Supernatural

Chapter 1: Home of Memories

Mary Winchester carries her son, Dean, into her newborn's room.
"Let's say goodnight to your brother okay?"
Once Dean is on the ground, he runs toward his baby brother's crib to give him a kiss on the forehead.
"Good night Sam."
Mary leans in to kiss her newborn while rubbing his head lovingly.
"Good night, love"
The sound of a young girl's voice echoes from behind them.
"Mommy!!"
Mary turns around to see her six year old daughter running towards her, with her gold charm bracelet jingling together. Mary picks up her daughter and gives her a kiss.
"Hello Angel."
She kisses her daughter on the cheek, making her giggle.
John Winchester comes into the room staring at his family with a look of happiness in his eyes.
"Hey Dean."
Dean turns around to see his dad and runs toward him with a smile.
"Daddy!"
Dean jumps into his dad's arms. John jokingly asks Dean a question.
"You think Sammy is ready to toss around a football?"
Dean shakes his head at the silly question,"No daddy."
Mary walks past her husband holding their eldest child with a content smile,"You got him?"
John grins at his wife,"Yeah, I got him."
He looks at his newborn's crib and gives a small smile,"Night Sammy."
He turns off the lights and shuts the door.
~~~
Emma shifts around in her sleep before her eyes flutter open at the smell of smoke, she looks at her younger brother sleeping peacefully.
"Dino! Dean!"whispers Emma.
Dean groggily wakes up to his sister's calls,"Huh?Emmy? What?"
"I think there is a fire!"
Emma pulls Dean out of bed, making him stumble and runs down the hallway. She stops outside Sammy's new room to see her dad holding Sammy and fire spreading around them.
"Dad!"
John passes Sammy to his daughter. John stares into her eyes with a seriousness she never seen before,"Emma, take your brothers outside as fast as you can now! Go!"
Emma runs down the stairs holding Sammy securely in her right arm, while pulling along Dean with her left.
Something crosses Emma's mind as she skids to a stop with Dean stopping with her.
Dean yells in panic,"Emmy what are you doing?!"
Emma places Sammy in her younger brother's arms before placing her hands on his shoulders,"Dean, take Sammy outside as fast as you can and don't look back!"
Dean looks at his sister with worry as he cradles Sammy in his arms,"But what about you Em?"
Emma rushed,"I'll be right behind you just go! Go Dean!"
Dean nods and goes to run out the front door, while Emma runs to a closet and pulls out her book bag.
She dashes to a cabinet and opens it, pulling out all the albums she could. Emma coughs loudly when she inhales some smoke. She puts on her heavy bag and runs toward the front door, but jumps back with a scream when part of the ceiling collapses in front of her.
Emma turns around and runs toward the back door. She jumps out just as Sammy's nursery explodes, the force of the blast sending her a little farther. She groans as her head connects with the ground.
Emma tries to stand as the world around spins. Emma falls to the ground, black spots covering her vision until she saw all darkness.
~~~
22 Years Later
Dean and Sam lean against the 67' Chevy Impala outside a gas station.
Dean says,"We just got to chill out, that's all. If this was any other kind of job, what would we do?"
Sam sharply exhales then walks closer to his brother,"We'd try to figure out what we were dealing with. We'd dig into the history of the house."
Dean comments,"Exactly, except we already know what happened."
Sam answers,"Yeah, but how much do we know? How much do you remember?" Dean glances at his brother a little uneasy, "About that night, you mean?"
Sam nods,"Yeah."
Dean avoids eye contact with his brother,"I remember the fire. The heat. I remember our sister handing you to me and telling me she'll be right behind me. Then I carried you out the front door with dad right behind me, but our sister wasn't."
Sam gulps at the only memory he has of his older sister," Dad said she never made it out the house."
Dean grimaces,"Yeah, dad carried you and me away from the house, but when he realized that she wasn't with us......Your nursery exploded. The police said she was never found so she was classified as dead."
Sam feels a twinge of hope,"That means she could still be alive then, Dean. We have to look for her."
Dean shoots down the idea of his older sister being alive," Come on Sam. If she was alive then where is she? Where has she been for the last 22 years? Finding dad is not enough, but now we're going after someone who might not even be alive?"
Sam tries to get through to his brother," I don't know Dean. Maybe she has a good reason. Dean, if they never found her body there's a possibility that she could be alive."
