"Take not my life's work and make a difference, yet take the struggles that made the difference"
By Amanda Nicole Humphrey
It was just supposed to be another boring Halloween party here at Stanford University .
My girl Jessica was all dressed up in her candy stripe nurse outfit . Ordering food from Micky's bar for me and Jr. A close buddy of mine and ex roommate of two years here . The moon was shining ever so bright and the smell of beer and cigars was strong as ever. Sometimes looking back I can't help but wonder how we never got kicked out of that bar . Seeing as we all were underaged drinkers minues Jr, but hell he looked nineteen . And his dreads didn't help intimated anyone either , more so made him looking even younger .
"So Sam how'd you think you did on that exam?" my strawberry blonde girlfriend asked as she passed two connie's to me.
"Alright I guess" i said while smirking .
"Dude stop with being such a lying ass. " Jr jokingly snapped as he took a swig of his hard whiskey.
"Dude your going to pass out before we even start drinking. " I said as I punched him in the arm.
"Lighten up Sam" Jes said as she leaned over the table to give me a kiss. One I fully enjoyed up until JR splashed water on us. "Get a room you two you guys remind me of my little brother Grover and his girlfriend" Jr complained.
I huffed while pulling Jess closer wiched worked right until the moment my cell phone started to go off.
"Um you going to get that their mosse?" Jr joked .Making me sigh as I reluctantly pulled away from that sinful heavenly kiss.
JEss roaned as she scooted off my lap and back into her seat.
"Hello?" I asked as I flipped my phone open expecting the caller to be some loan shark needing their money sooner than later .
"Sammy where are you?" came a voice I thought i'd never hear again. "Percy? Percy is that you ?" I stuttered into the phone causing Jess and Jr to give me weird looks.
"Yeah its me who do you think it was Dean? " Percy said in a panting voice.
I looked at the others at the table , and making a excuse me gesture making my way outside the bar.
"Percy where are you . I thought Dad and Dean forbid you to ever call me ?"
"Well um you see-" the line went dead for a second making my heart pound knowing that my baby brother whom i hadn't seen since i left home two years ago was probably on a hunt with my father and older brother Dean . Just as I was about to dial the number he'd called from the line picked back up. Saving me the time it would take to scroll for this number he'd called from.
"Percy? where is Dean let me speak to em" I nearly almost shouted . Why was Dean letting our younger brother on a hunting trip . For fuck's sake i knew that i had to learn back then at the age of 7 , but still Percy was a bit dense and not so good at holding his own because of his asthma . We had to protect the kid damn it not let father make a soldier out of em. That was the pact me and dean made on that last hunting trip together when dean was sixteen and i was eleven .
Percy had almost gotten bit by a vamp and turned . If dad hadn't come in just in time a look of pure rage in his green brown eyes . As he beheaded every monster along with uncle Bobby . I recall that day almost every other night when i think of my little brother. Remembering the look of pure fear in his dull gray blue eyes. IT was that day all those years ago that i began to hate our father and what we did. WE sacrificed everything for other only for them to never know how much their lives almost ended. WE alone lost more than our childhood growing up to help other families not go through the life we had.
" I'm with Dad he told me not to call you and Dean , But Sam I'm scared things have been happening bad things and gah - "
"Percy where are you ?" I shouted in the phone probably looking like a crazy person.
"I don't know Dad won't tell me where were going...Sam be careful shit's about to hit the fan i had a dream." Percy whispered .
I vaguely heard a roar of an engine and then my father voice telling percy to get out of the bathroom and get in the car.
"I got to go sam be careful and be nice to Dean please if you see him . Tell him Bad Wolf he'll get it . " and with that he disconnected the line . Looking back i should have left that night not going back into the bar numb like it did. Why did his voice sound scared. I mean HE stayed with dad and dean? Dean was supposed to protect our little brother as was dad. Dad always loved Percy more than the world. But the way he sounded it didn't sit well with me .
"Babe who was that ?" my lovely blonde haired angel asked , while Jr chugged another round of whiskey .
"My baby brother " I said sitting down in the bar stool next to her.
