My back was pressed firmly against the wall as the taller of the two shielded and protecting me, as the other did what he needed to kill that thing. I could hear him getting thrown around struggling but my face was buried in my hands. I felt the one of the two pull me closer I almost flinched until I heard his soft yet firm voice telling me it was all okay. I felt dizzy.
The whole world was spinning. Monsters. They were real. And this thing. What did they call it? A hellhound? I was out of it until I felt the taller one pick me up. He must have thought I passed out. He carried me out to their car and set me down in the back. I kept still with my eyes closed. It gave me the opportunity to clear my head for a moment
"Are they okay?" one spoke from the driver's seat
"yeah dean. We should take them to a hospital though they look pretty beat up" the other replied
Dean. I'll have to remember that
"yeah yeah"
The car ride was mostly silent until one of the two, I think it was dean, spoke up again
"hey Sam. Why do you think that hellhound went after them?"
Finally, I have both of their names. Sam and dean
"It was a hellhound Dean. I mean they are monsters. They only come around to collect on deals people made on their souls?"
Dean hummed he didn't sound very satisfied with that response
I was getting too frustrated trying to say still. So, I pretended like I was just starting to wake up again. I shifted a little bit in my seat before blinking my eyes open and looking around. Their car was nice. It was well taken care off except for the occasional carving or scratch.
The bigger of the two, Sam, I believe turned back in his seat in the front to look back me.
"you okay?" he asked me with slight concern on his face. Dean only gave me a glance there his mirror silently.
I glanced around a little bit before nodding my head. Sam smiled a little bit
"I'm Sam this is my brother Dean. Were hunters"
Brother. That makes a lot more sense
I nodded again locking eyes with dean for a moment in the rear-view mirror. His eyes told a story even if I didn't know what it was. But beyond that he looks like he was watching for my reaction
"that thing back there that was a hellhound. We hunt those and many things like it. We are taking you to the hospital right now. Do you have anyone you can call to pick you up from there?"
"Sam Dean!"
I didn't have time to reply when suddenly there was a third man in the car. He just kind of appeared there. Out of pure instinct and fear I whipped his way and punched him. He didn't react but my knuckles hurt like I had punched a brick wall.
"uhm sorry...-" Sam paused for a moment "this is Castiel. He's an angel"
My eyes went wide. I swallowed the lump in my throat. I opened my mouth to speak but he, Castiel, stopped me by simply raising his hand.
"no need to apologies. May I?"
He raised two fingers towards my head. I glanced over at Sam and he nodded softly to tell me it was alright. I took a soft breath and nodded. He pressed his two raised fingers to my forehead. In the matter of seconds all my wounds and scrapes were gone. I was good as knew.
I looked at him again and swallowed hard and tried to open my mouth to speak. This time Sam cut me off
These guys and cutting people off
"thanks Cass but we were just about to drop them off at the hospital to see if anyone could pick them up" Sam told the angel sitting next to me
I looked between the two and then out the car window. It was already getting dark it would be pitch black by the time we got there
"I can't go to the hospital" I say softly
"oh, they speak" dean said sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes at comment and look at Sam "just take me to a motel"
Sam looks confused and turns back to look at me again "why not? Don't you have family who you can stay with?"
I look away and swallow softly. I was staying with my aunt before the hellhound showed up. Unfortunately, after it got her it came to get to me. Sam seemed to catch on nodding sadly
"alright. We will take you to the hotel we are staying at. It a couple miles up the road so rest for now" Sam told me
I nodded and made myself comfortable in the back seat.
"Can I speak now?" Castiel asked finally done waiting to be heard by the boys. Dean took a glance back at the angel threw his mirror and sighed "yeah what's up Cass" dean said continuing to focus on the road. I tuned out their conversation and pulled out my phone and ear buds playing my music to help me relax until I got to the hotel
I had eventually just closed my eyes and focused on the music. I tried thinking about how I would manage at the age of 19 alone. I was absorbed into my own thoughts only to be pulled out when someone yanked my ear buds out of my phone. Whole Lotta Love by zeppelin blasted out of my phone earning a smirk from dean.
"were here" dean told me.
I grabbed what I had on me and crawled out of the car. I looked around for a moment. The motel wasn't the nicest, but it would do for now. You start to head to the front desk before a hand stopped you. You looked back expecting Sam the more empathetic of the two brothers but instead turned to see dean
"just wait a minute okay. Let's get you something to eat first. It's the least we can do before letting you off on your own" he told me
I wasn't sure at first, but he insisted. Eventually I agreed to go eat with them. Dean walked me over to their hotel room so they could put their bags down and relax for a moment. I watched them take guns and knives of all kinds off their person. It was shocking to see but it made a lot more sense after today
They put away their fake badges and weapons away then stashed their bags next to their beds to it was easier to then pack up and leave after dinner.
We eventually get back into the car and start heading to the dinner its quiet for a moment until Dean speaks up again
"hey mind telling us your name. I want to know who I'm buying dinner for" he asks me soft giving me a glance threw the rear-view mirror
It wasn't until just now after everything they had done and are doing for me. They didn't even know my name.
