About a year ago I was just sitting at home in my room, listening to my mom drink her life away in her room. Before I can continue I should tell you some things about me. My name is Taylor, im a 15 year old girl, I have an IQ of 160 so im pretty much a genius. I graduated high school at the age of 10 and was recruited as a junior FBI agent. Yea their doing that now. Anyways, I spent a lot of my time at home. I usually spent it with my step dad. Until he suddenly disappeared. Maybe one of the most tragic moments of my life. I never knew my real dad. My mom refuses to talk about him. Im what you call a "one night stand baby". Its never really bothered me that I never knew my dad because my step dad has been around for as long as I could remember. That's why it hurt so bad when I found out he was gone. And it hurt more when I found out why he was gone. Now enough about me, lets move on to how I got to the court room.
As I was saying, it was a typical day (sadly) and I was reading my book when the door bell rang. I figured that my mom was too distracted to hear it so I got up to answer it. As I walked past my moms room I heard music and my moms talking to her friend Betty on the phone, she was drunk. It wasn't even noon. I shook my head. The doorbell rang again so I jogged downstairs to answer it. I wasn't expecting what I saw next. When I opened the door I saw my step dad standing there.
He looked at me with his bright blue eyes and the coat he always wore. I turned numb. I couldn't feel anything. I didn't believe what I was seeing. I stared at him and he stared back. I didn't even notice the two men standing behind him. He smirked at me and said "hello Taylor, good to see you again"
We sat in the living room. I still hadn't said anything. I didn't know what to say. Cas (that's my stepdads name) sat on the couch across from me. One of the men sat in the chair diagonal from me, His name was Sam, the other sat next to cas, His name was Dean. I looked at them. Sam was tall, REALLY tall like 6'5. He had long hair (which needed to be cut badly) and he had puppy dog like eyes, he looked like the kind of guy who would be sensitive. Dean on the other hand, I couldn't quite figure him out. He saw me looking at him, I think I made him uncomfortable. He seemed like the kind of guy who would punch you in the face if you were even the slightest bit rude to him. It was weird but I feel like I know them, or at least Dean. Cas finally pipped up
"your probably wondering what were doing here"
"well yea sorta!"
"I see your still upset with me"
"do you blame me?! Cas you just got up and left one day! no note, no call, no nothing! Im way beyond upset! I thought you were dead! and so did mom! she has been drinking every day since the moment we saw you were gone! she sleeps in one of your old t-shirts every single night! sometimes I hear her sobs!"
ok the crying part I made up but the T-shirt part was true
"Cas I am WAY beyond upset! I am downright pissed off!"
"is that language really necessary"
I was speechless. He was being so calm! I looked at Sam and Dean. When they saw me looking at them they looked taken back, afraid almost, like I was about to yell at them too. I looked at Sam. He looked down.
"oh calm down pretty boy im not gonna yell at you"
Dean laughed at that. I looked at him. He stopped immediately
"whats so funny..." how could I make fun of him?
"what im not good enough for a nickname?"
he had a really deep voice. If you were to hear this voice threaten you, you would most likely start running for your life. He kinda scared me. My legs started to feel jelly. I felt awkward. My skin prickled and my cheeks turned red. He must have saw my reaction to him talking because he looked really guilty
"sorry, didn't mean to scare you" He smirked at me. He had a smile that made me feel like everything was going to be ok. I smiled back. Sam stood up
"Look we didn't mean to barge in on you or scare you but we need your help"
I turned to look at him
"my help why do you need my help? what can I do?"
"well for starters you can give me that book I left here"
I turned to look at Cas. Book? what the hell was he talking about? He must have seen my confusion because he looked at me in the eyes and said
"I left a book in my safety box, along with some things that will explain everything. I need you to get them for me"
He got up and took a pocket out of his key and handed it to me
"its in your mothers room"
I looked at the key and then looked at him. I didn't understand
"please"
I looked at the key again then decided to go open the safe, I needed some answers. I went upstairs and listened through the door. Mom was still on the phone, I figured that I could slip in the room un noticed then go into the closet. I opened the door slightly, saw she had her back to me, and slipped into the room and went into the walk in closet. I shut the door quietly behind me. I saw that mom hadn't touched Cas' things. I looked around and found the safe in the first place I looked. I pushed away some coats and then knelt in front of the safe. I put the key in the key hole and it was a perfect fit. I tuned it to the right and the door opened. There was only a few things in it. A feather and a few odd objects and a couple of books. Which book did he want? I didn't have a lot of time so I grabbed all the books and closed the safe door. I slipped out the door of the bedroom just in time. I went back downstairs and found them in deep conversation. they stopped when they saw me. Sam walked over to me to take the books. I took a step back
"why are these books so important?"
"they aren't that important" Sam said
"if he came back for them they have to be" I pointed at Cas. He was looking down.
"that wasn't the only reason I came back"
we all turned to look at him. Obviously Sam and Dean didn't know the other reason
"I also came back for you" He looked at me. I looked at him, then Dean and then Sam. I had to look up at Sam. Damn was he ever tall. im 5'7, im not short! hes freakishly tall. He looked down at me. He gave me a look that said I don't know whats going on. I walked into the living room and sat down. Cas got up and walked toward me to get the books. I help them tighter.
"not until you explain what the hell is going on"
Cas looked at me for a minute, then walked to the other side of the room and sat down again. I was about to speak when all of a sudden someone was sreaming at me
"Taylor! What the hells going on down there?!" it was my mom.
"damn it!" I said. Cas gave me a look. I shot one right back "she should be passed out by now. Now she decides to become sober!" I looked at Sam, Dean and Cas "you guys have to get out of here before…" but I was too late, My mom was coming down the stairs
"Taylor didn't you hear me calling you?!" she was yelling "what the hell is…" she stopped. I thought it was because she saw Cas but now im not even sure she noticed him at first
"Dean?" she said "Dean Winchester?"