Sam stands there in silence then speaks,"I didn't know you carried me out the house."
Dean glanced at his younger brother for a brief second," What you never knew that?"
Sam slowly shakes his head,"No."
Dean continues," And uhh. Well, you know dad's story as well as I do. Mom was....was on the ceiling, and whatever put her there was long gone by the time dad found her."
Sam questions,"And he never had a theory about what did it?"
Dean said,"If he did, he kept it to himself. God knows we asked him enough times."
Sam replies,"Okay if we're going to figure out what's going on now, we have to figure out what happened back then, and see if it's the same thing."
Dean answers,"Yeah, talk to dad's friends, neighbors, people who were there at the time."
Sam lightly laughs," Does this feel like just another job to you?"
Dean silently breathes," I'll be right back. I got to go to the bathroom."
After Dean finishes the voicemail to his dad, he pulls a gold charm bracelet with butterfly charms on it. He looks at it with sadness. He remember his sister first getting it from their mom.
-Flashback-
Three year old Dean is sitting on the ground playing with his toy cars when his five year old sister runs in with a big smile on her face, making Dean curious,"Why sis so smiley?"
A gold charm bracelet dangles in front of the three year old's eyes.
Emma squeals,"Mommy give it to me, it so pretty."
Dean nods in agreement, seeing Emma happy made Dean smile.
-flashback end-
After the fire was put out, the police gave the bracelet to them saying that's all they found. Dean always kept it clean and shiny. It was all he had left of her. When Sam brought up the idea of her still being alive, he wanted to believe she was still alive, but too many years has passed for him to believe that.
After 22 years, Dean still wondered what she went back for that got her killed. He always thought that if he stopped her from going back in she would still be with him and Sam today. Dean sighed before putting the bracelet back in his pocket and walking back to Sam.
~~~
Missouri chuckles as she looks at Sam and Dean.
Missouri laughs,"Well, let me look at you. Oh you boys grew up handsome.(laughs)(points at Dean) and you were one goofy looking kid too."
Sam smiles in amusement as Dean looks confused.
Missouri looks at Sam,"Sam...."she holds Sam's hand and her face turns sad,"Oh Sam, I'm sorry about your girlfriend and your father...... He's missing? Also, you're also wondering if your sister is alive?"
Sam looked confused," How did you know all that?"
Missouri stated," Well you were just thinking it."
Dean looks at Missouri and asks,"Well where is he, is he okay?"
Missouri responds,"I don't know."
Dean stutters,"You don't know? Your psychic aren't you?"
Missouri snaps at Dean,"Boy, you see me sawing some bony tramp in half? You think I'm a magician?"
Sam smiles at Dean getting scolded as Missouri continues,"I may be able to read thoughts and sense energies in a room, but I can't just pull facts out of thin air."
Dean looked a little freaked out from being scolded.
Missouri commands," Sit! Please."
Dean and Sam sit on the couch as Dean leans back Missouri comments,"Boy you put your feet on my coffee table and I'll whack you with a spoon."
Dean looked confused," I didn't do nothing." Missouri states," Yeah well you were thinking about it,"
Dean makes a face
Dean opens his mouth to speak when Sam beats him to it,"Firstly, is our sister alive?"
Missouri nods,"Yes she is."
Dean's eyes widen in surprise and stutters,"wh-what? How do you know? You didn't even know if our dad was alive."
Missouri states,"I know because she had left a letter to me with her name on it."
Sam heart sunk at the thought of how he just missed his sister.
Dean asks,"Does she know where we are? Why hasn't she been looking for us?"
Missouri scolds Dean,"What you think I can pull the answers out of no where? I'm just telling you what I know. She wants to tell you herself. She told me to tell you boys "I am closer than you think."
Dean looks at his brother," What does that mean?" Sam shrugs,"I don't know."
~~~
Dean asks,"What is this stuff?"
Missouri answers,"Angelica root, van van oil, crossroad dirt, a few other odds and ends."
Dean questions,"What are we suppose to do with it?"
Missouri explains" We're going to put them inside the walls in the north, south, east, west corners on each floor of the house."
Dean mumbles," Punching holes in the dry walls(sarcasm) Jenny's going to love that."
"She'll live," answers Missouri.
Sam asks," And this will destroy the spirits?"
