Piper was turning pages in her book. Frustrated there was nothing on angels or nephilms. There was lots of indexes about demons, but none angelic.
"You won't find anything Piper."
"Grams. There has to be something, anything."
"For years no one believed in angels. That is why there is nothing in there."
Piper swears and slams the book with her fists.
"Piper honey, you can figure things out. Hmh. Angels. Ugh. I met the Angels of Destiny. They never gave their names, but I asked around. Their names are Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos."
"We met one of them, he was a middle aged man."
"Yeah. She takes on many forms, her and her sisters usually have feminine bodies. Usually, with blonde hair and look like sorority girls. That was Cloho."
"You hadn't met the other two, but in the future you might. They gave me a message, thank you. For fixing the mess You-Know-Who, left behind."
Piper says nothing. Other than her angelic friends, she wanted nothing to do with angels. Never mind Heaven or God. All she wanted was Sam and Dean back. She was thinking on what to do when she had a thought. Rowena. She said she listened to "The Whispers."
"Phoebe, Prue, Paige!"
After explaining her plans, her sisters were skeptical. Rowena was sick for a week. If she didn't have her magical knowledge, she most likely would have went into a deep coma. Rowena said listening to other worlds, or planes of existence was like diving deep in the bottom of the ocean. Go too far, and you will be crushed. Rowena also warned that stronger worlds are harder to access. Like the last world she saw. Death's Presence made it so much harder. She warned that if God was close by, it would destroy her.
They were just standing around when Phoebe spoke up.
"Okay. If Sam and Dean are trapped, then we need a spell to retrieve them. Unfortunately no one knows how to open it. The one that may have known, is in hiding. We need to think more."
"I thought about it enough. I'm calling Rowena. Hell, I'll summon Crowley."
A day later, the sisters were in the attic with the witch Rowena and Crowley. They trapped Crowley in a Devil's Trap, they weren't dumb, with supernatural handcuffs. The sisters helped Rowena with the ingredients she needed. A few minutes later, she was crossed legged on the floor with her eyes closed.
She saw monsters. They were running around chasing each other. This was the afterlife of where the monsters go after they die. Rowena seen this place before. That is when she met the friendly vampire Benny LaFitte.
One century ago, she was trying to tap into different worlds. She was over there hundred years old and was starting to get bored and restless. She knew of Merlin's spell, to spy on other worlds, but she could only see a limited number of them. One world, it was weird. Nothing but squirrels. However, that world was beautiful. She was almost jealous.
She decided to try again. She saw Hell. She immediately yanked herself out of there, especially when someone found her and told her she was unconscious for a few hours. Ugh. She forced herself to suppress it. Especially what she saw. She also went to the astral plane, the poor things were lost and confused and ignored the reapers that were trying to take them to their final destination. Heaven, the angel in charge refused to let her in, she found herself alone.
It was by accident that she discovered Purgatory. She was exhausted from her mind travels, but was determined to finish what she started. Wow. There was monsters everywhere. She saw them chasing each other. Most of them respawned after a few hours, others never did. They were all fighting for territory, but when they sensed a powerful evil being, they all put their differences aside to fight these evil creatures.
"Leviathans. They rule this place. Other than Eve, our 'Mother,' all monsters fear them. Even the Alphas fear them." The vampire tells Rowena. Rowena was intrigued.
"You can see me?"
"Not see you in a traditional sense, but you smell good. That is a lovely scent your wearing. Maybe I ask what it is?"
Rowena smiled. "It was a gift from a man named Frances Tumblety."
"You mean, Jack the Ripper?"
"He was a cheating dog. Ugh. The only great thing he left behind was the perfume he bought for me."
The vampire laughs. "He killed dozens of women, and your mad that he cheated? Ha ha ha. Anyway, how did you get in here? No human can access this place, only angels, monsters and reapers."
"I used a spell. I can't physically be there, but how did you smell me?"
"My senses are strong. The Old Man made sure my senses were strong. Even in death, I can sense others in this world."
Rowena nods. "What is this place?"
"Purgatory. This is where we 'freaks' go when we die. An eternity of running. I'm Benny."
"Rowena McCloud."
"LaFitte. As you can see me, I am a vampire. Anyway, can you break me out?"