I spun around and looked at him. Everyone was looking at him. He was staring at my mom
"Sherri" he said. His voice was quite "I haven't seen you in… im not sure how long"
"its been too long" she said. She was smiling. I hadn't seen her smile in a very long time. I was looking at her, then dean, then her again. We were all quiet until finally I said
"you two know each other?"
My mom all of a sudden looked very embarrassed
"what is it mom?" I was sort of concerned. Even though I hated her guts
"um..uh..umm" she was looking around the room "Dean" she looked up at Dean "can I see you in the kitchen for a minute?"
We were silent. Dean just looked at her for a minute. He seemed confused
"uh sure" he said. They walked into the kitchen. Me, Sam and Cas just stood there for a minute. I walked over to Cas and stood beside him
"did you…" I started to say but he cut me off. He obviously knew what I was going to say
"no" he said. He sounded just as confused as me. I looked at Sam. I walked over to him. He looked shocked that I was standing that close to him
"did you know that they knew each other?" I asked
"he said he hooked up with someone in this town when he was 19" he said "but I didn't think it would be your mom and Cas's ex"
We looked at the kitchen door for a second. I had to know what they were saying. I shoved the books into Sam's arms. I think I knocked the wind out of him. I stood behind the door. I couldn't hear much. Pushed the door open slightly my mom hadn't started talking yet. Good, I hadn't missed anything
"Sherri what's wrong?" it was Dean
My mom finally spoke
"Dean, remember the weekend we spent about 15 years ago?"
"yea…." Dean said "I mean I don't remember too much but I remember you"
"well" my mom began to say. She stopped. She was hesitating. Then she all of a sudden went way off track "you've met Taylor right?" damn it mom! Get to the point
"yea I have" Dean said. He seemed to be thinking the same thing I was "she seems like a great kid"
"yea she is" my mom said. She wasn't looking at Dean "shes also yours"
Dean didn't say anything for a minute. Then he said
"are you sure?"
"yea im sure" she said "I took the test five days after our weekend together and I hadn't slept with anyone after that weekend"
I didn't expect Dean to say what he said next
"why didn't you call me? You had my number"
"I know" she said "I was scared that you would just" she stopped
"just what" he said
"run faster" she blurted out. She finally looked up at him
He looked dumb founded. He looked at her. He looked stunned. I was too. I knew my real dad. My real dad. Wow. Then I heard my name
"Taylor?" it was my mom "is that you"
Oh crap. Ive been seen. I decided it was easier to just come out. I pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen. Closing the door behind me. I stared at them.
"um" I said "hi" I wasn't sure what else to say
"Taylor" my mom began to say "meet.."
I cut her off
"my real dad" I said. My voice was harsh "yea I heard" I looked at Dean. He looked back. Neither of us knew what to say "why did you lie to me mom? You always said my real dad died in a hunting accident before I was born!"
Dean looked at her. She looked down at her feet
"Taylor im…." My mom started to say but I cut her off again
"I don't want to hear your lies anymore" I looked at her "im done"
I must have hit a nerve because she looked up at me with her angry eyes. The eyes I knew all too well. I guess she was still buzzed
"what the hell do you mean your done?!" her voice was loud. I had unleashed the monster. I stepped back. I looked over at Dean. I must have had the look that said "help!" because he stepped in
"Sherri calm down" he grabbed her shoulder but she pushed him off. I decided to do what I always do when she yells, tune out. I watched my mother's mouth move in an angry fashion (if that makes sense), I looked at the expression on her face. Man was she ever pissed at me. I heard the words "disappointment" "worthless" piece of crap". I felt tears coming to my eyes. I looked over to Dean. He looked horrified. He also looked pissed off. I all of a sudden heard the door open behind me. I turned around and saw Sam and Cas behind me. Cas was not happy. I decided to tune back in. Cas walked over to my mom
"Sherri, we have talked about this" he said. He was trying to remain calm
"Yea we did" she said "when you were still around" her voice was harsh but you could tell she was going to cry
"you know why I did what I did" he said
"Yea to 'protect us'" she said using quote fingers "we both know that's a load of crap!"
"Its true" he said. His voice was stern. She started yelling at him, then me, then him. I tuned out again. I looked down. My childhood was coming flashing before my eyes. I started to cry I couldn't help it. Sam out his hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him. He gave me a look that said everything was going to be ok. I looked down. Then someone was standing in front of me. He crouched beside me
"lets go into the living room" he said
I nodded. My mom and Cas didnt see us slip out of the room. We walked to the living room. Tears were streaming down my face. I thought this chapter of my life had passed. I sat down on the couch and looked at my knees. Dean sat down beside me. It was his turn to put his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him
"are you going to be ok?" he asked. He seemed genuinely concerned for me. I looked at the kitchen door and listened to the yelling voices
"eventually" I sighed "once she sobers up we'll just go back to not talking unless she needs something or decides to yell at me for no reason" I wiped the tears away "the usual"
Dean looked at Sam. I think they had a telepathic conversation or something because Dean said
"do you want to hang with us for a while?"
I looked at him again. Should I go with people I just met? Even if one of them was my dad. I studied him for a minute. He wanted me out of there. I could tell
"yea" I said "that'd be nice" I looked at the kitchen door "what about Cas"
Dean looked at the door "he'll find us"
We all got up. I grabbed a sweater as we headed out the door. Sam was writing a note for Cas and was going to leave it on the coffee table. As I stepped outside I looked out to the gravel driveway and saw the most beautiful car I have ever seen in my life. I stopped dead. Dean turned to look at me
"you ok?" he asked
"if that a 1967 Chevy Impala?!" I turned to look at Dean
"yah it is" a smile came across his face. I think I made his day
"is that your car? Please tell me that's your car" I said
"yup" he said "that's my car"
We stood there for a minute. He turned and looked at me and saw the smile on my face
"you want to ride shotgun?" he asked. At that moment Sam walked through the door
"dude!" he said
Dean turned and looked at him
"I think you can give up shotgun for one day" he said putting his hand on my shoulder. He looked down at me "and besides, don't you think the kid could use some happiness in her life right now?"
