    Okay there is a wee trigger warning for this chapter kind of in the middle or close to the end. Nothing really graphic just mentions of self-harm. I hope you enjoy the story.
     I have been in this place forever constantly wishing to leave. Everyday I wish that my parents would have wanted me, but I can't change the past. My name is Fiona, I am 15 years old, I have stawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, and very pale skin. I was put up for adoption as a baby and from there I bounced from different foster families always sent back for something I did wrong or because they just didn't want me anymore. To be honest, I have given up all hope of being adopted. Families don't want to have a teenager in their house, they would rather adopt little children or babies. I share a room with my friend Blair, she is a little older than me and has brown hair with blue eyes. We have been friends since the first day we met and if I am ever adopted, which I doubt will ever happen, I would want the family to choose both of us instead of only one.
     "Fiona, a family is coming today looking for someone to adopt, maybe they will choose us." Blair said as soon as she enterd our room. Unlike me she still has hope. I watched as she walked over to me, currently sitting on my bed, watching Supernatural. "We should go see them when they come. You can't just stay up here and watch Supernatural all day everyday." she said. "Actually I can. Blair I love you, you are like a sister to me, but if you take me away from Supernatural I will probably hurt you." I said laughing as I finished the last part. "Okay sit up here." she paused for a moment before continuing," Why do you like Supernatural anyway?". I looked her in the eyes thinking about how to put my feelings about the show into words. "This show gives me something to believe in. Even though most or all of the things in this show are made up, there is some truth to it. They don't describe the everyday world as perfect or say that good is good no matter what or evil is always evil. It's hard to explain." I said trying to explain my emotions. "Move over, I would like to watch at least one episode with you. Can you explain what is going on so I at least have an idea of whats happening?" Blair asked as I happily moved over for her. "Well this is an episode in season 13. Various and Sundry Villians, one of my favorite episodes. All you need to know it a redheaded witch was killed by Lucifer and her son is the king of Hell and he killed himself for the winchesters, they are brothers, the tall one is Sam and the shorter one is Dean. This episode has no corralation to the rest of the season.". Rowena is my absolute favorite character, she is amazing. I would sell my sole to be able to meet Ruth Connell, the actress that plays Rowena. "Wait is this the witch you won't shut up about? Rowena I think you said her name was.". I am very surprised she remembered that, normally Blair doesn't remember anything I tell her. "Aye, that would be the one.". For the next hour the two of us sat there watching Supernatural, of course I was fangirling everytime the gorgeous redhead spoke. "Fiona, can we please go see the family, I really want to go." Blair said pleading with me. "I can't you can though. I'm sorry but I don't want to get my hopes up just to get crushed again." I explained as she gave me a look of disappointment. When she left the room I turned on another episode of Supernatural. As the episode is half through I hear a knockon the door. It's probably just Blair or someone telling me that dinner is ready, I think to myself. "The door's unlocked, come in." I say loud enough so whoever it is can hear me. I can hear someone walking closer to me but I do not remove my eyes from the television, Rowena is speaking and that is more important than whoever just walked in. Rowena had just closed the gate in front of Sam's face after undoing the attack dog spell. "I'm sure you had every intention of holding up your end of the deal, but why take chances." the person who had just walked in said completing the dialougue, her voice and accent mathing that of Rowena. "No this can't be possible." I shouted as I turned around. Blair had told me that she went to meet a family looking for a child to adopt, I never would have expected it to be Ruth Connell. I started to cry, my idol is standing right in front of me looking for a child. "Come here wee lass. It's okay." she said as she held me in a tight embrace. I started to calm down and she released the embrace she held me in. "I take it you are a fan?" Ruth said to