"I never heard you mention a brother Sam" Jr slurred .
"I Have Two " I mumbled all at once.
"YOU HAVE TWO BROTHERS AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT?!" Jess yelled slightly put off .
"Why are you guys so interested anyway its not like it ever mattered ." I muttered .
"Because Sammy it's important ! You always act like you're alone but if you have a few siblings you shouldn't feel so alone. Dude you're like a fricken chick flick on two legs . " Jr slurred before efficiently passing out on the table his face planting on a half eaten plate of enicaldads .
"You know he's right though sam"
"Hey i am manly!"
"I never said you weren't Sam" JEss laughed , "I never said you weren't "
Two days latter...
The days passed by without a random phone calls from my brother. So by the second night I had pegged it down as a drunk hulutionation. A want to know that I was actually missed when deep down I knew that I was not. The day had turned into another blissful monster free night. And deep down I wondered why our father never let his obsession die. Why he never just left well enough alone after years of trying to find the damn demon that had killed my mother . Since apparently the creatures of the night seemed not to mess with me so far since leaving the hunter life. The again I probably should have kept my thoughts of blissful ignorance to myself , rather than plant doubt that course of history would have ever been true.
"You coming to bed hon?" i asked Jess as i passed the sofa . She had her nose in a world history textbook. Completely ignorant of the time passing .
"Yea" she said in a tired voice making me chuckle . Without warning I scooped her up making her squeak in surprise .
"PUT ME DOWN WINCHESTER!" she snapped hitting my chest causing me to laugh harder as i made it to our bedroom.
"You sure you want me to put you down?" I smirked .
"Yes you oaf !" she snapped half awake . Smiling to myself i flopped her on the bed making her snap even more , but i couldn't help but smile at her antics . She was adorable when pissed off and tired.
....
I woke up to the sounds of footsteps coming from the kitchen. AS careful as I could trying not to wake her . Grabbing the spare baseball bat that was propped against our nightstand . I made my way scoping out the intruder. I hadn't made it far when two pair of hands knocked the baseball bat out of my hands . Then shoving me to the wall.My hunter instincs kicked in and I aimed for the inruders throat , yet got intercpeted as he kicked my legs . Causing me to fall , but not before i grabbed the intruders shoulder . Sending both of us tumbling to the ground. We wrestled around on the ground trying to get the upperhand on either one of us. Somewhere in the back of my mind I couldn't shake how familiar the home invader fighting style felt familiar. Almost as if somehow I knew this perp. Our fight ended when I hit my head on the wall. Then The front room light turned on causing both me and the home invader to look up to see Jess shaking her head.
"Sam is there a reason you're wrestling with the intruder rather than calling the cops?" Jess said her eyes tired with sleep.
My focus went back to the perp , but now in the light i could make out the unforgettable dirty blonde hair , and blue green eyes of my oldest brother Dean.
"Sup Sammy long time no see huh?" Dean said smirking while looking in my girls direction, and for a moment i wanted to smack the ass for dare looking . In fact I was about to until Jess's voice rang out in utter confusion .
"Same who is that?" Jess asked confused as to why a stranger would know my name.
"Yes Sammy who is that ?" Dean being the arrogant ass asked . If
Jessica gave him a look like would have killed any werewolf in its tracks. As if almost saying 'really you broke in our house and now you are trying to hit on me in this ungodly hour? Are you wanting a slow painful death with a kitchen utility ?" I almost laughed at the thought .
Dean gulped , but hid it with a smooth coughing gesture .
"Jess this is my oldest brother Dean Winchester . Dean this is Jes my girlfriend ." I said proudly on the last part .
Dean ordinarily whistled in approval . Not that I ever wanted him to approve of any girl I dated. Jess glared at Dean her bright Blue eyes glaring at Dean .
"Not to bust the reniune of I don't know how long it's been since I've seen you last brother. But why are you here ?"
Dean got off the ground as did I . I walked over to where Jess was ; while he stood awkwardly by the kitchen table .
"I came by to tell you something , since you don't answer you phone . But uh she has to leave the room" Dean said eyeing Jess warily .
