"You really expect me to drink this?" Sam says as he looks down at the concoction that I had created to help ease the stress and pain of the trials. I roll my eyes as I say, "Yes, I do. Now drink," He looks down at it and says, "I think I'll just stick it out." I roll my eyes as I walk over and picking the glass up take a sip of it and then look at him. I taste the overpowering cinnamon and smirk. "See?" I smile as I hand him the glass, "Do you like Cinnamon?" He raises an eyebrow as he says, "I guess, why?" 

"Then you're gonna love this." His eyes widen as he lifts the glass up to his lips and slowly takes a sip.

I wait patiently for him to say something and then let out a sigh as he says, "This is actually pretty good." I smile as I say, "See told ya so, now when you start to get hungry I made you some homemade Chicken and Dumplings to help boost your immune system." I turn to walk away and he grabs my arm, "Thank you," I feel myself blush and clearing my throat say, "Your welcome." I walk back to the kitchen to see Dean drinking the soup straight out of the pot.


"What are you doing?" I say and he immediately puts the lid back on the pot and says, "Nothing," I smile and say, "If you want some go right ahead, I was just about to make Kevin and Sam a bowl." He smiles as he walks over and pulls out some bowls. As he hands them to me he says, "So how'd you learn to make all this?" I smile as I slowly start to pour the soup into the bowls, "When you're as old as I am you learn a thing or two about the necessities, and I just happen to like cooking." I feel Deans eyes stare at me as he says, "I know men aren't supposed to ask how old a girl is but," I turn toward him and smile, "You wanna know how old I am?" 

"I'm a little curious yeah," I smile and grabbing two of the bowls say, "Guess you'll never know."

I quickly walk out of the kitchen and up the stairs to where Sam was sitting. "Here, I figured you'd have gained an appetite by now?" He smiles as he says, "You were right. I don't know what you put in this but I feel great!" I smile as I set the bowl down in front of him. "Now you don't have to eat it all, just eat till you're full." He smiles up at me the life coming back to his eyes, "Thank you." 

"You're welcome Sam." I walk over to the other end of the table and hand Kevin his bowl.

"I'm not hungry," I sense the sadness in his voice and say, "Kevin you need to eat." 

"How can I eat? I ruined your life." I let out a sigh and sit down beside him. 

"Look Kevin, you didn't ruin my life; if anything you helped me." He looks up at me with tears in his eyes, "Really?" I smile as I wipe his tears away, "Kevin if it hadn't been for you I would have never seen Dean again. I probably would've rallied behind my father and became the demon he wanted me to be." He nods and I smile, "Kevin, I owe you more than you know; so cheer up." He smiles and standing up I motion to his soup, "Eat, you'll feel better." He nods and then starts eating. I smile as I walk past them and Dean into the kitchen.

I walk over to the stove and right as I am about to reach up to cover to soup I fall to the floor grasping my sides. I cry out as the pain starts to get more intense. The pain moves from my stomach to my back and bladder. "You want to be normal, fine enjoy it while it lasts!" I hear a familiar voice yell out in my head. After a few moments I realize it was my fathers. "Cass!" I manage to say as tears start to fill my eyes. Seconds later he is by my side, "Are you alright?" I grit my teeth as I say, "It hurts so much!" He reaches up and touches my forehead but then looks at me confused. "I don't understand." I grit my teeth as the pain becomes even more unbearable.


Before I can say anything else Cass lifts me into his arms and carries me out of the kitchen and up to the bedrooms. As we pass Dean he jumps up and heads over to us, "What's wrong?" I cling to Cass and try not to cry. "I'm afraid I cannot help her." Cass says as he continues carrying me over to the bedrooms. "What do you mean you can't help her?" Dean says and I sense the anger and worry in his voice. 

"Dean, calm down I'll be fine." I say as Cass stops. "Where can I set her?" Dean motions to a bedroom and as Cass lays me down on the bed I look over to see a picture of a woman and a young boy. Before I can ask about it a sharp pain pierces my body.

"Dammit Cass do something!" 

