The Archangels succeed in locating Brooklyn….

Dean paced around the room of the safe house waiting for the Archangels and Castiel to get back hoping they had located Brooklyn. Markus sat at the table with Tariel as they used the pendulum praying it would give them something, anything.

"How long does it take to torture a vampire?! It's not that hard for crying out loud! Hell they should have let me 'talk' to the damn parasite!" Dean waved his hands in the air as he expressed his frustrations.

"Dean…" Markus gently warned the younger hunter seeing Dean collapse in the chair rubbing the bridge of his nose with finger and thumb. Tariel could see her hunter's anguish feeling it as if it her own. Dean needed to have some faith, but that would be like pulling teeth to even get him consider the notion of having it. The angel continued to keep the faith for both of them knowing that God had a plan and would never let a very powerful angel be turned into a vampire. It just couldn't happen, could it?

Just then the angels reappeared causing Dean to jump to his feet and begin demanding answers.

"Well, did you find her?! What did the vampire say!? Where's Brooklyn?!" Castiel turned to look at Dean with sternness in those captivating blue eyes. Dean felt the blue orbs gently warning him to stop the barrage of questions. The hunter shut his mouth as Castiel addressed the apprehensive group.

"Colin broke and told us where Brooklyn and Aiden are located. There is another vampire safe house located in the Pocono Mountains and that is where he has her."

"Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's get the Hell going!" Dean cried out only to have his hopes of kicking vampire ass squashed by Castiel's words.

"No, Dean, this is something I have to do. Aiden is my cross to bear as he sees me as the reason for all of his pain. You must remain here with the others."

Dean felt anger rising within his body and soul as it exploded from his mouth.

"What!? No way, Cas, you are so not doing this alone! Why do you have to be so damn noble about all of this! Look, we all love and care about Brooklyn and wanna help, why the Hell can't you see that?!" His sharp green orbs pleading with the angel's rich blue ones. The angel could feel the hunter reaching deep within his soul begging him.

"I am sorry, Dean, but no. Aiden is expecting all of us to show up but will not be expecting only the angels to show up. Please, Dean, I must do this mission, but with Gabriel and Raphael. Please understand." The angel's deep rich voice was laced with hints of sadness as his eyes matched his voice's tone. The hunter felt defeated but nodded his head as he walked away.

"I'll take care of him" Tariel excused herself and hurried to catch up with her hunter.

Dean stormed out of the house and down the gravel trail towards the woods. He wanted a piece of the Elder for the pain that he had put Cas through and continued to put him through. He saw a large inviting tree marching towards it and pulled his fist back.

"Dean, please, don't…" Tariel stood behind him with pain in her hazel depths. He closed his eyes and lowered his hand turning to face his angel. She approached her hunter feeling his anguish over Castiel insisting he did this alone.

"Dean, have some confidence in Castiel for he will need your friendship and support through this nightmare. You're strong and have a huge heart but you need to understand when to respect the wishes of my brother. Brooklyn needs him just as I need you, here, with me." The hunter covered the small hand cupping his cheek with his larger one. He was hurting his angel and he had to put aside this lust for revenge or risk wounding her deeper. Taking her hand within his, Dean led his seraph back to the safe house.

As Castiel prepared to save his angel, Brooklyn felt she only had hours left before she was changed and bound to Aiden forever. She felt something warm touch her face as she lay there on the bed still greatly weakened as the curse continued taking control of her body. The sun's warmth was welcoming and painful at the same time. It was as if it was God's way of purifying her of the evil that lay within. She yearned to feel more of that blessed warmth as she forced her vulnerable body up and on the floor towards the window. She leaned against the stand and then the wall for support as the pure light of the sun continued to call her forth. Making it to the window, she could feel the heat and bright light run through her body and she felt a slight rush of energy through her. It was almost as if the effects of the vampire's blood was slowed or even halted while she bathed in the daylight. The heat warmed her now cooler skin and turning her pale ashen skin reddish pink.

Aiden stood there silently observing her struggle to hold on to the light and fight the darkness. The sun had that effect on those who were changing as the rays could slow the pace of being changed but did not stop it altogether as he knew Brooklyn was hoping for. He stepped through the doorway approaching the angel knowing she could detect his scent.

Brooklyn was able to catch the vampire's scent well before he stood in the doorway of the bedroom. His powerful essence filled her senses as he came up beside her but dared not to touch her for she still remained in the burning rays. Brooklyn didn't want to leave the safety of the window for she knew if she did the curse would resurge in the absence of the blessed rays. But her wish to remain would go unheard as she felt weak and lightheaded. Her legs buckled beneath her prompting Aiden to risk being burned and catch her before she touched the floor. The sun's rays touched his ancient skin causing it to bubble and blister and turn crimson red. Aiden hissed in pain as he hurried out of the damning beams and onto the bed.

