Chapter 4

(1 month later)

I am a complete idiot. I am so dead. Looking around her, so used to being watched closely, Analise headed for Crowley's dungeon. Turning on the light she saw him watching her.

"Crowley, I've come to make a deal with you. I wish to bring back Hope, Dawn, Jack, Sam, and Dean. In exchange, you get blood, freedom, and…. my soul."

"I suppose you truly are a Winchester after all. You all are willing to die for those you love."

"Please? They can live without me, but I can't live without them."

"I suppose I can take up this deal. But once you're in, you won't get out. How long do you want until you pay your debt?"

"Give me six months with them, and then I'll go willingly. Six months to the exact day, and time. Which will be my birthday. I will be able to get them to let me go out for my birthday, tell them I'm staying with Charlie, seeing as somehow she's managed to survive this long. Oh, and Crowley."

"Yes blue jay?"

"Will you make sure it's a quick death at least? It will make it easier on them knowing that I died quickly. Order your hellhound to go for the jugular. Please?"

"Very well. So your conditions are that Hope, Dawn, Jack, moose, and squirrel are brought back. In return I give you exactly six months to say goodbye, and you grant me freedom and give me blood?"

"Correct. But don't forget to make me die quickly. I will face death and I won't be afraid. I know it's coming, I know how it will end; I am willing to let this happen. I also know I cannot try and back out of my end of the deal or it will be voided and they will die. Am I correct?"

"Yes. Now the only way to complete the deal is with a kiss." Rolling her eyes she walked over to Crowley, and they kissed. It was over in a second, but her fate was sealed. She headed towards the door.

"Wait. What about our deal?"

"I'll let you free after I go get the supply of blood and a syringe for you."

"Okay blue jay." A few hours later she came back with the items she'd promised him. Walking to him, she unchained him and let him free.

"Thank you. I'll see you in six months."

And with that he disappeared. Analise then headed for the woods, where she had buried her ragtag family. Seeing the graves were moving she headed for the closest grave. A hand popped up and she reached down and pulled the person out. She went through all the graves and did the exact same thing to everyone else. "What the hell happened? One minute I'm in Hell, and the next, I'm here crawling out of a grave, in the middle of the woods. Anyone care to explain?"

"Well I was holding a conversation with Crowley, and he mentioned someone had sold their soul to save you guys. I can only try and guess who did. Not many people know you guys died."

"Who does?"

"Me, Charlie, Natasha, Cas, who's also dead now, and this guy named Gabriel as far as I know."

"Did you say a guy named Gabriel knew we were dead?"

"Yes. Pretty cool guy. Really obsessed with candy though."

"We know Gabriel. Last time we met it didn't end well for him. He was stabbed with an angel blade by Lucifer himself."

"Gabriel's an angel?"

"Archangel really. Honestly I'm disappointed you didn't notice."

"Gabriel? How are you alive? Last we saw of you, you had been killed by your brother."

"Don't know how I'm alive. I did die, but something happened. One day I was dead, the next I'm lying on the ground in a hotel room with a naked couple staring at me. After that I went to find you guys but was informed by Ana here, wonderful name by the way, that you were dead. I contemplated trying to get you guys, but then I found out my little brother was dead too, so now I'm hunting down whatever killed him." "It's my fault he's dead. My fault everyone died. I was stupid and decided to go on a hunt alone. Turned out to be a pack of werewolves. These guys all came in trying to save me and instead got murdered. Cas managed to get me out, but one of them had an angel blade and threw it. It hit him right as he was leaving with me. He managed to get me to Lawrence before he died. A few days later I met you and then we went and got their bodies and came back here. I probably didn't realize you were an angel of any kind because I was so busy trying to figure out how they all managed to die. Too busy blaming myself."

"You said it was a pack of werewolves that killed my little brother?"

"Yes."

"Well tonight's a full moon. I'll just have to go kill me a pack of wolves tonight."

"Just watch out for their pack alpha, he's the one with the angel blades."

"He'll be the first to go." At this Analise spun around and grabbed Gabriel's arm.

"Be careful. I've lost enough friends. Which reminds me, I set Crowley free."

"What? Why would you do that?"

"I made him a deal. He keeps me informed when I ask, and he goes free. I trust him, and always will. After all, you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly it's the honest one's you need to look out for. You never know when they'll do something stupid." Smiling at her reference to Pirates of the Caribbean she turned back to Gabriel.

"Promise you'll be careful. And if you end up needing help, come back for us. We'll help. He was part of our family, and we will do anything for his family. At least I will."

"Ana, you do realize Gabriel killed me over a hundred times right?"

"Yes, I know. I also heard him tell me why he did it, and honestly I can say he was doing what he thought was right. He thought wrong, but he had good intentions. And in the end, he made up for it. He sacrificed himself for you. He stood up to his brother. And he died for it. Just because you might think one good deed doesn't make up for a lifetime of mistakes doesn't mean it's true." And with that she left them all standing there in shock as she walked off towards the bunker.

Here you guys go. I am uploading as much as I can. ~~CM
