"Again." Gabriel commanded. Dominic summoned the heaven fire and it surrounded her before dispersing in a massive shock wave that would have destroyed any demon close to her.
"Very good" he clapped. It had been a few weeks since Gabriel had taken her under his wing so to speak. He had not only helped her improve on the skills she already knew but had taught her new skills. Trickster magic. Of course she was nowhere near his level. Gabriel handed her a plate of cookies. Dominic understood why he consumed a diet high in sugar. This magic took a lot of energy to pull off.
"I think you're ready." he said. "Really?" Dominic asked excitedly. "Of course but first." he said looking at his wrist as if checking a watch. Dominic rolled her eyes and shook her head. She had gotten used to his sense of humor. A tear appeared in the dimensional barrier and Dominic stared back at herself through the rift. It was her elemental doppelganger. She had sent it back to cover for her at college. "How's it going?" her doppelganger smiled handing her a fresh set of clothes. "Right on schedule." Gabriel commented. "Have fun" the doppelganger said closing the rift.
"So what now?" Dominic asked the angel having changed into her new outfit. "First things first, what must you be careful of?" Gabriel asked. "Watch out for hunters" "Yes but not what I was thinking" "Be careful of what powers I reveal." "Also true but still not where I was going" Dominic thought for a moment. "Don't tell anyone you are the archangel Gabriel." Gabriel smiled. "That's the one. So I can point you in the right direction but you'll be own you own for the most part. Are you sure you wanna do this?" he asked stepping closer. "Yes" Dominic stated. "OK. Oh one more thing. Don't tell anyone about that little red horseman sealed inside you." Dominic was in utter shock. She had never told him about that. She had never told anyone about that but before she could say anything Gabriel snapped his finger and the world shifted.
Dominic found herself in a forest somewhere but before she could look around two men came flying out of nowhere and collided with her sending the three of them tumbling down a hill. "That's one way to point me in the right direction" she thought as she got to her feet and dusting herself off. "Are you two OK?" she asked the two angels in front of her. "You can see us?" the angel in the trench coat asked. He had dark messy hair and she could see his white wings were slightly damaged. Dominic sighed. She really hated going through this song and dance. Her eyes flashed purple revealing her special vision. "Yes and I was sent by another angel to help." She informed them. "Sent by whom?" the angle in the suit asked. This angel has black and taller which meant he was huge. His wings were grey. "I don't know. I didn't ask and he did not tell me" Dominic lied. The larger angel narrowed his eyes at her as he could not read her mind. Gabriel ad taught her well. "We don't need your help" he growled and turned to walk away. "Wait." The angel in the trench coat said, "Maybe she can help us." He stepped closer to Dominic. "Your eyes can they find a specific person?" "I don't know maybe. I've never used them that way but it's possible if they are tied to the spirit world in some way." Dominic told him. "It's a start" the smaller angel said. "Castiel you are grasping at straws." The larger angel commented but Castiel ignored him. "What do you need?" Castiel asked her. "I need to know exactly what I'm looking for and some time."
Castiel described the girl they were looking for even showing her a memory of her. Dominic's eye's turned completely purple and glowed with power. Various colors rushed past as she searched for the specific energy signature Castiel had given her. It took some time but finally she located her. "I've got her." Dominic said. She told Castiel the location. They were about to leave. "Wait let me come with you. Please. If demons are after her I can help. It's what I'm designed to do." She begged. Castiel reluctantly agreed if she did what she was told. Dominic agreed and the three of them teleported. They were at a barn and Uriel almost blew the doors off making a dramatic entrance. There were two humans with the girl. Dominic realized what they were. "Hunters" she growled extending her claws. Her eyes turned purple and reptilian and her teeth sharpened. "The hell? Since when do angels enlist the help of monsters?" The shorter of the two demanded. "Dominic wait outside." Castiel commanded. Dominic nodded and walked out. Once she was out of view her wings appeared in a burst of white fire and she flew up to the roof to keep watch. It didn't take long before she sensed the oncoming demons moving towards them fast. She swooped down back into the barn. "We've got company"
She had no more than said it when four demons burst through the doors on the other side. Dominic could tell by their appearance all but one, were lesser demons. The lead one was closer in appearance to what she had faced in her own dimension and she could tell he was stronger. They threw the female demon off to the side "Don't you touch a hair on that poor girl's head" the lead demon commanded. Dominic growled loudly. Every instinct in her body demanding that she kill these demons. Uriel moved forward. The hunters and the girl stepped aside to let him pass. "How dare you come in this room you pussing sore." The lead demon stepped forward too. "Name calling? That hurt my feeling you sanctifying semonious prick" "Turn around and walk away" Castiel commanded. "Sure just give us the girl. We'll make sure she gets punished nice and proper." the demon countered. "You know who we are and what we will do" Castiel threatened stepping forward. "I won't say it again. Leave now or we lay you to waste" Dominic held her ground not out of fear but waiting for the fight to begin. "I think I'll take my chances" the demon challenged. Both sides struck simultaneously. Castiel took on the lead demon while Uriel tried to fight the other two but it was obvious he was in over his head. Dominic roared furiously as she tore one of the demons off of him and threw him into a far wall. She strode over to him and tore the demon out of the host with her now glowing claws like it was nothing. Electricity surged from her hands shocking the demon until it disappeared into nothing.