me. "Aye, that would be correct. Rowena is the best character on Supernatural by far." I said with a smile forming on my face. I heard someone else enter my room so I turned around and saw Blair. "She is the one who told me to come up here." the redhead said as she pointed to my best friend. " After we watched that episode, I went downstairs to see who was going to adopt. I saw her looking at the little ones before walking over to me. She looked oddly familiar and when she asked me what my name was I remembered why she looked familiar. I had just seen her on the television. I know you don't normally want to see the families but I just knew you would want to see her." Blair explained to me as my heart melted. "Thank you so much." I said to her looking at Ruth again and smiling. "Anything for you Fiona." she said as she walked over to us and sat next to me on the bed. "Fiona? That's my mum's name.". This was something I learned a while ago, but I didn't want to seem like a stalker so I just smiled and nodded, unsure of what else to do. "So you have seen all of the little ones, have you made a decision?" I asked, curious as to which of the little children she would be choosing as her own. "I have, and I am really excited to bring her home." Ruth said with a smile on her face. "Did you choose Mckenna, Claire, Seraphina, or Grace?". I assumed it would be one of those four because they are the youngest and most well behaved children here. "Actually I didn't choose any of them.". Now I was confused. People are always looking to adopt one of them. "Who is it?". I figured I probably know the child she has chosen. " You are the child. I knew it from the moment I walked in here.". Did she just say she chose me? Am I starting to hallucinate? This can't be happening. I looked over to Blair. She had an expression of nothing but joy.I knew she was sad though, we had always wanted to get adopted together. " Blair and I have been friends for a very long time. We are basically sisters, I would love nothing more than for you to adopt me. We come in a package though, if you adopt me, you have to adopt her as well.". Nothing could separate us, even though I probably just ruined my chances of being adopted by my idol, something that will never happen again, I would do the same thing over and over again because I refuse to leave without her by my side. "I see." Ruth started to say " That was actually my plan darlin'. Originally I came here looking for one child to take home but I have instead found two lovely young ladies.". My face lit up with joy as I looked at my best friend. "Does that mean that we will be sisters for real now? Like have the same last name?" I said getting very excited. "Yes, that is exactly what is going to happen unless you wish to keep your last names.". She is such a nice lady. I had to walk over to Ruth. Of course by that I mean I ran over to her and gave her a hug. This is a dream come true. " When will we leave this place?" I had to ask. My stuff was all over this room because I had never expected to leave. "Well if ye both want to we can leave whenever ye are all packed up. I will go do the paper work while you two get busy." she said as she left the room.
     "Blair, Oh my Chuck, I never in a million years would have thought that Ruth Connell would be choosing us as her children. This is the best day ever." I said to my best friend and soon to be sister as I packed up my suitcase. Even though my stuff was all spread out, I barely had anything to pack. I have my comforter, my chargers, computor, toiletries, pillows, clothes, and last but not least my picture of Rowena. " I can't believe we are going to be sisters. Even though not by blood but we will have the same last name. One thing Fiona. I have noticed that you wear nothing but long sleeves. It has been going on for about two months now and it is summer. Please tell me what I am thinking is wrong.". This took me by surprise. No one had noticed, no one even cared. Now how could I lie to my best friend but at the same time how could I tell her the truth? I couldn't keep it from her. I grabbed my sleeve and slowly pulled it up, revealing all of the violent red marks covering my arm. Some are new while others are old. "Fiona, why didn't you talk to me? I am always here for you." she said very concerned about me. "You are always hopeful and cheerful for the future.Always filled with optimism. I didn't want to drag you down with me. I was forced to face the reality of not being wanted as I bounced between foster families.". A tear slid down my face as I pulledmy sleeve back down.