"No dean " I said using the backbone i'd perfected over the years of being without my family .
"Sammy-"
"ITs Sam and I said no Dean . Whatever compelled you to come over to visit this earlier can be said with Jess in the room too."
Shaking his head Dean looked me straight in my brown eyes. The eyes I got from my father the man who told me to leave and never come back basically . "Dad's been gone for a week I think he's in trouble" Dean said his posture taking on a tired look. Like he was scared , which was something I never seen on my brother.
"So Dad always goes missing he comes back sooner or later " I stated annoyed, though a bad feeling began to set in my bones.
Dean huffed and continued . " He took Percy with him too this time. They went on a hunting trip and haven't been seen for a week."
Whatever smart remark I'd about to say died in my throat. As a foggy memory played in my mind. Bad Wolf? Is this something important .
The imaged of that night flashed faster than I could keep it. LAter I would blame it on the two shots of Whiskey that night that had made me forget .
"Jess can we have a moment?" I asked in a shaky voice .
"I'll go put some coffee on " She mumbled as she left the room.
"What were they hunting?" I said in a deathly calm voice . MY gaze never leaving my older brothers.
Dean was quiet for a while his gaze stuck looking out the window . I knew on some level that he was hurting , but for the first time In a long time I felt anger towards him. He was supposed to be the protector when I could not be . Percy was our younger brother her was as a kid fragile and weak to being born so young.
"What were they hunting?" I asked , while giving Dean a glare with pre-disbelief he'd let dad take our younger brother still.
"The demon what else " Dean said a hunting look in his eyes.
"Why didn't you go with them Dean?" I almost shouted had not remembered that Jess was in the next room making coffee.
"I would if I had it been hunting a pack of wolves that have been following us two states away . Ever since Perce turned fifteen last week these wolves have been following us. Dad suspected them being wolves looking for new "blood" . Up until the just kept pursuing us i stayed behind and kill half the dam pack with Ole Uncle Bobby." Dean said huffing at the end.
"OK so why are you here then if it's just a meetup hunt ?" I asked confused and drained by fretting over nothing, or at least of i hoped it was nothing.
"Because I can't find either of them Samuel !" dan said in a slightly trembling voice. Which was un Dean like on all accounts. He was the soldier the one that never faltered in his battles , or emotions.
"What do you need me for ?" i asked dreading his answer. "I need you to help me find them little brother Dean said in a deadpanned voice, almost as if he hadn't expected that to be my question.
"Dean ..."
"What Sam this is our family we are talking about ?!"
"You forget dad hates me . He made that pretty clear when he said you leave don't' come back ever...remember?" I said my voice wavering .
"Stop being such a chick Sam I need you, Percy needs you . Besides what has this dusty place done for you other than a hot chick" Dean said looking agitated.
I should have argued a lot , but deep down I knew the only thing it had done was given me more confidence around my girlfriend . And made me a lot smarter than I was . However, i'm sure if I had made that comment my brother and I would be having more than a friendly scuffle on the floor. Which probably wasn't the best thing to do, since I was a little rusty on my fighting .
"Fine , but Dean-" I started but was cut off by my older brothers overly excited voice.
"Yes thank you little Brother . You dont know how long its been since i've hunted with -"
"Dean I need to be back by monday , which is in two days for my final exam it's the deciding factor in this full paid scholarship thing." I said annoyed that all ready he forgot that i was never going to go back to the "Family business".
"Again with the school life ?" Dean whined in an oh so unmanly voice .
"Do you want my help in finding them or not?" I asked aggravated . Lack of sleep and not done coffee will do that to anyone.
"Yeah we leave out in forty five minutes." Dean said going all serious.
"Dean!" I whined trying to now think of some plausible excuse to tell my girlfriend.
"What ?" Dean asked confused. I groaned knowing he wouldn't get that I now had to lie and it was a bad thing to do to my love. Thought of Dean ever thinking lying to a woman he'd ever love was kind of funny since he wasn't one for the long term commitment .
"What am I supposed to tell Jess?"
"You're the smart one how the hell am I supposed to know?" Dean snapped going to the kitchen most likely to snag my last beer . I made a mental note to kill him if he did.
