One angel is rescued….
Brady jumped up racing towards Dean who was losing the fight against Breton. The hunter used every ounce of strength to keep the Elder from draining him dry as Breton began closing in with his fangs exposed. Dean felt his body begin to waver as his muscles cramped and body felt fatigue setting in but he still continued to fight against the vampire.
"Dean!" Brady hollered out firing his gun at the vampire. Breton looked up to see several bullets fired off and racing towards him. The Elder grinned and with cat like reflexes leapt out of the way as the shots struck the wall embedding themselves deep within the stone wall. Brady raised the gun again only to be greeted with an empty hallway.
"Dean, you alright? The younger man asked lifting Dean to his feet as Dean turned and nodded.
While Brady was helping Dean, Callie had raced down the hallway hearing Castiel's cries. With machete held tightly in one hand, Callie charged the room to find Matthias hunched over the angel in a twisted embrace.
Matthias's fangs remained entrenched in the angel's neck draining the seraph of his life force. Castiel struggled against the vampire feeling his strength fleeting from him. The world around him began to turn black as he felt the creature continue to feed from him. Before he felt his body begin to give, he saw Callie sprint through the door.
"Hey blood sucker!" Matthias shot his head up revealing blood laced fangs and lips. The piercing green eyes directed at Callie full of rage and hatred towards the hunter. He dropped the barely conscious angel on the couch and lunged at Callie. The hunter remained steadfast in her stance waiting for the right moment to strike. Her dark eyes locked on the vampire as it continued to close in on her with its fangs still unsheathed.
With one precise swing, Callie's machete cleanly sliced off the vampire's head hearing it land with a dull thud.
"Vampires can be so predictable" Callie said looking down at the corpse. Grabbing the head she tossed it in the roaring fire ensuring one less blood sucker would be roaming the planet. Nodding in satisfaction, Callie raced to the angel seeing his pale ashen skin and lips. Reaching in the bag she wore across her chest, the hunter retrieved a small vial of reddish brown liquid. Tilting the angel's head up, Callie popped the vial open and poured the viscous fluid down Castiel's throat.
The seraph felt a warm coating sensation spread down his throat and radiate throughout his body. He felt his eyes opening to see Callie hovered over him with a look of relief plastered across her face.
"Welcome back, Castiel" the soft Irish accent sounded like Heaven to the angel's ears. The angel looked over to see the headless body of his tormentor on the floor in a rapidly forming pool of blood. The angel's blue eyes looked back up at the hunter as Callie could see the questions in those endless blue depths.
"You're safe now, Castiel."
"Brooklyn…" he whispered trying to get up only to have a strong hand gently hold him back.
"We'll get her back, Castiel. For now you must take it easy" Callie said in a motherly manner. The angel leaned back on the plush couch trying to will his vessel to heal.
As Callie tended to Castiel, Tariel squared off with Tatiana. The angel had her powers still intact giving her the advantage. The Elder lunged towards the angel knocking her to the ground pinning her beneath her body.
"Time to meet Daddy, seraph" the vampire extended her fangs ready to strike. As Tatiana lunged towards the angel's neck, Tariel extended her wings and emitted a bright white light from her eyes causing the vampire to wail in pain, releasing her grip on the angel. The Elder vampire collapsed to the ground writhing in agony and clawing at the holes where her eyes once sat. Colin heard the cries of his sister and fled to her side.
"Do not worry, sister, for I have you" Colin said picking her up in his arms rushing out into the cool night. Tariel quickly jumped to her feet seeing that the remaining Elder had fled along with Judas. Her sharp eyes darted to find Dean and Brady checking themselves over for injuries, Bobby had disappeared down the hall to where Castiel and Callie still resided and Markus was coming down from the stairs after pursuing Judas. The look of frustration and anguish written clearly across his strong face as he rejoined the hunters at the stairs.
