A/N: Hey, so the plot bunnies were working over time, because I couldn't stop typing. This is an interesting chapter, one that may shock and confuse you all at the same time
Katie stared out the window in the impala. She couldn't believe Pamela was gone. The hardest part was seeing JT's face, when she told him. She hated that they'd brought her into something she didn't want to do. Dean was too, which was the cause of his and Sam's current argument.
"Pamela didn't want anything to do with this and we dragged her back into it, Sam" Dean snapped from the passenger seat as Sam drove.
"She knew what was at stake" Sam replied.
"Oh yeah. Saving the world. And we're doing such a damn good job of it." Dean said shaking his head.
"Dean—"
"I'm tired of burying friends, Sam." Dean said cutting him off. They were losing way too many friends, because of this war.
"Look, we catch a fresh trail-"
"And we follow it, I know. Like I said, I'm just getting tired." Dean finished.
"Well, get angry." Sam replied. Katie didn't say anything. Truth is she was tired too. Tired of the fighting and the people closest to her dying. She yearned for just a little normality in her life, something she knew was next to impossible.
Sam pulled into the parking lot of the motel and Dean hopped out of the car without a word. Sam just looked back at Katie.
"He'll be ok" Katie said before getting out of the car as well.
"I'll go get us a room" Sam said before walking to the front desk. Katie walked over to Dean who just leaned against the trunk of the impala avoiding her eyes.
"Do you want a hug?" Katie asked.
"No" Dean said simply.
"Ok" Katie replied. "Well then can I have a hug?" Dean turned to her and she moved to wrap her arms around his middle. He wrapped his arms around her and leaned his head against hers. They heard footsteps and turned to see Sam, with the key. They got their bags and followed Sam to their room.
"Ah, home crappy home" Dean says and Sam flicks on the light switch revealing Castiel and Uriel.
"You've got to be kidding me" Katie says.
"Winchesters" Uriel greets.
"Oh come on." Dean snaps dropping his bag, they all walk in and Katie closes the door.
"You are needed." Uriel says gaining confused looks from all three Winchesters.
"Needed?" Dean asks "We just got back from needed."
"Mind your tone with me." Uriel warns and that just makes Dean even angrier.
"No, you mind your damn tone with us." Dean snaps taking a step closer to the angel, Katie caught his arm.
"We just got back from Pamela's funeral." Katie said. "Now, really not a good time.
"Pamela. You know, psychic Pamela?" Dean snaps "You remember her. Cas, you remember her. You burned her eyes out. Remember that?" Dean shakes his head. "Good times. Yeah, then she died saving one of your precious seals. So maybe you can stop pushing us around like chess pieces for five freaking minutes!"
"We raised you out of hell for our purposes" Uriel growls.
"Yeah, what were those again?" Dean asks. "What exactly did you want from me?"
"Start with gratitude." Uriel replied.
"Oh." Dean says rolling his eyes.
"Dean, we know this is difficult to understand." Castiel says.
"And we-" Uriel says giving Castiel a look. "-don't care. Now, seven angels have been murdered, all of them from our garrison. The last one was killed tonight."
"Demons?" Katie asks. "How they doing it?"
"We don't know." Uriel replies. Katie turns and walks over to the window. She closes her eyes as the faces of several dead angels flash before her.
"I'm sorry, but what do you want us to do about it?" Sam asks. "I mean, a demon with the juice to ice angels has to be out of our league, right?"
"We can handle the demons, thank you very much." Uriel snaps.
"Once we find whoever it is." Castiel adds.
"So you need our help hunting a demon?" Dean asks.
"Not quite. We have Alastair" Castiel replies taking a step closer.
"Great." Dean says. "He should be able to name your trigger man.
"But he won't talk. Alastair's will is very strong. We've arrived at an impasse." Castiel says and Katie turns toward him, walks back over. Castiel meets her eyes for a moment before turning back to Dean.
"Yeah, well, he's like a black belt in torture. I mean, you guys are out of your league." Dean says.
"That's why we've come to his student." Uriel says and they all turn to him "You happen to be the most qualified interrogator we've got." Dean looks down, at the memories he tried so hard to bury.
"Dean, you are our best hope." Castiel pleads.
"No" Katie says stepping forward. She'd heard enough, this wasn't happening. "You will find another away, you can't ask him to do this" Uriel walks up to Katie with a smirk, and she stood her ground.
