"I am afraid we will have to postpone our wedding, my dear. I have to go away for a while; business." Spencer said packing things up in a suitcase that was on his desk.
"I went shopping and got all of these clothes for you. So you're telling me that I have to wait now?"
"Yeah." He smiled. "I see how devastated you are about this. It's a good thing I am leaving for a while it will give you time to finish this little desire you have for guys other than me. Good luck with that by the way." He chuckled.
"Why would I need luck?" I asked sitting in the chair next his suitcase.
"Well that ring I gave you has powers that I have enhanced with my own. You will never get it off and I believe you have figured out what it does. Funny though because you haven't figured out all it can do." He said latching his suitcase. "Get some rest, sweetheart. I will be back in a couple days and we will resume this little game of cat and mouse. This time you will be the cat and I will be the mouse." He whispered kissing me on the lips. "Beauty." He said picking up his suitcase, pushed the button on the wall and left.
"Time for bed." Greg said grabbing me by the arm and jerking me to the sleeping corridors. He threw me in and slammed the door and it went dark. The only light was coming from the moon that was shining through the window.
"Angel is that you?" Alan whispered in the dark.
"Yes." I said looking around trying to find where his voice was coming from. I turned around and saw Alan standing in the glow of the moon. His skin was glowing a light blue color and his eyes had a slight tint of blue as well.
"Oh thank god!" He said running to me and put his arms around me. "Ugh!" He groaned but still held onto me. "I looked all over the castle for you. I thought something horrible happened to you." He said smiling slightly pulling away from me.
"What's that?" I questioned grabbing his right arm and I felt him wince.
"That? It's nothing." He said pulling his arm away from me and put it behind his back.
"Alan, where did you get that?" I said going for the arm again
"I'm fine." He said stopping me with his other hand. "The real question is where you were and where in the world did you get that dress?" He asked dropping his hand down to my dress and rubbing the material in between his fingers. "Silk. Now I know that isn't our day clothes."
"Well if you must know Spencer ordered one of the guards to take me shopping." I said grabbing the dress out of his hand. "Now where did that cut come from?" I questioned in a stern voice.
"When I said I looked all over the castle for you I meant all over the castle. In my search I found a secret door that led to this room I had never seen before. A man was there sitting in a chair, sharpening a knife. He said, 'I have been expected you Alan.' I didn't understand why he was waiting for me; when I started to approach him he jumped out of his chair and stabbed my arm.
"Alan I told you, you weren't safe around me. This ring it has incredible power and Spencer keeps tabs on me, more than he does with anybody else. I know why he was waiting for you."
"I do too. He didn't necessarily make it a secret. I found out, everything."
"I'm sorry Alan but you knew the risks you were taking. You have feelings for me but that's not enough; you have to be willing to fight."
"What do you mean, for you? I did with Spencer in his office."
"No for our freedom but for this to work every one of us has to rise against Spencer and whoever else he might send to fight for him. This isn't going to be easy but it will be worth it."
"I don't know…" Alan said trailing off.
"Listen to me. Without this I will be forced to marry Spencer and you know it. If that happens believe me that you will find me dead. I will not live a life I didn't choose!"
"You didn't choose this one. That's what I have been trying to tell you Rikki, you can't change what is no matter how hard you try. I tried to fight for you and look where it got me." He said pointing to his injured arm.
"So I guess that's it, you are just going to give up?"
"Looks like it." Alan sighed walking back to his bunk.
"You are a coward!" I shouted to him and left out of the sleeping corridors.
"What do you think you are doing?" Questioned a deep voice from behind me.
"I'm sorry I was just-" I cut off turning around. "Dean!" I shouted punching him on the shoulder. "Don't scare me like that!"
"Sorry." He chuckled. "What's wrong?"
"Alan won't stand with me in trying to take Spencer down."
"What a coward." Dean laughed again.
"That's what I said." I sighed sliding down the stone wall and sat down on the floor. "Can I ask you something?"
"Anything and I will answer it to the best of my ability." He smiled sitting next to me on the ground.
"Have you had sex with my mother?"
"What kind of a quest-"
"Just answer the question." I said cutting him off.
"Yeah I did."
"You have had sex with my mother and you are going after me? That's sick almost like incest. You could have been my dad."
"Yeah well I'm not." He said in a stern voice.
"You wanted to be though. What you wouldn't give to have the life that my father has."
