Thank you soooo much for the reviews. They always make my day. Enjoy Chapter 12 of my Love is in the air story!! xxLois87
... an unknown caller ID. Who the hell could that be? I decided to pick up and find out.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Elizabeth Carter, what a delight it is to hear your voice." A male voice chuckled at the other end of the line.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" The stranger started to freak me out and I was shaking a little.
"We haven´t had the pleasure to meet in person yet but we soon will. I´m sorry for being so rude and not introducing myself. I`m an aquaintance of Deans. He might have told you about me, my name´s Alistair." My heart skipped a beat at the mention of his name, I knew to well who he was.
"How did you find me and what the hell do you want?" I demanded, trying to sound angry to overplay my anxiety. Alistair meant serious business and he was not to be taken lightly.
"Well, let´s just say I have my sources. What I want? Hmmm, a lot of things but for now you and your baby dead would more than satisfy me. Just imagine what it would do to Dean, finding the love of his life and his unborn baby dead. Anyways, enough chitchat for now. We´ll soon be able to talk face to face. Send my regards to Dean, after all he was one of my favourite students." Before I could reply he hung up.
Okay, stay calm Lizzie. As long as you´re in this place he can´t touch you. Just wait until Jason comes back and you´ll figure something out. I tried to reason with myself and eventually I succeeded in calming down.
I went into my bedroom and got out the secret stash of weapons I had hidden under my bed. I took out another bag that contained my books and most importantly my journal. I went through the entire house and drew some more protection symbols on the walls and hung protective charms and demon repelling herbs and plants on all doors and windows.
It was evening by the time I finished and I was completely exhausted. Jason had called and said that he had to stay in the office for a few more hours, so I decided to go to bed already.
To my own surprise my sleep was pretty much peaceful. I woke up the next morning, feeling and looking a little less shaken up than yesterday.
"Jason, you awake?" I asked as I knocked on his door. No answer, so I just took the liberty and went inside. He wasn´t in his room and the bed looked like it hadn´t been slept in.
Oh no. I knew something was not right. Jason would never stay away without letting me know first. I took out my cellphone and dialled his number.
"Hi! This is Jason Reid. I´m currently unavailable, so please leave a message after the beep." BEEP. Damn voicemail, I thought.
"Hi Jason! It´s me Lizzy. I just woke up and realized you didn´t come home. Please call me as soon as you hear this. I´m really worried." I hung up and called a few of Jasons employees but they didn´t know where he was either.
I paced restlessly through the living room trying to figure out what to do. Mhhh, I could call Bobby but it would take him too long to get here and besides I don´t want to give him a heartattack when he sees that I´m pregnant. I can´t go by myself either, I thought. I grabbed my cellphone and scrolled through my contacts. I wasn´t sure Dean would pick up when he saw my Caller ID, so instead I called Sam. It rang a couple of times until he finally answered.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hey Sam, it´s me Lizzy. Can you talk right now?"
"Uhm, just a sec." I heard him walk and close a door behind him. "Okay."
"Sam I don´t have much time to explain and I know you probably hate me for what I´ve done to your brother but I really need your help. Bobby is too far away and I can´t handle it by myself, at least not in the state I´m in now." I couldn´t help but start sobbing. Jason was in trouble because of me.
"I don´t hate you Liz. What happened?"
"Did Dean tell you about a demon named Alistair?"
"Yes." Sam sounded worried now aswell.
"Jason didn´t come home yesterday and no one knows where he is. I think Alistair has him. He called me yesterday and told me that he would come after me and the baby. I´m worried Sam, I don´t know what to do." Tears streamed down my face.
"We just finished our case and are about to check out of the motel we´re in. I´ll be there as soon as possible. Do you want Dean to come aswell?"
"Yes. See you soon, Sam."
"Try to stay calm, Liz. See you." He hung up.
My heart beat slowed down a little, knowing that help was on its way.
Sams´POV...
I reentered the motel room once I finished talking to Lizzy on the phone. I was really worried about her, she sounded terrified and helpless.
"Dean, we need to go."
"What? Where? We haven´t even had food yet. I´m starving." He complained and pulled a face.
