I could see the red dots all pointed at my forhead. Madness pulsed through my brain. Images of water flashed between my eyes. I could feel my throat closing up. I stared forward at the general.
"I have to say, you look like shit" He chuckled. I smiled, showing my blood stained teeth. "Get her on her knees, we are starting soon" The general waved his hand. They hit my knees with the butt of their gun. They pulled me over to the spot marked with an gun. Deadshot stood next to a large bowl on a pedastal in the center. Mary and Will kneeled on top of their own marked spots. They each jutted out from the bowl in different directions. The general held an ancient knife in his hand. He grabbed a book from his satchel. He flipped it open and flipped through the old pages. It didn't look like normal paper.
"You know, this is made of human skin?" The general chuckled. "The ink is made of blood" He shook his head as he laughed. "People were fucked up" He finally found his page. He began chanting something that sounded like Latin. The marks underneath our legs were glowing red. The lines etched from the mark to the pedestal glowed brighter after each chant. The general swiftly walked over to Will. He grabbed his hair and pulled his head back. Will began to try to struggle away.
"Guards help me with him" He shouted. The guards let go of me and ran to his side. They aren't holding me anymore, I'm free. I jump up and attempt to run. One of my legs couldn't leave the circle. I pulled but it was no use. I grabbed the knife from my pocket and brought it down on my leg. Again. Again. Until only a shred of skin and muscles held my leg to the rest of my body. I tore it off and began crawling with my elbows. Blood trailed behind me, it flowed from my now stump of a leg. I heard a loud shout from behind me. Guards ran to me and picked me up from my arms. My whole body fell limp. Fighting was hard. They tried to throw me back in the circle, but it was no use. I hit the invisible forcefield and fell to the ground.
"We can't get her back in, boss" One guard spoke through his mask.
"God Damn it, it's fine. We can redo hers after we get the brains and the beauty" He waved me off. I laid gasping on the ground. They held Will once again.
"Don't forget about me" Will spoke out. Tears whelmed in his eyes. I began crawling towards the general. He can't kill him. I finally get close. I grab the general by his leg and pulled him downward. A body fell to the ground. I opened my eyes to see Will's lifeless body next to me. Blood flowed from him neck into the stream. It flowed into the pedestal and into the bowl. I screamed loudly. I pulled Will to me and began rubbing his head. His head turned up to me, blood still flowing from his neck. "Get out of here. Start a life you always deserved. Get married. Have kids. Live life, okay?" He began to sob.
"Of course, Will. For you" I smoothed his hair from his face. I kissed his cheek lightly. His eyes rolled back. I hugged his body tightly. The general grabbed Deadshot and plunged his head into the blood in the bowl.
"Drink it!" The general shouted. The general sighed and pointed the gun at me. Deadshot began gulping down the red liqiud. The general pulled his head up. The general grabbed Deadshot by his head. He bit into Deadshot's neck. Blood spewed into every direction. I let out a shrill scream. A guard ran over and bandaged his neck. The general laughed and rubbed the excess blood off his mouth. The general waltzed over to Mary, who began to sob as the general held her hair. Deadshot stared at the general with hatred in his eyes. I stood up angrily on one leg. I lunged forward and tackled the general. We both went flying into the cave wall. I grabbed him and began punching him in the face. The knife went skidding towards Mary. A guard grabbed it and tugged Mary's arm. I stopped punching the General. I looked up at the guard.
"Let the general go, or the girl gets it" The guard said muffled. I looked down at the general, who had a smug look on his face. I didn't move. The guard took off their helmet. Long brown hair stretched to her back. Her face was familiar.
"Athen?" I gasped loudly.
"Let her go" Deadshot said from behind the bowl. He tried to move but was stopped by the invisible forcefield.
"I just wanted a father" Athen said spitefully.
"I'm here now" Deadshot tried to calm her down. She began to sob. I stood up off of the general. I turned around to see the general reaching for a gun. I kicked it away from him. It went skidding next to Deadshot. He picked it up. His hands shaking. He switched his aim between Athen and the general.
