Gracie bit Castiel's hand then unexpectedly turned swiftly towards Dean and tore in to his arm then once he let go she turned to Sam and bit his hand down to the bone then got up and ran down the halls as soon as he released her but froze once she saw Crowley.
She forced herself not to move cause she would end up attacking him if she continued but she began to weaken from the power that was in the small vile around her neck.
She'd begun slowly walking towards Crowley who didn't move a muscle and kept his stern and serious face.
Once he spoke she suddenly halted "You won't hurt me Gracie. I know you won't cause that would make you a traitor now wouldn't it?"
She looked away as she struggled to keep control "I-I'm no traitor but I c-can't fight it for much l-longer" She looked at him and saw no change in his stance or face.
"Yes you can. You've been trained to fight by my side not cower down because of a simple spell in a bottle!" He looked at her for a moment then took a step towards her.
She gave him a warning glance but he ignored it then he continued to slowly walk towards her.
She'd did her best to gain as much control as possible and to sit as still as she could trying not to chance losing the battle against the spell.
She wasn't going to back down from a simple witches trick! She couldn't afford to attack Crowley! She'd have no side to be on in this never ending war and she would be known as a traitor to all.
Once he'd come right up next to her he grabbed the vile that was around her neck and quickly ripped it off and she felt all the power and energy drain out of her and she quickly collapsed to the floor with a silent sigh of relief and looked around to see Sam, Dean and Cas all healed and standing just a few yards behind her.
Crowley smirked at them and sarcastically said "Well that was hard wasn't it?"
Sam and Dean glared at him while Cas looked just about as lost as usual.
Then Dean quickly asked "Why'd she let you take it off her but went crazy over us trying to?"
Gracie answered before Crowley had the chance to "Cause I can trust him more than you which is probably because he didn't instantly shoot me and lock me up when we'd first met" She glared at them then laid her head down feeling extremely tired.
Crowley grinned at her response to Dean's question then before she dozed off Gracie quickly said to the three men who all looked from Gracie then to Crowley in confusion "I'm loyal only to one not to many and for a reason. If you don't know what that reason is then you've not met enough people you thought you could trust"
Then she added "I've met too many traitors and I'll not become one"
It all went black after a few short moments and she heard no more noises until she awoke again in her room back in the abandoned asylum and heard somebody was approaching her room.
Crowley walked in and grinned seeing that she was finally awake "Well good morning. You've been sleeping for the entire day just so you know"
She just grumbled and blinked away her sleep then asked "How'd you know about the vile and where I was? And how'd you take the vile off when nobody else could?"
He hesitated for a moment then answered "Well hello to you too. I've learned witchcraft many years ago so I knew of the vile. I knew where you'd been at cause the collar pin points your location unless of course you're not wearing it. And I was able to take it off cause only witches could take it off. I've technically got witch blood in me so it still worked"
He grinned at the lost expression Gracie gave him but she still nodded in understanding then they both walked back to the throne room.
"So what was with the whole 'Being loyal to one and not many' thing?" He asked her once they got to the doorway to the throne room.
"Well its better being loyal to one than being loyal to many which equals chaos and traitors" She replied.
He just nodded in agreement then asked as they both sat down "You really don't like traitors do you?"
"No I don't and honestly who does?" Crowley just shrugged and Gracie looked at him with confusion at his questions but looked away instantly as a demon came in holding some clipboards and then handed one to Crowley and two more demons came in holding a prisoner.
She just laid down as Crowley dealt with demons, contracts and souls as usual.
When there wasn't anymore contracts for him to read there was an awkward silence between them in the room so Gracie looked at Crowley and asked "Did that witch get killed?"
Crowley just looked at her and smirked then spoke "Well I would have killed her but the Winchester's decided it would be a great idea if they bring her to there little tree house instead"
Gracie just stayed silent for a moment then looked back towards the door to the room and said "Huh well that was a mistake"
He looked at her confused "Mistake?"
"Yes a mistake cause that witch wanted something from that bunker but I don't know what" She looked back at him quick enough to see what looked like concern.
'Is he concerned for the Winchester's?' She asked herself.
