November 2nd 1990…
Mary Winchester was a young, beautiful mother and wife. She led a charmed life. Her husband, John was her high school sweetheart, a recently retired marine, who had just opened his own auto shop.
They lived in Lawrence, Kansas with their young children, Dean the oldest was seven, Sam or Sammy as he was affectionately called was four, Trevor was two and Katie, the baby of the family, was six months.
Then on the night of November 2nd 1990 their lives were turned upside down by a horrific event that would haunt those left behind for the rest of their lives.
Mary was killed by a demon who pinned her to the ceiling of her babies' nursery as they slept, and engulfed her in flames as her distraught husband looked on in disbelief.
John grabbed his babies from their cots and ran out to the landing where he saw Dean and Sam standing beside the door to their bedroom, looking petrified. They had been woken by all the screaming from the nursery.
Putting Katie in Dean's arms and Trevor in Sam's arms, John ordered them to get out of the house as fast as they could. Dean, not needing to be told twice ran as fast as his legs would carry him, holding Katie in one arm and pulling Sam along with the other.
Heading back into the nursery, John tried heroically to save Mary, but it was too late. He had to make the most heart-breaking decision of his life, leave the love of his life and save himself.
Just as he ran out of the house and whisked his kids into his arms, the whole house went up in flames.
For the next fifteen years John and his children would spend every waking moment hunting the evil son-of-a-bitch who had destroyed their family and any other supernatural beast they crossed along the way.
October 31st 2005…
Sam was sleeping when he heard a noise coming from downstairs. He tensed, torn between the urge to tackle the approaching threat and the need to protect his sleeping girlfriend. He looked over at Jess and saw that she was sound asleep. They had been out celebrating; Sam had just passed all his final exams with top marks meaning he could go to any law school he wanted. After seeing that Jess was alright he headed downstairs to confront the intruder.
He moved swiftly and quietly, back pressed against the wall, moving soundlessly like his father had thought him. As he moved he heard more noises, more thumps coming from the living room. Reaching the bottom of the stairwell, Sam quietly turned the corner, back to the wall, all senses on guard.
At first glimpse of the dark figure crossing the room, Sam moved, no hesitation, his only thought to take down the intruder that had violated his home. He tackled the intruder to the ground but was over powered.
"Whoa, easy there tiger" said the intruder
"Dean?" Sam breathed in amazement at the sight of his brother, who he hadn't seen in two years "You scarred the crap outta me!"
"That's 'cause your outta shape, kiddo" Dean smirked
Sam kicked Dean in the back and they rolled again, this time Sam over powering Dean.
"Maybe not" Dean panted "Dude, get off me!"
"Dean, what the hell are you doing here?" Sam asked helping Dean up
"Well I was looking for a beer"
"What, The Hell, Are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you"
"Uh…The phone!?" Sam said coldly
"If I'd have called, would you have picked up?" Dean snapped back, knowing his answer
Sam didn't respond, just stared at Dean because he knew Dean knew the answer to that question and he didn't want to have to say it out loud.
"Sam? Is everything okay?" asked Jess approaching the living room and flicking on the light
Sam's headed snapped up, looking at Jess
"Jess!...Hey!... Dean…this is my girlfriend Jessica" Sam said reluctantly introducing them
"Dean? Wait your brother Dean?" she asked in awe, finally meeting a member of his family
"You know I gotta tell you, you are completely outta my brother's league" Dean said with a flirtatious grin on his face "I love the smurfs, by the way"
Her mouth twisted in amusement "Let me put something on"
Dean held up a hand. "No, no wouldn't dream of it….seriously" he smiled
Sam and Dean flinched when they heard a noise coming from the direction of the back door. They heard a few thuds and then what sounded like chatting. Sam went to see who it was when Dean held him back realising who it was.
