My Immortal

Hurtful Words

**Two Days Later**:

 Dean sighed, as he walked the grounds of the monastery alone, he needed to clear his head for a bit after the non-stop training they've done over the last couple of days. He stopped walking and stared at the massive, old, yet still incredible and imposing looking building, the longer he stared at it the more uncomfortable he became; he wasn't sure what the feeling was exactly, but it was almost like guilt, but that was impossible! He had never been here before to have done anything that would make him guilty. Truthfully though, being in or near any church or holy place made him extremely uncomfortable and on edge because of what he is and he knew Zander felt the same, but this time the feeling was stronger...different.

 The other thing that was bothering him; something he hadn't told any of the others about, was how much stronger he felt here. Like his powers had become supercharged since he got here and that not only confused the hell out of him, but it also worried him. He didn't believe in fate, but there was a reason they had met and befriended Father O'Conner and it all came down to being here. He sighed again, as he ran his hands over his face, his life was complicated enough, he didn't need to add this crap to it!

 "Dean?" Zander's voice spoke from behind him.

 "Yeah?" Dean replied sighing again.

 "Are you alright, brother?" Zander questioned, as he stood beside him.

 "Uh, let me get back to you on that." Dean answered smiling, looking at him.

 "What?" Zander asked confused.

 "Never mind." Dean replied laughing, before they both looked at the monastery. "Zander, can I ask you something?"

 "Of course."

 "Okay, um...this is going to sound weird, but do you feel like you're somehow, I don't know...connected to..."

 "Here?" Zander said, cutting Dean off.

 "You feel it too, don't you?"

 "I do, I have since we arrived." Zander answered sighing.

 "How? I don't get it, Zander, neither of us have ever been here before; hell, we didn't even know it existed until Father O'Conner told us about it!"

 "I don't know, Dean, but I do know that we're connected to this place somehow and by being here your powers have become stronger." Zander replied, hearing those words shocked Dean and he looked at him.

 "How did you know? I haven't told anyone." Dean asked.

 "I can feel it." Zander answered.

 "Do you think the answers to all our questions are in the history of this place?" Dean questioned, as both men stared at the monastery.

 "I do."

 "I was afraid you were going to say that." Dean replied sighing.

 "Afraid he was going to say what?" Paige's voice spoke from behind them, they both turned to face her.

 "How long have you been standing there?" Dean asked.

 "Just got here, I was bored out of my damn mind, so I came to see what my two favorite blood-suckers were up to!" She said smiling, hearing the nickname Dean and Zander looked at each other smiling, before they looked back at her, still smiling.
