I walked into the kitchen,
Sam said" It's hot." I laughed as Dean grabbed it anyways,
He said" Hot bread!" I moved my finger and the other toast was put on the plate.
I snapped my fingers and my room was cleaned and bed made up, I smirked as I walked out of my room. I walked into the kitchen and saw Dean letting his dog lick off a plate. I giggled, shaking my head as he looked around for Sam.
Dean said" There you go. Good boy."
I said" Dean, he's not supposed to have bacon."
" If I can eat it, so can he." I dropped my head,
" No, that's not..." I laughed," That's not how that works, man."
" It was barely a scrap."
" Okay. Whatever." I laughed and walked away, shaking my head, only my brother.
I was sitting on the table with my laptop, Dean and Miracle sitting in the chairs, Sam came in. He got on his laptop too, sitting across from Dean,
Sam said" Nothing weird coming over the wire. Social media looks clean. You got anything? Dean?"
Dean said" I got something."
——
We pulled up, Getting out of the car,
Sam and I said" Are you sure you're ready for this?"
Dean said" Oh, I don't have a choice. This is my destiny." I laughed, Akron's Pie Fest." It's just so beautiful." Sam and I looked at Dean,
" Are you crying?"
" What? No. You're crying. I'm... I'm gonna go get some, uh..."
" Pie."
" I'm gonna get some damn pie." I dropped my head, laughing, Sam looked at me as Dean walked away.
Sam and I sat on a bench, then Dean walked up with a box, he sat down and said box had 6 slices of pie in it. Sam scoffed, making his sad face, too easy to know.
Dean said" What? What's wrong?"
Sam said" Nothing. I'm fine."
" No, come on. I know that face. That's, uh- that Sad Sam face."
" I'm not Sad Sam. I'm just... I'm thinking about Cas, you know? Jack. If they could be here."
" Yeah. Yeah, no. I think about 'em, too. You know what? That pain's not gonna go away. Right? But if we don't keep living, then all that sacrifice is gonna be for nothing. So quit being a freakin' Eeyore, huh? Come on. Get into this."
" Yeah, you're right." I went for the cream pie, Sam's hand stopped me, I pouted but smiled as he put the pie on Dean's face." I have wanted to do that for a very long time." He laughed," Oh you're right. I do feel better." I laughed, shaking my head as Dean just ate the pie on his face.
——
I was invisible as we walked up to a home invasion, it sounded vampy, so we were checking it. Sam and Dean took out their badges,
Sam said" Singer and Kripke. FBI."
Sheriff said" Feds do home invasions now?"
Dean said" Oh, yeah. We're full service."
Sam said" Something weird over the wire. One of the bodies- its blood was drained?"
She said" Oh, yeah. Throat torn out, the whole nine. Some kind of cannibal crap."
Dean said" And the kids?"
" Taken."
Sam said" What about the mom?"
" They left her, but they ripped out her tongue."
Dean said" Any idea what these guys look like?"
" Kinda. She drew this." She showed them a picture... that looked familiar, really familiar. She walked away once she was called for,
Sam said" Sure. Thanks for your time."
Dean said" I recognize that face."
" Yeah, me too."
I said" Yep."
Dean said" All right, let's see it. I think it was in '86. Dad was working a string of kidnappings along route 77." Dean had dad's journal, Sam had a map,
Sam said" 77."
" So, uh... Akron, Canton, East Sparta. He didn't find much, but the witness did draw this." He showed us the drawing," Kids were taken. The adults that weren't drained had their-"
" Had their tongues ripped out."
" Yeah. You know what this is? Mimes. Evil mimes."
I said" Yeah, or vampires."
" Vamp-mimes. Son of a bitch."
" Why'd I say anything!"
Sam said" Alright. Well, if this is the same nest and if the pattern holds, then they'll target Canton next."
Dean said" Okay. It says here that, uh... they target families that are living outside of town, that are isolated, kids usually between the ages of 5 and 10."
" Okay. So, who in Canton fits that bill?"
——
We watched the van pull up, the two vamps got out, heading for the house, we went up. Dean sliced the head off one of them, and as the second advanced for Dean,
Sam said" Hey!" He shot the vamp in the leg, then in the head.
We pulled the mask of the vamp,
Dean said" Hey. Hey there, sleepy."
The vamp said" What'd you hit me with?"
" Oh, it speaks. Not a mime. Still evil, though."
Sam said" It was a bullet- soaked in dead man's blood."
" So, let's talk kids, hmm? Those two that you grabbed a couple nights ago- where are they?" The vamp laughed, I sighed,
I said" Yeah, you really should tell him."