Brooklyn looked over to see the vampire's burnt skin as the horrid odor of burning skin and flesh filled her nose. She gazed up at Aiden seeing genuine pain in his violet depths as she felt her body rise to examine the agonizing injuries the vampire endured. The Elder watched as she gently ran her cool touch over his injuries observing the vampire flinch in pain as her soft fingers touched the oozing wounds. Brooklyn closed her eyes knowing that he needed her and saw what had to be done.

Aiden looked with confusion as Brooklyn tilted her head exposing her neck and shoulder to the vampire.

"No, my beloved…"

"Yes, Aiden, you are badly hurt and need to heal so please take my offering to help." Brooklyn could feel the angelic side in her wanting to help the creature as she sat there vulnerable and exposed to him. Aiden struggled to resist the blood desire calling out for him to feed as he felt the inner conflict rising within him. He looked down to see her bright grey orbs pleading with him to drink from her and be healed.

"Please, Aiden, just do it…" The vampire nodded in understanding gently pressing her down upon the mattress feeling his fangs lower as he plunged the needle like fangs into her skin hearing a small whimper from the angel. Aiden could feel his body healing with each drink he took from Brooklyn. The blistering disappeared along with the red crimson blotches as his skin renewed. The sharp stinging pain subsided replaced by the cooling sensation of the air upon his freshly mended flesh. Brooklyn knew the action of taking from her probably sped up her turning but a part of her couldn't stand to see the vampire in such pain despite all he had put her through.

Aiden pulled his head back to find her unconscious beneath him. He held his hand to her heart feeling the now weaker heart beat beneath it also noting her skin felt almost ice cold to the touch. Despite feeling the overwhelming joy rising within him as this, Aiden could feel himself feeling something else tugging at him.

"Brooklyn, wake up…Look at me, please…" he softly pleaded with the angel. He pressed her close to him feeling her chilled body tight against his.

"Aiden, please go…" a small whisper escaped her lips causing the Elder to look down and see the angel looking back up at him with half lidded eyes.

"No!" He protested. He wasn't about to leave her, not like this, not when she was so close to being fully turned. Brooklyn raised a hand to his face silently pleading with the Elder.

"Aiden, please listen to me. The angels are coming and they will kill you. I can feel them coming now. Please, for me, go…" She whispered before losing consciousness again. It was then Aiden felt the angel's arrival.

"Step away from her, Aiden…" Castiel growled stepping towards the vampire. Raphael and Gabriel soon followed behind the dark haired seraph. Raphael raced to Brooklyn's side immediately beginning the healing process. The Archangel looked down to see her angelic being barely holding on within her body as he felt her skin was now ice cold and her heart beat was now barely detectable. With mere moments left, the Healer dispensed the thick red contents of the vial he held in his hand. Holding her head up while opening her mouth, Raphael forced the viscous fluid down her throat. The red liquid coating her throat as her body started to absorb the soothing mixture. Once the vial was empty, Raphael immediately placed his hand over her heart and began to pray.

As the angel continued to heal his brethren, Castiel and Gabriel confronted the Elder vampire, cornering him in a separate room. Aiden bared his fangs as he stared down the angels. Despite the numbers, Aiden refused to go down without a fight.

"I told you, vampire, if you ever came near my daughter again, you would not walk away alive" Gabriel spat feeling his anger begin to rise. The Elder narrowed his eyes until they were violet slits staring back at the angels. Gabriel began to move closer to the vampire but felt a strong hand clasp on his shoulder holding him back. He turned to face Castiel with a look of shock firmly etched upon his face.

As the angels squared off against Aiden, Raphael continued his vigil of Brooklyn never taking his hand off her heart. He prayed he wasn't too late in his efforts as he softly repeated his healing prayer. The angel's heart beat began to grow stronger against his hold as the ashen death like appearance of her skin slowly begin to be replaced by the familiar hues of golden tan with a hint of scarlet. The ice cold touch ebbed away as the angel felt the return of the heavenly warmth upon her small form. The Archangel knew she had a long way to being fully well but this was a great first step. Raphael continued to watch as her eyes began to flutter open adjusting to the bright light that flooded the room. Brooklyn blinked her eyes a few times as she laid eyes upon the Healer.

The younger seraph smiled warmly at her brother as she felt the coldness within being expelled from her. Brooklyn could feel her body shaking and sweaty, almost reminding her of a having a fever. Perhaps she was for after all the blood of a vampire was an infection and a fatal one at that.

Raphael could feel his vessel being overcome with emotion as he reached out and held his seraph sibling in his embrace. He was terrified that he had not reached her in time and that she was fully turned lost to Castiel forever but thankfully he was proven to be wrong for she was beginning to revert back to being a seraph once again. Raphael gently pulled back looking into the younger angel's now brightening grey eyes. No longer were they dull and lifeless but now full of light and hope once again.

"We thought you were lost, Little One…" The Archangel said. Brooklyn detected a hint of distress in his deep voice as the words spilled from his mouth. The angel shook her head at him smiling slightly at him.

