Sam's P.O.V

As Meg took another hit from Crowley across the face, I noticed Eva starting to stir out the corner of my eye. I tried to get Balthazar's attention, "hey Balthazar!"

"What?" Mouthed Balthazar, I nodded my head towards Eva. Crowley continued oblivious with Meg beating her again and again. "Hey sleepy head, wake up!" Balthazar stared to click his fingers which seemed to work as Eva's eyes opened. Confused and dazed, Eva looked around completely ignoring Balthazar. "EVA! Now's not the time to laze about!" Balthazar's voice rose slightly in frustration at Eva's lack of communication. Finally she sat up right, wiped the blood from her nose. She then looked to Balthazar in a panic ready to burst into tears, "calm down." He said in a somewhat gentle voice, rarely heard from Balthazar. Eva took in deep breaths to calm herself down as Balthazar gave instructions to her pointed to the ring of holy fire. It was like watching two angles playing charades as Eva tried to work out what Balthazar was trying to get her to do.

Eva nodded her head and closed her eyes to concentrate. Slowly the flames surrounding Balthazar started to die down allowing him freedom. Balthazar then went to help Eva but she had idea's of her own, "Go on, what are you waiting for? kill Crowley and get Meg, Sam and Dean out of here!" Eva tried to get to her feet as she spoke, but instead fell seeming tired and weaker that before. "Now where would the fun in that be?" Eva looked up at Balthazar unimpressed, "just get Sam and Dean free please? I'll deal with Crowley." Balthazar not wanting to argue finally came over to help us out of the chairs. "Hey, jack ass!" The three of us all turned round to see Eva, by some miracle, standing up clenching both fists looking directly at Crowley. Crowley gave a cold smiled then broke into a laugh as he moved Meg in front of him and held the knife to her throat using her as a hostage.

"Let her go Crowley, and no one has to get hurt." Said Balthazar tip toeing towards Crowley. "A, a, a!" Crowley said pushing the knife against Meg's neck, "one more step and darling demon here will drop to the floor dead!" Balthazar halted and tried to compose himself. I stood beside him just in case he went for Crowley again. "Run while you can!" Meg demanded, trying to keep the knife as far away from her throat as possible. "Crowley let her go damn it!" Piped up Eva still standing alone, "I'll only let her go if you sign on the dotted line and work for me." Silence fell. "Eva, don't." Said Dean in a panicked helpless voice, Eva looked between us and Crowley. The thoughts that must have been running through her head must have been something along the lines of well looks like it's between a rock and a hard place for me. We all held our breath as the decision was left to Eva. Slowly she relaxed, Dean let out a sigh of disbelief as he shook his head. Crowley knowing that he had won Eva over let go of Meg and pushed her into Balthazar. "What are the conditions that go with this deal?" Asked Eva as both she and Crowley started to walk towards each other, "You will never be allowed to see Sam, Dean or anyone you ever cared about again and you will do as I say. Within reason, of course." The two of them paused as they came face to face. Eva glanced down at the demon's blade still in Crowley's hand then back up towards him. Then the unthinkable happened. In one last ditch attempt Eva went for the knife to use against Crowley and got into a struggle with him. We all jumped forward to help but we were too late.

At the same time Crowley and Eva paused and looked down then back at each other. "Nice try..." Crowley said, stepping back from Eva who let out a yelp as Crowley twisted the handle of the demons knife. Crowley disappeared into thin air leaving Eva standing with the knife stuck deep into her stomach. Blood had already started to seep through her top and drip from her mouth. Her eyes rolled back as she collapsed, Meg froze in shock as the rest of us ran towards Eva. When we got to her she was still breathing but was losing a lot of blood. Balthazar tried to remove the knife but Eva screamed out in pain as her veins pulsed orange underneath her skin. "We have to get her to a hospital, now!" Said Balthazar, "What about Meg?" Asked Dean looking over his shoulder, "I'll take care of her." We all looked up as a familiar voice spoke. Castiel rushed to Eva and kneeled down to hold Eva in his arms. Eva gave a faint smile looking up at Cas before coughing up more blood. "Cas you go with Eva to the hospital and I'll stay with Meg." Balthazar put his hand on Castiel's shoulder and gave a warm smile then left the group to go to assist Meg. Knowing Eva didn't have long to live Castiel flew to the nearest hospital with me, Dean and Eva.

When we arrived at the hospital the staff were a little startled as you can imagine. We kind of explain the situation but left out all the angel and demons detail as we handed Eva over into intensive care. Sadly, that was the last time we would ever see Eva alive. The next time we seen a doctor was because they had some bad news to tell us. "Sorry." They said, "We were just too late, Eva had lost too much blood and with all the injuries she had injured, her heart couldn't cope." The doctors didn't show any remorse when telling us this which only infuriated Dean more resulting in him almost taking a swing at one of the staff. Not wanting to make a scene or be asked any questions, we left the hospital and arranged for us to pick up Eva's body from the coroner tomorrow morning. "That's it! Crowley get's toasted tonight-for real this time! Cas you with me?"

"Dean, hold up! We have no idea where Crowley is and it's getting late. Crowley will learn his lesson all in good time, trust me." Dean wasn't in the mood for waiting as you can imagine. "Trust you?" He said, "Trust us? That's what Eva did and look where it got her Sam! Dead! Back me up here Cas... Cas?" During our heated argument Castiel didn't speak or do anything, apart from look up at the stars in the sky in deep thought. "No one is going after Crowley." He said in his deep voice. "Are you kidding me Cas? That dick just killed your kid and screwed us all over?" Castiel turned round to face us with a sad sorry look on his face. "We all have our time Dean, and Crowley's is not now."

"Bu-." Before Dean could question Castiel, the angel flew off without warning. "Freakin angels!" Shouted Dean kicking the side of the Impala (which Balthazar had retrieved for us after seeing to Meg) "Comon Dean, let's go home and come back tomorrow. Ok?" After calming down we headed back home to Bobby to break the bad news to him. The next day we arrived at the coroners as planned but made a shocking discovery!

As we walked in everything seemed normal. The coroner took us to see Eva's body and left us alone while he went to collect Eva's stuff. Dean started to pull out the silver slab which we were expecting to find Eva lying on. But she wasn't there, no body-nothing! "Um, did you pull out the right-"

"Yes I pulled out the right slab Sam! Hey you!" Said Dean turning to the coroner as he entered back into the room, "yes?" The man said, "Where is the body?"

"Why it...oh, that's odd?" The coroner checked his notes and with the other members of staff leaving us standing, waiting. There was no explination to the mysterious disappearence of Eva's body. It was just like she had woke up and walked off, even her personal items were missing; the necklace that Castiel gave her, her clothes. Everything! We left the coroners scratching our heads as to what had happened, was she alive and still out there? Who knows...I guess only time will tell.

A.N-So, what did you think?Is Eva alive or is she not? Part:2 will be comming out very very soon (possibly by tonight) Hope you enjoyed and please keep reading!Please review too as this is much appreciated, thanks as always!
