Hey guys! Sorry this took so long to get out but I wrote the whole thing and my computer got messed up and I lost it all so I had to re-write all of it...so...yea...anyways, same as always I don't own spn or its characters but the story line for this I do own soooo yea. Remember to leave me lots of comments and tell me what you think! Love you fiveever!
"Why do you think you're a burden?" I continued to poke at my pie while the worry grew in her eyes but before I had a chance to answer her question we heard the bells of the door jingle and in walked three boys with looks on their faces which were by no means happy.
"Hey kid." Dean said walking over to me with a look on his face which I swear was meant to kill.
"I'm sorry!" I pushed the container full of pie into his chest.
"I shouldn't have taken off like that I know, but I just couldn't handle it. I got you pie!...if that helps any..." Dean looked at me and then to the pie which was pressed against his chest. He repeated this action a few times before shrugging and grabbing the container of pie.
"Well no one's hurt and you did get us pie so I guess we can call it square." He smiled and sat down at the counter shoveling the pie into his mouth. I was utterly shocked at how easy that was, and apparently so were the other two boys as they stood by the doorway squinting at Dean dumbfounded.
"So anyone gunna fill me in on what exactly I've been pulled into?" Jody looked over at Sam who simply smiled and took a seat next to her. Sam explained everything from Cas bringing me here to me taking off as well as what I was and why they were so worried when I took off.
"So wait a darn minute here." Jody turned in her chair to face me.
"Your life is in immediate danger and you're first instinct was to take off on your own? Wow you really fit in with these boys hunh." I laughed a bit but quickly realized she didn't mean it in a good way.
"So what are you guys gunna do? Do you have any idea how to take the power out of her or something like that?" Sam shook his head.
"We honestly don't know much. We've never encountered anything like her before but we're looking."
"In Kenny's world these creatures are not much different from normal human beings due to the lack of magic but now that she's here I'm not sure what kind of effect our world could have on her."
"Well why doesn't she stay with me then? No offence but you boys tend to attract trouble. If she's with me she should blend in and be harder to find right?" Sam sat straight up thinking to himself and then he began to nod his head.
"Well...it does make sense. She is still just a human, so if she's surrounded by other people maybe it'll make her harder for anything bad to find." Dean nodded his head in agreement but Cas looked far less comfortable with the idea.
"Sam, she is my responsibility, if anything happens to her..."
"Hey, I can take care of one kid." Jody cut him off. Dean walked over and put a hand on Cas's shoulder.
"Don't worry so much Cas. Jody's a good guy, we can trust her." I stood up and began walking over to Cas but as soon as I put weight on my right foot I felt shooting pain and nearly fell over.
"Shit!" I grabbed ahold of one of the tables and prevented a really embarrassing fall.
"Are you ok!?" Sam was up and at my side within seconds with an arm around my waist propping me up.
"Y-yea-I'm uh...I'm fine thanks." I wiggled in his arms. I wasn't used to physical contact and it was 100x worse knowing it was Sam freaking Winchester. I could feel his strong arm running from the upper corner of my back right down landing his hand almost directly on my waist.
"Are you hurt or something? What happened?" I looked up at Sam still trying to wiggle my way out of his grip.
"Yea, I'm fine I just...well...I got my anti-possession symbol done." Sam Dean and Cas all looked me over and confusion flooded their faces when they saw no symbol. I lifted my sore foot and wiggled it in the air.
"It's on my foot. Only thing is that my foot is now swollen so its gunna be kinda hard to walk around for the next few days."
"Perfect!" Jody said but when everyone looked at her confused she elaborated.
"I mean, if she can't walk she can't take off right? She's a kid I'll sit her in front of the t.v and she'll be good there for a while."
"Guys, seriously, I'm not a kid." I tried in my defense but none of them seemed to care so I just let it go. I continued to wiggle until Sam looked down at me confused.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea, it's just...you're uh...you're arm..." He looked at the arm which was around my waist.
"I'm sorry...did you want to fall?" I looked at him slightly annoyed that he was so clueless.
"Well...no...Thank you for helping but uhh...I'm good now so..."
