A/N: Sorry forgot to add this when I posted the chapter. Sorry for the long wait, but with school and work, my life is pretty hectic. So I hope you enjoy the chapter and as always read and review and maybe read again!
"What are you looking at?" Katie asked as she stepped out of the impala and noticed Dean gaze. He had a familiar glint in his eye that he shouldn't have since they were on a case.
"You just look very… different" Dean replied the corners of his mouth curving upwards. Katie could only imagine the thoughts going through his mind. She looked down at her outfit which was a black pencil skirt with matching curve fitting blazer and a white blouse underneath. "You're even wearing heels and you hate heels"
"Well I always feel so short when I stand next to you guys" Katie said looking down at her black heels. She looked back up at Dean who still was grinning at her.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining" Dean replied.
"We're working, so get the lust out of your eyes" Katie said slapping Dean on the arm playfully before walking behind Sam up the walkway of the house. Dean just watched the way Katie's skirt fit perfectly around her curves and just shook him head.
"Easier said than done Princess" he mumbled to himself. He quickly caught up to Sam and Katie as Sam rang the doorbell. A woman opened the door who from her puffy eyes, they could tell could be crying.
"Can I help you?" the woman asked.
"Yes Mrs. Wallace I'm Agent Harding and this is my partner Agent Redford" Sam said as he and Dean held up their badges. "And this is our Forensic specialist Ms. Ryan, we wanted to as you a couple questions, while she looks around a bit at the scene"
"I already told the cops everything" Mrs. Wallace replied.
"We're actually doing our own separate investigation ma'am" Dean said.
"We just want to make sure we cover everything thoroughly so we can figure out why this happened to your husband" Katie added. Mrs. Wallace nodded and moved aside to let them in. She led them to the kitchen where she found her husband on the floor bleeding to death from swallowing razor blades.
Mrs. Wallace took a seat at the table and Sam took the seat across from her, while Dean and Katie looked around.
"Now how many razor blades did they find?" Sam asked and Mrs. Wallace sighs. She is clearly near tears as she musters up the strength to speak.
"Two on the floor, one in his stomach and one was stuck in his throat. He swallowed four of them, how is that even possible?" Mrs. Wallace asked still unable to believe any of this was happening. She turns to see Dean looking around the stove and in the oven. "The candy was never in the oven."
"We just have to be thorough Mrs. Wallace." Dean replied.
"Did the police find any razors in the rest of the candy?" Sam asked trying to get Mrs. Wallace's attention back to him.
"No, I mean-" Mrs. Wallace said shaking her head " I don't think so." She looked back up at Sam. "I just- I can't believe it. You hear urban legends about this stuff, but it actually happens?"
"More than you might imagine." Sam replied.
Katie spotted something in the corner on the floor. She glanced over to see that Mrs. Wallace was still facing Sam when she kneeled down. When she realized what it was she quickly stood up and took a couple of steps back. She looked over at Dean and signaled him to come over and check it out. Dean kneeled over and picked up a hex bag. Katie takes a few more steps away as Dean lifts up the bag. He gives her a strange look before turning and showing Sam the bag, making sure Mrs. Wallace doesn't see it. Sam sighs and turns to Mrs. Wallace.
"Mrs. Wallace, did Luke have any enemies?" Sam asks and she is a bit confused by the question.
"Enemies?" She asks.
"Anyone who might have held a grudge against him?" Sam questions.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wallace asks still a bit confused. Dean turns from the conversation to see Katie staring warily at the hex bag. He notices her scratching the side of her neck. When she finally meets his gaze she quickly drops her hand.
"Are you suggesting an affair?" Mrs. Wallace says snapping Katie and Dean back to the conversation.
"Is it possible?" Sam asks.
"No! No, Luke would nev-" Mrs. Wallace snaps close to tears.
"I'm very sorry, we just have to consider all possibilities." Sam replies trying to calm the woman.
"If someone wanted to kill my husband don't you think they'd find a better way than a razor in a piece of candy he might eat?" Mrs. Wallace asks and Sam just looks over at Dean.
"Thank you Mrs. Wallace for your time" Katie says stepping forward. "We should be going" Katie says before walking past them all out of the kitchen and out of the house. Dean quirks an eye brow before giving Mrs. Wallace a nod and following Katie out.
"Thanks again" Sam says before leaving as well.
"Hey what's with you" Dean called running to catch up to Katie. She stopped when she was a few inches away from the car and turned to Dean.
"I'll explain when we get back to the motel" Katie said before turning and getting into the back seat of the car. Sam and Dean share a confused look before getting in as well.