"How long are you going to be gone again?" Jess asked her face scrunched up in confusion.
"Not long three days tops . I'll be fine you known ." I reassured her as i gave her a kiss goodbye.
"Yeah , but you better not be late for that exam ." She said trying to hold back a sigh.
"Trust me Jess I wont. " I said making my way to Dean's 67 Impala .
"Be careful Sam !" Jess called out . Turning around one last time looking at her blue eyes. She looked scared for some reason , but at the time I had thought nothing of it . However looking back I should have just stayed with her.
"I will I shouted blowing her one last kiss. She of course shook her head at the display but smiled none the less.
"You such a chick flick Sam." Dean said as he started the engine.
For the first five hours into the drive we drove in silence . Only listening to Dean's weird music taste. By the tenths hour in I was tempted to end my suffering to his obsession with old school rock n roll music. The ever horrendous beats were giving me an utter headache. One can only take so much Black Sabbath for so long before he too wants to kill someone. We had rolled into a small town as the day begun to break. And for once in a long time I witnessed the sunrise in the passenger seat net to my brother.
"So where are we heading Dean ?" I asked with a yawn stretching my ever aching arms . Unfortunately I wounded up hurting my arms when i hit my elbow on the dash .
"Wow" Dean yawned trying to hide how exhausted he was too. "I didn't think your curiosity would last that long.Figured you'd break like ten minutes in good job little bro for proven me wrong." Dean said in a joking manner.
"Dude really enough with the little bro crack i'm taller than you ass." I shot back playfully while making a point . While I was the middle brother , and Dean was the Oldest out of two of us. I was a good six-foot to Deans five -nine . Believe it or not I was fully enjoying it too some never believed he was older growing up because i was taller than both my siblings . Percy however last time I saw him was the shortest being four-nine almost five foot.
"Yeah well I'm the oldest so suck it up ." Dean said smugly , while I laughed at his smugness.
"And you're proud of that " I chipped in knowing full well he wasn't going to get the joke.
"Yeah why wouldn't I ?" Dean yawed as he pulled the car into a cheap looking hotel with a dinosaur on its sign.
"You're proud that you're old." I laughed out causing Dean to crise his brows then proceeded to slug my arm.
"Shut it Bitch." Dean snapped
"Jerk!" I shot back with a smile.
The next day...
You know when you wake up in the morning with a splitting headache , and no fresh pot of coffee to sooth it your day is going to be helliouse. Alas no amount of caffeine latter on will relieve you of the ever stressful day you're about to endure. IF you have had one of those day I feel very bad for you and glad at the same time that, there is someone out there who knows of my pain. Even if it's wrong to be glad about something like that . However let's multiply the agony when you brother who can't sing worth a crud wakes you up singing an old Kansas song in an off key tone. Making you wish you'd slept with your pistol , or baseball bat . Though not that you'd kill him, but that thought would be the only thing that helps you cope with the craptastical day ahead of you.
Yes, just the sheer wake up call like that made me realise I missed my droom like house . I missed My girlfriend and her snuggable self. But more importantly I missed the fresh coffee that was brewed to relieve the dreadful headaches of just waking up .
"Morin sleeping beauty "
"Jerk "
"Bitch "
"Ass"
"Whole" I muttered
Dean ruefully laughed while throwing a wallet at me .
"What is this supposed to be?" I asked confused as to why he'd throw a black looking wallet at me . "Aren't we suppose to be doing research in finding Percy and Dad?"
"WE are however unlike as when we were kids . " Dean got up going to the closet grabbing two black monkey suits that looked expensive as hell. "Pretending to be famliy of the lost sorts to gank and kill the evil in this world isn't as easy as it used to be. Uncle Bobby kinda made a hotline for us hunters and bam the FBI hunter was born." Dean said in a sarcastic manner.
"Do what?"
"Just put the damn suit on little bro i'll explain on the way to the sight i last left dad with Perce." Dean mutter annoyed for some reason.
"And you call me a chick flick " I mumbled thinking my brother was bipolar .
