A/N – My friend edited this for me, so thank you friend. Please note that I am having issues with electronics in my house (namely computers) so you might not hear from me in a while. I'll probably be updating every two weeks once I have that issue solved.
Disclaimer: Nothing Charmed/Supernatural is mine! I only own the characters I create.
P.S Cast photos are up on photobucket, the link is on my profile. I have a banner too!
*I HAVE RE-CASTED PRIMROSE WINCHESTER! NEW BANNER ALSO!*
Many thanks to: Readers/Reviewers/Alerters/Favouriters/Supporters! You are the reason I continue.
EvilAngelTeamGabe: I am as well. Of course she is, witches killed her mother and sister, wouldn't you? Sorry I had to say that but I obviously agree with that fact that Prim said because hello I am the author I have to look at everything from all sides which is why I will defend both characters opinions but…oh never mind, you'll see. Prim won't be given much of a choice in this chapter and I agree Sammy and Dean should stay with her not that they'd leave her willingly or anything…
Pickle Paige: Ah yes there is a Cole/Ruby demon bond thing present and I quite enjoy it too surprisingly. I'd say no they don't know. Most definitely not.
Evinco: It's good to hear from you and I'd like to thank you for the lovely commentary but unfortunately I did not go that route…at least not yet. Keep reading and reviewing!
Pheebz4eva: I love how as a reviewer you're so full of ideas and are willing to share them with me! I love that and actually you kind of took the words right out of my mouth on some of your thoughts (I'm not telling which). You're totally right about the fact that yes they're sisters but no they haven't reached love yet, they're far from it actually, they need to connect/bond and that's where the struggle lies…duh, duh, duh, just kidding. You'll see some progress on that part in this chapter. I'm glad to know you're excited and I really hope you'll keep telling me your opinions and ideas. P.S for some strange reason your review posted twice :s
I stood in the kitchen, hands tightly gripping the sides of the counter, head bowed and tears flowing down my face. I usually don't cry so easily but with everything that's been happening...it's just so much to take in. Now Kim's saying my biological mom and grandma are the witches that killed her own mom and older sister. Why? It doesn't make sense. The Charmed Ones were supposed to be a great power of good, Sam told me so in the car ride over here and the sisters...my sisters confirmed it.
"Primrose?"
I spun around so fast I nearly fell. Directly behind me was Leo, the guy from before. He had a look of concern etched onto his face which was sort of surprising yet comforting at the same time.
"What?" I demanded while wiping my face clear of any tears.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine." I replied, quickly.
He stuck his hand out. "I'm Piper's husband." I gave a sigh before reluctantly shaking his hand, "And the Charmed Ones whitelighter."
I pulled my hand back so fast he probably thought I was going to run away and scream. I almost did. I had never actually met an angel before. I guess my suspicions had been confirmed. I guess that means I had met an angel before…like hours ago before…oh you know what I mean.
"So you are their whitelighter." I sighed.
"I'm yourwhitelighter too." Leo corrected.
"What?" I gasped, shocked. "I don't have a whitelighter that would make me someone important."
"You are someone important Primrose," he assured, "you're a Charmed One, one of the most powerful witches in the world. The one told to save the world from its own destruction."
My eyes went wide. I'm supposed to save the world from its own destruction? I scoffed. "No pressure."
He smiled slowly. "I meant the three of you—your sisters and you."
"At least I'm not alone." I chuckled weakly.
"No you're not," he agreed, "and Primrose I know we just met and you don't know me, but I am your whitelighter by birthright. I wasn't appointed by the Elders so they can't actually do anything about it."
"Oh," I mumbled, "and that means?"
"Anything you say to me, I'm not required to tell the Elders unless you or your sisters request it."
"So what, this is like a doctor patient confidentiality thing?" I asked.
"Exactly like that." he assured. "I just thought you should know that I am one of the many few people you can talk to without worry of it getting back to them. So, if you want to talk...?" he trailed off leaving it like a question.
I avoided the question for the moment. "Don't you mean angel?"
"I'm not a fully fledged being like the Elders. I am a whitelighter, your guide. But if you want to follow the bible's beliefs you can consider me like a guardian angel."
"No," I replied.
"No?" he questioned.
"No I don't want to talk right now." I said.
"Are you sure?" Leo asked. I nodded. "Whenever you do, just let me know."
