Mara POV

I woke up hot and utterly nauseous. I frowned, staring up at the turning rusted fan above me. "Bobby?" i said confused. Then i remembered. Fucking Bella! That bitch knocked me out!

I sat up quickly, way too fast, and that sent me up and scrambling for the sink of the panic room. I vomited, only stomach acid coming up, burning me from the inside out.

"Good your awake," Dean's familiar, guarded and hard voice said behind me. i wanted to flip him off, sadly, i couldn't pull my head from the sink. I waited, till my stomach was empty of all the harsher acids.

"Bite me," i said harshly. I took a deep breath, before standing to meet Dean's hard glare. "What the hell do you idiots think your doing?"

He eyed me for a moment, "So your a Darkling i hear."

I stilled, becoming passive and then just threw up my own guarded expression. "So what?"

He smirked, "you know i'v never met a soulless person before, how does it feel?"

I gave him a cheshire smile now, "you have no idea how empowering it is."

He frowned, unsure of how to respond and he stood up straight now. "Your soul is in The City of Impurities?"

I smirked a little, "where else would it be? It surely wouldn't be in heaven."

Inside i was kind of panicking a little. They knew, i wondered briefly how they'd figured me out. But to be fair, there was a decent amount of creatures that knew what we were. Most of them knew better then to open their mouths. But the ones that are untouchable to us wouldn't care about who they told. I'm sure we could hurt or kill just about everything, but that would mean hunting them down or something, and i had better things to do.

"Your going to help us get it back, you and your brother," he said in that matter-of-fact tone.

"Am i?" i retorted, quirking an eyebrow at him.

"Yep, see we know how to put you down for good. We dont even need to be in the same room as you. We already have everything we need, now it's just a matter of going and getting it," he wore a huge grin now, like he'd won some kind of game.

"Your bluffing," i said rolling my eyes, that seemed hard to believe. I would've guessed hex bags, because Kade didn't mention anything about a spell to kill us forever. He'd told me everything he knew, even showed me all of us his research. And holy shit, there had been a lot of research.

"Maybe i am, but are you really going to take that chance?" he gave me a shit eating grin and i narrowed my eyes slightly. It was a good con. But until i could get a hold of Kade, or at least you know, get some kind of protection going, i had to play along. Great. Just great.

"I hate you sometimes, you know that?" i said coldly and brushing past him. He chuckled humorlessly and he followed behind as i ascended the stairs.

We entered the living room and everyone stared at me in an edgy alert way. I turned to Bella now, seeing the raw fear in her eyes, "i'm going to kill everyone in this room Bella and there will be no one to blame but yourself."

I turned and went into the kitchen, getting a cup of coffee. I thought about jacking a bottle of liquor but figured i should probably eat before i dipped into Hunter's Helper. I went upstairs to my usual room, and took a shower. At least they weren't following me around like guard dogs.

This was ridiculous, is there really a war for them to kill me? What could they need for that? A picture, some blood, hair maybe, whatever in case i was too far and they needed a power boost. Probably some kind of latin incantation. Then something occurred to me.

Neither Kade nor i have realized this. Sam can kill demons with his mind. Were part demon, is that what he meant? Sam can tear up souls, i mean, literally destroy them entirely. No heaven, no hell, no nothing. You just become nothing. Is that what Dean meant? We know how to put you down for good. His words were like an endless mantra in my mind. I didn't like the sounds of becoming nothing. Neither would Kade, man way to get screwed over.

But then again, i could always just kill Sam. I wanted to kill everyone anyways. Maybe i should let Kade do that, he's better and much more efficient when killing people. Take him killing me for example, his uncaring and void of emotion stare is where i'd gone my calculated and coldy amused one from.

I shook my head annoyed and then plopped down on the bed to stare up at the ceiling. My cellphone rang and i rolled onto my stomach. Someone had tried to use it, by the looks of it. It had been in my bag when we had left Bella's house, and now that i was here, everything was still in the bag. Aside from my phone. I answered it.