"Hey…Dean, what's taking so long?..." said the shadows approaching them
"Katie?...Trevor?..." Sam asked in shock
"I thought I told ye to wait in the car" Dean snapped
"Yeah…and we started listening to you…when??" Katie smirked
Sam couldn't help but smile, deep down he had really missed his siblings, though he had never let himself believe it before. Katie seemed cold towards Sam and just walked over to Dean, this was her defence mechanism, when ever she felt scarred or uncomfortable she would move closer to Dean as he made her feel the safest.
"Trev, Katie. It's good to see you. How are ye?" Sam asked cautiously
"Good" Trevor replied
"Good?" Sam asked, noticing the bruises on Trevor's face and his busted up lip "What happened your face? You look like you got into a fight with a base-ball bat."
"Yeah, apparently football players don't like been out-witted in public" Trevor replied
"So he beat you?" Sam asked
"Yeah but you should see his hands, I tore those mothers' up!" Trevor smirked
Sam smirked back, Trevor had become exactly like Dean.
You could have cut the tension in the room with a knife.
"Uh….Sam?" Jess said breaking the silence
"Oh…yeah… sorry, Jess this is Trevor and Katie" Sam said pointing them "my little brother and sister."
"Hey…" Jess said giving them a slight wave
"Hey…" they replied in unison
"Alrighty then, as touching as this hallmark moment is, I've gotta borrow your boyfriend here, talk about some private family business." Dean said looking a Jess "Nice meeting you, though"
"No" Sam interrupted, walking towards Jess "No. What ever you have to say, you can say it in front of her"
"Okay….umm..." Dean hesitated "…dad hasn't been home in a few days"
"So he's working overtime on a Miller time shift. He'll stumble back in sooner or later" Sam replied coldly
"Typical selfish Sammy" Katie muttered under her breath
"What was that Katie?" Sam asked after hearing what she said
"Nothing. Can I use your bathroom? Katie replied choosing to avoid confrontation, which was rare for her
"Yeah. It's down the hall on the left" Jess answered
"Thanks, Jess" Katie said walking past her, throwing daggers at Sam
"Anyway Sammy, Dad's on a Hunting Trip…and he hasn't been home in a few days" Dean said trying to get back on subject. Carefully trying to pick his words assuming Sam hadn't told Jess their 'family business'
"Jess, excuse us. We have to go outside" Sam said, the penny finally dropping
Jess looked up at Sam, noticing his change in expression at what Dean said
"Tell Katie we're outside" Sam said "I'll be back in a bit" he said giving Jess a peck on the cheek
"I'll wait for Katie" Trevor interrupted "If that's okay?"
"Yeah, that's fine" Sam replied "We'll be back in a few"
"Sam, is everything okay? Jess asked noticing the change in Sam's attitude
"Yeah, everything's fine. I'll be back soon" Sam replied giving her a reassuring smile
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
While Sam and Dean were heading down to the car, Trevor was in the apartment with Jess waiting for Katie.
"C'mon Katie. It's safe you can come out now, Sam has gone outside with Dean" Trevor shouted towards the toilet
"Shut up Trev!" Katie shouted back as she walked out of the bathroom
"So how long have you been going out with our brother? Trevor asked Jess trying to make conversation and break the awkwardness.
"Uh…bout a year and a half" Jess replied, thankful that he had made the first move "You want something to eat…or drink?" Jess offered
"Wouldn't mind a beer" Trevor replied with a cheesy smirk he had learned off Dean
"Yeah, I meant a non-alcoholic drink" Jess smiled "Sam said ye were seventeen and fifteen, right?"
"Yeah, sorry about him, he thinks he's cute" Katie said with a laugh
"I think I'm adorable" Trevor smirked
"So…um…does Sam talk about us much?" Katie asked
As soon as she had asked the question she wished she hadn't as she was afraid of the answer.
