A/N: Okay so here is the next chapter. Sorry it took so long. I hit writers block and my muse decided to divert me in a different direction for a bit. I'm not a 100% satisfied with the last half of this chapter. I'm just not sure how to change it around. I really want to hear from y'all about it. If it's not up to par, I'll take down this chapter and redo it. Like I said before, that little muse moved me to write a one-shot for Dark Angel, if any of you are interested in reading that. It is rated M as well. Maybe now the muse will decided to move back to this story. Just have to wait and see. Anyway, I hope you do enjoy this chapter. Please leave a review. it's the only way I'll know if I need to change it.
Disclaimer: I own a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Sadly anything you recognize from Hollywood does not fit into either of those categories.
I groggily opened my eyes to take in my blurred surroundings. Blinking my eyes a couple of times, my vision finally cleared and noticed that I was in the living room. A couch was sat to the left of me, a love seat to my right, and an armchair right in front of me. As for me, well I was tied to a chair, that I'm sure was from the dining room. My head was throbbing from being hit so many times.
"I'm going to have issues when I get older."
"Ah, sleeping beauty finally awakens." I turned my head trying to catch a glimpse of Chase. The movement jarred my arm and pain laced through it. I felt something sliding down my arm and could smell the metallic scent that comes with blood. "Aw, poor baby." I sensed him behind me and heard his steps as he came closer. "Let me get that for you." He pressed down onto my arm and I bit back the gasp of pain. I was not going to give into him. I felt his finger follow the warm liquid trail. He moved his head next to me. Holding his finger so I could see the blood on it, he placed it in his mouth.
"Mmm, sweet and tangy." His lips brushed my ear and I fought back my revulsion. "Just the way I like it. I wonder if the rest of you tastes this good," he said huskily. Then he pressed on my wound and I felt something dig deeper into my arm. I realized that a piece of glass was still imbedded in my skin and it wasn't a small piece either.
"Finally decided to play did we?" Angie walked into the room, stopping in front of me. Chase rose and moved to stand beside her. "I'm glad. I would hate to think that all our fun was ruined because the main attraction was too weak." Her mouth curved into a sinister smirk. My mouth felt like cotton as I tried to speak.
"How long have you been in her?" I set my glare on the both of them as my hand moved to my wound. I forced myself not to wince in pain as I tried to dislodge the glass.
"About three months. I flitted around after escaping from the Devil's Gate that Jake so graciously opened. All of the other bodies were alright, but this one…," she ran her hands down her body and moving closer to me. "Mmm, I really like this one." She leaned down. "So did your boyfriend," she whispered in my ear. She pulled back, looking down at me with a smug smile. I knew Reid had gotten around before we got together. Hell, she had even told me they had had sex, but after last night's incident that comment made my blood boil.
"Its too bad he didn't like my other body as much." She shrugged her shoulders. "I would've really liked another ride, but you know exactly what I mean don't you? One taste of Reid Garwin is never enough." She licked her lips. I assumed she was recalling her night with Reid. Knowing that the hell bitch had touched my man pissed me off even more. I felt the glass finally pull loose. "Tell me, do your brothers know you fuck like rabbits?" I just glared at her as I set to work on my bindings.
"Not that it's any of your business, but we've only done it twice." I figured as long as I kept them talking it would keep them distracted and they wouldn't notice what I was doing. Making slow, short movements, I asked the next question that had been on my mind.
"What other body?" She smiled at my question, obviously just waiting to gloat about it.
"You didn't really think that was all Missy did you? That little girl may want him bad and talk a big talk, but in reality she's too petrified of what you'll do to her if she tries again." She had possessed Missy last night. Then it clicked. That made me realize she must have done something to Reid so he wouldn't push her away.
"Although," she leaned back and crossed her arms, "I don't see why. You're just the runt of the litter. I'm sure your brothers would be glad to be rid of you. I mean you're just a burden to them. First the shape shifter, now this, and that's only in a span of a few months." She chuckled. "I'd hate to see how many times they had to bail you out in your life." I clenched my jaw. I knew she was baiting me, playing into my insecurities to get a rise out of me. Of course, she had to pick one that was typically at the forefront of my mind.