"Finally," Kade hissed angrily.

"Blow me, we have a problem," i said sighing heavily. "They know how to kill us, forever kind of kill us."

"What?" he asked reeling in surprise. "How?"

"Good question, i'm sure there are a few ways, but they also know were Darklings so once they research that enough i'm sure there's a way to put us down like dogs," i said nonchalantly.

"Jesus Christ," he said in disgust.

"Hardly," i said chuckling amused. "Either way, their black mailing us."

"into doing what, being good little monsters?" he asked in disbelief. "i told you not to go there, but would you listen? No and now look at what happened."

"Shut up, they would've figured it out eventually, that what Hunter's are good at, being nosy douche bags. There worse then rural suburban house wives," he laughed.

"Think we would've turned out like that if we'd been normal?" he asked thoughtfully.

I paused, "well then the tables would be turned. We'd be sitting around bored out of our minds because our pathetic lives and asking about what life would be like if we were supernatural creatures."

"Sounds about right," he said and i could just see the grin on his face. "So what do they want from us then?"

"To go get our souls, there plan is slightly flawed, but i'm assuming they expect us to plan everything out perfectly or some crap."

He sighed heavily, "that sounds like a lot of work."

"You know, i think they have a word for that in Hell. It's this little sin called Sloth," i said rolling my eyes at his laziness.

"Would you look at that, a city in hell just for me," he said sarcastically.

"You think if we died again we'd be put on the racks again?"

Silence met me for a long quiet minute, "i'd imagine."

"Ever wonder if redemption is possible for us?" i asked next, personally? I did not think that. Far from it in fact.

"Does it matter, i'm pretty sure all the crap we've done kind of spells out hell for eternity. Something just can't be forgiven," he said easily, as if we were talking about the latest horror movie or something.

I glanced up at the peeling ceiling, the cracks in the walls, barely noticeable. "Forever is a long time Brother."

Bella POV

As Mara left the room, a paranoid tidal wave swept through the room. "Think she'll want to kill us all when this is over?" Sam asked me quietly.

I tilted my head thoughtfully, "yeah, she doesn't take betrayal very well."

"Or blackmail," Dean added just as bothered with her cold voice of absolution. I began to wonder whether or not she could really pull the trigger when it comes to Dean. Surely she wouldn't really do it, i mean, they were well on their way to being in love before i'd died.

Sam and i left the house, climbing up onto the roof and sitting down. He tugged me into his arms, encasing me in his warm form. I must've looked miniature next to him. He kissed my hair lightly, and then my cheek. I smiled, leaning back into his embrace.

"Are you scared of your sister?" he asked quietly, as we watched the sky light with fire under the sunset.

I sighed at the feeling of contentedness in his arms. All i could see was the sky. The darkness closing in, you could even see the stars. This had always been my favourite time of day. This beautiful sight, especially when it was warm out. Leaving the sky something so flawless and perfect that it almost seemed to be born of a dream.

"Aren't you?" i retorted quietly. It seemed like if i spoke too loud, this feeling, the sight before us, and everything else would evaporate. Sometimes i wondered if this was all just some crazy wild dream and i would wake up back in Forks or something. But to be honest, the only upside of this would be that Charlie wouldn't be dead.

"No, i've died before, many times too. Your kind of always just ready for it after the third or fourth time," he said placing a small kiss on my shoulder. It sent goose bumps through me. "If i'm going to be scared of anything, it's losing you."

"Really now?" i retorted slightly amused, but his words rang true.

"Of course, i can't imagine not having you close to me," he said a little hesitantly, but his tone was strong and sure. "I love you Bella. Truly, and i always will. So yes, the only thing i'm afraid of, is losing you."

The intensity of his admission sent a warm feeling flooding through my body, causing my heart to stutter and trip. And for once, instead of having the words just on the tip of my tongue, they fell from my lips as if i had said it to him a million times over. This couldn't have been a more perfect moment.

"I love you too Sam."
