We stopped at a motel yesterday night, so we could get some rest before looking for a new job. I woke up today with a smile on my face.
I was happy that I came clean yesterday with my brothers and told them about my secret. I also showed them my journal and told them about the weird vision drawing things I do. I told them that each drawing is always related to the cases we go on and I promised to show them whenever I did a new drawing. They figured it could probably be a clue that could help us.
They told me that my ghost sensing powers or spidey senses as Dean likes to call them could be used as a good thing-to help people just like back with Andrea and Lucas.
I even told them about how Peter's ghost invaded my dream and turned it into a nightmare. They didn't like that at all. If they could, they would place me in a protective bubble where noting could harm me.
Since that bubble doesn't actually exist their solution was that anytime I sleep even if it's just a nap I'm suppose to be surrounded by a salt circle or in a room with salt lines in front of every window and door.
I yawned while sitting up and seen that Dean was still asleep. I looked around, but didn't see Sam. I got up and found a note on the table it was from Sammy. It said he went out to pick up breakfast and would be back. I smiled while quietly walking over to my backpack and pulling out my journal. I sat down at the table and started to draw something new. When it was finished I realized that It looked like airplane. I don't know why, but I kept writing the numbers 2485 over and over around my drawing of the airplane. I thought it was weird and I planned on showing it to my brothers when Sammy came back.
Then I flipped through my journal and stopped on the page with the words, "Luce spes. Splendens lux in tenebri." from my dream with the voice in the white room. I thought right now is my chance to grab Sammy's laptop and try to find out what it meant. I tipped toed over to Sam's bag and pulled out his laptop. I seen his Stanford sweatshirt and put it on over my pj's, because I was cold. For once I wasn't cold, because of a ghost being around. I was cold, because the room we were staying in had a busted heater. I sat down with Sam's laptop at the table and typed the words into google translate. I was right it was Latin and it meant,"The light of hope. The light shines in the darkness."
I shook my head while wondering what does it mean. I sighed then typed the English translation of the words in search box just to see if anything popped up.
It looked like it was somewhat related to numerous phrases from the bible. I felt more confused and this only made me ask more questions. Maybe it was just a dream and it doesn't mean anything. I could be making a big deal out of nothing. Suddenly I could hear the familiar sound of the Impala's engine and knew that Sammy was back. I quickly turned off his computer and put it back in his bag right before he opened the door. When he entered I was standing in middle of the room with a big smile on my face trying not to look suspicious. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised. Then he pointed at me while saying,"Why are you wearing my sweatshirt?"
"Because it...uhh... looked cozy" I said with a nervous smile.
He tilted his head looking at me like he wasn't convinced with my answer. Then I sighed and said, "What? I was cold Sammy."
"Are you sensing a ghost right now?" Sam said while looking at me with concern.
"No, the heaters busted remember."I said while shaking my head.
"Let me help you with those." I said as I walked over to him, so I could help him carry the bags of food to the table.
"Thanks Ella."Sam while looking at me with smile.
"No prob, Sammy. Did you get my..."
"Chocolate chip pancakes, yes there right here."He said before I could finish what I was saying.
He handed me a bag and I smiled like the freaking Cheshire cat.
"Thank you Sammy, I love you."I said while taking a big bite from the chocolatey goodness.
"I love chocolate." I said with a mouth full of food.
Sam looked at me and laughed while saying,"I know."
Then Dean sat up and looked over at us.
"Morning sunshine." Sam said with a smirk on his face.
"What time is it?" Dean asked Sam.
"It's about five forty five." Sam answered.
"In the morning?" Dean asked in disbelief.
"No, in the evening." I said with a big smile on my face. Dean glared at me and I turned away and stuffed a big piece of pancake in mouth.
"Yep in the morning." Sam said while walking over to Dean.
"Where does the day go?" Dean said while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
The he looked at Sam and asked,"Did you get any sleep last night?"
"Yeah, I grabbed a couple of hours." Sam replied.
"Liar, cause I was up at three and you're watching a George Forman informercial." Dean said with an eye brow raised.
"Hey, what can I say? It's riveting TV." Sam said with a smile on his face.
"Dee, at least now we know what to get Sammy for his birthday." I said while laughing.
Dean looked at me and smiled.
"Just eat your breakfast Ella." Sam said while looking at me.
"Okay." I said with a mouth full of pancake.
"When was the last time you got a good night's sleep?" Dean asked while looking at Sam with a look of concern on his face.
"I don't know, a little while, I guess. It's not a big deal." Sam replied to Dean.
"Yeah, it is." Dean said while looking at Sam.
