I'm sorry for the super long delay, a bunch of stuff happened at once and this story got left (far) behind. If there's anyone still reading this, I hope to update more regularly now and hope to finish the story and have it posted within the next two months. I don't own Haven or Supernatural.
One moment Audrey was standing in front of the church with Nathan and the next she was inside. Somewhere a gunshot could be heard, but it was muffled along with the cuss words that followed.
"Where are we?" Audrey asked as she went into cop mode. She crossed her arms and looked at her brother expectantly.
"Inside the church. We haven't much time before your boy toy figures it out."
"Don't talk about Nathan like that!" She snapped and the light above them exploded. Audrey looked at it in confusion and uttered a quiet 'oops'.
"Fret not dear sister, I like your fiery attitude. I always have admired the fact that you care so much. But heed with caution for with love comes anger and hatred." Lucifer said.
"I think I've got a handle on my emptions. Apparently I've been pretending to be a human for a while now." Audrey replied.
"Yes, but have you ever been in love before, dear sister? For I fear that you are now."
"I don't know what you're talking about," she said stubbornly. "Why are you so afraid of love?" She asked confused.
"Because love causes people to do stupid things," he answered darkly, "specifically you." He gave her a pointed look, "when I feel you weren't far behind, and what did your love for me get you but a painful death at my very blade?"
"Do you know what happened?" She quietly asked.
"I know no details, but I'm sure you were summoned and your compassion is why you are still stuck here. It appears that every twenty seven years you are re-summoned. I do not yet know where you go in the years between or why you never remember anything upon your return." He said sadly.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll figure this out." Audrey said trying to sound more optimistic than she actually felt.
"You don't mean that." Her brother responded.
"You always did know me best…I think." She said with a small smile. "Why all the cloak and dagger stuff to talk to me?"
"I do not know whom, but someone you trust has betrayed you. I believe that is why you're trapped in this never ending cycle."
"And how do I know it was not you who betrayed me?" Audrey asked giving Lucifer a pointed look.
"There's my sister," he said with a smile, "always looking at all of the possibilities." His tone turned serious once more, "but I have no motive to send you away, I am in need of your help."
"You need my help for what?" She asked curious.
"I seek your forgiveness," he replied with tears in his eyes.
"You already have it." Audrey said.
"No, I want your forgiveness when you fully remember. And I need your help so that I may find redemption." He said the last part with such conviction Audrey was surprised he was not yet redeemed.
"Of course I'll help you," she said smiling.
Her brother smiled and hugged her once ore as the door to the church creaked open.
"Remember, trust no one." Lucifer said as he released her from his embrace.
"Audrey?" Nathan called out as he opened the door to the office.
"Remember dear sister, try and keep your heart for it is your fatal flaw." Lucifer said as he disappeared leaving a confused Audrey looking to where her brother once stood.
Nathan entered the room with his gun drawn, ready to face the devil for Audrey's sake. He quickly assisted the situation and took in her confused expression…she seemed to have that look a lot lately.
"Parker are you okay?" he asked holstering his gun.
She answered him with a nod, she was still distracted and trying to figure out what the hell just happened.
"Well, what did he want to talk about?"
"I think he was trying to give me some brotherly advise," Audrey answered as her phone started to ring.
After Dave had left the Harold with some information on a Troubled person for Audrey to help, Vince continued to look through the archives so he could create a listed of the Troubled. Never before had anyone tried to compile such a list, not only did doing so infringe upon the private lives of Haven's citizens, but it also put those who were identified as Troubled in danger should the list fall into the wrong hands. All Vince could really do was go through the archives and look for events that transpired when the Troubles were in town. It was during those times that the town experienced numerous gas line problems as well as rare weather events, but seeing how Vince wrote these lies to cover up what really happened, it was not hard for him to get a list of Troubled and suspected Troubled. When he examined his findings he saw that most of the Troubled came from a family that had at least one ancestor that was afflicted. However, Vince was shocked to note that all the Troubled could trace their ancestry back to at least one of twenty people that helped settle the town back in the 1500s. he called Dave to report his findings.
"Where are you?" He asked when his brother answered his phone.
"I'm heading over to the church to give Audrey the information about Jeffery Davis." Dave replied.
"It'll have to wait," Vince said looking back to his notes, "we need to talk to the angels."
"Why?" Dave asked confused as to what was so important it couldn't wait ten minutes.
"I found a connection between the Troubled and the original settlers."
"Alright, I'll find out where they are and come get you." Dave said as he realized the importance of Vince's discovery.
"What about Audrey?" Vince asked concerned about the lack of busy work for her to do.
"I'll call her," Dave said, "just be ready to go when I get there."
Vince hung up the phone, gathered his notes, and went to wait by the door. As an afterthought he put the 'closed' sign on the door, it didn't matter much, Audrey was the only one who every stopped by.