"Um…yes and no, he just said that ye moved around a lot and that ye had a big falling out a couple of years ago and hadn't spoken since, which I thought was kinda sad 'cause he said ye were close before." Jess replied
"Yeah we were a pretty close family, before" Katie smiled nostalgically
"Yeah, he said that Dean always had his back, with like everything and that he never had to ask, when ever he was down Dean would be there with his hand out to pull him back up, and…that with ye he said he felt like he was needed and depended on, that he felt like ye looked up to him which he liked 'cause with Dean he always felt like the little brother…he loved how you, Katie always talked to him…about anything and everything" Jess smiled
"Then why did he leave!?" Katie muttered under her breath
Jess stared at Katie after hearing what she had muttered, wondering if she should defend Sam or just let it go.
"Yeah, anyway we should probably go out to them before they kill one another" Trevor smiled "nice to have met you Jess" he continued as she headed towards the door, Katie following
"Yeah, maybe we'll see you again" Katie said, giving a slight wave as she walked out the door.
"Yeah, I hope so" Jess shouted after them "bye!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As she walked down the back steps, Katie was wiping the tears from her face. She was overwhelmed with emotion at seeing Sam again. She was pissed at him for leaving and for them having to beg for his help, but after hearing what he told Jess about them, how could she stay mad at him?
"Whoa... Katie, what's wrong" Trevor asked, grabbing her arm and stopping her
"Nothing, Trev. I'm K"
"Yeah, clearly" Trevor replied "Don't make me use my 'Mind Reading Powers' to read your mind" he smiled sitting down on the steps.
This was their private joke they would play on everyone, they would pretend they to read each other's mind.
"Shut up" Katie smiled sitting next to him "It's just seeing Sammy again...after everything. I thought I had gotten over him going to college and leaving us, 'cause I was happy for him, deep down but now having to come here and beg him to help us.... He's not the same Sammy I remember, the old Sammy knew that family comes first. He's just…not the brother I remember. Pathetic aren't I?" Katie continued wiping the tears from her cheeks.
"No, shut up. It's perfectly normal. We haven't seen Sammy in two years so it's normal to be over-whelmed. Katz I feel the same, we shouldn't have to beg he should want to help, but what can we do? He has a life here." Trevor reassured "We'll just sit here for a while, 'til you feel better. And I promise I won't tell anyone how pathetic you are"
"Thanks, Trev." Katie smiled
After a couple of minutes of sobbing they stood up and continued down the back steps, Katie wiping her eyes trying to cover up the fact she had been crying, which was useless 'cause with one look Dean would automatically know.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dean put all the information back in the trunk of his car and closed down the trunk. He sat on the car and turned his head towards Sam.
"You know in 2 years I have never bothered you or asked you for a thing"
"Alright, I'll go, I'll help you find him…but I have to be back first thing Monday" Sam said turning and walking back towards the apartment.
"Why, what's first thing Monday?" Dean inquired
"I have an interview!"
"A job interview? Skip it!"
"It's a law school interview and it's my future on a plate. I can't miss it."
"Law school? So you gonna be some hot-shot lawyer?"
"So we got a deal or what?" Sam said ignoring Dean, sensing the sarcasm in his voice
The two stared at one another for a minute until there silence and stares were interrupted by Katie and Trevor as they walked towards the Impala.
"So what's goin' on?" Trevor asked noticing the tension between them
"Sammy's coming with us" Dean replied "but we have to be back first thing Monday" Dean continued giving Sam a nod
"I'll go pack and tell Jess. Give me fifteen minutes" Sam said responding to Dean's nod.
He turned and headed back through the metal gate and back up the back steps to the apartment.
"Katie? You okay with Sammy comin' with us" Dean asked after noticing her rolling her eyes when he first announced it
"Yeah. Whatever." Katie replied as she walked towards the back seat of the Impala.
Dean stopped Trevor as he went to follow her. "She okay?" he asked noticing she had been crying.
"Yeah, she just got a bit over-whelmed, 'bout seeing Sammy again. She still pissed at him for leaving, but she okay now." Trevor replied
"K, tell me if it happens again" Dean ordered.
