-X-

I opened my eyes and felt excruciating pain. I breathed in heavily and looked around for Sam, "Sam… Sam!"

I looked at down at myself and saw that I was crucified; nailed to a splintering wooden cross. A crown of thorns lay on my head, blood dripped down my face.

"Welcome back to Hell." said Aeros.

I looked at him, "You have to bring me back. I can't be here."

"That's not the way it works, love. The deal was, you go back for one year and then come back. You couldn't have expected to stay up there forever. It's not natural, you're supposed to be dead."

"But someone killed me. It wasn't my time to go. Someone collected a bounty on me!"

He stopped and then looked at me, "What are you talking about?"

"They told me everything. They told me the truth. I'm not supposed to be here and you and I both know that."

"No. you died and you came to hell, just like everyone else."

"You know there was a bounty over me. I heard those hell hounds. I know one of your demons killed me! There's something you want from me!"

"I'll admit, you're not like the others. But you can't go back. You can't."

"You have to!"

Just then a glowing white fog filled the room and went circling around us. They slowly turned into forms and for a moment I thought I saw wings. Two landed by me and one in front of Aeros.

"What is this?" yelled Aeros.

Then they appeared next to me, they looked like angels. They had on white robes but they didn't have any wings.

The one standing next to me looked up at me, "It's alright we're here to save you. My name is Sauris and this is my brother Cleto. We are angels of the lord."

I looked at him, "You're an angel?"

There was an angel standing in front of Aeros.

"You broke the contract. Catherine Rouge's soul is no longer yours."

"What! No! I didn't do anything!"

Sauris saw me looking at the other angel, "That is our sister, Saraph. She is also an angel of the lord."

"Catherine's time was not up just yet. You took her early, not to mention you harmed the Winchester Brothers. Which was also a violation to the contract."

"There wasn't anything in the contract that said I couldn't do that! This is a trick!"

"This is no trick! You lie to me, demon."

He looked at her," How dare you! You will address me as Aeros! I was once your brother!"

"You stopped being my brother the day you turned your back on our father."

I closed my eyes from the excruciating pain. They took out the large nails out of my hands and feet. Then they removed the crown of thorns from my head. I opened my eyes and Cleto and Sauris took me down from the cross. The laid me down and healed my wounds.

Aeros shook his head, "No, wait. You can't do that."

"Oh yes, we can."

Saraph came over to me and knelt down, "It's time to go home now, child."

"No! Wait!" yelled Aeros.

Saraph looked at Aeros and held onto my arm, "Good bye, Demon."

The angels disappeared, me with them, and Aeros stopped and looked around," No. No!"

I breathed in and saw I was on a Bed. I stopped and sat up, looking around. I was in the guest room. I stopped and hurried off the bed, opening the door and stepping out. It was dark in the living room and I looked at the clock. It was four in the morning. I stepped out and looked around, seeing no sign of either sam or dean. I stopped, noticing I felt different. I felt my forehead and cheeks, feeling my warm body. I stopped and then put my hand on my chest, feeling a heartbeat. I stopped and then smiled.

"I'm alive. I'm not a vampire."

I heard a door open and then stopped in my tracks. I saw someone come down the steps and then saw sam with a gun. He stopped and saw me.

"Cat?"

I smiled and then wrapped my arms around him, embracing him and holding him tight. I stopped and he looked at me, brushing the hair back from my eyes, "You're alive. How-"

"Angels. They came and rescued me."

Sam raised his eyebrows, "Angels?"

I nodded, "I know it sounds crazy, but they told me. And they were beautiful, Sam. They were real and they saved me."

He let out a breath and shook his head," I don't understand, but I don't care."

He kissed me and I held onto him, shutting my eyes.

Dean came down the stairs and turned the lights on, seeing us both. Dean stood there in shock, "Cat?"

I smiled and nodded, "It's me. All me. I'm not a vampire anymore."

Sam stopped and looked back at me and I smiled, "I'm warm. I have a heartbeat, and I'm not hungry. I'm normal again."

Dean stopped and let out a small laugh, "You're back. For good?"

I smiled and then nodded.

I looked back at Sam, "Your plan worked. The whole deal is off."

He smiled and so did I, "The deal is off. It's over."