Sam looked down at me. I looked up at him and flashed a smile that said "please!"
"fine" he said, giving in
We walked to the car. Dean got into the driver's side and I climbed into the passenger's side. This was the car of my dreams and my birth father drove it! My wildest dreams were coming true. I couldn't help but sit back and sigh
"Dean its kind of hot" I said "you mind if I open a window?"
"yea it is pretty hot isn't it" he said "go ahead, open a window"
I rolled down my window and we started driving. I took my brownish/blonde hair out of the ponytail it was in. The summer breeze blew through my hair. It felt great. I couldn't stop smiling. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dean look over at me and smile. I don't know how long we drove for but I all I know is it was dark when we pulled into an empty patch in a forest. I hadn't even noticed we were in a forest. I looked at Dean
"I thought id show you our favorite spot in all of Iowa" he said
We all got out of the car. Sam got a cooler out from the trunk. He handed Dean a beer and found a root beer for me. I sat on the hood of the car. I wasn't sure why the guys liked this spot until I looked up. It was a clear night so all the stars were out. It was beautiful. The only good thing about Iowa. I lied down. Dean sat beside me.
"pretty isn't it?" he asked
"yea it is" I replied "can I tell you something Dean?"
"sure go ahead" he said
"this" I said "this is the best day ive had in…years"
He looked at me
"seriously?" he said
"yea" I said "these past few years haven't been easy for me"
"yea" he said "I know what that's like"
"you know" I said taking a sip of my root beer. It fizzed on my lips "for some guy I just met, you're a pretty good guy"
"thanks" he said "you're a pretty cool kid"
"im not at all surprised that you two are related " said Sam
Both me and Dean looked at him
"oh come on" he said turning to look at us "your both in love with cars"
"so?" I said sitting up "lots of people love classic cars"
"ok" Sam said, fully turning around at this point "Taylor, whats your favorite kind of music"
"well" I said thinking "I like classic rock"
Sam gave Dean a 'I told you so' look
"some of the new stuff dosent suck too much" I added
"ok" said Dean "so far two things"
"favorite food?" Sam asked me
"I pretty much like anything that come off the Bar-B-Que" I said "oh I love pie too. Well I love all deserts but man I love pie"
Both Sam and Dean looked at me in astonishment
"what?" I said "im not aloud to like those things?"
"see" Sam said "she even has the same attitude as you"
"you saying I have a attitude?" I asked Sam
"well yea" he replied, as if it was obvious
"you might want to watch what you say" I said to Sam warningly "I can kick your ass any day"
Sam laughed. I looked up at Dean, he was chuckling but stopped immediately when he met my gaze.
"im not sure if Cas told you" I said standing up "but im a junior FBI agent and I have basic training by the feds"
"no way" Dean said "not possible"
I whipped out the badge that I kept on me any time I went out at night. The boys examined it, There eyes popped out of their heads when they saw that it was real
"I still don't think you could kick my ass" Sam said
"oh yea?" I said, putting down my root beer bottle "prove it. Fight me"
The boys looked at each other then me
"im not fighting you" Sam said
"what you scared?" I said. I somehow got joy from mocking my new found uncle
"no" he said. I think I was getting to him. He sounded irritated
"well whats the worst that can happen" I said
"I could hurt you" he said
"if you're afraid of hurting me" I said "I'll tell you"
Sam looked at me funny
"if you start to hurt me, I'll yell stop" I said "deal?"
"your not going to stop until I give in are you" he said
"nope" I said proudly
Sam looked to Dean and sighed
"fine" he said. He got up. We walked a few feet away from the car and stood not too far from each other.
"ready?" I asked
"ready" he said
He barely even moved before I grabbed his arm, twisted it, brought it behind his back, knocked out his knees bringing him to the ground
"had enough?" I asked
"yea" he said "please let go of my arm now"
I let go of his arm and helped him up. He was rubbing his arm
"you almost broke it" he said. He almost talked in a whisper
"now you know not to piss me off" I said
I turned and went back to the car. I sat next to Dean and picked up my root beer. I looked at him and smiled. He had a goofy smile on his face
"what?" I asked, laughing a bit
"I never thought that I would find out that I had a 15 year old daughter, then be incredibly proud and impressed, all in the same night
"your" I stumbled on his words "your proud of me"
"hell yea!" he said "I couldn't fight like that at 15!"
I smiled the biggest smile I've ever smiled. Dean noticed the smile
"What Cas never said he was proud of you" he asked.
I didn't have to day anything. My expression said it all
"I knew he was an ass but I didn't know he was heartless" he said taking a sip of his beer
"I always said the same thing" I said quietly "but I'm done with him now. He's just a figment of my past. A horrible past, but a past"
I think Dean really felt sorry for me. He didn't need to say anything because his expression said it all. I don't think he knew what to say at first. I didn't either. Then my eyes burned. I felt a tear streamed down my face. I think Dean saw it because he put his arm around my shoulders. Usually I thought it would have been weird but I needed to know someone was there for me.
"thank you for the amazing day Dean" I said, wiping away tears
"any time" he said
For a while we just sat there. I realized that Sam had yet to come back to the car and was lying on the ground. I got up and walked over to him and sat next to him.
"you ok?" I asked "I didn't hurt you did i?"
"no" he said laughing "im fine. I like looking at the stars this way. There so pretty"
I hadn't realized that Dean had walked up behind me
"are you high?" he asked
Me and Sam started laughing.
"well I hate to break this up but we should probably get her home"
We turned around and saw Cas. I stood up. So did Sam.