"If?" Trevor replied with a smirk "Dude, you know Katie; I give it 100 miles before she confronts him, and she won't be the one over-whelmed then"
Dean laughed shoving Trevor toward the Impala.
"This is going to be a long drive" Dean smiled to himself as he followed Trevor to the Impala and hopped into the front seat
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey, you want breakfast?" Dean asked holding up a can of soda and some candy
"No thanks" Sam replied in disgust at his brothers idea of breakfast
"I think I'll go help Dean" Trevor said unable to stand the deafening silence in the car
"So Katie, how you been?" Sam asked trying to break the tension and awkward silence in the car
"If you called every once and a while you'd know" Katie snapped, hopping out of the car and walking over to Dean and Trevor
"You want anything else from the store?" she asked as she headed back in
"No thanks" Dean and Trevor replied in unison
"Don't be too long, we gotta get back on the road" Dean shouted at her
Dean watched as she went inside making sure she was gone before turning to Sam and saying "Give her time; she'll come round…soon. She can never stay mad at people for long"
"Yeah, well two years seems like a long time to me" Sam replied
"Sammy she hasn't been mad at you for two years. She was mad at first and then she got over it, but seeing you again just made her mad again. Just give her time" Trevor stated walking toward Sam in the Impala
"Yeah I hope" Sam said with a look of sadness in his eyes "So how'd you pay for all that stuff…" pointing to the pile of food on the back seat that Dean had bought "…you and dad still running credit card scams?"
"Hunting ain't exactly a pro ball career, besides all we do is apply, it's not our fault they send us the cards" Dean smirked hopping into the car.
"…and what names did you put on the application forms?" Sam asked with a smirk
"Burt Aframian…and his sons Hector and Jorge. Scored three cards outta the deal" Trevor replied with a smile.
"Sounds about right" Sam smiled. "I swear man, you seriously gotta update your cassette tape collection" Sam stated looking through Dean's shoe box of cassette tapes
"Why?" Dean asked getting back into the car
"Well for one there cassette tapes and two, Black Sabbath? Motor Head?, Metallica?. It's the greatest hits of mullet rock" Sam stated
"House rules Sammy…" Dean said picking up the Metallica cassette and putting it on "Driver picks the music…"
"…shotgun cuts his cake hole" Katie interrupted, rolling her eyes and hopping into the backseat of the Impala, beside Trevor.
Dean pointed at Katie "What she said!"
"You know Sammy is a chubby twelve year old. It's Sam!" he replied in annoyance of his pet name
"What?" Dean shouted turning up the stereo "I can't hear you, the music's too loud" he smirked.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Okay, so no-one matching dad's description at the hospital or morgue. So that's something I guess" Sam said hanging up his phone.
Dean nodded in agreement. Relief written all over his face
"Hey check it out" Katie said breaking the silence "Looks like there might have been another vanishing" she continued, pointing to what looked like a crime scene, surrounded by yellow tape and swarming with police officers.
Dean pulled up across from the yellow tape at the entrance to the bridge. He opened the glove compartment and pulled out a small wooden box containing fake ID's.
"Okay. Trev, you and Katie start walking towards the town, it's about two miles" Dean ordered "…and when you get to town just lie low in the nearest dinner and don't draw attention"
"Yes sir!" they replied, in military voices, giving him a salute
Sam laughed and Dean couldn't help smiling
"Okay. Let's go!" Dean said taking two ID's from the box and handing one to Sam
Sam took a deep breath, bracing himself. He was nervous; he hadn't done this in two years
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As they walked towards the local dinner in the town, Trevor carefully brought up the topic of Sam.
"So…umm…how you feeling now about Sammy?" Trevor asked cautiously
"I'm okay, I guess. What can I do about it?... It's not really his fault. Sometimes even I get sick of always hunting and moving schools and towns and having no friends. I don't know why I got so mad and upset, I think it was 'cause he never called or made any contact and then acts mad when we he sees us for the first time in two years" Katie replied
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Maybe you should talk to him about it?"
