Chapter 7

John went to his room and handed the colt to the demon. The demon took John's soul and the colt. John collapsed on the floor dead. Sam found him. The doctor tried to revive him. Dean and Sam watched as their dad was declared dead.

Once Dean was released from the hospital, Sam and Dean prepared to salt and burn their dad to give him a proper funeral. Dean was very irritated with Aunt Beth. She seemed to be a know it all. She was constantly in his face about this or that. She seemed to love Sam because older women always seemed to want to mother Sam, but she did not seem to like him. She told him he should not burn his dad because his dad would need a body.

Dean glared at her. "Dead is dead. I know. He's not coming back."

Aunt Beth shook her head. She did not see the attraction little Nessie had for this human. He was arrogant and stubborn, but she would do what she could to make sure he did not make any mistakes until she got Nessie back. "I am a pre-cog. Do you know what that means?"

"Yeah, I'm not an idiot."

"Well, that remains to be seen. I know in the future, your dad will be back and he will need the body, so just bury him. Death is not forever."

In the end, Aunt Beth got what she wanted. John was buried intact in the back of Bobby's Salvage yard with a wooden cross as a marker.

Dean stood by the grave after everyone else went back into Bobby's house. "What does it mean, Death is not forever?"

Dean slowly walked back to Bobby's house. He had not heard Nessie in awhile and he knew she was quickly running out of time for the invocation. He would ask Beth for an elfin priest to perform the invocation. He held the crystal and promised he would not allow her to dissolve.

Everyone was sitting at the kitchen table eating sandwiches. Alex took her father's hand as he sat down. "Daddy, do you want something to eat or a beer?"

"Just a beer, darling."

"You should eat clan leader. You will need all your strength." Beth looked directly at him like Nessie used to do when she was trying to get him to understand something without saying anything.

"Alright, give me a sandwich." Alex gave her dad a beer and a sandwich. "Thanks sweetie. So, what am I going to need my strength for?"

"Why to get your Nessie back, of course."

Dean jumped to his feet almost knocking over the table. Everyone grabbed the drinks. "WHAT?"

"Calm yourself, clan leader. Sit back down. I will tell you a story and if I'm right it will get our Nessie back."

Dean slowly sat back down. His beer and sandwich were forgotten. He leaned forward so he would not miss a single word. "Tell me your story."

Beth smiled at him. She knew she had their undivided attention. "It's the story of the QUEESETERATE?"

"But Aunt Beth that's just a story, a legend. It-it's not real."

"I believe it's real and your mother is the QUEESETERATE?"

Dean had no idea what that was. "Just tell us your story."

"Alright. This story is more than just a legend. It's a prophecy. There are a large amount of us that believe the prophecy and there was a time when many elves thought Nessie was this very special person. Let me start at the beginning.

There's not an exact translation of what the QUEESETERATE is in English. The closet translation is 'Superior Being'. The being will be the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter. This is a special elfin female that will push the boundaries of gifts. She will be the only female to be allowed to have more than 9 gifts and not be an abomination. I know Nessie was declared an abomination, but I will get to that. This female will have almost unlimited gifts. The prophecy is long, so I'm just going to give you the high points and then talk about Nessie specifically.

The prophecy states the QUEESETERATE will be the strongest elfin female. She will be humble and care only to help Elfin and human kind. She will try to bring them together. Her life will be devoted to helping people. She will mate for love and only love. She will have many children that will all be extremely powerful. The being is supposed to leave the elfin nation for a time to wander the earth helping those in need. The being will not follow the rules of society. The being will destroy society and rebuild it into a better utopia. Most elders think that part is just metaphorical. The being will be murdered by a demon. She will be taken to the fae queen and brought back to life.

Beth looked at Dean. He had a thoughtful look. "So you think a fairy queen will somehow bring Nessie back? Why would a fairy help us? I I've killed a few in my day. Most likely she will want to kill me rather than help me."

"Yeah, she will want to kill you, but she owes me. I saved one of her children. I just have to convince her Nessie is who I think she is. Nessie will owe her a favor. Now let me tell you how I know Nessie is who I think she is. Alex, you probably don't even know all of what I am going to tell you."

Nessie's mother was my youngest sister. Nessie's father was a great elf. He was 889 years old when he died. If he had still been in power, then Nessie and Alex would have never been treated the way they were. Her mother was his fourth wife. He had only been mated to her mother for 24 years, so their mating was still considered new. Her mother is a strong empath, but she wasn't self-healing, so she did not have the ability to fix elves the way Nessie could. That ability is rare, but even elves that can do it, none could do it to the level Nessie could.

Numbers are very important in elfin prophecies. Since children belong to the mother, then the birth order of the mother and the child are extremely important. On special circumstances, females are allowed or forced to mate with males other than their life mates. The sire is not considered important not like the mother. The sire has no legal claim to the child unlike with humans. You, humans put much stock in the sire. Nessie's mother was the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter back to 6 generations. Nessie was her seventh daughter.

Since Nessie was going to complete the 7th generation, her conception had to be made with the 'proper sire'. It could not be Nessie's father because of his advanced age. Yes, Dean, the father of the child is the life-mate of the mother regardless of the sire. Luckily for Alex, you are both. It makes you very special to your daughter.

Alex reached over and took her dad's hand. Dean smiled at her.

Awe, yes, I see she does love you very much. The elfin counsel interviewed many elfin men to determine who the proper sire would need to be. Nessie's mother did not want anyone but her life-mate, but she was very obedient and compliant. She would not go against the wishes of the counsel. Her life-mate was not happy about the decision but he understood the importance of the proper lineage.