That was one of the things I always ought about on a hunt with the guys. There had been quite a few times when they had to bail me out, especially when I was just starting. They never made it seem like it was a chore for them, always holding onto me tight and making me swear to never do something hat stupid again, but I still felt that they were always frustrated when it happened. I was their weak link. I was the one that they would do anything to keep safe, no matter the danger or how foolish the plan was. They would do whatever it took to get me back alive and in one piece and the creatures that we hunted learned that quickly.
"You know, I have a great way to keep her out of trouble," Chase said leering at me.
"Don't worry Chase. You'll get your turn with her." She moved to walk around me, so I stopped cutting and hid the glass in my hands. I sat there digesting everything when a light bulb went off. They're not after the Power. Well, there's was only way to find out.
"What do you want? If it was Reid's powers, you would've tried taking them last night."
"Oooh and here I thought Sam was the only smart one in the group." Angie moved back into my field of vision. "You're definitely catching on quicker than your boyfriend." She looked to Chase and nodded her head, apparently giving him the signal to continue. He smiled, happy to take on the job.
"You see my dear, sweet Addison," he said, brushing his fingers across my cheek. I pulled my head away and his smile widened. "I don't need their pathetic power anymore." He looked at me expecting me to question him more. I remained silent, but he continued anyway. "You see when Caleb 'killed' me, he just sent me to another plane of existence." He walked over to Angie and threw his arm around her shoulder.
"That's where I met my first demon. She promised me that if I joined her, she would stop the aging my powers caused and give me even more power. I, of course, agreed. It was simple really, everything I want on a silver platter. The best thing was that at some point in time I would be able to come back and take care of the Covenant. Imagine my surprise and joy when it turned out to be my first assignment." His face lit up in excitement.
"So that's why you're here then, revenge?" He shared a look with Angie then shrugged his shoulders. I continued working on the ropes.
"Not really, this is just a bonus to the real assignment."
"Which is?"
"Your brother of course," Angie said. I looked at her.
"You've already got Dean's soul at the end of the year."
"Oh I know and I'm going to make a special trip back down to the pit just to say hello. Besides, I never said it was Dean we're after."
"Sam?" She smiled. "He's not going to lead your damn army." They started laughing.
"Oh we don't want him to lead us sweetheart, we've got that part taken care of," Chase said, winking at me.
"Azazel was foolish to look for outsiders to lead us. He should've been looking within his own ranks." I remembered my conversation with Sam about the Sturbridge job.
"You're working for Lilith."
"Mmm, I love a girl with brains." I felt the glass slice through the last piece of rope. I grabbed the rope before it fell. I ignored Chase's comment, even though it sent a panic through me.
"So you just took the people…"
"To lure your pathetic family here, yes," Angie said with a smile.
"And you chose Ipswich just so Chase could have his revenge."
"Well, that's part of the reason." Chase smiled smugly. "We also figured that we would try to get them to join us." Chase's head whipped around. "You didn't think that we would only want your powers, did you?"
"But…"
"That's demons for you Chase. Their deals are never clear cut."
"The orders were to get them to join us, but seeing as they won't our new orders are to get rid of them." She smiled at Chase and he returned it.
"Now I like those orders."
"So what does Lilith want with Sam?"
"Why, she wants him dead of course. You see Lilith doesn't like the competition and since there are still many that want to follow your brother, she has decided they need to see the light. What better way than to show them their precious champion with his head on a silver platter."
"And what do you get by doing this job? Do you move up in rank or just stay off Lilith's shit list for a while?"
"Oh, I'm already high on the ladder sweetheart. I'm one of Lilith's generals, the fourth in command of her army."
"Then she must want to replace you with someone better. I mean, she did send you on a suicide mission."
"Oh is that right? I do believe you are playing our game sweetie. You are, after all, tied to the chair and you moronic brothers have no idea where you are," she smiled smugly and crossed her arms. She was right. They didn't know where I was, but I had faith that they would find me before anything worse happened. I couldn't help but laugh at her though. She was definitely underestimating me. That pissed her off even more.
"What's so funny you pathetic sack of bones?"