I smiled feeling warm and fuzzy inside for some odd reason, I don't quite understand. Moments before, I'd been feeling down in the dumps and now—I almost felt like I could be happy again; even if it was just for a second. I liked him I realized, Leo, which is weird for me because I don't usually like people that quickly.
"Okay." I said. "And Leo?"
"Yes?"
"Thanks." I smiled.
He smiled back. "That's what I'm here for."
SMASH! BANG!
Leo and I looked to the door that leads to the hallway. "What the hell was that?" I asked.
"Piper!" Leo called.
He dashed out of the kitchen just as a scream sounded. I ran after him, finding shattered glass and blood smeared all over the floor of the conservatory. There must have been about twenty demons!
Dean was shooting at the demons surrounding him with the colt while Sam slashed them with Ruby's knife. Leo was beside them defending himself from a hit. Piper was blowing them up—some just froze indicating her powers were still on the frits. Phoebe was suspended in mid-air, and kicking their butts. I stared for a moment in awe. That's such an awesome power! It was like she was flying!
I flew backwards abruptly smacking into the doorway. My arm stung and I looked down to find it was bleeding. What the hell? Looking back up I discovered three demons coming towards me, instead of blue stuff, they held fire in their hands. Uh oh.
I waved my hand furiously in an attempt to use my telekinesis. "Stay back!" I ordered but nothing happened.
The demons snickered at me before they raised their hands to throw the fire at me. I covered my face and dived to the floor feeling the sensation—I was coming to recognize this when my power of invisibility sizzled through me. I looked back up at the demons to see their confused faces.
"Where'd she go?" one asked.
I grinned. Invisibility could come in handy after all. I jumped to my feet and pulled my knife from my boot. Time to go hunting. Well, you know what I mean. I got the jump on them. I stabbed all three of them quickly before dropping back down. Not that it did much good, but I noticed they did bleed and growled angrily. I guess it still must have hurt still.
"Where is she!" growled the ugliest one.
"The Source wants her alive, now Calvin." the other replied.
"How we supposed to do that when we can't even see her Malcolm?" another growled angrily.
"I dunno Sherman." Calvin replied.
Malcolm smirked. "Let's—"
I gave a snicker, interrupting them. "Bastards! Over here."
They spun around in circles trying to find me. I had fun for a couple of minutes playing around with them. I tapped Calvin on the shoulder and he hit his hands out throwing fire in random places. I want to finish them off... but how? I doubted an exorcism would work because I didn't think they were possessor demons, they seemed too powerful.
A loud bang echoed throughout the room and caught my attention. I paused about to look for the source of the noise but the demons startled me by grabbing my arms and beating down on me. I guess I wasn't invisible anymore. I fought them off as best I could. Once again, my telekinesis was seemingly useless. The wind got knocked out of me for a moment as I felt my ribs being kicked. I stabbed the one that kicked me in the leg out of anger. He simply growled and threw my knife away. Great, I'm screwed. There was another loud bang but I couldn't move still fighting the demons.
"We move the clock to the conservatory and it still gets smashed!" I heard Piper complain.
"Oh my god!" Phoebe cried.
"Sammy!" Dean yelled, suddenly.
I was able to see Sam knocked out with half of a grandfather clock on top of him out of the corner of my eye and immediately felt the anger and panic bubble inside me as blood pooled around him.
"Sam!" I roared. Two demons advanced on him fire in hands. "No!"
The demons flew from me landing in a heap on the floor. I didn't hesitate as I stumbled to my feet, rushing to Sam. I flung my hands out angrily at the two demons but it didn't work. I made a sound of annoyance before narrowing my eyes. They both flew away and I smirked. So I had to narrow my eyes, awesome, I got to glare at the demons while I flung them away. I dropped beside Sam checking his pulse which was present but weak. The panic built up inside me and I started to breath heavily. Oh god, Sam. Not again.
I spun around and saw Piper, Phoebe and Leo still fighting the demons. I had no idea where Dean was, I was starting to get worried.
"You girls need to get to the book!" Leo yelled, randomly.
"Dean!" I called, rushing forward blindly. "Dean!"
Piper was suddenly in front of me. "Primrose we have to get to the book—c'mon!"
"What!" I shouted. "But my brothers—"
"Piper look out!" Phoebe screamed, making me stop.
Piper was thrown backwards into the French doors landing outside on the grass with a thump. Phoebe let out a scream of terror as she flew herself at the demon that had attacked Piper. The demons all ganged up on her and Phoebe was tossed backwards to the ground. Leo was outside leaning over Piper so I was left to fight the demons by myself.
