Shelby Winchester's Backstory Season 1

Salvation Pt. 1

"Dad" Dean asked and Dad answers upset "yeah. It's Jim. You know, I can't" he starts then his face hardens. "This ends, now. I'm ending it. I don't care what it takes" John says and we all get back in our cars and pull back onto the road, speeding into the distance.

We dropped Sam off and Dean and I went out and started to look at different files. "So, since you're a demon can you, like, detect other demons" Dean asked? I couldn't help but laugh a little at him. "Half demon, and somewhat, depending on if I'm paying attention and" I started but stopped. "And what" Dean asked "and if I let her take over" I said and Dean looks up from the file confused.

"Her" he asked "I know the demon's a girl. I don't know her name or how strong she is so I just call her, her" I said with a shrug. "Yeah, that's not wired" Dean said and looked back down and I laughed. "So what exactly can you do, since your half demon" Dean asked? Ever since I told him that I was half demon he's been playing 20 questions with me.

"I'm stringer, really strong if I let her take over. I'm faster, can hear things better, my eyes change, and who knows what else. I'm not exactly testing the waters with this demon. To be honest I'm kind of scared to" I said. "Why" Dean asked "because if I let her take over and see what she can do, what if. What if I can't come back, what if I can't take control" I said and Dean is silent, thinking it too.

Once we finished we picked Sam back up and he told us about a vision he had. Sam sat on the table, rubbing his temples. Dean, John, and I sit on the end of each bed. Dad and I on one bed. "A vison" John says and Sam answers slowly and in pain "yes. I saw the demon burning a woman on the ceiling". "And you think this is going to happen to this woman you met because" John asked?

"Because these things happen exactly the way I see them" Sam says and Dean stands up. "It started out as nightmares. Then it started happening while he was awake" Dean said and John looked at me. "Don't look at me, I have nightmares of hell, not people dying" I said putting my hands up. Dean gets more coffee as Sam winces "yeah, it's like the closer I get to anything to do with the demon the stronger the visions get" Sam said.

"All right. When were you going to tell me about this" John asked and Sam, Dean, and I stop and look at John "we didn't know what it meant" Dean said. "Besides it's not like you told us about Shelby" Sam said and I glare at my two brothers. "All right, yes, but something like this starts happening to your brother, you pick up the phone and you call me" John said.

Dean dumps the coffee jug and cup back on the counter and strides toward John. "Call you? Are you kidding me? Dad I called you from Lawrence all right? I called you when we found Shelby, when we lost Shelby again. Sam called you when I was dying. I mean, getting you on the phone? I got a better chance of winning the lottery" Dean said. "You're right. Although I'm not too crazy about this new tone of yours, you're right. I'm sorry" John said.

"Look guys, visions or no visions, fact is, we know the demon is coming tonight. And this family's gonna go through the same hell we went through" Sam said. "No they're not. No one is, ever again" John said and Sam's phone rings. "Hello" he asks "who is this" Sam asked and pauses for a moment. "Meg" Sam says and Dean and I look at each other as does John.

"Last time I saw you, you fell out of a window" Sam said and I listened closely "yeah, no thanks to you. That really hurt my feelings by the way" Meg said. "Just your feelings? That was a seven-story drop" Sam said "lemme speak to your Dad" Meg said and Sam looked at Dad. "My Dad, I don't know where my Dad is" Sam said.

"It's time for the grownups to talk Sam, let me speak to him now" Meg said. Sam hesitates then hands the phone to John. "This is John" John says and looks at me, giving me the 'don't listen in' sign. I sigh but not to him "I'm here" he says. After a couple of minutes Dad says "Caleb"? Sam, Dean, and I react to the name instantly, going on alert.

"You listen to me. He's got nothing to do with anything. You let him go" Dad says "I don't know what you're talking about" he says and I can tell he is lying about something. "Caleb, Caleb" dad yells when we hear him coughing and joking. "I'm gonna kill you, you know that" John says. After a few minutes of silence Sam, Dean and I walk over to him.

"Okay" John said and we look at him confused. "I said okay, I'll bring you the colt" John said surprising us. "It's gonna take me about a days drive to get there" John said. "That's impossible. I can't get there in time and I can't just carry a gun on the plane" John says after a moment before hanging up.

"So you think Meg is a demon" Sam asked? "Either that, or she's possessed by one. It doesn't really matter" Dad says. "What do we do" Dean asked "I'm going to Lincoln" Dad says. "What" Dean and I asked at the same time. "It doesn't look like we have a choice. If I don't go, a lot of people die, our friends die" Dad said.

"Dad, the demon is coming tonight. For Monica and her family. That gun is all we got, you can't just hand it over" Sam said. "Who said anything about handing it over. Look, besides us and a coupla of vampires no one's really seen the gun, no one knows what it looks like" John said to us. "So what, you're just going to pick up a ringer at a pawn shop" Dean asked?

"Antique store" John says "you're going to hand Meg a fake gun and hope she doesn't notice" I asked? "Look, as long as it's close, she shouldn't be able to tell the difference" John says. "Yeah but for how long? What happens when she figures it out" Dean asked concerned. "I just need to buy a few hours, that's all" Joh said to us. "You mean for Dean, Shelby, and me. You want us to stay here, and kill this demon by ourselves" Sam asked?

"No Sam. I want to stop losing people we love. I want you to go to school, I want Dean to have a home. I want Shelby to have a life without being a demon. I want Mary alive. I just want this to be over" Dad said tearing up a little. Sam and John check the guns while Dean and I head out to find another gun.

We pull up to a muddy back road where Sam and John are at. "You get it" John asked Dean and me. "Yeah, thanks to Shelby over here, we actually found something that looks similar" Dean said pulling out a brown paper bag out of his pocket and hand it to John.

John pulls out an antique gun and looks at it "you know this is a trap don't you. That's why Meg wants you to come alone" Dean said. "I can handle her. I got a whole arsenal loaded. Holy water, Mandaic, amulets" Dad starts "Dad" Dean says. "What" "promise me something" Dean says "what's that". "This thing goes south just get the hell out. Don't get yourself killed all right, you're no good to us dead" Dean said.

"Same goes for you" John says and there's a long pause. "All right listen to me. They made the bullets special for this colt. There's only four of them left. Without them this gun is useless. You make every shot count" John says to us. "Yes sir" Sam says and I nod. "Been waiting a long time for this fight. Now it's here I'm not gonna be in it. It's up to you kids now. It's your fight, you finish this. You finish what I started. Understand" John asks?

We all nod and John hands Dean the colt. "We'll see you soon Dad" Sam said "bye dad" I said with a small smile. "I'll see you later" John says before getting in the truck and leaving. We watch him drive away and Dean says to himself "later Dad".
