The story takes place right after the season 10 finale, after Dean killed Death, the Mark of Cain was removed and Darkness was released into the world. I mentioned before, new characters will be added and thrown in the story and I will bring back several former characters from the show in the upcoming future.
Chapter 68 Caught a Witch
Dean, Sam and Ava all just stared at Madame Bess waiting for her to tell them what she knew about Rowena's whereabouts after being in a brief trance when she touched Joy, the tied up maid for a while.
"Okay ma'am, give us the lowdown" said Dean urgently.
Madame Bess was still quite calm and relaxed despite the urgent looks on their faces and being aware of the emergency of all of this.
"Patience, dear what I can tell you is that after tapping into that girls head I saw a vision of this Rowena putting some kind of hex on this poor girl" she said pointing at the maid. She then went on. "She gave her instructions that if a red-headed woman arrives in a maid's uniform introducing herself as Ava she was to act casually for while and then kill her taking her off guard and that she will be heading to the airport as her flight is at 3:45".
"So she's at the airport right now?" asked Dean.
"Appears so although I didn't get a vision of her there since I can only see her interaction with this girl upon touching her but if you like I can speak to the spirits again to get find out more on more on where she will be and what she is doing right now" said Madame Bess.
Dean felt a bit embarrassed that neither he nor Sam bothered to ask Madame Bess to do that over the phone but they had so much on their mind and where were in a hurry when they asked her to come over to the hotel room and find out what Rowena told her little hexed henchwoman slave or whatever.
"Okay, we can go back to the house then and you can perform your séance or whatever" said Dean.
"What about her?" asked Ava as they all turned to look at the maid still tied up laying still looking quite calm. "We can't just untie, or she'll may attack us or alert someone" she continued.
"Your right, we can just leave her like this for someone else to find, by then we will all have been long gone. Once we capture Rowena we can get her to remove the spell" said Dean.
"Are you sure that's such a good idea?" asked Ava.
"Well that's the only thing we can do" Sam replied.
"Okay I guess" said Ava.
They all left the hotel room and took the elevator to the ground floor. Once on the ground floor, Ava headed back to the staff room where she snuck in unseen and changed back into her clothes while the others just stood around nearby watching if anybody passing along. Then Ava came out in her own clothes and soon they all exited the building into the parking lot. Dean, Sam and Ava went to the Impala, while Madame Bess went back to her car and soon she led them back to her house. When the group all got back to the house, they filled Gwen in on what was going on and then they all went into the dining room as Madame Bess and Gwen prepared the candles and then all of them sat in around the table with the lights turned off and Madame Bess began.
Everybody was perfectly quiet as Madame Bess insisted on total silence throughout séance or whatever but Dean, Sam and Ava tried to take this all in even though Dean and Sam had witnessed a séance before and have been told about Madame Bess's unique abilities but they never witnessed her actually doing it before now here they were going to see if she can communicate with the spirits who would tell her about Rowena's whereabouts. Just then, they all felt a gust of wind in the room and Madame Bess appeared to be suddenly in a trance. This went on for a about a few minutes and the three hunters watched in amazement while Gwen wasn't phased at all as she was used to all of this. When it was all over and Madame Bess was out of her trance she just looked all calm and collected like it was nothing.
"Well, did you see something I mean did the spirits tell you about Rowena?" asked Sam awkwardly.
Madame Bess just cleared her throat and looked at them.
"Yes, I as a matter fact, I saw in my visions this Rowena at the internationally airport. Then I saw more visions of her on the plane and then again with her using the book this time surrounded by a group of women in what looked like some kind of coven" she said.
Sam and Dean just quickly glared at each other than back at Madame Bess.
"Well, one thing is for sure we got to stop her from getting on that plane" said Dean.
"How?" asked Ava.
Dean then turned to Madame Bess again. "Tell us more about what you saw" he told her.
Sometime later that day, Rowena had arrived at the St. Paul International airport dressed up now in a long-sleeve blue turtleneck, ankle-length dress with a gray buttoned up sweater with, a black neck-length page boy hairdo wig. She was carrying a round leather duffle bag that was big enough for a few clothes, the Book of Damned and the codex. She had just been hiding out at the restaurant after she snuck out of the hotel without checking out since she just wanted to get away as fast as she could and soon she will be out of this state far away from those who are after her. She was quite clever she thought to herself as she remembered about the spell she put on the maid as a means to take care of her current problem. Even if they managed to stop that maid or even gank her, she will be long gone and if they tried to catch up with her again, she will have to deal with them again and this time make sure they're taken care of permanently. Rowena entered the building which was fairly crowded and went through all the process of a security check regarding herself and her duffle bag and purse.
