Chapter 2: The Place
(Annie's POV)
My eyes were closed but I could feel the brightness of some blinding light shining on my and prying them open out of curiosity. I knew I wasn't home, and I knew I had been pulled into the alternate universe of Protection. But I didn't want to be here, and they couldn't make me do anything.
When I opened my eyes I saw people surrounding me in a circle. I sat up hastily and gasped.
"Who the hell are you?" I whispered harshly. One of the older women smiled and came down to me.
"We are here to show you what you are to become." She said. I inched away from her.
"I already know what I am and where I belong and it isn't here. So if you could be so kind to send me back to my home I would really appreciate it." I told her coldly.
"Dear we can't do that. You have more power then most people here, and a better heart as well. You were meant to do good." She told me.
"I won't." I whispered.
"What do you mean you won't?" She asked.
"I won't do anything you tell me unless you send me back." I told her. "You can take my powers and you can give them to someone else. If this is going to cost me all the things I have ever wanted in my life then take them! I don't want them."
"Sometimes we have to be willing to give up what we want for what we can become." She said calmly.
I looked at her in disgust. "Well I guess I'm not that willing then. And I never will be."
"That will change." She said with the same sure calmness. "We will make sure of it."
I snarled.
"Bring it on bitch." I said before pushing her out of my way and standing up. "I doubt that was the kind heart you expected." I said sarcastically before pushing through the circle of these people and walking away.
But then I quickly came to the realization that I had no clue where I was. Everything was white or gold and people were all dressed in these amazing sheer white and glowing garments. Girls had dresses and boys had pants and shirts.
It was almost like they were all angels.
Needless to say I looked very out of place in my ripped jeans and layered racer back tank tops with my huge beaded jewelry and black stilettos.
I didn't care. I had to find a way out. Then that freaking annoying lady found me again.
"I know you don't want to be here, but can I at least show you where you will be staying?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever." I said and I followed her into my new accommodations.
Ok, they weren't bad… a little too much white for my taste but the bed was comfortable and it was pretty good size. But the thing that caught my eye most was a mirror in the corner. It looked like it should be hanging but it was just sitting on the ground and leaning against the wall. Curiously I walked over to it and sat in front of it.
"What are you for?" I asked. I searched around the area and tried to find something that explained it. Not only was it not hanging, but the trim was black… the only thing black in this entire place. Well, besides my shoes. I pulled the mirror away from the wall and saw a gold handle on the wall. I pulled it open and a small journal came out.
I opened the journal and inside was Latin phrases. Since I was in such a curious mood I said one of them.
"Ostendo mihi meus pectus pectoris votum" I said, or stuttered out. French was my language, not Latin.
But whatever I did cause some kind of stirring with the mirror. The glass started to spiral and in seconds what I saw shocked me.
"Dean…" I whispered. It was him, and Gabi and Sam all looking through my book in Gabi's living room.
The tears fell down my face as the thought that this was the only way I may be able to see them forever hit me.
"We have to find her…" I heard Dean say. Gabi nodded .
"The only way to do that is to get into their world. Otherwise she is going to have to get out herself. And we have no way of telling her how." Sam said.
"Come on Sammy, I am right here… just say it please. Just tell me." I whispered.
"How exactly can she get out by herself?" Dean asked.
"Yes! Thank you Dean!" I exclaimed. I was talking to them even though I knew they couldn't hear me.
"She has more power then most people there. As long as she denies their authority and uses her power against them they will assume it is not in her nature to help them and send her back. The only thing about that is they knew she will rebel for a while so they won't do anything for days." Sam said.
"And one day there is like a week to us. There is no telling how long it will take her to convince them." Gabi chimed in.
"Shit…" I muttered. That was just great.
"Wait, so even if she does figure this out then it might be months before I see her again?" Dean asked.
He was crying, or wanted to. I could see the worry in his face and the tears stinging his eyes. All I wanted to do was hold him, or have him hold me. Either way, I knew it would happen.
They slowly started to fade out of site and I wiped the tears away from my face. I looked at more of the phrases and read them off.
Some Latin I understood it wasn't easy but I got some of it.
The last phrase I had said was to see my hearts desire. And it showed me Sam, Gabi, and Dean… the three people I loved most. Now hopefully one of these phrases would let me talk to them, or let me go down to them even as a spirit and give them some kind of sign to show them that I would do this.
'Permissum meus diligo audite meus dico'
That was it. Let my love hear my call. With out any hesitation I said the phrase and waited for the mirror to do something.
