I woke to a soft breeze on my face and the voice of a male groaning in pain. my eyes shot open in alarm. I was in the middle of a forest. No memory of how or why I was there. I say up and looked around only to see my father struggling to sit up. "Dad!" I called out and his head snapped up.
"Vala?" he asks, his voice rough.
Yeah, where are we? how did we get here?" I asked.
he shakes his head "I have no clue baby girl, what's the last thing you remember?" he asked.
"Laying down in my bed at my Apartment watching supernatural before bed," I say as I take inventory of myself. I was wearing my black combat boots, black skinny jeans, and a red Crop top. I had my favorite Handgun strapped to one hip and The dagger my dad had made for me for my last birthday strapped to the other. We heard rustling around us. I and my father Drew our guns and stood back to back weary of what could be surrounding us. I froze, they were people, or at least they looked like people but something in the back of my mind whispered Ghouls.
"shit," I say as I aim my gun at there head.
"don't let them near you, they're not human" I call out.
One of the females laugh "very perceptive, but won't change the fact that you're going to be dinner".
I growl lowly "Dad there Ghouls, they die similar to zombies, enough damage to the brain and they die, or decapitation".
I shoot at the female managing a good headshot and she goes down but the others rush us. I hear dad Shooting from behind me. as we each struggle to take them all down.
then without warning, I hear dad Scream. I spin around to see him being restrained by two of them.
"Dad!" I scream as go to rush then only to be grabbed by to more.
"now cant have you saving Daddy" A male to my left snickered.
I growl "Let him go!" I scream struggling against there hold. The just laugh and I watch in horror as one of the ones holding my father took a blade and made a long cut across his chest causing him to scream out in pain. I felt A strong rage start filling me as I watch the ghoul lick up the blood from the cut.
"I SAID LET HIM GO!" I scream as a blinding burning light erupted from me, filling the clearing and turning the ghouls to ash but leaving my father unharmed. my vision starts to blur as I fall to the ground, too weak to stand. I hear my Fathers frantic voice calling my name and two others voice asking who the hell we are. I groan as I struggle to sit up.
I turn to the other voices and I'm completely bewildered. "Dad Stand down, there the good guys, their human," I say.
"who are they" Dad demanded.
I look at him square in the eyes "you're not gonna believe me, but they are Sam and Dean Winchester, as in from the Show Supernatural and judging from there younger appearance and Sam's Pained, lost look. It wasn't that long ago Dean picked Sam up from college" I say.
"how the hell is that even possible" Dad asked in disbelief.
I laugh "wish I knew, but my guess is we got sent to a parallel universe, but why and how is beyond me," I say. I heard Sam and Dean growl lowly.
"what was that light," Dean asked gruffly.
"we were attacked by ghouls, a lot of them. that light randomly happened and turned them to ash after we were captured and the tried feeding of my father" I say calmly as I stand, still weakened from whatever I had just done. Dad helps keep me upright.
"Sam, dean. This is my Father David Archer and I'm Vala Archer" I introduced. They nodded still very confused.
"Maybe you boys could help us figure out how it is we went from our universe to yours and perhaps a way back," I say hopefully.
"We can try our best but nothing like this as ever even been heard of before" Sam stated in a worried tone.
"We'd better get out of here, who knows what else is going to show up" Deans states.
I was still mildly winded and dad was helping me walk even though he himself was injured by the ghouls. Sam seemed to notice this and wordlessly picked me up. causing me to blush lightly.
"Mr. Archer, you are injured, I got Vala" Sam stated.
Dad raised an eyebrow "wow your not fighting him?" he asked. again I turn bright red.
"not like I could beat him, plus he is correct your far to injured to keep supporting my weight," I say. Dad chuckled "sure baby girl, whatever you say".
"dean you are more than welcome to smack my father upside the head" I mumble in annoyance which made the three men laugh.
I took an hour to get to there motel. thankfully by then, I recovered enough to walk on my own.
once in the room I ordered dad to sit his ass in a chair. I then took to examining his wound. I groaned in annoyance. "you'll need stitches" I mutter.
"Sam I assume you have stuff for stitches," I ask which he goes to get.
Dad looks pale which makes me chuckle.
"every time, really," I ask in amusement which causes Dean to look at me in confusion. Dad just shrugs and Stand. "sorry Dad" I mutter before striking a pressure point to knock him out. Dean stares at me in shock. "well don't just stand there, help me lay his ass on a bed" I say with a smirk.
Sam came back just as we finished laying him out.
"what happened to him?" Sam asked in confusion.
"Vala just knocked him out" Dean stated still in shock.
I chuckled and took the medical stuff from Sam.
"He is a big baby when it comes to pain" was the only explanation I gave before going to work on the wound.
"where did you learn to do stitches," Sam asked.
I glanced at him for a moment.
"I took some medical training a few years back" I stated Calmly as I finished up.
So what case you working.
"well, I just rescued Sammy here from a human family that was several sacks of crazy" Dean stated.
I smirk "Aw yes the Humans that hunted other humans" they looked shocked. I turn away from them with a frown. having a moral debate. do I tell the boys about Meg and everything else, or not. they helped so many people, even when in Danger themselves. But it right to let them go through this themselves if I could change things. I groan lowly which thankfully was covered up by my father who also groaned.
"welcome back to the land or the awake and functioning old man" I joked.