After arriving and changing into their normal clothes Sam goes into research mode, while Dean and Katie look into Luke Wallace.
"So are you ever going to tell me what all that was back at Mrs. Wallace's house?" Dean asked as him and Katie pulled back into the parking lot of the motel.
"It's the hex bag" Katie said before getting out of the car. Dean got out as well and walked over to her. "Let's just say I've had bad experiences with them in the past"
"You want to tell me about it?" Dean asked.
"Not really, it's really embarrassing" Katie replied before turning and walking to their room.
"Oh now you have to tell me" Dean joked as Katie opened the door. Dean pulls a piece of candy from his pocket and tosses in his mouth as the come in.
"Really? After that guy choked down all those razor blades?" Sam asked looking over at Dean.
"It's Halloween, man." Dean replies. Katie notices the contents of the hex bag on the table and decides to go to the other side of the room and sit on one of the beds.
"Yeah, for us every day is Halloween." Sam replies and Dean sits on the arm of the couch and looks over what Sam has found.
"Don't be a downer, anything interesting?" Dean asks.
" Yeah" Sam says before looking over at Katie. "Well, we're on a witch hunt, that's for sure, but this isn't your typical hex bag." Dean looks over at Katie who looks back at them.
"Well isn't that just great" Katie replied. "What's in it?"
"Gold thread, an herb that's been extinct for two hundred years. And this-"Sam picks up a silver piece. "Is Celtic, and I don't mean some new age knock off. It looks like the real deal, like 600 years old real." Dean noticed a small charred item from the table and smells it.
"I wouldn't do that babe" Katie says. " I think that is the charred metacarpal bone of a newborn baby." Dean makes a disgusted face before placing the bone back on the table.
"Gross" Dean grimaces.
"Relax man, it's like, at least a hundred years old." Sam says.
"Oh, right, like that makes it better?" Dean says shaking his head. "Witches man, they're so friggin' skeevy." Dean says not thinking. He immediately looks up over at Katie. "I didn't mean-"
"I know what you mean Dean" Katie says before looking back at the contents on the table. "Some witches are very skeevy" Katie stands up and walks a little closer to the table, but still keeping a safe distance. "But I would say a very powerful one put this one together"
"Find anything on the victim?" Sam asked.
"This Luke Wallace?" Dean says. "He was so vanilla that he made vanilla seem spicy. "I can't find any reason why somebody would want this guy dead." Dean looked up to see Katie scratching the side of her neck like before. "What's with the scratching?"
"It's probably the bag" Katie replied. "I just didn't think it would have the same effects now that I don't have my powers"
"What do you mean?" Sam asked.
"Well simply put good witches and evil witches don't mesh well together and neither does their powers" Katie replied. "So just being near that" Katie pointed to the content of the bag. "Is having very uncomforting effects like the itching" Katie's hand moved to scratch her arm. "So I'm going to go outside until you guys put that stuff away" Sam and Dean watched as Katie walked out of their room still scratching her arm.
"That was weird" Sam said as he began gathering the contents of the hex bag.
"Yeah" Dean said mindless before taking out another piece of candy and tossing it in his mouth.
"Dude seriously" Sam said looking up at Dean.
"What?" Dean asked confused.
Katie sat on the railing outside of their room staring out in front of her. She noticed all of the Halloween decorations and scoffed. There was a time when she loved Halloween. When she was a girl she would think that people like her and Jason were the reason Halloween even existed. People would dress up as witches and they actually were them. Yeah she used to love Halloween until she found out that her theory was bit true. That the monsters and ghosts people dress up as really do exist, but they don't want candy. Katie fanned herself with her hand a bit, she was hot which was weird because it was October.
Later that night they got wind of another strange death. A teen girl drowned while bobbing for apples at a party.
"You're not coming in?" Dean asked Katie as they all sat in the impala outside the house where the latest victim was killed.
"No, you guys go ahead" Katie said look back at Dean. "I'll look around out here, maybe our witch will come for the show, you know"
"Ok well call us if you find anything" Dean replied. Katie just nodded and Sam and Dean got out of the car and headed into the house.
Katie lied. She didn't want to go in because she felt like crap. She was still unusually hot and now she'd gained this pain in the pit of her stomach. She got out of the car and hoped the fresh air would do her some good. Katie looked around at the flashing lights and the people standing outside of police tape trying to figure out what was happening. No one looked to suspicious, but the witch had to be close because she was feeling horrible. Katie leaned against the car and closed her eyes, trying to take deep breaths. Time must have slipped away from Katie because before she knows it a hand touches her shoulder. She looks up to see Dean staring back at her and she recognized the worry in his eyes.