Missouri nods," It should. It should purify the house completely. We'll each take a floor, but we work fast, once the spirits realize what we're up to, things are gonna get bad."
Dean comments,"Well isn't that nice."
Missouri tells them ,"By the way I called a friend of mine to help us to make it easier."
Dean complains,"What?Why? We can do this on our own."
Missouri kicks Dean making him flinch,"She's a good friend and is actually a friend of Jenny."
~~~
A black car parks across the street from Jenny's house. The front door of the house opens revealing Jenny, her two kids and Missouri.
Jenny looks at Missouri unsure,"Look I- you know. I'm not sure I'm comfortable leaving you guys here alone" A female voice comes from behind Jenny scaring them all,"Just take your kids to the movie or something, it'll be over by the time you get back."
Jenny turns around,"Emma?"
Sari smiles and jumps into Emma's arms," Emmy!!!"
Emma smiles,"Hey Sari. Now you, your brother and your mom have fun okay?"
Sari nods.
Emma pats the girl's head,"Good girl."
Jenny nods,"Okay"as the family leaves Missouri hugs Emma laughing,"Look at you. You grew up beautiful huh?"
Emma smiles,"It's good to see you too Missouri . So let's get this over with."
Missouri pulls her into the house and locks the door before saying," You can take the second floor with Sam alright?"
Emma nods.
~~~
Emma finishes putting the little bag in the wall that Sam hasn't done yet. She hears little knocking sounds on the wall. Emma stands up walking down the hall just in time to hear a crash, making her run faster.
She runs into the room to see Sam on the floor with a lamp cable around his neck choking him. Emma runs towards Sam and kneels down pulling the cable at his neck hoping to loosen it.
Sam tries to gasp for air as the cable tightens at his neck. Emma looks at the little bag on the floor before kicking a hole into the wall and throwing the bag in. Light flashes throughout the room. When it stops, Emma kneels down untying the cable from his neck.
Sam feels himself slowly lose oxygen as the cable tightens. He suddenly feels it loosen up.
He feels soft hands patting his face, he hears a gentle voice call out to him," Sam! Sam wake up! Your okay, it's okay."
Sam slowly opens his eyes to see green eyes staring at him with worry.
~~~
Sam, Dean and Missouri all stand in the kitchen where it was mess.
Sam asks Missouri," Are you sure this is over?"
Missouri think for a minute before saying,"I'm sure. Why? Why do you ask?"
Sam shakes his head and sighs ," No never mind. It's nothing I guess."
The sound of the front door opening reaches their ears and the lights turn on.
Jenny calls out,"Hello? We're home!"
Jenny walks into the kitchen to see the mess," What happened?"
Sam apologizes,"I'm sorry.We'll pay for everything?"
Dean makes a face like 'what'
Missouri explains,"Don't worry Dean will clean up this mess."
Dean's face shows disbelief as Missouri turned towards him," Well what you waiting for boy? Get the mop."
As Dean turns to get the mop Missouri says," and don't you cuss at me."
Emma walks up behind Sari," Hey Sari."
Sari smiles and jumps into Emma's arms again making Jenny scold her," Sari!"
Emma waves it off," it's fine Jenny."
Sari looks at Emma with scared eyes," Can you sleep with me tonight?I'm still scared of the thing in my closet."
Emma agrees," Fine just to prove there is nothing there okay?"
Sari nods happily as Emma continues talking," Go get dressed for bed."
Sari runs upstairs to go change for bed. Jenny," You should come over more often."
Emma sighs," You know I cant, Jenny"
Sam walks up to Emma,"I never thanked you for saving my life."
Emma gives him a smile that made him give one back,"it's not a problem, really."
Sam holds out his hand,"I'm Sam."
Emma shakes his large hand with her smaller ones,"Emma."
After Dean finishes he comes back to see the new girl talking to Sam,"Hey, who's the chick?"
Emma chuckles lightly,"Like I said I'm Emma."
Dean states," Well I'm Dean."
~~~
Emma holds Sari and rocks her back and forth hoping to get her asleep, which was slowly working. The sound of a chair screeching reach their ears. Emma looks towards the closet to see the chair she put there to keep it from opening, sliding away.
The doors slowly open and a figure on fire slowly walk out making Sari start to cry. Emma stares at the figure in shock. Suddenly Sam passes by the door carrying Richie, seeing the figure on fire.
