Hello everyone! Here's the other half I was talking about. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you enjoyed the quick update!
This chapter takes place about 3 or 4 years after the end of the previous chapter.
"Bri!" Someone called out to Brianna, who was currently walking through a patch of green on her college campus.
Brianna stopped and turned around, and lit up when she saw Alice running to catch up to her.
"Hey!" Brianna smiled as Alice paused to catch her breath. Alice's messenger bag weighed down her right shoulder, most likely full of poetry books or creative essays.
"We totally need to study for the Psych final together tonight." Alice started walking again, Brianna by her side.
"Definitely." Brianna nodded. "I have so many flashcards for it, it's ridiculous."
"I know." Alice replied, looking down at the time on her cellphone. "Oops, gotta go to Shakespeare."
"Yeah, I'm almost late for Forensics." Brianna replied.
"See you tonight?" Alice asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yup." Brianna smiled as her roommate sped off into the distance, towards the English building.
Then, Brianna saw someone else she knew.
His sandy brown and 6'3 stature was hard to miss in a crowd. He was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, a blue book bag hanging off of one shoulder. His brown eyes concentrated ahead.
"Mason!" She called out, a wide smile appearing on her face. She waved and finally caught Mason's attention.
She rushed up and hugged him.
"Hey, Bri." He smiled.
"Hey." Bri let go of Mason. "Ready for the Forensics exam?"
"Yeah." Mason wrapped his hand around Bri's giving her a small but meaningful kiss on the lips.
The two talked as they walked towards the Science building a block away.
Since Forensics was the last class Bri and Mason had that day, the two headed back to their dorm rooms.
Bri invited Mason into her dorm room, which was neatly messy. Bri shared it with Alice, a stroke of pure luck (or was it?).
"You got Psych tomorrow, right?" Mason asked, setting his bag down while looking around at Bri's desk, piled high with flashcards.
"Yeah." Bri let out a little laugh.
Mason threw himself down on Brianna and Alice's couch, which resided in the back corner of the room. "I'm so glad I'm done with my exams. Nothing left to do but to get my diploma." Mason taunted.
"Oh yeah?" Brianna lifted an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and turned to face Mason.
"I mean, of course I'll help you study." Mason corrected himself.
Anything else?" Brianna asked, walking over to Mason, straddling his lap.
"Oh, I'm sure I can think of something…" Mason trailed off smiling, as he ran his hands up Brianna's thighs.
"I was thinking of pizza." She whispered.
"Oh." Mason couldn't form a reply.
Brianna let out the tiniest of giggles as she bent down, dipping her head low.
She kissed Mason, one hand rested on his chest, and the other cupping his face. The kiss started as soft and gentle and then deepened.
Suddenly, Alice burst through the door.
"Oh, ew! Do I need to come back later?" Alice made a disgusted face, cringing slightly.
Brianna and Mason separated. Brianna sighed. "No." She got off of Mason and walked over to her desk. "Ready to study?" Brianna asked Alice as Mason got up off the couch.
"Yeah." Alice plopped down on her bed.
"Alright. I'm heading out." Mason walked closer to the door. "Small cheese and a large pepperoni?" He asked, making sure he got their usual order correct.
"Oh, and a side of bread sticks?" Brianna begged, turning around to face him.
"Of course." Mason answered.
"Thanks, babe." Brianna gave Mason a quick kiss on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Mason smiled at Brianna as he exited the dorm room.
Brianna took all the flashcards and set them down on her bed, ready to study. She sat down and finally looked up at Alice. "What?" She asked, confused at the look on Alice's face.
"Nothing." Alice smirked, putting a fist under her chin.
Brianna raised an eyebrow, wanting an answer.
"It's just that you guys make the cutest couple." Alice answered.
Brianna rolled her eyes and kinda smiled. A blush slowly emerged on her cheeks. "I know."
"Should we start studying?" Alice asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah." Brianna replied, picking up the top flash card on the pile closest to her.
About thirty minutes later, Brianna received a call on her cell phone.
"Hello?" Brianna asked.
"Is this Brianna Carson?" A man on the other end asked.
"Yes..." Brianna was trying to figure out who was asking.
"Do you know Mason Palmer?" The man asked.
"Yes, he's my boyfriend. Why?" Brianna sat up straight.
"Miss, I am sorry to inform you that your boyfriend was killed in a hit and run crash on Main Street a few minutes ago." The man explained.
"What?!" Brianna stood up. "Who is this?"
"Officer Price with the local police." Officer Price answered.
Brianna was filled with devastation. "Mason... is dead?" She managed to get out.
"If you could come down to the station and identify the body, it would be greatly appreciated." Price added.
"Okay... Okay..." Brianna nodded.
"Drive safely, miss." Officer Price added before hanging up.