"Hey bastards!" I screamed, pissed off beyond relief.
A couple of them turned to me as I shot them a cocky grin before giving them my best glare. One by one as I stared daggers into them they flew away from Phoebe who easily fought off the last couple herself. She started towards Piper and Leo but he put up his hand.
"Phoebe no!" Leo ordered. "Get a spell!"
Phoebe grabbed my hand and dragged me back into the kitchen. I stared backwards wanting to go help my brothers and Leo. Phoebe dug in a random drawer in the kitchen before pulling out a pen and pad of paper. I stared at her as if she were mad before attempting to go back out. She only grabbed the collar of my shirt, tugging me back.
"What are you doing?" I demanded.
"Writing a spell." she replied, simply.
"Oh, of course, silly me!" I snapped. "We don't have time—"
She abruptly dragged me back out of the room, this time holding a piece of paper in her hands. She positioned us near the door and held my hand.
"Say it with me," Phoebe ordered.
I nodded and we began to chant. "Demons of fire, demons of pain, we banish you to the astral plane!"
The demons screamed in agony before vanishing. I blinked for a couple of minutes, in shock at what I'd just done. Phoebe dashed away from me and over to Leo who was helping a now healed Piper to her feet.
"Not the French doors!" she snapped. "Damn demons are going to start paying the bills."
"Leo!" I called. "Sam's hurt!"
Leo hurried over. "Girls help me get the clock off of him."
"Primrose use your telekinesis." Phoebe instructed.
I tried to but it didn't work and I wanted to cry. "I can't."
"You did before." Phoebe protested.
I shook my head in disappointment. I couldn't because I was not really angry anymore. I was worried out of my freaking mind. Sam was bleeding out on the floor and Dean was seemingly missing.
"Girls c'mon." Leo said.
I watched as Piper and Phoebe helped Leo get the clock off of Sam who was looking worse by the second. I was torn whether to look for Dean or stay by Sam's side. I decided to wait until I saw Leo healing Sam and once I did, I was off.
"Dean!" I yelled, rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off.
I heard a loud groan. "In here."
His voice was music to my ears. I followed it into the living room and sighed in relief once I saw my big brother was okay well, sort of okay. Dean stood there holding the colt weakly in his hands. He looked like he'd been through the ringer and would drop any minute. I felt the tears well up in my eyes.
"What happened to your arm?" Dean demanded. "I'm gonna kill the bastard that did—"
I cut him off with a loud choked up sob before crushing him in a giant hug. He was still for a moment before he wrapped his arms around me. I sobbed onto him. I hated the way I cried. I sounded like a dying moose.
"Dean." I whimpered. "I thought…I thought…"
"Hey, hey, it's okay, I'm fine." Dean assured.
I nodded but didn't say anything else. I wasn't exactly sure why I'd busted into hysterical tears at the sight of him. That was totally unlike me. Sure I was emotional, I'm a hormonal teenage girl for heaven's sakes but never randomly emotional like that.
"Sam." Dean said suddenly, dragging me with him as he rushed forward. "Sam!"
"Leo's healing him." I assured if only to stop him from knocking me over as he rushed back into the conservatory.
Sam was just standing up and I grinned in delight. I looked up at Dean to find he had the same expression.
"Sammy you all right?" Dean demanded to know.
They all turned to us and Sam nodded. "Yeah, you guys?"
"Dean needs to be healed." I said, quickly.
Dean gave me a look of annoyance while Sam gave him a worried look. Leo walked over but Dean put his hand up before shoving me forward.
"Heal her arm first."
"Dean it's just a scratch." I protested. "You're the one that was beaten to a pulp."
I neglected to mention the fact of my ribs aching from those damn demons kicking me. I was more worried about Dean's well being then myself. I'd live but he'd...damn, so didn't want to bring myself there. I took a deep breath focusing on not bursting out into hysterical tears once again.
"Primrose." he warned.
I rolled my eyes but gave in, sticking my arm out. Leo was smiling as he placed his hands over my arm. Once it was done he healed Dean and I was able to rest my worries aside, for the most part anyway.
"What happened?" Sam asked, nodding at my arm.
"I was hit by that fire stuff." I complained.
"Fireballs." Phoebe offered.
The three of us exchanged a look. "Huh?"
