Chapter 9: Nothing is what is seems, the feeling of belonging to your dreams

Crowley sat in the back seat of the impala with his eyes closed, focusing and trying to sense something, anything that would lead him to Lydia. The Winchesters would not tell him the location of where they were headed, knowing full well Crowley would leave them behind in a heartbeat. So he was forced to wait in misery while they drove to what felt like the other side of the earth.

"So how come the king of hell can't sense two humans? I mean isn't that how you find us half the time?" Dean asked, interrupting Crowley's concentration.

"Normally yes. Lydia is blocked somehow and I'm not sure why I'm not able to sense the boy. He must dabble in magic. My hellhounds haven't been able to pick up a trail either."

"Woah, hellhounds? What if they find them before we get there?" Sam asked.

Crowley smirked before saying, "I suppose there's a reason to drive faster then, isn't there boys?"

Dean stepped on the gas and Sam pulled the map out of the glove box to see how far away they were. Crowley went back to what he was doing only to be interrupted once more when Kraven appeared in the backseat next to him.

"Dude we are never carpooling with demons again." Dean voiced.

"Sir we have a problem. The man you told me to check out, he was on one of our lists."

"Lists?" Sam asked, curious.

"Shut it moose. Which list?" Crowley inquired.

Kraven looked at the king worriedly, not wanting to break the news to him while sitting so close. "Sir, Alex Mitchell isn't Alex Mitchell. He is the god, Deimos. But he has no power, his power was stripped by Hades himself."

"Crowley, did he just say god?" Dean asked angrily.

"The more important question you need to ask is where is his power now." Crowley said to no one in particular.

"And why would he want Lydia? She's human." Sam interjected.

Not wanting to talk and reveal anything to the Winchesters, Crowley began speaking to Kraven telepathically.

"Did you get a location on him?" Crowley asked.

"There was nothing at all on him. We've been tracking you and your location. The only thing out this way is woodland. They could be anywhere sir."

Crowley hated what he was feeling. The feeling of not knowing. Not knowing where Lydia was. Not knowing if she was hurt or worse dead. Anger surged through him at the thought and he knew that once he found Alex, there would be no mercy. A minute later Crowley felt all of the anger dissipate when he felt a strong presence of power. Something almighty, something new. Glancing over at Kraven, he could tell that the other demon felt it too.

"Boys, you two have been most helpful but we're going to take this from here." Crowley told them cryptically.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Dean said. "You don't even know where they are!"

Before the brothers knew it, Crowley and the other demon had disappeared from the car. Crowley knew without a doubt, the power that they felt was him. Alex had somehow gotten his power back and Crowley feared what that meant for Lydia. The demons knew that if they followed the power they would find them so they disappeared and reappeared in the woods.

"This way." Crowley said.

They walked along through the woods until Kraven finally voiced his opinion.

"Sir, what do you plan to do when we find him? He is a god, we don't have the power to…"

"I'm going to stop you right there. He may be strong but I assure you, he's no match for what we have." Crowley told the demon.

"Which is?"

Crowley snapped his fingers and before they knew it, they were surrounded by six hellhounds. He smirked before beginning to walk forward again with Kraven following reluctantly. After a few minutes they came across a small house, making Crowley pick up his pace and run inside through the open front door. Everything looked pretty normal as he looked around at the worn out couch and small table in the room. Walking into the next room, Kraven flipped on the light switch and looked around at the small study that held a desk and a few bookshelves.

"Do you feel that?" Crowley asked, looking around.

"Power. But not the same power we felt earlier. Look, over there." Kraven pointed at a large safe in the corner, haphazardly covered in a dirty blanket. "What do you suppose is in there?"

Crowley pulled the blanket off before saying, "Let's find out shall we?"

Kraven quickly tried to blow the door off of the safe and was sent flying backwards into the wall. Crowley looked down at him and grinned.

"Thank you for testing that theory for me. It must be protected by magic."

"You couldn't have warned me beforehand?" Kraven snapped as he pulled himself up off the ground.

"It was more fun this way." Crowley walked closer to the safe and closed his eyes as he let his hand hover over it. "Cistem Aperio." The safe's door immediately popped open leaving Crowley with a smug grin on his face. "Amateur."

The two demons quickly began pulling out anything important until they came across a small box in the back of the safe. Crowley pulled it out slowly and sat it gently on the desk. He could feel the power radiating from it and for some reason he wasn't able to tell whether it was good or evil.

"Did you find any information in there about this?" Crowley asked, looking over at Kraven who was reading some papers he found.

"You're going to want to see this." He said, handing the papers over to Crowley.

Looking down at the words, he was stunned for a moment before realizing that his assumptions about Lydia were right from the beginning. She wasn't fully human.

"He has a whole file on her from the time she was sixteen. Its says that she is a direct descendant of the goddess Hecate and was put into the hands of her protector's where they would watch over her."

"Who is the goddess Hecate?" Kraven questioned.

"She was the goddess of magic, the one who started it all. She was also said to be the goddess of the crossroads." Crowley said, laughing to himself.

"What a coincidence. So if the girl is just a descendent then she has no power right?"

"Presently? No, she has no power. But if I'm not mistaken, the power of the goddess was passed down and it lies right there in that box." Crowley pulled the lid open on the box and they both peered into it, staring at the vial containing a bright blue essence.

"Why wouldn't Deimos just take this power for himself instead of wasting all of this time trying to get his own back?" Kraven asked inquisitively.

"Because it was useless to him. Hecate was the goddess of magic after all. Most likely, only a direct descendant could take in the power. Hades must have entrusted the goddess with the power and it has been protected through the years. It must be her blood he needed."

"The girl. So if he had been watching her since she was sixteen, why wait until now to get his power back?"

Crowley was quickly becoming annoyed with all of Kraven's questions but he did have a point. Why wait all of these years? Flipping through the pages, he came across very in depth astrology research.

"How much do you know about astrology when it comes to mythology?" Crowley asked, reading over the papers.

"Astrology? You mean like stars and constellations?"

"According to this the only time that Deimos would be able to get his powers back was when these planets were in alignment and mercury was in retrograde. This is apparently a phenomenon that hasn't happened in centuries."

Kraven looked over at the charts Crowley was pointing at, amazed that all of this made sense to the king.

"We need to get to Lydia." Crowley said heatedly.

"Sir, maybe we should find something that can hurt or distract him first."

"You're the distraction." He replied with a chuckle when he seen the look on Kraven's face. "Don't worry, you'll have the full force of hellhounds with you."

"What if we gave the human the goddesses power. He'd certainly be no match for her right?"

"No!" Crowley furiously. "We have no idea what that would do to her. You will distract him until I have Lydia then we will convene below and come up with a plan to destroy him.

Crowley grabbed the glowing blue vial that contained the essence of the goddess Hecate and placed it inside his coat pocket. He knew he would never put Lydia in a position that would directly put her in danger but he also knew that he couldn't leave the power with Alex for fear that he might be able to find a way to harness it for himself. Crowley and Kraven walked back out of the front door and headed back into the woods in the direction that was radiating immense power.
