"Do try not to get killed." Alphard said in monotone to Aster after he healed her. He nodded at Saliene who had just come back in with Dean. She returned the nod and he vanished. Aster quickly pushed herself up off the couch and started for the stairs, wanting to disappear in the study. Dean stood awkwardly, still feeling bad for his lose of control. Sam felt uneasy as well, knowing what his brother, the Vampire, had just done. He felt about to snap. Dekka sensed this and grinned to herself. Time to put her own little twist in this crazy story. Paris was already in the study himself, doing his least favorite chore- Research. Torren was layed on the couch in the upper loft area, trying to keep himself from thinking about Saliene.

He knew their connection as well, but he couldn't take her away from the man she already loved. Even if he was a monster, and even if he didn't deserve her.

It was her choice. Not his.

"I, think I need some air." Sam stammered, rushing out the back door. They group stared after him. Dekka smiled nervously.

"I'll go see what's up with the geek boy wonder." She offered, walking after him. Saliene turned to Dean, now that they were alone.

"I'm still disappointed with you, you know."

"Yeah, I do."

"Do you care?"

"Nooot really." He replied, walking off to his room. He needed space, he couldn't think over the sound of Saliene's blood coursing through her.

Saliene sighed, so much for getting Dean to become human again.

"Sam! Hey, wait up nerd. God, you are fast for someone who always has his nose in a book." Dekka called out after Sam. She didn't really need him to slow down, but it was annoying when she was trying to talk to him, and he just kept walking. Sam halted his fleeing, he was trying to vanish for another day or two so he could be upset alone. Things just weren't working for him as of late.

He ran a hand through his hair anxiously, awaiting Dekka to reach him. She finally did and stopped a few feet from his left, he was facing the house still.

"What is it, Dekka?"

"What's up?" He rose his eye brow at her.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, can't a gal be interested in a human's, uh, personal activities?"

"Okay, one, that sounded completely suggestive. Two, it's called personal for a reason. And three, when the Hell did you start caring about Sam Winchester's sex life?"

"Hey, maybe I want a shot to be a part of it." Silence hung in the air.

"Really?"

"No, no, that was a joke. I would never,"

"Okaaay yeah, got it." Some more awkward silence filled the air between the two. Dekka cleared her throat.

"So there is a real reason I followed you."

"Oh?"

"I know how you're feeling, Sam."

"Do you now?"

"You feel left out, helpless compared to all the other magical beings you're around day to day." Sam was surprised, maybe he wasn't as secretive as he thought.

"Again, why do you care?"

"I know how you feel, kind of. Because of my past ability to choose sides, I was always left out of the big things. So I then took it upon myself to learn on my own every side of the big picture. Knowledge makes me feel more powerful than anyone around me, like I can tell it does for you." She explained. Sam nodded, understanding.

"Is that all?"

"No. I want to make you an offer."

"Such as?"

"I can make you into a Angel Tiger." Sam gasped, was she serious? How could she do that, when she'd only just become one herself?

"How?"

"Nope, no questions. Yes or no." Sam considered for a moment.

"Will it hurt?"

"Not one bit." He put his hand over his mouth, trying to decide. What would the others do? They hadn't forced Dean to remain human, so, why should they freak over him being a Nelcian?

"Okay.. I'll do it." Dekka grinned wide, this would make things even more interesting.

"On one condition." Damn, she thought. So close.

"What is it." She asked, ready to give up. He'd surely ask something impossible of her.

"After wards you and me go alone to locate Destiny." He told her. The Angel Tiger's eyes grew wide. That was unexpected. She could defiantly do that.

"Sure, what for?"

"Ah-ah, no questions." She pouted, he ignored it. She sighed. What she didn't know was that Sam wanted to force Destiny to bring Tia back to life, then have her tell him where the real God was located so Dean wouldn't have to lose Saliene. God needed to get rid of Pollux, not her. He couldn't even think about how depressed Dean would be if he lost her.. He'd become his old self again, now coupled with being a Vampire, Sam couldn't see a happy ending in that scenario.

"Fine, let's get you in your stripes then, geek boy."

Saliene had walked out back after Dean had left, expecting to spot Sam somewhere around so she could talk to him. Unfortunately he was no where in sight. She sighed and headed for the pier. She wondered as she walked how many times Dean had gone there to vent when she'd died.

Reaching the dock she sat where she had so long ago, feet dipped in the water. Shock flew from her toes through out her whole body as she put them in, it was.. Cold! It wasn't much of a bother, but if was different. Before, she hadn't been able to feel temperature at all.

"This is certainly new.." She breathed, sloshing the water around with her feet. She fixed her gaze towards the setting sun, but she couldn't look directly at it. She put her hand over her head, but even when she could look towards the sun, it hurt. It was too bright.

"The Hell.. I've literally become a pussy." She scoffed. I am such a super kitten, she thought to herself. She sighed.