"I can't!" Cass says obviously becoming angry with Dean. I reach up and grab Dean's hand, "I need a girl." He looks down at me confused then rolls his eyes as he leaves the room. "Cass I need you to do me a favor." He looks at me his eyes narrowed in worry. "I need you to go to the store and pick me up some Midol and a box of pads." Cass tilts his head in confusion then says, "What is this Midol and what are pads?" I smile as let out a silent laugh. Before I can reply Dean walks back into the room, "Cass can you pick up Charlie?" Cass turns from me to Dean and nods. I watch as Cass disappears leaving Dean and I alone for the moment.

I look up into his green eyes as he looks down at me with worry in his eyes. "I'm fine Dean, don't worry." I say as I try to get comfortable. "Here," he says as he walks over and pulls the covers down so I can get inside them. As I move my back tightens sending a spasm through my body. I reach around to hold my back and then he says, "Here roll over." I look up at him and raise an eyebrow. "I'm just going to rub your back." I smirk as I roll over onto my stomach. "Where does it hurt exactly?" I let out a chuckle as I say, "The lower part." As he lifts up my shirt I feel Goosebumps cover my body.


I feel my body tense as is rough hands gently start to rub my sore back. "Here?" he says as he pushes down on the throbbing part of my back. "Yes," I say as I dig my hands into the bed to keep from screaming out in pain. After a few minutes of Dean's gentle massage I hear a girl walk into the room. "What have you guys done this time?" Dean quickly jumps up causing the bed to move and my back to start throbbing again. With help from Cass I sit up and introduce myself to the fellow red headed girl.


"Hi, I'm Sorcha." I say as I hold out my hand to her. "You mean like Sorcha, from 'Willow'?" I smile as I say, "Yeah, some would even say that she was named after me." 

"Awesome," She says as she smiles. "Oh sorry, my names Charlie." 

"Hi Charlie," I say as I laugh at her short attention span. 

"Oh you needed my help, what can I do for you?" I smile as I look at Cass and Dean standing a few feet away from us. "Um, you boys might wanna leave." I say as I clear my throat. Dean nods and then taps Cass's shoulder for him to follow but Cass stands firm as he says, "I want to know how a human can cure Sorcha?" I smile as I say, "Whatever, you can stay if you want."

Dean raises and eyebrow and then walks out of the room. I look at Cass then Charlie and say, "I think I may be starting what you humans call a 'Period'?" Charlie laughs as she says, "Really? You're starting your period why didn't you just send the..." she pauses for a moment at the sudden realization, "Oh I see, don't worry I got you covered." 

"I'm sorry what's a period?" I hear Cass ask and I smile. 

"Cass, there is much speculation on what a period is and why women are the only ones who have them. One being that it is woman's curse for having eaten the apple from the forbidden tree and the other marking that a girl is old enough to bare children." Cass looks at me confused for a moment then says, "You are over three hundred years old and you've never had one?"

"You're over three hundred years old?" Charlie says and I nod. "Wow, you look awesome for your age." 

"Thank you Charlie, and to answer your question Cass, I'm a Cambion therefore I am half Demon, I may even be more Demon then human; Cambion's don't age therefore they don't have periods. They are how do you say, Sterile?" 

"Lucky?" I hear Charlie say and I smile. 

"Then why are you having a period?" Cass asks and I shrug my shoulders, "I haven't the slightest idea, maybe it's because I'm here in a place that wasn't meant for my kind; or maybe this place makes me human?" Cass nods and then says, "I'll go ask Dean," 

"Wait! Don't tell Dean that I'm on my period that will just make things awkward." Cass tilts his head in confusion then says, "Okay," I watch as he walks out of the room and I turn back to Charlie.

"Thank you for coming all this way to help me." 

"No problem, but to make up for dragging me all this way you have to tell me all your stories." I smile as I say, "After I get some Midol in me and could you get me some pads?" She nods and then says, "Okay I'll be right back!" I smile as I say, "Thank you again Charlie." She smiles as a blush dances across her face. I watch as she leaves and seconds later Dean comes back in. I lie back against the bed and slowly cover myself up. Before I can say anything Dean climbs onto the bed behind me and wraps his arm around me.