"The fact that you don't know a thing about me or my brothers is hilarious. See, if you had done your research you would've known that the Winchesters and the Coopers are fighters and we don't stop until our last breath." With that said I kicked out at Chase landing a shot close to his groin. You should've tied my legs too, dumb ass. Then I dropped the rope and stood. Before Angie realized what was happening I had landed a punch square on her nose. I heard and felt the crack, silently feeling guilty for the real Angie if she was still alive in there as the blood gushed down her face.
Then I was slammed into the wall. Again. This really has to stop. It's not like I expected to win the fight. I wasn't that stupid, but I'll admit I was dumb to think Chase wouldn't be able to recover quickly. Damn power. At least I had shaken them up. They now knew not to underestimate me. This would make it far more difficult to attempt an escape. Chase's black eyes glared at me. Angie had stopped clutching her nose and turned to me. Her eyes black as well. She brought her fingers up and examined the blood coating them.
"You humans, you're so weak and fragile." Holding her index finger up to her mouth, her tongue darted out and licked the blood off.
"Oh yeah? Well just remember bitch, without us you wouldn't be able to stand here right now." She moved her hand and my head slung to the side. I could feel my cheek throb as if she had slapped me with her hand.
"I'm going to enjoy watching you suffer," she said maliciously. Then she looked to Chase. "You may have your fun now." She smirked to me and walked out of the room.
"Alone at last." He grabbed my chin forcefully causing me to gasp in pain. Instantly I felt his lips on mine and his tongue pushing into my mouth. He pulled back with a smile. "Mmm, delicious," he said snaking his tongue out to lick my lips. "So tell me sweetheart, have you been having sweet dreams?" My eyes shot to him in alarm.
"You've been giving me the nightmares." He smirked.
"I wouldn't exactly say they were all nightmares. Some were just little glances at all the fun we're going to have. Well, at least I'll have fun." His lips descended onto mine once again, but I held firm and did not give him entrance to my mouth. He pulled back and looked into my eyes, his hands dropping down to my legs.
"You know normally I like a girl that's quiet." His hands began to slowly slide up under my dress. "But right now I'd really prefer a screamer." He ripped off my underwear and attacked my neck, biting hard. He licked the mark as if he was trying to sooth it. "Do you remember when I did this in your dream?" He shoved a finger roughly inside of me. I started to struggle, trying to get out of his hold and away from him before he progressed further.
"Remember how you squirmed just like you are now? How you panted and bucked? How you begged me to give it to you? The only thing was it wasn't my face." His eyes darkened as he pushed into me harder. I stopped squirming and bit back the scream of pain and frustration. I wasn't going to give him what he wanted. His tongue trailed up from my collar bone to my ear.
"Do you have any idea how it made me feel hearing you call out his name?," he hissed and shoved another finger roughly inside of me. Reid. He disguised himself as Reid in my dream. Damnit, why can't I remember? "Well this time you'll be screaming mine." He picked up speed and forced his fingers deeper.
I was dry and his rough treatment was hurting. Then his fingers hit a spot and my body jerked. My eyes widened as his malevolent smile expanded. He directed his finger to hit that spot every time. I, in no way, was enjoying what Chase was doing to me and I cursed my body as it reacted. Then he withdrew his fingers and held them up for both of us to see. Liquid glistened on them and I felt ashamed. I knew it was my body's natural reaction, but that didn't do anything for my conscious.
"Well, well, well. Now what would Garwin say, his girlfriend getting off with another guy?" He brought his fingers up to his mouth and licked them. "You taste better than I thought. I'll have to sample some more later. Right now, we need to get down to business." His hands went to his belt. As he unbuckled it, I started fighting against his magical hold. I was not going to let this bastard rape me anymore.
"It's useless you know. I will have you and you will give me an heir." I froze and looked at him wide eyed.
"What?," I breathed out. He smirked at me. Bringing his other hand up, he brushed the hair out of my face and stroked my cheek.
"Why do you think you're still alive? If we just wanted Sam we would've killed you and left you here as bait. The moment I saw you I knew I had to have you. I talked to Lilith and she said I could have you as a reward for a job well done."
"You haven't killed Sam yet, so the job isn't done."