Her thoughts wandered back to Melody, how was she doing? Had she become a writer? No, she wouldn't yet. She was still only seventeen. She missed her though, and Mimiko. But was having a hard time now knowing that Melody was her, just human. No wonder she'd wanted Saliene's life, they were the same person. She felt just as compelled to protect the weak. But Saliene knew she'd be better at doing that by writing her stories and sharing them with the world.. Saliene wished she could be there to read the first sentence of her first book.

Little did she know, she had already lived it over a year and a half ago.

"Aster, I have a question for you." Paris spoke up over his researching. Aster sighed, she had been up here for over an hour now, and still her and Paris had nothing on how to kill Pollux. Saliene's becoming God idea was starting to appeal to her.

"What is it?"

"Wouldn't some one on Nelco know how to kill a Super Nova?"

"What makes you say that?"

"Was that not the reason you all went there in the first place, minus Saliene being welcomed back?" Aster thought about that, it was true. Yet, they'd never found a way. They were too caught up worrying about Saliene after her fall from the stage in that Safirean bar.

"Yeah, you're right. What are you getting at?"

"I think you and I should go have a good look around for someone who might have the info."

"Any leads on who that might be?"

"Well, we could start in our own elements, your kingdom and mine. Then after we can meet up and share what we found."

"Sounds perfect, let's go right now."

"Now? Shouldn't we-"

"Nope, now." Aster said, and with that they disappeared in a flash of orange light.

"What do I do?" Dean asked himself, sitting on his bed. He'd been up here for hours now, and Saliene hadn't come up to talk any sense into him. And his stupid ears couldn't help but pick up the sound of hearts beating all through out the house. He was going mad up here, he needed to be out doors.

He opened up his window and jumped down, landing on his feet. Okay, he thought, so being a Vampire is kind of useful. But not when it makes you want to sink your teeth into every person around you, he sighed.

Maybe normal wasn't so overrated after all.

He scoffed at his own thought.

"Yeah, because my life was totally normal before I became a member of the undead." He said out loud. He wandered over to the pier, it was his thinking space. Where he could just sit, relax, and wait for the answers to come to him.

With his new Vamparic eye sight, however, he noticed Saliene was already sitting there herself. He swallowed hard, he didn't want another confrontation with her, he couldn't handle it.

Saliene noticed Dean from where he was too, he began to turn around though and walk back to the house. She stood, then appeared right behind him.

"Dean," She said. She was a bit shocked, she didn't think Safireans could teleport. But then again, she was no normal Angel Tiger. Dean turned around, surprised.

"Uh, hey Sal." He offered.

"Hey to you too. Do I smell bad or something?" Dean was perplexed.

"No?"

"Then why did you walk away when you saw me?"

"I, just didn't.."

"Didn't what? Want to be near me?"

"No no I, I didn't want to fight with you, again.." He explained. Saliene didn't expect that, but understood. He knew they wouldn't agree on the condition of his soul, so it was no use arguing about it.

"Oh don't worry Dean, it won't be much of a fight." Saliene said to him. Dean felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise, it was her demon side, shit.

"S-S-S-"'

"D-Dean?" Saliene stammered. He looked like he'd just seen a ghost, yet, he was staring right at her. She was befuddled.

"Are you alright?"

"Am I alright, ha, that's a really funny ques- No I am not alright!" He shouted dramatically. Saliene followed him with her eyes as he threw his arms up then down in a fit of frustration.

"What's the matter then?"

"What do you- Oh wait you don't even know!"

"Don't know what Dean quit being so vague!"

"You're going dark side!" Saliene and Dean fell silent.

I didn't mean to say it like that.. Dean thought to himself.

Saliene put her hand to her head, feeling dizzy. She dropped to the ground, thoughts bashing around in her mind about what could be wrong with her.

Am I going dark side? This morning, the blood on my clothes.. Did I kill innocent people last night, with out even remembering it? She wondered.

"Whats.. Wrong with me, Dean?" She breathed. Dean furrowed his brow and kneeled down next to her, helping her sit up.

"I, we're not sure."

"We?"

"Every one else kind of, knows."

"Knows what? What did I do?"

"Nothing much, yet. Just your face.. Sometimes..."

"Dean, vagueness, just talked about this."

"Right sorry, it just, you look a tad.. Demonic."

"A tad? How much is a tad?"

"Okay I lied a lot you look freakishly demonic like the demon bitch of demon bitches."

"Thanks, sweetie."

"Sorry, just the truth."

"Back to what I look like in my freakishly demonic form, please." She said, redirecting the conversation.

"Okay, well, your eyes turn purple, your smile goes half way up your face and your voice puts Ally's to shame."

"I'm sorry, Ally?"

"She's your, uh, instinct." Saliene stared quietly at her boyfriend.

"A real bitch too." Saliene shook her head.

"Great, I'm part demon and now it's screwing me over."

"Hey, it's alright we'll fix you up."

"How? Strain my soul to get all the flakes of demon bitch out?

"They really have soul strainers?"

"No, Dean, that was sarcasm."