"How?... How do I ask him why he abandoned us? I don't want him to think I hate him, 'cause I don't."
"I don't know maybe just start with that and the rest will come to you but you definitely need to speak to him, 'cause the tension is killing me and Dean" Trevor said giving her a smile and opening the door of the dinner.
"Yeah, I know." Katie replied "Finally, real food. I'm starved"
"Hello, can I take ye're order?" a friendly waitress asked
"Well, hello there…Sarah" Trevor replied, straight away noticing her name tag, typical Dean move. "Um…we'll take two specials and two coffees, please"
"No, problem hun, that'll be about ten minutes" Sarah replied with a friendly smile
"Please, could you stop the Cheshire cat look, it's making me nauseous" Katie said laughing at her brothers attempt of flirting.
"Shut up!" Trevor retorted with a smile
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As they walked around the town, heading for the dinner, Dean and Sam couldn't help noticing all the missing posters.
"Jeez, don't think I've ever seen so many missing posters in the one place before" Dean commented
"Yeah" Sam said in agreement as he opened the door to the dinner.
The two headed over to the table Trevor and Katie were sitting at. Dean picking up speed when he noticed their food and stealing a sausage off Katie's plate.
"Hey!" Katie protested
Dean just stuck out his tongue like a big child
"So what's the story?" Trevor asked
"There's another missing guy. Troy Bennett" Sam replied
"Yeah, he disappeared last night some time around nine. He was on the phone to his girlfriend and said he had to go but would call her back later but he never did." Dean continued
"Okay, so what are we doing?" Katie asked
"Well, one of the officers daughter, Amy, was going out with the guy who went missing and he said that she was putting up missing posters around town, so I'm thinking we find her and see if Troy had been acting weird or out of character." Sam replied
"Yeah, sounds like a good idea" Trevor said in agreement
"Why don't we split up?" Katie suggested
"No!" Dean snapped not giving it another thought.
"Why don't you and Sammy go look for Amy and me and Trev will go ask some of the locals, see if they have any theories about what's going on." Katie replied
"That's actually a good idea!" Sam stated trying to encourage him
"Dude? Shut up!" Dean snapped "I'm not letting you outta my sight" Dean said glaring at Katie
"Dean, I'm fifteen" Katie whined "I can talk to people. I'll act like a nosey tourist or something. Plus you let me out of your sight when me and Trev walked to town and it's not like I'll be alone, I'll have Trev"
"C'mon Dean, trust her, she's old enough" Sam said
Dean took a deep breath "Okay" he agreed reluctantly "Meet back at the car in thirty minutes or I come looking Katie, I'm serious!"
"Yes, Warden!" she said and she headed out of the dinner
"Trev, don't let her out your sight." Dean ordered
"Okay, okay! What about me are you not worried about me? Who's gonna protect me?" Trevor replied in a mockingly
"You'll need protecting if something happens to her" Dean snapped
"Dude, she's not getting out of my sight I promise" Trevor replied, now in a serious tone. He turned and followed Katie out of the dinner
Sam, noticing the change in Trevor's voice, questioned Dean, but he didn't respond. Instead he just grabbed the bill and headed to the counter.
"Warden??" Sam asked, deciding to avoid confrontation
"Uh…yeah, she calls me her warden when she thinks I'm been too protective" Dean replied
"Thinks?" Sam mocked
"Shut up!" Dean smiled
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So, what we doing?" Trevor asked
"Maybe we should split up, get talking to more people…" Katie replied
"Don't even think about it!" Trevor snapped, interrupting her "Dean told me to keep an eye on you and that's what I'm gonna do. I actually value my life."
"Whatever" Katie retorted "Okay, so I was thinking we should check out the local park or hang out, find some teenagers and see what they think 'bout what's going on!? What you think?"
