Queen Of Hell || Dean Winchester

20. She's a Witch?

"Where did the vampire go?" Sam looked around in confusion. We were in a department store, where the vampire had run into a few seconds earlier. But he had disappeared into the crowd.

All of a sudden, my head started to hurt. It felt like my brain was going to explode. I groaned and sank to the knees. "What's wrong?" Dean asked worriedly and ran to me quickly. Then our gaze fell on Sam, who was holding the mysterious diamond ring. It was glowing white. The two looked at me speechless. Unexpectedly, I felt a hard object on my head and fell to the ground.

When I awoke, I was tied up in the dungeon of the
bunker. I tried to fight against the ties. "Iron," Dean said, who was standing with Sam in front of me. He had his arms crossed. "You are not going anywhere. Tell us, why did you lie to us." I frowned. "I didn't lie to you."
"Yes you did." Dean's voice got louder. "You are a
monster. The ring proved it. So, what are you? A
vampire or... a werewolf? Damn it, how could we have been so blind, Sammy?"

"What's your plan?" Sam came a step towards me. His face was cold. "Guys, I am not a monster. Please, let me go. Come on, this is a misunderstanding." Dean took an iron bar and held it to my arm, which immediately began to glow. I twisted my face in pain. "No, I don't think so. Now, tell us!" He threw the bar aside. As it hit the floor with a loud bang, I winced. I felt how the bonds on my hands burned into my skin. "Please, remove those ties. It burns..." Iron was a weak point for most monsters and made them harmless. But why did it hurt me? I was no monster.
"Not until you tell us the truth." Dean sounded more
serious than ever before. I didn't know him like that.

All of a sudden, Castiel and another man were standing next to us. When Cass untied my bonds, I collapsed to my knees in exhaustion. "Cass, what are you doing?" Sam asked him puzzled. "I know now why Sara has these
visions. She is a witch." I had to laugh. "A witch?
Really?" Cass nodded slightly. "Yes. And you are the only one who can see the hellhounds because they are your father's." He pointed to the man. "That's Crowley, a demon. And the king of hell."

Carefully, I stood up. That couldn't be true. Crowley took the floor. "You are my daughter, Darling. I have been looking for you since a long time. Your whole name is Seraphina. When your mother found out that I am not a human, she tried to hide you from me. Since she was a witch, she could cast a protective spell on you. But it was removed after you died. And now we are here." I stroked the hair out of my face. "So, I have powers?"
"Not yet. First, you must perform a ritual and become the queen of hell. After that you will be the most powerful witch in the world, I can assure you." I took a deep breath. That was too much information at once.

Then I remembered something. I took my knife and ran towards Crowley, but before I could reach him, he snapped his fingers and the knife disappeared.
"Darling, what..."
"You killed my mother, right?"
His expression remained unchanged. "No, why should I?"
"Don't try to make any excuses. I saw the hellhound that day. He didn't do anything to me, but my mother... Why? Because she wanted to protect me from you?"
"Darling..."

"Don't call me Darling!" I was yelling now.
"Okay, Seraphina. Listen. That day, one of my hellhounds was manipulated. From the angel Lucifer. He ordered him to kill you and your mother, knowing how strong you would be one day. He has wanted to become the king of hell for a long time and saw you as a competitor. But my hellhound sensed this power and that's why he spared you." I shook my head in disbelieve. "But the day I was killed, the hellhounds didn't spare me."

"Yes, Lucifer has become more powerful. The hellhounds had to obey him. Please, believe me daughter." I stepped back a bit. "I will never become the queen, understand?"
He smiled at me and replied "You will." Then he
vanished. Dean looked at me with a sad expression.
"We really thought you were lying. I'm so sorry, Sara."
I nodded and gave him a quick smile.

"It's okay, really. But what do we do now?" Cass handed me my knife, that Crowley had taken away and began to speak. "We can't do anything. As long as you don't
accept the deal, everything will remain the same. I hope."
