Two Worlds Combine

Chapter 8

DEANNA'S POV

I formed some pros and cons about accepting who I really was. Pro: No more trying to kill Samantha. That was a biggie. Con: I won't be me anymore, I'll be someone different. Cain said that if I didn't, it would completely take over. I had no idea how much time I had until it took over again, and for how long. I realized that I had to. Before I changed forever, I wanted to have one hell of a night.

I changed my clothes, considering I was in sweats and a t-shirt. I put on my dark red crop top and my favorite pair of black skinny jeans. I dug through my tiny, but overfilled closet and pulled out my new black combat boots I had picked up a while ago. This was my last night as my true self, and I was damned if I wasn't going out with a bang. I almost never curled my hair, but I thought what the hell. While I was trying not to burn myself, I yelled at Samantha to get ready. 

I had to wait 45 minutes for Sam to hurry her ass up. I'm sure Lady Gaga got ready faster than her. Once she finally surfaced, I was able to get a good look of what she was wearing. Sam was much more Hilary Clinton with her fashion. She had a black and grey plaid shirt on with light faded jeans and combat boots. Honestly, as a big sister, I felt I needed to slut her up a bit. At first Sam objected, but I didn't give her much of a choice. I unbuttoned a few buttons and grabbed a pair of scissors. Few minutes later, she blossomed into the hot chick I new was deep, deep down in there. 

We got in the Impala and drove to the nearest bar. Once we had finally made our way through the crowd, we found some seats at the bar. It was absolutely packed because of the time. When the bartender came over, it was the same guy I had in the other universe. Unfortunately, it was a different Liam so he had no idea who I was. I was intended to change that by the end of the night. "What can I get you ladies?" Liam said as he walked over to us. 

Sam was so distracted by the size of the crowd, she didn't even hear him. "We'll take twenty vodka shots, please." I put on a smile and elbowed her in the gut. He looked at me wide eyed, obviously thinking that it was a lot of drinks just for the two of us. I continued a smile and he finally got started on the drinks.

He walked away and Samantha glared at me with fire in her eyes. "What the hell was that for? That hurt!" I ignored her tone and spoke back with a calm, soothing voice. "We're here to have fun. Stop acting like a child." She rolled her eyes and looked back at the crowd. Damn, she was a real party pooper.

Liam came back with our shots and I got to work. "Liam, right?" I had my best flirty smile on. I downed a shot while keeping my eyes focused on him. "Yeah? How'd you know?" I laughed at the memory and took another shot. "I don't know. Maybe we met in another life."

He looked confused at my answer, but he was also intrigued. Hook, line, and sinker. I thought to myself as I looked into his beautiful blue eyes. "Well, I'm gonna go... somewhere." Way to ruin the moment, Sammi. My sister could sneak behind demons and monsters of any kind without being detected, but she could not be discreet to save her life.

She left me and Liam alone at the bar and took a few shots with her. "Sorry about my sister. She can be a bit... tricky." I smiled while looking at my sister try to maneuver her way through the crowd of drunk, sweaty guys. I laughed and took another shot. "It's fine. So, you know my name... I don't know yours. Seems a bit unfair." He smiled and it lit up the room.

I told him my name and we talked for a good thirty minutes. I had finished my drinks a little bit ago and the rest of the people in the bar were not happy with him. Eventually, he had to pull himself away to actually do his job. I was enjoying a free beer and thinking of the night ahead, when I felt a gust of air beside me.

"How was your time in the alternate universe?" I almost spit out my beer, he scared me so much. How did he pop in anyways? They must've found a way to get their wings back. "God dammit, Cas! Don't do that! How are you even here? You get all your mojo back?" As always, he gave me his apologetic puppy eyes.

"Yes, I had some time to kill while you were away. It was a very long and sacrificial process. We are also close to finding a way to open Heaven's doors again." I made my 'good for you' face and took a sip of my beer. One mistake with Cas was enough for me for a while. "So, what are you doing here?"

His usual scowl intensified. I knew what he was going to say when I saw his face. "I was concerned. I heard what happened with Samantha. Why didn't you call me?" he said while staring at me. I did not feel like having a heart- to-heart with Cas right now. I ignored him for the longest I could, but his puppy dog eyes got the best of me. "Because Cas, whenever you try to help me... you always get screwed... and not in the good way." It took him a few seconds, but he finally got what I was saying. 

"If you want me to leave you alone, I will do what you wish. I must tell you though, my grace is depleating and I do not have much more time." I looked at him and I could feel a tear coming. I pushed it down and took a sip of my beer. Cas could not get involved with this, for his sake. His lowering grace was no match for demon me. "Alright then. Call if you need anything." he said. I could tell he was disappointed, but it had to be done for the time being. I nodded and took the final sip from my beer. 

I felt another gust of wind, and I knew he was gone. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. What did I just do? I thought. Cas was my closest friend... that I occasionally slept with. I didn't want to push him away at the final bell.  I was already regretting it, then Liam came back over. "Where'd the guy go?" I jumped a little at his sudden appearence. I looked around with a clueless look on my face. "What guy?" I said. He cocked his head back in confusion. I was doing that a lot to him. "The guy in the trenchcoat? You were just-" he stopped and looked down at the arm. "What is that?"

I followed his gaze to my right arm. The Mark was growing more and more black every passing second. "Oh you've got to be kidding me!" I yelled. I jumped off the bar stool and ran to the bathroom as fast as my feet could carry me. I slammed the door, locked it, and tore the door handle off. I didn't want to hurt anybody under any circumstances. 

Once again, the pain started and was worse than last time. I walked over to the mirror just in time to see my eyes turn black. Great, here we go again. I thought to myself. I was gasping for air. My lungs felt like I was breathing in fire with every breath. Then, I stopped. My body relaxed itself and it wasn't me anymore.

My body smiled and headed to the door. The bitch side of myself stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the door handle. "Silly, silly Deanna. You've been thinking like a human for too long." My hand comes up just above my waist and the door flies off the hendges. I could hear people screeming. "Now, I think it's time you go night night for a while." No! NO! I couldn't let this happen! I couldn't! Then, all I could see was darkness.
