Angel's daughter

Chapter 24

I don't know where I am. I don't understand. This isn't where I was a couple minutes ago. I'd fallen asleep in my own room in the bunker. There's too many moving parts here, I can't keep up with it. My dad, my mum. Sam and Dean? Where am I? I woke up on the ground at some cabin by a lake and mountains. Despite everything going on, I was staring at a long, thin bright tear. Is that the rift? If anything was going to look like one, it would be that. We found it. We need to close it now. I froze when I heard rushed footsteps around me. Sam and Dean ran into the rift and disappeared, closely followed by Lucifer. I sat up with some difficulty, my hands were pinned behind my back. Lucifer stopped and looked at me for a second before heading in after Sam and Dean. I looked around and my mum was with me,

"Grace, you're back" She sighed, relieved. I tilted my head at her,

"What happened?" I asked. I pulled at my hands and realised they were in handcuffs, "Why am I in cuffs? What's going on?"

"Shh" My mum pulled me into her, "It's ok. Just calm down"

"It's not ok. He's looking for that rift. I can't be near it. He might find out where it is" My dad came up to me,

"Do you know if he's gone?" He looked to my mum. She nodded,

"She's back" He looked to me now, taking the cuffs off and handing me my blade back,

"If Lucifer comes out, get your mother back to the bunker"

"What about you?"

"I need to help Sam and Dean" He left us both, heading into the rift after them. I looked at my mum now, scared. I still had no idea what was going on but I found I couldn't think of any question to ask. I had to get here someway and it wasn't by my own conscious will. It was silent. I sat for ages on the ground, thinking over what just happened. Dad's white shirt had showed off some very obvious stains, he looked like he had been thrown into the mud. For all I know, I could have done that. They went into the rift, why? Were they closing it? And Lucifer? I looked to my mum again and she could see all the questions whizzing around in my head,

"We're trying to trap Lucifer on that side of the rift and close it" She explained,

"How did I get here?" She sighed, looking down now,

"He took control of you again"

"For how long?" She didn't answer me. I don't remember fighting him on control, or being awake at all during the whole thing. Come to think of it, I don't even remember Kaleb trying to warn me or help like he had last time. Sam came through dragging a bloody Dean with him. I stood up now. My dad didn't come out, "Where's my dad?" I said slowly, staring at them now. Dean looked to me, about to say something when another light came from the rift and my dad appeared. He gave a sort of sigh before he suddenly exploded in light. I knew that light and screamed at it. The tip of the blade visibly poked out his front before he fell to the ground, Lucifer stood behind him. I ran towards my dad, dropping down beside him and trying to do anything to wake him up. My power doesn't work at the best of times and this time was no different. I couldn't bring him back,

"Well, gentlemen" I looked up at Lucifer, locking my eyes on this target. I've never wanted someone dead more than I did right now. I never did more than defend myself but every fibre of my being was screaming for retribution. I never got round to taking it though as my mum did. She dug the blade deep into his chest, right up to the handle. Lucifer's eyes lit up red and he stumbled back towards the rift. Before he fell through, he grabbed my mum. I jumped up when I saw it,

"No!" I ran at the rift when they disappeared but before I got to it, it closed up. Without the rift's light, the lake was dark. It was the dead of night. I stumbled when I missed the rift and fell onto my knees. My eyes were trained on the dirt below me. My mother is in the apocalypse world and my father is dead. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry out, I wanted to break something, hit someone.