"The bastard got away along with his little demon spawn" Brady noted as Markus nodded his head letting out a sigh of disappointment. "Where are Bobby and Callie?" The hunters looked to see Callie and Bobby emerge with a greatly weakened Castiel holding on to them for support. His head hanging to one side as the bright blue orbs were dull and listless from being drained to the point of death.
"Cas!" Dean cried out holding his head between his hands seeing the confusion in the angel's blue eyes. The angel narrowed and fixed his eyes on the hunter and Brady and slowly began to show signs of recognition.
"Dean…Brady?" Brady smiled nodding his head at Castiel.
"Yeah, it's me, Cas. It's Brady." The angel started to nod seeing his friend before him. The hunter looked at Callie as she saw his eyes fill with concern about the angel.
"Braden, Castiel will be fine. I gave him a healing remedy that will speed up the recovery time. As for the binding spell, he will need to be brought back to the safe house for me to break it. It's a very old and powerful curse that was placed upon him but I can break it." The certainty in her eyes and voice made Brady smile at her as he felt his ears burn and turn red.
Bobby and Dean observed Brady's ear tinge with crimson as appeared that the hunter was sweet on the Irish huntress. Each made a mental note to tease Brady after Brooklyn and the Archangels were rescued.
Castiel rested on the bed with his hands folded over one another as the soothing blend continued to heal his vessel's body. He could feel every vein, artery and bone in his body being purged of all the taint Matthias had put on him. Callie had worked almost nonstop to find a counter spell as powerful as the one that bound Castiel's angelic powers and abilities. Brady had pitched in to help by searching through the endless volumes that lay in the study even offering to look so she could rest. Callie was touched by his gesture as they continued to search.
Dean sharpened his throwing knives and refilled his firearm cartridges trying to take his mind off of things. The vampire Breton was starting to become a real pain in the ass for the hunter and he wanted to see that smug bastard's face twisted in horror when his machete sliced the vampire's head off. He scanned to see where Tariel had ran off to but also noticed Markus was missing as well.
Tariel and Markus ventured deeper into the woods and stopped in a clearing where they sat on two large rocks immediately going into a state of deep meditation and prayer. They opened their eyes up to find Michael standing before them.
"Michael, any news?" Markus asked almost begging the Archangel with his steel blue eyes. The Archangel looked down at the hunter with a sad hint in his eyes.
"The news I have is nothing you want to hear but you need to know. Lilith broke another Seal leaving only 33 Seals left before Lucifer walks free. We are losing this war, Markus, and without Brooklyn, Castiel, Raphael and Michael to help fight it's only a matter of time before all is lost."
Markus looked towards the ground unsure of how to respond or even what to say. Lilith had succeeded in breaking another Seal bringing them one step closer to Hell on Earth.
"But Michael we got Castiel back and surely that accounts for something, right?" Tariel informed the Archangel. The angel did have a point as Castiel was an important part of Heaven's plans to fight Lilith. Michael turned to look at Markus one last time before leaving.
"Time is running out, Markus. Everything is riding on you and the others to find the lost angels. And remember things are not what they appear to be."
What did Michael mean by that? Tariel and Markus looked at one another in silence exchanging looks of confusion by what the Archangel had said.
"Come on Tariel, my daughter and the Archangels are depending on us to find them."
Brooklyn slowly came to feeling her body shiver violently beneath the heavy blanket. She also could feel the warmth of another's body wrapped around her as if trying to draw the chill away from her and into them.
"So cold…" she muttered feeling the strong warm arms hold her tighter. As she continued to feel her body and mind join the world of the living, she realized she was naked as was the body beside her.
"It will pass my beloved…" Aiden whispered in her ear tucking back a strand of auburn hair away from her face. He leaned in closer kissing her softly, fighting to keep her warm. Brooklyn turned her body to face the vampire looking straight into those endless violet pools seeing the concern in his face.
"Where…where am I? Cas?"
"Shhhh, you need your rest, my beloved. You are still very weak as you haven't fed from me yet."