"So did you find anything?" Katie asked. Dean doesn't answer, as he moves his hand to the side of Katie's face.
"You're burning up" Dean states.
"I'm fine, she's just trying to get to me" Katie replied.
"She wait, the witch is doing this to you?" Dean asks. "How does she even know you're here?"
"The same way I know she's here" Katie replies. "She can feel me, just like I can feel her. Only difference is, I don't have any powers to retaliate. So did you find anything?"
"Yeah another hex bag" Dean replied. "We should get you back to the motel" Dean helped Katie back into her seat before tossing Sam the keys and sliding in next to her.
Later back in the motel Dean sits at the table while looking on the laptop, while Sam is intently reading some books on his bed. Dean looks over at the other bed where Katie is sitting reading some books as well. Dean tried to get her to sleep, but refused and insisted she help.
"I'm telling you, both these vics are squeaky clean. There is no reason for a wicked bitch payback." Dean said, and both Katie and Sam looked over at him.
"Maybe cause it's not about that." Sam replied. Dean looked at him confused.
"Wow, insightful." Dean replies.
"I think he means there is a different reason for the killing" Katie replies. "Maybe it's part of some spell"
"Yeah I think I may have found it" Sam said standing up and walking over to the table. Katie stood and walked over as well. "Check this out. Three blood sacrifices over three days, the last before midnight on the final day of the final harvest. Celtic Calendar, the final day of the final harvest is October 31st."
"Halloween." Dean says looking at the book.
"Exactly." Sam replies.
"Aw Hell" Katie says and both men turn toward her. " Does the book say something about a demon named Samhain?" Sam nods a yes. "Damn it"
"Wait who is this Samhain?" Dean asks.
"Well you see all those people dressing up as monsters and ghosts and what not?" Katie asked. "Well this demon is the reason"
"Samhain is the damn origin of Halloween. The Celts believe that October 31st was the one night of the year when the veil was the thinnest between the living and the dead, and it was Samhain's night." Sam added. " I mean, masks were put on to hide from him, sweets left on doorsteps to appease him, faces carved into pumpkins to worship him. He was exorcised centuries ago."
"So even though Samhain took a trip downstairs the tradition stuck?" Dean asked.
"Exactly, only now instead of demons and blood orgy's Halloween is all about kids, candy and costumes." Katie replied.
"Okay, so some witch wants to raise Samhain and take back the night?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, but it's more serious than that" Katie replies. "Samhain isn't just some ordinary demon. Once he's back, he's gonna want to bring some friends along for some fun"
"Once he's raised, Samhain can do some raising of his own." Sam says.
"Raising what, exactly?" Dean asks.
"Dark, evil crap and lots of it, I mean, they follow him around like the friggin' Pied Piper." Sam replies.
"So we're talking ghosts." Dean says and Katie and Sam just nod a yes. "Zombies?" They nod again. "Leprechauns?" and both Katie and Sam look at him confused. "What those little dudes are scary. Small hands."
"It just starts with ghosts and ghouls, this sucker keeps on going, by night's end we are talking every awful thing we have ever seen. Everything we fight, all in one place." Katie said and Sam and Dean think of just horrible that could be.
"It's gonna be a slaughterhouse." Dean says.
"It's gonna be more than that" Katie says under her breath as she finally realized what the raising of Samhain could really do.
The next day Dean pulls on his jacket, to got stake out Mrs. Wallace's house. They hope that they'll catch the witch coming back to the scene. Before he leaves he looks over at Katie who's still sleeping.
"She's usually up by now" Sam says looking over at his brother.
"I know" Dean says placing the back of his hand to Katie's forehead. "She's still pretty warm. Look call me when she wakes up ok?" Sam nods. Dean moves some hair from Katie's face before placing a kiss on her forehead, before standing up and leaving.
After a while Katie's eyes finally fluttered open. She sat up from the bed to see Sam sitting on his laptop talking on his cell. She looked around the room and didn't see Dean. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and tried to stand to her feet, a task usually simple was now proving very difficult. Somehow gravity increased or something because as soon as Katie stepped from the bed she was crashing to the floor.
"Katie!" Sam called dropping his phone and was kneeling in front of her. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm good" Katie said as Sam helped her to her feet. Sam still looked worried, not letting go. "Really Sam I'm fine, just got a bit dizzy" Sam pulled his hand away still keeping an eye on Katie. "Where's Dean?"