"Who said anything about asking?" Uriel replies and before she knows it, Dean, Castiel and Uriel are all gone.
"Damn it!" Sam yells. Katie's fists clench as she closes her eyes trying to focus on Dean, trying to find out where they took him, but she couldn't. There was some kind of wall blocking her from him.
"I can't sense him" Katie snapped. "Their blocking me" Sam takes out his cell phone. "Who are you calling?"
"Ruby, maybe she can help us find Dean" Sam said already dialing.
"Sam, do not call her" Katie snapped. "Right, now she is the last person I need here"
"You said it yourself you can't find him" Sam snapped. "She could"
"Don't you get it Sam" Katie snapped. "I don't trust her, so I don't want her around!"
"Well, that's too damn bad, because Dean's my brother and I'm going to do whatever I have to, to find him" Sam snaps back and Katie shakes her head.
"Ok Sam, call Ruby and whoever the hell else you want to call" Katie walked toward the door. "But you will do without me, I'll find my husband without your help" Katie stormed out of the motel room. As soon as she was outside the room, she focused on the one person she hoped would give her answers.
Katie looked around and couldn't believe that she was on top of a very high mountain top. She looked up at the bright sun as it shined down on her.
"Wasn't it just night time?" Katie thought. "Where are you?" Katie asked, looking around.
"Looking for me I presume" Katie turned to see Urim staring back at her hands on her hips.
"Yes, your brothers are being mean, so make them stop" Katie said.
"They have Dean" Urim said. "He is needed"
"I don't care" Katie replied. "You don't understand what you're asking him to do"
"Yes, we do" Urim replied. "My family is dying, and if your husband has to deal with his little issues then so be it, there is a bigger picture here"
"Little issues?" Katie said. "He was tortured for years, and when he couldn't take it anymore, he was forced to do the same to others, nothing about that is little"
"I understand your concern, but sooner or later he will have to come to terms with his actions" Urim said. "But now we need his help"
"No, you want to use him" Katie said. "Look, just tell me where he is, your brothers have blocked him from me"
"I can't do that" Urim replied. "Not, until he gets Alistair to talk"
"Fine, I'll just find him myself" Katie turned around about to leave, but turned back to the angel. "Who's giving these orders, I mean your father only shows up for a little pep talk, and from what I hear, never to you guys, so who's orders are you following?" Urim was silent. "A question, you should be thinking about, don't you think" Katie turned around and began walking.
Katie stood outside the door, of the house. She didn't leave on good terms the last time she was here. She lifted her hand to knock and before she could over think this, she pounded her fist on the door. The door opened to reveal a familiar face.
"I didn't think I'd ever see the day, you'd knock on my door" Bobby said.
"Yeah, well I didn't know if you were entertaining any company tonight" Katie replied.
"No, she's gone" Bobby replied. "What are you doing here, I thought I was the last person you'd want to see"
"You are" Katie replied. "The last person that is, I need your help"
"Come in" Bobby replied. Katie walked in past Bobby into his den, and she dropped her bag on the floor.
"Castiel and Uriel have kidnapped my husband" Katie said turning to Bobby. "And I need to find him"
"Kidnapped?" Bobby asked. "Since when do angels kidnap people?"
"Since they need them to do their dirty work" Katie replied. "Apparently there's a demon out there killing angels, and they think Alistair knows who it is, but he's not talking. So they drafted Dean to torture the truth out of him" Bobby looked at her with the same look she had. "I know, I may not have been down there with him, but I know whatever happened to him, took a big part out of him, and doing this will just make it worst"
"I agree" Bobby replied. "So what do you want me to do?"
"I need your help finding a way to weaken an angel" Katie said. "One of them, has put up a block so I can't sense, or find him, I need you to find a way to break down whatever wall they have up"
"What are you going to do?" Bobby asked.
"Plan B" Katie said. "They want this demon, so the sooner I find it, the sooner I can get Dean back"
"Alone?" Bobby asked. "Where's Sam?"
"Sam and I had a bit of a disagreement" Katie replied. "He wanted to call his demon girlfriend to help, and I didn't. He wouldn't budge and neither would I so, Sam is wherever the hell he is" Katie looked around the room. "You got those boxes, JT sent over?"