It took me five minutes to change into the monkey suit. Along with another fifthteen in trying to find my brother who finally came into the motel room with what looked like freaking pie. If I had not been aggravated at his abrupt departure I would have asked for a piece of his dam pie.
"Well?" I asked aggravated at the total lack of accomplishment we made in the search for the rest of our small family.
"Well what Sammy?" Dean asked throwing Dad's journal on the floor aggravated.
"What type of pack did you say was dad was hunting maybe that's the clue in finding them." I groaned out.
"A dead one I told you I killed most of em." Dean scoffed not seeing the importance of the question .
"But the question was why were they stalking you guys . Normal Wares don't stalk humans . Unless we have something that they want." I pondered out loud.
" I was wondering that too?" Dean said grabbing another beer from the motels mini fridge. Making me wonder how he could put up with so much alcohol in his system . "Since they didn't want our insides too much on really Sam you don't think me and dad didn't think of that . You think way too much into things like Percy does . " Dean said offhandedly. Making me cringe at the thought of our little brother who along with our dad could be dead or dying. While we bickered back and forth accomplishing nothing but banter .
"Well what am I supposed to think !" I shouted we had wasted half a day over the notes left by dad's journal we'd confiscated from a hobo wandering the alleys near the motel. Almost as if it was planned to be found in the grimey hands of the stranger. Least to say the hobo had turned out to be a stray mutt , who smelled way too much like blood and sweat. Dean not thinking at the time went full kill mode surprising the monster killing it instantly with a stab to the monster's back. Killing it with a hint of mercy as its death seemed painless enough.
Just thinking of my brother recklessness cost us a boost of information on where our Dad and brother could be. However, now our only lead was dead because Dean had forgotten to think before going in straight for the kill. Bow we were back to square one with absolutely no leads to go on. Dean at some point went from the the table he was trying to read notes from to the front door. Throwing his now empty bottle of beer in the trash on the way out. I would have wondered where he might be heading , alas I knew my brother well enough to know that he would head to the local bar , and clear his head he drink his sorrows away . I didn't blame him on wanting a break. Yet, a part of me knew if I was to join Dean to the bar nothing would get accomplished and we'd have two days left before I had to head back home for my exam. And more than likely a bar fight between either us or some damn sucker who would approach us for being too loud.
Either way we we're running short on time and leads. IT was somewhere between four am and five in the morning when we got our first lead and headache on this hunt came through. Dean had at some time made his way back to the motel after i had passed out. Unaware of his eventful return or the drunken state he was in. Which looking back on my part might have been the best outcome. Dean tend to be brutally honest when drunk something he and our father had in common.
I had been sleeping soundly until a loud bang erupted from the front door. Causing Both me and Dean to jump out of a heavy sleep. As fast , as lighting Dean grabbed his colt 45 from under his pillow . Which under different circumstances i would have questioned his sanity and health . But then again we were hunters and this situation was either going to turn out either life or death . Hopefully the first since I really didn't feel like dying today.
Dean looked at me throwing his spare hunting knife on my bed. Giving me the look that basically said brace yourself . Inching off our beds we slowly made our way to the front door. The baning contuied at a louder level to the point I thought the hinges were going to pop off. With the speed of years of training , along with the constant hunting of the supernatural. Dean whipped the door open gun raised to shooting position at the intruder. Only to fall short at the sight that was for sore eyes. A man with graying military cut hair and a fishing cap on his head stood in the doorway. His dull gray eyes with hints of green making him look wiser than the rest of the world stood looking at us in a mix between frustration and disbelief . His blue jeans were muddy along with his shirt. If I'd not known better I would have thought the man had a scuffle with some poor sap. However I like my brother knew this man he was like our second father .
"Well are you two idjits going to let me in or are you going to stare at my dirty ass like you have seen a ghost?"
"Uncle Bobby?" I stated in plane dumbness.
"Yes ? Who were you expecting a pack of raving leaches or a demon. You know what never mind you most likely were." Bobby stated in a annoyed tone.
Dean looked at me with one of his old expression that I instantly knew what he was thinking.