Brooklyn felt the warmth radiating from Aiden's skin. She saw the flush tone knowing it was her blood that gave him that glow. She felt angry at him for making her so weak and vulnerable having to depend on him. The vampire was able to read her thoughts and sensed the anger she harbored towards him.
"You are angry at me."
"Yes."
Aiden merely chuckled at the angel's distress knowing that soon that anger would be replaced with a fiery passion waiting to be tamed by him. He looked deep within her eyes leaning in closer to her. The anger within her slowly faded away as he drew her in with his powerful gaze feeling her submit to him. Aiden reached over for the knife and began to pierce his arm with the blade. He hissed out feeling the sharp blade cut his skin seeing a thick red line trickle down his arm.
The vampire brought the bleeding limb down to Brooklyn grinning as the drops of blood landed upon her lips. Brooklyn fought the urge to lick the warm coppery liquid that sat on her lips waiting for her to carry them into her mouth. Aiden felt a small feeling of triumph as he watched her run her tongue along her lips licking his blood and tasting his life essence.
"That's it, my beloved, feed." Brooklyn shot her arms out from beneath the blanket grabbing his arm and pressed her mouth against the open gash tasting his blood. Aiden tilted his head back reveling in the sensations and feelings he experienced. Their heart beats became one as she continued to take in the life giving blood.
Brooklyn abruptly released his arm as sharp waves of pain surged through her body. Aiden licked his own blood feeling the gash close up leaving not even the slightest scar on his skin. He looked down at the angel as she began to turn. He knew that when someone was turned it was slow and painful as he vividly remembered his own siring. Aiden also knew that when one was sired that they would also experience a large spectrum of emotions and feelings as their humanity was overtaken and all but destroyed.
Aiden snapped out of his thoughts to Brooklyn's cries and sobs and curled up with her holding her close. The vampire ran his fingers through her auburn tresses in a soothing manner while the other hand was pressed firmly in place against the small of her back rubbing in a circular motion. It seemed to work as her sobs and cries ceased but her body still shivered against his own. Aiden smiled to himself watching Brooklyn slowly begin to turn in his arms. He finally had her and soon Brooklyn would be fully turned and truly his.
Something made him open his eyes and look down to see Brooklyn staring back at him with something flashing in her eyes. She leaned in pressing her mouth to his biting down on his bottom lip drawing blood. Aiden relaxed feeling her feed from him once again but on her own. Despite the pain that still coursed through her body, Brooklyn felt something awaken within her, stirring certain feelings within her. Aiden felt her tongue sensually run along the bite wound lapping his blood up. The vampire detected something within the angel stirring and Aiden was only more than obliged to nurture those sentiments.
The vampire leaned his head back moaning softly at the soft press of her mouth against his warm skin feeling the velvety lips move downward along his strong naked body tasting the vampire's skin. His hands digging into her hair when her head went beneath the cover latching on to Aiden's erection earning a hiss of pleasure from the vampire's mouth. His hips bucked up wanting more from her feeling her respond by taking him deeper within her. The sensation of her lips and tongue drove him wild with passion and a need that continued to rise unabated. Aiden couldn't say anything but could only moan and whimper at her mouth's caress. Aiden wanted more from Brooklyn though, wanted to feel her around him.
Brooklyn felt her body being pulled up and laid on her back. Aiden looked down at her seeing the lust that was dominant in her being, knowing it was for him and not that damned angel. Aiden took her mouth within his tasting his blood that lingered on her tongue and around her mouth. Their mouths remained locked in a battle for dominance as he parted her legs and eased in. Aiden grabbed her hips and waist tight thrusting hard inside her feeling her hips slam hard against his as the vampire and the angel melted into one.
Brooklyn could feel a part of her soul screaming out this was wicked and immoral, that she was betraying her angel by lying with the vampire yet she could feel the influence of Aiden's blood and dominance over her silence those cries. Aiden could feel her body and soul being consumed by the darkness spreading through every part of her. He knew she could still fight it and easily turn on him so he had to make certain that he held her under his control until she was fully turned. Aiden did not see that being a problem as he held her tightly beneath him. The room echoed with their cries of passion as they came down from an intense sexual high.