"Yeah, there was so many of them" Bobby said before turning. "I had to put them in the basement." Katie followed Bobby down the basement and looked at the many boxes of books.
"Ok so these should be somewhat categorized according to JT" Katie said looking around the boxed. She grabbed one and picked it up. "Ok, anything you need, any information should be in this box" Katie handed it to Bobby. "Look I'm going to go search for this thing, if you need me just call"
"Right" Bobby said with a nod.
"Thanks Bobby" Katie said. "For all of this"
"Yeah, yeah" Bobby said turning and walking up the stairs. Katie smiled shaking her head before turning.
"Who would kill angels?" Katie asked herself. "Lilith wouldn't stop at seven, there'd be hundreds lined up" Katie ran her hands through her hair. "If only I could go back in time to see what happened" Katie thought, and then she froze. "Wait, that's it, it's a long shot, but not impossible" Katie blinked an in an instant she was standing in front of a clock shop. She looked around and the streets were empty. She walked up to the door, and read the sign that said they were closed. Suddenly the door slowly opened. "Of course" Katie said before walking into the dark shop, closing the door behind her. The sound of the tick-tocking of the many clocks filled the store as Katie walked deeper into the store. There didn't seem to be any form of life, until she spotted a door behind the counter. A bright light seemed to shine through the edges of the door. Katie walked around the counter and placed her hand on the knob.
"Time travel is tricky thing" a voice said from somewhere in the store. Katie looked around but the with the sounds of the clocks and it being almost pitch black, made spotting the person impossible. "Not to mention dangerous"
"Who are you?" Katie asked.
"I am who you seek" the voice replied.
"Are you the time keeper?" Katie asked still trying her hardest to find the source of the voice.
"I am" he replied.
"I need-"
"I know what you need" the time keeper replied. "I also know why it is important"
"Then you will help me?" Katie asked.
"Yes" the time keeper replied. "But not without a price"
"What do you want?" Katie asked.
"Something you hold dear" the time keeper replied. Katie thought for a moment before reaching to her wrist. She grabbed the bracelet Dean had given her for her birthday. She never took the thing off, especially after hearing Dean's reason for getting it.
Katie furiously searched her bag, tossing clothes all over the place. She through her bag aside and went search in Dean's bag.
"What are you looking for?" Dean asked looking over at his wife.
"My bracelet" Katie said still searching his bag. "The one you got me, I can't find it anywhere" Katie dropped his bag and plopped down on the bed. "I've search the car twice, looked through both are bags, and tore this room apart looking for it"
"I didn't know the thing meant that much to you" Dean said and Katie looked up at him.
"Of course it means a lot to me Dean" Katie said. "That was the first gift you ever gave me, I never take it off" Katie dropped her head and Dean sat down next to her, wrapping an arm around her and she laid her head on his chest.
"You know I remember getting that bracelet" Dean said with a chuckle. "Despite popular belief I did remember it was your birthday, and I remember you saying that you didn't want either of us to even mention it"
"So why'd you get the bracelet?" Katie asked.
"Well, around that time I was getting to know you" Dean said. "And I couldn't think of a single time you asked for anything, so I guess I just want to give you something, and I searched high and low for the perfect gift but I couldn't find anything" Dean reached in his pocket and pulled out the bracelet. "Then I saw this, in a gum ball machine, and thought it was perfect" Katie lifted her head from Dean and held out her wrist for him to put it on her.
"It was perfect" Katie replied. "Where did you find it?"
"Bathroom, it fell next to the sink" Dean replied. "If it means so much, then take care of it" Katie smiled before bringing her lips to Dean.
"I will, I promise" Katie said. Dean just smiled down at her before pulling her closer for another kiss"
Katie unclasped the bracelet from her wrist, and held it out for the keeper to take. She waited for a moment before feeling the bracelet instantly gone.
"I should warn you, nothing to say or do can change what you see, or hear" the keeper replied. "Everything will happen as if you we're even there"
"Anything else?" Katie asked.
"Yes, whatever you're looking for make sure you find it fast" the keeper said. "You're entering a different time continuum, one that moves slower than this one"
"What are you saying?" Katie asked.
"I'm saying that what feels like an hours in there, could be weeks here" the keeper replied. "So if what you're doing is time sensitive, I wouldn't dally"
"Ok" Katie said turning to the door. She quickly turned back. "When I've seen, what I need to see, how do I get back?"
