Thank you everyone for the reviews. I am glad you all like Patrick. Your reviews, it really motivates me to continue. :)
Rowena sat on the bed in the guest room and stared at a picture. Her finger trails along the curly ginger locks of the little boy in the painting. The witch held back a sob and lowers her head into her hands. Michael is right she was a bad mother. She couldn't love Fergus because love was a weakness. Last time she fell in love it was with a man called Timothy. They both planned to move to America together and start fresh. Months later she waited and waited until one day she found out he was married and had his life with his wife all planned out. A life that did not include Rowena. That was the day Rowena's heart turn to ice and when little Fergus was born she decided to hate him. She couldn't love her son because all she saw was Timothy. It hurt, it really hurt the witch. For the rest of her life she only focused on getting stronger and become the witch just like her mother.
Dear mother bless her soul. Rowena thought with a sigh.
She looks sadly at the painting. She wished she could talk to her son. Tell him that she loves him. Billie is not going to make that happen. Death made it very clear that what's dead stays dead.
Rowena puts the painting in her bag where no one can see it and stands up. What's happened has happened she kept telling herself. She has herself to focus on and the Winchesters she had to make sure they are okay as well. Those boys did have a place in her heart. She can see now why her son liked them. The Winchesters do grow on you and Cas and Jack are adorable.
Michael, Rowena hoped the curse will wear off soon so Sam can calm down, Dean could come back and Patrick can get the Hell out of here.
This bunker was not big enough for the both of them. She is the Winchesters witch she is the one they call for help not Patrick. She cringed. God is she actually feeling jealous? She quickly shakes her head and leaves the room. She walks into the room and finds Sam and Patrick sitting at the table.
Patrick kept nodding as Sam spoke.
"Will it work?" Sam asks his eyes hopeful.
Patrick let out a hum and shifts in his seat. He grins at the hunter's frustrated expression. Patrick wanted to build the tension he does it a lot in his games.
"No." Patrick smiled.
"Why!" Sam waves his hands "Why would it not work?"
"Same reason as my spell. Use the spell to make Dean into an adult. Then the original spell will wear off and Dean will be old. "
"We can do it again and he becomes his normal age."
"Maybe but..." Patrick grits his teeth. "There would be confusion. The spell will think he is actually old. So you do the spell he will become a kid, do it again he will become old. Kid, old, kid, old. It is not going to turn him into his actual age. This is why I do not recommend that you combine spells. It causes you could say a bad reaction. Its like someone being allergic to nuts. It is not pretty."
Sam stands up and minutes later he comes back with a pile of books. He places it in front of the Irish witch.
"What are these?" Patrick asks.
"Spell books. I want you to look through them."
Patrick sighs.
"Sam you really got to accept there is no way..."
"Read." Sam cuts him off.
Patrick sighs.
"Alright."
He raises his cuffs.
"Not coming off." Sam says.
"You expect me to read with these on."
"Yes."
"I like to be comfortable.
"Or more like so you can try to escape." Sam shakes his head. "Not happening."
"What is she doing?"
"Rowena. She is going to help. Right Rowena?"
"Uh I am..."
"Come and sit next to me Ro." Patrick taps the seat with his boot. "Plenty of room."
"Keeps her away from the dungeon." Sam says his voice low only wanting Rowena to hear.
Rowena swallows. Yeah Sam is very pissed at her for letting Michael out.
"Next time he is on the floor you can deal with him." She says as she goes and sits down near the other witch.
She grabs a book and flips it open. She has read these many times and she knows there is no answer in here. She had to keep the hunter happy.
"Does she get the cuffs?" Patrick asks.
Sam turns away and goes to his bedroom. Rowena smirks at Patrick's sigh. She then scrolls through the writing.
"You're son is dead."
"Aye." Rowena replies keeping her eyes on the book.
"Sorry for your loss."
Rowena scoffs.
"Not. We both know you don't care."
"He was the King of Hell right?" Then Patrick nods. The news went round that Rowena's son is Crowley the King of Hell. His face goes curious. "How did he die?"
"None of your business."
"You both ended on a bad note according to Michael."
"Michael needs to learn to keep his wee mouth shut."
"Kids. They don't shut up."
He turns a page and scans through.
"Lia must be worried about you." Rowena says.
"Lia is dead." He puts bluntly.
"Oh..." Rowena shakes her head. "I'm sorry I did not know."
"It was a long time ago. I'm over it."
Rowena knew that was a lie. Patrick loved that woman. Patrick and Lia were the top couple alongside the Starks. Her death must have hit him badly.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Rowena says.
"Not." Patrick raises his eyebrow. "We both know you do not care."
Rowena rolls her eyes and looks back down at the book. That's the end of that discussion. Witches are not into chic flick moments. These two are not exactly friends.
Rowena hoped Patrick will get out once all this is over.
"There is a growing spell. Won't affect the age but it will put him back to his original height."
"He will be a giant bloody baby."
"Like that movie." Patrick grins. "What's it called?"
"Oh." Rowena snaps her fingers a few times. "It was a sequel."
"Yeah yeah. It was Honey something..."
"Honey I Blew up The Kid."
"That's it. I would give you a high five." He raises his hands showing off his cuffs. "Sam got me on lock down."
"That puppy eye look from you is not going to convince me to remove the cuffs."
"Oh Ro."
"I'm saving my ass Pat." Patrick turns the pages. Rowena suddenly frowns. "Um Patrick."
"Hmm."
"Both of us knowing that movie, that's disturbing."
Patrick paused. He suddenly went uncomfortable.
"It is." He looks at Rowena. "Forget that conversation ever happened."
"It's wiped from my mind."
The two witches continue reading. Patrick's eyebrows suddenly raise.
"Dean is asleep right?" He asks.
"Aye." Patrick turns the book round towards her. Rowena looks at it. Her eyes widen. "Are you sure that will work?"
"It's worth a try. Go and get Sam."
Rowena goes off and a minute later she comes back with Sam by her side.
"What did you find?" Sam asks.
Patrick smiles.
"I think I can wake your brother up."
I got the information about Rowena's back story from a story called Exodus by ElegantCora. I would definitely recommend it. It's one of the best Rowena stories.
Next chapter coming soon.