"Hey Sammy, She doesn't like you man." Dean began to laugh and my heart dropped when I saw the slightly upset look on Sam's face
"No! No! That's not it I swear! It's just I'm not used to guys and ..and...and you're Sam freaking Winchester man!" I talked frantically but then quickly threw my hands over my mouth as my face turned bright red.
"Oh god" I said under my breath.
"Ok, never mind. She REALLY likes you Sammy." Dean laughed out even harder as my face grew brighter and brighter. Eventually I simply dropped my head and whispered,
"I hate you Dean." Sam must have heard me because he chuckled and I could feel the arm which was holding me up tighten just the slightest amount.
"Anyways, I best be taking her home now. Give me a call if you find any information ok boys."
"No problem Jody, thanks." Dean spoke and Sam's arm slowly, yet reluctantly, loosened its grip on my waist.
"Are you gunna be ok walking outside? Do you need help?" I looked up and gave him a soft smile.
"I think I should be ok, thank you though." He removed his arm slowly and as I tried to take a step forward I tried a little too hard to walk normally and ended up tripping and grabbing onto his arm again.
"Ok...so maybe I need a little help." Sam laughed and held out his arm for me to grab onto.
"Is this better?" I looked up at him and smiled.
"Yea, thanks" Sam walked me outside and he helped prop me up into Jody's truck. As soon as I was in and began to buckle up Cas was at the truck window.
"If you get into trouble or need help for any reason at all just call for me ok?" Cas looked like a father letting their daughter go out on a first date and I had to hold back a chuckle.
"Thanks Cas. I think I should be ok though. I can handle myself." I smiled at him but he simply looked back at me with a face full of worry. As he began to walk away I called out to him and he turned around instantly.
"So...you really knew Annie?" Cas smiled.
"Yes, and he loved you very much. I'm sorry that I couldn't protect him better but I promise that I will protect you properly." I smiled and he smiled back softly before walking over to join the other boys. I turned to look out the front window as Jody entered the truck and started the engine.
"Ready to go kid?" I nodded and minutes later we were driving down the road. The sun was just beginning to set and the sky was full of breath taking blues, purples, and reds. As we drove I quickly got the feeling that something was wrong. We drove to the edge of the town and continued onwards. The blood quickly drained from my face as I had a terrible realization. The boys had said that since I was now in this world that the bad guys had more than likely already sensed my power and could possibly be on their way. I think that they misjudged. I looked over at Jody who continued driving straight through into the next town and stopped at an old abandoned warehouse.
"Why is it always an abandoned warehouse?" The driver turned to me confused.
"You're not going to ask what we're doing here?" I looked the driver straight in the eyes and spoke very matter of factly.
"You're not Jody Mills. I realized as soon as we drove out of town that something was wrong."
"So I suppose this is the part where you start fighting back eh kid?" I shook my head.
"Why bother? You're already fully aware that I can't walk properly so there's no way I'd get far." As I spoke an idea popped into my head and I decided to role with it.
"Besides you need me. The boys may not know how to harness my power, but I do." The driver looked at me confused.
"Oh yea?"
"Well obviously. Why would I bother telling them? They're mere humans and how do I know that they wouldn't just kill me as soon as I told them?" The driver looked at me impressed.
"Smart girl. So, are you going to cooperate with me then?"
"First tell me what you are. I would assume shapeshifter, am I correct?" The driver clapped her hands slowly.
"You really are a smart girl, well let's go inside and get this party started." I opened the door and slowly limped my way into the old building silently praying nonstop for Castiel to come and get me. I had decided to go with my in the heat of the moment plan but I had no idea where to go with it. We reached the inside of the building and the shapeshifter led me into a small room with concrete walls and no windows and quickly shoved me inside.
"Now, you stay here and be a good girl, I'm going to go get some preparations out of the way and then our fun can begin." The shifter slammed the door behind them and I sat on the cold hard floor trying to think of how they took out shifters on the show.
"Ok so...I'm pretty sure for shifters it was...uhh...Silver! Right ok so...I have...no silver...fan-freakin-tastic." I placed my face in my hands and unconsciously began to play with my necklace.
"Wait a minute!" I undid the bead which held my necklace in place and removed it from my neck staring at the pendant. It was a small silver feather.