"Why do you always wanna go down that route? Do you not remember North Carolina?"
"Trev, of course I remember North Carolina I'm hardly ever gonna forget it, but you know teenagers almost always have the right story or at least send us on the right track…." Katie debated
"Yeah, but…" Trevor argued
"Trev please, it's been like a year. What do you want me to do? Lock myself in a room, away from all human contact?..." Katie retorted "I get that you and Dean are protective and I love ye for it but….with the job we do…fear isn't really an option. Look it'll be okay, you'll be with me"
"Yeah, I suppose it's not a bad idea…I guess" smirked Trevor "…okay, I over-heard that waitress Sarah talking about a Hinckley Park, it's suppose to be a skater park. How 'bout we start there?"
"Yeah, is it close though? Remember the warden said to be back by the car in thirty"
"Yeah, I think I heard Sarah say it was around the corner." Trevor replied
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sam and Dean began walking towards the Impala after talking to Amy.
"So, head to the library and check out this Centennial murder. See if it really happened?" Sam asked
"Yeah" Dean replied distracted "where the hell are Trevor and Katie? Dean asked looking at his watch
"What? They're only like five minutes late." Sam replied "I mean c'mon they're teenagers, do you honestly expect them to be punctual?"
"C'mon" Dean said ignoring what Sam had just said
"Dean, seriously why have you gotten all over-protective of Katie?" Sam asked noticing Dean becoming increasingly uneasy.
Dean just ignored Sam again and began walking in the direction Trevor and Katie had gone "I'm gonna go find them"
"Um…Dean" Sam said directing him to the left of the street he was heading, Trevor now standing beside him
Dean turned to Sam and Trevor, throwing them a 'what the hell' look
"Sorry man, what can I say, she's a teenage girl" Trevor said to Dean
Katie was talking to a group of guys, who looked about eighteen. Dean could tell they were flirting and he wasn't gonna stand for this.
"I'm gonna kill them" Dean muttered under his breath as he walked towards them
Trevor whistled, to warn Katie that Dean was coming. She turned around and saw Dean and he looked pissed
"Um…well thanks for the chat guys put I gotta go, sorry!" she said sincerely
"Aw, why?" one of the guys called Jake asked
"Well, you see that really angry looking dude coming this way?" she replied
"Your boyfriend?" he asked disappointedly
"No. God no!" she protested "he's my brother, my kinda over-protective brother"
"Oh, that's good" Jake smiled "Can I at least have your number?"
"Um…yeah" she smiled back in surprise "um…hand me your phone and I'll type it in"
Katie took his phone and typed her name and number in.
"Okay, I'll give you a call" he smiled taking his phone back from her "See you around!"
"Yeah I hope so." She smiled back "See you guys" she said to the rest of the group and headed towards Dean who was not happy
"Hey Dean…" she said with a smile
"Don't 'Hey' me Kathryn Rose Winchester" he snapped, grabbing her arm and turning towards Sam and Trevor "What the hell was that?"
"Getting information" she replied as they reached the Impala
"Yeah? And what did you find out?" Dean asked getting into the car, he was trying to catch her out and prove she wasn't getting information
"Well…" she started hopping into the backseat "…the theory around the town is that it's the spirit of some local girl who was murdered up on Centennial decades ago, and that she hitch-hikes or something and that whoever picks her up is never seen again. So how did I do?" she asked smugly
"Yeah, well we could have told you that" Dean said smiling proudly to himself but he wasn't gonna let her see that
"So we're heading to the library now to see if there is any truth to this story" Sam told Katie
Dean started up the car and drove off to the local library.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The four of them were sitting in the library, Dean was sitting in front of the computer typing in different words from 'Female Murder Hitch-hiking' to 'Female Murder Centennial Highway' to see if there was any truth to this 'legend' but nothing came up and he was getting frustrated
"Let me try" Sam said trying to grab the mouse
"I got it" Dean snapped, slapping Sam's hand
Katie rolled her eyes, this reminded her of when Sam and Dean were teenagers, and they were constantly bickering over nothing
Sam shoved the seat Dean was sitting on moving him away from the computer
"Dude?" Dean said wheeling back towards Sam and punching his arm "you're such a control freak!"