"A minor detail, he'll be dead soon enough along with your other brothers and the rest of the Covenant. Then you and I, well we can be together. No interruptions." His hand trailed down my body. "I still can't believe you gave yourself to him first." His jaw clenched and rage flared in his eyes, but just as quick as it appeared it was gone. A smile came to his face as he slipped his hand under my dress and placed it on my stomach.
"But I guess that doesn't really matter now, does it? I've got you and I'll get the most important thing from you." He pressed his lips to mine harshly and frantically began working on his pants once again. I was beyond panicked at this point. He was going to rape me and knock me up and there was nothing I could do about it. The tears started to fall as I thought about my brothers. What would they say if we got out of this alive? What about Reid? Would he forgive me or would he say I should've fought harder and turn his back on me? I wished they had killed me. It would be better than this suffering.
Chase was about to enter me when there was a loud bang. It sounded like a door being blown open. Hope started to rise in me. They've found me. Chase had halted at the sound. When gunshots started echoing throughout the house, he quickly fixed himself and grabbed me and holding me bridal style, never relinquishing his magical binding. I tried struggling, but once again it was a fruitless endeavor.
"I guess we'll have to take this somewhere else baby." At that moment, the door blasted open. I looked to see Reid standing in the doorway. His black eyes landed on me and I could see his body sigh in relief. Then they turned to Chase and I could feel the rage flowing from him.
"Let. Her. Go. Collins." Chase simply smirked.
"She's mine, Garwin. If you want her you'll just have to try and take her." Reid rushed at us, but he was too late. Chase transported us into another building. Looking around, I noticed it was a small barn. I saw a window and managed to glance outside. We were behind the house. I could see the lights on and movements indicating the fight that was still going on. Next thing I knew Chase had me up against another wall.
"Shouldn't you be in there? I'm sure Lilith won't be too happy with you for abandoning your job." He smirked at me.
"I'm sure they can handle your brothers and that group of misfits. Now where were we?" He pressed against me again and kissed my neck, working on his pants once more.
Reid's POV
I froze as Chase used to escape with Addison. No. I was about to use to try and find where they were when the fight from the other room tumbled into the room.
"Reid! Where is she?," Dean shouted out as he dodged a kick from Brian.
"He took her. He used to escape." I ducked as Jacob threw a punch in my direction. We hadn't planned this out well enough.
As soon as we figured out where they had taken Addison, we split up and took off. Pogue and Tyler had gone with Sam, Caleb was with Mason, and I had taken off with Dean in the Impala. We divided the houses amongst us. We had come to the last house on our list when we found them.
I sent a text to my brothers so they could meet us. Dean and I crept up to the house to try and get an idea of where they were holding her. We went to a window on the side so we could hide in the shadows. The room turned out to be the living room. In the middle of the room stood Chase and some girl with their backs to us. The girl moved forward and leaned down. That's when I saw the blonde hair and I sighed in relief. I looked to Dean and he nodded his head in acknowledgement. He had seen her too and I could see some of the tension leave his body as he realized she was still alive.
Next thing we knew, Addison was out of the chair throwing a punch at the girl. Chase was on the ground clutching himself. I knew how he felt. She has one hell of a kick.
"That's my girl," Dean said. I could hear the pride in his voice. Then I saw Tex go flying into the wall. I started to stand, when Dean yanked me back down. "Not yet. We need to wait for the others."
"But.."
"Look kid, I don't like it either, but there is no telling how many demons are in there. We're likely to get her killed if we just barge in." I crouched back down in frustration. I watched as the girl removed her hands from her face. She turned to face Addison and I finally recognized her.
"That's Angie."
"Son of a bitch."
"What?" I looked when he nodded his head back in her direction. Her eyes were as dark as midnight during the new moon. "Shit."
"They're using the stolen bodies."
"Why?"
"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling all of this was a trap. Damnit Sam, where are you?" He crept to the corner to look and see if the others had shown up yet. I looked back to the window just as Angie left the room. Shifting my focus back to Tex, I felt my blood start to boil. Chase was kissing her and his hands were roaming her body. I fought the urge to rush in there and beat him to death. I knew Dean was right. It was practically a sure fire way to get Tex killed.