Brianna dropped her phone from her ear.
"What? What happened?" Alice asked, concern in her voice.
"Mason..." Tears dripped from Brianna's eyes. "Mason is dead."
"Oh my... Bri... I don't... How... Are you alright?" Alice asked, stepping closer to her friend.
"No!" Brianna let herself sob on Alice's accepting shoulder.
"It's going to be okay, baby... Shhh... You'll be alright." Alice gently rocked Brianna back and forth.
"I just can't..." Brianna let go of Alice. "I'm... I'm..." She paused. "You're right. I am going to be alright." Brianna asserted herself.
"Want me to drive?" Alice offered.
"Yeah." Brianna nodded.
"Alright."
Brianna pulled on a pair of shoes and pocketed her cellphone while Alice grabbed her car keys.
The two girls got into a rusted red pickup truck and Alice drove down to the local police station. Brianna stared quietly out the window the whole ride over.
Brianna and Alice walked into the station.
Brianna walked up to the front desk.
"Excuse me. There was a hit and run that killed Mason Palmer. I was asked to identify the body." Brianna spoke up.
"Oh yes. Miss Carson." The officer behind the desk stood up and came around. "Officer Price." He introduced himself. "Come with me." He started to lead Brianna down a hallway.
Brianna looked back at Alice, who gave her a reassuring nod. Brianna continued on with Officer Price to the Autopsy room in the back of the large and busy police station.
Brianna and Officer Price arrived at the Autopsy room, where there was a doctor waiting.
"Miss Carson, this is Doctor Bell." Officer Price introduced.
Doctor Bell nodded. "Whenever you're ready." His kind face did not push for any urgency.
Brianna slowly approached the body covered by a sheet on metal table. She pulled the sheet back to reveal Mason's face, slightly scraped and bruised.
Brianna immediately gasped and turned away, a hand flying to her mouth.
"It's him, isn't it?" Doctor Bell asked quietly.
Brianna nodded her head, tears squeezing out of her eyes.
Officer Price took Brianna's identification of the body and left the room, making a note of it in his report.
"Take all the time you need." Doctor Bell allowed Brianna to stay as long as she liked. He then left.
Brianna turned back to Mason. She gently placed a hand on his cheek. His skin was still slightly warm. She found his hand under the sheet and held it tightly.
"I love you, Mason. Nothing will change that." Brianna managed a smile. "I'm going to miss you. A lot." She paused. "I'm sure I'll see you again soon." Brianna let go. "Watch over him, please?" She looked upwards for a moment. She wiped her tears away, covered Mason with the sheet, and walked out.
Later that night, and early into the morning, Alice and Brianna continued studying. The next day, the two took their Psych exam. A couple of days later, it was graduation day. Brianna and Alice were dressed in their caps and gowns, happy to graduate. But Brianna remained depressed because of the absence of Mason.
At the end of the day, Brianna made a phone call while she was on the road.
"Mom?"
"Brianna!" Her mother answered her phone. "I just hit the road to go home. Would you like me to turn around? Did I forget something?"
"No, no." Brianna paused. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm going away for a while."
"What? Why?" Mrs. Carson sounded concerned.
"It's nothing to worry about, Mom. I don't know how long I'll be gone though." Brianna added.
"Why are you going away?" She sounded heartbroken more than anything.
"God." Brianna smiled. "I'm a vessel for one of his angels."
Mrs. Carson stayed quiet for a moment. "Okay. Okay. Okay, baby. Okay. I love you, you know that right?"
"I love you, too, Mom." Brianna replied.
"Just don't forget me, alright?" Mrs. Carson pleaded.
"I could never, Mom." Brianna answered, a small tear in her eye.
"Okay, baby. Goodbye… for now." Mrs. Carson stayed strong for her daughter,
"Goodbye." Brianna smiled when she hung up.
Brianna was already halfway through her 6-hour drive to Los Angeles and she stayed quiet for the majority of the time.
She finally arrived in Los Angeles, and drove to a familiar building. She parked her car and walked towards the entrance. She traveled through extensive security lines and finally checked in with a police officer.
"Who are you here to see?" He asked, holding a pen in his right hand, while several record books and binders were on a table in front of him.
"Phillip Carson." Brianna replied.
The officer ran his finger down a list of names and stopped when he got to 'Carson, Phillip.' He checked a box by the name. He filled in a visitor pass and handed it to Brianna. "Just continue down this hall and show the pass to the officer by the red door." He informed Brianna.
Brianna had already heard this pre-written speech before. This was her sixth time at the California State Prison to visit her father.
She reached the end of the hall and handed her pass to the officer.
He opened the red door for her, which revealed a room full phone booths with glass in between them. Several other officers and guards were standing watch over the few prisoners already meeting and speaking with loved ones through the phones provided.