"how did…"I started to say, looking around for a car or something
"not important" he said "its late we should get you home"
"as much as I hate to agree with Cas" I said "your probably right"
We started walking to the car when I stopped. They all turned to look at me
"im not going anywhere until someone explains whats happening" I said "you guys have yet to tell me why you're here and why those books are so important"
They all looked at each other. Cas was about to tell me no, I could tell by his face, when Dean piped up
"its only fair" he said "shes been through a lot. You said it yourself Cas, she can help us"
"shes just a kid" he said
"a kid who deserves to know why she is the way she is" Sam added "that's what I always wanted"
I didn't know what was happening. Know why I am the way I am? What was he talking about? I was so confused. Cas looked at them
"fine" he gave in "but you guys have to tell her"
And then he disappeared out of thin air
"what the hell?!" I said "how….wait….huh?!"
The guys looked at each other
"this could take a while" said Dean
He was right. We were there for at least an hour. Talking about demons, spirits, something called a leviathan, purgatory, hell and heaven, angels, monsters. Everything I thought was fake was real. They explained that they were "hunters" and killed all these monsters and have saved the world too many times to count. I was stunned. Im not sure why but I believed it all. After an hour and a half they stopped talking
"so do you thin were insane?" Dean asked
"for some weird reason" I said "no"
They looked at me like I was crazy. I think I might be
"that's a new one" Sam said "usually people call us insane"
"yea well" I said "I always knew something was different about me. Like a piece was missing. I think im meant to be a hunter. Ive always been very violent" I grinned
"come here" Dean said "I want to show you something" he motioned towards the trunk
I followed him to the back of the car. He popped open the trunk. It looked like a normal trunk but then I saw it was tilted. I lifted it. I saw guns, knives, all sorts of weapons. Really nice ones at that!
"im impressed" I said "these are really nice. Not to mention, hard to find"
"tell me about it" He said smiling. He reached in the trunk, took out a nice gun and handed it to me. I looked at him
"lets practice your shot" he said
It was great. First he taught he how to load a gun, un load and then load again. Then Sam found a big piece of bark for me to shoot at. They took a can of spray paint and made a target. Dean showed me how to angle it
"its gonna have a bit of a kick to it but I think you can handle it" Dean said
I aimed at the target and pulled the trigger. I got right in the middle of the target. I shot again. In the middle again. I took a few more shots and each one was in the middle. Dean and Sam were speechless
"your definitely my kid" Dean said
We decided it was best for me to go home. It was close to midnight. The whole car ride back I asked questions about their jobs. They were more than happy to answer them
"I have one last question" I said
"shoot" said Sam
"why are you guys here?" I said looking at him
"well" Dean said "remember those demons we told you about? Well theres a lot of them here and they are killing a lot of people. So were here to stop it"
"so there the ones kidnapping those people?" I said "they kidnapped my friend Kelly"
"oh im so sorry" Dean said
"its ok" I said "we hadn't talked in years. I just want to make sure she's ok"
"we'll save her" Sam said "its what we do"
"thanks" I said
We rode in silence. We arrived at my house shortly. All the lights were off and my moms car was gone. I sighed in relief
"oh thank god" I said "she's gone out. If I lucky, I wont see her in a week"
"what?" Sam asked in confusion
"I have a irresponsible mother" I said chuckling "but I like the alone time"
Dean pulled up close to the door. We don't really have a driveway, we have a gravel road. I opened the door and was about to get out when I felt a hand on my shoulder
"call us if things get out of hand when your mom gets home" Dean said
"Dean" I started to say
"promise me" he said "that if what happened today, starts happening, you'll call, text, anything. Just let us know. Do we have a deal?"
I nodded "I promise"
He took his hand off my shoulder and I got out of the car. I walked to the front door. I turned around and saw Sam getting into the front seat. I laughed a bit. I could get used to them. I waved good bye. They waved back.
"finally" I said to myself "someone cares about me"
I walked into the house. Everything was dark and creepy. No sign of mom. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. There wasn't much. I grabbed some sandwich meat, mustard and mayo. I walked to the bread box. Only 2 pieces left. I guess I have to go the store tomorrow. I made myself a sandwich and poured myself the last of the Kool aid. I walked into the living room and memories of the day I had washed over me. I decided against watching tv. Theres never anything good on at midnight. I walked towards the stairs and stopped as I passed the door. Im not sure why but I turned on the outside lights and started up the stairs when again I stopped. I looked at the kitchen. I remembered what Dean and Sam told me. I walked back to the kitchen and grabbed the container of table salt. I went back to the stairs and went to my room. I closed the door and walked to my window. I poured the salt across the windowsill then set it down on my beside table. I sat on my bed and ate my sandwich. Everything was quiet. I didn't like it. I turned on the tv I had in my room. I flipped through the channels until I saw there was a Friends marathon going on all night. For once there was something good on. I watched tv for over an hour and was half asleep when I heard the sound of a car. I panicked. It was too new of a car. I got up and ran to the window. Men were getting out of the car. Big men. I looked closely. There eyes were black. Dean said that demons had black eyes. I ran for my cell phone and called Dean. The phone rang twice until he finally picked up. I think I woke him up
"what" he said
"Dean" I said, my voice was shaking "the men with the black eyes. The demons. There here"
I think that woke him up
"Demons aare there?" he said "are you sure"
"I saw the black eyes myself" I said "I'm tough but I cant fight off all of them! Theres like 5 of them!"
"stay calm and put salt on all the entrances" He said "were on our way. Stay calm"
"how?!" I said "there trying to break in!"
Then all of a sudden they broke down the door
"dean they broke down the door" I said, I was on the verge of tears "im really scared"
"I know" he said. He was trying to sound calm "just do the salt and hide under your bed. We'll be there soon. We will stay on the phone with you the whole time"
"ok" I said
I pressed the speaker phone button and put the phone on the bed. I grabbed the salt and started to pour a line in front of the door when I heard footsteps coming towards my room. I poured fast but not fast enough. A man opened my door. He looked at me with his black eyes.
"hi" I said casually
"hi" he said sarcastically
"can I help you?" I said maybe too casually. I think either Dean or Sam chuckled because I heard faint laughter
"you usually this nice to kidnappers?" he asked
"oh you think your going to kidnap me?" I said "that's cute" I smiled at him
I must have pissed him off because he went to grab my shoulder but I stopped him by grabbing his fore arm. I then punched him square in the nose, grabbed him by the hair and smashed his face into my knee, pulled him up and kicked him in the stomach. I closed the door and poured salt across the door. I ran to the window and opened it.