He sighed then said "Alright then lets go save them"
Instantly Gracie's ears perked up in surprise then Crowley snapped his fingers and they both appeared in the bunker with Sam and Dean looking at them with annoyed faces.
"The Hell are you guys doing here this time?" Dean angrily questioned.
Gracie answered and grinned "Temper eh? Where's that witch before you go and mess up?"
Dean looked at her in confusion then asked "Mess up? What do you mean mess up?"
Just then Gracie was thrown across the room and in to a book shelf knocking it over and scattering books across the floor.
The witch walked down the hall and whispered something and then Sam and Dean started to choke unable to breathe.
Crowley waved his hand and sent the witch flying then he picked up a gun that was on a table next to him then quickly grabbed a bullet that was on the table.
Before he could load the gun it went flying out of his hand and in to the witches hand.
Gracie quickly charged at the witch and caught her off guard and they both ended up falling which stopped the spell and allowed Sam and Dean to breathe then Gracie pawed the gun back to Crowley who instantly picked it up and loaded it.
Then Gracie turned back to the witch who whispered something else almost making no sound then Gracie began coughing up blood and was unable to breathe.
Once Crowley aimed at the witch who was standing up again and shot her in the chest finally killing her and Gracie stopped coughing and left a puddle of blood beneath her from.
"Your welcome" Crowley smirked at the two men who'd still been on the floor.
Gracie looked at the book shelf she was thrown in to and grinned then said "You two should probably pick your books up it's a mess in here"
They just glared at her then Sam asked "How'd you know that she'd get free?"
Crowley answered this time "Well Gracie said that the witch wanted something from in here and with you two holding her it was pretty clear she'd break free"
Sam ignored the rude comment and continued "Okay so then what'd she want?"
Crowley looked at Gracie then back at the two brothers and shrugged.
"Well we're done here" Crowley said then he snapped his fingers and Gracie appeared on the side of the road near the diner she'd always gone to.
She walked around the side to the back and scratched at the back door then the cook to the diner came out a moment later and placed a tray on the ground with scraps and a fresh chicken leg on it then patted her head then went back inside.
'The cute puppy trick works every time' She thought to herself.
She ate the scraps and barked twice signalling the cook she was done then she picked up the chicken leg and walked off as the cook picked the tray up and went back to work.
Just as she got out of the alley she was teleported next to Crowley who just grinned at her "Out for a snack eh?"
"Hey it's free food I don't care" She said through a chicken leg still in her mouth and she laid down beside his throne and started to rip apart the chicken as she held one end of the leg between her front paws.
Just then a demon came running in the room out of breath and stopped a few yards from Crowley and he just stared at Gracie with hate in his eyes 'What did I do to him?'
Then he asked "Sir, may I speak with you in private?"
Crowley looked confused but dismissed his two demon guards who'd been beside him and Gracie but he was kinda reluctant to dismiss Gracie.
But the demon didn't speak until she was gone so Gracie picked her chicken up and walked off but she stayed by the door to listen in on the conversation.
"Okay sir, I came to tell you that your um 'Pet' Gracie has been killing demons for no reason. I've got proof too, here" Gracie couldn't see what the demon had but she was confused for a different reason 'Since when have I killed demons for no reason?' She thought.
The demon continued "So as you can see sir, she's not following the rules here and I just figured that maybe you could do something about it"
It was quiet for a moment then Crowley spoke "And exactly where did you get these photos?"
The demon quickly answered "The demon named Jamie that I used to work with took them two days ago before he was killed by Gracie and I later found them on what was left of Jamie's body"
"Yeah well the thing is I don't believe that you're telling the whole truth so when I see her kill for no reason I'll deal with it but until then why don't you mind your own business not hers and not mine got it?"
"Y-Yes sir but I-"
"No more. Leave now and don't try and accuse her of something when I know exactly where she is at all times!"
Gracie snuck to her room as fast as she could when she heard footsteps begin to retreat out of the throne room and she quickly sat by the door and acted like she'd been there the whole time and as the demon who'd framed her walked by he glared at her.
Once he was away from her door she couldn't help but smirk 'He'd been told off by Crowley' then she thought 'What did I ever do to him?'
