Fractured Souls

Hellhounds And Other Monstrous Things

Ava's P.O.V

Crowley grabbed my arm and suddenly we were in an old building. 

Teleporting I guess. Nothing can surprise me, honestly. Angels? Demons? teleportation isn't farfetched. 

When my dizziness from the teleportation calmed down I took a good look around. It was quite amazing actually. 

At least on the inside since I haven't seen the outside yet. There were brick walls like those you see in movies of the middle ages or that TV show Merlin.

I love it, I could get used to hanging around here.

There is a throne at the end of the room. It's a pretty simple throne. Not like the one in Game of Thrones. 

Crowley's throne is nothing compared to that one, but then again nothing can really compare to that throne. 

I know I'm a geek, don't act surprised.

"Sooo... Where's Link?" I asked Crowley nervously. 

"He's right here, love." He said while petting the air.

 "Haha, that's really funny, 'mate'. Seriously where is he?" I asked not amused at all. 

"He's right here. Go get her boy." He said to the air.

Suddenly I was flat on the ground with a heavy force on my chest. 

What the actual fuck? I felt something lick the side of my face. 

What kind of sorcery is this?

"Help! I'm being attacked by air!" I screamed at no one in particular. 

"Relax love. Link stand down." Crowley commanded while laughing. 

I felt the force fade and hear a dog-like whimper. 

"If you don't understand it yet, Link is a hellhound. I disguised him as a normal dog to watch you 24/7. Clever right?" Crowley looked at me proudly. 

"So my dog is a hellhound?... That's fucking awesome. Is he still mine? Can I keep him?" I jumped around excitedly. 

My dog is a hell-freaking-hound!

"Of course, you can keep him! He's always been yours. You raised him after all." Crowley smirked and chuckled. 

He's mine!!! Hell yeah! 

"Come here Link... Wait, How am I supposed to be able to see him?" I asked Crowley confused. 

"Oh yeah, that's right. Link, lick her over her eyes."

 Wait, what? 

Suddenly I felt a huge tongue over my eyes. 

Oh my god Ewww! Eww!! That's gross!

I have hellhound mucus in my eyes! I blinked rapidly and tried to wipe my eyes. When I finally could see again there was a wolf... or more like a beast in front of me.

He is enormous! He was the size of a mini pony! He had midnight black fur with blood-red eyes. Honestly the coolest looking animal I had ever seen.

"You can make him appear and disappear whenever, and where ever you want, but remember he is a hellhound and he has to do his job either way. Okay? He still has to take souls to hell." Crowley said strictly. 

"I understand, my king," I answered sarcastically. 

I believe Bobby said something about hellhounds supposedly collecting souls... Well, the souls of the people who are stupid enough to sell their souls.

"No need to be rude love," Crowley smirked. I'm starting to like this guy. He may be evil and shit, but I don't care. There's just something familiar with him I just can't put my finger on it.

"How come you seem so familiar to me?" I looked at him curiously. 

"Oh, here we go. There's a lot I need to explain to you and it's going to take some time." He huffed. 

"Aaaand we've got plenty of time. So go ahead." I said quickly.

 I'm ready to get some answers. I stood there impatiently, waiting for him to answer.

"Way, way back in time Lucifer made demons he called knights of hell. They were stronger than me, stronger than any demon here. They were born killing machines. Luckily they were all eliminated one after one but not without consequence."

"The last one was whipped off the map recently. Her name was Abbadon. She took me as the prisoner and tried to take over hell but Dean Winchester, a hunter, killed her. He visited Cain..." I interrupted him. 

"Okay, slow down. Cain as in Cain and Abel?" I asked quickly.

"Yes, as in Cain and Abel. The story that is told in the Bible is not the true story. The true story is that Abel believed he was talking to God, but in reality, he was talking to Lucifer. Cain discovered this and begged Lucifer to leave his brother alone. Lucifer agreed to do so on one condition. Cain had to kill Abel, so Abel would be able to enter heaven. He also had to give his soul to Lucifer and live in eternal damnation. Cain killed Abel and became Lucifer's minion." Crowley stopped, giving me a moment to process everything. 

Cain sold his soul to the Devil to save his brother and he is forever be marked as the bad guy... Wow, whoever wrote the Bibel sucks!

"Lucifer gave Cain 'The mark of Lucifer', which is also known as the mark of Cain. The mark gives you the power to kill anything in existence, but it also makes you slowly turn into a demon, aka. The original knight of hell. Cain was given the task to train the knights of hell, which he did. However, Cain turned his back to Lucifer when he got thrown into the cage. Cain killed all the knights of hell but he missed one, Abbadon." 

I can't believe the Bible left all this out. This is so much more interesting.

"We all thought Cain was long gone until Dean Winchester found him and made him give him the mark, so he could kill Abandon himself. Dean ended up killing both Cain and Abbadon, with the help of the mark and the first blade." I interrupted again.

 "Wouldn't that make this Dean guy a demon?" Why did the name Dean Winchester sound so familiar? 

"You're getting ahead of yourself sweetheart. We're getting there." He gave me a small smile but seem annoyed by my interruptions.

"His brother Sam, with the help of an angel named Castiel, is trying to find him and cure him. The mark is taking control of him, making him more and more like a demon. What lies behind that mark is what's scaring both heaven and hell. It's only a myth, but they say a long time ago God and the four first archangels battled a creature called The Darkness and sealed it away with the mark of Cain..." Crowley trailed off. 

"I don't see what this has to do with me," I said confused. 

This is a lot of information to process.

"Let me finish love. I'm getting there, you're so impatient." He huffed and rolled his eyes.

"If Sam Winchester manages to cure his brother of the mark... I'm afraid it will be the end of us all. He even got the help of my mother. That witchy bitch. I can't do anything to stop them since I'm not on their good side right now. At one point I also believe that curing Dean was a good idea, but now that I know what will happen if we do... I need it to stop. Luckily Dean is on our side... for now." Crowley mumbled. 

Okay... interesting but I still don't know what my part in this is...

End chapter 4 p.1

Sorry for not updating in a while. I just needed to find out what I was going to write so hope you like it.

Ps. Most of this is made up. Some of this is of course from supernatural but that's mostly the some of the people and a few pieces here and there. Other than that it's all my imagination.