"Dean," I growled out. His attention turned to me, but I kept my focus on the scene in front of me. Chase ripped off her panties, the ones she got as a present to me, and shoved his finger into her. I felt a presence stiffen beside me and knew Dean had seen it.
"That bastard is dead." He pulled out his phone. "Sam? Well, get here quick. Reid and I are heading in. Lil' Bit needs us. Listen, the demons are using the bodies of the missing kids. I know it's a trap, but I've got one of my own. When you get here we'll already be inside. The Colt is in the trunk. Only use it if necessary. Place Devil's traps outside the front and backdoor. We'll direct them that way when your done and send the bastards back to Hell." There was a pause and I saw Dean's face harden.
"There's no time Sammy. Just do it." With that he hung up the phone and pulled out two guns. "You ever used one of these babies before?" I shook my head. "Its real simple. This is an automatic. Just pop the safety and pull the trigger." He handed me the gun. "Just make sure your aiming it at the right person."
"So we're going to kill them?"
"Well, injure them mostly. That's why Sammy is going to put up the Devil's traps. It's our only chance to save them," he said as we made our way to the front.
"Why don't I just use my powers?"
"I'd prefer you save that for Chase in case we need it. Besides, I don't need you getting old so soon. Somebody has to take care of my little sister when I'm gone." My head snapped up, but he wasn't looking at me. He checked his gun and then looked at me.
"Do me a favor. Don't use that gun unless you really need to. I don't want Lil' Bit to turn around and use it on me because you shot yourself." He smiled and I just rolled my eyes and smirked. "Ready?" I nodded. "Lets go." He kicked the door down and charged into the room. I followed behind him as he did a sweep of the room. We heard feet pounding down the stairs.
"Go get Addison. I'll take care of these guys." I looked at him. "Go kid. Save my sister." He opened fire as the guy I knew to be Jacob came hurtling down the stairs. I tried the door, but it wouldn't budge. Standing back, I let the power take over me and my eyes fade black. A burst of power left me and the door busted open. I could see the relief on Tex's face and I glared at Chase as he held my woman in his arms.
"What do you mean he used?" He fired another shot, hitting Brian in the shoulder. I ducked a punch Cara threw at me.
"I mean he used to escape." I was to caught up dodging Cara that I missed Jacob sneaking up on me. He knocked my feet out from under me and Cara dove on top, her fists flying. I managed to grab her wrists and fling her off of me. As I tried to get up Alex kicked me in the ribs. I groaned in pain. I didn't think he had broken any of them, but I knew they were going to be bruised. I managed to look over and see Dean trying to get Jacob and Brian off of him.
"Where the hell are they?," I asked before another kick landed in my stomach.
"Enough!!" I looked up to see Angie walk into the room. She nodded to Brian and Jacob and they released Dean. He moved to attack and she sent us flying into a wall. We hung there, our feet dangling just inches from the ground. "Well I never thought you would find us this quick Winchester."
"You guys were never known for your intelligence." Suddenly there were four large gashes across Dean's chest. I could see him biting back the scream. "Is that the best you got bitch? I mean Azazel did worse than this and I'm still standing," he replied cockily. God, do I sound like that sometimes?
"Oh, Dean. You know, you're so much like your father." I watched as Dean's face hardened at the mention of his dad. Addison never really told me how he had died, just that he did while saving Dean. She moved closer to us and placed her face in front of his. "And I had so much fun torturing him." I could see his jaw clench in anger. "I already told your pathetic sister I was going to make a special trip down to see you. You should've seen her face." She started laughing and took a step back.
"We know you're trying to get out of this deal Dean, but it will never happen. Your time is coming and when it does I hope I have a front row seat." A malicious smirk formed on her face. The only signs of Dean's anger he allowed to be seen was the tensing of his body. I decided it was time and tried to use my powers, only to find them bound once again. Then she turned to me.
"So, Reid?" She walked over to me, swaying her hips and licking her lips. "You know you can join us and I'll give you whatever you want," she said as she trailed a finger down my chest.
"I want Addison," I bit out, not in anyway turned on by her attempt to be sexy.
"Sorry. She's already spoken for, but I'm sure we can find a better arrangement." Her hands slipped under my shirt and ran along my chest. I was disgusted.