"You must find the door marked with the number six" the keeper replied. "And be wary, the door can be tricky"
"Tricky?" Katie asked.
"You'll find out soon enough" the time keeper replied. "Remember, that the giving of time also means the taking of time, so keep an eye on your watch" Katie nodded before turning back to the door. She turned the door knob and opened the door to reveal a swirling of black and white lights. She took a deep breath, before finally stepping through.
Katie walked in what looked like a park. She looked down at her watch, she was going to give herself thirty minutes before getting out of here. She walked until she saw a familiar face.
"Why have you called me here?" Uriel asked.
Katie could tell from his face he was agitated.
"I was just making sure everything was going as planned" the other man asked.
Katie didn't recognize him. She looked him over, and tried taking in his appearance for memory. He was tall, bald man, wearing a business suit.
"Everything is fine" Uriel replied. "I do know what I'm doing"
"Well you can never be too sure" the man replied. "We are in the end of days brothers, and I'm just counting up my allies, and my enemies"
"Well brother, I definitely know what side I am fighting for" Uriel replied.
"Brother?" Katie said to herself.
"And Castiel has not caught on?" The man asked.
"Castiel is too busy bowing down to humans" Uriel replied. "He doesn't know what's happening right in front of his eyes"
"Do you have it?" the man asked and Uriel rolled his eyes.
"Yes, it's right here" Uriel pulled out long dagger and Katie looked at the weapon. "Now I'm leaving, us being her together is just too risky"
"Okay, okay, you sound as paranoid as Gabriel" the man replied.
"I'm nothing like that coward" Uriel replied. "Hiding when there is a war coming"
"Well we're all not built for the life of soldiers" the man said. "And some of us are" the man placed a hand on Uriel shoulder, before turning and walking away.
"Zachariah" Uriel said and the man turned back to him. "Don't call to meet like this unless it is absolutely necessary, understand?" A smile came to Zachariah's face.
"Of course" he replied, before disappearing. Uriel looked down at dagger before sliding back under his coat. He looked around before disappearing as well.
"What is going on?" Katie said. "Angels killing angels?" Katie shook her head. At least now she knew the truth. She turned and looked around for the door marked with the number six. She quirked an eyebrow at the door marked with the number six at the top of a slide. She walked over and climbed up the steps and opened the door again to see the lights. She stepped through and the door slammed after her, causing the six on the door to fall and reveal itself as a nine.
Katie looked around and immediately noticed she wasn't in the clock shop like she expected. She looked down at her watch. She had fifteen minutes left.
"Damn trick door" Katie yelled. She looked around and there was no one around. She saw a car coming toward her. The car pulled over onto the shoulder of the road. Katie was surprised to see the person getting out of the car. "What am I doing here?" Katie asked watching as Elizabeth got out of the car and walked to lean against the side and watched the setting sun. Katie walked over to the woman and stood directly in front of her and stared her in the eyes. Elizabeth stared past Katie. Katie looked the woman over and couldn't deny the familiar features of both her and Jason in her.
"So how did she do?" Liz asked turning to the angel.
"As expected" Urim replied. "Selfless, determined, courageous, everything she needs to be for what is to come"
Katie's eyes went wide at the sight of the angel. Was there anyone her mother didn't know? She looked between Elizabeth and Urim, still trying to figure out the depth of their relationship.
"I told you this stupid test was pointless" Liz replied. "She's my daughter" She smiled as she looked back at the rising sun.
"Well we had to make sure" Urim replied. "There is no time for mistakes, but now we know that it is her"
"So now will you return her powers?" Liz asked. "I don't like her without them, I mean I get she can handle herself but knowing she had them helped me to sleep easier"
Katie couldn't believe how much Elizabeth knew about her. She'd known that Katie didn't have her powers. She would always believe that her mother was looking over her, but she was never sure, not until now that is.
"Sorry, that's a no can do" Urim replied. "We've proved that she is the one, but that still doesn't means she ready, there is still more for her to learn"
"Right" Liz replied.
"You know he was right you know" Urim said. "You can't hide from her forever, in fact she may be getting closer to finding you than you think"
"Who is he?" Katie thought. "And how does he know me?"
