Aphrodite drove down the empty highway. She remembered where the Roadhouse was. She got there way before Dean and Sam in the Impala. She drove up the driveway. Park the Fury, got out and she looked at her beautiful car. That's when everything had hit her. She knew who she truly was and what she had to do. She also knew the moment she walks through those doors her life will be changed again. Everyone will welcome her back with arms wide open, and expect her to know what has happened to her, and ask why she walked away.

She walked up to the double french red doors that lead into the Roadhouse Bar and Grill. She opens them and walks in, everyone sitting there was just staring at her. Then before she could walk up the bar, they all stood up and gave her a standing ovation, she walked towards the Bar that is where she saw Jo, Ellen's only Daughter. Jo was on the other side.

Jo: “ Aphrodite I didn't know that you were coming in. What's going on? Did Ash ask you to help out? What an ass.”

Aphrodite *chuckles* : “ Thanks Jo but no Dean asked me to help out, apparently the case Ash has for them, they need my expertise on the demon they're going to face. I have faced one of them before. Nasty little buggers. Hard to kill too, where is Ash? He's in the back?”

Jo: “ Aphrodite you sure you want to get back into this? I mean we all know that you just had a baby. Are you sure you're fit enough to do this? Before you say anything I am not doubting you at all. You just walked away for a reason. I just want to be sure you are making the right choice.”

Aphrodite; “ Jo, I know what I am doing love. Have to remember I've been doing this longer than anyone you know and as for my son he is in great hands. I have nothing to worry about. Plus no witch can find Deans and Is house. I have my ways. No questions. Anyways Ash where is he?”

Jo: “ In the back in his office. Have fun. And best of luck.”

Aphrodite Nods her head and walks back. Gets to the office, knocks and walks in. Ash was sitting there with the file in hand right for her, Dean and Sam to take it with them. He looks up in a shocked state.

Ash: “ Aphrodite, I didn't expect you to be here. I didn't think you would take them up on the offer to be honest. You sure you want to do this. This Demon you will be facing is not the topical one like before. This one is more of the one the kidnapped you.”

Aphrodite *With annoyance in her voice*: “Next freaking person to ask me if I am sure about this, will get a dangerous bullet in the ass, get it. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be here right now. This is who I am. Ash now passes me my copy of the case. So I can look at it.”

Ash handed her a copy of the case in the file. She began to read.

This demon I have been doing research on and there is nothing known on the web. But according to the books, this Demon is known for kidnapping, raping their victims then killing them. This Demon goes by the name of Valac. Valac doesn't have a date that they are dated back to. But this one is not the topical one. How to kill it is still unknown to man. There is only one hunter who survived a Valac attack. The only one that is known to everyone in the hunting world. If you wish to survive and live, you will need to find them and get their expertise.

Valac does smell fear from a mile away. It's best not to face them when you are scared. You should just flee at that moment. In my personal opinion just face it head strong and take it from there. One other thing about Valac make sure you have nothing they can use against you because they will. And you will be sorry.

Valac can be found in the darkest places in the world. Thing about that is that it is not the easiest to find. He finds you and makes you a target. People have learnt in the past if you hand him an old victim, he will sense them and try to kidnap them again, to finish what he had started.

Aphrodite finishes reading the file. And all the thoughts go to the last time she had faced Valac. What he had done to her. The kidnapping and the torture she had endurance, it had made her shiver. Dean and Sam had walked in and they both put their arms around her to comfort her, Ash looks at Dean and Sam with worry in his eyes. Before he could even ask them what was going on with her. She had looked at Ash.

Aphrodite: “ Ash, How did you know it was me that he had kidnapped? How do you even know if I could face him again. I don't think I am strong enough for that. I am still scared of it, I will for life. And you guys want me to go back into this. I don't think I am ready for it yet.”

Ash: “Aphrodite I will not ask you to help us kill him. We just need to know what his weakness is. So we can use it against him. What do you do?”

Dean: “ Baby, you don't have to go through with it. If you are not ready to. I was just hoping you could help us find him. To finish him for good. He already chose his next target. And I have a strange feeling that it's you. Sammy we must go prep. Are you ready for this?”

Sam: “ Dean I was born ready you know that. So let's go. Aphrodite. Go to the bar and start drinking if you feel like it. We are really sorry that we didn't tell you through.”