'make it looked like I crawled out the window' I thought 'I am a genius'
I crawled under my bed and clasped the phone in my hand.
"are you guys still there?" I whispered
"yea im here" Sam said "where are you?"
"in Narnia!" I whispered "im under my bed idiot! Where are you guys?!"
"were coming" Sam said "just stay calm"
"im trying" I said
Then the door was knocked down and the salt line was broken
'crap' I thought
"they knocked down the door!" I whispered into the phone
"don't worry you can take them" Dean said. He had taken the phone. The demons stopped looking. I had left the phone on speaker phone. Now im really screwed.
"uh dean" I said
"yea" he said
"I left the phone on speaker phone"
"what?" he said
"I think they know where I am" I said.
They walked towards my bed. Yup, I thought, im dead. Someone was standing beside my bead.
"dean hurry please!" I pleaded. I realized I had tears streaming down my face. They kneeled beside me. They lifted the sheets and looked at me in the face. I hit him in the face with the phone and then sacked him. He went back a few feet. He looked like he was about to vomit from pain. I shot up frm under the bed. I sprayed salt on them. Their skin started to burn. I sprinted down the stairs and out the door and started to run down the street. We were the only house on the street for miles so there we no neighbours to get help from. I decided my best bet was to run so I did. I ran for a while. I had the phone in my hands. I heard the car driving behind me so I jumped into the forest to my left. It was really dark but what else was I to do. I put my phone up to my ear
"dean?" I said
"yea im here are you ok?" he said "they have the roads blocked off"
"im in a forest" I said "I have some time"
"ok" he said "run until you see a line of cars. When you see them run for a little while until you see my car. Be careful"
"all right" I said
I did what dean told me to do. I ran for about 5 minutes straight when u saw a barricade of cars. That's what dean warned me about, I thought. I saw the corner that they were around. I crept past the line of demons. I turned around. Ive gone unnoticed!
"yes!" I said
I said that out loud didn't i? I thought. They were looking in my direction. Time to run. I turned around to run and saw a figure staring at me
"you really thought you could get away from us huh?" the figure said
I couldn't see but I know it was a man so I sacked him. As he fell to the ground I ran
"Dean" I said, panting
"what just happened" he said
"I just sacked a demon" I said
"good one" he said
"can you congratulate me later!" I said "im close to you guys. Im going to move to the road. Look for me"
"ok" he said "but don't hang up on me yet"
"ok" I said
I jumped over a ditch and ran onto the road. I saw dim headlights. It was them. I slowed down a bit. I was about to turn the corner when someone grabbed my elbow. I spun around and was face to face with our county sheriff with black eyes. I had to beat up our towns sheriff! Cool, he hated me. I punched him in the face but nothing to bad happened. I pulled my elbow away and kicked him. He fell to the ground. I ran towards the car. Dean and Sam were getting out of the car. Dean pulled me behind him. I watched Sam pull the sheriff up and stab him. He flashed this yellow light.
"cool" I mumbled
Then someone covered my mouth and dragged me away. I bit his hand
"DEAN!" I screamed "SAM!"
He covered my mouth again and dragged me away. Once we were far enough away, someone hit me over the head and everything went black.
When I woke up I was on the ground. I had a handcuff on my right wrist. The other cuff was cuffed to a heater
"awesome" I said under my breath
Suddenly the door opened. The demons I beat up walked in. The sheriff was the first one I saw
"well howdy sheriff" I said mockingly
"shut up" he said. Then he slapped me
"wow I thought you were tough" I said "the best you can do s slap me? I get that from my mom on a daily basis!"
They just looked at me. They didn't know what to do with themselves
"just tell us about the tablet" demanded one of the demons
"the what now?" I asked
"the tablet" said the other demon
"I only know of those stupid iPad things" I said "that what your talking about?"-
"no the angel tablet!" yelled the sheriff
"oh the one Dean told me about?" I asked
"yea" the third one said, he sounded frustrated
"oh I know nothing about that" I said
"don't lie to us!" the sheriff yelled
"im not I swear" I said "they just told me it was important. Im not lying"
They looked at each other then turned back to me
"stay there" one of them said and they all walked away
I sat there in a small little room handcuffed to a heater. I sat there for about an hour, thinking. Im dead when I get home. I looked around the room. It looks like a room from an old Victorian style house. The walls were moldy and so were the hard wood floor. This was getting annoying. When they get back, they're going to kill me, I know it. I jerked my wrist. It was not coming off. I needed that key, badly. I looked for an escape. If I do manage to break free, how can I get out of here un noticed. There was the one door and a window next to me. I can sneak out that window. Im used to sneaking out of windows, I do it all the time, the nights my mom isn't wasted. I had an escape route but no way of getting out of these stupid handcuffs. I scanned the room again. I couldn't see anything that would be used as a key. That's when I noticed a nail coming out of the floor. I reached forward. I could just reach it. I started to pull it out of the floor. It was not coming out easy. I heard footsteps, I stopped and sat back the way I was before. Someone started to open the door but decided against it and walked away. I thought it was strange and waited until I heard them go back downstairs. Then I started it again. It took about ten minutes but then it finally came out. I jimmied the nail in the key hole. It just fit, but it wasn't working. I sat there for maybe 20 minutes and nothing was working. Then I heard someone coming up the stairs. I tried taking the nail out of the key hole but it was stuck. The steps were getting closer and I started to panic. Then the door opened. Im dead! I thought, but I was wrong. When the door opened I saw Sam's face. I was relived. He rushed over to me
"are you ok?" he asked
"peachy" I said, feeling the dried blood on my head
"you tried to break free?" he asked, looking at the nail sticking out of the handcuffs
"well would you really want to be stuck in here" I said
"I guess not" he said chuckling
He yanked out the nail and picked the lock with a really cool gadget. He helped me up. I stumbled a bit. My head hurt, a lot.
