A Balance Being
By: Alexandra Mooney
A Fan Made Supernatural Story
Dean sat in his room alone thinking about everything. He was so filled with anger and rage that he couldn't control himself. He walked to his bed and was lying down. He was tired of all the pain and loss. Then there a knock at the door. "Dean?" It was Sam. Sam walked into the room. He seemed to be worried about Dean.
"What is it Sam?" said Dean.
"I found a case in a small town in Ohio. There are seven victims' eyes burned out and burns all over the body. It seems to be Angel but they were shot. What Angel kills people with a gun?" said Sam.
"I don't know, but it is a good time for a case right now, Angel or no Angel," said Dean as he got up and began to pack his bag.
The ride was long, since they didn't speak a word. Soon they arrived to the small town. They immediately went to the morgue to view the bodies.
"Hello, I am Agent James White and this is my partner Agent Wilson Clark. We are here to see the burned victims," said Dean, as he and Sam show their badges.
"I am Dr. John. I am the one who did the autopsy on all seven victims. What does the FBI have to do with this?"
"You don't think it's odd that there are seven different people who died from the same thing?" said Sam.
"Fine, please follow me," said Dr. John as he lead Dean and Sam to the back of the room where the corpses were kept.
"Well, here they are, the first victim, a twenty-three old woman named Anna Brown. She has been missing for over three months. The next victim is a forty-five year old man who has a wife, no children, and the other five have not yet been identified," said Dr. John.
"Did you find anything odd about the bodies?" asked Sam.
"Why, yes, one of the women and three of the men seem to have retractable teeth, and for the rest, they all had human flesh between their teeth," said Dr. John as he showed the teeth and the flesh to Dean and Sam.
After they left the morgue, Sam spoke. "So whatever is doing this is killing Vampires and werewolves. We should find this beast before it starts killing humans." They began to walk to the police station.
"All I know is the more we go into this, the more it seems to be an Angel," said Dean as they approached the Sheriff's office.
"Hello, what can I do for you boys?" said the Sheriff
"Hello, my name is agent James White and this is my partner. We are here to get information about the crime scene of the burnt victims," Dean said as they showed their badges.
"I see, well good luck. There was only one thing found at each scene," he said as he pulled out a bag filled with seven feathers all were completely black.
Sam and Dean returned to the hotel they were staying at. "If this is not an Angel, then I have no idea what it could be," said Dean as he sat on the bed.
"But is it possible for an angel to have black wings? Dean, I think we need to call Cass for this," said Sam as he sat on the other bed.
Dean didn't say anything at first. "Fine," he said as he lay down.
Sam got up and called Castiel. "Hello Cass. It's Sam."
"What is it Sam?" said Castiel.
"We found a case in Ohio we believe could be an Angel, but what Angel has black wings?" said Sam as he walked around the room. Dean sat up on the bed and looked at Sam as he walked around the room.
"I will be there soon, Sam," said Castiel with a little bit of panic in his voice. And he hung up the phone.
"Cass?!" said Sam.
"What happened? What did Cass say?" said Dean as he got up.
"He said he is coming, and then he hung up," said Sam as he dropped his phone on the bed.
In less than a minute, there was a knock at the door. Sam got up and opened the door. "Hello Sam," said Castiel as he entered the room. Dean looked tired like he didn't sleep for days; he was sitting on the end of his bed drinking a beer. Castiel looked at Dean and then turned to Sam. "Where is the black Angle feather that you found?" asked Castiel.
Sam pulled out the bag filled with the black feathers. Castiel reached out to grasp it, but Sam pulled it away. "What's going on Cass?!" said Sam.
Castiel ripped the bag out of Sam's hand. "There is a story that the Angels used to speak of," said Castiel as he went into the kitchen and pulled out a bowl and other ingredients from a small bag which he was carrying in his trench coat.