Aphrodite: “ Yeah I do need a couple of drinks if we are going to do this. And it's fine you had your reasoning not to tell me. I am upset with you both. But I understand why you didn't tell me. Baby you knew I would have backed out, I get it you need me and I'm right here for you both.”

Dean and Sam nodded their heads, grabbed their copy and walked out. Aphrodite left Ash in a shocked state, she walks to the Bar, looks at Jo.Jo looks back at her, trying to remember her favorite drink she used to order all the time.

Jo: “ Aphrodite, I'm drawing a blank. What is your favorite drink again? I feel so stupid about asking you.”

Aphrodite: “ Jo dont worry about it, I got your back and don't ever feel stupid about asking me that. It's been a long time since I drank. So to answer your question it was Southern Comfort on the rocks.”

Jo nods her head and gets Aphrodite`s Southern Comfort on the rocks. Gives it to Aphrodite. Aphrodite takes it in hand and one breath downs it. Puts the glass on the table and asks Jo for another one, Jo does it, and Aphrodite downs that one too. After maybe 20 mins Aphrodite was ready to get to work. She stands up, turns around and looks at Dean and Sam who are waiting for her. Dean reaches for her elbow. Looks at Sam grabbing the keys from her pocket. Handing them over to him.

Dean: “ Sammy, be careful of her car eh. She will snap if you scratch her up. You drive it, I will take her in the Impala, she is not state to drive. She's totally out of it.”

Sam: “ I agree Dean. you take her and I'll take the Fury and don't worry I won't scratch her up. I'll drive carefully, geez have some faith in me.”

Dean: “ Thanks Jo. I think we are ready now. Sam lets go. ASH!!!!!! Come on man. You're coming with. We can't go without you. And with Aphrodite being in the state she is in, she can't defend like she used to. Sam lets go and takes Ash in the Fury with you.”

Ash comes out from the back and looks at them both. And follows them outside to the car. He jumps in with Sam in the Fury and Dean puts Aphrodite in the Impala, Looks at Ash. Before getting in himself.

Dean: “ Ash where was the last sighting of Valac? How would we know that we found him?”

Ash: “ Dean as much as you might not like this idea but it's the only one I have at the moment. We must go to the last place she was kidnapped at. He should still be there according to my sources. From there we must let Aphrodite take the reins. He will find her first. And we must be ready.”

Dean: “ Yeah you're right I don't like that idea. You know damn well I know where that is. And I vowed to never go back there once I saved her the last time. You are asking me to put the love of my life in danger again. Just for us to finish this once and for all. Son of Bitch, I hate it when you're right. We better start driving now. It will take us some time to get there.”

Dean jumps in the Impala. Ash went with Sam. Both cars were driving at lighting speed, all the way to the abandoned warehouse, where Aphrodite was held prisoner and fighting for her life. In the most beautiful state of Jones. After driving what seems to feel like weeks. They pulled in a motel driveway and got themselves a room. Aphrodite was put in one of the beds by Dean. Sam, Ash and Him started to hit the books.

Then in the middle of a discussion they were having Aphrodite has awoken from her slambers. Got up off the bed, and headed towards the door. Before they knew anything all she had said was “ I know where he is. I'll be back” They all jumped and bolted after her. Followed her to the warehouse she was once at. She walked up the stairs ready to face her very own nightmare all over again. She had to brace herself.

She opened the door and yelled for him. She listened very carefully to where the footsteps were coming from. Before she knew it, she was in the middle of the plant floor.

Valac: “ Oh My loving Aphrodite, it's been too long. You have come back to me. I knew you couldn't stay away forever.”

Aphrodite: “ Valac you know damn well on why I am here. You honestly think I'm back to be with you. You think wrong. I am here to finish you off once and for all. Only me no one else. They don't know your weaknesses like I do. And guess what I plan on using that against you.”

Valac: “ My love, you hurt me. But let's get real here, you honestly think you can defeat me. You know what you used to be the greatest Hunter in the world. You've been out of the game for too long, my sweet Aphrodite. You are not as strong as you used to. You have aged my love. Don't forget I know your weaknesses too. You're too smart to show up here unarmed. You honestly believe that I will fall for this. I am VALAC THE GREAT. VALAC THE TERRIBLE. AND VALAC THE WICKED. I am the most powerful Demon known to your kind!”

