Brooklyn and Castiel come face to face with Colin and Ciara….
Darius hurried up the stairs without breaking a sweat until he reached the landing for the ground floor of the auction house. Turning the knob and pushing the door open he saw the preparations being made for Friday's auction. Darius made his way past the area where the sales took place and through the main opening turning left to head up the stairway marked Employees Only. He took two steps at a time as he wanted Colin to see this.
Reaching the second floor he saw a younger red haired man with a medium build and flashing green eyes sprawled out on the couch. He looked up seeing Darius heading towards the door that led to Colin's private office.
"Darius" the man greeted.
"Matthias" Darius responded back in kind as he entered his boss' private quarters.
Darius entered the plush office lined with paintings and decorated with large inviting pieces of furniture. In front of the window was a large antique desk to which a handsome blonde haired man with brown eyes that betrayed his true age was seated. On the desk was Ciara in a tight tank and short skirt. The blonde man was on his cell with a cross look upon his face obviously pissed at the person on the other end.
"I don't care, Anderson, we need to be sure that we keep those fucking hunters off our asses! Well, tap my contacts in the law enforcement circles and other political rings. They will be more than happy to help you if they wish to continue seeing their annual donations from me. Fine, keep me informed." The man slammed his phone shut sighing in disgust.
Ciara ran her fingers through his spiky blonde hair causing him to relax beneath her touch. Darius stood tall waiting to be addressed as the man looked up at his lead hunter.
"Darius, you're back. Is everything alright in the field?"
"Excellent, Colin, in fact I wanna show you the two latest arrivals that just came in" Darius said grinning widely. Colin looked at the demon knowing that this had to be good for him to personally come up like this. Rising from his chair and taking Ciara by the hand, the vampires followed the demon down towards the holding cells. They took the back passageways as to avoid the commotion downstairs taking in the solitude that came with the back secret halls.
The trio headed down the dark corridor until Darius stopped at one of the many steel doors unlocking it and pulling it open. Allowing the Elder Vampire and his mate to enter first, Darius followed shutting the door.
"Well, what do we have here?" Colin said quietly as he approached the sleeping angels. He felt his mouth creep upward into a grin upon realizing who was lying on the bed. Quickly he looked back at Darius who stood there with his hands behind his back observing Colin's reaction.
"Darius, are they…?" Darius nodded his head.
"We captured the last daughter of Gabriel and her angelic lover last night in Louisiana. Seems they were looking for Gabriel."
Colin looked to face Ciara seeing her grinning at the two forms on the bed. She had heard stories about Brooklyn Ravenwood as how she was the last daughter of Gabriel and that she was turned into an angel to save her life. The man was Castiel. The same Castiel that pulled Dean Winchester from Hell and fell in love with Brooklyn Ravenwood. This was just too good to be true. They would fetch them a high price that was for sure.
Castiel opened his eyes seeing the three figures standing before them. He could sense two were vampires as the other was Darius. Instinctively he pulled Brooklyn closer to him protecting her as best he could with the manacles on. Colin saw the movement and approached the angels until he was hovering above them. The Elder Vampire merely smirked at him as he leaned down until he was face to face with the angel.
"So, we finally meet, Castiel. I was expecting you to be bigger considering all of the things I have heard about you" Colin could smell the angel's blood causing his fangs to start to lower. He extended a long finger tracing the angel's neck feeling his pulse beneath his finger. Castiel shuddered at the vampire's caress feeling the taint of evil upon the creature. Colin pulled back turning to Ciara and Darius nodding in approval as he turned back around to be greeted by Brooklyn kicking him square in the solar plexus. Colin was knocked backwards landing on his back. Ciara and Darius were immediately by his side lifting him to his feet. Ciara started to lunge for the angel but Colin's arm shot out holding her back.
"No, Ciara" he said flatly. She glared at Colin then back at Brooklyn who was now being restrained by Castiel.
"Don't you ever touch him again, you blood sucking bottom dweller!" Brooklyn shouted as she fought against her angel to have another shot at the vampire. No one touched him and got away with it! Colin was rather amused with the auburn haired seraph with the anger and hatred flashing in those bright grey eyes. She had a lot of attitude, energy and power and he found that alluring. She was definitely going to make one of his customers very happy. Some of them would see breaking her as a challenge and they never backed down from a challenge.
