I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself as I looked in the mirror. I glared at the black orbs staring back at me, the things that I hated so much. I'd barely pulled myself out of hell and thought I wanted to go home, I knew I needed to control my demon side. I'd been in the pit for almost two years' earth time, and I'd only lasted half a month on the rack before I turned. Since I went down with my whole body I came back with my whole body, I was hoping I could convince the brother's I still had human in me, even though I knew it wasn't true.
I shot my head up hearing someone flush the toilet in a nearby stall and left the bathroom, walking back into the main area of the gas station. I tried to keep my head down, people would freak if they saw me. As I was looking down I didn't see the man in a long black trench coat step directly in front of me. I jumped when I slammed into him. I looked up and swallowed back a lump at who it was. "Crowley." I mumbled.
"How's my little escapee." He said grabbing my chin and tilting it up to look at him. "And I was just about to promote you." He said tisking. If I had been human I wouldn't have been scared of him, but he was the king of hell and right now I was under his control. One flick of the wrist and I would cease to exist. "You could've had Alistair's position, you were so good at it."
I just closed my eyes. "Look, you and I both know I wasn't cut out for this. I'm weak and have a very low pain tolerance, do you really want me on your-" I never finished my sentence, Crowley grabbed my neck and threw me across the room causing the people to panic. He just ignored them though and advanced on me. "Please, if you just let me go it'll be like I was never there." I said standing up wincing.
Crowley shrugged lifting me up. "The issue is, I like you." He said annoyed. "So I can't kill you and neither can I let you go." He said and shook his head tisking once again. "Also, you were good at your job, you still will be." He said and dropped me. "That's why I'm going to let you go back to the Winchester's and live your merry life, if you do the jobs I give you on the side. Can you handle that?" I nodded silently as he vanished. I took a deep breath and looked at the terrified eyes pointed in my direction. I didn't say anything but just stood up and walked out the door, I'd known he would find me, I just didn't realize how quickly.
It was a long walk to the Bunker but I made it in two days' time. I also learned some interesting things. I needed sleep, I needed food, water, and I didn't have the super strength like most. I ended up deciding it was due to the fact that I still had my body. Once I reached the big iron door, I realized how hard it was going to be to fake humanity. I just took a deep breath and put my hands on the iron bars wincing as my skin started to burn and sizzle. I turned it the right amount of times and then finally it creaked open. I looked down at my next challenge to conquer, the devil's trap. I took a step trying to go around but ended up losing my balance and falling right smack in the middle of it. "S***!"
It was almost an hour and a half later whenever one of the Winchesters walked through the hallway. I was thankful that it was Sam. "Alex?" He asked instantly pulling out his demon knife. I flinched at the sight of it. "Alex, is that you?"
I nodded looking down. "Hey Sam." Whelp, there went my whole trying to convince him I'm human. "Could you uh, let me out?" I asked hopeful using my best puppy eyes. I took a deep breath trying not to panic, if it had been Dean I would've been dead already, but it was Sam and there was still a chance I could live. "It's me, I swear." I said.
"Yes, but even if it is you..." He trailed off pointing at the symbol. I rolled my eyes and folded my arms. "I can't let you out." He was clearly taking this situation way more seriously than I was. "Not until I get Dean so we can decide to either, purify you, let you go, or kill you." Those last words were ominous for me. I took a deep breath and nodded trying to stay calm. "I'll be back, stay put." He said and awkwardly walked around me. I wasn't surprised that he wasn't surprised that I was back.
"Hands up." I sat up and looked at Dean who had his sawed off, which was most likely filled with salt. I lifted my hands complying. "I'm going to let you out, but you aren't going to run, you aren't going to speak, and you are going to walk with your back against my gun. He said and reached down scraping off some of the paint. I felt Sam grab my shoulder tightly and let him lead me until I was in front of Dean, that's when I felt the hard press of a gun.
I sucked in a deep breath and walked into the dank dungeon area. I hated it, I instantly felt trapped with all of the iron and sigils. "Alright take a seat." Dean said pushing me into an iron chair that burned the back of my legs and bare arms. "Cuffs." Dean said and Sam rapped them around my wrists.
"So you will sit tight here, while we go extract some blood and then we can get to work purifying you." Sam said as they walked out of the door all love that they once had for me gone. I shouldn't have felt sad about it but I did, it hurt.
"Good to see you Dad, I missed you." I mumbled under my breath at the iron door that was blocking off all light. I felt a bitter tear roll down my cheek as I pushed back the unwanted emotion. I decided then I wouldn't struggle, no matter how much the purification hurt, I was going to be human again.
This is the third and last story to the Alex Choronicles! It took a long time but it is finally finished and I am relieved! I hope you all enjoy this one! It isn't quite as fast paced as the other two but I think that may be better. Please tell me what you think about it so far!
