Katherine

9.

It had been a week since K arrived in Hell. It was lonely at times, besides the occasional conversation with Crowley when she felt like it, and her loyal hellhound, Slash. He was pitch black and picked her himself, rather then her picking him.
Slash never left K's side. Growling and showing his razor sharp teeth at any demon that dared to get too close to K. He was a great companion, all things considered.
K was getting tired of seeing the same boring, grey walls. She sighed and opened her door. Slash jumped off of K's bed and stood behind her. K started walking down the halls, not knowing exactly where she was going. She stopped in front of a door that had a window on it. She peeked through it and saw separated rooms, kind of like jail cells. She opened the door and went in. She walked through the endless halls looking at each poor soul trapped here for eternity, being tortured to no end. She couldn't help but to feel sorrow for everyone in there. A demon rounded a corner and furrowed his eyebrows at K. K stopped and Slash jumped in front of her, growling at the demon.
"Your not supposed to be here." He told her firmly.
"I'm Crowley's uh queen I guess and he said I can go wherever I want." K snapped back at the demon. The demon look at K, then to the hellhound. "Fine, but it I get into trouble because of you, you're deadmeat." He threatened.
"Oh piss off." K said rolling her eyes. "Come on, Slash, heel." Slash stopped growling at the demon and followed K down the seemingly endless corridors.
K came to a certain cell and stopped in front of it. She didn't know why but she was drawn to it. There was a woman sitting on the edge of a small cot, with her hands on her face. She was leaning into her lap, like she was upset. She had blonde hair that had dried blood in it.
"Hello?" K called. The young woman looked up.
"Who are you? You don't look like a demon." The woman said.
"I'm not. I'm just kind of visiting Hell." K explained without going into much detail.
"Well I wish I could say the same." She scoffed. K felt sorry for the woman.
"What's your name?" K asked.
"Jo. You?" Jo asked back.
"K. What happened to you?" She asked.
"Hellhounds ripped me to shreds. My mom and I sacrificed ourselves to save our friends." Jo told her.
"What were their names?" K asked curiously.
"Sam and Dean."
K was pure shocked. "The Winchesters?" She blurted out.
Jo looked at her suspiciously. She stood up and walked to the bars. "How do you know The Winchesters?" She asked.
"Um I'm kind of a friend. Or was anyway. They probably don't even care that I'm gone." K explained.
"You know them? Well if you're a friend of theirs, then I can guarantee you they're trying their damnedest to bust Hell wide open to find you." She told her.
Slash started growling and K turned to see what had his attention. Crowley stood behind K, looking at Slash. "Oh shut up mutt, I created you and I can destroy you." He spat at him. "Come along, dear. I have something to show you."
K started to follow Crowley but stopped and turned back to Jo.
"I can tell you were a great friend of theirs." She told her.
"You tell those idiots I miss them and they better be nice to you. Especially Dean." She smiled. K nodded before leaving with Crowley.

Crowley led K into his throne room. There was a nice dinner set up, candles on the table, and a rose in K's chair. Crowley pulled out K's chair so she could sit in it. Then he went and sat in his own. K picked up her fork and picked at her food rather than eating it. She hadn't had much of an appetite since being in Hell.
"What's wrong, Katherine?" Crowley asked. "Aren't you happy?"
K put her fork down and sat back in her chair. "Happy? Im in Hell. I can't leave. I don't have anyone to talk to besides you." She rolled her eyes.
Crowley sighed and rubbed his face. "You aren't making this any easier for me."
"Making what easy? I don't want to be here!" K told him.
"Its written in the book of Fate that you are supposed to be my wife!" He shouted. Then it was quiet again.
His wife? She could never love a demon! She wouldn't!
Crowley sipped his ancient whiskey.
"You're not going back to the Winchesters. They will kill you. They'll kill you ask soon as their dumb Angel friend founds out. You're safer here." Crowley stood up and left the room, leaving K to her thoughts. Would they really kill her? And why? Just a few months ago none of this even seemed possible. Heaven. Hell. She thought it was all a fluke. Well now she knows the truth. Why does it have to be her? She just wanted to run. She didn't know exactly where to but she wanted to leave Hell and never come back. She wished all of this wasn't real. But it was. She wouldn't let herself love Crowley.
She stood from the table, going to her room. She was gonna make damn sure that she didn't fall for Crowley, even if that meant staying in her room for the remainder of the month. Stupid contract. She had to admit, she did miss the Winchesters. She missed Sam's warm hugs. She missed Dean's tender kiss. She somewhat wished to be back with them but then again, she didn't. She didn't know why but she was almost afraid to go back. Maybe it was what Crowley had told her about the Winchesters wanting to kill her. Then she thought about Jo. She said that they would be looking for her. But why? She was so conflicted on what to do. She just wanted to scream.  She needed fresh air, a walk, just something else besides Hell. So she went to find Crowley.
She went to the throne room and found him talking to some demons. He finished what he was saying then dismissed them when he saw her. Before he could even speak, K spoke up first.
"I want to go out." She told him.
"No." He replied simply.
"Why not, Crowley? How do you expect me to be your wife if you won't even let me do what I want?" She folders her arms against her. "I just want to go for a walk."
Crowley thought silently for a moment, then sighed. "Fine. Go. But I'll have demons keeping tabs on you. Stay away from the Winchesters, or I'll bring you back here."
"Ok. Thank you." K told him.
K headed back to her room and told Slash to stay there. She went to her wardrobe and changed into casual clothes, letting her hair fall to her back. Crowley came in and put his hands his pockets.
"You're beautiful even in those clothes." He told her. K rolled her eyes.
"Just send me back please."
"As you wish." He said.
