Chapter Two
Copyright- Only in my wildest dreams would I own all four of these boys...unfortunately real life is lame and I don't own any of this!
Dean, Sam and Bobby sat around the kitchen, trying to figure out what their next move would be.
"Well, one good thing that came out of the last few days is that we know that magic can slow them down," Bobby said.
"Well let's just add 'finding a witch' to our list," Dean snapped.
"Hey son, I'm just starting off with the positives, because the negatives are sure as hell gonna be a long list." Bobby looked straight at Dean who nodded back, his non-verbal way of an apology.
"So cleaning products, knocking off their heads and a little hocus pocus does the trick," Dean looked like he just wanted all this to end. We seemed to be getting nowhere with the leviathans and people were dying.
"Sam you were checking the news before, what is happening out there?" Bobby asked me.
I looked back to computer screen in front of me and at the amount of suspicious deaths and events I had been alerted to. I was about to start telling them the long list when a woman appeared behind Bobby.
Movement in the room happened so quickly. Dean and I were facing Bobby so we saw the woman first. Dean grabbed one of the guns of the table while I took my knife out of my boot. Bobby jumped out of his chair, grabbed a gun and stood next to me in one swift movement.
"Who are you?" demanded Dean, his gun not wavering.
The woman would have been in her mid-forties and didn't look the least bit concerned with two guns and a knife pointed at her.
"Lower your weapons, they will not work on me," she said calmly. No one moved.
"I said who are you?" Dean practically growled this time.
"I am Alice, an old friend of Castiel's," When she said his name, a brief look of emotion showed in her face.
"Castiel is dead," I said to her.
"I know, but he was fond of you Winchesters so I have come to give you information that will help you," she walked towards the kitchen table and took a seat.
The three of us still had our weapons pointed at her.
"Put your weapons down and take a seat; I am trying to help you. Take it or leave it,"
I looked at Dean and Bobby to see if they thought she was sincere. Bobby lowered his gun first and made his move to sit opposite her at the table. I followed suit and Dean reluctantly put down his weapon and we both sat on either side of Bobby.
"So spill," Bobby demanded. I focused my gaze on Alice and took in her appearance; she was in an all-white two piece business suit with her blond hair pulled back in a tight bun. She didn't look like she wielded a lot of power, but looks can obviously be deceiving.
"The Leviathans are destroying everything, and you alone are not enough to stop them," She said this so matter-a-fact that I was a bit insulted.
"Bottom line is that you are only mortals and guns, salt and knives are useless in this case," Alice continued.
"So I'm guessing that out of everyone in the universe, you have the solution on how to beat them," sarcasm dripped from Dean's voice.
Alice gave a look to Dean, "I'm trying to help you and this world," she said.
"We wouldn't need help if you lot hadn't brought your war to us," Dean looked like he wanted to pick up his gun and use her for target practise.
"I have kept my noise out of everything that has happened on earth, but I found out some information that will swing this battle in your favour," I started to believe that she might actually have the answer.
"You have already discovered that the Leviathans a harmed by magic, something that they did not want known to you. However you have only access to mediocre witches, ones that can do parlour tricks and so forth," I found myself learning forward as she continued.
"But there is magic out there that even the Leviathans are wary of and do not want to come face to face with until their numbers grow," Alice looked at us all, happy that she now had our attention.
"Have you ever heard of the Charmed Ones?" She asked us.
I glanced sideways to Bobby and Dean but they had no idea who these Charmed Ones were either.
"They are three sisters and legend tells us that they are the most powerful witches in history," she informed us.
"If they are the most powerful witches in history, how come we have never heard of them before?" Bobby pointed out.
"Because there are two distinct supernatural worlds; there is this one, where demons have to possess vessels and hunters destroy them, and then there is the world where demons have taken a vessel and over time their demonic nature has changed the appearances of the human." Alice took a breath and continued.
"In a way the human body and demonic spirit has merged. The demon has spent such a long time in the same vessel that the physicality of the body changed demonic. And while these demons don't have hunters, they do have other magical beings after them, namely the good witches." Alice looked at us, trying to determine whether we were taking all this in or not.
"So let me get this straight, there are the demons that we kill and then there is a completely different type of demons that these Charmed Ones fight?" I said, trying to get my head around it all.
"Yes exactly. These demons also have very different powers." Alice was looking at me as she explained this.
"Why haven't we ever encountered them before?" Dean asked.
"Because these demons gain power by consuming a magical beings life force and power, and since hunters don't have powers, you are of no interest to them." Alice said. I could tell she was getting annoyed at our interruptions.
"So these demons are still the same as the ones from hell, but they don't interact with each other or impose on each other's territory. Now getting back to the Charmed Ones," Alice hadn't moved a muscle since she sat down but I just wanted to stand up and pace the kitchen while I tried to process all this new information.
"The Charmed Ones are three sisters each with magical powers, demons have hunted them and feared them, but for the last 23 years a truce of sorts has been put into place in their world."
"Peace with demons?" Dean scoffed, "how is that possible?"
"First I must tell you that just as there is a different type of demon in their world, there is also a different type of angel," Alice stared to explain but Dean cut her off.
"You gotta be kidding me," Alice shot him a sharp look but continued.
"The angels, known as Whitelighters, are humans that have become angels. God appointed them to watch over and instruct magical beings, since they can and know how to interact with humanity."
"So a Whitelighter was sent to watch over and look after the sisters and he and one of the sisters fell in love,"
I heard Dean try to muffle a laugh.
"Okay lady, this is starting to sound a little bit too fairytaleish even for me," Bobby rubbed his temples.
"The Whitelighter and witch fell in love and to make a very long story short they had children," Alice just decided to ignore us and continue with her story, even though we were looking at her in disbelief.
"The sons of the Charmed One and the Whitelighter are the ones that the Leviathans are wary of," Alice continued.
"The brothers, Wyatt and Chris are feared in the magical world because of the magic they have. Some would say that they hold too much power," by the tone and look of Alice's face, she was one who thought they were too powerful.
"So, you want us to just knock and their door and say, 'Hey we need you to kill some demons, can you cast a spell or wave your wand for us," Dean said.
"How can we even trust them," I asked Alice. She looked at me.
''They are inherently good and strive for a normal world without demons, so they will help if asked nicely," she added with a look at Dean.
"So how do we find them?" Bobby asked.
"Tomorrow midday they will be here, any other questions you have; they will be better equipped to answer." Alice stood up and moved away from the table.
"Wait, you're not even going to tell us anything to prepare for them. A weakness or something in case they turn crazy," I asked as I stood up and followed her to the living room.
Dean and Bobby were on my heels. How can she just come in here and tell us that there were witches out there that were a match for the Leviathans and not tell us how to beat them if they go all rogue.
Alice had her back to us and breathed deeply before she turned to face us.
"They have very few weaknesses, there greatest however is their love of family, something I'm sure you all share," Alice looked at us intently.
"The Charmed Sons are the only way to beat the Leviathans. Work together and trust each other," with that final piece of advice, Alice disappeared as quickly as she had arrived.
"Well, that was a new development," Bobby commented.
