Chapter 10

A.N-here it is-The Final Chapter-it is long but oh well :) Hope you enjoy the end to Soul screw up!

Discalimer-No I don't own supernatural

As we walked down the narrow hallway following Rick or ranger Rick as Balthazar had tagged him, it was clear that this man was a well experienced hunter like me and Dean. With guns on the walls displayed in frames, no longer used. "So, Bobby was telling me on the phone that you four had been up to no good." Said Rick turning a corner leading to yet another long hallway, this time filled with mirrors. "You could say that."

"So who's the humans and the not humans?" Rick turned round to face us all as he came to a door, hopefully leading to this mysterious Annabella. "Well I'm human-obviously-Dean is the one in the trench coat, Balthazar and Castiel are..." Not wanting to reveal the angels identity I paused trying to think of a monster that wouldn't make the old man pull a gun off the wall and start shooting at them. Balthazar broke the silence "let's just leave it as not human." The man looked at Balthazar in close detail. "You're not Demons are yah?" Balthazar instantly took offense to the accusation "how dare you! Me and my brother here are not in any way related to that filthy scum!"

"Hot head." Even although Dean passed the comment under his breath Balthazar and Cas still heard him and turned around glaring. Sensing that the mood was tensing up Ricky opened the door to the witches layer."Erm...she's in this room." Leaving us to it, Rick headed back down the hallway.

With the two angles and Dean still on stare down mode, I made my own way into the room. In the middle was a round table with miss-matched chairs around it, five in all with one occupied by a young girl. She couldn't have been any older than 18, lifting her head from the table she smiled and said "please do sit, and tell your friends to come in." Doing as asked I told Dean, Balthazar and Castiel to come in. We took our seats and got straight down to business. "So, this is the handy work one of my sisters has left for me to fix. I apologise on her behalf." I must admit she was the nicest witch I had ever met, but that wouldn't last for long. "You know what your sister did to us then." Annabella nodded slowly "well, can you get us back to how it was and out of this whole screw-up?" She again nodded and left the table heading for a cabinet. We all looked at each other nervous about what Annabella was about to pull out on us. When she came back she had a blade, bones of a small mammal, a silver bowl and holy oil in a separate bowl. Castiel sitting next to me leaned over and whispered "what's she doing?" As If I would know Cas. His terrified eyes stayed fixed on Annabella's every move. "Now. Let us begin!"

Cas jumped as Annabella spoke and pulled out the knife from its cover at the same time. She noticed Castiel's reaction, "don't be such a wuss! It will only be a small scratch." Cas stiff with fright nodded his head very slowly. Annabella laughed and poured the holy oil onto the blade. After that, she took hold of Castiel's hand while saying the spell. Carefully Annabella cut Castiels hand and allowed the blood to drip into the silver bowl which now had the bones inside it. The same happened with all of us apart from Balthazar, who already having a bleeding hand simply handed over the blood soaked bandage to her. "This little ritual seemed to easy, too pleasant. "So is that it?" I asked looking at everyone with them all having suspicious looks upon their faces. Apart from Castiel, still looking at the cut on his hand as if his arm was hanging off such a child! Annabell spoke "Well, not quite..."

"What does that mean?"

"The last part of this involves you drinking the liquid while it is alight." First thoughts were you won't catch me drinking that kid! And how could you anyway without it burning your mouth and face off? "But that's holy oil..." Said Cas pointing at the bowl "no kidding Sherlock!" Balthazar dragged the bowl off the table and looked at the contents. Castiel continued, "but if it's going to be on fire with holy oil." Balthazar ignored the fact that whoever was stupid enough to drink this would douse themselves in Holy Fire, not so good for your average angel. "How much do we have to drink?" Asked Balthazar swirling the liquid "about a mouth full." Annabella stared at us all waiting to see who would take the plunge. "You knew about them being angles. Didn't you?" Dean stared at Annabella leaning across the table, she looked away. "maybe." It seemed this teenager was not so friendly, maybe she knew that her sister was killed thanks to us. "Blood's thicker than water! My sister is dead I believe because of you, I helped you as I said. Just, not in an easy way..." Well that will be that then.

"Well hate so say it chaps but I think it's going to have to be a tossup between me and Cas drinking this delightful concoction! Since you to are *cough angels." Balthazar stood up and got a coin out of his pocket, "heads or tails Cassey?" I was surprised Cas hadn't fainted by this point. "Wait! You're really going to decide who gets fried by flipping a coin?" Dean looked at Balthazar, "problem?" Balthazar asked Castiel again what he wanted, Castiel eventually said "heads". The coin flipped and landed on heads, which meant Balthazar lost and had to drink this delightful concoction, much to Castiel's relief.

"O goody." Lifting up the coin from the floor Balthazar braced his self for the world of pain he was about to endure. Annabella took the bowl from Balthazar and smirked at him. Crushing the bones into dust she struck a match and up went the potion. Not wanting to waste any time, Balthazar grabbed the bowl and took a deep breath in. "So after Balthazar here turns into the new flames of glory, what happens to us?"

"You will return into your bodies and wake up again where you did at the beginning."

"Awesome!" Dean stood back looking like he was going to enjoy this. Balthazar put the bowl to his lips and downed the liquid in one. He dropped the bowl in pain and shock at the heat of the flames coughing violently. Everything around me began to fade away...

Back at the abandoned house, where it all began...

"Sam. Sam!" A faint voice woke me up. Above me stood Castiel (well it looked like him at least) holding out his hand to help me up. "Cas?" As I was helped up i noticed that I was speaking like me again. "Yes its me, Sam?" I nodded. It seemed the spell had worked. Dean was standing in the doorway as himself. All seemed well but Balthazar was nowhere to be seen. I looked at my hand and the injury from before was gone as if it never happened, and my face wasn't burned either from the holy fire thank god! We walked outside and there he was. "Balthazar, you're alive!" Dean was happy to see him alive, but even more so because of what the angel had in his hand. The keys to the Impala. "Is it here?"

"Well it's at your friends house-Bobby's-don't say I'm not kind!" Balthazar threw the keys into Deans hand now excitement knowing he would be reunited with his beloved Impala. Just I was about to say thanks Balthazar was gone, freakin angels. "Well just another day at the office, thanks to you and Balthazar's help Cas." I said but Castiel wasn't one for hanging around. "Well I don't have much time to stay. Being away and all from my army, I can take you home to Bobby's safely but then I must leave." Cas touched our foreheads and back in Bobby's we were, but Castiel was gone.

Bobby was in his chair and stood up when he seen me and Dean appear. "Take it you met Rick and that witch then?"

"You could say that." It was good to be back to our old selves, but before we could fill Bobby in Dean shot out the door to find his Impala, hopefully Balthazar was extra kind and took the big dent out it before delivering it. It looked like life was back to normal for us, hunting monsters and Daemons the usual family business...
