Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own anything related to Supernatural at all, it is owned by the CW and Kripke. It is merely an inspiration. I do own Amie, she is my own creation. Any resemblance to a real person is purely coincidental.

Spoilers: Story has flashbacks to season 8 and somewhat follows the timeline of season 9, though I have changed up some stuff. There is no Ezekiel/Gadreel in my story and I like Kevin, so...

Prologue

Washtenaw County, Michigan

Approximately 1 year ago

Adelpha peered through the small window into the dining area. She'd never been more nervous about a mission before. But then again, she'd never been given such a high priority assignment either. One of her targets was already in the restaurant, sitting at a booth, drinking coffee while reading a book. She just needed the other to arrive, then she'd be able to get to work. She decided she should get out front so she could maneuver the two of them close together, otherwise she'd never accomplish what she'd been sent to do.

Adelpha had been briefed on the previous attempt on these particular targets. It had been more than a year ago at their first meeting. It had been a dismal failure; no one had even gotten close to them. They'd had to wait more than a year to try again. If she could pull this off, it would be a triumph for her. She was determined to make sure that happened.

The bell over the door rang, signaling new customers. She quickly glanced to the front and saw the second of her targets come through the door. Time to get to work.

She hurried past the other waitress and approached the two men standing at the front of the restaurant. They made her extremely nervous, but then again, the Winchesters made everyone nervous, especially Dean. She put on her best smile as she grabbed two menus and smiled at the brothers. Her plan wouldn't work if she didn't get them seated where she wanted them.

"Evening, gentleman," she said. "Just the two of you?"

The taller of the two, Sam, nodded. "Yeah, thanks."

Adelpha led them to a table in the middle of the restaurant, right next to the booth where her other target was seated. So far so good. She handed them menus and took their drink order, promising them she'd return soon. She turned to the booth and asked the woman seated there if she needed anything.

The cute redhead smiled up at her. "Some more coffee, please," she replied.

"Amie?" Adelpha heard Sam say as she walked away from the booth. She breathed a sigh of relief. Perfect, they'd noticed each other. Things were going just as she'd planned.

She waited several minutes before she returned to the dining area, giving the Winchesters and the woman named Amie time to talk. She needed Amie to move to their table and to sit next to Dean or her mission would fail. Her palm itched, the need to do what she'd been sent to do was becoming overwhelming.

She was relieved when she returned from the kitchen, drinks in hand, and saw that Amie had moved to the table with the Winchester brothers and was sitting next to Dean. This was going much better than she had ever imagined it would. She was just close enough to him for what Adelpha needed to do. She hurried over, a smile plastered on her face.

"Well, what happened here? I could have sworn I had two tables when I left a minute ago," she said cheerily, though her voice sounded shaky and nervous in her ears.

Sam smiled up at her. "She'll be joining us, if that's not a problem."

"Sounds great," Adelpha said as she set her tray of drinks on the table. As she passed them around, she purposefully made herself trip so she had to put one hand on Dean's shoulder and one on Amie's. She felt the familiar zing of the arrows leaving the bows on her palms. Both Dean and Amie looked slightly startled for a split second, then the moment passed and their conversation continued as if nothing happened.

Adelpha stepped back from the table, content with the knowledge that she had succeeded. It was just a matter of time before the arrows took effect. They were one step closer to the prophecy becoming reality.