"What are you doing?" I ask a lump of air knotting in my throat. "Shut up and relax." I raise an eyebrow as I say, "No really," I roll over till my face is inches from him. I look up into his beautiful green eyes and say, "Dean, what do you want from me?" He clenches his jaw as he reaches up and gently traces my jaw line with his finger. "I don't know, all I know is I don't like seeing you in pain and I don't want you to leave." 

A tear falls from my eye as he leans over and gently places a kiss on my lips. When he pulls away he intertwines his hand in mine and says, "Sleep, you need it." I smile as I say, "Bossy as ever huh," He smiles as he says, "Dam straight, now sleep." I quickly close my eyes and silently fall asleep while he caresses my hair.

-Dream-

I look around to see a dark and dreary place. My feet are bare and I feel the cold wet ground beneath my feet. I try to see where I am but the view remains dark. "Where am I?" I say as I walk toward a light. "Hello love," I hear a familiar voice say and I turn to see my father standing behind me. Fear fills my body as I try to move but find myself frozen in my footsteps. "Daddy?" I say finally finding my voice. 

"May I ask what you think you are doing?" He says as he walks toward me his face filled with fury.

"Daddy, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself," He lifts his hand and my voice disappears.

"Honestly, I'm tired of your lies. After all these years I thought that you would be the one person I could trust." I open my mouth and try to say something but find my voice is still gone. I feel my anger rise and I point to my mouth and using my Cambion abilities force my voice into his mind, "Father un-mute me now." He rolls his eyes but waves his hand anyway giving me my voice back.

"Really, you want to talk about trust! You lied to me first!" He raises an eyebrow as he says, "Really and how did I do that?" I grit my teeth as I say, "Meg," My father bites his tongue as he says, "How do you know about that?" 

"So it's true?" I say as tears start to fall from my eyes. "Yes I killed the bitch, but it was in self defense. She stabbed me first." My chest starts to feel heavy as I say, "I don't care you promised me you wouldn't touch her! You promised!"

He walks over to me and standing a few feet in from of me says, "I smell the Winchesters and Castiel all over you, I see you've chosen their side in this war." 

"Have you really given me any choice?" He looks down as my words hit home. 

"This is not how I envisioned our life Sorcha." I nod as I say, "I agree, I never thought in a million years you would ever do something to make me hate you." He swallows a gulp of air as he says, "You hate me?" 

My heart clenches and tears now pouring from my eyes I say, "No, I don't hate you. I want too, but I can't."

He nods and I continue saying, "You're my father and I will always love you, but right now I despise you with every fiber of my being." 

"I know you attempted to kill yourself." I fell a heavy weight fall on my heart as I nod, "I did. I tried but you know what, I couldn't. Dean freaking Winchester took away my knife and locked me in a room until I calmed down. I wanted him to kill me hell I wanted either of them to kill me but they wouldn't." 

"Why? What does it matter to them what you do?"

I look taken aback by his words and then realize he hadn't meant it to sound like I had heard it, "I honestly don't know, but what I do know is that right now at this moment; Dean is holding me and comforting me through this ungodly pain that I am now being made to go through. Seriously I don't know how human women go through this. It feels like a hellhound ripping into my flesh." He smiles as he says, "I can only imagine how it feels." He lets out a sigh and then snaps his fingers. When he does the pain is gone and I feel normal.

"What did you do?" I ask and he lets out a sigh. "Call it a going away present," I tilt my head in confusion and he smiles, "I think you've been hanging around that dam angel for too long. I helped you, you won't have to go through that ever again." I smile a half smile as I say, "Does this mean I can never see you again?" He lets out a sigh and says, "My darling daughter, this is the last time we will be on good terms. When you wake up we shall be enemies, oh and another thing; if that moose is successful and completes the trials," I see his eyes suddenly fill with sadness and pain, "You'll die." My heart clenches and then he disappears leaving me alone in the dark. I hear someone say my name and I suddenly find myself awake.

-End Dream-

"Sorcha?" I open my eyes to see Dean smiling at me. I smile back at him and in that moment; decide not to tell him about what will happen once the trials are complete. "Yeah," I say as I close my eyes again and try to pretend that I'm going back to bed. "How are you feeling?" 