"Now what would I want with a demon slut like you?," I asked, smirking at her. Anger flashed across her face. She removed her hands and slapped me. I could feel the trickle of blood from where her nails had cut into my flesh.
"Fine. I was giving you a way out, but it seems you would rather die with the miscreants than revel in the power we could give you." She took a step back. "So how much longer before your brother shows up Dean. I have other things to do."
"So this was all a set up to get Sam to lead your damn army." She rolled her eyes.
"How many times do we have to go through this with you morons? We don't want Sam to lead our army. We never have. We want him out of the way."
"Well here's your chance." Sam stood in the doorway with a gun pointed at the demons.
"Ah finally, the fun can begin." The others moved to attack Sam. He fired off a shot hitting Alex in the leg. He fell to the ground.
"I thought we were trying to save them?"
"We were, but now we're trying to save ourselves," Dean said as he struggled against Angie's hold. I watched as Alex got back up.
"How is it not affecting them?" Sam got off another shot, hitting Cara in the shoulder.
"They're demons, kid. If you haven't noticed it takes a lot more to take them down." Jacob moved towards Sam. As he lifted the gun to fire again, Brian attacked and knocked the gun from his hand. Then Sam was against the wall opposite of us.
"Don't go anywhere boys," Angie said as she made her way to Sam. I could see him fighting her hold as well. "So this is the great Sam Winchester? And just what, pray tell, makes you so special? What makes you worthy to lead us?" Sam just glared down at her. "Oh come now sweetie. I figured Dean was more the strong silent type."
"You want me, you got me. Now, let my family go." She shook her head as she chuckled.
"No, no, no. Sorry honey, it doesn't play out like that. You're our main goal of course, but you see your little family has been a pain in our ass for centuries. It's time for a little payback." I turned my head to the left to look at Dean, when movement outside the window caught my attention. There stood Tyler pouring something along the window.
"Dean," I whispered. He looked at me and I nodded in the direction of the window where Tyler was finishing up. We looked at the other windows and saw Pogue and Caleb doing the same thing. Dean looked back to Sam. They apparently mastered the art of silent communication. Dean looked up to the ceiling and a smile formed on his face.
"Get ready for a show, kid." I looked at him confused. "Hey, you ugly bitch, where is my sister?"
"Don't worry so much Dean. Chase is taking very good care of her. After tonight you might be an uncle, although you'll never get to hold your little nephew. No big deal, we'll raise him properly." A devious smirk formed on her face as the color drained from ours.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"She means Chase is going to knock her up," Alex said a smirk similar to his leaders on his face.
"Garwin?" I looked to Dean. I could see the silent question he was asking me. I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat.
"Our first born son inherits the powers. Chase wants an heir."
"That's right Blondie and we're going to mold that little boy into the perfect weapon. It's just too bad we couldn't get the four of you to join us. Imagine the original Covenant back together again. You would have been treated well, but now you're just going to die."
"I believe I asked you a question. Where is my sister?"
"I'm tried of this," Angie said as she yawned. "You four can have those two, but this one is all mine." She turned to Sam and he glared right back at her. The other four demons moved forward.
"I thought you said something about a show?" I was beginning to panic. It felt like we were going to die and Tex would be left to their mercy. That thought scared me even more.
"Just wait," he bit out. They were only a couple of steps from us when they stopped. They looked at each other and Alex tried once more to get to us, but it was like he ran into an invisible wall. I was confused and looked to Dean. He had a smile on his face as he watched the demons try to breach the barrier.
"Don't you just hate Devil's traps?," he asked smugly. Suddenly I heard a voice at the door. Snapping my head in that direction, I saw Mason. He was staring intently at the four demons. He began walking forward. Angie let out a savage shriek and moved to attack, but whatever words he was saying had weakened her powers and hold three of us up had pushed it too far. Sam dropped to the ground and moved to counter her.
"Keep going Mason. I got this bitch," Sam called out. Mason had slowed down his words, but seeing that Sam was free to help him he started to speak rapidly once again. Sam pulled out a gun from behind his back and I saw Angie's eyes widen.
"I thought you said guns don't hurt them," I called over to Dean.