Sari cries out,"Help me!"
Emma jumps up and carries Sari out the room and down the stairs to the front door.
Emma hands Sari to Sam and says,"Sam, take them outside as fast as you can. I'll be right behind you."
Sam's eyes widen in shock at the familiar words.
Sam opens his mouth to speak when she pushes him towards the door,"Go!"
Sam picks up Sari and run outside with her and places them next to their mom.
Jenny looks at her daughter," Are you two ok?"
As her two children nod she glances at Sam and Dean, who were looking at the door. Emma runs to the door to see everyone outside when something suddenly pulls her backward and slamming her into the kitchen table.
~~~
Inside
Emma groans as her body smashes into the kitchen table. She starts to stand up when she's slammed into a cabinet and is unable to move.
Outside
Sam runs up to the door and bangs on it yelling,"Emma!"
Sam slams into the door over and over again trying to break it. Dean runs up behind him and moves his brother to the side before slamming the ax in the door over and over. Dean makes a hole big enough for them to crawl through.
Dean screams,"Emma!"
They run into the kitchen to see Emma pinned to the brown cabinet and the figure on fire slowly walking toward her.
Dean aims his shotgun loaded with rock salt at the figure on fire,"Hey!"
Emma screams out,"No! Don't!"
Dean looks at Sam then between Emma and the figure,"What?Why?"
Emma whispers," Cause I can see her clearly now."
The three of them all stare at as the fire slowly faded away to reveal someone Sam never got to meet.
Dean whispers in disbelief,"Mom?"
There stood Mary Winchester looking the same she did when she died, she smiled at Dean," Dean"
She glances at her youngest child, who was nearly in tears,"Sam"
Sam chokes out,"Mom."
Mary walks toward her daughter pinned against the cabinet and apologizes," Angel, oh sweetheart I'm so sorry."
A tear drop fell from Emma's eye,"What for?"
Mary smiled at her daughter before turning around and facing the ceiling with a frown,"Release my daughter and get out of my house."
Mary became fire once again and exploded at the invisible force on the ceiling. Emma felt the force holding her against the cabinet disappear. Emma felt eyes on her as she looked up at Sam and Dean, who looked at her with a shocked look.
Dean whispers,"Daughter?Emma look at me!"
Emma glances up to meet Dean's sad yet mad gaze. Dean steps closer to Emma,"Emmy?"
Sam looked at Dean a little strange for the nickname.
Emma gives a small smile," I'm closer than you think, Dino."
Dean pulls Emma into a strong embrace with her returning the hug.
Dean sniffles,"I thought you were dead for 22 years. I never believed that you were alive."
Sam stands in shock seeing his older sister that was dead for 22 years.
Emma pulls back from the hug and looks at her baby brother standing in shock. She walks closer and pulls him into a hug, Sam slowly melts into his sister's hug. He felt tears come to his eyes,
Emma whispers in his ear,"I'm sorry for not coming back for you and Dean. I'm sorry for leaving you alone your whole childhood. I'm sorry about your girlfriend Sammy."
Sam pulls back and looks at his sister,"How do you know about Jessica?"
Emma answers,"I've kept tabs on you guys of course and dad, but he dropped off my radar."
~~~
The three siblings walk toward the impala as Sam turns toward his sister,"Are you coming with us?"
Dean looks at his sister hoping she'll say yes. Emma glances between her younger siblings.
Emma lost her words,"I'm not sure."
Dean tells her,"You should come along, so we can catch up."
Sam nods in agreement.
Emma shakes her head in sadness," Boys I'm sorry, but I can't come."
Sam snapped,"Why not?!"
Emma sighs,"If I was with you it wouldn't be safe. Tracking dad and the demon is dangerous enough."
Sam shouts, " Traveling together is safer than traveling alone!"
Emma sternly says,"End of discussion Sam."
Dean sighs in sadness but asks," What have you been doing for all these years?"
Emma smiles,"I've been hunter for at least more than half of it. I'm a part time nurse, that's how I earn the money. I would discreetly hunt so I can hunt more than one thing in the same area."
Dean smiles,"A nurse huh? That's one step away from being a doctor."
Emma also smiles,"Yeah I know. I already have a doctor's degree though. I choose to be a nurse."
Sam watches as his older siblings talk like they were never separated.
