Warping to Destiny - A Supernatural FanFiction

Chapter 42 - That's a Lot To Ask

Katie's POV

This time I thought to set up the computer to record our conversation. I dialed Eric's number at eight on the dot and he picked up on the first ring. "Eric," I said, "Have you thought over what we talked about?"

"One question first," he said. "How do you know about the real Sam and Dean?"

"I can go there," I said. "Through a portal."

"That's impossible!"

"How would I know they were real otherwise?" I asked.

"I know what's going on here," he said. "He's trying to find me, isn't he?" he said, sounding pretty upset.

"Who?"

"Don't play games with me. Tell him you won't find me. I'll find another universe in the millions that exist, and he can start all over again looking for me."

"Eric!" I said, starting to cry. "Oh my god, please don't run away. I don't know who you're talking about. But maybe it's the same person who wants to hurt Sam and Dean. Please, tell me what he wants with them?"

"Are you crying?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Haven't you been listening to me? Look, I happen to be in love with Sam, and my sister is in love with Dean, and we are really, really scared that someone is trying to hurt them, Okay? We don't even go out in that world for fear whoever this is will find them. And they are worried that somehow we will be in danger from it too."

There was a pause. "What?" he said, sounding really puzzled. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"What are YOU talking about?" I asked in return. "Who is after you?"

"Either you're an excellent actress, in which case, I'd like to film you, or you really are genuine."

"I'm not an actress. Not at all," I said. "Look, we both seem to be afraid of something, possibly the same thing. Is there any way you can think of that I might be able to convince you I'm telling you the truth?"

"Tell me how you know what I am?"

"An angel told me."

"Well that's reassuring," he said, sarcastically.

"Oh, right," I said. "You're probably afraid of the angels from wherever you come from huh?" Then a thought occurred to me. "Okay, I'm gonna take a chance here," I said. "The truth is, Cas told us. And Cas said none of the angels in his Heaven, or wherever they are hanging out right now, knows you from Adam. None of them have ever seen you before. So you have to be from some other world. And if we put two and two together, we come up with the belief that you have to be from the same world where someone has plans for Sam and Dean."

I heard him mutter, "What the hell?" softly to himself.

"Are you telling me that angels from Sam and Dean's world have seen me?"

"Yes, I asked Cas to look into you, when Maggie and I figured out that you had to be the connection between the worlds."

"Can you have Cas talk to me?"

"I don't think so. I don't think he can come to my world. The boys can't come through the portal. I doubt he can either. And I know he can't go to other worlds. He told me."

"So who came here and saw me?"

"Archangels, I think. I only know the name of one, the archangel of love. His name is Camael. He was like one of the first angels ever. He didn't know you. And none of his workers did either."