     After several minutes of talking and packing we were finished. All of our bags were full and ready to be taken away. I sat on my bare bed waiting for Ruth to come back and get us. As I sat there I thought about Blair noticing. If she was able to notice then others would as well. Ruth would find out my flaw. Maybe she wouldn't want my if she knew. "Okay girls, I just finished filling out the paperwork. Are you ready to go?" she said as she walked into our room. "Aye, our things are packed and ready to go." I responded. I refuse to let her know the truth. It's better for everyone if it's kept a secret. We took our things down the steps and followed Ruth out to her car. "Give me your things so I can put them in the trunk." she said as we gave her our bags. Then we both got in the back seat and stayed silent most of the car ride to her house. "You gals are very quiet. What's on your mind? Ask me anythin'" she said trying to start conversation. "Will we go with you on set or stay in a hotel room when you have to work? And what will happen with the Supernatural conventions?" I asked. She did say to ask her anything, I think this is included. "Well actually I will be able to answer those particular questions as soon as we get to our house. Anything else though?". I had several questions. "Okay well will we ever visit Scotland? and if you could only save one character who would it be?" very unrelated questions but still ones I wished to have answers to. "Well we will visit Scotland and one person, well Rowena for one but other than her I think I would have to go with Fergus. He is her son after all.". Her answers were very pradictable but I still love the way she says Fergus. "Fer..who now" Blair said obviously confused. "Crowley. The King of Hell. When he was alive his name was Fergus Macleod, son of Rowena Macleod but he changed his name and Rowena still calls him Fergus partially to annoy him because it's funny when he is annoyed and also because he will always be her son even though he tried to cut off all connections with his mother." I explained. I know a lot about the show. "I couldn't have said it better myself." Ruth agreed. Blair nodded her head saying that she understood but I still think she is a wee bit confused because she doesn't watch the show. "Another question, which woman on the show would you ship Rowena with?" I still had to ask that question. "Well Charlie, mainly because of that scene where we were decoding the book of the damned where Rowena pointed out all of the similarities between them.". I totally agree with that answer. I ship them as well. " Who do you ship with Rowena?" Ruth asked me. " I actually like Sam and Rowena, Charlie and Rowena, and maybe Amara with Rowena. I mean I can kind of see it. Those are my top ships though." I said very confidently. "What about Lucifer and Rowena?" she asked. "Hell no. He killed her. I might have forgiven him if it was only once because it's Lucifer, he is an angel so therefore he is just a dick with wings but no he killed her twice. The second death wasn't even an on screen death. All they did was show the body and a peice of her hair in his hand. Nope he ruined all chances he had with her. I am never going to forgive him." I ranted. I can't stand the sight of him at all. " At least she came back. And at least he is dead now." Blair added. "I agree. I probably would have cried if she didn't and might have stopped watching the show.". "Fiona, You did cry. You actually cried for about five hours and three something across the room when they killed her the first time. Then you looked to see if she came back and jumped to the episode she returned in. The second time you cried for about three days. Of course you also ranted and cried some more. After that you did more research to see if she was going to be brought back and you then continued to watch the show.". Did Blair really have to bring that up? "Oh and whenever you rewatch the episodes with her in them, you either skip the death scene or skip the episode entirely.". "What it makes me cry everytime I see her neck being snapped. And I also cried when she killed Oscar.That was a very sad scene.". Ruth heard the conversation and started laughing. "You seem like a very dedicated Rowena fan." she told me. "Well what can I say, I kind of am.". "Okay then answer these questions, what was the first episode Rowena appeared in, what are her nicknames, what organization does she try to create, what type of witch is she, and whom does she torture from the grand coven and what is her status?". Ruth asked testing my knowledge. " She first appeared in season 10 episode 3 soul survivor at the end reading a book. A drop of blood fell of her and she wiped it off then the bodies on the celling were shown. Her nicknames are Red, by Lucifer, Queen Mother, by the demons, Raggedy Ann, by Catriona Loughlin, Auntie Rowena, by oskar whom she had to kill in season 10 episode 23 brothers keeper and kind of but not really