i woke up, my head spinning, and my body shaking. i felt sick as if i had just got off a roller coaster. pretty much, i felt like i had been hit by a freight train. i looked up and saw what i thought was a a dream standing over me. but actually it was an angel. something i thought i would never ever see. and the crazier part was who the angel was. his name was Castiel and i knew this before he opened his mouth to introduce himself.
he reached out a hand to me and i took it letting him pull me to my feet. my head spun and he caught me as i almost fell.
"where am i, and why do i feel like i am dying?" i asked staring into his cobalt eyes. his seriousness scared the shit out of me and i wanted to cower away from him.
"you are fine, your body has reacted to me moving you through a dimensional time to here." he said to me like a robot stating a fact. I looked down and around me. I almost didn't recognize the place. I stood in the crossroads. the one where dean made his deal for his little brother. what was I doing here?
"why did you bring me here?" I asked, but I knew the answer. I had prayed to god to let me help the brothers save the world. I had even told god my plan in my little prayer. but I never would have thought he was going to answer me. so here I am playing gods little warrior. and I have to stop dean from what he was going to do next.
"your prayer has been answered, dean will be here soon. be ready." and castiel was gone. I stood there and looked down at the bag at my feet. it was my overnight bag and it had my gun and knives in it. I never left home without them. the mortal world was just as dangerous as the immortal one. I walked over to the center of the crossroads and dug up the little box. I needed a picture, so I pulled my college id off my belt and put it inside the box. I put it back in the hole and covered it back up. and I waited.
"hello little girl, what can I do for you today?" the demon asked as I knelt in front of him. he was beautiful, black hair and crystal like eyes. like my vampires from so many of my stories. he held out a hand to me and for the second time that night I took the offer and stood.
"i want to make a deal for a life. but I have something much more precious then my soul to give up." I stated. I knew that god would have given me the powers I requested. that he would of made me a charmed one, especially for this occasion. the demon smiled as he read me. he knew.
"a charmed one here in our world? such a pleasure to meet you." he said to me and he kissed my hand. if he had not been a demon I would of swooned like a lady in a thirties film. but instead I looked away.
"I'll trade three powers for the life of Sam winchester... and you can choose which to take." I offered not looking at the demon. I was terrified that he would reject my offer and I would fail castiel.
"deal, now you know what comes next little girl." the demon said smiling even more wickedly at me. he pulled me close with one arm and kissed me passionately. my mind swam, not believing that it worked. and then I stumbled, no longer being held up by the handsome demon. I thought I was alone, not realizing that dean had pulled up behind me and the demon. just as I sealed the deal.
he walked past me and began digging up my box. I tried to stop him and he shoved my hand away. I saw the tears on his face and saw the determination. but I had to stop him.
"dean... it's already done..." I whispered to him. he froze over the hole he dug. he had heard me but I knew I was in for a verbal beating or worse. I just took a step away as he stood to face me.
"what are you talking about..." he demanded angrily. I held myself as I looked at him. I wanted to cry.
"i... made the deal already. Sam's alive..." I said barely loud enough for him to hear. he took me by the arms and shook me...
"who are you! how did you know about Sam?" he demanded
I actually began to cry, I had my weapons but I couldn't bring myself to hurt dean. he was hurting enough. I just let him shake me.
"I'm sorry but I couldn't let you go to hell.... I ... just ... couldn't..." I cried. I let it out and he let me go. "Sam's alive now and I had to do it so you wouldn't.... I'm sorry..."
dean took a step away from me and the look he had on his face was him thinking I was crazy.
"so now your going to hell? why? I don't even know you..." he asked calmly. I looked up at his face, my tears still falling.
"you may not know me, but I know you... I came here for you... for Sam... hell I came here to do what you couldn't..." I said I blurted it all out. screw castiel and his "prime directive". dean needed to know why.
"what do you mean, what I couldn't do?" he asked. I simply looked into his eyes and sighed.
"stop the apocalypse..." and I looked away. he definitely thought I was crazy.