"No, brother, you arrived in time to bring me back. Thank you…" The sound of a struggle made her look over the Archangel's shoulder seeing her angel and Gabriel battling against Aiden. Her eyes flooded with horror as the angels had him pinned ready to finish him off.

"No…" She looked up at the Healer with tears welling up in her eyes. "Raphael, stop them, please…" She begged almost sounding desperate. When the Archangel merely looked back confused at her, Brooklyn struggled to get up and stop the attack before it was too late falling to the floor feeling helpless at the scene that was playing out before her. It was then she felt Raphael pick her up and help her to the next room.

"I hope you know what you are doing, Little One" the Healer said softly.

"I am, Raphael, I am" she replied.

Gabriel pinned Aiden against the wall as Castiel placed his hand upon the vampire's forehead ready to rid the world of the Elder vampire.

"You will no longer harm my Brooklyn any more vampire" Castiel said flatly pressing his hand flush with Aiden's head as the vampire cried out in agony.

"Cas, stop it!" Castiel spun around to see Brooklyn leaning against Raphael appealing to her angel to spare the vampire's life. Raphael carried the still weak angel towards the trio with Brooklyn continuing to beg for mercy on Aiden.

"Please, my angel, let him go…" She asked softly feeling her body being held in her angel's embrace. Castiel looked into those wide grey eyes that pleaded with his to release the Elder. The angel held his love's face in his hands confused as to why she would ask such a thing.

"Brook, what are you saying?" He asked bewildered at her. She took a deep breath before answering her angel.

"I know that he put us through Hell, Cas, but I saw something residing within him. It was his humanity, a small fragment of it. He's not totally lost, my angel, he can still be saved." Her words weak yet struck a chord with the seraph. Brooklyn looked at Gabriel pleading with him to forgive the vampire.

"No, Brooklyn, I cannot do such a thing. I am sorry my daughter." His green eyes hard as his stare remained fixed on the Elder. This vile entity dared to taint her and make her his and for Gabriel that was something he could not overlook.

"Gabriel, please, I forgave him for what he did…" Her voice weak and strained as she began to feel sick all over. Castiel held her closer to him as he too felt his own pity for the Elder emerge. He had never harbored any hard feelings towards the Elder even when he was seen as the blame for the tragedy so long ago.

Brooklyn could feel the anguish and hurt rising within her as Gabriel remained steadfast in destroying the vampire. His daughter was surely not of sound mind or judgment; it had to be the vampire putting such thoughts in her mind. He would not even entertain the thought she would forgive this monster for all that he did to her.

"But I did, Gabriel, I did forgive him and it was my own decision. Aiden didn't poison my mind."

Castiel began to feel he had to do something so he tried to convince the Messenger of Brooklyn's words.

"Gabriel, Brooklyn speaks the truth, she did forgive him and it wasn't because of any manipulations. Your daughter saw something that none of us did or refused to see. Aiden still has some humanity left within him. Please, brother, don't do this."

Gabriel dropped his head in frustration before turning to Castiel.

"Castiel, he hurt her and you saw the marks upon her back when you were discovered together. That was by his hand, Castiel. He almost succeeded in turning her into one of them. What would you have done if that had happened? And now you wish to give him a pass for all of it?" The dark haired seraph nodded his head as his blue eyes revealed certainty in his decision. Raphael knew better than to get involved and merely remained silent as Castiel and Brooklyn worked to get Gabriel to see Aiden could be saved.

Gabriel looked at the Elder with cold hard eyes as he released the Elder from his grasp. A look of disgust crossed his face as he spoke.

"You listen to me, Aiden, and listen real close as I will only say this one time and one time only. It seems that my daughter was able to call forth what little bit of a soul you have left and that is what saved you from being destroyed. Do not make me regret my decision. Now go, leave my sight."

Aiden stood there for a few moments looking at Brooklyn with now soulful violet depths. Castiel wrapped his arms tighter around his angel as if to show the vampire he would never have her again. Aiden merely turned and retreated down the hall to retrieve his clothing hanging his head down with his eyes closed. He didn't want the angels to see the pain and sorrow he was feeling. He didn't want them to be able to revel in knowing they had brought such pain towards the Elder. Aiden wasn't about to let them have their cake and eat it too.

The angels watched as the vampire, covered head to toe, got in the Chevelle and slowly drove away. Brooklyn snuggled in her angel's arms having missed their warmth and protection. Castiel continued to keep her supported in his arms holding her tight. He really did think that he would never see her again. The angel leaned down kissing Brooklyn's forehead feeling the warm wet skin against his lips letting them linger for a few moments. Brooklyn could smell the faint hint of the cologne that his vessel used. The scent filled her with all the love and emotion she held towards her angel. She swore her heart was beating harder and stronger when those emotions flooded her soul.

I missed you so much, Brook…

I know, my angel, but I'm here now…

"Take me home, Cas" Brooklyn whispered as her angel was only more than happy to do so. She closed her eyes feeling herself being whisked back home to her family and friends.