"you ok? He asked
"ill be ok" I said "im just a bit dizzy"
"here" he said, putting my arm around his shoulders "ill help you"
"thanks" I said
We walked out to the hall. The house was in terrible shape. We slowly and carefully walked down the stairs.
"wait" I asked "what about the demons?"
Dean walked around the corner "taken care of" he had that same knife in his hand. He smirked. When he saw the condition is was in, he didn't seem to happy. He rushed over and looked at my head.
"you'll be ok" he said "maybe a concussion"
I nodded. I was relieved. Dean put my other arm around his shoulder. We walked out the front door and to their car. Dean put me in the front seat so he could keep an eye on me. They drove me to the hospital to get me checked out. We were there for about half an hour. The doctor said I had a concussion and should take it easy for a few weeks. Then they drove me home. They offered to take me to dinner but I said I wanted to go home and try to figure out what happened. When I got home I saw my mom's car was still gone. I sighed slightly. I didn't want to deal with my mom just yet. They parked close to the front door. I got out of the car. They got out too.
"I don't need help anymore" I said "im not dizzy"
"we know" Sam said "were just concerned"
"im fine. Really" I said, giving him a reassuring look
"good" he said
We stood there for a minute
"well I should probably go in now" I said
"I'll walk you in" Dean said
"bye Sam" I said, waving "thanks"
He smiled at me and waved back. Dean walked me into the living room. I looked at him
"shes going to kill me when she figures out that I was with you" I said
"yea" he said "im not sure she wants anything to do with me" he paused "but why would she be mad at you?"
"well know that you've met me" I said, sitting down "I know that shes going to get a restraining order so you can never see me again and I know that she wants me to never see you again"
He was silent. I looked down at my feet
"I don't feel that way though" I said
He looked at me for a minute. He came and sat down "that means a lot"
"why?" I asked looking at him "why does that mean a lot to you?"
"because" he said "not a lot of people want to be around me" he chuckled
"yea I know the feeling" I said grinning
"I just don't know if it's the best thing for you to be around me" he said quietly
"what do you mean" I asked
"you were just kidnaped by demons" he said "an hour after you finished hanging with me and Sam. That's not a good sign"
"Dean" I said "they were after me anyways. They were looking for me"
He cut me off "and we got you found" he looked at the floor
"that's not what I was going to say" I corrected him "I was going to say that yea it sucked to be kidnaped but when I was hanging out with you guys, I was never happier"
He smiled "thank you. I was worried you didn't like us"
I couldn't help but laugh "I think this is the concussion talking but I hope I can see you again"
He looked confused
"dean I know that your leaving" I said "like you said yesterday, you don't stay in one place too long. Im not going to kid myself, why would you change all your life because of me"
"well why cant i?" he asked
"you could" I said "but I wont let you"
"I don't understand" he said
"I may be your daughter" I said "but im not letting you stop doing what you love and not to mention something your great at"
"I can be a hunter here too" he said
"no you cant" I said "don't kid yourself"
"yea I guess your right" he said "I guess that's something I have to get used to"
I smiled. We sat in silence. I stood up
"im going to go lie down" I said
Dean stood up "yea that's a good idea. Ill check on you later"
"you don't have to do that" I said
"I know I don't have to" he said "but I want to"
I smiled "alright"
I turned and went upstairs. I heard him leave after I got up the stairs. I didn't turn around. It was hard to look at him. He wasn't coming back. I knew it. I should have said goodbye but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I went into my room and walked to the window. I watched them get in the car. Dean looked up at me and smiled. I grinned but then my eyes started to burn. I turned away. I listened to the sound of that beautiful car drive away. I shed a quick tear. I barely knew them but when I heard that car pull out of the driveway, I feel like someone stabbed me in the heart. I lay down on my bed and turned on the tv. I didn't watch it, I just needed to be distracted. About an hour later I dozed off. I dreamt that I was in the impala with Dean and Sam. We were driving, laughing too. Then I was woken up by the sound of the door slamming. Mom was home. I looked at the time. It was almost five o'clock. I decided it was time to get up. I walked downstairs. There she was, sitting on the couch drinking out of a Jack Daniels bottle
"hey" I said "where have you been"
"I was going to ask you the same thing" she said, voice tense
I looked down "I was with Dean and Sam" I was quiet
"what?" my mom angry. Dammit, I thought
"they were getting me out of an intense situation" I said "it felt good to have someone give a damn about me"
That's what set her off. If I was smart I would have never even said anything, but even having such a high IQ, im not that smart. She started yelling, telling me to stay away from them, said there would be a world of hurt if I contacted them again. Then he got much closer. She was really angry. I don't totally remember what she said but all I remember is her slapping me. I lost my balance and fell into the wall. It wasn't bad but I cut my lip. Mom was all apologetic but I just turned and ran up to the bathroom. I put some toilet paper on it. It wasn't too major. I looked in the mirror. Why was I letting this happen? I was letting her ruin my life. I walked to my bedroom and grabbed my green canvas backpack. I grabbed my wallet, my phone and a jacket. I opened the window and crawled out. I closed the window behind me and walked along the roof. I walked to the back side and jumped onto the shed, then jumped from there I climbed down the ladder I always kept propped up along side the shed. I went around to the front of the front of the house and ran down the driveway and along the road. The town isn't a far run from the house but I only ran until I was out of sight. When I got to town I decided to go get something to eat. I walked down to the local fast food place. When I walked into the parking lot I saw the impala. I considered turning around but then I realized I had nowhere else to go. I walked inside and saw them sitting at a table. Dean had his back to me. Sam saw me almost immediately.
"Taylor?" he said
Dean spun around. I smiled and walked over to them
"what are you doing here?" Dean asked
"I got hungry and mom was passed out" I said, hoping it was believable
Dean and Sam looked at me curiously
"whys your lip bleeding?" Dean asked
"what?" I touched my lip "oh that"
"yea that" he said. His voice was stern "what happened?"