The vamp said" And if I do, what? You let me go?"
Dean said" Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No. This isn't a you walk out of here kind of a situation. But, see, if you tell us quick, you get this." He held up the machete," But if you take your time, you get, uh..." Sam let up the blade of a small knife," You get that."
" Yeah, I'll- I'll take that itty-bitty one."
Sam said" That's a bad choice."
Dean said" You see, this-this is quick. It's clean. You know, no muss, no fuss. You blink, and you're dead."
" But a blade this small... I'm gonna have to keep sawing and sawing to get your head off, and you'll feel it. Every muscle, tendon, every inch. It could take hours."
" Oh, and if those kids are dead, he's gonna use a spoon."
The vamp said" They- They're not dead. They're with the nest. We... take a harvest. Every few years, grab a couple kids, raise them up, feed them right, juice them. We don't do fast food."
Sam said" Yeah. Alright. Where are they?"
We pulled up to a barn,
Sam said" This the place?" As we got out of the car,
Dean said" Dark, creepy, something out of a Wes Craven's erotic fantasy? Yeah. It's 100% the place. Alright." He opened the trunk, then the other trunk. Sam grabbed a gun, Dean held up the ninja stars," Come on, one time." I grabbed a machete, hiding a smile.
" No."
" Why not?" He looked at me and Sam,
I said" No."
" But we could-" Sam and I looked at him, he put the ninja star back." Go with the machete." He closed the trunk, holding up the machete, I smiled and we walked into the barn.
We looked around, we heard clattering, we walked to the door, and Dean opened it. We saw the kids,
Dean said" Hey, boys. Okay. Come on. Stay behind us. We're gonna keep you safe. Come on." We turned around and saw the vamps,
Sam said" Go. Go. Go. Run!" The kids ran out the back door, I gripped the machete in my hand.
" Okay." We started fighting, I was lifted up and thrown onto the ground, the vamp crouched over me as I went for my machete and tore it away from me. He punched me, everything went black.
I woke up, I kept my eyes closed, but slowly started reaching for my machete.
Dean said" It's like running into somebody in high school, you know? Somebody you don't want to see. Well, you look good. You do. I mean, a little dead, but, uh, good."
She said" Thanks."
" So, what, are you, like, the, uh- the big boss or something?"
" No. I just called dibs." I jumped up, Sam did too and cut off the woman's head. Sam and I started fighting one of the vamps, while Dean handled the other. Sam cut off the vamps head, we looked at Dean, I ran over and cut off the vamps head. A signal went off in my brain,
Sam said" Alright. Let's go find those kids, get them outta here."
Dean said" Sam, Haz... I don't- Mm. I don't think I'm going anywhere."
" What? What are you talking about?"
" There's something in my- something in my back. It feels like it's right through me." Sam and I walked to him, Sam reached behind him, Dean groaned, Sam pulled his hand back and I saw a lot of blood." Oh, god." He screamed,
" Alright. Um... hold on. Okay. Uh, I got you." Sam and I tried to move him but he stopped us.
" No, no, no, no, no. Don't-Don't-Don't move me. Don't move me. It feels like this thing's holding me together right now." He coughed then wheezed," Just give me-just give me a minute."
" Yeah. Um... alright. I'll call for help. I'll get the first aid kit." Sam started walking away, my eyes started tearing up.
" Sam, Sam! Sam... stay wi- Stay with me. Can you stay with me, please?"
" Okay. Yeah."
" Okay. Okay. Uh... right. Alright. Listen to me. Um... you get those boys and you get them someplace safe, alright?"
Sam and I said" Dean... we are are gonna get them somewhere safe."
" No. You knew it was always gonna end like this for me. It was supposed to end like this, right? I mean, look at us. Saving people, hunting things- it's what we do."
" No, no. Stop, okay? Just-Just stop."
" It's okay. It's okay. It's good. It's good. We had one hell of a ride, man."
" We will find a way, okay? We-We will find another way."
" No, man, baby girl. No. No. No, no, no, no. No bringing me back, okay? You know- You know that always ends bad."
" Dean..."
" Okay."
" P-Please."
" I'm fading pretty- I'm fading pretty quick, so... there's a few things that I need you to hear. Come here. Let me look at you." We walked closer to him, I held his face," Yeah, there they are. I'm so proud of you, Sam, Hazel." I started breaking down," You know that? I've always looked up to you. Man, when we were kids, you were so damn smar-smart. You never- You never took any of dad's crap. Hazel, you never took any of mine. I never knew how you did that. And you're both stronger than me. You always have been. Hey, did I ever tell you- did I ever tell you that night that, uh... that I ca- that I came for you when you were at school? You know, when dad hadn't come back from this hunting trip?" Sam nodded,
He said" Yeah, un... uh, the woman in white."