"Much better. I actually don't think I need any help anymore." I open my eyes to see him raising an eyebrow at me. "What?" I ask as I pull his hands up to my lips. "Nothing you just seemed to heal really fast." I smile as I say, "Well, I am a Cambion Dean." He smiles as he leans across and gently kisses me, his tongue invading my mouth sending a warm sensation through my body.

Releasing his hand I reach up and cup his cheek in my hand. I feel his hand reach around and pull me closer to him deepening our kiss. Soft moans escape my lips as we pull apart for a brief moment to catch our breaths. Before I can say anything he lifts himself on top of me and starts kissing me deeper. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer to me. I start to pull at his shirt when I hear someone clear their throat behind us. We quickly pull apart and turn to see Charlie with her back to us slowly moving closer to the bed. I smile as I push Dean off of me. "What's in the bag?" Dean asks as he moves closer to it. I grab his hand and say, "No, that's not for you." I quickly jump up and grabbing Charlie's hand head to the bathroom.


When we are both inside I close the door and turning to Charlie say, "Can I tell you something, but you have to promise not to tell the guys?" She looks at me and nods, "Yeah, I promise I won't say anything." I let out a sigh as I say, "I'm not going to start my period," She tilts her head in confusion as she says, "I don't understand, then why did I have to go to the store and embarrass myself in front of Cass?" I run a hand through my hair and tell her about my dream, all but the part about the trials killing me.


"So you're father made it to where you won't ever have to have a period once you're human?" I nod and say, "It was his going away gift, I guess." She laughs as she says, "That's some going away gift." I smile as I nod. "So I guess you could say that you gave it all up for Dean." 

My heart clenches and I try not to cry. "Yeah, I guess you could say that." She reaches up and gently lays her hand on my shoulder as she says, "Well he's a really good guy, so I wish you guys luck." I smile as I say, "Thank you." She nods and then says, "So what should I do with these?" She says lifting up the bag of items up to me.

"Just leave them in here; I'll repay you by taking you shopping." 

"Oh, I love shopping." She says her eyes lighting up. I hear a knock at the door and I turn and say, "Yeah?"

 "Everything okay in there?" I smile as I walk over to the door and open it to see Dean standing there waiting for us. "Of course, I just need to go out for a bit." Dean raises his eyebrow as he says, "Why?" I look at Charlie and smile, "Girl time." Then I reach up and kiss his cheek as I grab Charlie's hand and head for the door. "Sorcha, can I talk to you for a moment?" I hear Dean say and I stop. "Go on I'll be there in a second." I say to Charlie and she walks past me.

When we are alone he takes my hands and says, "I was kinda hoping we could, you know?" he leans down and gently kisses my lips sending a wave of passion through my body and smile. I gently pull away and say, "After, I owe Charlie. I'm gonna take her shopping." He smiles as he raises his eyebrow. "Not that kind of shopping." I say as I turn to walk away from him. 

"How you gonna get there?" I smile as I say, "I don't know, maybe take a bus?" I smile as his eyes widen, "How about I drive you?" I raise an eyebrow as I say, "Or you could just give me the keys and I'll drive myself?" His eyes widen as he says, "Oh no, I'll drive. No one drives my baby." I smile as he walks past me to the door.

As he walks away I look down at my hands. I go to let out a heavy sigh and choke back the tears. I start to walk forward but end up running back to the bathroom just in time to throw up in the toilet. When I open my eyes I see the toilet filled with blood and my eyes widen. I wipe my mouth and I see blood on my hands. What's happening to me? I ask as I quickly flush the toilet and walk over to the sink and wash my mouth out. I look up into the mirror and as I look at my reflection my father's words ring out in my head. 'Sorcha these trials are not only going to kill Sam they are going to kill you.' I choke back the tears and the urge to throw up again.

I stand up straight and put on a fake smile as I walk to the front door. As I walk through the door I feel my Cambion powers start to course through my veins and I let out a sigh. I smile as I make my way to the impala where Dean, Charlie, and to my surprise Cass, are waiting patiently. "Hey are you coming too?" Cass nods and I smile, "Oh this is gonna be fun." I wink at Dean and he smiles back at me. I quickly climb in the front passenger seat and snuggling up to Dean we drive off toward the mall.