After that was all done and she was directed to which gate to go to she decided to first head to the restroom since that martini drink she had affected her kidneys. She headed to the women's restroom and after using the toilet, she went the sink and started washing her hands. Then Rowena took the time to readjust her wig. By then, two other women who were in the restroom had left and she was alone. After fixing her wig, Rowena decided to readjust her lipstick too so she took out the red lipstick from her purse and used it on her lips. She heard the door open again but she didn't look up as she finished using the lipstick. "
Just fixing yourself up huh?" said a woman's voice.
Rowena turned to see Madame Bess now standing next to her at the sink.
"Uh yes" she answered her not understanding why this lady was so interested.
"Yeah, I came in to fix my makeup too, a lady should always look good no matter where she goes" Madame Bess said.
Rowena just gave a friendly smile and walk over to where the paper towels were to wipe her hands.
"So where are you headed?" Madame Bess asked.
"Oh just out west" said Rowena not in the mood to engage in conversation to this nosy old lady.
"Yeah, me too, I'm going to visit my granddaughter, you now it's been a while I saw her as I haven't traveled since well you know the blackout in the sky in all" said Madame Bess.
"Well, we can't let the blackness stop us from living" said Rowena.
"Yeah, I know, its' just scary in all, don't know what to expect. I say are you going on a vacation?" asked Madame asked her.
"Yes, you can say I'm going on vacation" replied Rowena getting annoyed with this lady already and after finishing wiping her hands she threw the paper towels in the wastebasket and then went to the sink to grab her purse and pick up her duffle bag and briefly turned to Madame Bess.
"Well, nice talking to you now have a nice day" she told her and headed for the door. "Oh by the way, I know who you are Rowena" Madame Bess cried out and Rowena then turned around to face her realizing this woman's presence wasn't a coincidence.
She even wondered if she was one of her son's goons she sent after her.
"Oh do you?" Rowena replied slyly not a bit afraid.
Madame Bess just glared back fearlessly looking all calm.
"Yes dear, you're someone who has evil in you, who will do evil and cause harm and destruction if you are not stopped" Madame Bess replied back sternly.
"Is that so?" asked Rowena smirking now.
"That is so" said Madame Bess.
"And who do you suppose is going to stop me luv, you?" asked Rowena as she slowly walked towards her and stopped.
"I won't be the one to stop you dear" said Madame Bess.
"But I will" said another woman's voice behind her and before Rowena could turn around she was quickly grabbed from behind, the back of her hair lifted and a syringe needle struck into the back of her neck for a few seconds. When Rowena was released she turned to realize it was Ava and she looked stunned.
"You!" she cried out.
"Yeah that's right bitch, you thought you had gotten rid of me when you sicced your henchwoman after me. Well we took care of her by the way, you can say she is a little tied up" said Ava sarcastically.
"What did you give me!" cried out Rowena rubbing the back of her neck.
"Something that will make sure you won't be any trouble, from what I know you witches are still vulnerable to things like drugs just like we normal humans" said Rowena.
"Oh you bet I can still be trouble deary!" cried Rowena.
"Well I had feeling about that that's why I took more precaution" cried Ava.
Then just as Rowena raised her hand to attack, Ava quickly pulled out a tiny spray bottle from her purse and squirted some liquid in her eyes. Rowena quickly covered her eyes with her hands as she was unable to see clearly and Ava quickly stepped away from Rowena keeping out of her way and walking near the bathroom stalls. Rowena continued to cover her eyes still blinded by what Ava squirted in her eyes and went over to the sink to turning on the faucet again to splash water into her them hoping to wash it all out. It took about a several seconds for Rowena to finish as she was finally able to open her eyes again although she was still blinking quite a bit.
"Oh, I don't know what the hell was that but I swear I will make you pay!" she said very angrily.
But then she suddenly started to feel the effects of the injection and became lightheaded and dizzy and the feeling started getting stronger by the second.
"What's wrong sister, not feeling too well?" asked Ava with a smirk.
Rowena struggled to compose herself but the effects were getting stronger and she started to stumble and she was about to raise her hand to use her magic when Madame Bess reached out and grabbed her.
"That will do dear, I'm afraid you're caught" she told her.