"can we go to your brother, he's got to be awake now, and we don't need him running off... oh and call bobby, tell him Sam's okay and we need to meet him." who cares if he thinks I am crazy.
"wait you didn't even tell me your name, and how the hell do I know if your a demon or not?"
dean asked stopping me. I stopped and looked at him smiling for the first time that night.
"one, the name is Sara archer, and two, demons don't make deals with demons. but hey if holy water will ease your mind then go for it." I smirked sarcastically at dean. he just stared at me dumbfounded.
"and your not worried about hell?" he asked me following me to the impala. I shook my head.
"dean, I am a charmed one. I have more to give up than a soul, and before you ask it wasn't a child or anything creepy. I gave up some of my gifts..." I explained as I climbed into the precious car and sat back.
"gifts???" dean asked. I wasn't sure how to explain it.
"well I was born with gifts. some say they're from god, others say I'm a witch. but I dont like stereo types. either way, I use them for good. I don't know what I have left though. the demon took most of them..." I finished explaining and dean looked uncomfortable.
"what could you do before?" he asked
"i could astral project, thats always fun, but I cant always control it. then I could freeze things and blow things up. those were scary when I first got them. then I can move things with my mind. I have premonitions. and I can orb... and I can heal wounds. but not the dead... all in all I was a walking arsenal. now I don't know what I can do. so, eh, yeah..." I explained even more to dean. he just stared out the wind shield. I stared with him. and then I jumped out of my skin and at the same time orbed when deans cellphone rang. next thing I knew I was sitting in the back seat instead of the front. dean slammed on the brakes and put the impala in park...
" what the hell was that?" he asked startled
" I orbed... one of the gifts I was telling you about... it's controlled by my emotions... your cellphone startled me." I babbled holding up my hands as if in surrender.
"well keep it in check. I don't need you orbing my baby into the ocean." dean said to me as he turned to face the front again. I smiled and orbed back into the front seat. dean jumped when he looked over.
"damn girl, what the hell. you trying to give me a heart attack?" I just laughed at him.
the rest of the car ride was quiet, except dean calling bobby back and filling him. it was a good thing bobby apparently heard about the charmed one prophecy. and that was me. here to save the world, and the winchester's. once we got there we got out and I stopped in my tracks. dean and bobby turned to look at me.
" I have a faster way to get there, you know. instead of walking for two hours." I said to them.
"can we trust you?" bobby asked.
"well yeah, I need you two to give me directions, all you need to do is concentrate on Sam and I will orb us to him." I said holding out a hand to each man. they looked at each other, shrugged, and then took my hands. they closed there eyes and I felt the location through them. and next thing we were there. dean hit his knees and bobby swayed on the spot.
"sorry, it sucks the first time you do it. kinda like a roller coaster on steroids..." I apologized and helped dean up. just in time for Sam to practically tackle him back to the floor. I stepped back and watched the embrace. they sure did love each other... bobby laughed when Sam groaned from dean trying to squeeze the life back out of him.
"dean... air..." Sam said
"sorry man," dean said letting him go.
it was just like the episode except I was the one who brought Sam back, not dean. and I was the one who looked to bobby and told him the plan to get the colt back. they all just listened as I explained everything. I knew we had to stop Jake, which I could do. then Sam had to pretend to follow yellow eyes' orders. once he passed the tracks and got the colt he was to kill yellow eyes' on the spot. and then we were to destroy the colt once and for all. they were shocked when I explained the demon trap and the hell gate, right in the center of southern Wyoming.
" It's been there this whole time and you guys been parading around with the key to the hell gate. the gun could of started everything I came here to stop... we can't let Lilith escape hell..." I said not thinking. dean looked at me concerned.
"who's Lilith?" he asked and I looked away. I didn't want to remember him getting torn alive by Lilith's hell hounds...
"she's worse then yellow eyes... I saw her kill... you, dean... in a premonition..." I explained
( I do not own any characters or themes or plots ect, from supernatural or charmed. thank you.)