Colin waltzed up to the struggling angel grinning at her. She had the Archangel's spirit and determination that was for sure. He avoided her kicks grabbing them and holding them in place with one arm. Brooklyn found she couldn't move her legs as Colin grabbed her face locking his brown eyes to her grey ones. She found herself becoming tired and groggy as he imposed his will upon her. Castiel pulled her away from the vampire as he placed her on the bed protecting her.
"Stay back, vampire" he warned. Colin put his hands up in surrender as he backed up. Castiel knew the vampire was mocking them as the creature was grinning in a sinister manner. This only caused him to hold Brooklyn closer to him. Castiel never took his eyes off Colin as he left along with Ciara and Darius.
"That little bitch is going to pay for striking you" Ciara declared as they reached Colin's office. He looked at her seeing the rage burning in her eyes. It seemed the angel had struck a nerve with his mate when she attacked him.
"No, Ciara, we will leave that to her new master whoever that may be. Besides, it would be very unbecoming of you to do such a thing" Colin said in an admonishing tone. Ciara nodded head as she still seethed below the surface. She wanted to make Brooklyn suffer for her insubordination. No one hit her Colin and lived to see another day. But as she looked into those ancient brown orbs she knew it would be fruitless to do such a thing. Colin kissed her before he said softly "You should rest my dear for you are weary and besides I have an important personal call to make."
Ciara turned to leave the office leaving Colin alone. The vampire grabbed his phone and punched in a very familiar number.
"Yes" the dark voice answered.
"It's me, listen I have some new arrivals that you will be very interested in" Colin said.
"I'm listening" the voice responded.
"Come to the auction house and I'll show you."
"I will be there in one hour" the line went silent as Colin leaned back in his chair smiling to himself as he knew that his visitor will be very interested in the angels. This auction would be their best yet.
An hour later came a knock on the door. Colin looked up to see the raven haired vampire enter.
"Judas" Colin said coming around the desk to greet his Sire. Judas smiled at the younger vampire. Colin was his youngest progeny, the last to be chosen.
"Take me to these new arrivals you were gushing about over the phone, Colin" Judas instructed as he led his Sire down the back stairs towards the basement area. Colin could barely keep in his excitement as they stopped at the cell door. Colin unlocked and pulled the door open allowing Judas to step in first. As the Master Vampire approached the pair he immediately recognized the angels on the bed. Brooklyn gasped in fright as she saw Judas closing in, holding Castiel tight as the vampire stopped before the bed eyeing both angels.
"Where did you find them?" Judas inquired turning back to Colin.
"Darius and Malus got them in Louisiana while they were searching for Gabriel."
The Archangel…He's here?
Yes, along with Raphael…
Judas grinned as he turned around leaving the cell and heading back up towards the auction house. Colin turned and left as well, leaving Castiel and Brooklyn alone once again. Castiel encircled her with his manacled arms holding her against his body. Brooklyn breathed deeply as she leaned into him.
"Do you think anyone will find us, Cas?"
Castiel stroked her hands thinking how to answer her. A part of him kept the faith while the other part held doubt.
"Keep the faith, Brook. We will be found, I promise" he leaned in kissing the top of her head. The angels sat there holding tight to one another in silence.
Judas stood in the hallway as Colin locked the door double checking the steel lock. Turning to his sire, Colin saw a pleased look etched on Judas' face. The vampire reminded himself to reward Darius handsomely for his efforts as Judas stepped into Colin's personal space.
"You did well, Colin" he said touching his progeny's face before leaving. "I'll be at the auction Friday" he said as he left. Colin hurried back up the stairs for he had much to do before Friday.
The phone was on its sixth ring when Brady dove for it knocking it off the stand.
"Shit! Hold on! Don't hang up!" He yelled as he grabbed the receiver. "Hello?"
"Brady? Hey it's Bobby."
"Bobby, what's up?"
"I don't want alarm you or Markus but I got at call from a state trooper friend of mine in Louisiana and they found Brooklyn's truck abandoned. Is she alright? Have either one of you heard from her recently?" His voice laced with concern.
"Abandoned!? No, neither one of us has heard from her or Castiel. What were they doing in Louisiana!?"
"That I can't tell you, Brady. But I'm headed down there to Phoenix. Something big is going on and we need to talk."
"I'll tell Markus. Bobby, what the Hell is going on?" Brady was on the verge of panic by this time as no one had seen Brooklyn or Castiel and now her truck was found with no driver.
"Not over the phone, Brady. I'll see you in a few days" Bobby hung up leaving Brady in a daze.