"Crap" Sam said going back over to his phone. He quickly pulled the phone away from his ear at his brother's yelling. "Dean- Dean listen" Sam tried to talk but Dean wouldn't let him get to words in. "She's fine-" Sam felt his phone being grabbed from his hand and looked up to see Katie putting it to her ear.
"Dean, chill I'm fine I just fell" Katie yelled over his yelling. "No you don't have to rush back here, just finish what you're doing, if it helps find this witch, it will help me" Dean still wasn't listening to her. She shook her head and handed the phone back to Sam. "Hopeless" she said. Sam put the phone to his ear just in time to hear the phone click. Sam hung up the phone and sat it on the table.
"So he's on his way" Sam stated.
"Yep, I hope he's not leaving too soon" Katie replied looking over at Sam.
"I think he did find something" Sam replied. "Before you fell he told me that the cheerleader, Tracey just happens to be the Wallace's babysitter"
"High school cheerleader?" Katie asked. "That's a weird look for someone that old"
"Yeah" Sam replied. "So I guess we make sure. I'm going to see what I can find on our cheerleader" Sam turned back to his laptop.
"Right" Katie said placing a hand over her stomach. "And I'm going to go to the bathroom to barf" Sam looked up to see Katie running to the bathroom. He shook his head and turned back to his laptop.
A couple minutes Dean rushed through the door and scanned the room. He looked over at Sam who just pointed to the bathroom. Dean walked over to the bathroom door and heard the shower running. He turned back to Sam and walked over.
"What the hell happened?" Dean asked.
"I don't know" Sam replied. "I was one the phone with you and I heard a thud and when I turned around she was on the floor. She said she just got dizzy." Dean took off his jacket and walked back over to the bathroom door. He grabbed the nob and walked in closing the door behind him. He walked over to the shower and pulled the curtain causing Katie to jump a little.
"Why did you do that?" Katie snapped tapping Dean on the shoulder.
"I was making sure you didn't fall again" Dean replied crossing his arms. "What happened?"
"I don't know I just tried to stand up and couldn't " Katie replied looking up at Dean. "But I'm fine now"
"So this witch is still trying to sink your battleship?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, and it seems she's throwing everything she's got too" Katie replied. "You'd think that since I haven't hit her back that she would stop." Katie grabbed her towel and wrapped it around herself and stepping out of the shower. "I don't see why she can even feel my presence, I mean I thought once my powers were gone, everything witch about me was gone too"
"What are you thinking?" Dean asked.
"I don't know" Katie said shaking her head. "It's just when I think I have everything figured out, something happens to prove that I don't" Dean wrapped his arms around Katie's waist and pulled her closer to him.
"We'll figure this out, together" Dean said before placing a kiss on Katie's forehead. She was still a bit warm and that just made him worry even more. They stayed in the hug for a while before Katie finally spoke.
"Dean" she said.
"Hmmm" he replied.
"I should probably get dressed now" Katie replied.
"Why?" Dean said pulling away, hands still around her waist. "I like the whole nothing but a towel look on you" he grinned down at her.
"I'm pretty sure Sam will like it too" Katie replied watching Dean's grin fall from his face.
"Yeah you should probably get dressed" Dean replied finally removing his arms and turning around. "I'm going to go fill in Sam about our cheerleader" Katie nodded before walking over to her bag. Dean glanced over at her one more time before finally leaving out, closing the door behind him.
As soon as Dean left Katie collapsed onto the toilet seat. She didn't want to worry Dean, but the whole standing thing was taking quite a bit out of her. Nothing was making any kind of sense. Her powers were taken, she wasn't a witch anymore, and well that's what she assumed. Katie had so many questions and no answers. Katie stood to her feet and finally gathered some strength to get dressed. When she finally came out of the bathroom both Sam and Dean looked over at her. She ignored their worried glances and walked over to her bag and put in her clothes.
"So, what's new?" Katie asked walking over to Sam and Dean. Dean was holding Sam's laptop on his lap.
"We're gonna go to Tracey's school, see if she's really our girl" Dean replied.
"Are we playing agents again, because I don't think I could do the heels again" Katie said.
"Actually I was thinking that maybe me and Sam go" Dean said before clearing his throat. "And you stay here and get some rest. I mean it seems the closer you two get to each other the worse it gets for you. I don't want to see what happens when you two get face to face"
"Oh" Katie replied. "That make sense. I'll stay here, maybe find a way to retaliate some way without using my powers"
"Or maybe you could take it easy?" Dean suggested.