She turned to see Uriel dispense the other demon and one of the hunters slam the lead demon in the head with something forcing him off of Castiel. "Dean, Dean, Dean. I am so disappointed" the demon growled. "That idiot" Dominic cursed as she charged the much stronger demon. Hunters or not they were still human which meant she protected them from demons. "You had such potential" the demon yelled as he started attacking the hunters. Dominic slammed into him forcing him to stop his attack on the hunters and focus on her. "Back off" she growled. "Well what have we here?" the demon glared at her. Her claws began to glow again as she readied to rip this demon out of his host but she didn't get the chance. Anna the girl the they had come for had torn the necklace containing her grace away from Uriel and smashed it releasing the grace. She called for them to shield their eyes but Dominic could see that she had released the grace to close to them. She opened her wings and used them to shield the two hunters from the blast that came from Anna becoming an angel again. The demon she had been fighting disappeared. Dominic clenched her jaw trying not to cry out in pain as the blast hit her.
"You two OK?" she asked the hunters. They nodded and she backed away from them. Steam rose from her back and wings as if her skin had been boiling a moment ago. She had managed to deflect most of the energy but not all of it. Everyone got to their feet and Dominic stepped behind the angels. "What are you guys waiting for? You better go get Anna unless of course your scared" Dean said. "This isn't over." Uriel threatened but Castiel stopped him. "Oh it looks over to me chuckles" Dean countered. "This has got to be the craziest hunter I have ever seen." Dominic thought to herself. And with that Castiel teleported them away.
"Those Winchesters have gone too far this time! I'm going to throw them both back in Hell." Uriel yelled. "You know why we can't do that." Castiel said. "I'm gonna give you two some space" Dominic said taking a step back. "You! This is your fault" Uriel lashed into her. Dominic was taken aback by this. "How is it my fault that you couldn't handle a LOW class demon? That YOU couldn't keep a powerless girl from stealing that grace?" she challenged. "You watch your tone with me dragon or I will make you." Uriel threatened moving closer to her. "Somehow I doubt that" Dominic growled, her eyes glowing threateningly. "Enough." Castiel commanded. He motioned to her that she could go. Dominic took to the sky flying several miles away to a nearby river. She had feeling they could find her if they needed to.
Dominic changed back into her human form and sat on the sun warmed rocks. She watched the minnows swim up to the rocks trying to escape the much larger fish as the sun sank lower in the sky. She heard wing beats and turned to see Castiel standing behind her. "Look Castiel, I'm sorry I failed." She apologized. "You didn't fail. Uriel shouldn't have taken his anger out on you." Castiel said. Dominic was silent. "Look I saw what you did to that demon and what you were about to do to Allister." Castiel informed her. She smiled. "I told you, it's what I'm designed to do." Dominic said. "You have skills that could help us win this war. Are you still willing to help?" Castiel asked. "Of course I'm willing but I need to know everything." Dominic stated. Castiel agreed on the condition that she tell him who sent her. Dominic told him everything except the part where Gabriel had taken her in. Castiel in turn told her everything he knew which wasn't much although the part about his pet hunter worried her. She didn't trust hunters but Castiel assured her that they wouldn't threaten her. "So what now?" Dominic asked. "We'll be in touch." Castiel said before disappearing.