Brooklyn and Castiel were MIA and Bobby wouldn't say what the fuck was going on. The hunter slumped in the chair still feeling as if he was lost in a fog of confusion. How was he going to tell Markus that his daughter and her angel were missing? Brady sat there numb all over unable to move as it sunk in his best friend and one constant person in his life was gone. As he remained there in the chair he closed his eyes as he grabbed his cell phone and punched in a familiar cell number.
The phone vibrated on the stand rattling against the phone and alarm clock. Dean hurried to grab it banging his knee into the corner of bed causing him to curse and swear as he reached his phone.
"Brady, hey man" Dean was surprised to hear from Brady making his heart start to pound.
"Dean, I got some bad news. Brooklyn and Castiel are missing. Cops found her truck in Louisiana abandoned this morning" Brady heard the breathing on the other end knowing Dean was not taking this well at all.
"Bobby let me know about the truck and he's headed here to Phoenix. Where are you and Tariel at?" Dean rubbed his eyes with thumb and finger trying to get himself back together.
"We're in Salt Lake City. We'll finish up here and then head straight there. Was there anything else that Bobby had to tell you?" Dean pleaded with Brady hoping he had anything else no matter how minute it was.
"Nothing he would say over the phone, Dean. Look, just get down here okay? We're gonna find her and Cas, Dean" Brady said trying to comfort Dean in his own odd way.
"We're on our way, Brady. Call me if you hear anything and I don't care how minor it is ok?"
"I promise, Dean" Brady told his friend as they hung up.
Dean sat on the bed with his head in his hands. Even though he was very much in love with Tariel, a part of his heart would always be lost to Brooklyn and it was that part of his heart that was hurting. They had to find her and Cas! As he sat there, Tariel sat down beside him having heard the entire conversation. She turned his head so he was looking at her.
"Dean? Dean, look at me. We are going to find her and Castiel. Castiel is my brother and Brooklyn is my sister and I love them both and there is no way I'm going to lose anymore brethren to this war than what I have lost" she said as Dean looked at her. He nodded taking her in his arms holding her tight. Tariel knew he was hurting but she also knew he was happy to have her in his life and she had been his rock. Dean pressed his forehead to hers stroking her face seeking comfort in her arms and Tariel was more than willing to give him that very comfort. She leaned in pressing her lips to his in a searing passionate kiss. Dean deepened it as they fell back on the bed as Tariel lay on top of him letting her take control.
Brooklyn woke up still leaned in against her angel. She could feel his deep steady breathing as he was still asleep. She carefully turned her body until she faced Castiel and watched as he slept. He looked at peace with no weight upon his shoulders, no worries of Lucifer walking free or any other burden. Leaning up she softly kissed him feeling the warmth between them as she let them linger there before pulling back. She snuggled in to her angel stroking his face not wanting to ponder what their fate will be. At least they were together and that was what mattered no matter where they were.
I love you, Cas. No matter what happens or where we are, I will always be with you, my angel.
As she fell back asleep, Colin was observing them. He could feel the strong bond and love they shared. He may be a vampire, but he knew what love was when he saw it. A part of his humanity had remained intact when he was turned and it was that small shred of his soul that saw to it they would go together but after that it mattered not what happened to them.
Judas had finished off a young tri athlete and was headed home when he thought about the angels. He was determined to get them for he had special plans for the two warriors and money was no object as he would pay whatever price deemed necessary to get Brooklyn and Castiel. He smiled as he thought of what he had in store for them.
Dean sped like a bat out of Hell towards Phoenix. Tariel looked at him seeing the distant look in his bright green eyes. She knew he was very much in love with her as she was in love with him but sometimes late at night, she would hear him whisper Brooklyn's name in his sleep. She had come to terms that they would each have a part of one another's hearts as Castiel had come to understand but sometimes she had to wonder. Dean looked over at her seeing those brilliant eyes full of concern mixed with love. She saw those green orbs lighten up at the sight of her gentle eyes as they touched his heart. He took her hand kissing it as he held it gently. Dean had to keep those raging emotions at bay as Brooklyn was with Castiel and now an angel but that didn't stop him from caring a lot for her and Castiel.
Bobby was headed southwest taking the back roads as to avoid any cops. He knew Dean would be beside himself as Brooklyn was missing. He knew the man still loved her and if anything had happened to her he would probably never forgive himself even when the situation was beyond his control. He worried about the man he had thought of as a son as he continued on. Dean had been literally through Hell and now this. The old truck rumbled across the Iowa/Nebraska line as the sun started lower in the sky.
Ok everyone!!! Update soon!
