoey said.
Cas was sitting at the jikoni meza, jedwali watching Daphne and Zoey arguing.
“Perhaps it might be better if I would find another place to stay” he suggested. Zoey rotated her head to him.
“Finally something smart coming out of your mouth” she said. “You know what? Get up, I’ll drive wewe myself”
Cas stood up, but Daphne walked to him and pushed him on the chair again.
“You’re not going anywhere” she alisema sharp.
Zoey took a deep breath. “Maybe we should...

The nurse opened the door and pushed the wheelchair into the room. Daphne was sitting on the kitanda and at the meza, jedwali there was an officer standing.
“I would like to ask your patient a few questions” he cut to the chase.
“I’m not sure my patient is physically au mentally strong enough to answer any” the doctor said, while entering the room.
“I feel fine” Cas mumbled.
“Well, wewe heard him. He’s peachy. Please leave the room” the officer alisema with a wave of his hand.
“I’m not going anywhere” Daphne alisema stubborn.
“That’s okay” the officer alisema with a smug look. He rotated...

“Sir, can wewe hear me?”
Cas slowly opened his eyes and blinked. He lifted his hand to shut the sharp light out. Someone was pointing a really small flash light at his eyes.
“Sir, I need to check your eyes. Could wewe hold your hands down, please?”
It was a man and he was wearing a white coat. Cas vaguely remembered these people were called doctors.
“Looks all good” the doctor said. He looked up at Cas. “You are one very lucky man, Mister…?”
Cas shook his head. “I don’t know what my name is. I don’t know anything…about anything” He alisema it as if he was talking about not...

The Impala was still parked on the same spot. Meg walked around the car and opened the trunk. She opened one of Cas’ bags and pulled out the first shati she got her hands on. “Get in the car” she told Cas. “No, passenger seat” she added, when Cas wanted to step inside the driver’s seat. “You can’t drive like that”
She put herself behind the wheel. “I’m surprised wewe can drive at all” she mumbled.
“I can’t” Cas replied. He leaned backwards and closed his eyes.
“Keys?” Meg alisema to herself, looking at the connection. “Keys” she answered her own swali as...

Dean opened the door of the mansion and he and Sam entered. Anna had told them where to find Cas.
Dean walked into the living room and saw the old man on the carpet, his eyes wide open. Sam pulled out his gun and so did Dean.
“Cas?” Dean called.
Meg’s eyes widened and Cas quickly covered her mouth. He pulled her behind the closet. “Hush” he whispered and he removed his hand.
Dean looked at Sam and signed he’d tafuta upstairs and Sam would tafuta downstairs. Dean sneaked upstairs and listened carefully.
Sam ran downstairs into the basement and became sick when he saw the two corpses....

“Cas?” Meg called from the living room in the mansion. She was standing inayofuata to the corpse of the owner of the mansion.
Cas stumbled upstairs and came into the living room. He fell backwards against the ukuta and sank down on the carpet.
Meg quickly ran towards him and bent through her knees. She took his hands and noticed the blood on his hands. “Are wewe hurt?”
Cas shook his head. “No” he alisema out of breath. “It’s not my blood. It’s Frederik’s and Marcus’s” He looked at Meg, terrified.
Meg swallowed. “Did wewe kill them?” she asked, though she already knew the answer....

Cas opened the buttons on Frederik’s shirt. He placed the sword against the right side of his chest.
“Let’s play a game” he whispered. “I’ll call it the pot calling the kettle black” He pierced the point of the sword into Frederik’s flesh and started forming a letter. “You thought I did something. I was found innocent. The so-called victim clearly stated I did not do what wewe accuse me off. And yet wewe believed I was guilty and so wewe took matters in own hands. wewe punished me for my crime” He put the letter on the cabinet and started a new letter. “And now I’ll punish...

Think, Frederik, think. Talk to him. Keep him from whatever it is he’s planning with you, Frederik thought.
“What we did was wrong, I know that” he alisema loud. “But wewe have to understand. I have a daughter and I was afraid that wewe would-”
“That I would what?” Cas interrupted furious, pointing the sword against Frederik’s throat. “That I would rape her? Just like I raped Alex? For the last time I didn’t do that!”
“Please, man, I have a wife and two kids. They need me” Frederik begged.
“You spent every evening in that café, don’t wewe think they’re better off without...

Cas appeared inside a mansion, holding his two victims tightly. The owner of the house stood up from his kiti, kiti cha and looked shocked at the intruder.
“What, in heaven’s name, do wewe think you’re doing?” the older man asked furious.
Cas pushed the men on the floor and walked steady to the man. Before the man could do so much as blink, Cas grabbed his neck and snapped it. Then he walked back to the others, grabbed their collars and dragged them to the basement.
He chained them up on their wrists and a few sekunde later they were hanging on the ceiling. He searched their pockets and conjured...

Cas’ phone rang as he walked slowly towards the other two men. Without looking he picked up. “Meg”
“Where are you?” Meg asked a little hysterical. She was standing kwa the table, holding Cas’ note in her hand.
“I believe I left wewe a piece of paper with my whereabouts” Cas replied.
“Yeah. Dear Meg, I have some unfinished business I have to deal with. I’ll be back tomorrow” Meg read from the note. “What unfinished business? Where are you?” she repeated a little angry.
Cas didn’t answer immediately. He had spotted his targets and caught up with them. “Do wewe remember...

Cas walked inside the same café he had been the night he found out Meg was human, too. He looked around and noticed to his great delight that the same three men were sitting at the same meza, jedwali as last time he had seen them there.
He stared at them, until they felt it and turned their heads to him. He smirked as if he wanted to say: ‘Come and get me’
He turned around and left the café. The three men looked at the bartender. “Come on, he’s asking for it” one of them alisema disbelieving. The bartender shot them a warning glance. He allowed it once, but not again.
“I will call the cops...

Cas rubbed his eyes and looked at his friends. “I understand you’re a little overwhelmed” he started. “But I would really like to sleep now”
“Yeah, okay, we can talk tomorrow” Meg alisema with a warning look at Dean.
Cas walked to the single kitanda and started to undress. Then he realized the amount of eyes staring at him. “Are wewe all going to watch me sleep?”
“No, of course not” Sam alisema quickly. He put a hand on Claire’s shoulder. “We’ll take this young lady back home. Come on” he alisema Claire, but Claire pushed his hand away. She walked towards Cas.
“You killed my...
