Chapter 17

Dean could smell the horrendous scent of decay, sex, and death as Benny's truck pulled up to Crowley's mill. Benny parked the truck out of sight and got out of the front of it. He came around the back, checking for cameras. Luckily there were none where he had parked. The last thing he needed was Crowley to see this. He opened up the back of the truck bed and motioned for Dean and Anna to get out. Dean stepped down onto the cold, damp, cobblestones first and helped Anna down.

"Alright now listen," Benny spoke softly. Dean could understand why. "I know you volunteered for this, but I can't guarantee what will happen to you in there. You have to get on Crowley's good side; lord knows he has a tiny one. If you get on it, maybe, just maybe you can get out alive and you can get others out alive."

"Good side," Anna scoffed. "No such thing."

"Look," Benny pointed to her. "Just do what you have to, to survive. I've seen far too many Omegas go through this place either thinking they're the shit or far less and come out more submissive and beaten down than they ever were before. I've seen Alphas go insane from places like this. You two, based on what I've heard, will most likely be fine. Still, I wouldn't take many chances."

"I'm sure we'll be as fine as we can be in a place like this Benny," Dean spoke up. "Now, how are playing this off?"

"You two," Benny pointed to both of them and then himself. "Are the strays I picked up off the streets on another side of town and I'm the indifferent worker of Crowley's. You two are either afraid of me or hate me, take your pick. Although I suggest being afraid. Now, you two need to look like you were on the streets."

Dean let out his wings, they were in pretty good shape for supposedly living on the street, but he could easily make the rest of him look ill fated. He took notice of the putrid water dripping from the drainage pipes from the mill and walked over to one. He cupped his hands and caught some of the sludge water running from them in it. He then, grimaced, and ran his hands through his hair, making his hair disgusting smelling and grimy. He shuddered and gagged, but looked over at a sharp looking object. He picked it up and nicked his skin a few times in various places, making it look as though he'd gotten in scuffles. The scars on his face from his time at the pound only added to the effect.

He walked back over to Anna and motioned towards the sludge water pipe. She rolled her eyes, but then walked over and repeated Dean's actions. She shuddered harder than he had when he'd done it. He handed her the sharp object to cut and nick herself with. She accepted the offer and repeated his actions once again, but as an added effect she grabbed her hair and held it in her hand as if she were about to put it in a ponytail. At the last minute, after shutting her eyes tight, she cut it in one clean swipe. Her long auburn red hair cascaded onto the cobblestones below. She was left with a badly done pixie cut.

"So I look more like a stray," she explained her actions. "My hair was too well kept to be not owned by anyone."

Dean was surprised by this; he'd expected Anna to put up a fight by now with what they had to do to get into the mill, but surprisingly she was alright with it. There was a fire burning behind her eyes, a determined fire. It was one that wasn't about to be put out by trivial things, but that scared Dean because he was terrified that when they entered the mill, he'd never see that fire again.

"You two ready?" Benny asked.

"As ready as we'll ever be Benny." Anna replied. Dean nodded in response. Benny sighed and quickly grabbed two leashes and mill issued collars from the back of his truck. He slipped one around each of their necks. Anna winced. Dean swallowed hard.

"Just go along with whatever I do," Benny whispered to them. "My goal is to get you in unharmed and hopefully keep you relatively unharmed if not harmed at all. I'm not trying to scare you or hurt you, but if I do I'm sorry. Now, you two know what to do?"

"Yes." They both said and got into position. Benny then sighed, sucked in a deep breath of air, gave both of them a look saying "forgive me" and tugged hard at their necks to lead them inside the belly of the beast.

"What do we have here?" Crowley smirked as Benny dragged Dean and Anna into the office. Benny threw them to the ground, Anna fell on her stomach, but Dean caught himself before he hit the ground. It was like ice shattered in his kneecaps, but Dean gritted his teeth so hard he was afraid they would break. Before he looked up at what they were up against. "They're beautiful Benny."

"I found the bastard and this scrawny bitch searching the alleys for food," Benny replied, in a gruff voice. "I thought they'd add some color to this place."

"Surely they will," Crowley walked from behind his messy, paper covered, desk and over towards both of them. He looked over at Anna first; her head was bowed towards the ground, refusing to look at Crowley, a typical sign of Omega submissiveness. "Let's see…"

Crowley's deep brown eyes met Dean's and Dean glared at him. He refused to look away. Crowley gave him a look and yanked his chin towards his face. Dean grunted and Crowley worked open his mouth. He turned his face from side to side and inspected his teeth. Crowley then let him go and Dean licked his lips, feeling violated.

"He looks like he's in fine shape," Crowley went around back of Dean and started rubbing in between his shoulder blades, forcing him to reveal his wings. Dean grunted and rolled his shoulders. Crowley looked over his oil glands and Dean felt especially violated. He growled, then he remembered what Benny had said, but it was too late.

"He's got spunk too," Crowley continued. "But I suppose that's typical of Alphas, virginal ones at that."

"Kind of hard to get some," Dean spoke up; Benny was trying not to say anything although he wished he'd stop. "On the street, but God knows I'd probably get more STDs here than from some Omega on the streets."

"He speaks," Crowley smirked, an almost playful look in his eyes. "Interesting, you know Benny I've very few Alphas talk back to me. Only one Omega and he was quickly…dealt with."

"You're not suggesting what I think you are Crowley," Benny asked. "I mean he only just got here? Shouldn't we start him somewhere lower first then work his way up?"

"I don't know Benny," Crowley circled Dean again, this time brushing his hand over one of Dean's glands. Dean growled louder and spun his head, snapping at Crowley with his teeth. He left his teeth, bared, afterwards. There was fire in his eyes too, but it burned brighter than Anna. No one had ever touched his glands before and surely he didn't want the first person to be someone as filthy as Crowley. Crowley jumped in surprise, but what followed next was an interested look and a small smirk.

"I think he'll do fine Benny," Crowley strolled back over to his desk. "Although it would be nice to have a few…others like him."

Dean breathed through the rage, Anna squeaked when Crowley slammed his hand to his desk and Benny gulped. Crowley came over to Benny and whispered something in his ear, then turned his back and walked away out the door. Benny closed his eyes and sighed hard; picking up the leashes attached to Dean and Anna and dragged the pair out the door as well.

He dragged them to the lines of cages where Omegas and their fledglings cried out in agony, pain, and terror. Scared, shaking Omegas peered out from behind the bars of the cages and up at Benny. They all somehow calmed a bit in his presence, now that Dean knew who he really stood with in the angelic world, he understood why. Benny stopped at an empty cage and unclipped Anna's leash and collar before shoving her into the cage and locking the door. Anna gripped the bars and looked up at Benny, terrified. He sighed again and gave her a look that screamed "forgive me" before tugging on Dean's leash and walking away from her. Dean looked back once and gave her a sympathetic look too.

Once Benny and Dean reached where Crowley kept the Alphas, Benny led Dean down to the furthest cage. He tossed him inside in a similar fashion as he'd done to Anna, but he leaned in close to the bars.

"Are you insane," Benny hissed. "Do you even know what Crowley does to angels who sass him like that?!"

"Obviously this," Dean replied. "Because here's where I am, preparing for my fate."

"You idiot," Benny whisper shouted. "You just bought yourself a one way ticket to death, sure Crowley intends to have you breed, but you know what else he's gonna do to your sorry ass?"

"No…" Dean started to say.

"He's going to put you into a fighting ring you fucking idiot," Benny exclaimed. "You're going to entered into Angel Fights!"

As Benny walked away, Dean felt his stomach drop to his feet.