"oh, umm its y/n. Just y/n is fine" I told them
"y/n?" Sam questioned
I nodded my head softly to their questions and laughed softly
"Anyways I'm going to get my jam on if you know what I mean y/n" Dean mused and winked at me.
Dean played a tape and zeppelin blasted through the speakers in the car. Sam jumped a little bit and me and Dean laughed. Dean started drumming on the steering weal all we both sang along to the song playing. Sam looked between the two of us and laughed softly too himself. Eventually down the road we pulled into the dinner me and dean singing are lungs out to the end of the song. Sam laughed at us as we got out of the car. We walked into the dinner and found our self's a seat.
We looked over the menu as Sam and Dean talked about the case. Eventually the waitress came to are table
"hello what can I get for ya today"
"I'll have the bacon grilled cattleman burger with a side of fries and a coffee" dean ordered
"I'll have the dinner salad with a coffee as well" Sam added to the order
They both turned to look at me once it was my turn to order. I wasn't sure what to order to I picked something and ordered it
"I'll just have the uhm... muffin chicken sandwich and uhm... coffee?"
I was almost second guessed myself, but the brothers seemed fine with my decision. I relaxed a bit and the waitress left. I slumped back in my seat looking around. Sam and Dean were discussing things about other monsters and cases they have done as well as family. I didn't want to but in so I kind of just kept to myself getting lost in my own thoughts again. Thinking about different strategies I could use in order to keep myself safe. I didn't even think about how I would even have enough money to eat
"y/n?"
I was pulled out of my thoughts when the brothers called to me. I hadn't even realized the food had come. How long was I spaced out for?
"oh, sorry I was just thinking about something." I said softly rubbing the back of my neck
"are you alright?" Sam askes as the starts in on his salad.
"I'm just thinking about the future ya know" I kind of just shrugged it off
Sam and Dean gave each other a look as we all started in on are food. They went back to talking and I focused on how good this muffin chicken sandwich was
"y/n if you don't mind me asking. Why was that hellhound after you today?" Sam asked me after setting down his coffee mug.
I looked over at the taller Winchester the question catching me off guard for a moment. I stopped gorging myself on my food and swallowed what I had in my mouth before attempting to answer
"I'm not sure actually. Though my aunt has been suspicious for about a week and a half before the hellhound showed up. Do you think that maybe had something to do with it?" I answered looking back and forth between the two brothers. They gave each other a knowing look. If it wasn't for the prior knowledge of them being hunters and the fake badges, I would have thought they were real FBI agents
"suspicious how?"
"well, me and my aunt use to be able to talk about anything all the time. Then suddenly she started getting really paranoid, telling me things like 'I did this for us' and other things like that. She always kept a shotgun around her and even started closing herself off in her room. We barley talked. She kept to herself and wouldn't tell me anything" I told them looking again back and forth between the two
brothers trying to pick up in any signals that would help me understand what was going on. I noticed Sam shift in his seat uncomfortably.
"Listen y/n hellhounds are monsters used to collect due on those who sold their soul. We may have reason to believe that the reason that hellhound attacked you is because- "I cut him off
"you think me, or my aunt sold are soul for something" I said bluntly
Sam pressed his lips together as Dean leaned forward in his seat
"yeah. We think it may have been your aunt because you can't be more then 15- "
"I'm 19! I'm just short okay!" I but in crossing my arms
"17 whatever. We think your aunt may have sold her soul for something in return for both of you. An in result it came after both of you" Dean told me bluntly
I sat back in my seat. I mean it makes sense. The realization washed over me, and I looked up at Sam.
"what is it y/n?" Sam asked as I sat up again the thought swirling around in my brain
"Back about maybe 11 or 12 years ago. I was sent into the hospital. I was deathly ill. It was said I that I may not get better. But then suddenly out of nowhere after a day or two I got better. Back to almost perfect condition like nothing happened the doctors said it was a miracle that I even got better at all. They told me I could have died" I said slowly my hands gripping the table
Sam and Dean looked at each other. I was trying my hardest to steady my mind and breathing. Did my aunt sell her soul to save me? Sam placed down the napkin he was holding on the table as did dean as they both started to get up. I looked up between the two before following them my mind still spinning from the realization. We walked back out the dinner and I got back into the car.
Sam and Dean had a quiet conversation outside before they eventually got in the car themselves. Sam looked back at me and gave me a sort of awkward smile before speaking
"y/n. We're going to look after you for a little bit before letting you off on your own alright"
I looked up at him confused for a moment but considered it was probably for the best.
"Where are we going from here?" I asked them
"We have a bunker in Lebanon, Kansas. When we get back to the motel and grab are stuff then head to get your stuff. After that we will head to the bunker. It's going to be a while. So, get comfortable"
I nodded to him and sighed as we headed back to the motel. It didn't take them long to load the trunk with all the stuff they brought before we were back on the road again. Once to my house I raided everything and packed a bag of the things I needed. After that I said goodbye then it was back on the road.
Soft music played through the speakers as the two brothers chatted in the front seats. I sighed and laid back on the seat and closed my eyes. It was going to be a long drive to Kansas.