"That's no ordinary gun, kid. That's the Colt." I was confused, but any explanation could wait until after we saved my Tex. Mason had moved closer to the trapped demons and inadvertently left a space for Angie to slip through. Seeing this Angie moved just as Sam fired the gun.
"Shit," he yelled out. "Keep going!!," he called out to Mason as he followed Angie out the door. Dean and I dropped to the floor as Angie's powers released us. I stumbled to my feet and raced out the door. I had to find Tex before Chase….no, I couldn't think that. Addison was a smart, resourceful girl. I would get there in time. I was out the front door and slammed into a body. We tumbled onto the porch.
"Reid! Reid man calm down." I looked up to see that I was struggling against Baby Boy. I stopped and he pulled back. Standing up, he offered me his hand and pulled me to my feet. I saw Caleb and Pogue standing behind him.
"Reid, are you…"
"We have to find her," I said cutting Caleb off.
"What do you mean Reid. I thought you said she was in there," Pogue said.
"She was. Chase disappeared with her just as I got into the room."
"Where would he have taken her.?"
"I don't know, but we have to figure it out fast. Chase wants an heir." The shocked expressions on their faces would have been hilarious if the situation wasn't so serious. Then I saw Sam come running around the corner of the house. "Did you catch her?" He shook his head. The anger clearly evident on his face.
"No, the bitch got away."
"How the hell are we suppose to find Addison?!," I shouted at him. He was up the steps and in my face within a minute. Well, that was stupid.
"Well, the firs thing you can do is not antagonize the beast." Our heads snapped to the voice at the bottom of the stairs. A petite blonde stood there with her hip cocked out and watching us. If her smile was any indication, she was amused by my outburst.
"Ruby," Sam said.
"You two know each other."
"A little."
"Great. So how can you help us find her?"
"Oh that's easy." She closed her eyes and opened them again.
"Another fucking demon," I spat out. I looked at Sam. "You work with her? I thought your job was to send them back to hell." Sam opened his mouth to speak, but Ruby cut him off.
"Hey kiddo, if you want to find your girlfriend before Chase completes his mission, I suggest you quit bitching." She walked up the steps and stood in front of me.
"So you know where they are?," Tyler asked.
"Of course. Well, no the exact location."
"Then why the hell…" She turned to me and I shut up.
"As I was saying, I don't know their exact location, but I'm sure the little demon girl you let get away ran straight to where they are."
"So how do we find her?" Sam asked. Ruby turned to me.
"Hold on tight buddy boy." She grabbed my arm tightly and blinked. The next thing I knew we were standing in front of a barn. I started to say something, when Ruby held up her hand to silence me. She pointed to the side door that was slightly ajar. We worked our way over there and listened to the voices as we went. I knew it was Angie and when we got to the door, the sight before me confirmed it. She was yelling at Chase. Addison was held against the wall, obviously by powers. I just didn't know whose. I let my eyes turn black as the power coursed through me, fueled by my anger.
"Let's go." I started to move forward when Ruby clamped her hand on my shoulder and yanked me back. Falling onto the ground, she stood over me. Her hands were on her hips and her fingers were tapping her hip bone.
"You just want to barge in there with out a plan? Are you forgetting the first time you did that with Dean you lost her?"
"Well, then what do you suggest?," I sneered.
"We go in smart. I'll take out the bitch and you can have your little testosterone fight with the boy."
"How are you going to take her out?" She reached behind her and pulled out a knife. It had a wooden handle and came to a fine tipped point. One side of it was partially seriated. "What's that going to do? I thought you guys were immune to guns and knives."
"This isn't an ordinary knife. It's made to specifically kill demons."
"So what are you doing with it?"
"Look do you want to save your girlfriend or get my life story?" I looked at her. She obviously saw the answer on my face. "Good," she said, nodding her head and extending her hand to me. I got to my feet and looked at her curiously.
"Why are you helping me?"
"I'm not helping you. I'm helping Sam."
"But wh…" Her look clearly said that she wasn't going to give me an answer and I should quit while I was ahead. "Let's go." She motioned to me and then the door. Then she pointed to herself and the side where there was an opened window. I nodded in agreement and we moved into position. I only prayed that Chase hadn't done anything else to my Tex.
