Nine Lives

Life Six: Part Ten

It has been months since Crowley had kidnapped Charlie. She only knew the rough time line as Crowley kept torturing her to figure out the last trial. Luckily for her, the other souls in her body made it impossible for a demon to possess her which meant as long as she didn't talk that Crowley wouldn't learn anything. Castiel and Gabriel came to her during her dreams to let her know that she would be alright. Crowley had her somewhere with heavy angel warding which made it impossible for the two angels to find her and because she didn't know where she was either, she couldn't help them. Castiel told her that the brothers were trying to do the trials while looking for her and Gabriel would heal her mind every night to help her last through the torture.

Charlie was terrified she was going to die. Sure during her last life she was also scared about dying and leaving Jefferson but this is the longest she had spent in a world besides her own. She had time to get close to people, feel like she had a real family, to feel wanted. Charlie also felt like a failure. She wanted to sacrifice herself to win the war for Sam and Dean, to slam the gates of hell forever. But instead she seemed to be the torture toy of the king of hell.

The sound of the door opening and closing made Charlie look up through her dirty ginger hair. She was now chained to the wall like she had been for almost the whole time she has been there. The only time she was let down was to eat something.

"Morning love" Crowley's sickening British accent made Charlie drop her head. Of course he would be the one who came into her cell. Crowley was almost always present when she was getting tortured. He would ask the questions while another demon got their hands dirty. "How are you feeling?"

"Eat me" Charlie snapped at him. She looked up just in time to get slapped across the face. She took a deep breath as she calmed down before looking up to see it was just Crowley standing inside of her cell. Her brows went together as she was confused at why he was alone. However she shook it off and glared at him. "You are wasting your time Crowley! I am never going to tell you anything."

"I've come to realize that" Crowley said slowly pulling out an angel blade from his coat. Charlie's eyes widened slightly as she pushed herself as far into the wall as she could. "But if that's true you are useless to me. So why am I keeping you alive?" Crowley smirked.

"You are going to kill me.." Charlie's shoulders drop and her voice cracked. She may be brave but dying and not being able to see anyone else from this world again hurt her. She also didn't want to imagine what the brothers reaction would be.

"Unless you want to tell me everything you know?" Crowley offered up the deal that he had been giving her from the beginning. If she would tell him what he wanted to know then he would let her go. But Charlie knew that the information was way to dangerous in Crowley's hands. Her life wasn't worth sharing that information.

"I repeat my previous statement." Charlie leaned forward and glared at him. "Eat. Me."

"Hm" Crowley hummed before stabbing Charlie in the stomach with the angel blade. Charlie gasped for air as the pain took over.

"I'm sorry Gabriel.." Charlie prayed to him knowing she would miss him the most as she had started to fall for the archangel.

"This isn't over sugar" Charlie let out a laugh as she heard Gabriel's voice. He promised her that he would find a way to bring her back. Charlie closed her eyes and her body fell limp in Crowley's arms.
