Tainted Wings (Forever Book 2)

Chapter 1

ALEX WINCHESTER

It had been a full three years since Scar went missing. I had lost hope, my first daughter was gone, I was legless, and Dean was still out searching. Castiel went to heaven for a little to see if she had died and came back to report that she was still alive.

Sam never gave up hope. Claimed he knew she was out there somewhere. Just where was the question. I rubbed the area where my leg used to be aching for it to grow back. Cas wouldn't heal it until he found Scar. He was broken up about it. Started wearing whatever he could find when he went out looking for her.

I knew she wasn't coming back. I knew the power of demons. My hand runs over the scar where a bullet lodged itself into my leg. I look over at my prosthesis and remember the vision. I roll myself over to her room. Boxes sat in a corner next to a mattress. I remembered Sam yelling at us when we wanted to set up the bed frame so Cas could sleep. Something he's been doing since she went missing and he spent endless hours looking for her.

I sighed and rolled inside. The smell of her overtook my senses. I unclasped the amulet around my neck and held it in my hands. I squeezed it and leaned over stifling sobs that racked my entire body down to my toes. I loved her, I truly loved her. I heard a flap of wings and Cas was standing before me. Tears in my eyes blurred my vision but his freshly cut hair and slight stubble were unmistakable. "Cas?" I asked confused as to why he was here and not out there like he usually was.

"Alex. I think I found her. But she's unreachable." He said his rugged voice calling out.

"Where is she?" I asked anxious to get her back.

"There's this cage.... in hell. Crowley pushed her inside. With Lilith and Lucifer."

"Lilith?" I ask confused.

"Lilith is one of the seals to break Lucifer free. It's a smart decision honestly. But Scar's in there with them meaning she's the entertainment or not."

"Get her out Cas," I growl.

"Alex. Its not going to be easy. I'll need something of power to help me to pull her out..." I take off my necklace and place it into his palm. "Alex I-"

"Cas...." I beg him. He nods and walks over putting a hand on my shoulder before disappearing. I didn't know how long he was going to be gone.

Sam walked in the door then, ready to tell me he had nothing to report. "Alex I-.."

"Cas may have found her." I interjected. "She's coming home."

SAM WINCHESTER

"What?" I asked stunned. "Scar's still alive and out there?"

"Yes. Cas is going to try to get her out. But I don't know how long it will take him to pull her out of that cage." 

"Whoa Whoa whoa... cage?" I ask dreams flashing before me. Images of hell fire and black iron and two people. Both not happy, both bored. "I dreamed of that place. once before... It's in hell ain't it?" Alex slowly nods from her wheelchair and I sigh leaning against the door. "Fuck...."