another nickname is Ginger Whore by Crowley in his voicemail when it says for demon deals press one, for sightings of that Ginger Whore Rowena press two. She tries to create the Mega Coven and tries to recrute people for it but she either kills them for laughing at her or a demon does because they are looking for her. She is a natural witch and she was thrown out of the grand coven because her magic was considered to extreme while the coven also placed a binding spell on some of her magic. She tortured the former leader of the grand coven Ollivette but wanted her spot back into the coven." I said. I know just about everything when it comes to Rowena. "I must admit I am kind of impressed. Half of those things even I can't remember." Ruth said as she pulled into the driveway of our new home. My mouth flew open.It is gorgeous."Your house looks amazing." Blair said her face reflecting the samelook as mine."It is ours. Not just mine anymore.". I still can't believe this is happening. We got out of the car and got our bags before heading inside the house. The inside was just as glamorous as the outside was. Ever since I saw Rowena on Supernatural, I fell in love with her character and wished everyday for a chance to meet Ruth, when time moved forward I began to loose hope in everything, even myself. Now I am the adopted child of Ruth Connell and my best friend is now my sister. "Your bedroom is upstairs but I didn't prepare it yet. I was going to let you decorate it however you want. If you want to go shopping now then we can go to the shop. I mean just tell me what you want to do." Ruth said to us. Blair and I looked at each other and smiled. "Can we see what it looks like to we can get an idea in our head?" I asked. "Of course go on.". Blair and I ran up the stairs to see our new room. "Oh my god. It is way bigger than our other one. Maybe we could do like a red, black, and purple theme or we could do a green and black theme." Blair told megetting really excited. "I think we could do the red purple and black. I could have the red and you could have the purple and then our decorations could tie it all together. Do you know what I mean?" I asked getting a vision for the room. "Yes, you mean like twins. How sometimes one will be assigned one color and all of their things will be of that color and the other will get a different color? That sounds awesome. Should we have our own beds or bunk beds?" Blair asked me. I took a good look around the room before answering. "Well I think maybe two beds one over there and the other on the other side. Then we can each have our own shelf by our bed. They could be black with the ribbon stuff coming off of it and fairy lights. The window seat can have a black over all cushion but the pillows could be our colors. Maybe we could get things to decorate our walls.". I had the perfect vision of what our room should look like and by the reaction Blair gave me, she had the same one. We ran down the stairs just as quickly as we came up. "We have the perfect idea. Could we get some shelves and things like that and books. We don't really have much to read because it was all from the library." Blair asked unsure. "That sounds like a great idea. After going to the mall we can go to the bookstore." she said to us.
      The next three hours were spent getting all of the supplies for our room. We ended up getting two black shelves, a bunch of fairy lights for our respective colors, we got comforters and black bedskirts, a bunch of pillows and pillow cases that seemed to match the theme of the room without looking to girly, we each got get books, Blair found pictures for the walls that look pintresty. We went into my favorite store, Hottopic, and got a little bit more clothes. I ended up getting five supernatural shirts and a few chokers, Blair got a bunch of band shirts and chokers. We both love chokers. When we went to start getting everything out of the car Ruth told us "I hope you don't mind but I asked a few friends to come over and help set up the room.". I turned around to see four men get out of a car. "Why would we mind?" Blair said not noticing the men walking towards us. "Jared, Jensen, Misha, Mark, I would like you to meet Fiona and Blair.". This could not be happening. "Nice to meet you, I'm.." Jensen started to say. "Jensen. I know. Your Jared, Misha, and Mark. Kind of a big fan." I said with the biggest smile on my face. "She is definitly a big fan. Mainly of Ruth." Blair said. She seemed to be totally calm while I was freaking out. "Wait, your the actor that plays Fergus right?" Blair asked Mark who was standing behind Jared and Jensen. "It's Crowley." Mark responded which made me laugh. "Yes Blair, it is Fergus. That one is Dean and the freakishly tall one is Sam while the one back there is feathers, I mean Castiel.". I had gotten into a bad habbit of calling him that since Rowena said it on the show. The four guys helped bring everything into the house and carried it into our room.
