Chapter 1
After three hours of driving, Dean pulled up to the motel, he took a quick glance at his younger brother who was now sleeping in the passenger side of his car, he turned off the gas, got out of his car and headed to the motel reception. A few moments later the black impala was parked outside of room 38.
"After the night we had I am looking forward to a good nights sleep" Sam said walking to one of the two beds in the motel room, while Dean was checking his messages. He held his phone to his ear, frowning while listening to bobby's worried voice on the other end. "Hey Dean, I hope you get this soon, I got a call from max today, he has been trying to reach you, call him, it's urgent, see you boys soon."
Before going to the bathroom, Dean looked over at Sam who was already passed out. He closed the tiny bathroom door and browsed his cell phone before pressing the dial button, 'max won't mind me calling at 3 in the morning' he thought to himself.
"Yes?" A deep sleepy voice answered on the other end of the line.
"Hey maxwell, its Dean, I'm sorry i took this long to get back to you but you know how it is" Dean said with a smile, trying hard to hide his worry of what could be this important.
"Yeah I know, and its fine I am just glad you called, I know how busy you are but I really need your help, I need you to take a break and come and see me asap, I will explain when you get here."
Dean did not hesitate to answer, " it's done, Sam and I will be there in a couple of hours"
"Thank you dean, I knew I could count on you, well we'll see..."
Dean cut him off before he could finish, "does she know we're coming?"
"No she doesn't, I wanted to make sure before I told her, she really missed you Dean." Dean could see him smiling on the other end of the phone.
"I missed her to, please don't tell her, I want to surprise her" Dean couldn't help but smile.
After saying their 'goodbyes' dean hung up and headed to bed. They had a long drive ahead of them and he needed his rest.
Several hours later the black impala was on the road again. The brothers knew Maxwell Harper most of their lives, he was a close friend of their father and also a fellow hunter, he married a natural witch Donna, not the demon worshiping type, her powers were genetic, transferred down from generation to generation within her family, together they had a daughter Allison. Donna was murdered three years ago by an unknown demon.
Since Sam left for school Dean and John spent a lot of time at the Harper estate, the house was also used as a resting place for hunters on the road. Dean helped train Ally and they grew very close, he felt bad for not going to see her since the death of her mother.
"Dean, I just have to ask" Sam said, unsure of what to think of his brother being so deep in thought whenever Ally is mentioned, "what Sammy?" Dean asked glancing at his brother for a second before looking back on the road. Sam took a deep breath before staring nervously "I know when you went hunting with dad and Max I was always left behind and I only saw Ally once when I was twelve and she was seven,so i never really knew Ally"
"Spit it out Sammy" Dean snapped anxiously.
"did something happen between you and Ally? I mean did you,... You know?" Sam asked looking at his brother.
Dean knew this was coming, "no sam, nothing happened between us, yes we are close, she is like the little sister I never had" Dean said sternly, "after you left I didn't take it so well, it was the first real time I was without you, I was alone." Dean sighed
"You had dad" Sam said.
"Yeah but you know how dad is, it was all about the hunt for him and before I hunted on my own I helped train Ally and took care of her,the same way I did with you and it was good," Dean said as he took the turnoff into the town, "I love her just like I love you, yes, I am an ass and a womanizer, but that is one woman I would never do that to, she is my little sister" Dean finished,taking a quick glance at his younger brother.
Sam never realized him leaving affected Dean that much, sure Dean was pissed but lonely?, then again Dean's words were the closest thing to admitting just that. "I'm sorry Dean,... for leaving."
Dean smiled at his brother, "come on Sammy, we've moved passed that, now, wipe that sad girly look of your face". Dean was hurt when Sam left, more then he would care to admit, he was truly excited to see his Ally-bear, she is his family, his sister, 'she must be really grown up now, definitely not the 17 year old teenager I remember, hopefully with no boyfriend so I won't need to worry about kicking his ass.' Dean thought to himself feeling his anger rise with the thought.
