The one who was given wings

Silver Feathers

Rain was falling. Drenching anything in its path. including a young woman with long dark brown hair wearing a long black trench coat. She was barefoot and pale like she had never seen the sun before in her life. Aside from those factors she would appear to be a completely healthy individual with normal muscle mass and stood at 5'7".

But as the strange woman walked on to a street and stood there while looking up at the sky with nearly dead looking eyes similar in color to fading fire embers, the sound of a speeding car got louder and louder. Until finally the car turned a corner and would have run the woman over if two large silver wings didn't appear out of her back.

The driver quickly pulled over and looked around for the woman only to find her surrounded by silver feathers as she stood looking at the sky on top of his car

"Hey you ok?!" the man yelled, drawing the woman's attention before she looked away and disappeared into a nearby forest. "what the hell?"

Two days later

"So where to now?" a young man with short light brown hair and green eyes asked someone on the phone

"I want you to check out something at Lake McBride State Park in Iowa." A gruff voice said over the phone

"what we looking at?" the young man asked

"not sure yet but locals have been reporting seeing an angel in the forests near there." The man on the line said

"An Angel?" the green eyed man asked

"I want you to check it out before someone gets hurt." The man said before the line went dead

"yeah well great talking with you too pops." The green eyed man said with a sigh before he began to drive his classic '67 Chevy Impala to Iowa.

When the man arrived he made quick work of checking in to a hotel near the state park to give him a base of operations.

After that he visited the witnesses all of which said they were driving near the park and then there was a girl in the middle of the road and when they went to check on her she was either on top of their cars or to the side of the road surrounded by silver feathers.

Figuring this was just some kind of joke he started to head back to his hotel but like the witnesses said he nearly hit a girl who was standing in the middle of the road.

Quickly he jumped out of his car and looked around

"why are you here?" a female voice asked, causing the man to turn around and see the woman standing on the road behind him dressed in a black trench coat covered in dirt as her long hair was a mess with twigs and leaves stuck in it.

"I could ask you the same question?" he said and she merely looked up

"I was watching the stars." She said calmly as the man pulled out a handgun and regarded her carefully "I will not harm you."

"what proof do I have of that." He said calmly and she looked at him again as he seemed taken back by her fire ember like eyes

"I suppose you don't." she said almost sadly

"so why don't you tell me who you are?" the man asked and she looked at his face as she tilted her head

"who I am? Or what I am?" she asked with no emotion on her face "it's clear both questions are running through your mind now but which one should be asked or rather answered first?"

"why don't you start with your name." he said

"very well my name is Willamina" she said and he looked confused

"and what are you?" he asked

"I am a genetically modified, man made, angel." She said as two large silver wings appeared on her back "I am still human or I still believe I am. it is difficult to keep one's sanity or humanity when people treat you no better than a lowly animal." She said looking down at the ground

"what are you doing here?" the man asked

"I told you I was watching the stars." She said looking at him again tilting her head

"no I mean why here?" he asked again

"my creators completed their experiments and then killed themselves. I escaped the compound they held me in and retreated here as it is close to my home before all of this. But my family is dead. My home is gone. All I ever knew outside is gone." She said as tears fell down her face

"hey, hey." The man said drawing Willamina's attention again "why don't you come with me then." He said calmly and she tilted her head again

"with you?"

"I'm a hunter, I hunt things that go bump in the night." He said and she looked around

"like ghosts, and monsters?" she asked and he nodded before she looked at the ground in thought

"if you'll have me then I'd like that." She said and he approached her cautiously before her wings disappeared leaving only silver feathers floating down around her.

A few weeks later the young man, Dean, met up with his father John Winchester who regarded the woman with caution much like his son first had. Then after performing a few tests on her to make sure she was human he eased up a bit but was still rather brash around her.

About a year went by and the two hunters started to ease up around Willamina as she continued to prove her worth time and time again on hunts.

But now John went missing and sent dean a strange voicemail

"time to get back up." Dean said