"The story was about an Angel that was in love with a demon, and they had a female child with large black wings," said Castiel as he began to add the ingredients to the bowl. "The Arch-Angels killed the Angel, and the demon and sent the child to be trapped in Tartarus, and somehow she escaped," said Castiel.
"Tartarus, like from Greek mythology? Is it a part of hell?" said Sam as he walked up to Castiel.
"Yes, but no demon or human can enter Tartarus. Only the Arch-Angels were able to enter and she was too powerful to be put in purgatory or hell itself," said Castiel as he pulled out a knife and made a deep cut in his hand.
"Then how did she get out?" said Dean as he walked up aside Sam.
"That I do not know, but I do know we need to find her and destroy her," said Castiel as he picked up one of the black feathers and put it in the bowl. Then a burst of smoke came out.
"She hasn't killed any humans. Why does she need to be killed?" said Sam.
"Why should she not be destroyed? The Arch-Angels put her in Tartarus for a good reason," said Dean.
"Is there even a way to kill such a thing?!" said Sam.
"She is very dangerous, not just to Angels, but to every man, woman and child. No one should have such power," said Castiel as he grasped Dean's and Sam's shoulders.
Soon they appeared in front of a large house almost in the middle of nowhere.
"Cass! Next time give us a heads-up before you poof us somewhere!" said Dean. "Where are we anyway?"
"We are in the mountains of Colorado," said Castiel as he began to walk towards the house.
"What is this place, Bruce Wayne's mansion?" said Dean as he followed Castiel.
"It's odd that a house would be built all the way up here away from the city," said Sam as they walked up the stairs to the front door.
"It seems that she has some type of spell on this place. My powers are useless," said Castiel.
"Oh, great. I guess we have to do it the old fashioned way," said Dean.
"Dean, before we try doing anything, don't you think we should at least try to talk to her? I mean, we have met decent monsters in the past," said Sam as he stood in front of the door.
"Fine, whatever floats your boat," said Dean as he knocked on the door.
A tall old man opened the door. He seemed to be a butler. "Ah, Welcome Sir Winchesters and Sir Castiel. Lady Alexandra is expecting you," he said, as he let them in.
"You're a Reaper," said Castiel. Dean and Sam backed away from the man, both pulling out large knives.
"Was a Reaper, not anymore Sir," said the man "And please, no weapons. Lady Alexandra wishes to keep this a peaceful matter. And please follow me." Dean and Sam drew back their weapons.
The old man walked the down a long hallway to a large room where there was an inside pool. There was someone swimming on the side of the pool, but they were not able to see the face of the person. The old man picked up a towel and walked to the other side of the pool. "They are here, my lady," he said. The figure stood up and slowly came out of the pool. It was a woman. She opened her great, black wings. She took the towel and turned to look at Sam and Dean. She had long black hair that covered her shoulders. She also had pure blue eyes, as if her grace shown right through them.
"Hello Sam, Dean and Castiel," she said as she began to dry off her wings. She was wearing a white, two piece bathing suit with a very beautiful black design on it.
"You wish to kill me. I understand why, but yet you have not tried," said Alexandra as she wrapped the towel around her body. "You must be hungry. We will talk more during dinner. Albert, please show our guests to the dining room and make sure that the other guest has arrived. I will be there soon," said Alexandra as he went through a side door.
"Another guest?" said Dean as he followed Albert.
Albert walked down a long hallway and opened double doors letting Sam, Dean and Castiel into the dining room. As they entered the room, a voice rang out "Hello Boys." It was Crowley. He was in a pure black suit and he was standing in front of a window. The room was pretty large. It almost looked like a dining room from a 1900's house. All along the walls were show cases with different types of objects, most of them weapons. The cases had a spell on them which could only be opened by Alexandra.
"Please sit down. The lady will be down soon," said Albert as he closed the doors.
"Why the hell are you here, Crowley?!" said Dean as he walked to the other side of the table.
"I was summoned here. The better question is why are you still here? Usually you would have killed a monster like her already," said Crowley as he sat down in the chair next to the head of the table. "Oh, Don't mind me. I am just here to watch the show mostly."