"I wish I could, but I can only see. If I could touch, I'll be a very wealthy and powerful witch"
"Too bad. Anyway. You better go. I sense the leviathans. Their senses are a million times stronger than the Alphas. Goodbye."
"Farewell."
Rowena and Benny talked occasionally since. She liked Benny, even more when he admitted he never bit a human. He said he ate animal blood. Rowena already discovered a formula to cure a vampire and werewolf. If they turned, but never touched a human blood on their lips from the human's flesh, they can reverse to become human again. Benny was overjoyed to hear that. Rowena promised she'll free Benny.
For now, she was searching Purgatory. Disappointingly, she didn't see Benny. But as she traveled, being careful not to run into any leviathans, she saw two doorways. One was leading to Hell, the other was the exit to their plane. She saw the exit to their world, it was activated with a human's presence. It won't open with any monsters present. She was about to leave when she saw a reaper. He was leading a soul out of Hell. She recognized him, the soul was a man that was a CEO of major scandal. His company went bankrupt and he went to prison for countless extortion crimes. He stole millions in stock in bonds, assets, and investor's money.
He died while in prison, but not before his actions caused many people to lose their life savings and livelihood. Many former employees and investors went homeless, after losing their homes. Others lives were turned upside down. Some even posed for Playboy. Bills had to be paid.
Seeing that soul, Rowena wondered what that man offered that reaper. After the scandal broke, the FBI sized his property and bank accounts. They had to pull a lot of strings to get his offshore bank accounts since he hid them in many countries under different aliases. The man and his family was dead broke after that. Some of his children didn't escape unscathed. Most of them were sued, one of his children almost committed suicide from the stress. Good thing they saved him in time, he works as a priest now working with the homeless.
The reaper led the soul out to the exit. Rowena followed them out, good thing too, because the leviathans followed their scent. After he let him out, Rowena's head slowly stopped aching. It was easier spying in her world, than looking at other worlds. She saw the reaper leading him out of Purgatory. Then she saw him opening up a "ribbon."
The ribbon led up to the sky, then the reaper took the man's soul and took him up. Presumably to Heaven. Rowena was fascinated. She gave a mental note to herself, when her time came, to get on their good side. Just in case.
The reaper came back after a few minutes, then flew away. Rowena followed him to see what he offered him, couldn't be money, he was broke. But what the reaper took confused Rowena. It was a picture. When she looked closely, it was a picture of the man's daughter. The reaper must have cared about her, he rubbed his finger over her picture. Then he disappeared.
Rowena never saw the reaper again, but she saw the daughter. She was walking down the street holding a slurpee. She looked happy. Then Rowena realized, that was the reaper. The daughter was sick and dying. She was in the hospital dying of cancer. After she died, and the reaper took her soul away, the reaper took her as his vessel. He wanted to become human. He even erased his memory after ripping out his grace. Too bad, Rowena wanted to use him just in case. She left him alone, the reaper obviously wanted to live a normal life. Not as Heaven's employee. God obviously didn't care, neither than the Archangel Raphael. He was in charge of the reapers after Death.
Rowena tried to concentrate. She used the same spell to access other worlds, it was a lot easier, sadly only because she saw the other worlds were gone. Squirrel World was gone, along with the other worlds she went to. She saw one world. Ugh. It was currently being destroyed. She forced herself to get out of there, the pain of watching those people dying made her heart break. Especially the angels, they were being sucked in the Nothingness.
Good thing God was gone, if He ever caught her...She then checked out another world. Was this world under a apocalypse? She saw people wearing masks. Most complied, others argued with random people for wearing masks. Rowena shook her head. Looks like most people were the same in every world. No one follows basic rules. She turned to another world, it was empty. Where is everyone? She looked around till she saw a man. He was wearing Sam's face, but she saw that wasn't Sam. It was the Archangel Lucifer. He was praying. To who? God? He prayed till she saw a light. Then after Rowena opened her eyes, she saw an African-American man. That had to be Archangel Michael. They were talking in hushed tones. She heard that they were discussing their inevitable demise. The world was empty. No one occupied this world, not even bugs. Hmh. Looks like Lucifer being in charge killed all life on Earth. Except his garden.