"nothing" I said, hoping he was gullible
He looked at me with a serious face "we had a deal"
"I know" I said. I looked at him "nothing happened. I swear"
Dean either believed me or didn't bother trying to get me to tell the truth
"Do you want something to eat" Sam asked, obviously trying to change the subject
"yea I am pretty hungry" I said standing "ill be right back"
I got up and went to the counter. They were talking, I could hear them. I wasn't sure what they were saying exactly but I had a feeling they were debating whether or not to send me home. I only had enough money to buy a simple burger and the smallest drink they had. It only took about 5 minutes to get my food. I went and sat with Sam and Dean
"is that all your eating" Dean asked
"Dean not everyone likes to pig out on junk food like you do" Sam said
"she's my kid" Dean said "its in her blood"
He wasn't wrong. I loved to eat and I was starving. I just didn't have enough money, but I wasn't about to tell them that
"no this is fine" I said "really"
I started eating. I tried to eat slow so they wouldn't notice that I could eat way more than this. We talked for a while. Laughed some more too. I finished eating in around five minutes. It was a nice dinner.
"I guess I should head home" I said standing up "its going to be dark soon"
"we can give you a ride back" Dean said standing up with me
"no its ok" I said "its not a far walk"
"but there could still be demons" Sam said
"and if I run into any" I said "ill call you. I can take care of myself"
They looked at each other, then back at me
"ok" Dean said "we'll see you later"
I smiled and walked away. I still couldn't bring myself to say goodbye. Why did I walk in there? That's the last time I will probably ever see them. It broke my heart but like my mom always said "even when times are tough, you just have to smile, and keep going". It was hard but I had to. I grabbed my ear buds and plugged them into my phone. I played "Carry on my wayward son" by Kansas. I put it on replay. I lost track of time. I barely even noticed it when I got home. I walked inside and found my mom. She was waiting for me. When I walked past the living room she stood
"you were with Dean weren't you" she said
"well I went to…"
"you were with him weren't you?!" she raised her voice
"yea" I said "I had dinner with him and Sam"
"I thought I told you never to see him again!"
"can you blame me for wanting to get to know my real dad!" I said "you know the one you neglected to tell me about!"
"don't raise your voice at me!" she yelled, a tear streaming down her face "I raised you! Why are you so ungrateful!"
"you think what you did could be considered raising me?! You made my life a living hell!" I started yelling "you did drugs and drank in front of me! When I was four years old! That's my first memory mom! Then you have me lie to Cas about it! Did you honestly think that was setting a good example for me! And look at you now! Your stoned out of your mind! Do you know hoe screwed up I am?! Im a freaking mess! Im sorry that I disobeyed you but I just wanted a little bit of normal! Ok so I didn't get that with Dean but at least he gave a damn about me! Something you've never done!"
My mom looked furious. She was crying too. Now im really in for it. She didn't say anything to me at first. She walked over to me and looked at me. She was close. Too close. I tried to back up but she grabbed the front of my shirt and pulled me closer. I tried to pull away but she wouldn't let me move
"listen" she said "im your mother and you will respect me! I may not be mother of the year but I put a roof over your head. Be lucky I don't throw you out on the streets"
She smelled liked cocaine but that wasn't going to stop me "I would rather live on the streets"
I didn't expect what came next. A tear ran down her ace but she looked angry. She wond up her fist and punched me. She released me. Realizing what she had done. I crumbled to my knees. It hurt like hell. I looked up at her. She looked at me. I don't think she knew what to say. She grabbed her purse and keys and booked it out the door. I heard her car pull out of the driveway and drive away. I got up and grabbed an ice pack out of the freezer. I walked out to the porch and sat on the steps. I held the ice up to my sore eye. It was painful to touch but the ice felt good.
I sat out on the porch. I stared at the stars. The stars have always amazed me. Im not sure why but they do. I felt a small, warm breeze. I love those summer breezes. I brought my knees up to my chest. The steps I sat on creaked. I loved in an old farmhouse with my mom. I had just recently met my birth father. Actually I met him today. Turns out he was friends with my step dad who left me a few years back. This had to be the craziest day I have ever had. I heard a car pulling up in the gravel driveway. The head lights blinded me. I turned my head away. Then the lights shut off. I rubbed my eyes. Someone got out of the car and walked towards me. I could finally see again. It was Dean.
"hey" I said "what are you doing here"
He sat down next to me
"I feel like we got off to a bad start so I came to see if you were ok"
I looked down at my phone
"you came to see me at 10 o'clock at night?"
"haha well yea I guess I didn't really think that one through huh?"
"haha no not really" I said, laughing
We sat there for a few minutes. Looking at the stars
"this is nice" he said. Turning to look at me
"yea it is" I said.
I wasn't lying. It was nice
"im doing ok by the way" I looked at him
"good!" he said "good" he looked forward. I studied him for a minute. He looked at me. He seemed confused
"what?" he said. I started laughing. Now he looked confused "whats so funny?"