"Dean!" said Sam as he was looking at one of the show cases.
"What is it now?" said Dean as he turned to Sam.
"It's the colt! I thought the colt was completely lost," said Sam.
Dean quickly walked to the side of Sam to see the colt. "Well that explains why the vampires and werewolves were shot," Dean said.
"That is not the only thing she has," said Castiel.
He was standing in front of a tall glass case which had a wooden backing and which contained a large sword.
"The Sword of Michael," said Castiel as he looked at Dean.
"How in the hell did she get her hands on Michael's sword?!" said Dean.
"How indeed," said a voice. They all turned to look. It was Alexandra. She was in a long black dress which was black as her wings. She walked to the head of the table and sat down. "Please sit. I believe you have many questions you wish to ask me," she said as she looked a Castiel.
"You can start with the sword," said Dean as he sat down in the chair next to Alexandra. As Dean sat down, so did Sam and Castiel.
"I was cast into Tartarus by the Arch-Angel because I was not meant to be created. So they punished me by killing my parents in front of me and trapped me in Tartarus to be tortured for the rest of my life, which is forever. After over 2,000 years, I found myself on these mountains. I was saved by an Arch-Angel Saraqael. He is the only one who didn't wish to kill my family or send me away. He gave me the sword to hide and protect it. He trusted me. His reasons are unknown," she said as she got up and looked at the sword. "If you wish to kill me, that is the weapon and the only weapon that can kill me," she said as she turned to look at Dean.
"Dinner is served," said Albert as he laid out their most favorite food. Dean got a large cheeseburger with fries, and Sam got a salad with grilled chicken. Alexandra had the same thing as Sam, but with no chicken.
"I thought Angels or demons didn't eat food," said Sam as he took a bite of the chicken.
"Yes, it's true, but I was born with some humanity in me," said Alexandra as she looked at the food.
"After so long, I still don't understand it. It only happens sometimes when I need to eat or sleep," said Alexandra.
"You are able to taste food and feel human emotions?" said Castiel as he looked at Alexandra. She did not answer, but looked at Crowley who looked smug in the chair. He looked amused. "Do you wish to say something Crowley?" said Alexandra.
"I am here to talk about our deal," he said.
"Deal?!" said Dean "You were not summoned here."
"Demons lie," said Crowley.
"Crowley, we will speak more about the deal later," said Alexandra.
"As you wish," he said and then vanished.
"You made a deal with Crowley?!" said Dean.
"No, at least not yet," said Alexandra, as she sat there calmly eating.
"Why?" said Castiel. "Crowley should not be trusted."
"I want to see what I will get out of it," she said and continued, "I am at a loss. I am trying to understand my purpose, to destroy or to help mankind." she stood up and walked to the window. "My parents were good people and wished to help those in need, but after my mother had caused so many deaths not just of humans but also Angels…"
Alexandra wasn't able to finish her sentence. She grasped her side in pain and fell to the floor. Albert appeared and ran to her side. Castiel, Sam and Dean stood up from their chairs. "Leave," she said. "Leave now," she yelled and waved her hand.
Soon after Castiel, Sam and Dean were back at the hotel in Ohio, Sam asked, "What just happened?"
"I do not know," said Castiel "I am going back."
"Cass, that is not such a good idea," said Dean.
"I know she is dangerous, but she is still a sister of the lord, and I will help her," said Castiel as he vanished.
"Cass! Dammit!" said Dean.
Castiel soon appeared at Alexandra's front door. Before he could knock, Albert opened the door. "Sir Castiel, I expected you to return. Lady Alexandra is in her study if you wish to speak to her," he said as he let Castiel in.
Castiel walked up the stairs and down a hall with Albert. He went into the study alone. The room was attached to her bedroom. The room had many shelves filled with old books and scrolls. There was only one window which a desk sat in front of. Alexandra was sitting in the chair in front of the desk which was covered in papers and books. Her wings where tightly closed to her back. "Why did you return Castiel?" she said.
