Heaven and Hell - Book 1, Castiel Fanfic

4.13 After School Special - part 2

(Your POV)

Sam, Dean and I walk down a deserted school hallway. "How's the nonviolence assembly going?" Sam asks me. "Apparently, shoving a kid's arm into a Cuisinart is not a 'healthy display of anger'." I say, rolling my eyes. "What happened in there?" Dean asks me.

"I... I heard this sound of a blender, which I didn't know was a blender yet..." I explain. "The noise got louder and louder, but then stopped right before the kid shoved the other kid's hand into the blender." I explain, seeing Sam and Dean exchange looks.

"What?" I ask. "Maybe you should step back from this job... I mean, I know it's already hard because of Liam..." Dean says, but I stop him. "Don't." I interject. "Let's not talk about him." I say, looking at Dean with pleading eyes. "Ok." Dean says, nodding at me.

"So, the kid had ectoplasm leaking out his ear?" Dean then asks. "Which only comes from a seriously pissed-off spirit. It's got to be ghost possession." Sam says, making me nod. "Yeah, but that's pretty rare." Dean says. "Yeah, but it happens. I mean, they get angry enough, they can take control of a person's body." I explain, seeing Sam nod.

"All right, so, what, we got a ghost in the building?" Dean asks. "Yeah, but where? I mean, there's no EMF. Maybe we could find out who it is, at least. You know, check and see if somebody died bloody around here or something." Sam says, making me frown. I see both of them look at each other again and I sigh. "Guys... You can use the word 'dies' around me ok. Liam died a long time ago... I'm fine." I say.

"Ok, well, let's find out who died here then." Sam says, nodding at me. "Way ahead of you. I had to break into the principal's office to get this. Oh, and FYI, three of the cheerleaders are legal. Guess which ones." Dean says, making me frown at him. "No." I say.

He gives me a hurt look, before he unfolds paper he took from his pocket. "So, there was only one death on campus. It was a suicide back in '98. Some kid named Barry Cook." Dean says. Sam gasps at this. "What?" I ask confused.

"I knew him. How did he die?" Sam asks. I pat his back in a comforting manner. "He slit his wrists in the first-floor girls' bathroom." Dean says. "That's where –" Sam says, but gets interrupted. "Right where the chick got swirleyed to death, exactly. So, what? This ghost is possessing nerds?" Dean asks.

"And using them to go after bullies, yeah." I say, nodding. "Well, does that sound like Barry's M.O.?" Dean asks Sam. "Barry had a hard time." Sam says.

(Third POV) Flashback

It's between classes and there are students in the hallway. Barry is walking down the hall, and another student bumps him and makes him drop his books. Young Sam sees this and helps him pick up his stuff.

"Thanks, Sam." Barry says. "Great school." Young Sam says sarcastically. "I don't care. Three years, and I'm out of here. I'm going to Michigan State. They got the best vet program in the country." Barry says. "Do you like animals?" Young Sam asks. "They're a lot nicer than people." Barry says, shrugging his shoulders.

Young Y/n is grabbing some stuff out of her locker, when Liam walks up to her. "So, what's your next class?" he asks her. "Chemistry..." Young Y/n says, scrunching her face when she reads it on her schedule. "Aw, that's ok. Chemistry can be fun... especially when you have an awesome partner like me." Liam says, making Young Y/n look up at him.

"What?" she asks with a small smile. "You want to be partners?" Liam asks. "For chemistry, I mean." He says again, now a little more nervously. "Sure. Maybe you could make it a little more fun." Young Y/n says with a wink, walking towards the classroom.