"Liz is in trouble and needs our help. Alistair is after her and Jason is missing. She thinks he kidnapped him."
"Let´s go." He hastily took his bags and stormed out of the room.
We got into the Impala and made our way to Lizzys house. Dean drove like a crazy person, committing all kinds of traffic violations on the way.
It took us about 15 minutes to get there. I looked at Dean who was pale as a ghost.
"Hey, are you ok?" I asked and he just nodded. He rang the doorbell and a minute later Liz was standing in front of us. She had been crying and was still a little shaky. Never in my life did I think that I would get to see her like that. Liz is one of the best and most skilled hunters I´ve ever encountered despite being relatively young. Hell, she would have even given Dad a good run for his money.
"Thanks for coming." She said and ushered us in. I looked around and noticed the protection symbols and charms on the walls. I was kind of suprised when she told me that Alistair had called her, since demons prefer to just burst into peoples places, but obviously he wasn´t able to enter this house.
General POV...
The three hunters each took a seat around the large living room table. Lizzy explained what had happened but left out the fact that Alistair knew that the baby was Deans.
"Why would he come after you? I mean Dean and you split up months ago." Sam stated matter of factly. Liz was just about to answer but was interrupted by Castiels arrival.
"It´s ok Liz. You can tell them the truth now." He approached the hunters and joined them at the table. Liz just shot him an irritated look.
Lizzys POV...
Damn angels, I cursed to myself.
"Alistair is after her because he knows that the baby she´s carrying is yours Dean. Zachariah, my superior, ordered her to split up with you because we wanted to get her off Liliths radar but it seems like she´s back on it and there´s nothing we can do about it. Your baby is part of a prophecy and that´s why Lilith wants it dead." Cas explained.
"So you´re saying it´s my fault that she´s back on Liliths radar?" Dean sounded incredibly guilty. Castiel just nodded which caused Dean to storm out of the room.
I followed him. "Dean please." I pleaded as I tried to catch up with him. He came to a stop close to the front door and punched the wall. "This is all my fault, Liz."
"No it´s not. Cmon, we need to talk." I took his hand and led him to my room upstairs. I sat down on my bed and motioned for him to sit down next to me.
"Dean, I´m really sorry you had to find out through Castiel but I wasn´t allowed to tell you. I´m sorry for everything, for all the pain I caused and for every time that I lied to you. I didn´t even know I was pregnant until Zachariah told me. When I found out, I told Jason about it and he offered me to live with him."
"So you´re not really together?"
"The whole relationship and engagement was just a cover up to keep people off our backs. Don´t get me wrong, I love Jason but the love I have for him is the kind you have for a friend." I paused for a moment and eyed the engagement ring on my hand. "I still love you Dean. I loved you from the very first moment I laid my eyes on you. Everytime I look at this ring, I wished you would have been the one to give it to me." Our eyes were locked and before I could say more, he pressed his lips onto mine. Gosh, it felt good to taste his lips again. I pulled back when I felt my little boy kick. "Seems like the little fella doesn´t like chick flick moments." I smiled and took Deans hands and placed them on my bump. He smiled as he felt him kick.
"Dean, we really need to find Jason. I couldn´t live with myself knowing that something bad happened to him because of me, especially after everything he has done for me and the baby." Dean nodded with a serious expression on his face. "We will, don´t worry." He said and kissed me once again.
Castiel was already gone by the time we got back to the living room.
"Liz you were right, Alistair has Jason. Cas gave us the location where he´s being held." Sam explained as he armed himself with weapons.
"Let´s go then, we´ve got no time to loose. Liz stay here. We´ll take care of it." Dean responded.
"What am I supposed to do? I can´t just sit around and do nothing." I objected.
"There´s no way you´re coming with us. I won´t put you and our baby in harms way. You´re in no condition to fight and besides it´ll be easier for Sam and me, knowing that you´re safe in here."
I knew Dean had a point, so I reluctantly agreed.
"We´ll be back soon. Don´t worry." Dean gently put a hand on my cheek and kissed me goodbye.
"You better be. Take care. You too Sammy."
So how did you like it? xxLois87