" The woman in white. That's right. I must have stood outside your dorm for hours... because I didn't-I didn't know that- what you would say. I thought you'd tell me to-to get lost or get dead." Tears poured down my face, no, no, no..." And I don't know what I would've done... if I didn't have you. 'Cause I was so scared. I was scared, 'cause when it all came down to it, it was always you and me. It's always been you... and me. And Hazel along the way."
Sam and I said" Then don't leave me. Don't leave me." We started sobbing, I whimpered," I can't do this alone."
" Yes, you can."
" Well, I don't want to."
" Hey. I'm not leaving you. I'm gonna be with you- right here... every day. Every day you're out there and you're li- and you're living and you're fighting, 'cause you- you always keep fighting. You hear me?" I nodded my head," I'll be there every step. I love you two so much. My baby brother. My baby girl. Oh, man. Well, I did not think this would be the day. But it is. It is, and that's- Man... that's okay. I need you to- I need you to promise me. I need you to-to-to tell me... that it's okay." I dropped my head for a second, before looking at him again, my lip shook." I need you to tell me that it's okay."
" No."
" Look at me. Look at me. I need- I need- I need you to tell me that it's okay. I need you to tell me- tell me it's okay." Sam and I grabbed his hand, I whimpered,
" Dean... it's okay. You can go now." Dean put his hand over ours, I laid my head on his shoulder, Sam put his forehead against Dean's.
" Goodbye, Sam. Goodbye, Hazel. Goodbye." His hand dropped, I let out a sob, Sam moved Dean's head to his shoulder.
Sam and I stood in front of Dean's wrapped body in branches, I looked at Sam, holding his hand as he flicked the lighter on. He threw the lighter onto the branches and the whole thing caught flame.
——
Sam and I walked to Dean's room, it was just how he left it, we sat down at the end of his bed. I looked around, my eyes welling with tears, Sam was petting Miracle. Miracle whined,
Sam said" Yeah. Yeah, I know. Yeah, me too." I heard a phone vibrating, I looked at Sam, he stood up and walked to Dean's desk. He opened a drawer and sifted through the phones, then picked one up. I walked to him as he answered it,
He said" Hello?" I leaned into him,
Someone said" Um, hi. Agent Bon Jovi?"
" Uh, this is... Agent Bon Jovi."
" Uh, okay. Well, look. I-I know this is gonna sound nuts, but I'm down in Austin, and we've had a few bodies turn up minus the hearts. Um, and a friend of mine, Donna Hanscum- she said you were the guy to call." Sam stayed silent," Um, Agent.. you there?"
" Yeah, I'm here. I'm on my way.
Sam and I walked up with stairs, with Miracle following, we looked down at the bunker. We walked out the door, Sam shut everything down.
——
Sam met someone, he was settling down, and I'm so happy for him, I smiled as he walked up to me.
He said" You gonna stick around, baby girl?"
I said" I'll be around, all you gotta do is call, and I'll be there in a millisecond... but I've got some cosmic beings I've gotta bug." I hugged him, then held his face," I'm serious, call me, okay? Anytime. Any place. Okay, Sammy?" He nodded, he hugged me, lifting me up, I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck, I sniffled then smiled." I love you, Sammy."
" I love you too, baby girl."
I was in the mountains, I closed my eyes and prayed, I opened my eyes and saw Jack. I smiled and ran to him, hugging him, he wrapped his arms around me tightly.
I said" Hey, Tiger."
He mumbled" Hi, Hazel." His face pressed against my neck, I smiled and squeezed him." Why are we here?" He looked out at the mountain scape,
" This is the exact spot me and Dean stopped at, once upon a time, I fell in love with it. And I guess, I wanted to see this spot one more time. Did you make things right?" He nodded," Good boy, good job." I sighed, held his face in my hands," Told you, you were always good." He smiled, I kissed him, gently, he kissed back, I pulled away, our foreheads together. I sighed," Let's go."
——
I appeared at a bridge, alongside Sammy, we were in Heaven, we saw Dean.
He said" Hey, Sammy. Hey, baby girl."
Sam said" Dean." I smiled,
I said" Hey, bro." We hugged, I smiled widely against their shoulders, I missed them so much. We walked to the rail and looked out, we were together again... that's all that mattered.
The End