"you" I said "your life"
"gee thanks" he said with a smirk
"no I don't mean it like that. This whole life of yours! I don't know. Ive had a very strange day. First my step dad shows up with my real dad and my uncle, then I find out these things called demons want to capture me, then im captured by demons, then I find out I can kill 4 demons single handidly" I finally took a second to breath. I looked at Dean "I could really use a laugh right now"
"yea" he said chuckling "I know the feeling"
We were silent for a little while. I'm not too sure how long. Then I said
"you didn't come here to check on me did you? You came to say good bye"
He didn't say anything. He didn't even look at me
"I knew it was too good to be true" I said. I Started to get up when he said
"at first I came to say goody bye but" he stopped. I turned sat and looked at him. His usually tough, masculine face seemed, sad
"but what?" I said
"but" he said "as I sat down next to you and we started talking, I realized that I like having you around. And I cant leave you here with your mother" he turned and looked at my house "and I don't think I could live with myself knowing I had a kick ass daughter like you living in this dump with a mother who obviously abuses her"
I spun and looked at him
"how…" I began to say, but Dean cut me off
"taylor you may have an IQ of 156 but I have fatherly instincts that I just found out about" he turned to me and smiled "and you cant just show up in town with a bleeding lip and say nothing happened. And just because its dark, dosent mean I cant see your small black eye" he touched my left eye
"its not a black eye" I said quietly "its just swollen and sore
"I don't care" he said. His voice got stern "your mother hit you when you told her that you were with me didn't she"
I nodded
"well then your going to get a but whopping because your coming on the road with me and Sam"
"come again" I said
He laughed "well im not leaving you with psycho bitch here! And demons are after you, sam and I are the only ones on the world who can protect you" he smiled "besides, I kinda like having you around. You remind me a lot of me"
I looked at him "is that necessarily a good thing?" I asked. We both started laughing. He gave me a little push. We sat there for a little bit longer, looking at the stars
"so me and Sam leave a 10 tomorrow morning" he said, looking at me "you in?"
"yea" I said smiling "im in"
The next morning I woke up around 7. I had told my mom late last night that I was leaving. Dean was there to make sure nothing happened. She threw quite the fit. She threw a vase at Dean and one at me. She stormed out. Again. After that I went to bed. I had a lot of packing to do. I walked over to my closet. I was surprised how many clothes I had. I used my green backpack for my clothes and my big cross body bag for other things. I grabbed a medium sized plastic bag for my shoes. It only took my about an hour to pack. I went and showered, packed my toiletries, did my makeup, packed it and watched tv. I grabbed a few small things that I really liked. At almost ten o'clock on the dot, I heard the car pull up. I looked out the window and smiled. That's my home now, I thought, awesome. I grabbed my stuff and went downstairs. I hadn't realized that my mom came home. I guess my music was too loud. When I saw her I stopped dead in my tracks. She was looking at me. Her arms were crossed. She seemed sad
"You don't have to do this" she said "I can change. I really will this time"
I chuckled "ive heard that one before. I cant do this anymore mom"
"we can get past this" she said "this is just a rough patch"
I pointed to my eye "we cant get past this"
I walked past her. I turned around when I got to the door
"bye mom" and then I opened the door. I closed it behind me. I walked down the steps towards Sam and Dean. I pulled a lollipop out of my bag, took off the rapper and suck the lollipop. Sam looked at me with a smirk and took my bags
"really? A lollipop?" he asked "what are you? A five year old?"
I gave him the best death stare I have
"I like lollipops. Don't mock the lollipops" I said, my voice was stern
Dean was laughing in the background. Sam nervously turned to put my stuff in the trunk. I walked over to Dean
"you are you want to do this?" he asked
I looked at him and smiled "yea" I said
"good!" he said "nothings worse than not being ready"
I looked at him curiously. He seemed nervous. He caught on to my suspicion
"sorry ive never really been a dad before" he said "im nervous"
"just relax" I said "you've been doing a better job than Cas ever did"
"I resent that"
I spun around and saw Cas standing there. I still wasn't used to him coming out of nowhere
"what are you doing here" I asked. My voice was harsher than I intended
"im here to make sure your ready for this" he said "its not an easy life"
"you think the life im leaving was an easy life?!" I said, my voice getting louder. I took a step towards him but Dean grabbed my back pack and pulled me back. I almost fell over. I looked up at him
"let me handle this" he said
He walked to Cas
"do you not trust me?" he asked
"Dean you know I trust you" Cas said
"but do you trust me to take care of Taylor" He said, his voice slightly harsh. It made me feel tense.
Cas looked at Dean with his bright blue eyes. He was silent. I could tell from Deans body language that he was not happy. Then Cas finally spoke
"Its not that I don't trust you" he said "its that I don't think your ready for this much responsibility"
Dean got pissed
"what do you mean im ready for this responsibility?!" he said "I pretty much raised Sam and he turned out ok! If I can kill mosters on a daily basis, I think I can handle a 15 year old girl"
"not at a certain time of the month" Cas mumbled
I looked at him "Cas?!" I said "what the hell?! You don't talk about that stuff!"
"oh" he said "my bad"
I was speechless. I saw Sam chuckling
"what you laughing at chuckles?!" I said. He stopped laughing immediately.
"look Cas" Dean was trying to change the subject "I can handle this"
I gave him a look
"sorry" he said "I can handle Taylor"
"thank you" I murmured
"fine" Cas said "taylor, if you ever need me, just pray to me"
"are you really still trying to make me into that good christian girl?" I said, crossing my arms
"just do it" he said. Then he was gone
I sighed. Dean looked at me with a concerned face. I looked at him and grinned. He opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off
"ill be fine" I said "im better now that he's gone"
"how did you know what I was going to say?" he asked
"you still underestimate my high IQ I see" I said laughing "can we go now?"
"yea sure" Dean said
Dean walked to the drivers side. Sam started to walk to the front when I called out
"shotgun!"
"no" he said. He looked at Dean
"it is the rules" he said
I smiled at him and climbed into the front seat. He stood there for a few seconds, dumbfounded
"im guessing he's always in the front seat" I asked Dean
"pretty much ever since my dad gave me baby" he said, smiling at his car
"baby?" I asked, trying to hold back laughter "you named your car?!"
"He pointed a finger at me "don't mock the car"
"I wasn't mocking the car" I said "I was mocking the name of the car. There's a difference"
Dean looked like he was going to retaliate but couldn't find the words
"you know im right" I said
"its true" Sam said from the back
Dean sort of just looked at us. He finally turned around and started the car. I high fived Sam
"I got your back" he said
"and I got yours" I said
Dean chuckled and said "you done with your chick flick moment?"
"your hysterical" I said
"you had to get it somewhere" he said, smiling at me
Then we pulled out of the driveway. Little did I know that these would be the best, and action packed, years of my life