"Oh come on Dean really the Test?"
" Your brother right can never be sure Sam besides we go through this everytime we haven't seen each other for awhile . " Bobby said in a bored tone like he was talking to a child. Which technically I was still a dam minor . Walking over the salt line Dean made when we first got here. Meaning he's passed the first test of not being dead.
A couple hours later Dean and bobby were drinking and laughing causing me to be on the breaking point. We'd been searching the town earlier on any leads on to men matching our father's and little brothers description. Only to be lead back to this motel with the same idea. They had run off after the wolves attacked. Only leaving the journal behind something that still bothered me.
Where they in too much of a hurry?
Did they leave it for us to make a connection...
Why take our little brother the one he babyed ?
The journal is always the key he never leaves his logs.
What am I missing Dammit?!
Dad never left anywhere without his manual on how to kill the dark creatures that plagued this world. Meaning their retreat was much more than a cowardly retreat. As seeing as I only had one more day until I had to make that nineteen hour drive back to stanford . I finally snapped irritated at the twos loud conversation that had nothing to do with getting us anywhere closer to our missing family.
"We have to missing somthing other then the were case and then the abrupt disappearance !" I snapped running a hand through my hair.
" Your father called me a month before this case said to find you boys . I assumed you little troublesome brother would be with you two idjits not that your dad would take the kid with him."Bobby said a bit worried at the end. As if he knew something we didn't .
"What do you mean Bobby?" I asked confused at the new info .
Dean chose this moment to look away his eyes casted out to the forest the loomed out the motel's cheap window.As if trying to hide from what was being said in front of him. Like he was ashamed of what was to come..
"When was the last time you have talked to your little brother Sam? " Bobby asked his eyebrows raised.
"That's not fair-" I tried
"Life isn't fair kid you should know that! When was the last time you talked to any of us. " Bobby started off huffing as if getting to a point .
For a moment I tried to speak but I couldn't find any words that would stop the guilt of leaving this family behind . Even if for me it was the best decision on my entire life. A decision that cost me everything and brought new meaning to my life.
"You father took you departure the hardest Samuel. But the worst outcome was Percy that boy began to get more rebellious. John would tell the kid to stay put , like he'd do to you. If it wasn't for me the kid be dead half the times your father went on a hunt . Dean knows he was a bad mix between you two. Percy was too dam loyal to a fault , yet by god the kid is headstrong. John though your father changed on this last hunt . Called me up saying look after the boys and to find you guys. However , i'm worried your father finally got a lead on that that damn demon that kill y'er mother and my sister. " bobby huffed slightly choked up at the end. "I can't believe he took your brother though dumbass is gonna get the two of them killed."
"What about bad wolf?" I asked off headly as, a foggy imaged came to the forefront of my brain.
Dean shout up from his chair like he'd heard a ghost wail. "What DID YOU JUST SAY?" Dean asked panicked.
"Bad Wolf ?" I repeated trying to remember why that words sounded important.
"Sam where did you hear that word from answer me!" Dean practically yelled his face draining of color. Uncle Bobby was holding Dean back as the he struggled to get to me.
I'm with Dad he told me not to call you and Dean , But Sam I'm scared things have been happening bad things and gah - "
"Percy where are you ?" I shouted in the phone probably looking like a crazy person.
"I don't know Dad won't tell me where were going...Sam be careful shit's about to hit the fan i had a dream." Percy whispered .
I vaguely heard a roar of an engine and then my father voice telling percy to get out of the bathroom and get in the car.
"I got to go sam be careful and be nice to Dean please if you see him . Tell him i Bad Wolf he'll get it . " and with that he disconnected the line .
"Percy he called me around halloween . I was drunk off my ass I forgot all about that . Shit Shit Shit!" I yelled pulling at my hair in frustration. How could I have forgotten something so important!
At this point Dean looked a cross between lived and excited if possible. His face was getting red and under different times I probably would have told him to watch his blood pressure.
"You forgot !"
"Dean Winchester CALM YOUR ASS DOWN!" Uncle Bobby snapped irritated to the point to was nearly scary.