     "Are you girls excited?" Ruth asked us as we all sat on the couch. "Yes. This is a dream come true. Oh I have a few more questions. What should we call you, what rules are there, and why is Jared so bloody tall." I asked as I put my hands in my lap. "You girls can call me anything. Ruth is fine, Ruthie, I mean if you wanted to call me mom you could but it is completely up to you. As far as rules go, I ask that you not keep any secrets from me and if you need to talk please do. You girls can tell me anything I won't judge. If you make a mess clean it up but if you need help ask me. No drinking but a wee bit of wine never hurt anyone just not enough to impare you. Last but not least if it is something so stupid that even the winchesters wouldn't do it then please do not do it. And for Jared's height, I don't know it must be some sort of freakish mutation mabe a side affect of it is the really long hair." She said with a chuckle. "I heard that." He shouted from out room. The three of us broke out into laughter. "Let's get to know each other a little better. Tell me something about yourselves." she asked. "Okay well I am fifteen, I have been in the system since I was a baby. Growing up I was sent to many different foster homes. If they had any other children then they would make fun of me for my super pale skin and at that time, my ginger hair. When I was old enough I dyed it because I was tired of being called names. One of my foster parents got me into the show actually. I was about twelve at the time. Other than that there is nothing else about me that is interesting."."Okay my story is not far too different from hers but I was put in the system at the age of three. My father was sentanced to fifteen years in prison after commiting some sort of crime. I was to young to remember. My mother died of a drug overdose shortly after. I was in three foster homes. They had children of their own and sent me back. Then last year I was sent to the place you were just at. I only heard of the show because of Fiona but I never watched a full episode." Blair said. "Okay well I guess you know a lot about me but I am guessing Blair you don't. I am an only child, I was in dance until I was 24. Born and raised in Falkirk Scotland. My mother is a school teacherand my father is a coach. And the most obvious thing I am an actress.". "Thank you for adopting us. You told us no secrets and that you won't judge so I need to tell you something.". I said. I have to tell her. I have to take my chances. "What is it Fiona, is everything alright darlin'." she asked very concerned. A tear started to fall down my cheek as I lifted up my sleeve. When I saw all of the marks on my arm even more tears started to fall. "Oh Fiona." Ruth gaspedas she came over to me. Within a span of two seconds her arms were around me holding me in a tight embrace. "I am so sorry. Would you like to tell me about it?" she said. I pulled my sleeve back down and nodded my head. "Everytime a foster family gave me away I felt my chances of being adopted growing slimmer and slimmer. Before they would take me back they would tell me how worthless I was and how I am soulless. I lost hope in being adopted and in myself. Maybe I am worthless.". Maybe everything they told me was true. I had gone threw more foster families than I can count. "You are anything but worthless. I don't want to hear you say that about yourself anymore. And they call me soulless as well. Maybe it's because I am the mother of the King of Hell but it is more than likely because I am a ginger." she told me. I let out a small laugh. "Maybe it is a wee bit of both.". She let me out of the embrace and went back to her seat. " If you ever need to talk I am here. We are all here for you, even the freakishly tall moose upstairs.". Maybe I am not worthless at all.
      The three of us talked for about another hour before the boys came down from the room. "We have finished setting up your bedroom. Would you like to see it?" Jared said to Blair and me. "Of course we do." Blair said excidedly as she jumped to her feet. I followed her motion and stood up as well. We ran up to our room and gasped at what we saw. "This is amazing. Thank You." I said as I walked around. It was exactly how I imagined it would look. The beds had the covers we chose, the bookshelves were beside them and our books had even been put on the shelf. The pictures had been carefully hung on the walls and the fairy lights were in position. "We are very glad you like it." Jensen said. As I was strolling I noticed something on our beds. It looked like a piece of paper. "Hey Blair, there is something on our beds." I said as I got closer. "Remember how I said I had a surprise for you? Well this is your surprise." Ruth said. This wasn't just a stack of papers, it was a script that said Supernatural on the front of it. "Is this the script for an upcoming episode?" I asked as I picked up the papers. "Not just any script, look through it." Misha said holding back a huge smile. His normal voice was still surprising to me. I did as I was told and flipped through it. On the pages were the names of the cast members but two stood out. Fiona and Blair Connell. "Do you mean we are going to be in one of the episodes?". Blair was just as excited as I was. "Aye, would you like to know your parts?" she asked as if it were a serious question. "I would love to." I said as I felt my cheeks turning red. "Ye will both be witches that Rowena has recruted. You are very young witches though so you will only be in the episodes that I am in for about a season then I think you will go do your own thing in the show.". This was amazing. I will be acting with my favorite person who is now my mother. Today marked the start of a brand new life. One with my pain turned into joy, a life where I now have a mother who will not leave me, a mother that loves me because she chose to not because she gave birth to me. I am surrounded by people who accept me, and I am free to be myself with my best friend, or shall I say my sister, by my side through it all.
     Okay so I think that I might make a story from this because I had so much fun writting it and there are so many things I can do with this. Please let me know if you agree. I would love feedback.