"Alright ...well this is by no means a weapon, but it's silver so it's better than nothing." I heard the door being opened and quickly shoved the necklace up my sleeve. The door swung open and a man walked in grabbing me by the arm and lifting me to my feet.
"So, this is what you actually look like hunh?" The shifter smiled down at me.
"Try not to be distracted by my pretty face kid, let's go." He brought me into an open area and sat me in a chair securing my wrists with leather straps.
"Alright, so how does this work hunh? I drink your blood and then I can kill angels? That seems a little too easy." I laughed and decided to just improvise something.
"Yea, it is too easy. You didn't really think that was all there was to it did you?" The shifter grabbed my face with his hand and leaned down so that we were almost nose to nose.
"Ok, smartass. So how do I do it then?" I scoffed
"I'm not sure a lowly shifter like you could handle it honestly." He jerked his hand away throwing my face sideways which sent a shooting pain down my neck as my head turned.
"Well if you think you can handle it I can tell you." The shifter placed both of his hands on the arms of the chair placing his face once again just centimeters away from mine.
"Try me kid."
"You know, if you're not strong enough, it could kill you. Willing to risk it?" His eyes widened but then narrowed with the challenge.
"Proceed."
"Silver." He looked at me confused.
"What?" I looked at him raising the corners of my mouth slightly in a testing grin.
"In order to harness the power of a guardian angel's soulmate you need to not only inject their blood into your system but also the one thing which you're weak to. The blood makes you almost immortal and heals you from within but it hurts like hell and you're body needs to be able to withstand it in order for you to gain the power. Think you can do it?" The shifters eyes narrowed even further searching my eyes more than likely trying to tell if I was lying but then he stood up straight and walked over to a small table grabbing a large needle.
"Just watch me." He jabbed the needle into my arm and proceeded to extract a large vile of my blood.
"You need to inject the blood exactly 3 minutes after the silver or it won't work by the way." The shifter's eyes narrowed on me as he placed the vile of blood on the table.
"Alright kid." After those words he walked out of the building and I was alone in the damp darkness.
"Cas! Cas, god fucking damn you get the hell over here and save me!" I tried to call for him but either this place was warded from angels or he had decided I was more effort than I was worth. I chose to believe the first option so I quickly got to work attempting to find a way to break the bonds which held me to the chair. I tried for a half an hour to get out but it proved to be nearly impossible and then I heard someone walking towards me through the building. Soon enough I saw the shifter walk over to the table with a second vile of what looked like melted down silver as well as a timer.
"You've got to be kidding me" I thought to myself "Is this actually working!?"
The shifter grabbed the vile of silver and after fitting it into the needle promptly shoved it in his arm squeezing the contents into his veins never breaking eye contact with my as he did it. He started the timer and within second was on the floor screaming in pain, within second of him falling to the floor he stopped screaming and was completely silent and still.
"Well that worked well..." I looked down at the dead shifter and had a quick and terrible realization. Now that he was dead I had no way to get out of the chair which held me in place. I was alone and no one knew I was here.
"I'm sure eventually the guys will clue in that I'm not with Jody but how are they gunna be able to find me in some random building a whole town over!? Fucking hell!" I began to scream and pull at the restraints but it didn't do much other than hurt my wrists so after about 20 minutes I gave up and sat still and silent trying to figure out some kind of plan. I pushed the necklace from my sleeve and into my hand attempting to use the end of the charm as a kind of dagger, it wasn't sharp by any means but it was the best thing I had so I made due with what I could. After a few hours of digging at the leather restraint with the charm I was able to pull my arm free and, ripping the restraint, quickly undid the other lifting myself out of the chair. As I began walking to the door I heard footsteps headed straight towards me and quickly ducked behind a large stack of wooden pallets. Best case scenario it was the guys, worst case scenario it was friends of the shifter, or possibly something even worse. Sadly the latter was correct. As the footsteps got closer a figure walked into the light and over to the body lying on the floor poking at it with his foot.
"Damn. He was supposed to catch the girl and deliver her to me. How the hell was he killed by one weak little human." I threw my hands over my mouth and silently spoke the name of the man whom I knew all too well to be just about the last person I wanted to see in this situation.
"Crowley"