"What do you mean?" Liz asked.
"Well I guess you'll see" Urim replied. "Oh and another thing you should know, all things kept in the dark will come to the light. One day, and they will find out the truth, and I hope you're prepared for when that happens" With that the angel was gone leaving Elizabeth to think about those words.
Katie tried to make sense of the angel's words, but she couldn't. There was a secret her mother was keeping and apparently she would find out sooner or later. Katie was torn from her thought by the beeping of her watch. She looked down at her watch, before shooting her head up to search for the door. She spotted the door in between two trees and hurried over to it. She placed her fingers on the six to make sure it wasn't another trick. When it didn't move she quickly opened the door and jumping into the swirling lights.
She ended up on the other side of the clock shops door. She turned just in time to see the door slam behind her and the closed sign swaying from back and forth. She looked down at her watch to reveal that she'd been gone for two hours. She felt her pocket vibrate and grabbed her phone and put it to her ear.
"Yeah"
"Well finally" Bobby said. "Where the hell have you been?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" Katie replied. "Tell me you've found something"
"Well I didn't find something about an Angel killing sword" Bobby said. "It's the only thing that can kill an angel or weaken it, this maybe what our demon is using"
"Yeah, that's what their using" Katie replied. "But it's not a demon"
"What is it?" Bobby asked.
"Rogue angels" Katie said. "Apparently they're tired of their father being MIA and are going to take things into their own hands"
"Well damn" Bobby replied.
"My thoughts exactly" Katie replied. "So is that the only thing you found"
"No," Bobby says. "It also says that holding up the kind of wall you're talking about is strong, but not impenetrable"
"So how do I break it?" Katie asked.
"With the one thing those bastards don't understand" Bobby replied. "You gotta follow your heart on this one"
"My heart?" Katie asked.
"Yeah, your love for that boy is the only thing that's going to help you find him" Bobby said.
"Right" Katie said. "Thanks Bobby" Katie hung up the phone and pushed it back down in her pocket. "Follow my heart" She said to herself. "Ok" she sighed before closing her eyes.
Katie laid her head on Dean's chest as his arm slid up and down her side without thought. She raised her head to look at him, and he looked down at her.
"Something on your mind princess?" Dean asked.
"Actually, yes" Katie said before turning so her head was facing up. She shot her hand up and they both looked at the engagement ring that was on her finger. "Dude you asked me to marry you, that's like forever, you're sure you're ready for that?" Dean laughed.
"Well, I know it's sudden, but you, me and forever doesn't sound that bad" Dean replied and Katie turn and propped herself on top of him.
"You say that now" Katie replied. "But in a couple of years, you're going to be running for the hills, I mean I can be a hand full at times"
"I know" Dean replied.
"And I talk a lot" Katie said. "Actually like more than a lot"
"I know that too" Dean said and Katie smiled down at him.
"And I come from one dysfunctional family" Katie said.
"Yep" Dean said.
"And you still want forever?" Katie asked and Dean just nodded. "Why?" Dean looked up at her seriously.
"Because my forever won't mean a thing if I don't have you in it" Dean replied. Katie smiled and leaned down to kiss him.
"Did you get that from a song?" Katie asked.
"Nope, that was all me" Dean replied.
"Impressive" Katie said before planting gentle kisses on the side of his jaw.
"Well I try" Dean said.
Katie's eyes shot open and suddenly she could feel him again. But he was hurting, she needed to get to him fast. She focused every beam in her body on her husband and before she knew it she was standing in some abandoned warehouse.
She sees Sam holding up a hand toward Alistair killing him. She shakes her head at how powerful Sam is. She searches before finally spotting Dean on the floor badly beaten, and bloodied. She runs over and kneels down.
"Baby" Katie says and Dean lifts his head to look at her. "I'm so, sorry, I shouldn't have let them take you"
"Not.. your fault" Dean lets out. The pain is getting worse. They both turn to Alistair as a flash of gold light bursts inside of the demon. He screams in pain before the human's body collapses to the ground. Katie looks over at Sam, still holding on tight to Dean. Sam turns and begins walking over to them.
"Sam, No" Katie replied holding a hand up toward him. "He needs to get to a hospital" Before Sam could say a word, Katie and Dean were gone.