She left and checked out others. One wasn't it, she couldn't sense Sam or Dean. Wonder if they existed there? It was dead, just like the last world she was at. The fight with the angels was over. The humans there didn't celebrate, they were in fear. Looking at the sky, she saw why. This world was going to be destroyed. When, no one knew.
The next world she checked out. She saw the Charmed sisters. All three were older, and all had children. Phoebe was married to a cupid. A soul that was reborn as a cupid agent. Paige was married to a cop, and Piper was with Leo. She smiled at all three, then left.
The last world she went to she saw Sam. He wasn't alone, he was sitting with three other people. She recognized one of them, Donatello Redfield. He must have been on that plane. The others she didn't recognize, but there was something different about them, like they were missing something important. Then she saw Dean. But that wasn't Dean, she could see that. Dean's eyes wouldn't glow like that. Sam shook in fear, especially Donatello's. Then she saw something horrifying. Donatello was being mind tortured by the angel. The screams were too much for her, it was worse than Hell. She opened her eyes sweating in fear.
"What's wrong Rowena?" Paige asked.
Fergus just smirked at her. "Mother, spying is too much for ya?"
She looked at Piper. "I saw Sam. He's in great danger. Same with the people on that plane. If you don't save Sam, he and Dean will be lost."
Sam was alive? Piper would have jumped up in down with excitement, but seeing Rowena's grim expression she didn't.
"Rowena, what did you see."
"Dean, he was torturing that prophet of yours. But that wasn't Dean." After seeing the sister's expressions.
"Whoever that angel was he was torturing Donatello. But I saw Sam, girls, he's running out of time, especially Dean. If he is not saved, he will be lost forever. We need to find those Tablets."
Piper wanted to scream. Even with the Tablets, without a prophet they were just paperweights. They were discussing their options. Forgetting Crowley was listening.
Crowley smirked at the sisters. Before the god Plutus untimely demise, he traded a few damned souls for a book. The book had no name, but it contained a spell. The dragons wrote it, it contained a spell to open Purgatory. It wasn't hard, it was meant to release "Mother." Whatever or whoever that was. Crowley made sure to get those souls back after Plutus' death, they were his. He also saw a footnote, how to open the rift without the Mother. But that spell was only accessible to a citizen of Purgatory. He already sent his demons to find her/him. So far, there was no leads. No matter. He will get access than absorb all the souls.
Kevin Tran was typing on his computer. He yawned at the boring paper he was writing to potential colleges. As much as he was thought his whole life was supposed to be following the script, he felt he was meant to do something more with his life.
"Kevin? Did you finish the paper yet? Harvard doesn't like slackers."
"Almost mom!" He called back. After hearing his mom's footsteps walking away, he tore his eyes away from the computer and decided to take a small break. Opening up a can of pop, he went and looked out the window. Hmm. A storm was coming. Weird, the weather said no storms was coming. What's that about?
Meanwhile, the demon Meg was opening the rock that she found. She and her brother Tom were under Crowley's orders to obtain the Tablets. They already killed the archeologists that found them, they would most likely study this rock and display it in a museum somewhere. If they knew what this rock was really containing. They weren't alone, ex angels Castiel and Hannah were with them.
While Kevin was looking at the weird clouds, Tom was busy flirting with the demon that came in the room. Ruby. She was dating their boss Lilith, but Lilith wasn't paying any attention to Ruby anymore, maybe because of God. Ruby didn't care, all Lilith talked about was her ex husband these days. What her life would been like if Lucifer didn't turn her.
Ruby didn't care. She liked Sam, and was attracted to Castiel, and even with her legions of lovers, including the demon Astoroth, the one she sold herself to, Tom's presence made her hot. She liked sex, a lot. Her life before she went to Hell, liked having sexual relations. Her coven was one of the darker ones, if they didn't sacrifice animals, for their dark lord, they brought back random men and women for orgies.
There was nothing wrong with sex, even before she sold her soul, she had fun with others. Church leaders, royalty, bakers, the list was endless. God invented it, so it couldn't be all bad. One of their most popular members was a man named Charles. He was cute. He often came and joined them on their fun. Everyone there loved him, even her than boss Astoroth.
