Part Three.
"When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity." -John F. Kennedy
Addison sat crossed leg on her bed and looked around the room. It had been almost a month since she had been hiding out at the lake house.
The only one she had been talking to was Castiel because she was afraid that if she talked to her family it might put them in danger.
Her grandmother only lived about thirty minutes away from the lake house and it was hard to not drive over and see her.
The loneliness was really starting to get to her and even though she had Cas to talk to, he didn't understand her humor and she wanted someone else to talk to.
Sighing, she looked back down at the blank piece of paper in front of her. closing her eyes, she concentrated and pictured the paper floating in the air. Slowly opening her eyes, but not breaking her concentration, she smiled wide at seeing the paper levitate above the bed.
So far, she had been able to make objects move with her mind. She kept trying to concentrate on a place and port herself but it wasn't working, so she decided teleporting wasn't one of her abilities.
A little while later, he cell phone rang, looking up, she saw it on a table across the room.
Smiling to herself she concentrated hard and it started floating across the room over to her.
"Ugh!" She groaned as it fell with a thud to the wood floor just beside the bed.
Picking it up, she looked at the number, it was her grandmother.
She had been ignoring all calls, but something in her gut told her she needed to answer this one.
"Hello?" She said, happy at the thought of hearing her grandmothers voice.
"Addison." A man said from the other end of the line.
Her heart beat loud inside her chest.
"Who is this?" She asked, hoping her voice sounded stronger than she felt at the moment.
"I've already made a trip to your parents house…it's too late for them, but you can save your poor grandma." The man said with a sinister twist in his voice.
"What are you talking about?" She gasped.
"It's simple, turn yourself over to us and we'll let her go." He said.
She knew it was a demon on the other end of the phone.
"Let me talk to her…" Addison demanded.
"She's a little tied up at the moment." He responded.
"Look, unless I know for a fact she's alive… I'm not going anywhere." She said.
"Say something." She heard the man say to someone.
"Addison?" Her grandmother sounded terrified.
"Grandma! Oh my god, are you okay?" She asked, as tears poured down her face.
"Listen to me Addy, you've got to run… it's a trap!" She yelled as the phone was taken away.
"Proof enough?" The demon asked.
"You listen to me you son of bitch, if I get there and she's dead… or even hurt, I will kill you!" She yelled as she grabbed her keys and headed out of the house, hanging up the phone on her way.
She sped down country roads as her mind raced with terrible thoughts of what she might find when she got there.
She had tried to call both her mom and dad and neither one of them answered, she prayed that they were okay and that the demon had lied to scare her.
Pulling up to her grandmothers house she walked up the walkway, more scared than she had ever been as she opened the door and walked into the house.
Walking through the living room and into the kitchen she looked at her grandmother who was tied to a dining room chair, with duck tape over her mouth.
When her grandmother saw her, she shook her head back and forth trying to tell her to leave.
"I didn't actually think you'd show…" A man said as he rounded the corner and looked at her.
"You've got me, now let her go." Addison said.
"It doesn't work that way." He stated smiling sinisterly at her.
"What are you talking about?" Addison asked, right before another demon grabbed and pinned her arms behind her back.
"Let me go!" She shrieked as she struggled against his grip.
"You don't wanna miss the show, do you?" He breathed out into her ear, as the other demon started towards her Grandmother with a knife.
"Stop it!" Addison yelled at the top of her lungs, angered at their lies.
The lights in the house flickered as she yelled.
"What the hell was that?" The demon asked, looking to the one who was holding onto her.
"Just kill her so we can get out of here." He responded.
Concentrating on a large knife in a block on the counter, it raised rather quickly and flew at the demon who was about to kill her grandmother. The knife hit him right in the throat, he fell to the ground gurgling blood.
"Castiel!" She yelled, as she mentally slapped herself for not calling him earlier.
She managed to slip out of the demons hold and turned to face him, as he charged and knocked her to the ground.
Before she could react he had his hands around her neck, slowly choking the life out of her.
She tried to hit his face and push him off of her, but he was too strong. Focusing on all the anger and hurt she felt she starred at him with pure hate, his grip loosened on her neck before he finally let go of her completely.