Katie stood at the end of the bed looking over Dean who was asleep. She looked at his bandaged body and the IV coming from his arm. She didn't turn away at the angry footsteps that seemed to be getting closer. She already knew who it was. Sam stormed into Dean's room and before he could say one word Katie shot her hand up toward him.
"Not in here" Katie said and walked past him out into the hospital's hallway. Sam glanced over at his brother to make she he was ok before going out into the hallway.
"How dare you just take him like that!" Sam yelled.
"Will you keep your voice down" Katie whispered. "And what do you mean, how dare I, my husband was near death, so excuse me if I didn't take my time to get him to the hospital" Katie reached and scratched her shoulder. She didn't know why she felt itchy all of a sudden.
"You had no right" Sam replied. "He's my brother-"
"And he is my husband Sam" Katie said. "Look, I'm not here to play some tug a war with Dean, because it will not end well for any of us" Katie looked down at her hand and noticed red splotches along her wrist. "What the hell?" She said raising her sleeve, and seeing the rash along her arm. She looked back up at Sam and could've sworn is eyes flashed black. She took a step back away from him.
"What?" Sam asked. Katie looked up at him.
"Castiel" Katie said and Sam looked at her confused. "Is here" She said before turning around to see the trench coat clad angel standing behind him.
"Katie-"
"No" Katie said holding her hand to him. She walked over to him and made sure to look him in the eyes. "You had no right to take him" She growled. "I don't care what orders you have, the next time you try anything like that again, I promise you, this apocalypse will be the least of your worries" Katie turned and went back into Dean's room and took a seat in the chair next to his bed. She looked at his sleeping form, and grabbed his hand in hers. Her head dropped as a tear fell from her eye.
"Katie, I'm.." Katie turned to see Urim standing in front of Dean's bed. "I'm sorry" Katie stood to her feet and walked over to the angel. "We don't know what happened"
"I do" Katie growled. "You put my husband in danger, because you thought there was some demon out there killing your family"
"There is a demon-"
"No" Katie said. "There is no demon, and I have proof" Katie brought her hand up to Urim's head, and gave her the memory from the time jump. She dropped her hand and Urim looked at her in complete shock.
"I don't believe it" Urim said.
"You don't have much of a choice" Katie said. "You need to tell Castiel and you need to deal with your family, because if they mess with mines again, it won't be pretty" Katie turned and went back to her seat next to Dean, when she looked back up Urim was gone. Katie sat their holding Dean's hand in silence, until Sam walked in and took the seat on the opposite side of Dean's bed.
"Hey, I'm sorry about before" Sam said and Katie looked up to meet sad eyes. "It's just-"Sam sighed. "For like my whole life, it's just been me and Dean, and I guess, that's all I was focusing on, was just to get my brother back"
Katie stared over at Sam and again she could've sworn his eyes flashed, black but it seemed to happen so quickly. Katie reached to scratch her upper arm.
"Look, Sam my intention was never to just barge into your lives and change the ways thing were with you two" Katie said. "But I am his wife, and when it comes to him I will do anything to keep him safe" Katie suddenly got a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She grabbed her stomach and closed her eyes.
"Are you ok?" Sam asked and Katie opened her eyes and looked up at him.
"I have to go" Katie said standing to her feet. Sam looked at her as she moved slowly as if she weren't in control.
"Katie what's happening?" Sam asked and Katie turned toward him.
"I don't know" Katie replied and before Sam could respond she was gone.
Katie stood in the aisle of church. A church she's never been before. She looks forward to see a man alone sitting in one of the pews. She walked down the aisle still trying to figure out why she was here. She stood next to the man in the pews and in an instant they looked at each other.
"Tommy?" Katie asks.
"Katie" Thomas replies as he stands to his feet. "What are you doing here?"
"I don't know" Katie said looking around, to see if maybe this was some kind of trick. There was no one around. She looked back over at Thomas. "What are you doing here?"
"I've been having these weird dreams" Tommy sighed. "Really weird, and the last one was of this church"
"You've been here before?" Katie asked.
"Yeah, on a case once" Thomas replied. "But I had a dream, that I was here and so were you and I-"
"You what?" Katie asked.
"I think I'm supposed to give you a message" Thomas said and Katie looked at him confused.
"What is it?" Katie asked and Thomas took a deep breath.
"You are the word" Thomas said and Katie quirked an eyebrow as her confusion seemed to get worse.