Aphrodite: “ That's your big speech please, I can take you. I will use your weaknesses against you. I know now why you kept me alive. Why didn't you come after Dean and I to finish me. You wanted to kill me yourself once I knew what true love felt like. What it meant to be happy. To be in my weakest state. Well here I am, finish me off. Make Dean feel what you felt when I killed your mate. I ended them, and made them into ash. TO nothing. I fought you once I'll do it again.”

Valac started to step closer to Aphrodite, going in for the kill. He picked her up by the throat. Throw her across the room, making her land on some old equipment. She gets up ready to try again. Out of the blue she starts to remember why she got into this line of work. Looks around quickly and finds a metal pole. She takes it and swings at him. Valac dodges her the first. She swings backwards. She thinks the second time the charm. Valac goes down on his knees in pain. Gets up and disappears into the shadows. Aphrodite looks around not seeing him anywhere. Knowing his game she follows him. Taking her time looking behind her. And remembering everything she was taught about being a hunter. It comes back like a tidal wave to her.

She hears a loud bang, coming from behind her. She starts to think it's Dean and Sam coming to her rescue. Before she knew it, Valac found her. He started to stand behind her in silence.

Valac: “ Mm my sweet Aphrodite you let your mind wander around me. That's the worst thing anyone can do. You know what I am capable of doing. You've seen my powers first hand. But yet your love for him kept you alive. You honestly believe or think it will this time.”

Aphrodite: “ You know nothing of my love for him. Your right I have. You think I'm going to let you win this time. I know your end game Valac. So true me.”

Valac started to chant, something in Latin, Aphrodite couldn't make it out..

Valac: “ Detrahet me quietam Detrahet me pacem Somnia in strato meo: sequuntur somnia tuam”

Aphrodite started to feel a little dizzy. Valac continued to chant the spell. A spell she knew very well. She used to use it all the time. She had forgotten how it sounded. She couldn't find it anymore. She fell over and went to sleep. Valac finished the chant one last time. Walks over to her, picks her up and carries her off to his chambers. Valac got to his chambers, placed Aphrodite on his bed. And tied her up. Just like the way he used to the first time around. He started to think to himself that this time he was going to finish her once and for all, there will not be a Queen of the hunters.

Valac leaves his chambers, walks the empty halls. He started to believe that someone was watching him. He started to look around frantically trying to pinpoint them. But he was not able to. All the sudden he heard that Aphrodite had woken up from that powerful spell he had placed on her.

Aphrodite started to yell, and tried to break free but was unable to. The binds were too tight for her, so she did the second best thing she could that was to yell and yell some more. Valac rushes into the room. Looks at her with awe in his eyes, as if she didn't even make any movement. Valac stood over her, wondering if she could be easily killed or hurt like before. But yet there was one question that left him in wonder even more than anything in the world. How did she know that he was here waiting for her return. He would have finished her off even if it wasn't for that DAMN WINCHESTER that's in love with her.

Aphrodite looked at him with defeat in her eyes, but with just a slight thing of hope for Dean to show up to rescue her. That's if he had followed her. She was hoping he did. Usually did when she went off to hunt when they were together. While she was laying there all of the different memories started to rush back to her. All the times he had swooped in and saved her like she was a dismal in distress, on his white shiny horse like he was a knight or something. That put a smile on her face, she looked at Valac.

Aphrodite: “ Oh you're going to be sorry in a few moments. Dean will come here and kill you once and for all. Just like he did before. And guess what? You can't do anything about it. You're such an idjit. I dare you to hurt me.”

Valac: “ You honestly think he scares the shit out of me. You have another thing coming. He does not. Oh my loving Aphrodite you dont know one thing about my weaknesses. You don't even know what it is. That makes me laugh. As for your lover Dean there he can try to save you this time but I don't think it will work. I will end you even before he has the chance. You've been out of the game for too long from what I was told.”

Aphrodite looks at him trying to have her poker face on. But it didn't seem to work. She was forgetting that he can read minds as well, so that's why he is able to kill his prey. He knew everything that was on her mind at that exact moment.