"Take it easy?" Katie asked quirking an eyebrow. "I am confused by the words that you speak. What exactly do they mean?" She asked playfully. "I don't take it easy, I can't afford to. The day I take it easy everything goes to hell"
"I'm just saying" Dean replied.
"I know, and thank you but I'm good" Katie said "the soon we figure this out, the soon I will really feel better"
Once Sam and Dean were off Katie went straight into research mode, channeling her inner Sam. She found lots of stuff, but nothing that would do the witch any real harm. She knew the only way she could do that was with her powers. She'd had her head in a book for about an hour before the sound of fluttering wings caught her attention. She turned to see Castiel standing in front of her, but he wasn't alone.
"Castiel" Katie said standing to her feet. "Who's your friend?"
"Katie this is Uriel" Cas replied. Katie looked over at Uriel whose eyes seemed to look Katie over before turning and walking over by the window.
"Hello?" Katie said before turning back to Cas. "What are you two doing here?" Cas walked over to a wall in the hotel room. Katie watched curiously as he reached through the wall and pulled out a hex bag. She stepped back a bit. "She's been here? How?"
"She's very clever" Castiel replies walking over to the table by the bed and sitting the bag down. Suddenly they hear the door open as Sam and Dean enter.
"Cas" Dean said as he and Sam came in. "Who's he?" Dean asked looking over at Uriel.
"Oh that's Uriel, Castiel's angel friend" Katie replied. "Don't get him started though, a real talker" Uriel just ignored the comment and continued to stare out the window.
"Uh hey, I know we didn't really didn't talk last time" Sam said looking over at Cas. " But it is an honor to meet you"
"And I, you. Sam Winchester- " Castiel replied. "The boy with the demon blood." And Sam just nodded as yes. "Glad to see you've ceased your extracurricular activities."
"Let's keep it that way." Uriel says finally speaking, but never taking his eyes from the window.
"Yeah, okay, chuckles." Dean says before turning back to Castiel. "Who's your friend?"
"The raising of Samhain, have you stopped it? " Castiel asks disregarding Dean's question.
"Why?" Dean asks.
"Dean, have you located the witch?" Castiel asks a little more urgently.
"Yes, we've located the witch." Dean replies a bit confused.
"And is the witch dead?" Castiel asked.
"No, but-" Sam starts.
"We know who it is." Dean reassures.
"Apparently the witch knows who you are too." Castiel says walking over to the side of the table by the bed and picking up a hex bag. "This was inside the wall of your room. If we hadn't found it, surely one or both of you would be dead. Do you know where the witch is now?" Dean and Sam exchange a look.
"We're working on it." Katie says and Castiel turns to her.
"That's unfortunate." Castiel replies.
"What do you care?" Dean asked knowing something else was up.
"The raising of Samhain is one of the 66 seals." Castiel says before looking back at Katie.
"You knew about this?" Dean asked looking at Katie as well.
"Yes" Katie replied. "I didn't want to put too much pressure on you guys with this, plus we're so close that I was sure we'd find her soon anyways." Dean just turned away from her back to Castiel.
"So this is about your buddy Lucifer." Dean says.
"Lucifer is no friend of ours." Uriel says still staring out of the window.
"It's just an expression." Dean replied a bit annoyed.
"Lucifer cannot rise, the breaking of the seal must be prevented at all costs." Castiel says. Katie looked at him a bit confused. Something about what he just said seemed off.
"Okay, great, well now that you're here, why don't you tell us where the witch is" Dean replied as if the situation was just that simple. "we'll gank her and everybody goes home."
"We are not omniscient, this witch is very powerful, and she's cloaked even our methods." Castiel replies.
"Okay, well we already know who she is, so if we work together-"Sam says but is cut off by Uriel.
"Enough of this." Uriel speaks.
"Okay, who are you and why should I care?" Dean snaps and Uriel finally turns away from the window and faces Dean.
"This is Uriel, he's what you might call a…specialist." Castiel says as Uriel walks over to them .
"A special is in what?" Katie asks.
"You all of you-, you need to leave this town immediately." Castiel says evading the question.
"Why?" Katie snaps.
"Because we're about to destroy it." Castiel replies. Sam and Dean exchange a worried glance.
"Destroy it as in the entire town?" Katie asks in disbelief.
"We're out of time, this witch has to die, and the seal must be saved." Castiel informed. Katie couldn't believe that this was their idea.