"We're here Sammy" dean said as he drove through the already open electronic gate at the front of the estate, "home sweet home" dean whispers almost to himself, they pulled up in front of the familiar white three story house. The large double oak doors opened as a tall, dark haired man,with dark green eyes appeared in the door way. Dean and Sam are already out of the car getting there bags out of the trunk.
"Hey boys" max greets as he embraces both brothers into a warm hug, "its good to see you, its been a long time Dean" Max says looking at dean,then diverting his attention towards Sam before saying,"to long Sam".
Dean smiles,"its good to be home max, I'm sorry we couldn't make it around here sooner, you know, after..." Dean trails off sadly but tries to hide it, Sam interrupts "we're sorry about what happened to Donna"
Max smiles "thank you, her spirit is still here with us,...come on let's get inside, ally's taking a bath so we can catch up"
The three men made their way into the house, setting the bags down in the lobby, the stair case and kitchen to the left, the lounge, dining area, entertainment area and small ballroom to the right. The house was lavished with gold, white and cream colours with midnight oak furniture. It had a modern vintage feel, one would never imagine a family of hunters would be living in a place like this.
They made their way to the lounge when Sam felt nature calling, "hey Max, can I use the bathroom?" Sam asked, "sure, up the stairs, second floor, it'll be on your right" Max said with a smile.
Sam made is way up the stairs, seeing four doors on his right, being unsure of which door the bathroom is behind he opens the 1st door, the study, the 2nd door, the library, closing the door again he made his way to opening the 3rd door.
Standing in the large room was a very naked tan woman with long jet black hair,plumb and wine red highlights and deep chocolate brown eyes who is about to get dressed, at the door is a very shocked and embarrassed Sam,
"Yes?" She asked, glaring at Sam, "I uhm...I'm...bathroom" Sam could barely get the words out.
She continued glaring and raising her eye brow, "ok then, well firstly,I'm feeling generous today, so...I'll give you a few options, you can start by closing your eyes and your mouth cause that really doesn't look good on that cute face of yours, or you could turn around or close the door and leave of cause, I do not care what you decide, just decide now, unless you would like to get shot in the balls as if you were a pervert, which I really hope you're not."
And with that said Sam closed his mouth and turned his back, "I am really sor..." Sam's attempt at a feeble apology failed as he was interrupted " the bathroom is the next door" she paused turning her back to him" oh and next time, knock."
Sam muttered a small 'thank you' before closing the door behind him with a heavy sigh.
A while later Sam made his way down the stairs, still embarrassed after his uncomfortable encounter, he felt the need to explain himself. "I'm really sorry Max, I was looking for the bathroom and it was the wrong door, she was just standing there, it was an accident..." Sam tried explaining nervously,
"Its ok Sam, your still standing so that's a good sign that Al wasn't bothered that much, now relax" max said putting a hand on Sam's shoulder.
They heard movement outside the lounge," Dad next time give someone proper directions" allison said as she entered, now fully dressed.
She looked at the three men, until her face lit up with a smile when noticing one, "Dean!" She yelled, half running towards him in the room throwing her legs and arms around him and giving him a peck as they held each other.
"Hell, I've missed you, damn look at you ally-bear! all grown up, and hot!" dean said, feeling so many emotions, happiness, excitement, shock at the woman he sees, sad cause he missed her,feeling he failed her for noting being there for her and feeling a sense of pride because of the strong woman she has become.
"What the hell are you doing here? I didn't know you were coming," ally said,smiling as she remembered his nickname for her, just then another woman's voice broke through.
"Honey, you need to check on the pasta." The woman said
Sam and Dean spun around in the direction of the voice, seeing a slightly older but beautiful woman with long brown hair and brown eyes, both brothers stare, not liking what they are seeing.
"Son-of-a-bitch!" Dean shouted.
"Good evening boys" said Donna, with a warm motherly smile.
