Brooklyn has a face to face encounter with Aiden while on a hunt…..
"I'm going out with you tonight, Brook" Castiel told his charge as she loaded up her truck headed out for a night's hunt. He was concerned about her state of mind ever since she started having those nightmares and Brady was not here to go out with her. She turned to look at her angel. His eyes wide with concern as he looked at her. He was not going to let her go out alone. He had made his mind up. It was far too dangerous for her. "I am going with you, Brook" He said firmly as he clasped his hands on her shoulders. She started to protest but realized it was not going to be worth the fight. When Cas was set on something he was not to be easily swayed otherwise. Sighing, she relented to the angel. Getting in, Brooklyn started up the truck. She glanced over at her angel as he sat there merely looking at her drawing her in with those innocent eyes. She couldn't say no to those baby blues. Putting the truck in gear they took off as the sun vanished behind the mountains.
They arrived at the old mansion seeing how neglected the structure was. The house was built in the last century and saw several owners over the years. Some said it was cursed since the property was once an old burial ground for deceased inmates from the city jail. As they got out and scanned the property it was apparent that vandals and other trespassers had left their marks on the property. Graffiti covered the west wall and the windows broken out as a result of bricks or stones being hurled at them. There was the usual trespassers would be prosecuted sign on the old rusted gate. Pushing the rusted gate with one hand, leading the way as they made their way to the steps. The wood was rotted and broken in spots. Lips pressed tight, Brooklyn began to move step by step gauging her next move. Moving bit by bit she made it to the porch. Looking back to see if Castiel was behind her but he wasn't. Turning around she came face to face with him. "Take the easy route, Cas?" The angel smirked at her as to acknowledge he had. Rolling her eyes, she focused her attention on the front doors. As she proceeded, she felt Castiel's hand gripping hers. "Allow me, Brook" he said as he stepped in front of her. Waving his hand the lock and chains fell to the ground and the door creaked open. Taking her flashlight he shined it into the vast entryway. Most of the furniture had been carried off or destroyed by intruders. Looking around Brooklyn took in and imagined what it was like when it saw parties, dinners, weddings, and other joyous events. She saw the large chandelier hanging overhead witness to the drama that unfolded in decades past. Her ears open to the slightest sound as she scanned the room coming back to the doors.
She realized she was alone. Where was Cas?! He was right there standing next to her. Growling with slight irritation she pulled out the other light and began the hunt for Castiel. Why couldn't that seraph stay in one spot when they were out on a hunt!? Treading with caution she silently went from room to room with Castiel still nowhere to be seen. This was getting stranger and stranger. Sighing she headed up the stairs hoping her angel was up there. Probably used that freaky Jedi mind power he had she thought as she continued upward. Finally making it to the landing Brooklyn scanned the downstairs one more time being greeted with silence. Now she was getting a little nervous as Castiel had failed to appear. She hoped that nothing had happened to him. As much as she realized he was her life now. It felt kind of empty without him next to her. She felt a void inside of her when he was not by her side. Shaking away the emptiness she moved on. She swept silently from room to room even trying to call out with her soul. Maybe that would work…Again she was greeted with silence. It was then she was at the last room. She heard a faint noise from behind the double doors causing her to freeze in place. Pulling the gun that lay hidden in her jeans, she reached out turning the ancient doorknob. As the door swung open a slight breeze rushed out brushing her face as she stepped in. This room looked as if it was left untouched by the vandals and intruders. The furniture looked new and as if it was bought only yesterday. As she stood there in the middle of the room she immediately sensed that she was not alone. Weapon ready she spun around gun drawn. Her eyes went wide and she felt her heart stop when she saw who shared her personal space. It was him. The one from her dreams. The one with the beautiful violet irises. She couldn't break herself away from his hypnotic stare as he slowly approached the hunter.
Aiden looked down at her seeing the fight within her raging. A part of her continued to resist the creature while the other part surrendered to him. She was a tough woman. She had seen many battles and had a strong will. Raising a hand he gently pushed down the hand that held the gun. She could feel herself lowering her resistance with the lowering with her hand. She felt frozen in place as he continued to look into her grey eyes. It was as if he was searching her face, searching her soul for something. "We finally meet, Brooklyn Ravenwood" he whispered to her. It sent shivers down her spine as he spoke. Keep fighting it girl, she told herself. She continued to resist his charms but that resistance began to ebb away bit by bit. Aiden smiled as he could feel the wall begin to crumble. She may be strong willed but not strong enough against him. He took her weapon placing it on the stand.