"There are a thousand people here." Sam said
"One thousand two hundred fourteen." Uriel corrected him, though he didn't really seem to care.
"And you're willing to kill them all?" Sam asked.
"This isn't the first time I've…purified a city." Uriel replied.
"Purify?" Katie asked. "Really, I think you need to look that word up because you must be confused."
"Look, I understand this is regrettable." Castiel says.
"Regrettable?" Dean says.
"Castiel this is killing what was it?" Katie asked looking over at Uriel. "One thousand two hundred and fourteen men, women and children"
"We have to hold the line; too many seals have broken already." Castiel replied trying to justify their course of action.
"So you screw the pooch on some seals and this town has to pay the price?" Dean asks.
"It's the lives of one thousand against the lives of six billion, there's a bigger picture here." Castiel says.
"Right, cause you're bigger picture kind of guys." Dean says off-handedly.
"Lucifer cannot rise, he does and hell rises with him. Is that something that you're willing to risk?" Castiel asks.
"No, but we're also not about to leave this town while you two destroy oh I'm sorry purify this town" Katie snaps. "We'll fine the witch, before she breaks the seal and all will be well with the world for the time being."
"We're wasting time with these mud monkeys." Uriel says to Castiel.
"You know every time you speak, I like you less and less" Katie says taking a step toward Uriel. Castiel places a hand up in front of Katie stopping her, but not before Katie noticed the slight back step of Uriel.
"I'm sorry, but we have our orders." Castiel replies turning away from them.
"No, you can't do this, you're angels, I mean aren't you supposed to-" Sam said trying to understand. "You're supposed to show mercy."
"Says who?" Replied mockingly.
"We have no choice." Castiel replied.
"Of course you do" Katie said. "This plan isn't as black and white as you guys are making it out to be. Just don't kill all these people"
"Look, even if you can't understand it, have faith, the plan is just." Castiel tried to get them to understand, but it was not happening.
"How can you even say that?" Sam asked.
"Because it comes from heaven that makes it just." Castiel replied.
"Oh I've seen a lot that comes from heaven" Katie replied. "And it wasn't just." Katie walked over and stood in front of Castiel and Uriel. "You want to do this, then we're just gonna have to put a kink in your plans"
"You think you can stop us?" Uriel replies as if he's is disgusted with Katie's insinuation that she could. Dean notices the look and walks over to stand next to her.
"No, but if you're gonna smite this whole town, then you're gonna have to smite us with it, because we are not leaving." Dean says and a slight grin comes to his face. "See, you went to the trouble of busting me out of hell, I figure I'm worth something to the man upstairs. So you wanna waste me, go ahead, see how he digs that."
"And since I'm such an important commodity, with this great importance in the future, I doubt me dying will help you" Katie added folding her arms.
"I will drag you out of here myself. Uriel seethed.
"Oh that sounds like fun" Katie replied a smile on her face. "But that means you'd have to kill us, which brings back to the same problem. I mean you're about to wipe out an entire town because one little witch has emasculated you. Are you trying to compensate for something?"
"We can do this, we will find that witch and we will stop the summoning." Dean says looking over at Castiel.
"Castiel! I will not let these peop-" Uriel snaps but Castiel holds up a hand to Uriel.
"Enough!" Castiel growls before looking between Dean and Katie. "I suggest you move quickly" Castiel and Uriel watched as the three hunters quickly filed out of the room. He turned to Uriel who turned away in disgust before disappearing. "I just hope you're not too late" Cas said before leaving as well.
Dean Sam and Katie walked out to the impala to see the windshield splattered with eggs.
"Astronaut!" Dean said before they all got into the car. "What?" Dean asked noticing Sam's expression.
"Nothing it's just I thought they would be different" Sam replied.
"Who the angles?" Dean asked. "Well I told ya"
"But this is God and Heaven" Sam replied. "This is what I've been praying to, I they'd be righteous"
"They are" Katie said looking out the window from the back seat. "That's kind of their problem., but don't let these jerks cause you to stop believing, there are some good ones. But right now we need to find this witch" Sam took out the hex bag and Katie cringed a bit.
"You know how much heat it would take to char a bone like this?" Sam asked.
"Well a lot" Katie replied. "So whoever charred it must have had access to a super-hot oven"
"Yeah way hotter than a kitchen oven" Sam replied.
"So what does that mean Betty Crocker?" Dean asked.
"That means we make a stop" Sam replied before tell Dean to head back to the high school. They all hopped out the car and headed into the school when Katie suddenly stopped. She started to feel light-headed.