Rowena tried to struggle from her grasp when Ava walked up and grabbed a hold of her too making sure she can't use any of her magic as Sam and Dean had warned them about her magic tricks with her arms. Several more seconds passed and soon and they heard someone struggling to open the door as Ava had locked the door when she snuck into the restroom without Rowena seeing and used the tranquilizer on her. Both women felt proud of their job well done with Madame Bess to distract Rowena so Ava could inject her since using the iron chains wouldn't be an option at the airport since it would be detected at the security check besides they couldn't use them in front of a large crowd as they would be noticed and the needed to make sure Rowena wouldn't cause a scene so drugging her was the only option from what they researched, witches are still humans who can be susceptible to some of the things that includes illness, drugs, physical harm etc although many witches cast spells to protect themselves death and Rowena is a powerful immortal witch, they didn't think that she could be immune and they knew exactly where she would be and at what time from Madame Bess's visions of seeing Rowena in the restroom and checking her watch for the time. The plan was perfect.
"Okay, time to find the boys" said Ava as each woman took a hold of Rowena's arm who by now half away still dizzy and stumbling.
They walked to the door and Ava unlocked it and when she opened the door, there was a group of women standing at the doorway all looking curious as the two women clutched a drugged out Rowena.
"Oh, our friend here is having one of her dizzy spells again" said Ava to the group.
"Yes, we are going to have to call the doctor again, let's just get her in the car quickly excuse us please" said Madame Bess both acting like concerned friends.
Then they dragged Rowena away from the group of women still looking confused. When Dean and Sam who had been standing nearby saw them they rushed up to them.
"Wow, finally caught her" said Dean looking quite impressed.
"Yeah, you can say we caught ourselves a witch" said Ava sarcastically.
Rowena tried to murmur something but her words were slurred.
"Oh what, what is that you're saying I can't understand" said Dean in a mocking tone.
Then he just got up in her face. "Long time no see sweetie, we got some unfinished business to discuss, and we made sure you wouldn't be a problem" he said slyly.
Sam looked around and noticed some people who passed them by glance their way and was worried out anyone getting too suspicious.
"Hey guys lets get out of here quickly some people are starting to stare" he said. "
Let's go" said Dean.
With that Dean grabbed hold of Rowena and had her lean on him as they walked Rowena out of the building with Ava carrying her duffle bag. There was a security guard walking nearby and Rowena still half awake glanced his way and started to murmur something but when the guard turned their way Dean did some quick thinking and turned Rowena to face him and kissed her as if they were lovers. Rowena tried to pull away but she was too weak and to the guard it looked like they were lovebirds kissing so he just turned away and kept on walking. Then after he was out of sight, Dean quickly pulled Rowena off.
"That was quick thinking" said Ava hiding the fact she was a bit jealous.
"Yeah, but now let's hurry out of here, not interested and sucking more face with the wicked witch here".
With Dean's arms around Rowena and her leaning up on him, he continued to walk her away heading for the main entrance of the airport with the others following along and soon they were out the door without any incident. In no time, they headed out into the parking lot where Ava's van was as they didn't take the Impala for this mission. Ava opened the van and they pushed Rowena inside as Ava got into the driver's seat with Dean in the passenger seat and Sam and Madame Bess in the back with Rowena and soon they drove off out of the parking lot. Rowena had passed out by this time so they quickly put the iron chains on her attaching the shackles around her wrists just for precaution even though she wouldn't be waking up at least during the ride.
"So what is the next plan?" asked Ava not taking her eye off the wheel.
"Well we stick to the plan to get her back to the house and ask her about how the book and it there is spell to use to that will defeat the Darkness" said Dean.
Sam had searched through Rowena's duffle bag and found the Book of the Dammed and the codex as Madame Bess looked on amazed. As she touched the book she got an uncomfortable feeling.
"This book is evil and causes nothing but destruction" she said.
Sam took the book from her. "Yes, I know that but if we can use this book to help stop Darkness that it is worth a try" he told her.
But Madame Bess still didn't look to happy. "
Hey, don't worry about ma'am, we will discuss all of this when we bet back to the house, the important thing is that we that book out of Rowena's clutches before she can do more damage by using it, which I'm sure she has done plenty already" said Dean.
They all were silent during the rest of their ride as they were all thinking about the Book of Damned and if there is a possibly chance it could be used to defeat the Darkness or destroy it once and for all.
Just wanted to say other than writing new chapters and posting them I have also been going back and making some corrections of grammar and punctuation and making some changes in the dialogue on previous chapters to improve them and I will be doing this with more previous chapters. I will also love to hear some more feedback regarding the stories. Thanks again.