"Oh, well there's a good example of the demonic bitchiness right there." He smiled, trying to make a joke. But as per usual with Dean's jokes, they also, sounded like insults. Much like Aster's.

"No, that was just me. But thanks babe, I love you too." She scoffed, rolling her eyes, and walked away. She decided to just teleport to her room when she remembered she could do that, which confused Dean as he was watching her walk away, and then she just vanished. He hoped she'd only transported herself inside. And with that, he too, teleported to his room, falling face first on the bed, legs and feet dangling off.

"UUUUUUGGGHHH!" He screamed into the covers, the sound lost to all but Torren who was passing through the upper loft area to talk to Saliene about how he felt, which cause him to turn his head in many directions in a feeble attempt to determine where it had come from. He gave up and shrugged not five seconds later, knocking on Saliene's door.

"Come in." She called from her balcony. She was opening a new pack of cigarettes, which she'd actually had to purchase, rather than manifest.

"And what kind would you like, miss?" The cashier had asked her at the gas station earlier that day.

"Uhm, do you carry Paul Mauls?"

"Sorry we just ran out."

"Are you fucking kidding me?! Great, this day just gets better and better. First, this stupid breathing and heart thing, now, this?!"

"Oh honey, so young and you already have heart and breathing problems.. You need to quit." She had then thrown the cashier a death glare and said,

"I'll take a carton of Marlboro one-hundreds." And left proudly carrying her large box of lung cancer.

She now looked down at the cigarette she'd taken out as Torren walked into her room.

She stared at the tobacco, grimacing as she did.

Maybe I should quit, I'm pretty sure with working lungs, I can obtain cancer.. Damn, screw this being a Nelcian thing, so dreadful and unhelpful an-

"Hey Saliene." Torren spoke up. She looked up at him, placing the cigarette down on her patio table.

"What's up?" She asked him. He sat down across from her, unable to take his eyes away from her. Why was she dating a screw up should-be human? He could never understand, but he did know one thing.

All is fair in love and war.

"Nothing much, how's being a Nelcian so far?"

"So far? It sucks ass." Torren laughed, so did Saliene, though she was serious.

"Yeah well, it'll take some getting used to."

"Oh most certainly, maybe after a few centuries the whole breathing thing will just happen on its own too." Torren looked at Saliene worriedly.

"Saliene, breathing is uh, it does just happen. You aren't consciously aware of it unless you repeatedly think about it." Saliene was embarrassed now, she HAD been thinking about it, since it happened. It was hard not to noticed something that had never happened her entire life.

"Well then I'm obviously not doing this right." She smiled, laughing with Torren. Torren was finding it hard to resist just grabbing Saliene and kissing her. But he couldn't, he was only here to tell her how he felt and that that was why he couldn't stick around any longer, he'd just prove to be a distraction for her. And they needed her.. More than he did.

"So, Saliene I, I have to tell you something." Torren began. Saliene cursed in her head, she knew that tone all too well. This was going to end badly.

"Uh, sure, go ahead."

"You know about Azurah, right?"

"Yeah, my great-great grandmother?"

"You know about her and I, don't you?"

"Uh huuuh.." Please stop talking.

"I.. I know you know where I'm going with this."

"Yup."

"Okay, well yeah.. I'll just be leaving then." He replied, standing. Torren's heart felt heavy, but he knew what he had to do. Pollux couldn't win this war, and Saliene wouldn't be able to defeat him if not even her own love life was in order.

"What? Why?" She asked, confused. She definitely didn't want to have a relationship with Torren, but that didn't mean he couldn't help them.

"It would be better that way, trust me."

"I disagree."

"Really?"

"Well, yeah. You don't need to leave for something like that, we can't even do anything about it."

"Then why hasn't Dekka said anything like this? She's your essence too." Saliene paused, he was right. So why wasn't her grand mother attracted to Torren?

"I don't know.." She trailed. The two shared an awkward silence before Torren just started to walk away. Saliene looked at her feet, she didn't want things complicated again between her and Dean. But she knew it was wrong just letting Torren walk away.

Saliene could have sworn at that moment that the world was out to get her. Or maybe just Pollux and Crowley.

Torren looked up at Saliene, she was just so.. Beautiful. That's it, he thought to himself, walking up to her.

Before Saliene could wonder what he was doing, he grabbed her by her shoulders, pulled her into him and kissed her with all his might. Saliene's eyes were still wide open, however, but eventually they fell shut. After a few seconds Torren pulled back, ashamed. He lost control, he was no better than Dean.

"I.. I love you.." He trailed, walking out of her room.

Saliene still couldn't move, even after she no longer smelled his scent anywhere around her house.

"What am I going to do.." Dean asked himself, sitting on the pier in her back yard, gazing at the sun set as it dropped below the horizon.

"May I suggest something?" Alphard's voice came from Dean's right. He quickly stood, startled.

"Wh-what?"

"Let me make you human again."

*Author's Note: Stayed up nice and late again to get this magic to you all :) ENJOY!