Stumbling back he held onto his own throat as he gasped for air, and a bright light emitted from his eyes and mouth, just like what had happened to the demon that Castiel had killed.
With in seconds the mans lifeless body fell to the floor.

"It's okay." Addison's grandmother, Rose, said as she rubbed a hand over her granddaughters back.
"It's not okay." Addison said through her tears as, she hung her head over a trash can, her stomach was in knots.
They were sitting in the living room of Rose's house.
"You saved our lives… from those… well, whatever they were." She said, remembering the black eyes they had showed her.
"Demons… they were demons." Addison said, trying not to think of the now bloody mess in the kitchen.
"If you hadn't killed them… they were going to kill us." She said, softly, biting her tongue from all the questions she had.
After a little while, Rose asked, "What's going on, Addy?"
Sighing heavily, Addison explained everything Cas had told her.
Seeing her grandmothers un-shocked reaction, she pointed out, "You don't look surprised, Grandma."
"I'm not, I always knew there was something special about you." She said, with a sparkle in her eye.
"Special? This isn't special… this is some sort of curse! I just want things to go back to the way they were a couple months ago…" Addison said, clutching her stomach.
"Well, things aren't going to go back to the way they were. It may not be ideal, but this is the hand god has dealt you…and you said the angels are trying to stop the apocalypse from happening. You have to do what you can, no matter how hard it gets." Rose said to her granddaughter.
"I know." Addison said as she batted a few tears away from her face.

Addison hung up the phone from the police in her parents town. The news she had just gotten had stunned her to the core, they were dead.
She knew she should cry, but she almost felt too broken to cry. She was angry at the demons for doing everything, and mad at Castiel for not showing up when she called him, and mad at herself for not warning everyone she cared about. She had just thought if she didn't contact them the demons would have no reason to go after them, but they were demons and they didn't need a reason to cause harm and pain.
Finally, the sadness over took her and she curled up on the bed crying harder then she thought was possible.
"What happened?" Castiel asked as he sat down on the side of the bed and looked at her.
"Where were you?" She asked through her tears.
"Seeking revelation." He admitted,.
"What happened?" He asked her again.
Sitting up, she wiped some tears away.
"My parents are dead…" She said, looking at him with her bloodshot eyes.
He was quiet for a minute before saying, "I'm sorry." The words sounded awkward as he spoke, it was probably the first time he said or felt it.
She shook her head back and forth, she had learned a while ago that angels weren't what everyone thought they were, they were soldiers, warriors of god.
"The demons… they went after my Grandmother… I had to kill them." She breathed out raggedly.
"What do you mean you killed them?" He questioned.
"It was so strange, the room shook and lights flickered… one of them had me by the throat, I thought of how much I was mad at him, and then it was like he choked to death… he had the lights that burned his eyes and came from his mouth, just like when you killed that on in my apartment, only I didn't have to touch him." She said, now glad she had killed the beings, they had killed her parents.
Castiel looked shocked, the other angels had told him she might have that power, but more than likely she'd never get that strong.
"I called for you…" She said, looking at him.
"I'm sorry." He repeated, this time it seemed more heartfelt and like he really meant it.
She wanted to yell at him, tell him how much he sucked at protecting someone. But she knew it wasn't really him she was mad at, and even if he had came when she called it wouldn't have made a difference.
More tears poured down her face as she shook her head back and forth.
Castiel thought back to earlier that day, when she had called for him he had been with Uriel who had instructed him not to go. Uriel said he was getting too attached to his charges, and he knew for himself he was starting to have doubts about the orders he had gotten, but he felt he had no place to question God's will.
Scooting over closer to him, Addison leaned against him. She just needed someone to hold her, tell her it was all going to be okay, even though she knew it wasn't going to be.
He looked down at the girl cuddled up against him, he had no idea what to do.
When he didn't move away, she grabbed his arm and pulled it around her as the tears kept coming.
Slowly, and unsure of his movements he moved his other arm around her shaking body, as he held her tight against him. He wasn't entirely sure why she wanted him to do that, but it felt nice and almost natural to him.
In a way he knew it was wrong that he had started to care about her, he was an angel and she was for the most part, human.
