Summary: Dean's past comes back to haunt him…in a way he didn't exactly expect.
Chapter One: The Night it all Began
Easton, Missouri 9:30 pm
"Car-o-line….oh Caroline where are you?" An unearthly voice echoed throughout a creaky old house. Against a wall holding her breath with tears pouring down her face, tensed a pretty early twenties girl.
Wavy brown hair framed the oval face, with her scared brown eyes darting around nervously. She heard a noise to her side; she whirled around to look down the hall, catching a flash of something. She turned and ran into the other room, pressing her back into the wall.
She inched toward the door, and then she hesitantly peeked out. She saw nothing, breathing a sigh of relief she rests her head on the wall. A deep chuckle makes her look into the room. He is there, with that murderous look upon the face she once worshipped. A scream escapes her mouth before she can stop it.
"There's no one to save you…I have you know, just like all the others." He spat out as he leveled the gun towards her.
"Oh, you hurt my feelings when you forget about me." Dean called from the doorway, the spirit glanced at him. Giving Dean all the time he needed to pull the trigger on the handgun. Blasting the angry phantom back, so Dean could grab Caroline's hand propelling her out of the room.
Now both of them raced away from something neither could define, a shot was fired barely missing either, hitting the wall in front of them. Caroline gave a distressed gasp; Dean merely pulled her into room closet to him.
Meanwhile…..
John Winchester was a state away in a graveyard, throwing a match on a pile of bones, watching grimly as they went up into a scorching mass of red, orange, and blue. The ashes spreading as the wind picked them up distributing the remains of Robert L. Thomas. Hoping this was the end of another horror story.
Then…
Dean holding Caroline's hand tightly had moved away from the door watching it intently. Never noticing the figure materializing behind them, Robert forcefully hit Dean on the back of the head with the butt of his gun. He went sprawling to the floor unconscious his grip on Caroline's hand causing her to fall out of surprise. She hastily turned to face her brother but she was snarled in Dean's body and she couldn't stand. Trapped by Dean's body she could only look up into her brother's face and accept her fate.
"You thought you could run…" He was suddenly engulfed in flames; he walked towards his sister, grabbing her by the collar he pulled her up. Her feet dangling in the air as she unexpectedly came face to face with her brother that she had once cherished.
"This isn't the end….it will never be. I will not rest until I have destroyed you and your family." He whispered to her, she whimpered softly in response. He threw her to the ground before he became consumed in flames. Evaporating in the air making it seem as if he'd never been there.
Caroline knew better, she lay upon the ground stunned staring at the spot that had once held the hellish apparition. Dean groaned and she rushed to his side, rubbing her back that she'd been thrown on. She picked his head off the ground and cradled it gently, stroking his hair softly.
Dean came to eventually, he looked up to see Caroline worryingly looking down at him. He forced his cocky grin to reassure her but she only raised him a eyebrow showing she knew better.
"Is he gone?" Dean asked as he tried to sit up only to groan as his vision went swimming. Caroline scooted up behind him and rested a hand on his back while she laid her head down on his back.
"Yes, he was surrounded by flames and then…he was gone….I can't believe he was so intent on killing me…." She swallowed the lump in her throat, forcing the tears to not come she wouldn't cry anymore.
"Hey." Dean cupped her face and gave her a serious look. "We already went over this; it's not your fault. It's the way that your brother died that brought him back. He unfairly blames his family." She gave him a weak smile; he was struck again by her beauty. He brought his lips down to hers. Soon the light kiss turned into something heavy, she accidentally grabbed his hair on the back of his head causing him to wince.
"Why don't we get you some aspirin?" Caroline suggested; Dean tried to shrug her off, standing up so fast that he was knocked to his feet.
"On second thought…" He mused out loud as he sat up rubbing his head, Caroline only laughed as she walked out of the room.
When he could he stood and followed the noises to the bathroom, at the sight of her he stopped to stare. She was in some old fashioned nightgown that flowed to the floor thin straps held up the gown but it seemed to be missing the fabric in the front cause it didn't really cover up her chest.
He coughed at the sight of her, the sound making her reel around to him. She saw him almost dying out of relief. The tension poured from her as she sagged on the wall. She weakly handed him the aspirin, he watched her from the corner of his eyes.
