AUTHOR NOTE: This was 1 of 2 prize stories picked from my 50 Tumblr followers celebration. Also, Bonjour is French for hello and chienne is French for bitch.
Summary: You are a hybrid of a witch and demon and in love with the king of hell himself, Crowley. You two were happy until something happened and you had to flee. How will you take it when you find out about his death?
You were what humans referred to as a hybrid. You were half witch and half demon. Centuries ago, a demon had taken a liking to your mother and possessed her which ended in your birth. Your mother kept you in hiding fearing for your safety. Being a witch was bad enough, but being half demon, hunters would search far and wide for you if word got out. You were lonely usually. Even after you had grown up and went off on your own. You kept to yourself honing your witching skills. The only place you felt even the least little bit at home at was in Hell. At least there you were around others like you, well the demon side anyway. That's where you met him. He had just become the king of the crossroads when you met him, but the minute you laid eyes on him you fell head over heels in love. You could still recall the day you met him.
You were walking around the catacombs of the hell castle. You felt oddly at peace there. Even the screams of the damned didn't seem to bug you. "Don't see many witches here," you heard a thick British voice say. It seemed to be mixed with a bit of Irish as well. You looked to see a demon dressed in a nice suit, his dark hair combed back.
"I'm not just a witch," you said letting your french accent escape a little as you flashed your black eyes.
"A demon witch?" he said intrigued, "never thought such mix would assist,".
"Yes well," you said, "who are you?"
"You can call me Crowley," he said, "king of the crossroads,".
"I'm Y/N," you said, "other than being a hybrid nothing too special about me,".
"Oh I'm sure there's more to you than that love," he said, "how about I take you to dinner and we can get to know one another,".
"Sure," you said smiling at him, "sounds lovely,".
From that point on you were pretty much joined at the hip. You became closer every time you two were together. He loved when you would flirt with him in French. Before long you two were a couple. You even tagged along when he made deals. Truth be told you would even get others to make deals. Usually flirting around the bar. Evan the hell hounds Crowley had seemed to like you. You could pet them whenever you wanted. Then you met her. His mother, Rowena.
You walked into Crowley's then little office. "Hello love," he greeted you with a hug and kiss.
"Who is this Fergus?" you heard someone ask. You noticed a mix of anger and annoyance cross his face.
"I'm afraid we have company," he said, "mother this is my girlfriend Y/N, Y/N this is my mother, Rowena,". You had heard of Rowena here and there. She was a witch known for joining and then being kicked off every coven she ever tried to be part of.
"Bonjour," you said holding out your hand. She just looked at you.
"You're a witch?" she asked. You nodded.
"But there's something different about you,", she said, "something not witchy, but not human either,".
"I'm not human," you said flashing your black eyes. Rowena looked shocked.
"She's a demon witch?" she asked, "you went and got yourself mixed up with a hybrid?".
"Mother, stop being rude," Crowley said taking your hand, "Y/N may be a hybrid, but she is very important to me and I will not allow her disrespected,".
"If hunters get wind of her they'll kill you both," Rowena warned.
"Let them try mother," Crowley said and turned to you, "come love, I'll treat you to dinner someplace less crowded,". And with that, you two vanished. Later while you were going through some spells in the castle library
Rowena appeared.
"I know what you're up to," she said, "you are only with Fergus because he's a successful man,".
"No," you said standing up, "I could care less if he was successful or if he was even any kind of demonic royalty. Your son treats me like I matter. I love your son and he loves me so get used to it,".
"I'm warning you right now Y/N," Rowena said, "you either leave my son alone or I'll make every hunter I can find aware of your existence,".
"Chienne!" you shouted, "you don't scare me, Rowena, just wait until your son finds out,". With that, she huffed off.
Unfortunately, Rowena made good on her threat when you didn't stop seeing Crowley. You didn't think she was serious, but to you, Crowley was worth the danger. You had never known love or true freedom until you met him. You loved him. It hurt so much when you realized you had to run. To hide so no hunter could find you. You remember Crowley holding as you cried. Begging him to find some other way to keep you safe from the hunters that didn't involve leaving him.
"Please Crowley," you pleaded into his neck as you held onto him tight, "there has to be another way to hide. Don't send me away,". Crowley gently cupped your face in his hands as you looked up at him.
"For the moment love there isn't," he said wiping away stray tears with his thumbs, "but I promise you as soon as I take care of my mother I'll come for you,". That just caused more tears to flow. He gave you a soft kiss and just held you for as long as he could.
That was the last time you saw the man you loved. Not a day had gone by you didn't think of him. You missed feeling his arms around you. The only place you felt safe and protected. You missed his kisses. You missed being with him in hell. Your true home. What you missed most was his voice. What you wouldn't give to hear him call you love or darling again. You could always sense him in a way, but lately, you felt off. Like something was wrong. The feeling grew by the day and eventually, you just couldn't take it anymore. You decided to go home, find Crowley, and make sure he was ok.
You searched all over the castle and found nothing. Not even demons would tell you where he was. Some would just smirk and vanish. You had only one place left to go but really didn't want too.
You used a tracking spell to find her and you stood in front of her door. Taking a deep breath you knocked. She opened the door and looked shocked. "Y/N?" she asked.
"Bonjour Rowena," you greeted, "I'm in no mood for games. I need to know is Crowley ok?". You noticed a look cross the witch's face. It was a mix of sadness and grief.
"Come in," she offered as you walked in.
"Something has been off lately," you said, "like I can't sense him anymore,".
"You really don't know?" she asked. Panic started to set in.
"Know what?" you asked.
"Y/N dear," she said, "Fergus...is dead,".
You remember a coldness spread through your body and an ache so strong in your chest you screamed as you ran out of Rowena's place. You weren't sure where you were running to, but you felt you had too. Like running would somehow lead you to Crowley. Like it would change what Rowena had told you. Eventually, you couldn't run anymore and you slumped down against a tree. You had ended up in a forest somewhere. All you could do then was cry. Soon you felt yourself drift off until there was nothing but darkness.
When you woke up you were laying on a bench in a huge yard. You sat up and looked around. When you looked behind you there was a huge mansion. It was almost the size of the hell castle. You walked to the doors and went inside. "Hello?" you called, "anyone here?". You didn't get a reply at first.
"Y/N darling," you heard a familiar voice say, "you're looking even more beautiful than I remember,".
Crowley?" you asked, "is that really you?".
"Of course it is," he said. You couldn't stop yourself from running to him and jumping right into his arms.
"I've missed you so much," you said.
"And I've missed you, love," he said.
"But, I don't understand," you said, "how are you here? How am I here? Where are we?".
"Come, love," he said, "I'll explain everything," Crowley lead you inside and as he showed you around he explained everything.
"So, I died?" you asked, "in that forest?". He nodded, "how?" you asked.
"Of a broken heart love," he said, "now our dream world is complete because we're together again,". You smiled and gave him a soft kiss.
"I'm glad," you said, "being without you is something I never wanna experience again,".