"Seat number 16, near the end, please." The officer directed her.
Brianna nodded in thanks and walked over to Seat 16. She pulled out the chair and then sat down. She heard a door opened and craned her neck to look through the glass in front of her. She saw her father being shuffled in, dressed in orange and hands cuffed. A guard pointed to Seat 16 and Brianna's father walked over. He sat down and Brianna could finally see his face.
His father had a moustache growing, and a beard with grays threaded through it. His eyes held more memories in them, and his steps more slow. He wasn't the oldest inmate here, but he certainly wasn't the youngest. He knew his place in the vicious system that the more dangerous inmates had in place.
Brianna let out a little smile, tears already on the edges of her eyes. Her father was filled with happiness at the sight of his daughter. He picked up the phone on his side of the glass and held it to his ear. Brianna picked up her phone.
"Hi, Dad." Brianna started.
"My baby girl, so big." Her father had a sad smile on his face.
"I graduated today." Brianna spoke slightly quieter than usual.
"Oh, that's right." Her father nodded once. "Were you number one in your class?" He asked.
"No." Brianna shook her head, a small smile emerging on her face. "Top 10, though." She added.
"I'm so proud of you, honey." Her father replied.
"How are you holding up?" Brianna asked.
"I'm doing alright." His hand momentarily paused on the small cut on his temple. "I'm doing just fine." He added quickly.
Brianna dropped her smile a bit. "There's something I came here to tell you." She started.
"What is it?" He asked quietly.
"I'm going away. I don't know where, I don't know for how long." Brianna explained.
Her father took in all this information. "Why?" He finally asked.
"The angel, Daddy. The angel is coming for me." Brianna said, with a look of excitement and awe on her face.
Her father's face faltered slightly. "I'm happy for you, Brianna. I really am." He paused for a long moment. "Just be safe, alright? Be safe, be happy, be faithful." He put his hand on the glass.
Brianna put her hand over his; the only thing separating them was the glass.
"Of course. Of course, of course." Brianna held back tears. "I love you, Daddy."
"I love you, too, baby." Her father replied, a tear already dripping out of his eye.
"Now go. Go live your life." Her father urged. "I'll be here, waiting for you." He gave his daughter a smile of encouragement.
"Okay, I will." She smiled back, her hand lingering a moment longer.
They hung up their phones and stood up.
Brianna's father was escorted back out by a guard while Brianna took an extra moment longer to memorize his face.
Brianna walked back out the red door, down the hallway to check out, and then exited the building. She got in her car and drove towards the shore.
She made one last call on her phone.
"Alice?" Brianna started, voice already wavering.
"Bri! Are you alright? Where are you?" Alice asked.
"I'm fine." Brianna answered. "I visited my dad."
"Oh." Alice couldn't manage a reply.
"Whatever happens next…" Brianna took a deep breath, "I just want to let you know that I couldn't have asked for a better friend… a better sister."
"Brianna…" Alice almost started crying. "What are you doing right now? Please don't break my heart." Alice begged.
"The angel, Alice." Brianna explained, crying for the umpteenth time that week. "The angel is coming for me." Brianna let out a small laugh. "And if she doesn't, I don't… I can't anymore."
"Bri, please! Please don't!" Alice scrambled for words.
"It's okay, Alice." Brianna tried to reassure her friend. "Faith, right?" She asked.
"...Right." Alice answered quietly.
Brianna had arrived at her location close to nightfall. She parked her car and got out.
"Your angel might come, too." Brianna added.
"Yeah." Alice's voice was shaky.
Brianna had walked up to the end of the quiet, deserted pier. She stood at the end of the highest part of it.
"Alice," Brianna started.
"Yeah?" Alice sniffed.
"Thank you for the best years of my life."
"You're welcome." Alice let out a laugh of sadness.
"I'll see you again, soon. I promise."
"Alive, please. I want you to be alive." Alice begged.
"I'll make every effort." Brianna swore.
"Okay."
"Okay."
"I'm going to miss you." Alice sighed, depressed.
"Me, too." Brianna replied.
"Goodbye, Bri."
"Goodbye, Alice." Brianna paused. "For now." She added quietly.
"For now." Alice echoed.
Both hung up their phones.
Brianna put her phone in her pocket.
She looked to the skies. "You can do it now." She called out.
Nothing happened.
Brianna's grip on the wooden rail behind her loosened. The icy blue water below her had small ripples echoing through it.
"Please." She begged quietly.
Then, a bright light surrounded her and she heard a voice.
"Yes." She replied quietly, a small smile on her face, tears of relief and happiness in her eyes.
The light entered her body.
Brianna was now possessed by the angel Ambriel.
I hope you like it. The next chapter will jump back to Sam, Dean, Cas, and Celeste waiting for Ambriel to wake up.
