Everything Has Changed

Bonnie Bennett

Finding the Winchester boys standing outside my door is not something I expected. It's been a bit over two months and I never thought they'd come back into my life so soon or at all really. I can't help but stare up at Sam. He's not quite the same as I remember. Something has changed.

"I thought we made a deal that you guys wouldn't come back to this town" I say raising my eyebrow at them.

"That deal kind of went out the window when Meg got involved" Dean says. "Besides, we're not here hunting this time. We need your help."

"Come in" I say after taking a moment to think. What kind of help could they need from me now?

Elena and Caroline are over for a girls' night but I quickly talk to them in the kitchen and they head out.

"So what brings you boys back to Mystic Falls" I say when I come back into the room.

"Crowley" Dean says quickly.

"I thought you said he was taken care of" I say and turn to Sam. Again I find myself aware of the differences I see in him but I can't figure out why they're there. If only I could just touch him and get inside his head.

"We were wrong," he says. "Dean says you helped us with him before, can you do it again?"

It's that sentence that gives him away and the look in his eyes.

"When did you get your soul back?" I ask him. It's strange how obvious it is that it's back. Everything about the way he carries himself and speaks is different. There's even a light behind his eyes that was never there before. A light I've only ever seen in my dreams. Plus if 'Dean says' it sounds like he doesn't remember which means getting his soul back came at a bit of a cost.

"Almost two months ago" he says.

"Looks like you're still in one piece" I say with a smirk. There's so much more that I want to say and do. A part of me wants to run into his arms and welcome him back into the world.

"Yeah," he says dryly. "I barely have any memory of the last year and a half of my life but I'm still in one piece."

I want to take away the pain I can see laced in his eyes. But instead I let it go and move on.

"So why are you still looking for Crowley?" I ask and look to them both for an answer.

"He's still looking for Purgatory. We just want to stop him and kill him for good" Dean announces.

"How did he get away?"

"He had a little help from the inside."

"Who?"

"Castiel" Dean says quietly. Oh, this is complicated.

"So you've got an angel and a demon working together. What do you want from me?" I ask. "Do you just want me to find him for you so that you can stop him?"

"No," Dean says. "We were hoping you could help us keep the door closed."

"How…" I start. I try to rack through my brain for the ways that I can even help but I'm coming at a loss. There is one thing that might work but it's crazy. I'm not strong enough for that. I shake my head and look back at them both. "Once they finish the ritual, I won't be able to stop them. No matter what we do."

"So what can you do?" Sam asks gaping into my eyes.

"She can destroy it" a familiar voice says suddenly.

The second we hear the new voice, the boys' guards come flying up and we all stand. They turn to the man with distrust pouring from their eyes. But I'm in more disbelief than either of them.

"Dad?" I ask incredulously when I know for sure that it's him in the room. I recognized his voice when he started talking but I'm surprised to see him standing there. "Where did you just come from?"

He stands there staring back at me but says nothing.

"Dad?" I question again.

He turns his gaze towards the Winchesters but again stays quiet. The way he's looking at them is almost like he knows them. It doesn't seem right. He's not questioning them or even communication more of what he just said. He's just standing there observing them.

"Dad!" I call again bringing his attention back to me. "What's going on?"

"You and I both know how you can help them" he says seriously. "Bonnie, you have the power within you to destroy Purgatory." There's something about the way he's talking that makes red alerts go sounding off in my head.

I stare into his eyes for a moment just contemplating what he's said and what has just happened. I don't tell my dad too much about the supernatural because he's never been a supporter of anything related to it. Him appearing here suddenly telling me I can save men he doesn't know from a situation he's not aware of is a sign that something is wrong. I step closer to him and reach my hand out for his and when I touch him all I see in my mind is a bright white light.

"Who are you?" I ask glaring at the man in front of me.

The stranger stares back at me behind the guise of my father's face and holds a look of content. He doesn't even shift under my gaze and I'm tempted to hurt him.

"You have always been a very intuitive girl, you make me proud" he says with a smile on his face.

"Who are you and what have you done with my dad?" I repeat with venom.

"My name is Ramiel and I am an angel of the Lord" he says. "Rudy Owens is simply my vessel."

"My dad would never allow anything to just take control of his body" I say in response shaking my head at him.

"As an angel, Sam and Dean can both attest that I am unable to take it by force. Perhaps you know your so-called father far less than you thought."

"Why are you here?" Sam asks moving closer to us. I can feel him standing protectively behind me.

"I've been keeping a close eye on you all and I'm here to lead my daughter into her destiny" he says with his eyes fixed on me.

"Excuse me?" I say quickly. "You may be in my dad's body but you have no right to call me 'daughter'."

"I have every right to call you what I please because you are my child" he says to me.

I tense instantly at his words.

"This is not the first time that Rudy Owens has allowed me to reside within his body and the result of that original encounter is you."

"What?" Sam, Dean, and I say simultaneously.

"You're lying" I say shaking my head at him.

"Am I? Nothing that happens on this world is done without a purpose and your birth was carefully planned. Bonnie, you know the story of Qetsiyah. You've come in contact with her yourself. Did you ever wonder how she had the power to create Purgatory?"

"She was one of the first natural born witches. Of course she'd be strong" I say unable to connect what he's trying to say.

"Yes, she was one of the first born witches" he says. "But her existence was anything but natural."

"What are you saying?"

"Qetsiyah was one of what many would call an abomination—the child of one of the fallen angels and a human."

"And how does that relate to me?" I ask trying hard to avoid what I can feel is the truth that he speaks.

"It was known, when her reincarnation would be born and unto whom. In order to ensure that you would be strong enough to defeat her and undo her work it was necessary that you too were born from an angel."

I stand there staring at him unsure of what to say. I'm half angel?

"If you're telling the truth, why isn't BB a giant or have wings sprouting from her back?" Dean asks with a chuckle clearly trying to make light of the situation.

"Not every Nephilim is the same. And her lineage has helped to mask many of the qualities that otherwise would have made her stand out" Ramiel says still looking at me. "Bonnie, you were born of me so that you could have the power to destroy the place your ancestor so foolishly created. It is your destiny."

"And what will happen to all the souls if I can do this? Will they be destroyed with it?" I ask.

"A soul cannot be destroyed. Once you have gotten rid of Purgatory, my brothers and I will lead them all to their judgments."

I look into his eyes again and then back to the Winchesters. It doesn't matter what he's just said. I was going to try it anyway, be it my destiny or not.

"Well, let's get started then" I say finally.

A/N: I feel like I haven't updated this in forever and I want to apologize. Updates will be more regular than this. Also I hope the Bonnie being a nephilim wasn't too random. I tried to allude to the idea that she was more than human before when she could see the hellhounds but I didn't want to give too much away then.

Please Review!

P.S. For those that haven't actually watched Supernatural, Ramiel is not an angel that has ever appeared on the show. He is just an OC. But, Supernatural is an amazing show so you should all watch it to learn about the characters that are on it ;-)
