Chapter 2: Grace
I stood outside the motel room, I stared up at the stars above. As much as I want to, I wouldn't allow my self to cry. I yearned for this to be all a big hoax. I yearned to embrace them, and tell them how much I loved them. Tears would just be an admission that they were gone.
I thought about the boys that sat inside in the motel room. Bobby had left an hour ago, saying he had business to take care so it was just Sam and Dean. They have been waiting patiently inside for me until I was ready to come back and talk to them. I should just run, there was no one stopping me. They couldn't see me now, I could just run now and never look back…
But I won't. I couldn't. Where would I go? I had no family. No aunts and uncles, the only one who was alive was my grandmother, but I have no idea if she was even alive. It's been 7 years… Yesterday, I was a normal 17 year old girl. Now I'm a 24 year old orphan. I looked up to the sky. The dark sky was spotted with soft, comforting lights. There's no use sitting here feeling sorry for my self.
I looked back to the motel room door, The best thing to do now was to face them and try to get better understand to what was happening.
I took a deep breathe and started toward the door. I turn the knob and cautiously entered the room.
Inside sat Sam and Dean. They sat at the table, surrounded with papers. Sam typed away on his computer and Dean scratched his head as he scanned the paper for information. They noticed my presence and stopped what they were doing. Sam stood up and walked over to me, "Hey, how are you?"
He was much taller than I originally thought, but with him standing right in front of me I could see how dramatically tall he really was. "Fine." I answered, without any emotion. I didn't know how I was feeling right now. With all things considered, a little overwhelmed would have been a better word.
He looked at me with sincere eyes, yet skeptically of my answer. "Okay," He said finally.
Dean walked over, I watch him. His soft eyes and full lips, they all seem so familiar yet I couldn't place my finger on it. He noticed me studying him. His eyes caught mine and they flashed with a hint of embarrassment. He coughed and looked away to Sam, "Alright Sammy, you're the one who kidnapped the girl. So you get to deliver the final punch line." He smacked him on the back and sat down on the couch. I stared at them, confused. What more was there to tell me? Sam glared his brother then turned back to me.
"There's…." He paused, "There's is more we haven't told you yet." He hesitated. and stared at me with his puppy dog eyes.
I glared at him, my patience wearing thin. "Okay, seriously just tell me everything already. I'm not in the mood for suspense. It's like ripping off a bandaid, do it quickly."
Sam's winced at my sudden snap at him. He composed him self quickly though, understanding why I did it. "The Grace that you absorbed, like we said, was one of an angels. An Angel's Grace is an angels everything, all its power and you absorbed it. However, knowing that grace is pure creation, it is indeed a very very powerful force. It gave you life but it also could have killed you. That sort of power is too much for human's to hold. Yet you abosorbed it."
I stopped him, "So what you think I'm not human?"
He shook his head, "No, we know that there are some select few..and when I mean few, I mean very few, who can handle such power. …You are one of those few. When you absorbed the grace," He paused and looked back at Dean as if reassuring of what he was about to tell me was ok. He looked back at me and continued "You aborted all of the angels power."
" 'And with great power comes great responsibility?' Where is this going? I don't understand, powers? I don't have any powers. I don't feel any different." I looked down at my body, they only thing that was different was my age.
Dean chuckled and Sam glared at him again. "Well power, We don't know exactly what powers, but you have them. Angels are bond to heaven, they must follow Gods commands, and if not, they're power can be taken away. But you are human..with an angels power. You have all the power without the commands." He paused for a moment than continued, "You are a human angel"