The Black Plague was rampant, but whenever Charles wasn't around none of them ever got sick. It was like he was an angel. Ruby admired him, she could almost say like she was in love. His eyes. So beautiful, so kind. All of them were entranced by his presence. His beard was very long, but when he trimmed it to a shorter length, everyone there fell in love. Unfortunately he left for good. That is when everyone got sick.
The only one that didn't get sick was Astoroth. She smirked when their lovers died one by one. Before Ruby died, she saw her laughing.
"Ten years. Your time's up." That was the last thing she saw. Before she knew it, she was in Hell. That torture was endless. The demon Alistair took great pleasure in torturing her. Since time in Hell moved differently than Earth, she was in there for eons. She turned into a demon after 60,000 years. The day she turned, she was let out of the rack. Another poor soul came and replaced her, Meg was her name.
Her name wasn't really Meg, it was a nickname. Her human name was Pearl. She was of aristocratic origin. She sold her soul to save herself and her "brother" from being married off to random people. Pearl was scheduled to be married to her father's cousin. An old man that needed a wife to continue his bloodline. Pearl refused. She met her cousins, all of them were retarded. Most were in asylums, the ones that "passed" were immediately married off to other relatives. The lucky ones were with total strangers. Then after the children were born, they were quietly sent away, never to be seen again.
Tom was her sisters' boyfriend. They loved each other and wanted to get married, but both set of parents refused. Tom, who's real name was Tomkin, was considered beneath them. He heard of Meg's deal and offered his soul as well. The crossroads demon laughed. He gave them them their ten years, plus five extra for their desperation. He was impressed by their sacrifice. Pearl's parents and her dad's cousin died in a tragic fire, the one her wedding was being held at. Tomkin, Pearl and her sister Inés ran away to France.
Tomkin and Inés were married in a private ceremony. Pearl was a witness. She clapped when they kissed. They lived happily for fifteen years. The day before their deal was due, they left quietly in the night, making sure Inés and her children obtained their noble inheritance.
They killed themselves before the demonic hounds came. Meg killed Tomkin first, then she slashed her own neck. Their souls went to Hell, and Meg and Tomkin took turns on the rack. After many eons of torture, Tomkin turned first. He then became a apprentice of Alistair. He tortured Pearl angering her. She turned from her fury. The demon Azazel was watching from the sidelines and was impressed by their fury. No demons carried that much anger. He then took them as his "children."
He trained them both. He sent Pearl to become Alistair's apprentice. Both eventually forgot about their human lives and became demons. They wrecked havoc on Earth, even before the Gate opened. The demon had a few meat suits, but it was Meg Masters that she liked the most. She cut her hair and bleached it blonde. She then dressed "slutty" according to Meg. The soul was gone, it left while Meg was smoked out. She liked her new life, especially while on Earth. She hated Hell. She hated Crowley more, he made Alistair look like a amateur.
Tomkin became Tom. He found one of his descendants, and took him as his meat suit. Strangely enough he looked like exactly his ancestor, Tomkin, whose family name was now forgotten by history. The demon saw that and wanted that body. "Tom" and "Meg" were now brother and sister. Azazel was their "father."
Tom was checking out Ruby. Ruby was checking him out back. Meg rolled her eyes, Ruby was a whore. She didn't like Ruby, but respected her. She admitted she was jealous she slept with Sam. Sam was someone she liked, she never slept with anyone except Alistair, if you can consider their sexual trysts, 'sex.' All of the time she was forced. She hated Alistair and dreamed about killing him, but not before putting *him* on the rack.
Meg eventually got over her crush on Sam, but Castiel. Damn, he was so sexy. She wondered if she should eliminate Hannah, so she can have Castiel for herself. She was only helping the two angels because she didn't want to die. She heard of The Nothingness, every demon and angel feared it. Even Alistair. The Creature that lived there was more scary than God. When the rock broke there was a crash of thunder. Then when the Tablet was revealed, she handed it to Castiel. No way was she handing this over to Crowley, Crowley was a jackass.
Kevin was staring at the lighting. Then when he saw a huge bolt, is when he was struck. He saw symbols. Endless knowledge of the world's secrets. He saw the Tablet. He knew he had a mission. To protect it. He quickly threw some clothes in a small bag and climbed out the window, he had a mission. To become the Protector of the Tablet.