"What does that mean?" I asked confused as to why this one word meant so much to tick my oldest brother off so much.
"When on hunts..." Dean took a calming breath . " Percy was into Doctor Who kid was crazy about this show after you left. HE declared we use code names and words when just us two somthing I still blame Joe for . " Dean huffed at the last part trying to calm down .
"Bad Wolf was just one of the many for of the code words for he used , but only when things were about to get serious and danger was on its way.
Reallusion was starting to hit me as I thought back to how scared Percy had sounded. And I had forgot about it like my little brother was some impossible memory something even a drunken memory was worth suppressing.
"You know the last time he used that word the wolves had surrounded the hideout and i barely made it there in time dad was fighting off as many as he could, but -"
"But what ?" I asked a bit worried .
"That last hunt Percy got injured Sam . He was knocked out and bleeding bad I thought he was going to die. If I hadn't gotten them always they would have . Bad Wolf is the last resort code word . And if he told you Bad wolf then shit is about to go down and now you have to head back to that school of yours-"
"Dont start-"
"Why not you're just going to leave again, and this time when we need you the most!"
"Dean_"
"Don't Dean me Sammuel you know I'm right!" Dean yelled .
Shaking my head I made my way to my bed grabbing my suitcase . Placing all the clothing i had took from my house I started packing. No longer caring what my older brother said. "I'm leaving Dean this time ..
Don't come after me you're just like father." I said trying not to stumbled on my words as I choked up from the guilt and pressure .
The drive home was a long one made in utter tense silence. Bobby had gone back to his small home about eight hours from stanford In his rusty red pickup truck. Which unfortunately meant that i had to ride with my brother who kept trying to make small conversation. He stopped halfway through the ride as if sensing this was going to be a long ride. We made it to mine and Jess's home right around sunrise and for a monet a sense of dread filled me as my insides turned cold as ice.
"Sam-"
"Dean look i am sorry okay. Look I can keep an eye open on my end look up leads on my spare time , but i can leave Jessica she is my word and i love our little brother so i will try from a distance to get some leads ." I said in a sober tone. No longer wanting to argue with him about his issues with me staying here .
"Sam be careful ok?" Dean said as he started to pulled the Impala away down the road.
"You to big bro." I said to the wind as I made my way into the house.
The first thing that set me off when I entered the house was how quiet it was. This instantly put me on edge. Jess loved her music and coffee no matter what time it was . The cloths were all in baskets meaning she had started the laundry , yet she had not finished it? That by itself also begun to made me worry .
"Jess! Are you here?" I called out as I made my way throughout the house . All i got as a response was the eerie silence "Honey , Jessica!?" I repeated in desperation as i noticed red splotches on the floor near our bedroom. Causing me to run into our room. I should have been more prepared for what I would find. As I had grown up seeing this kind of thing as a kid. However, see it and then having it impact you loved ones was a whole different level. I made my way to our bed seeing a pool of red liquid that i knew was blood line our white sheets . Frantically i looked for a body that caused this mess, that is until i felt something wet drip on my forehead. Ever so slowly i looked up and fell to the ground in horror.
My love was suspended on the ceiling by an unnatural force. Her eyes frozen in fear wide open . Her skin layered in cuts that oozed pus and blood. Her once beautiful golden hair was no longer straighten but in tangles as it too was pinned to the ceiling matted with blood and black goo. I don't remember much as an un-natural blue fire began to come out from her body as it waiting for me to find her like this rather than a charred mess. I remember screaming her name fruitlessly as tears fell from my eyes. I was vaguely aware of it getting hard to breath or the fact that i was losing oxygen by the second.
AS i was about to lose consciousness i was barely aware of two stronger arm than mine grabbing me scooping me up hauling me away from the flame filled room. Passing out for the amount of stress and loss i endured i woke up later in Dean's Impala to see my brother looking worried at me. I knew then that i was never going to be able to go back to that school . That once more i was to join the call to hunt the things that went bump in the night.
But this time I had a reason ....
This time I had a want to find the things and kill them... Like father always said it was in our blood . To kill things , hunt things the family business.
Only this time it was personal ....