Valac: “ So, you had a baby a couple of months ago. Oh my Aphrodite, you really shouldn't be thinking about anything but how you are going to get out of here alive. Because we both know he is not going to come until it's too late for you. Just like before.”

Aphrodite: “ You even think about touching my son. I will kill you myself. Trust me you would not have to worry about Dean`s temper, it be mine. Valac you have nothing over me anymore. You are powerless against me. That's how I know I am your weakness, that's why you haven't killed me yet. You're toying with me. You can bear the thought of me being dead.”

In the distance she heard a slight whoosh. And the sense for Castiel. Which only meant one thing to her, that Dean and Sam were not that far off from where they were. Valac had not clued in yet. Aphrodite closes off her mind from him. She started to struggle to break free again, but was still unsuccessful.

Valac: “ HUH? That is interesting to me. You don't think I didn't hear that now Aphrodite. Sadly mistaken. I did, now time to finish him off, something I should have done a long time ago. This is the reason why I didn't kill you, because I wanted you to watch your precious Dean DIE! Along with his brother and his idjit Angel of his.”

Aphrodite *struggling*: “ Don't you dare touch him. Or you will deal with me. You honestly think Dean will let his guard down and get himself killed. He's a lot smarter than you think. He would never let that happen. Not with Sam and his “Angel” as you call him are around.”

Valac disappears towards the direction that the Whoosh came from while traveling on the beams of the abandoned warehouse. When he arrives he sees Dean, Sam and Castiel in the middle of the floor from where he was standing on the beam up above them. He could hear them trying to game plan on how they were going to save Aphrodite. Valac let go a soft and low chuckle. He couldn't wait to finish his master plan. Everything was going to plan in his mind. He was going to wait until he could hear her struggle. But she wasn't, instead she started to cry. He could tell what was on her mind. He picked up the love she had for Dean and how deep it ran, her new born baby boy she left behind.. She was holding on to hope that Dean could finish him once and for all.

Valac stops listening into her thoughts and focuses on his plan. Has he waits and feels the blood inside of him boil. He couldn't bear the thought of her being with that Winchester any longer. He had to finish him tonight. He jumps down and lands quickly on the floor of the plant.

He walks behind them all. Dean walks off to check all the offices. Hoping he can find his wife. Valac watches him as he walks off. Waiting in the darkness, reading his mind.

Inside Deans mind:

I should have followed Aphrodite better, honestly who cares if she saw me. I'm her Husband, a lousy one at that. I can't believe I'm going to be the one that gets her killed. I just hope she is not dead, wait what am I saying? She's Aphrodite Gilmore, before she became a Winchester. She was the best of the best. She knew almost everything on every demon known to man.. Besides if I truly want her to be okay ever again, I have to Kill Valac, but how am I going to do that. If only I knew his weakness. Wait a minute there is still one question left unanswered. Why didn't Valac kill Aphrodite before? Why wait until now to try to kill her? Why the change of heart? Is it possible that he figured out Aphrodite's weakness? That makes no sense she has none. That is none that I know of. She stopped talking to him the last time I had to come save her from his wrath. OH SON OF A BITCH.!!! He knows her weakness. And he's going to use it against her. I have to warn Sammy and Cas before he finds them.

Before Dean could open his mouth to scream after Sam and Castiel. He turns around and sees Valac standing there with a smile on his face. If Dean knew something for sure, he knew that Valac knew what he was thinking. Dean goes in for a swing and misses the first time around, he tries again and misses again. Valac jumps over Dean and knocks him out with his powerful mixture of melatonin and chloroform, Valac was hoping he wasn't going to kill him with this mixture he had made. He has not tested it on anyone. On the other hand it would make everything easier for him, but he wanted to play with them a little bit first. He then dragged Dean away to his room, and chained him up right in front of his bed where Aphrodite can see him torture Dean.

After what seemed like days, but only a few hours Dean woke up.

Aphrodite: “ Dean, oh shit he got in my mind again. Now he knows. I'm so sorry. I never wanted to get you hurt. I was only truly trying to protect you from all harm, that's what a wife is supposed to do. And I failed you. I'm not as strong as I was before Baby. I'm tired and weak. I'm in love with you. I love you more than anything in this world. Now we are both dead because of that. I'm such a moron, I should have been more careful.”