"I can never get those years back" Athen sobs slowly began to become confidence. She held the knife up and pressed it to Mary's neck. Mary began to cry. Deadshot pulled the trigger. Athen fell to the ground. A red bullet wound fell between her eyes. Deadshot was emotionless. You could tell that would haunt him forever. The general stared at Deadshot. Deadshot held the gun up and pointed it at the general.
"This is for Veronica, and Perseus and Phoebe" He pulled the trigger. A loud gunshot echoed through the cave, and then a thud. The general flopped down beside me. The red glow faded to black. Deadshot ran to me and gave me a hug. Mary slowly sunk to the ground. I let go of Deadshot and sat down next to Will's body.
5 Years Later
"It'll be fine, honey" Theseus held my hand. I breathed out heavily.
"Sir, we have to do an emergency C-section" The doctor told Theseus.
"No, no" I said wearily. I tried to object, but they wouldn't listen. They gave me some more drugs. I immediately passed out.
*View of Deadshot*
I sat in the hospital room. A doctor came in. His face saddened.
"Good news, you have a healthy baby boy and girl. She gave birth to twins. The bad news, is she didn't make it. I'm so sorry" The doctor frowned. I sat and stared out the window.
"Let me see them" I didn't look at the doctor. I couldn't stop the rain that fell from my eyes.
*15 Years After Annie Died*
"Pandora, Will, get your assess in here" I shouted happily.
"Yes, Dad?" Will and Pandora walked in. Pandora looked a lot like me. Will favored his mother.
"Meet a friend of Mom and I" I smiled and glanced at Mary, who sat on the couch. Since the ritual, we've been aging. Death is real now. Mary has gotten old as well. Lines stretched across our faces.
"They're beautiful, Deadshot" Mary smiled.
"I go by Theseus, now" I smiled.
*25 Years After Annie Died*
"Your mother would be so proud" I hugged Pandora.
"I know she would be Dad" Pandora smiled. I then proceeded to walk her down the aisle. She was more beautiful than I could ever hope for.
*26 Years After Annie Died*
I stared down at the little bundle of life.
"I've named her Annie" Pandora held her baby in her arms. I grabbed her and held her close to me.
"You're going to do great things" I smiled and kissed the baby on the forehead.
*30 Years After Annie Died*
"Dad, I've decided to join the army, like you did" Will stared at me. It was a dangerous life.
"I lost alot of things in the army, Will. I won't lose you too" I frowned.
"You can't stop me from joining, Dad" Will stood up quickly.
"You're stubborn just like you're mom" I chuckled.
*40 Years After Annie Died*
I hear a knock at the door. I hobbled over to the tall black door. I swing it open. Two army men stood in my doorway. They held their hats in their hands. I collapsed to the ground.
*40 Years and 1 Month Later After Annie Died*
I stared in the casket, where my dead son laid. I've lost Will twice now. I was too devastated to cry, or laugh, or speak.
*55 Years Affer Annie Died*
I laid in my death bed. I stared up at the ceiling. Pandora held my hand. She was pretty old herself. Annie, my granddaughter, stood next to her, plus my two other grandchildren. I stared at the ceiling. My vision faded in and out. A bright light appeared in the room. Annie, my wife, walked out wearing a long white dress. I sat up quickly. The room was now empty. It was just a huge white room, with a glowing door. Annie grabbed my hand. I stared at her.
"The first day of my life started when I met you. I was born right there in the middle of the desert. You made me the man I wanted to be, and I can never repay you for that. I love you, Annie Winchester" I held her hands.
"You may kiss the bride" The priest closed his bible. I leaned forward and touched her lips with mine.
"Are you ready?" She asked me. I nodded and then together we walked through the door.The End.
This was one that I am truly sad to see end. This is probably one of my favorite stories I wrote, and I have a connection with all these characters, and I'm sad to see them go. Thank you for reading, it's been great.

ActionI suddenly wake up from the nightmare. I rub the haziness out of my eyes and grab the bottle of whiskey sitting next to my bed. I take a big swig and stand up. My room is dusty and as rundown as you get. It's 1881, I am 16, a drunk and couldn't stay...