The vampire and angel remained firmly embraced until sleep called for the pair. Brooklyn felt wide range of emotions and feelings course through her body as she laid there in Aiden's arms. She could still hear the small part of her soul cry out for her angel hoping he would hear her.
"Brooklyn!" Castiel sat upright calling her name only to be greeted by Callie sitting next to the bed. The hunter could see the sadness in his eyes as he heard his angel cry out to him as she felt her own pang of pain in her heart. She felt for Castiel seeing him lost without Brooklyn for it was half of his heart and soul that was gone.
"She called out to me, Callie. Brooklyn, she needs me…" the angel began to get up only to collapse back upon the bed as a heavy feeling settled over him. Callie placed a hand on his shoulder hoping to calm him.
"Castiel, you are in no shape to find Brooklyn for we haven't even found a counter spell to break the curse Darius placed upon you. Markus, Dean and Tariel are still looking for her and Brady is looking for a counter spell. Here, drink…" She administered more of the healing remedy to the angel knowing his body still needed to restore itself before the binding spell could be done. She hoped Brady would find something.
Brady flipped through the aging pages with the dexterity of a master librarian, scanning every spell and every single sentence not wanting to overlook anything. When he reached the last page, the hunter slammed the book shut in pure frustration. He stayed up all night looking for a damned spell only to find the same subject in five different books. How many times does someone need to write about a damn herb? Herb?! Brady grabbed the four other books opening the ancient pages until he found where each tome mentioned the herb. The hunter placed the books side by side and read each section seeing now why this herb was mentioned in five places.
He had found the counter spell, only it was broken down and hidden in separate books to keep the demons or any other evil entity from finding it. And judging by the looks of the spell it was definitely one that needed to kept hidden away.
"Callie! Callie, I found it!" Brady yelled excitedly as Callie raced by his side seeing the spell before her. She smiled at Brady as he had figured out where the spell was.
"Braden, you are a genius! It makes sense! This spell requires some of the rarest and most powerful ingredients known to man and can break any binding spell no matter how old, how powerful or who cast it!" Callie kissed Brady on the lips making the hunter turn red and shy away.
"Braden, I need you to gather this part of the list and I will gather the other half. Everything we need will either be hidden in the vault downstairs or in the cabinet. I have a good feeling about this, Braden."
Brady couldn't but help to feel her excitement as he gathered his part of the list. Several minutes later they met back up and started the spell. Brady helped to blend the ingredients while Callie recited the incantation in Aramaic. Brady found himself enchanted as the ancient words rolled off her tongue with ease. As they finished the spell, the brew bubbled and turned blue giving off a light hint of jasmine and a few other items Brady couldn't place. He watched as Callie bottled up the precious liquid taking one of the vials to where Castiel was resting.
Callie took a small amount of the liquid covering the tattoo on the angel's wrist rubbing the liquid into it while reciting the ancient incantation. Castiel tilted his head upon hearing the Aramaic spill from her lips and began to feel a soothing warm sensation that started where the mark of the vampire was on his wrist and spread throughout this body. It was as if a dark veil was lifted from his mind and soul as Castiel felt a Heavenly essence reenter his vessel. In one small thought he felt his dark wings spread out from behind him as he could hear the thoughts of his fellow seraphs once again. He looked down to see the horrid symbol fade away until not even the slightest mark remained.
The angel hopped off the bed feeling his abilities and powers return. For the first time in a long time he felt a sense of hope and faith being restored within him. He stood with his impressive wingspan behind him feeling something building within him. It was determination, determination to get his soulmate back and end Aiden's reign of terror.
"Brooklyn, I am coming. I will find you and we will be together again, my angel" Castiel vowed.
In a dwelling hidden somewhere in the Poconos, Brooklyn smiled as his words silently reached her. The battle for her soul beginning…