Dean: “ Baby that means nothing now. I vowed to protect you and love you no matter what. That is what I am going to do. But I have failed you. I am so sorry Aphrodite. I swear if we survive this I will make all of this up to you. I don't care how long it will take me, if it takes me years and years to make it up to you then so be it!”

Aphrodite: “ Dean, baby you are going a mile a minute you have nothing to make up to me. You have done everything you could do. That's all you can do , you don't have to make anything up to me. You did great, it looks us this long to figure out what his weakness is now use it against him, it's the one way. Just means you have to kill me in order to hurt him Dean. I am his weakness but you already knew that I assume?”

Dean: “ Aphrodite that is the craziest thing I ever heard you in forever. I will not. We will figure something else out. Yeah I found out a moment too late. I am so sorry. Cas and Sam will try to find out before it's too late for us all. There is no way Valac will be able to take Castiel. Cas has his ways. He will get us out of this mess. I hope.”

After some time passes Dean and Aphrodite just stare at each other. They both realize that this might just be the last time they will be together, they couldn't bear the thought. Meanwhile Valac was looking for Sam and Castiel. They were trying to find Dean but were unable to. Then just when they thought they had found him Valac jumped out and caught them off guard.

Valac had no issues taking care of them. He managed to knock out Castiel knowing his background. His life. Valac knew Cas was an angel. Ties him up to a chair, takes the chair to the room where he was holding Dean and Aphrodite. Goes back for Sam, ties him up as well to a chair and places the chair right beside Castiel. They both try to break free but unable to. The more the struggle , the tighter the ropes became around them. Dean and Aphrodite look at them.

Aphrodite: “ Well this can't be good. seriously , not you two as well. Well we are fucked. There is no one else that is able to save us now.”

Dean: “ Baby it will be okay, we will make it out alive. I know it. Dad will come find us.”

Sam: “ Dad dont know where we are Dean so how is he going to find us?”

Cas: “ Babe your forgetting who I am, I can send messages with my powers. Because of my grace. I never knew I could until the last time we went on a hunt, how you do think Aphrodite knew where we were and needed her help. I sent her the location using nothing but my mind. I can try doing that for John. Hopefully he can get here before all of us are killed”

Sam, Dean, Aphrodite and Cas all looked at each other, not knowing what to do or say or even think. They were all at a loss for words. So as they waited and waited for Valac to come back. While they were waiting Castiel was trying to reach John Winchester for him to come save them from Valac before it was too late. Castiel knew what was going on. Valac waited until now to finish off Aphrodite because she was the one that got away from him and the only one that knew how to kill him now. Castiel could not stand by and let that happen. He knew that it would destroy Dean. Dean needs Aphrodite more than anything in this world. He knew that Dean would never find another like her. He was going to protect him from that.

In Castiels mind he started to send their SOS to John; John if you can hear this we need your help, we have been captured by Valac. Aphrodite knows what can kill him, but for that to work she has to die and you know what would happen to Dean. So if you get this in your mind, please come fast before it's too late for us. We need your help.

While they wait for Valacs next move on them with nothing to do next. They all felt like a sitting duck and they felt helpless. Valac comes walking in the room, looking at Dean, Sam and Castiel first with the utmost dirty look on his face. Then stares at Aphrodite. Smiles like he knew exactly what to do with her.

Valac: “ I hope you all said your goodbyes to each other, as for you Dean, I wish I could say this is going to kill me but I don't think it will. I believe this will kill you more than it will for me. As you remember my mate Ginuwine, and how she killed her. I kept her alive all this time to make sure Aphrodite understood what I felt when I was Ginuwine`s mate. It's time for you to feel what I felt when Aphrodite turned her to ash, into nothing right in front of me.”

Dean: “ Valac you cruel son of a bitch. That is the sickest thing I have heard in my years of being a hunter. I swear to Diana, I will kill you if you touch my wife. And I will make sure it is a painful death.”

Valac started to laugh before he spoke again: “ You think you can kill me this time. I don't think so. I hid my weakness very well. I'm not sure if you even know what it is.”

Dean starts to struggle to get free to get his hands on Valacs throat. But the more he struggled the tighter the binds that held him. Dean didn't really care, he knew what he had to do. Even if that meant he made his wrists bleed. He was going to do that. He had to save Aphrodite before it was too late…