"Fireballs," Phoebe repeated, "the demons had the ability to throw fireballs,"
I tried not to chuckle, "That's seriously what they're called?"
"How original," Dean grinned.
Sam rolled his eyes at us. "You'll have to excuse my siblings—we've never hunted a demon that had that ability."
"Well there was blue guy—"
"Shax," Phoebe corrected.
"Right, Shax, he had that blue stuff that was similar." I informed.
"Oh those are called energy balls."
"Did you hear that Dean?" I smirked.
All it took was for Dean to give me that look and I was laughing hysterically, Dean joined in a couple minutes later.
"Very mature guys." Sam said.
"They were upper level demons." Piper sighed, interrupting us, "Most likely working for the Source."
We no longer laughed. I recalled the conversation the three demons had. "The demons—Calvin, Sherman and Malcolm I think their names were, they said something like the Source wanted me alive. I think they decided after a little beat down, they'd take me."
"Good thing we sent them to the astral plane then hmm?" Phoebe grinned. I smirked.
"You did what?" Piper gasped.
"Some spell Phoebe made—hey can I do that too?" I wondered. "Make spells?"
Piper nodded. "Yes but—"
"Sweet." I nodded.
"You girls should check out the book just to make sure," Leo said suddenly, "we don't want to have two demonic parties to deal with."
"Yeah." Phoebe agreed.
"The book?" Dean replied, confused.
"The Book of Shadows." Piper and Phoebe said together.
"Oh right..." Dean nodded. "What's that again?"
"A book of shadows is where witches keep their spells Dean," Sam replied, obviously, "you should know that,"
"I did," Dean assured him, "I was just checking to make sure you did,"
Sam gave him a look of disbelief. We both knew he was just saying that to not look stupid but I certainly wasn't going to call him on it considering that I hadn't known either.
"Sam's right except ours is different," Phoebe grinned.
"Why's that?" I questioned.
"Melinda Warren our ancestor—" Piper started.
"Your ancestor too." Phoebe inputted.
Piper gave her a silencing look. "She was the first in the warren line of witches and she created the book in 1693. It's been passed down through the woman in our family for centuries."
"Basically it's our family history, just in the form of spells and potions." Phoebe added. "You'll have plenty to learn from it."
"Sounds exciting." I replied, sarcastically.
I so regretted asking now. I had always fallen asleep in history class, I got enough of that at home from Sammy and you know researching for the hunt.
"Oh it is." Phoebe assured.
Piper gave a sideways smile. "Pheebs, she was being sarcastic."
Phoebe scowled. "Oh,"
Dean patted Sam on the chest while grinning. "An old book—right up your alley."
Sam glared. "Bite me."
"Alright to the attic!" Phoebe called.
"Leo," Piper said, "why don't you go check on Kimberly."
Leo nodded. "I was just going to say that, I'll check in with the Elders after."
"Okay." she nodded.
I froze, as did my brothers. "The Elders?"
Phoebe caught my panicked look. "Oh, don't worry Leo won't tell them about you."
"Okay." I said slowly.
Dean narrowed his eyes. "He better not."
"Dean," Sam warned, "he's an angel."
"Actually I'm not an angel," Leo said, "I was a medic in WWII that just happened to be chosen to be a guide or guardian angel if you must, to special people. I have brothers and sisters that could be considered the rank of an angel but that term isn't normally used."
We all stared blankly at him for a moment. Dean broke the silence. "Alright, Doc, thanks for the info."
"Actually, it's Leo."
Dean shrugged. "Whatever."
I interrupted before Dean could do anything more stupid. "Where's the book?"
"This way." Piper said walking out of the room.
We followed them to a staircase. Sam and Dean were behind me bickering as usual. Phoebe was in front with Piper they too seemed to be bickering and as usual, I was in between, just like in life. I'm always stuck in the middle of everything.
"Do you have to talk to angels like that?" Sam demanded.
"Dude," Dean said, "didn't you hear him? He's not angel. Angels aren't real."
"The principle still remains the same." Sam insisted.
I rolled my eyes deciding to listen in on Piper and Phoebe's conversation.
"She channels her power through her eyes?" Piper questioned.
"Yeah, it was almost as powerful, Piper," Phoebe insisted, "and she had that same glint in her eye just like Prue..."
They both grew quiet before Piper cleared her throat. "No one's like Prue."
"That's not what I meant." Phoebe replied, sadly.
"I know."