She had changed her clothes. She was wearing a gray undershirt and jeans. She was holding a cloth to her side. Castiel walked towards her, knelt and slowly removed her hand and the cloth off the wound. It was deep and it was bleeding heavily. It seemed to be healing but was ripped open again. Castiel placed his hand on the wound and healed it completely. He removed his hand and stood up.
"I came here to help you," he said as he began to walk away.
"Why?" said Alexandra as she stood up.
Castiel stopped and turned around. "Because I believe you are not what your mother used to be."
"Castiel, you hold on to great pain. It has been a long time since I have seen an Angel, but you are the first that I have seen who has a pure heart, and for this I wish to give you a gift," she said as she walked up to Castiel. She put her hand over his heart. Then there was a bright light.
"What did you do?!" said Castiel in shock.
"Try this," she said as she gave him a piece of chocolate. Castiel ate the chocolate and could taste it sweetness.
"I gave you a piece of my humanity. You deserve more than me," she said as she began to walk away. Castiel grasped her hand and pulled her back. Alexandra looked into Castiel's eyes and they kissed. The kiss was passionate, almost like pure love.
After, Castiel looked at Alexandra and said, "I'm sorry," and left without another word.
Dean and Sam had returned to the Bunker. Sam was looking through "The Man of Letters" books to find more information about Alexandra, as Dean was drinking a beer and listening to his music.
"Here!" said Sam as he walked over to Dean who removed his head-phones. Sam read out loud, "May, 18, 1932, a hunter name James Gotthardt arrived with an Angel with large black wings. This is the first time we have seen an Angel that does not need a vessel to walk on Earth. After examination of the Angel, it seems to believe that she is not a pure Angel, as she burns when touched by holy water. She is not an Angel, but a hybrid of an Angel and a demon. We also discovered deep wounds along her arms and on her chest. They did not heal as fast as a normal Angel's wounds would heal. James believes this is so, because she is also part human, which came from her father's side because he was possessing a vessel. June 10, 1932, she escaped and killed both the men who were guarding the door. How she escaped is still unknown." Sam finished reading.
"It ends there," said Sam, as he closed the book.
Then Castiel appeared at the other end of the table. "Cass! Where the hell has you been?" said Dean as he stood up and walked towards him.
"Cass? Do you have lipstick on your lips?" said Dean.
Castiel walked and looked in the mirror and cleaned his face.
"Did you? No…" said Dean as he looked at Castiel.
Castiel turn a looked at Dean. "What did you find on Alexandra?" he said as he walked to Sam.
"You did! You kissed her!" said Dean.
"You did what?!" said Sam as he stood up from his chair.
"It was just a kiss," said Castiel as he sat in the chair.
Dean smiled and sat next to Castiel.
"She's hot. I don't blame you," said Dean, as he pat Castiel on the shoulder.
Castiel did not respond to Dean. "I believe she will be a great asset to you," he said.
"Oh great, we got another Castiel," said Dean.
"No Dean, there is only one of me," said Castiel.
Then out of the blue, a man appeared right next to Dean. Dean stood up with shock and grabbed the nearest weapon.
"Who are you and how the hell did you get in here!?" said Dean, as he pointed the weapon at the man. The man was tall and young, but looked like he had seen many horrible things.
"Saraqael?" said Castiel, as he and Sam stood up.
"Castiel, it's good to see you, but this is not a social call," Saraqael said as he walked around the room.
"Then why are you here?" asked Sam as he walked to Dean, taking the weapon out of his hand.
"To warn you the other Angels know that Alexandra is alive and they want her dead. She must be protected, no matter what," said Saraqael.
"Why?" said Dean.
"She is my responsibility. I promised her father that she will be protected from the Angels," Saraqael said.
"You wish for us to watch her and keep her safe?" said Sam.
"Castiel, I trust you to keep her safe," said Saraqael, ignoring Sam.
And then he left without another word.
