A few hours earlier
Klaus and Stefan were sitting at a table with a group of voluptuous clothed women all with the same hungry gleam in their eyes, staring at the young girl sitting in the center of Klaus and Stefan. She kept her eyes on the table, her heart beating painfully. She should’ve gone straight home after school, but her boyfriend had asked her to come to this place. There had been something odd about him, like he wasn’t himself. Like he was under hypnosis. And now she was sitting here with these people, who had come sit by her uninvited. First just the men, but one by one the women joined them, as if it was a planned meeting, as if they had been waiting for her. Well, she was here. Her boyfriend, however, was nowhere to be found. She could use his help right now. If she could just put her hand in her pocket and get out her cell phone. She let her hand glide off the table, but before she could get it into her pocket one of the two men grabbed it and forced her to look up, with a terrified face. “Please” she begged, tears in her eyes. “Let me go” “What are you up to?” Klaus asked. The girl recognized a British accent. “What do you have in there?” Klaus asked while turning out the girl’s pocket, conjuring the cell phone. He widened his eyes and waved with it. “Were you planning on calling your mommie?” The girl shook her head heavily. “Yes, you were” Klaus said, so soft it was almost a whisper. “And you’re going to” He looked the girl sharp in the eye. “You’re going to call your mother and you’re going to say you got attacked by an animal, but you’re okay and you will be staying with your boyfriend” “Why would I say that?” the girl asked with a trembling voice. “Because it’s the truth and because I say so” Klaus answered. He gave her the cell phone and she dialed her home number. She heard a click and then her mother’s voice. “Mom? It’s me, Amber. I got attacked by an animal, but I’m okay. I’ll be staying with Derek” She heard her mom protesting, but she closed her cell phone. “Good girl” Klaus said. He looked up at Stefan. “Stefan, where are your manners? You haven’t offered Amber a drink yet” “I am so sorry” Stefan said and he brought his arm to his mouth. Ambers eyes bulged when she saw how Stefan’s face mutated, how he opened his mouth, showed four large canines, and let them sink into his flesh, blood streaming over his arm. He grabbed Amber by her hair and forced his bleeding arm on her lips. Amber had no choice but to drink. Stefan pulled his arm back and showed his canines again. “My turn” he said. Amber, who knew that whatever was coming wasn’t anything good, begged him to let her go. “Please, don’t hurt me. I just want to go home. Please” she cried. Stefan’s face went back normal and his canines grew back to human size. He hesitated, something Amber noticed. Klaus grabbed Amber by her arm and threw her on the ground. She scribbled up and ran outside the door.
“You let her escape!” one of the other women yelled with a high pitched voice.
“Off course not” Klaus slowly said. “There’s no fun if the food walks into your arms so easy” He turned to Stefan. “I’d go get her, if I were you. I could easily sent some werewolf to your brother, getting him to bite him...again. I won’t be so generous of giving my blood a second time”
Stefan got up and raced out of the door.
Amber ran for her life, having no idea where she was heading to. All she knew was that anywhere was better than the place she had just left. She reached a high fence. She turned around, to make sure she hadn’t been followed. No one was there. She turned back around and started climbing the fence. When she had her feet back on the ground she felt the air breezing in her neck. Her heart pounded in her chest, she swallowed to remove the crop in her throat. She dared not to turn around, because she knew it wasn’t just air. She felt how a cold hand lay her hair over her shoulder, slowly and gently. She squeezed her eyes, tears rolling over her face and hooked her fingers in the holes of the fence. “I’m sorry” she thought she heard him whisper, before she felt a sharp, inflaming pain in her neck. She tried not to make a sound, but something in her took over and screamed the lungs out of her body.

One week later.
Heather was sitting by Meg’s bed. A week had gone by and Meg hadn’t opened her eyes once. The doctor had told her she was not in a coma, but just fast asleep. She would live. It was just a matter of time before she woke up.
Cas was less lucky. Someone had tried to kill him again, but fortunately there was a camera in the room and so the doctors could interfere just in time. Heather couldn’t help but wonder if keeping Cas alive wasn’t just extension of execution.
She felt something soft and cold on her arm and she looked down to see Meg’s finger moving.
“Meg?” she said.
Meg’s eyelids moved and slowly, but surely she opened them.
“Welcome back” Heather sighed relieved.
Meg tried to sit up, but Heather gently pushed her down again.
“Careful” she said. “I’ll go get a doctor” She hurried to the door and walked outside to call a doctor.

Dean carried Cas to the entrance, where Zoey blocked their way.
“You’re not going anywhere” she said.
“Right, because you’re going to stop me” Dean said sarcastic. He pushed Zoey away and walked further to the entrance.
Zoey jumped his back. She tugged his hair and scratched his face.
Dean lay Cas down as careful as possible. He grabbed Zoey’s hair and pulled her off. He smacked her on the ground and kicked her wherever he could.
“I think you’re losing your angel juju” Dean said.
Zoey crawled towards Cas. She grabbed his collar and dragged him away, closer to the edge of the holy circle.
“What are you doing?” Dean asked scared.
He got his answer as Zoey emptied a few bottled of alcohol she had kept their in stock. She conjured a lighter and smiled evil at Dean.
“No!” Dean shouted, but Zoey dropped the lighter and caused another fire.

The first witness was the mother of the seven year old boy Cas had healed from a life threatening fever.
“I went to the kitchen and when I came back Mr. Allen, as he presented himself, had his hands all over my son. I…I think he was taking advantage of my son’s weakness”
“Objection!” Craig said. “I think everyone in Castle Rock knows about my client’s special abilities? Castiel can heal people with his bare hands, which is why Mrs. Jones had him come over in the first place. But to do his job he needs to touch his patient. He doesn’t even charge them”
“Of course he wouldn’t” Evan Trumble, Daphne’s attorney, said. “That’s because he knows that what he’s doing is wrong”
While Craig and Evan where quibbling, Cas looked sharp at Mrs. Jones.
“I never touched your son and you know it. I saved your son and this is not the right way to thank me”
Mrs. Jones seemed to cringe and looked around to find support or a way out.
