Chapter 7: The Truth

(Annie's POV)

They didn't know my secret. They didn't know how I could do this alone. And I knew that this thing would be a piece of cake.

See, the thing about being an Enchantress, is that you can't be just half of one. So even though my father was human, I got the gift from my mother, and it wasn't just partial either.

And one thing that could bring this creature to its knees, is an Enchantresses song.

See another thing about things like me, we could entrance and help the good people, but we also brought the evil ones to their knees. They couldn't stand the beauty, it pained them to see it, or hear it in my case.

I was an Enchantress of song. Just like my mother.

Which was another reason I didn't want Sam and Dean to come. Yea I was pissed off at Dean, but also, if they heard me, not only would they know my secret, but it might affect them. And then it would affect their ability to help me if I needed it. So in the end, it was for the best.

I entered the woods and heard the strange noises immediately.

I got a gun out, and started singing some random notes softly.

Then I saw it, a wolf. I sang louder. Not really to a tune or with words, but just vocalizing. But the wolf wasn't budging.

'Ok that is not something supernatural." I said to myself. It started running towards me, I ran away from it. I tried to shoot the gun, but it was empty.

'Crap!' I was to angry at Dean to check and see if my gun was loaded. I tripped over a vine. How perfect was this? I tried to get up, but it didn't work, my foot had gotten tangled in the vines and I couldn't get it out.

"Oh god, oh god oh god." I whimpered to myself as the wolf got closer. Then when I thought it was too late, I heard a shot from behind. The wolf fell down dead. And Then I saw them.

(Dean's POV)

I saw her with her foot tangled in the vines, and saw the wolf charging for her. I panicked. So did Sam. We both raised our guns and shot the wolf. It died instantly. Once it was down, I ran over to her.

"Told you not to go alone." I said as I untied her foot from the vines. She just looked at me for a minute. I couldn't read her expression at all. But as soon as I looked into her eyes, any anger I had faded.

"Are you ok?" I asked as soon as I got her foot untied. She nodded and looked at the ground.

Ok something wasn't right.

"Hey, hey look at me?" I said softly. She raised her head slowly and then, out of no where, she collapsed into my arms. She wasn't crying or fainted. But she was shaking and breathing heavily.

"Supernatural things I can handle, when it comes to actual animals, I am no good." She whispered. "For the first time, I almost died….I've never…." She tried to get it out, but I knew she couldn't. I pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head. I instantly felt her relax.

"Come on, let's get you back." I said, as I helped her up. She nodded and we walked to the Inn. I stayed with her and Sam went to get some food to bring back.

"Hey Annie, when we first got there, we heard singing. And it wasn't normal." I told her.

"Really," She said, she sounded almost worried.

"Yea, do you think the thing in the woods could be a siren?" I asked.

"No, I mean you heard it right?" She asked. I nodded. "Well, did you follow it, or did it make you have any fantasies?"

"No, it just made me relax." I told her. "Kind of what and Enchantress might do." I said, actually, now that I think about it, it did sound more like an Enchantress.

As soon as I said that, she stiffened up.

(Annie's POV)

"Kind of what and Enchantress might do." He said. Oh no. I wanted to tell him. But I was afraid.

"But an Enchantress wouldn't hurt anyone." I said.

"Exactly, I think there is one already on the case, so if that is true. We can just leave." He said. I cringed.

"No, we can't." I said.

"What do you mean? I know that was an Enchantress, Sam was positive to. And so all they have to do is use whatever power they have, this one was song and let them take control." Dean said.

"We can't leave Dean!" I said.

"Why not?" He asked. I was angry, because now I had to tell him.

"Because that was me you heard you idiot!" I said. His face was priceless.

"What!" He exclaimed.

"Remember the whole story about my mother and her being a Enchantress of song? Well if you had done your homework you would know that there is only one Enchantress of each kind. Song, Power, Dance, Night, Day, and Music." I said.

"And you got the gift when your mother died." He said blankly. I nodded. He came down and sat by me.

"Why didn't you say something earlier?" He asked.

"I didn't want to be treated different. I wanted to be normal." I said, staring down at my hands.

"Yea well with what we do, there is no way any of the three of us could be considered normal." He told me.

Then I remembered the car. I stood up and walked to the corner of the room.

"Yea, but since I don't mean anything to you then I guess you shouldn't judge me for this." I said coldly.

"You heard?" He said, almost embarrassed. I nodded. "Look, I didn't mean that."

"Oh, really?" I said.

"Yes, I mean that kiss was… wow… amazing could describe it. But I can't do this Annie. I can't fall for you. We have been together non stop for 48 hours, that is a while to get to know each other, and we still have some ways to go before I could know if I was falling for you. But with what we do, I couldn't stand to lose you." He said honestly. I never expected anything like that to come from a guy like this.

I just stared at him.

"So I do mean something to you?" I asked quietly. He walked over to me and placed his hand lightly on my face.

"Yea, you do." He said. I knew I smiled some.

"Good, because we are going to be spending a lot of time together and I would hate to think that you didn't care because then if I was in some situation where I needed help I may not get it, and same for you because if you didn't care about me, I may not care about you and that would just end up in a huge mess…" I kept rambling, he laughed at me a little.

"Hey Annie," He said. I stopped talking for a minute and looked at him. "Just shut up" He told me quietly before bringing his lips to mine.

This kiss was lighter then the one the day before. But it was still incredible. I pulled away though.

"I thought you said that we couldn't do this?" I whispered. I totally understood his reasoning though.

"I think, that even though it is risky, we might deserve to actually get something we could want. But for now, let's be friends, possibly with some huge benefits though." He said. I laughed a little.

"Ok, I can do that for now." I said, before kissing him again.