Well their conversation was depressing. I decided to look at my surrounding instead though there wasn't much to look at after having passed everything. We were just making our way to the door at the end of the hallway after having used the second set of stairs. This house was gorgeous from what I'd seen so far. It would have been cool to grow up in. Damn, now I was depressing myself.
The door swung open to show a very cluttered and disorganized attic space and in the center of it all stood a podium, with a giant green book on it behind that were beautiful window panes. Like I said, it was a nice house. I nearly collided with Piper and Phoebe having not noticed they stopped in front of me. Phoebe outstretched her hand dramatically.
"After you."
I raised my eyebrow but complied. I walked over and around the podium staring at the giant book that supposedly held my family history. The cover was engraved with three ovals but it looked strange. A thin orange line surrounded them but it was oddly shaped as if the engraving used to be different but that's absurd, it's an engraving for god's sakes, it can't just change. I wondered what was with the three ovals.
Dean cleared his throat and I looked up to find all four of them staring at me expectantly. Slowly I placed my hands on either side of the book. A spark jumped through my veins. I could feel the power seeping into me. Wow. The book suddenly flew open and I jumped backwards in surprise. Piper was now beside me flipping through the book.
"Don't just stand there," she ordered
"Piper." Phoebe scolded joining us on the opposite side.
She stood to my right and I felt like I would get sandwiched any moment. Whenever I stood in between my brothers, they'd always do that. I looked over at my brothers to find Sam looking at the shelves covered with different bottles and books. Dean was looking at a pile of old records. I grinned at them before looking back down at the book. It seemed I was safe from being sandwiched.
"You can admire it later, we have things to do." Piper insisted.
"What was with the front cover?" I questioned.
"What about it?" Piper demanded.
"Well for starters what does it mean?"
"It's a triquetra it represents us as a whole—the power of three." Phoebe supplied.
I frowned. A triquetra? That wasn't a triquetra. What the hell was she talking about? Triquetra's have shapes that overlap with a circle surrounding them. Not three random ovals surrounded by an orange line.
"Uh, hate to say you're wrong when you think you're right but—"
"Here's your friends." Piper said, pointing to the book.
Sam walked over with Dean behind him, both peering over the book.
"Aren't those some fugly bastards." Dean grinned.
"Calvin, Malcolm and Sherman. Upper level demons that tend to align themselves with whoever's in power in this case The Source." I read. "They have the abilities of every upper level demon—"
"Shimmering and fireballs." Phoebe inserted.
I grinned before continuing. "And to manipulate fire in any way, shape or form." I looked up. "They sound oh so pleasant."
"Well good thing we iced them." Phoebe said. "Go us."
"Anybody home!" Ruby called, walking into the attic.
"Nice look bitch, is it new?" Dean grinned.
Ruby glared while I was conflicted whether to laugh or turn my nose up in disgust. Ruby was covered from head to toe in green goop.
"What happened to you?" Sam inquired.
"Hell." Ruby smirked; Sam rolled his eyes in annoyance, "what else is new?"
"Did you trail that guck up all the way up here?" Piper demanded.
"Does anyone have a breath mint?" Ruby countered. "Some guts got in my mouth while I was killing my way back here."
"Oh, ew." I scowled.
"Did you find out anything?" Dean demanded to know.
"You bet 'cha." Ruby said.
We waited but she didn't elaborate. "Well?"
"A hit has been placed on Primrose here,"
"Anything we don't already know?" Piper asked.
"The interesting part is he's asked for her alive," Ruby informed, "which doesn't make much sense considering days ago he wanted your head sliced on a platter and served to him for dinner."
"Thanks for the visual." I complained.
Ruby winked, "I live to please you Rosie Posy."
I frowned in distaste. I have told her a million times not to call me that, after all we weren't friends really…I mean she was a demon informant that was it—all business. Unfortunately I liked her against my better judgement. Ruby did after all claim to be able to help us save Dean. That alone made me trust her more then I probably should.
"You're right," Sam agreed, "That doesn't make much sense."
"And we already knew that." Piper said. "Anything else?"
"Just rumours, nothing big." Ruby assured.
Dean narrowed his eyes. "What aren't you telling us?"
"Nothing." Ruby replied slowly. Sam and I exchanged a look. Oh she was so—
"Where's Cole?" Phoebe asked, suddenly.
Ruby grew uncomfortable before looking at her wrist as if she were looking at a watch before waving her hand at us, "Later!"
