Alice

My head was pounding. It was as if a small hammer was drumming away from inside my skull. I cracked my eyes open and cringed at the bright white of my surroundings. For a brief moment, I irrationally feared I was in the white room and Greyson was truly going to kill me. But once I sat up and took in my surroundings I realised that I was in an unfamiliar place.

I stood up and immediately regretted it. I clutched at a nearby steel desk for balance and soon it was the only thing supporting me. I realised that there was an intense buzzing in my ears and when I touched my finger to one of them, dried flakes of blood dusted it. I inspected myself and came to the conclusion that I had been burned in several places, I had two long gashes up my left leg, my ears had been bleeding, three inches of my hair had been scorched off and my clothes were in tatters.

Suddenly, my memory hit me like a ton of bricks and worriedly I cried out Alex's name. My eyes welled with tears. Castiel had betrayed us and Alex was most likely dead. I sniffled and realised I couldn't hear anything, apart from the buzzing.

I decided that I had to get out off wherever I was and grabbed the first thing that came to my hand, which happened to be a lamp. Armed with my lamp, I slowly but steadily limped out of the room - which appeared to be an office - and into a white corridor with no decorations.

Dragging my left leg a little, I let my eyes dart rapidly over my surroundings. Somebody could walk up behind me and ambush me and I wouldn't hear them coming. I felt defenceless without my hearing and I only had my sharp eyesight to compensate.

I saw the attacker out of the corner of my eye and didn't hesitate to bring my weapon round and smash it over their head. They didn't flinch. Slowly, I began backing away and slammed straight into somebody. They restrained my hands and I suddenly felt weary and had no energy to resist.

I collapsed and blacked out before my head hit the ground.

***

I felt no pain. When I came to this was my first thought process. I opened my eyes, ready for the harshness of the light this time but still blinked a couple of times to get my eyes to adjust.

I was strapped to a reclining white leather chair - similar to one you may find at a dentists - and I wriggled to get free but to no avail. "Alice, Alice." A woman in a gray suit shook her head in a disapproving manner at me. She had brown hair in a tight bun and stood behind a desk, similar to the one I had used to support me earlier. Beside her stood my newest enemy, Castiel. He looked innocent enough in his suit and tan trench coat but looks can be deceiving.

I glared coldly at him and when he met my daggers his face contorted into a confused and hurt expression. "Don't blame Castiel, Alice. He was only following his orders," she said coolly. "I'm Naomi, Castiel's superior."

I tilted my head. "Pleasure."

Naomi smiled thinly. "Indeed. Now Castiel tells me that you refused to do your duty. You refused to kill the Winchesters."

"Now why would I do that?"

"Because this cause is worth dying for, your mother did. God gave us this mission and I will not let it be ruined by a pathetic human girl who couldn't do the simplest of jobs!" Naomi's smile dropped and she suddenly turned vicious.

"And what is this oh-so-important mission? What did my mother die for?" I demanded, ignoring the leather straps digging into my skin.

"To wipe out humanity, demons and every other monster ever created. Your mother played a vital part in this; she was our sacrifice that started the Symbol of Reckoning. All we need now is to wait for the first day of winter and the ritual is complete. The Symbol of Reckoning will be activated and all of God's mistakes will be wiped off the face of the earth. Literally," Naomi smiled pleasantly as if she were discussing the weather.

"Why now?"

"God realised that his creations were beyond redemption. We must now re-programme you, Alice. We will remove your memories of this meeting and programme you to kill the Winchesters and everyone else who gets in our way." On saying this, Naomi picked up a drill which whirred threateningly. I began to thrash around in the leather chair, trying to loosen the straps in some way.

I thought all hope was lost when a voice said, "Stop right there, love." The voice was vaguely familiar but I couldn't quite place it. Then the man came into view. Crowley. "I have some business with this little lady."

He placed a hand on my shoulder and we were immediately transported to a grubby warehouse, decked out as an operating theatre. I recognised Angel warding on the windows and doors. He grinned at me. "We have some business to discuss."

Alex

I was trapped behind a glass screen watching but unable to intervene. I could see the picture very clearly but the glass wall was soundproof as I could hear nothing.

Alice was in a white leather chair, talking to a woman unknown to me. Castiel was also there, the traitorous bastard. They conversed silently for a few moments, their lips moving animatedly. The woman picked up a silver utensil with a moving point at the end and I pounded relentlessly at the invisible wall, trying to break through.

Suddenly, the demon Crowley appeared behind the chair. He said something inaudible to me and abruptly he disappeared, taking Alice with him. I saw a look of fury come over the woman's face and then I fell into darkness.

When I resurfaced from the empty space, Alice was with Crowley in a filthy warehouse. He grinned at her and I knew she was in deep trouble but stuck here there was nothing I could do to help her. I struggled to break away from Alice, to snap back to reality and soon I was back in darkness.

I gasped as I awoke, ignoring the pain I felt all over my body. I was in a hospital bed and the heart monitors and other machines were beeping continually. Dean was sitting by the bed and before he could say anything I blurted, "Alice is in trouble. We have to find her."