"Hey what's wrong?" Dean asked placing a hand on her back.
"I don't think I can go in there" Katie replied. "Whoever our witch is, has this place protected against me. You guys go, I have to stay out here" Dean seemed reluctant but eventually nodded and him and Sam went into the building. Katie walked away from the building and immediately started feeling better the further she got. She leaned against the side of the impala. This was still not making any sense. She had no powers but she wondered did she still have the light. Katie stood off of the car and closed her eyes. She still didn't understand what this light inside of her even was, but she knew that in desperate situations, it came in handy. She clenched her fists before releasing them and a peaceful smile crept up on her face.
"Katie!" Dean called as him and Sam exited the building. She seemed to not hear him call her. When she opened her eyes Sam and Dean stopped in their place. Katie turned to face them, the smile never leaving her face.
"We must go" Katie said, but it wasn't her voice. She turned and walked to the driver side of the impala. Sam and Dean shared a look before turning back to the car when they heard the engine crank up.
"Dean aren't the keys in your pocket?" Sam asked.
"Yes. Yes they are Sammy" Dean said before bolting to the impala before Katie or whoever pulled off in his baby. Sam followed as well. Dean got into the passenger side and looked over at Katie's whose hands were gripping the wheel. As soon as Sam was in, Katie's foot hit the gas and they were off.
"Ok where am I" Katie said as she looked around. She was no longer standing in front of the high school. She was on a playground sitting on a swing. She scanned to area but there was no one there.
"You will never learn will you?" A voice said and Katie turned and there was a woman on the swing next to her. She was wearing a white flowing dress that dragged across the ground with every swing. The woman's short blonde hair swayed as she swung next to Katie.
"Who are you?" Katie asked and the woman smiled.
"You humans, so concerned about names" the woman shook her head. "My true name can only be said by my father, but others have tended to call me Urim"
"Urim?" Katie replies. "Wait, you're an angel?"
"Yes, but none like the ones you've met on your journey" Urim replies. "I am the angel of Light."
"Light" Katie repeated. "Wait you're here because I used the light. Is it yours?"
"No it is all yours my dear girl" Urim replied. "He made it specifically for you, with a little of my help"
"Help?" Katie asked. "I though he doesn't need the help of anyone, he can do all himself"
"He can" Urim replied. "But sometimes asking for help doesn't just help you, sometimes we just want to feel needed for something"
"So why am I here exactly?" Katie asked.
"Because you channeled the light" Urim replied. "You're not ready for it yet"
"That's what Gabe said, I just thought he was being overdramatic" Katie said.
"Oh my brother can be a bit of a drama queen" Urim replied. "And has also managed to get himself into some trouble as well, but he was right" Urim stopped the swing and looked into Katie's eyes. "You're not ready because you don't know what it is yet"
"I don't understand" Katie said.
"Ok, your wiccan powers, why did you have them?" Urim asked.
"To hunt evil and to help people" Katie replied.
"How do you know" Urim asked. " I mean there was no user manual, no one there to say that, that was their purpose, so how did you know" Katie just looked ahead, not really sure how to answer the question, before turning back to Urim.
"I just did" Katie said simply. "It's what made since to me, I mean after seeing what they could do, and realizing just what I could do with them, there was no other choice"
"Your light is a bit different" Urim replied. "Unlike your powers, your light will take much more to control, which is why every time you use it, you can't remember using it" Urim stood from the swing. "You come here, while the light takes control"
"Wait" Katie stood from her swing as well. "You mean every time I use this light or whatever, I come here, while it take over my body?"
"Yes, I'm afraid so" Urim replied.
"But why?" Katie asked.
"Because your light is more powerful than you are" Urim replied. "And it will always be more powerful, until you are finally ready"
"Well when will I be ready?" Katie asked.
"That is entirely up to you" Urim replied. "You were chosen for a reason, not only to help the Winchester men to their destiny, but in the process help to achieve yours. But it will all be up to you when that happens"
"You know I'm so tired of the fortune cookie language you angels are so accustomed to speaking" Katie replied. "Why can't you just say what you mean?"
"Because that would make life easy" Urim replied with a smile. "And you know that isn't true"
"So if I won't remember any of this, what's the point of telling me?" Katie asked.
"Because, it has been decided that this time you will be allowed to remember this" Urim replied.
"Why?" Katie asked. "Why now?"
"Because time is not on your side" Urim replied. "And any leg up will greatly help"
"And this, what you've told me is supposed to help?" Katie asked.