Sam yells,"Dean! How could you just stand there talking like she was never gone. You were pissed when I left!"
Dean glances at his younger brother," Sam. You gotta understand okay. I just got her back after thinking for 22 years that it was my fault for her death, Sam."
Emma watches the fighting growing between her two brothers.
Emma steps between her two brothers,"Stop! You're brothers for god sakes. I know dad didn't raise you two to act like this Sam, and Dean I know you're trying to protect me, but Sam's right."
The brothers stand in shock at their older sister's words. Sam was rarely told that he was right from Dean or his dad.
Emma looks between them," Look, I should've been there okay, for both of you. I was selfish for not wanting you to go through the pain of losing me again when you found out I was alive. But you two have been through so much together, shouldn't that count for something?"
As Emma spoke the brothers were silent," Sam I'm proud of you okay. I'm sorry you lost Jessica, but you can't keep taking it out on your brother. Dean doesn't show it but as his brother you should know that he means well. So I'm sorry that you're mad that I can't come."
Emma puts on her leather jacket before walking to her car and unlocking it.
Before she could go in she gets pulled into a strong hug," I'm sorry okay. I just I spent my whole life not knowing you then you show up and you can't even stay? You know how bad it feels?"
Emma sighs," I was in your life you know, but you never knew."
Sam looked at his older sister in confusion," What do you mean?"
Emma goes to her duffle bag pulling out a white envelope and handing it to him.
Emma tells him," Open it when I leave."
Emma ruffles Sam's hair before getting into the car and driving away. Sam watches in sadness as the car disappears from his sight before bringing his attention to the envelope in his hand.
He opens the flap before pulling out the contents inside. He looks at the photo in surprise seeing his dead girlfriends smiling face right next to his older sister. He flips to the back of the photo to see Jessica's neat cursive writing
Jessica and Emma "Beginning of an amazing friendship"
He never knew that Jessica knew his sister. Sam stands there before running back to Dean's car.
Sam puts the picture in his brothers hands and says, "What do you see?"
Dean looks at his brother confused before glancing at the photo in his hand.
Dean felt his eyes widen seeing his baby brothers dead girlfriend and their older sister right next to each other smiling, "What the hell?"
Sam said, "Right before Emma left, she told me she was watching over me but I just didn't know."
Dean looks at the envelope in Sam's hand, "What else is in it?"
Sam pulls out multiple folded papers, opens one and reads it out loud,"
   Dear Em, how's life on the road? I wish you would come visit me at Stanford, I met this amazing guy. His name is Sam and he is nice, smart, funny. He's everything a girl could want.
Weirdly, he kind of reminds me of you. Please write back soon
~Jessica
Sam looked shocked at the letter as did Dean. Dean takes another piece of folded paper out of Sam's hands before reading it aloud,"
     Dear Jess, sorry I can't come and visit. I've been hunting a lot lately and I don't have time to come visit you. Sorry I can't meet Sam.
Hope you have a good day with him~
~Em
Dean looks confused," Hunting? What was she hunting?"
Confused, Sam answers," I don't know. Maybe Jess knew she was hunting, but didn't know what she hunted. I don't get why Jess never told me about her knowing Emma."
Dean roll his eyes," Well they barely talked on the phone let alone in person. How was you suppose to know?" Sam opens another envelope to pull out more pictures.
Sam started," What the-"
Dean pulls the picture out of his brother's hands," Let me see that."
In the picture, it was a picture of their dad teaching them how to shoot a gun, when Dean was about 14 and Sam was 10.
Dean looks at the picture with wide eyes,"What-"
Sam says," Dean look at these pictures."
Dean took the pile from his brothers hands only to see a picture with young Sam reloading a shot gun,another with Dean laughing while smashing ice cream into Sam's face, another with their dad watching them sleep, one with their dad teaching Dean how to drive and many more with their faces.
Dean flips through them and states," They all have us or dad on it."
Sam pointed at the pictures," She knew. She knew. All this time she knew where we were and never told us. She followed us. You think dad knew?"
Dean shook his head unsure," If he did, he probably had a good reason for it."
Sam scoffs in disbelief," What good reason is there for keeps our sibling from us."
Dean shoots back," I don't know Sam. He might have never known either."
Sam sighs,"Now I'm just worried about when we'll see her again." Dean says," Hopefully we see her soon."