It spiraled again and this time was zoomed farther.
"Did you guys hear something?" Gabi asked. The guys looked around and I spoke.
"Dean? Sam?" I said hesitantly. Their heads shot up.
"What the hell…" Sam muttered. I was crying really hard and I had no intention to stop.
"Guys don't freak out its me. Not some weird spirit or anything." I said to them.
"Annie?" Dean whispered. Now the tears fell down his face. "Where are you?"
"In this weird universe thing. But in the room they gave me there is this weird mirror and it has these spells that go with it and one of them is letting me talk to you. Look I am probably breaking a million rules by talking to you and if they catch me I don't know what they will do. But a few minutes ago I heard you say how I could get out. Is it true though? About the time?" I asked.
"Yeah, it is…" Gabi said sadly.
"Then I need to find a faster way. I have already cussed this lady out for being to nice to me. I can't stand these people!" I joked. Dean smiled a little bit.
"That's my girl…" He tried to joke.
Then I heard footsteps coming to my room.
"Shit… okay guys um, I love you… but they are coming and if they catch me I don't know what will happen. But I will try to do this later, I promise." I said.
"Annie wait…" Dean yelled but I said stop. And the call ended.
Just as it did, two big guys in white (no duh.) came in and took me out of my room.
"You weren't supposed to find that." One of them said. I rolled my eyes.
"Well I did and what are you going to do about it? If you take it away I will just find it again. I'm pretty good at sticking my nose in where I don't belong." I told them.
"Some one wants to see you." The other one said. They took me into this big ceremonial looking room and an old guy in a gold robe was there.
"Oh please don't tell me you are God, if so then I have a lot of praying to do." I joked.
I was trying to keep my anger and sorrow at bay by being a major bitch to anyone and everyone.
"No Annie, I am not that high up. I am just in charge of this realm, and we have a coronation to discuss." He said. The two big scary guys left and it was just me and the old guy.
"Who's getting coroneted? Send them a congratulations card from me would ya? I have to find a way home." I told him coldly.
"Annie you are getting coroneted. Once you do, then you can keep any bad from happening to that world you call home." He told me.
"Don't you already have people who can do that? I know it sounds selfish and all but I really don't want to have a whole universe in my hands. That's a bit to much for me to handle." I said.
"The only other way is to give your power to someone else, but we can't find anyone else with your heart." He said.
"Ok dude, listen in case you haven't noticed, but ever since I got here I haven't been little Miss Mary Sunshine. In fact, that's not really me at all. I'm more of a selfish, ignorant type of girl. So sorry, but I think you have the wrong heart. But I can gladly give these powers to anyone here. They all have to be good people right?" I said nervously.
The man just smiled. He was actually smiling at me! What was his problem?
"I may not be God but I can tell when you are acting Miss Delacour." He said.
That wasn't my name anymore. I didn't want it to be my name. I liked my new one, especially considering what it meant.
"Sorry, Delacour isn't my first last name anymore." I told him.
"Oh right, you are now Anastasia Elizabeth Delacour Winchester aren't you?" He said sarcastically.
I wasn't liking this guy to much.
"Yes I am, and I would appreciate it if you would just let me go back to being that girl in her own world. I promise to be good and kill any thing bad. But if you keep me here, I will just be cold, unforgiving and bad. You may even have to send me to hell. Maybe I will become a demon just to piss you all off!" I said, letting my anger rise out of me.
"You really are serious aren't you?" He asked sincerely.
"Yes I am. I want to go home…" I told him. He shut his eyes for a moment.
"We will try and find someone else to give your powers to then. But in the meantime you have to stay here and do as you are told. That means planning for your coronation." He told me.
"Are you serious?" I asked. Now the tears were back and freely flowing down my face.
"Yes, but I can't assure you that we will be able to find anyone." He said. I nodded sadly.
"Just out of curiosity, what happens after this coronation?" I asked. He sighed.
"Everything from your past will be erased and you won't know anything other then this world." He told me. My eyes widened and I walked closer to him.
"Then you better find someone to give these god damned powers to." I whispered harshly before stomping off.
When I got out of the room there were two girls sitting there waiting for me.
"We need to get your dress." They said. I scrunched my face but before I could say anything they were pulling me into some store filled with white wedding like dresses.
I was scared, I wanted to go home. I wanted Dean, I wanted Gabi, I wanted my apartment, my car, my bed, my guitar.
Ok so I could do with out the guitar, apartment, car, bed, hell I may have even been ok with out Gabi… but I wanted Dean.
More then wanted, I needed him.