"What does that mean?" Katie asked before she felt a sharp pain on her side. She grabbed her side hunching over a bit.
"Are you ok?" Thomas asked worry filling his voice. This was getting way too weird for him. "Do you need a doctor?"
"No" Katie said standing up straight, still holding her side. "I'm fine"
"What just happened?" Thomas asked. Katie just released her side and grabbed the bottom of her shirt and lifted it. "What is that?" Thomas asked looking down at the words written on Katie's skin. "Did that just happen now?" Katie just nodded. Thomas looked back down at the writing. "It says 'There was the word', what does that mean?"
Katie looked up as a light bulb finally went off in her head. She looked down at Thomas.
"Tommy, go home" Katie said. "Thanks for your help"
"I'm not sure what I did but you're welcome" Thomas replied. "You sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, I'm good" Katie said. Thomas just nodded before turning and walking out of the church. Katie just plopped down in one of the pews and sat in silent for a moment. She looked down and saw a bible sitting in the shelf in the back of the pew. She picked it up and closed her eyes as she flipped the book open to a random page. She opened her eyes and read the first line on the page.
"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God"
Katie dropped the bible to the floor and just sat there in utter shock, confusion and fear.
"What does this mean?" Katie asked herself. She sat there all night trying to piece together all the info she had and still came up with the same conclusion, the conclusion that was impossible. She wasn't God; she was the farthest thing from God. But then she thought about her connection to Anna, and Urim and how close she felt to them sometimes. Or how she knew when Castiel was around, and then there was the light. But it just didn't make any sense. She's talk to God, well she thinks it was him. She doesn't know what to think.
Here mind raced with these thoughts for who knows how long. She didn't stop until she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. She took it out and glanced at the clock to see that it was already morning. She brought the phone to her ear.
"Hello" Katie answered.
"Hey, are you ok?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, I'm good" Katie replied. "I'm sorry I just left like that, how's Dean?"
"He's awake and he's asking for you" Sam replied.
"I'm on my way" Katie said. She hung up the phone and pushed it back into her pocket. She stood and focused on the hospital, before she knew it she stumbling on the floor of the bathroom. "Crap" Katie says. That definitely was not planned. She grabbed one of the sinks and stood to her feet. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, and grimaced at the sight of the dark circles around her eyes. The exhaustion was catching up with her fast. She turned on the faucet and reached her hands under the cold water and splashed it into her face.
She looked back up into the mirror to see she wasn't alone anymore. She looked at the familiar redheaded angel.
"Long time no see" Katie said turning to face Anna.
"I've been busy" Anna replied. "But so have you I hear"
"You smell of death" Katie said and Anna looked down.
"It had to be done" Anna replied looking back up to meet Katie's gaze. She knew what she did and why she did it, but looking into Katie's eyes made her doubt herself.
"Yes it did" Katie replied. "But was it supposed to be done by you"
"There was no one else" Anna said. "My father is not around and when he is, it's only to speak to you, I had to do something"
"You ready for this?" Katie asked walking up to Anna. "You ready for what's coming?" Anna looked into Katie's eyes and saw something different, something she didn't recognize. "Because I'm not sure I am"
"You have to be" Anna replied. "You think you being here is an accident, you meeting Dean and getting married" Anna grabbed Katie's hand. "It all was destined, and you must give into your destiny"
"That's just it" Katie said. "I'm not sure I can do that"
"You can" Anna said. "We believe in you" Katie looked up to see the angel was gone. There was just way too much pressure. Katie turned to look at herself in the mirror. She wiped her eyes before turning and walking out of the bathroom. She walked down the hall toward Dean's room. She took a deep breath before turning the knob and walking in. Dean's eyes instantly turned to her, and just as soon knew something wasn't right with her.
"What's wrong?" Dean asked and Katie quickly made her way to sit on the edge of his bed beside him.
"Calm down" Katie said taking his hands in hers." I'm fine" She leaned in and placed a soft kiss to his lips. "I'm better now" Katie brought her hands around Dean and gave him a gentle hug. She didn't know if he was still in pain, so she didn't squeeze him tightly like she usually does. He must have noticed because before she knows it, his arms are around her back pulling her closer to him. "We can do this right?"
"I don't know princess" Dean sighed. "I really don't know"