He shot me a half-hearted glare "watch it I still young enough to give you a run for your money" He grumbled. I chuckled at him and stood up. "Well while we are here we can help you with a few cases. Any leads?" I ask already knowing what's coming.
"Chicago, Illinois. A woman was found ripped Apart in her locked Apartment" Sam stated as they loaded Everything into there care. I and dad piled into the back before Dean spoke.
"a ghost maybe," Dean asked. I winced and gave a sad look to dad.
It took a while to get there but I thankfully Slept most of the way. After getting separate rooms and the boys being accused once again of being gay, to which Dad laughed his ass off and I made jokes. We went to a Nearby bar. I groaned recognizing it as the one Sam sees Demon bitch.
I follow Sam as he walks up to her.
"Oh my God Sam, Is that you!" I hear the demon exclaim. I watch silently as the events unfold. As Sam walks away I "accidentally" spill a glass of holy water, mixed with whiskey onto Meg who growled lowly in pain. I chuckled darkly "My bad Meg, I tripped," I said as I join the others, knowing I got my message across from the holes being glared into my back. man if looks could kill.
Sam noticed the glare Meg was giving as we left after a furious Dean but said nothing.
After a drama-filled conversation and Sam pointing out the obvious worry about Meg, We divided up. Sam followed Meg as predicted. Dean id some Digging and I looked up lore and research about Meg's little attack Shadows. While dad just Sat on the bed.
"so Take it you already know everything that's about to happen," Dad said.
I sigh and nod "not going to warn the Boys?" he asked.
"I want to but if I do, I don't know what else that will change" I explain.
he was about to respond when the Shadows I was just researching tossed him into a wall with a sickening thud.
"DAD!" I screamed and tried to get to him and I saw them start tearing into him but was thrown back through the motel door. I felt my Eyes burning with unshed tears at my father's Pained Screams I run back in and surprisingly actually seeing the monsters. My Father was ripped up and his pained Called Growing weaker. I felt a large amount of Energy flow through me as I pulled my knife and sliced at the monsters. The seemed to burn away with every cut. I didn't stop time the Disappeared. not even realizing the damage they did to my body during the fight.
I dropped to my knees beside my Dad. I knew deep down he would not make it. the damage was too extensive.
"Dad, we need to get you to a hospital" I choked out.
He winced and tried to smile. "Baby girl I'm old, not stupid. I can't even move my body" He stated, blood running from his mouth as he spoke. My heart sunk "NO! don't talk like that we will get you help" I pleaded.
"Baby girl you were pulled here for a reason I'm sure. stick with the boys, this universe is too dangerous for you to be alone" He stated.
I grabbed his bloodied hand.
"Dad, please don't leave me," I said tears streaming down my face.
"It'll be ok Baby girl, just stay strong" he stated his voice getting weaker with every word.
"I will Dad, I love you" I forced out my voice cracking.
I was shaking as I pressed a kiss to my father's forehead.
" I love you too and baby girl, I know you're worried about the whole butterfly effect, but it's better to try to protect than to stand by and do nothing. I nod in understanding and rested his head in my lap. humming to him as I held his hands in mine. my humming breaking up as my body shakes as I feel my fathers heart stop. I Stayed like that till I hear the boys rush in. they try to get me to speak but I remain silent.
the boys wrap up my father in blankets and as night had already fallen stored him in the trunk. I grab my blade and finally turn to them. "Meg is a Demon, you two are bait for her trap," I said calmly. the boys look at each other in shock.
"but her pets she sent to kill me are dead so time to send the bitch back to hell" I growl.
We go to the warehouse and as predicted we get caught.
"your suppose to be dead" Meg informs.
"sorry to disappoint sweetheart" I snarled.
She glares at me.
"so old yellow eyes sent you to trap the oldest Winchester, he shouldn't underestimate John so much as to send such a weak demon," I say making the boys stare wide-eyed at me. She strikes me hard across the face. She then gets up close to me pulling my head back by my hair.
"who are you" she growls. instead of answering, I spit blood into her face.
"Sam now" I growled and he starts chanting and she screams and tried to attack him but I had broken free and restrained her. The demon smoked out and the girl collapsed in my hold. I put my ear to her chest and thankfully her heartbeat was strong. Dean carried her out of the building and we left her outside the hospital before driving back to the motel. We get in and see a man at the window. Dean aimed his gun but I stopped him. "don't Dean, it's your father" I said pain in my voice.
"Hello boys" John spoke. I walked out of the room giving them space. I leaned against the Impala and closed my eyes. I was still angry and confused. Why did this happen? what did my father have to die? I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see John there.
"The boys told me what happened And that it was your knowledge that helped them. Your father Die like a hunter and If you would like we can put him to rest like one" He said softly. I nod before looking around.
"the colt you want is in Manning, Colorado. go alone, without the boys. Sammy will end up developing abilities but you need not worry. He won't go dark side. get there as soon as you can. your hunter friend has the gun. The boys have a lot of bad ahead. I'll try to prevent what I can"I say. John smiles sadly " I figured as much. thank you".
We soon leave only to stop in the middle of know were and set up a funeral pier. I watched my father's body burn. John hung back but Sam and Dean were right there next to me.
after a while, I turn away.
"Well boys, and Vala, I got to head out but ones I get everything together I'll come to you, to take down this demon," John said. Sam was about to argue but I held up a hand.
"Trust me, Sam, it's for the best," I say dryly.
He looks sad but nods.
With that, we went our separate ways.