The decision was made and my sister was placed in seclusion only females could visit her while she awaited her next heat cycle. I visited her every day. She was afraid because she was not told who the sire would be. I tried to find out who it would be but the council blocked any attempts to find out his identity. I knew that could not be good and I was right. She did not think it possible she could be the mother of the superior being. She did not think she was worthy. She was saddened she would not be with her life-mate for her heat. He was always gentle and kind to her. She did not receive any preparation for this heat and she knew she would be raped repeatedly by the sire to ensure pregnancy.

When the heat began, she was led to the bed chamber. When the sire walked in, Nessie's mother screamed and tried to run. She knew who he was and how he liked to hurt women. He normally only mated with virgins, but the thought of making the QUEESETERATE was enough of a reason to break his own rule of virgins only.

Dean could not help himself. "Oh my God. It was Malcolm, wasn't it?"

"Yes, it was Malcolm."

"How could your council want Nessie to mate with her own sire? That's gross."

"Yes, it is disgusting, but the council does what they please."

"Why was Malcolm allowed to hurt so many women?"

"Because he was such a powerful telepath, he was allowed to do as he pleased. He knew secrets from each council member. If he revealed what he knew, then they would be disgraced. He was a horrible person. When I heard Nessie had killed him, I rejoiced. In a very obscure prophecy, it is written the QUEESETERATE would kill her sire. I've studied the prophecies and when I heard how she killed Malcolm, then I lost all doubt she was indeed the superior meeting."

Back to my story. They had to tie her mother down because she tried to run. She knew he had hurt women and she knew he would hurt her over and over. I, myself, begged the council to stop it. When her life-mate found out, he tried everything he could to stop the mating. The council put me and others on house arrest until the heat was over.

Malcolm hurt her badly. He hoped he had broken her permanently because if she produced the superior being, then he did not want her to be able to have any other children. My sister was a broken vessel. After there was proof she was indeed pregnant, she was returned to her life-mate. She tried to mate with him but she was in too much pain and unable to do it. They feared part of their relationship was over. Her life-mate was truly a wonderful man because he could have put her away and got another female, but he didn't because he loved her too much.

Nessie was born in the middle of a lightning storm as foretold in the legend of the QUEESETERATE. Nessie's mother was struck by lightning and knocked unconscious. Nessie had to be cut from her body. C-sections do not work well with elves like they do with humans. Most C-sections cause the mother to bleed to death. The doctors could not stop her bleeding and she knew she was dying. She begged everyone to let her hold Nessie before she died. I brought Nessie to her and placed Nessie on her chest. She was instantly made whole like she had never had a child or one cut from her body. In fact, what Malcolm had done to her was also healed. Another part of the prophecy was the superior being would heal her mother at her birth. Because of the healing, many elves believed Nessie was the QUEESETERATE.

Nessie was given privileges no other elfin child was given before. No one could raise their voice to Nessie without being punished. She was allowed to do as she pleased. She was completely spoiled, but Nessie was not a brat. She was a sweet and loving child. I doted on her and loved her so much. She was a good child and she obeyed her father without question. Since her gifts developed much earlier than a normal elfin female, more elves were beginning to believe the story that she was the superior being.

Of course, the council patted themselves on the back at what they thought they had accomplished. I knew they only wanted to use Nessie for their own purposes. They had no real concern about the prophecies. They ignored the parts of the prophecies they didn't like. The being was supposed to leave the elfin nation for a time to wander the earth helping those in need. For that reason, she was allowed to leave the enclave to help the elfin hunters. She went to a human high school, which is where she met you, Dean. Of course, interacting with humans just made her more willful. She began to question everything. She could not understand why males ruled everything and everyone. Part of the prophecy states the being will destroy society and rebuild it into a better utopia. The council just thought the meaning was metaphorical. I believe Nessie being the superior being will cause an elfin civil war. Females will start to demand more freedom to make decisions. The females and some of the males will want to push the concept of marrying for love and not because it was arranged.

The being will refuse to mate with just any male. She must be allowed to choose her own life-mate. They assumed she would choose an elf. Because Nessie wanted a human, the council decided a mistake had been made and she could not be superior but was in fact inferior.

You know the rest of the story. She rebelled and refused to have Malcolm as her first. Somehow, she found out he was her sire. Malcolm had been careful to not sire any other children. She did not want him touching her because he hurt everyone he touched and he was her sire. I guess she did not tell you that. She came to me for a way out. With the help of Jasmine and me, we got her to you, Dean. Nessie had the upmost faith in you that you would never hurt her. I had studied the prophecies and I thought Nessie would be okay. I never dreamed she would have been treated the way she was. I never dreamed she would have been put in that dark, dank cell. When we found out she was pregnant, her mother and I thought she would be released. No elfin female had ever been treated like she was. I uh I failed her, so many of us failed Nessie. I stayed until Alex was born. I helped with the birth, but then I left. I just left. I couldn't watch what was happening to her anymore and I left. I won't fail her this time. I can save her, Dean. I can get her back."

Beth looked at Dean with tears in her eyes. Dean could see the love for Nessie shining in her face. He put his hand over hers on the table and gave a gentle squeeze. "I believe you. What do we need to do?"

In that moment, Beth knew Nessie had chosen wisely. This man before her loved Nessie with all his heart and would never hurt her or any of her children. "We have to make a trip to a special place about 5 hours from here. We'll need to make a fairy ring. We have to take a gift for the queen."

"Prepare whatever you need. We'll leave first thing in the morning."

Dean stood up and went to the room he shared with Nessie. He got ready for bed and lay down. He hoped Beth would be able to do what she seemed to think she could do. He wondered if Nessie really was a superior being. If she wasn't, then Beth said she would do the invocation to let her spirit go. Dean went to sleep holding Nessie's crystal.