I stopped eating and looked over at Sam and Dean. I knew exactly what this was about and I was getting worried about Sammy too.
"Look, I appreciate your concern..." Sam said while looking at Dean.
"Oh, I'm not concerned about you. It's your job to keep not only my ass alive, but El's too, all three of us need to watch each others backs, so I need you sharp." Dean said while glaring at Sammy.
Sam looked at Dean and shrugged.
"This is about the nightmares huh?" I said not realizing I said it aloud. My eyes opened wide in shock and I could feel Sam staring at me.
I looked over at him and he didn't look too happy.
I picked up my fork and shoved a big piece of pancake in my mouth and turned away.
"Seriously, are you still having nightmares about Jess?" Dean asked Sam while looking at him.
I started to cough, because of what Dean asked. I grabbed my orange juice out of the bags Sam brought and drank some so I could stop coughing.
"You okay El?"Dean asked while looking at me with an eye brow raised.
"I'm fine." I said while taking another sip from my orange juice. I was not fine at all. There was one little minor detail I didn't tell my brothers about my whole ghost sensing thing. I didn't tell them about how I seen Jess's ghost when she died and that she made me promise her to help her watch over Sammy. I didn't tell them, because I didn't want to re-open an already fresh wound. I could tell that Sammy was still hurting from losing her and I didn't want to add to his pain.
Sam was sitting across from Dean on the other bed and handed him a coffee. It was so quiet in the room.
Then finally Sam broke the silence by saying, "Yeah, but it's not just her. It's everything. I just forgot, you know? This job. Man, it get's to you."
"You can't let it. You can't bring it home like that."Dean said, then he took a sip from his coffee.
"Yeah Sammy, cause if you do it's gonna eat you alive."I said while looking at him.
"So, what? All this it... never keeps the both of you up at night?"Sam asked while looking at Dean and I.
Dean shook his head.
Then Sam looked at me and I shook my head.
"Never? You're both never afraid?" Sam asked looking at us in disbelief.
"Nope." I said with a big smile on my face.
"And you Dean?" Sam asked.
"No, not really." Dean replied.
"Really?" Sam said while walking over to Dean's bed and pulling out a large hunting knife from under his pillow. Then Dean took his knife back.
"That's not fear. That's precaution."Dean said while looking at Sam.
"Yeah, Sammy precaution." I said defending Dean.
Dean looked over at me and smiled while Sam shook his head.
Then Sam raised an eye brow and walked over to where I was sleeping and pulled out my iron knife and container of salt from under my pillow.
"What? It's Precaution Sammy." I said with a smile.
He raised his eye brow and stared at me like he didn't believe me. Then he said, "Ella?"
"Okay fine Sammy, I get scared sometimes. Geez, I'm only human, but I do my best to be brave and not let it get to me. If I did I'd be a nervous wreck all the time and I don't ever want to be one of those girls in a horror movie that's always screaming or crying-That never helps anyone. I rather kick ass and take names." I said with a big smile on my face.
"That's my girl." Dean said with a big grin on his face."
He rolled his eyes and said,"All right, whatever. I'm too tired to argue."
Then Dean's phone rang and he put the phone to his ear and said,"Hello?"
I picked up my journal and walked over to Sam while saying,"It's okay Mr Grumpy. I've got a present for you."
I opened up my journal to my new drawing and handed it to Sam.
"Is this new?" Sam said while looking at my new drawing of an airplane
"Yup did it this morning before you came back." I said while standing next to him.
Then I heard Dean say, "Oh, right, yeah. up in Kittanning, Pennsylvannia, the poltergeist thing. It's not back, is it?"
I walked towards Dean and said,"Not again."
Dean looked at me and told me to shush. I nodded and sat down next to him. I leaned close so I could hear whoever was on the phone.
"No, no. Thank god, no, but it's something else, and... I think it could be a lot worse." A familiar voice said on the other end of the phone. I smiled when I realized who it was.
"It's Jerry!" I yelled with a big grin on my face. I looked at Sam and he looked confused. Then Dean shushed me. I stuck out my tongue and he glared at me. I looked away.
"Is that little Ella?" I heard Jerry say really loud on the other end of the phone.
I yelled,"Hi Jerry!"
"Hi Ella. Listen Dean can we talk in person?" Jerry said.
Dean looked at me then looked at Sammy and said, "Yeah."
Dean hung up the phone and while we ate breakfast Dean filled Sammy in on Jerry and the poltergeist case we went on a while back.
Once Sam and Dean were done getting ready it was my turn. I took a quick shower and got changed, while Dean and Sammy loaded up the car .
Then we all got into the Impala and headed for Jerry.
