Push Me, I Dare You

"I can't believe you fell for that! You've gone soft, Freyja. I'm almost sad for you," Kali laughed, lounging in a chair just out of my reach. "I hope you know that Gabriel is tearing your mate apart right now."

"No he isn't, Kali. I'd feel it. Gabe isn't anywhere near my mate. But thank you for your concern. In honesty, Gabriel doesn't know where my mate is right now. And I say it like that because I have yet to truly mate with anyone. The last person I attempted it with tragically died. Remember? Gabriel tore him apart in revenge," I snapped, trying to distract her as I powered up my Grace to break out.

The truth was, Gabriel was talking to Sam and Dean while Castiel just watched. His bonded wasn't in danger, but mine quite possibly was.

I don't know where you are, but I think it'd be a good idea to tell you that we're fine. He isn't here to hurt us. He wanted you, but I know you're safe. Cas told me a few days ago that I'd feel it if you weren't.

I decided now was the time to test the bond's limits. I tried to send a message back to him. I'm fine, Sam. Just trapped for a bit. As long as you're okay, I'm going to stay here and get information about what the hell they want from me.

Like I said, I'm fine. Since when can you talk back?

Since always. I just wasn't sure of it until now. Don't worry about me, worry about keeping yourself safe. You and Dean are the important ones right now, not me. Kali can't unmake me. Only God and Gabriel can do that, and they've both proven that they won't. The only danger I'm in is Hell, and neither of them would do that to me intentionally. They're still my family, no matter how crazy they've become.

Alright. Just... promise you'll tell me if you're in danger? I can send Cas and he can help you. But only if I know, you know?

I promise, if you'll promise the same. I'd feel it anyways, but I'd like to hear it from you instead of feel the pull.

I promise. Stay safe, Frey.

I opened my eyes, knowing my Grace was fully charged and ready to attack. Kali didn't seem to realize it; it was clear by her smug expression that she thought Sam was desperately calling me, trying to get me to help him. It was making her happier than it should have to know that she was causing my pain by "harming" a mortal. She wanted badly to break my bond. I wondered if she knew that as soon as Gabriel got what he wanted (which was me for a mate, even after all these years), he'd dispose of her.

"You know that Gabe is just using you to get to me?" I asked, smirking. She scowled.

"No. He wants you, sure. But he knows that he has me, and he's told me many times that I'm much better than you could ever be," she snapped, not meeting my eyes. It hadn't occurred to her. Pity.

"Honey, sister, you know that isn't true. I'm meant to be with him. He's using you to get me to agree to be his again. Like I was for the first decade of my existence. But God gave me a voice, and I sure as hell intend to use it. I'm not some submissive, unfortunately for him. Unlike you, apparently. But hey, there's nothing wrong with it! I guess I gave you the last of my submissive qualities. I just wanted a friend you know. Family that was like me. Someone Castiel couldn't be, even though he tried. And he was willing enough to help me make you. I think he thought you would be his mate. And really, I never intended for you to go to Gabriel in my place, but that worked out in my favor for a few centuries. Then he went and ruined that, and you still stayed with him. I'll never understand you. You know he wants me, but you're still here. Do you love him that much?" I asked.

"I've always loved him! For me, it's only ever been him!" she shrieked, hurting my ears.

"And does he know that?" I asked quietly, knowing the answer.