She fled out of the room. Phoebe and Piper exchanged a look before following after her.
"This doesn't look good." Sam sighed.
"No it doesn't." I agreed.
"Wonder what the bitch did now." Dean complained.
I rolled my eyes. "We should go."
"Yup." Sam agreed.
We rushed out of the attic and back down the stairs. I could hear Phoebe yelling. Uh oh this wasn't good at all. We found them in the conservatory where Ruby was looking around.
"Awe," she pouted, "I missed all the fun."
"Stop avoiding the question and tell me where my boyfriend is!" Phoebe yelled.
Piper had her arms crossed and was giving Ruby a deathly glare while Phoebe looked like she might start choking Ruby any second.
"Ruby just tell us where he is." I sighed.
"Some bounty hunters got him." she informed, nonchalant. "Decided to come back here and see how everything was—I'm guessing from the change of scene not good."
"Uh oh." Sam mumbled after spying Phoebe's look.
Phoebe's eyes widened. "What!"
"And you just left him there?" Piper demanded.
"He was handling it." Ruby shrugged.
"You go back down there right now!" Phoebe shrieked looking mad as hell.
"You want me to go back down there?" she gasped. "Yeah right, they will only try to shish-kabob me again."
"You can't just leave Cole down there!" Phoebe protested.
"Uh, actually," Ruby grinned, "I believe I just did."
Phoebe made an annoyed sound while Piper took over the job of yelling at Ruby who was looking more bored by the second.
Dean grinned like an idiot before turning to Sam and saying. "Dude, chick fight."
I shook my head, patting my ankle for my knife out of habit but froze after finding it wasn't there. Oh man the demon threw it. I looked around the conservatory ignoring the fight. I spotted something silvery under the couch in the living room where I'd found Dean. I made my way over and put it back where it belonged wiping the blood on my jeans. No wonder I'd felt so bear. I was about to head back into the conservatory when a creaking sound caught my ear. I followed the noise into the main hallway looking around.
"Leo?" I called, softly.
My eyes skimmed the room looking for the noise but everything seemed to be in place. Shrugging I headed back towards the conservatory but stopped. Wait a minute…Leo was taking a long time; maybe I should go check on him and Kim. I turned my body towards the dining room neglecting to tell the others my plan. I was just beside the staircase when I was abruptly slammed against the wall and patted down, my knife tossed to the floor. I let out a scream, kicking my attackers but stopped once I felt the cold metal slap onto my wrists. Oh god.
"HEY!" Dean yelled.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Piper demanded, with the same outraged look.
The men didn't reply, they only turned me around and said what I'd been dreading. "Primrose Winchester you're under arrest."
"On what grounds?" Sam asked.
The two men laughed as if that was the most hilarious thing they had ever heard. "We're the Council—we don't need any grounds." My brothers, Phoebe and Piper exchanged wide-eyed looks. "In here!"
A bunch of men with federal weapons ran in yelling 'hands up'. Phoebe let out a yelp before immediately putting her hands up. Piper looked like she was about to blow them up in annoyance but Kim suddenly walked in dragging a handcuffed Leo with her.
"LEO!" Piper called about to flick her wrists.
Not that her flicking her wrists would do any good considering council members were supposedly safe from witches' powers.
"Piper no!" Leo called and she immediately froze.
"That's them," Kim informed, "the illegal hunters and the witches that were harbouring an illegal hybrid. Oh and don't forget they kidnapped me and held me captive."
"Traitor!" I screamed, angrily.
The man to my left gave me a smack. "Shut-up hybrid."
I felt the blood well up in my mouth and spat it on the ground. I turned and gave him a grin. "Is that the best you got bitch?"
This time I was punched in gut, which had me tumble forward, clutching my stomach in agony, the breath completely knocked out of me. I could hear them yelling their protests in the background. Phoebe was saying what they were doing was against my rights but their reply was I was a hybrid and there were no rights for hybrids.
The man grabbed a handful of my hair making me look him directly in the eye. "Who's the bitch now?"
I spat in his face with a chuckle. "Still you."
He brought his fist up and punched me in the face with enough force for me to fly out of his grip and smack my head off the nearby table. I rolled down onto the floor. My head ached, my face burned. Blood trickled down my skin, I was sure I had cut my forehead open by smacking it off the table, not to mention I would have a black eye.
Dean rushed forward. "Touch her again and I'll kill you!"