"I don't think so. Your dad has to live every day without you; his daughter. You can't really think I would want something like that. Yes I had sex with Bay but that was a long time ago."
"You want her daughter; you want me. I want to know how you met my mother and how you fell for her."
"No, I will not open that part of my life again." He said getting up off the floor.
"You said you would answer my questions to the best of your ability!" I shouted.
"Yes but there is a reason I don't want to open that part of my life again. I am a black-winged horse and that whole time before I rebelled against it to be with your mother. I was ordered to kill her; I was told about you and how you couldn't be born. I didn't believe them because I had it my head that I would be the one to end up with her. I loved her so much, Rikki and in all honesty I was ordered to kill you too; if I couldn't save you from going to the dark side and becoming who you really are." He said looking me in the eyes. "Dragons aren't supposed to exist anymore; you guys were supposed to die out centuries ago. You guys are in textbooks; the legends of what you are and what you can do. You can't control yourselves; Spencer and the council can convince themselves that they are strong enough to keep you and your species at bay but they can't. It will all end in a blood bath with no survivors."
"So why are you here?" I said tearing up. "Are you here to gain trust from everybody so in the end you can call your winged horse friends and kill us all? You don't want any of us to be free; you have been lying to me, to my mother. You had us trust you."
"How can you trust me? You just met me."
"You took me to see my family that I haven't seen in four years. You told me things and treated me like an equal. Was it all a lie? Your feelings for my mom, for me?"
"No, believe me all the feelings were real. I tried to run from them. They just kept pulling me back and then I would rebel some more. I was tired of fighting so I just let them take me back and all I had to do to keep my head off the chopping block was to obtain what they wanted." He whispered. "You." He said cupping his right hand around my neck.
My throat was so dry I could feel it rubbing together. I felt a oozing feeling coming from my head and I was all groggy. "Where am I?" I asked in a husky voice.
"You are where I can protect you." Dean's voice said somewhat in the distance.
"I don't understand."
"Yes The Warriors of Mist want you but I am not going to let them have you. Another member's house is the last place they would look. You are one big prize Rikki." Dean said giving me a glass of water and sitting next to me.
"Why?" I asked still trying to wrap my brain around everything that had happened in the past five minutes.
"I don't know. All I know is the council and my boss want to get their hands on you. They will stop at nothing to do so. I'm trying to figure out as much as I can but I can't do it alone; I need to call my brother to help out. He knows more about this stuff than I could ever understand. He fled from the warriors centuries ago and nobody can find him."
"Then how do you expect to do so?"
"I don't know but it's the only way that you will be completely safe. He has powers and the other warriors are afraid of him so they kept him in the dark. The day he found out about his powers they tried to kill him. I was restrained so I couldn't help him fight the other warriors. He knocked most of them unconscious and made a run for it."
"That must have been an eventful day. Why do you want to protect me?"
"The same reason why I wanted to protect your mother. Us warriors aren't supposed to have feelings. We were born without them and once one warrior started to experience them we started dropping like flies. A couple of us would drop every decade and become a slave to these things you call feelings. I started about two decades ago when I fell in love with Layla she was pure and she promised she would change the world for me. We have enemies too believe it or not. Feelings are our weakness once we experience them we can't shake the pull on our hearts that they produce. There used to be hundreds of us but now there are only twenty."
"So you aren't even part of the Warriors of Mist anymore are you?"
"I am but that's only because I let them take me over. After that I wasn't myself anymore but then you came along and turned it all upside down. The day you were born."
"What happened when I was born, Dean?" I asked looking at him.
"Every warrior has a family they must protect. I have been protecting your family for years but I went off the path when I fell for Layla. I was supposed to be protecting your great grandmother and your great grandfather. I didn't do it and that's why your great grandfather was killed by dragons. The funny thing is your dear old dad killed him and your mother found that out five or six years ago. I couldn't stop it and I am sorry. Your whole family was cursed after that your children and your children's children will have to be the one to rise against everything. There will be a war." Dean said getting up and walking to the door. "I will start to go find my brother."
"And what am I supposed to do until then?" I asked getting up only to be pulled back by something around my left ankle. I fell back to the ground. "Ow." I groaned looking at my leg to see what pulled me down. I saw a chain wrapped around my leg. "What the hell?"
"It's for protection." He said leaving me in the room by myself.
I don't own Supernatural, Dean or Sam but everything else you do not recognize from the show is mine.