"You're pretty tense even though I told you that he's gone for good." He commented wryly. She gave him an exasperated sigh and pushed off the wall moving to sit on the counter. Her nightgown rising to stop before her knees; Dean exhaled for a long time.
"Well if someone wasn't sneaking up on me I'd be fine….but I was wondering if you would stay the night…since mom's at auntie's…" She trailed off not finishing with "your dad's out of town." But even if that hadn't been the case Dean would have stayed with her. Then she added the nightgown…he didn't need much persuasion.
"Of course I will…I'll always be here when you need me." He told her softly. Silently adding he'd only be there for her supernatural needs. He moved in front of her and kissed her softly turned into her hands obscured in his hair, his hands on her thighs under her nightgown. She pulled back; shy suddenly.
"Dean…I'm…" She sputtered as her face turned crimson in shame. One of his hands rose to softly brush her face free of hair.
"I know, it's going to hurt but remember I'm not doing it on purpose." He whispered in her ear before he kissed her again. Tasting the mint of the toothpaste she'd used earlier, his lower hand inching up the hemline.
When it was where he wanted it; he started kissing a line down her neck as both hands started pulling down her underwear. Caroline pulled back and started to undo his pants. She was nervous and started fumbling; Dean came to the rescue before it got too awkward.
He scooted her to the edge, her legs parted and ready for him. Her hands braced on his shoulders. He kissed her roughly and entered her, trying to distract her from the sure pain that was to come. Her nails dug into his back and she broke off the kiss, breathing heavily she rested her forehead on his.
Dean fought hard to stay still and not rip though her and break all the trust they'd built up. In truth the only virgin he'd been with had been on his first time and that had been a while ago. Finally he moved as gently as he could manage, his hands on her waist holding her to him. Her hands tightened on his shoulders then relaxed as the pain passed. Then there was only pleasure….
Curled together they lay in her bed, sleeping and dreaming sweetly. Or so her dreams began then they ended up with her brother covered in the wicked fire, she felt the heat licking her face, she screamed but no one heard, she was alone with her worst fear.
Dean woke with a start, disoriented he found he was not in a hotel room or his room. Finally a slight whimper reminded him of where he was. She was thrashing about, muttering, and whimpering slightly. He leaned over her, holding her effortlessly still.
"Caroline….Caroline wake up. It's just a dream." He told her urgently. She turned into his arms, her eyes fluttering open looking up at him so vulnerable. He was losing all his self control.
"Dean…Dean…it was awful." She breathed out, wrapping his arms tight around her, she was then aware of the effect she was having on him. Silently she reached up and kissed him deeply. Taking him off guard when she suddenly withdrew from his embrace to pull of her nightgown; In moonlight her body shone in its pale radiance. Swept in a trance of her body, the next thing he knew his boxers were gone.
He shouldn't though…she just woke up from a bad dream…they'd already done it once. She should be sore….she only wanted him because he was there….but damn it she wanted comfort and she was going to get it.
With that he bent down and kissed her furiously one hand wrapped in her hair, the other feeling the softness of her breast. The night rules us all with its darkness that cloaks us. Hiding in the shadows we find the passion that in morning seems cheap and ugly.
In the early morning, Dean awoke casting a glance at Caroline he brushed her hair out of her face. He hesitated then got up, dressing quickly without glancing her way. He found paper and a notepad, then writing something quick. He went over to her and kissed her chastely.
He found John back at the hotel room, he glanced at his son. "You need to clean up?" He asked causally.
"Nah, let's go home…" He answered; John could tell from his son's quiet manner that he didn't want to talk. So he shrugged and threw their few bags into the car.
Riding though town, John looked over at his pensive son who was staring out the window. "We could stay." He said a little hesitantly. Dean shook his head.
"Its better if I leave, besides then you wouldn't have any help." Dean shot back with some forced cheerfulness.
"You didn't make her any promises that you couldn't keep did you?" John asked sternly, glancing at his son seriously.
"Of course not, you taught me better then that." Dean moodily answered. Staring as they passed a sign, "You are now leaving Easton." Now he just had to forget about Caroline.
Another second of my life

Whisper me the secret
Whisper me...

Something more than this
The Cure- More Then This