"You have such a strong will and soul, Brooklyn. I find that rather attractive in a woman" he continued sending more shivers down her spine. She stood there unable to move face to face with a vampire. "I am not just any vampire" he said as if he was reading her mind. "Really? Then who are you? Dracula?" Sarcasm lacing the last word. He laughed softly at her sarcasm. "Such a tongue. Sharp as a dagger and quick like a whip. I can now see why I chose you." Chose her!? What the hell did he mean by that!? Answering her unspoken question Aiden replied "I have walked the Earth for two thousand years. Alone. I wandered from place to place looking for someone. Someone who was my equal, someone who could challenge me mentally and physically. You, Brooklyn" his grin widening revealing the sharp ends of fangs. "CAS!!" She screamed out for her angel praying he could hear her. Aiden reacted by placing his hand over her mouth leaning in to her as he said "Now, now. There is no need for attracting unwelcomed visitors. Your precious Castiel is busy at the moment. Let's say that duty called and he had to go." Brooklyn's faith in Castiel remained unbroken. He would come she was certain of that. Their souls were connected and he could feel when she was distressed or in trouble. She just had to keep the faith. Aiden turned to face the hunter removing his hand. It was warm like in her dream. "What poor soul did you drain to make yourself feel like that?" Ignoring her snarky remark, he leaned in taking her lips in his. She resisted against his advance as he kept his mouth firmly in place with hers. She kept fighting him. Seeing as how she would be quite the difficult one, Aiden ran his finger down her spine sending chills and other sensations down her spine. He pushed his tongue in her mouth and she initially tried to resist but felt her will beginning to wane but she still remained steadfast against him. Aiden knew that she was a tough hunter but she was fighting him every step of the way. Deciding he would need to up the ante he took shape of someone she was very familiar with. Brooklyn opened her eyes back up to not see Aiden but her Castiel standing in front of her. He was smiling at her as she stood there confused. "Cas? What's going on? Where did you go?" Uncertainty and confusion in her voice. The figure before her spoke "Brook, I was summoned to battle. Lilith was attempting to break another Seal and we had to stop her. But it is now being protected so I came back. Back to you" he leaned in sealing her mouth with his. She did not fight but returned hungrily his kiss. He ran his hands on her face pulling back looking at her face as it was red and swollen. He kissed her neck and nipped at it. She moaned but yelped in slight discomfort as his teeth pinched her skin. "Being a little rough, aren't we?" she said huskily. Slowing down, the thing posing as Castiel returned to her mouth claiming it as his own.
He picked her up and carried her to the rather large couch in the room. Lowering her onto it he gazed down at her knowing it was the time to strike. Continuing to pose as her angel, Aiden leaned in kissing her neck softly. He pulled back letting his fangs unsheathe ready to finally take what he wanted. As he leaned in his head was greeted with a fist to the lower jaw. Stunned he looked down to see Brooklyn glaring up at him. She had snapped out of her trance. But how? He had her deep in his gaze there was no way she could have been brought back. "BROOK!" Castiel's voice rang out as he headed up the stairs. "Cas! I'm in here!" She yelled back launching herself to her feet. Aiden reverted back to his true form eyes now a deep purple and fangs unsheathed. "This is not over yet, Brooklyn! You may think you can resist me but I can see that I proved to the contrary. I will see you soon" he was gone.
Brooklyn stood there her heart pounding wildly in her chest as Castiel burst through the door. Brooklyn ran to him literally crashing into him wrapping herself around him tight. He struggled to breathe as she constricted herself around him like a snake. "Where were you!?" She cried.
"I had been told I was needed in battle for a Seal. It was not the case. There was no battle. Then I heard you cry out for me. I felt your pain and distress as if it were mine. It appears that I made it in time" he held her stroking her hair. She eased up on her death grip around her angel and looked up at him. Her grey eyes full of terror. "It was a vampire, Cas. It tried to seduce me and almost did but I fought against its will. Then it turned into you and tried to seduce me again. Then I heard you call out to me and I snapped out of whatever trance I was in. I'm just glad you're here" a smile of relief overcame her.
"I almost lost you. I couldn't live with myself if that happened. I wouldn't know what I would have done" Castiel whispered putting his forehead against hers. "But you didn't lose me. You brought me back again. You got to me and snapped me back" she replied. She tilted her head up kissing his lips softly. He leaned into her kiss returning it. They remained there locked in their passionate embrace until he pulled away from her. "Let's go home" he said softly locking her eyes with his. She could see relief and love overpowering the lost look that greeted her when he had burst in. Keeping one arm around her waist Castiel led his Brooklyn out of the house and back home.
After reaffirming their love for one another, they lay intertwined in each other's arms. She kissed him as she ran her fingers through his dark hair. He loved it when she did that. She lay just looking at him losing herself in those emotional blue eyes. She could feel her eyes getting heavy as sleep gently calling her. He watched her fall asleep secure in his arms. She was safe now. Leaning in his kissed her forehead as he whispered "Good night, my Brooklyn."
Aiden paced around the loft. He underestimated the strength of the love and bond that Castiel shared with Brooklyn. He was able to break the hold he had over her even when he appeared as the angel. He was not deterred however. He was still going to make her his. He would have to come up with another way to pull her away from Castiel. Damn that angel!