However, the two men were quicker; they tackled him to the floor. I watched as Sam was flung against the wall at the same time. Both of them were patted down with any weapons removed before handcuffs were slapped on their wrists.
"Sam Winchester you are under arrest for illegal hunting, kidnapping and holding a Council member hostage."
Sam was silent as they lifted him off the wall but by his facial expression, I could tell he was holding back his words with much effort.
"Dean Winchester you are under arrest for illegal hunting, kidnapping and holding a Council member hostage." They pulled him off the ground and he looked extremely pissed.
"Don't forget threatening the life of a Council member just seconds ago." Kim added.
"You bitch!" Dean spat, trying to rush at her. "When I get out of this I'm coming after you."
"Dean shut-up!" Sam ordered. "Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law!"
Now I knew why Sam was being quiet as well as Piper and Phoebe who were just standing in the corner with their hands up. Seconds later the both of them were in handcuffs and standing quietly beside Leo.
Three guys dragged in a cursing Ruby. She seemed to be fighting hard but I noticed the handcuffs she had on were burning her skin.
"Get your hands off me Council scum—I'll skin you alive and eat you for dinner!"
"Caught this demon bitch trying to take off." the one man said.
"Fuck you." Ruby growled. "You'll be my bitch in a moment if you don't get your grubby hands off me."
"We can just add consorting with demons to the list of things you did," the man growled in my ear.
"Send her back to hell." Kim ordered.
I tried to stay silent this time; I had already caused enough trouble by my idiocy to engage in social combat with the men. I'd probably get in shit for that. I really wanted to yell mean things at Kim at that particular moment but Ruby was doing that enough for all of us...I need not describe how Ruby insisted she would brutally kill Kim.
The next thing I knew Cole had shimmered into the middle of the room, he threw blue stuff—energy balls—at the three Council members holding Ruby. They screamed as they were thrown away from Ruby and knocked unconscious. Ruby dropped to the ground and slid her body through her arms so the handcuffs were in front of her body. She immediately started attacking the people that came at her.
"BELTHAZOR!" the men yelled.
Belthazor? Wait what? Were they talking about Cole? Ruby had called him that before. I looked over to see him turn towards them about to fire some more energy balls at them which I was grateful for because that'd mean I'd be free but then again it also caused more trouble.
"Cole, don't!" Phoebe ordered.
Cole paused briefly and was jumped from behind, the burning handcuffs put on his wrists. Ruby looked at him for a moment and I thought she was going to help but not very surprisingly she turned and hurdled herself out a window before dashing away.
"Go after her!" Kim snapped.
A bunch of the men jumped through the window rushing after was a bright light in the middle of the room and it shot outwards. I shut my eyes because of how bright it was. When I opened them a red-haired woman stood in the middle of the room. Everyone including Kim, Phoebe, Piper and Leo bowed slightly in her presence. Um okay who the hell is she? Dean and Sam exchanged confused looks before looking at me—I shrugged in reply. Cole was glaring at whoever she was.
"Elder Anna." Kim said. Oh shit. "I—"
Anna put her hand up. "Be quiet hunter." She turned to Cole. "Cold Turner, assistant D.A. It's good to see you." I noticed the heavy sarcastic tone she took. "I see you have been arrested...again. I'm not really surprised; you are half demon after all. It's in your nature."
He's what? Half demon? I didn't even know that was possible! Hey wait he's a lawyer? Maybe he could help us somehow...wow very dumb of me to think considering he has just been arrested too.
"You should know," Cole smiled, "one of your own is a double agent—you might want to arrest Kimberly Singer."
Kim glared at him as everyone turned to look at her. Why didn't I think of that? "He's lying."
"An accusation has been made against you, Kimberly Singer." she replied. "By law you must be taken into custody."
Dean gave Kim a smug look who looked shocked for a moment. I tried to hide my laughter. Karma can be such a bitch. She waved her hands and two men grabbed Kim's arms though they did it gently and didn't check for weapons or slam her around before slapping cuffs on her wrists. In fact she even got to wear her cuffs in front of her. Take about equality. Stupid Council members get special treatment. Just awesome.
Anna lifted her arms upwards a bright light shinning from her. I closed my eyes feeling them burn slightly and when I opened them again I was shocked. My mouth fell slightly ajar as I stared at my new surroundings.
Anna gave a sinister grin. "Welcome to the House of Councils."