"Yes, it's supposed to help you understand" Urim replied. "But if you don't maybe there is another who could help"
"Who?" Katie asked. Urim smiled and walked over to Katie. She placed her hands on Katie's shoulders and just stared at Katie for a brief moment.
"It is time for you to return" Urim replied and before Katie knew it she is standing in some sort of crypt.
She turns to see Dean standing next to her but his eyes are on something else. They're full of fear and uncertainty. She follows his gaze and her eyes go wide to see Sam's hand raised at a demon, she's guessing is Samhain. Sam must be using his psychic powers and Katie, like Dean is unable to not look as Samhain leaves the man's body.
"I missed a lot" Katie said and Dean turned toward her to see her eyes were once again normal.
"You have no idea princess" Dean replied before turning back to Sam. Sam turns and faces them as his nose bleeds.
The next day Katie walked along the side walk thinking about what Urim had told her. She was still confused, even more by who this person was who could help her. She stopped when she heard the sound of children laughing and looked to see a park. There were kids, playing on a playground very similar to the one she was at the day before. She looked over and spotted Dean sitting on a bench alone with a very serious expression on his face. She walked over and took a seat next to him. He glanced over at her and gave her a small smile as she grabbed his hand that lay in his lap.
"How you doing husband?" Katie asked.
"I…" Dean trailed off thinking about his recent conversation with Castiel and finding out the future was only gonna get tougher for all of them. "I'm fine" He lied finally said turning back to the playing children. Katie looked up ran a hand down the side of Dean's face, before lightly kissing him on the side of his jaw. "Let's go" Dean said standing to his feet, still holding Katie's hand. Katie stood to her feet and walked with Dean down the sidewalk neither one of them speaking. Katie just shook her head before quickly moving in front of Dean and grabbed both of his hands looking up at him. "Princess-"
"Wait, I just want to say this and then we can go" Katie said and Dean just nodded. "Dean I'm scare-" Dean opened his mouth to say something but Katie continued. "That's something I usually wouldn't say out loud but the truth is I am. I'm afraid of what's to come and that when it comes, without my powers, I won't be able to do anything about it." Katie gripped Dean's hand a bit harder and she stared up at him. "Dean, demons are hunting me, I worried about Sam, I mean I don't know what I am exactly" a single tear streamed down her cheek. "But even with all the crap that going on with me, you want to know what gets me through it" Dean stared down at her listening to every word she was saying. "Dean I may not know what's going to happen tomorrow, but I know you're going to be there with me. Dean what I'm trying to say is that you don't have feel like you're going through all this alone, I mean I know your brother has psychic powers he got from a demon, and a weird light takes over your wife's body, but we still got your back" Katie saw a smile come to Dean's face and one came to hers.
"I know princess" Dean said leaning down and kissing Katie gently on the forehead.
"Good" Katie said and they began walking once again "Now let's get my baby some pie before we leave".
"I knew there was a reason I married you" Dean said and Katie just bust out laughing.
Meanwhile Somewhere
"What is it I can do for you Uriel?" Castiel asked. "I thought after our talk there was nothing else to discuss"
"There is one more thing that slipped my mind" Uriel responded. "The girl, Katie"
"What about her?" Castiel replied. "She is just a girl nothing else" Castiel hoped his lie wasn't too transparent. But he remembered his father's implicit directions that no one found out Katie's true nature.
"Just a girl" Uriel replied. "I have seen a lot of walking meat bags in my life Castiel and she is not like any of them" Uriel turned his back to Castiel and looked up to the sky. "She has his essence on her" Uriel turned back to Castiel to read his expression. "She has been with father hasn't she?"
"I don't know what it is you want me to say" Castiel replied. "My charge is Dean, not his wife"
"You know" a grin came to Uriel's face as he pointed toward Castiel. "I will find out the truth, if she has seen him, there must be a reason he showed himself to her, and that reason maybe the key to all of this"
"Maybe" Castiel replied simply. Uriel just shook his head before disappearing.
"Good job at playing coy" a voice said from behind Castiel. He turned to see familiar face. "But I like anyone who sticks it to old Uri"
"Urim" Castiel greeted. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to report on our girl" Urim replied. "She's getting close, but still so far away"
"What do you suggest?" Castiel asked.
"Well I was thinking, that it's time we finally see what she's made of" Urim replied. "It's the only way to see if she's truly ready. You've tested Dean, now it's Katie's turn"
A/N: What could they possibly have in mind? So I have a pretty good idea about where the next chapter will go and oh yes there will be another crossover with another one of my favorite shows! Don't forget to review.
