Ketch sat in the car and is parked across the road near the house where the Veras live. He kept his headlights off not wanting to draw any attention. The Winchesters have been in there a while. Too long for an interview. He could go closer. The curtains are undrawn so he can read their body language through the window and possibly read their lips.
Sam and Dean are smart they know if they are being watched. Ketch has learnt his lesson, never underestimate the Winchesters. Last time it cost him his life. Without Rowena's magic, one wrong choice he will be dead for good. There would be no coming back.
There is a tap on the window. The tap startled the Englishman. He whips round and faces the window. It was dark so he couldn't see who it was. He could see an outline of a woman.
Has one of the girls from the house noticed him?
Then her eyes glow purple and the window suddenly goes down.
Ketch's eyes widen. He goes for his gun. He stops when she speaks. With an accent that was familiar to him.
"Arthur Ketch."
Ketch gets out a torch and aims it at her face. The woman scolded.
"Do you mind." She says.
She covers her face nearly being blinded by the light. Ketch saw the red hair, he heard the voice.
He sighs.
"Rowena." He lowers his torch and hides his surprised expression. "Fancy seeing you here."
"I was going to say the same thing." She leans forward and raises her eyebrow. "You spying on the Winchesters?" Her face darkens. "What you doing Ketch?"
"I am working with the Winchesters."
"So am I." She says not looking convinced by what he just said.
He furrowed his eyebrows. The Golden Sword, the witch hunter.
"I know why you are here." He says. Rowena smiles. "The witch hunter." Rowena cocked her head in a teasing way. "I know the story. I know you're little victory."
"Little victory? That's what you call it? I Rowena Macleod defeated the legendary witch hunter. That makes me dangerous."
"You got killed by Lucifer."
Rowena flinched at the name. Like a knife stabbing her in the gut. Ketch smirks at her reaction.
"But I still came back." She plastered a fake smile. "I know what you want. You are not getting it."
That pissed Ketch off. The witch is here. The one he has searched for since he came back. With Michael, his monsters and the witch hunter Ketch does feel uneasy. One wrong he will dead and he will never come back. He needed a recharge. He needed Rowena. He didn't want to sound desperate. He didn't want to beg. That's what she would want to see.
Ketch shrugs pretending to not be bothered.
"I don't need it anyway."
"Sure." Rowena smirked. "You and Charlie had trouble with angels in the other world. You would have been killed if it wasn't for the Winchesters saving you. You would have been dead as a door nail."
Ketch frowns.
"How do you know..."
Ketch sighs. Charlie. The two red heads have become good friends.
"Charlie told me everything about the other world." Rowena says. "She talked about you. She definitely took a liking to you." Rowena laughs at his surprised reaction. "Not in that way."
"Uh yeah." Ketch replied looking slightly embarrassed.
He forgot Charlie was a lesbian.
"She likes you. But I don't. I certainty do not trust you."
"I do not blame you." He says.
Seriously he really does not blame the witch. He didn't even trust himself sometimes. He is trying to redeem himself but his past does come back to haunt him. It affects his choices and actions. He had to remind himself that his days of being a ruthless, cold bloodied killer are over. He is not being controlled anymore, he is not being brainwashed. He has his own choices now. Sometimes it was a challenge to make the choices he is so used to following orders.
"I'm going. I'll tell the Winchesters you are outside. Unless you join me. We are both working with the brothers."
Ketch knew he was caught either way. With a defeated sigh he gets out of the car and follows the witch. Rowena knocks on the door and grins at the Englishman. She felt like she was bringing a kid to their parents after catching them doing something naughty.
The door opens. Ketch recognized one of the girls. She was the waitress from the café. She looked at him with a surprised expression.
"Hey I know him. He was in the café."
"Rowena." Sam says.
"Ketch?" Dean says.
Rowena smiles.
"Hello Winchesters, girls and..." She looks at Parker. "...handsome man." She smirked.
Parker blushes at that comment.
Rowena's eyes go on to the Englishman.
"I found him outside spying on you."
Dean raises his eyebrow.
"Seriously."
"I was doing my job." Ketch replied looking awkward.
"Okay what is going on? Who the hell is he?" Mel asks her finger-pointing at Ketch.
"I think you better come in." Macy says.
The new arrivals walk in and the door closes behind them.
Eric sits and forms a plan in his head. He needs to kill the Charmed Ones. He wants to kill the Charmed Ones. But the hunters are in his way. Michael said he had plans for the brothers. It did make Eric curious what that plan was. Eric threatened to kill the Winchesters but he didn't want to. They are human and it is not Eric's job to kill humans.
Eric grips his sword and presses his head against it. He couldn't wait for all this to over. His dreams of being human is so close yet so far. He lost his royal status but he didn't care. He wanted to blend in and explore the new world. Most of all he wanted to find love and start a family of his own.
Michael is an archangel. He is from Heaven. Angels care about humanity. Eric had faith that Michael will grant his wish once all this is over.
Then Eric's head snaps up. His purple eyes go wide. A new witch has entered the town. He sensed her magic and pictured it in his mind. Her face appears in his mind. His purple eyes flash with rage.
He can remember the day as clear as a bell.
The day Rowena and her Coven trapped him in his own weapon.
Now the red head is in town. He has her right where he wants her. The need to kill overpowers him. His snarls and raises his sword.
The Charmed Ones and Rowena in the same town, this is a big win for the witch hunter. He can kill them all.
Eric is ready for a rematch.
This time he will win.