"So angry spirits are born out of a violent death, right?" Sam said
"Yeah" Katie replied
"Well maybe it's not murder" Sam said typing 'Female Suicide Centennial Highway'
Dean shoots him a look when one result comes up
"This was 1981, Constance Welch, twenty-four years old, jumps of Sylvania Bridge, drowns in the river" Sam said reading the news article shown on screen
"Does it say why she did it?" Trevor asked
"Yeah" Sam replied sadly
"What?" Dean asked
"An hour before they find her she calls 911, her two little kids are in the tub, she leaves them alone for a minute, when she comes back they aren't breathing. Both die." Sam replied reading from the article again ""Our babies were gone and Constance just couldn't bear it" said husband Joseph Welch"
"That bridge look familiar to ye? Dean asked pointing to the picture on the screen of the bridge where Troy Bennett had disappeared "K, Sammy print it off. Me and Katie will go to the office and collect it. We'll meet ye by the car"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
While waiting with Trevor by the impala, Sam cautiously brought up Dean's over-protectiveness over Katie.
"So…uh…Trev, what's the deal with Dean and not letting Katie off on her own? I mean he's always been protective but this seems different."
"Oh…you noticed, huh?" Trevor laughed, it was impossible not to notice "It's just…uh…it's just something that happened like a year ago…"
"What happened Trev?" Sam asked
"Look Sammy you can't go telling Dean or Katie that I told you" Trevor replied, regretting ever bringing it up
"Trevor, what happened?"
"Uh…shit Dean is gonna kill me for this" Trevor muttered
"Trevor, tell me, now" Sam snapped, getting angry
"Okay, okay…we were in North Carolina and we were on a case and ….uh…dad…thought it would be good to…uh split up…you know like today…to get info on a case we were on and…umm…we all went different ways, dad went to the local police station, Dean to the crime scene, me to the local café and…uh…Katie went to the local hangout to talk to the teenagers, cause you know, that's usually the best source, they always know all the local myths and stuff. So…uh…Katie got talking to them, you know the whole 'I just transferred here and was taking a look round the town deal' and…uh she hung out with them all day….and… one of the girls got jealous when her boyfriend started talking to Katz, so when Katie left to go find us, this girl and a group of her friends decided to follow her and teach her lesson. They followed her into an alley and….uh…came at her from behind and started beating her." Trevor's eyes started welling up "Sammy if we hadn't come to find her, god knows how far they would have gone."
"How badly hurt was she?" Sam asked in disbelief, his eyes now beginning to well up
"Broken arm, three fractured ribs…umm…concussion, busted lip,…nasty gash above her left eye which needed eleven stitches and left a nasty scar, if she wears her hair back you can see it clearly, and bruises all over her body…. She had to stay with Bobby for like two and a half weeks" Trevor replied wiping his eyes
"Jeez, why didn't ye call me? She's my sister too. I had a right to know"
"Sam don't, you were in college…."
"So that means I stopped caring about you guys? Just because I went to college!?."
"Well you gave a good impression of it by not calling or writing." snapped Trevor
"Look Sam, Katie wouldn't let us call you. We were gonna wait 'til she got the all clear 'cause we didn't want to worry you. But Katie knew that you would feel guilty, that you would think that if you had been there it might not have happened, so she wouldn't let us tell you…she made us swear." continued Trevor, now feeling bad for snapping.
"What did ye do?" Sam asked staring into the distance.
"We brought her to the hospital, what do you think we did!?" Trevor snapped defensively
"No Trev, I mean about those girls"
"What could we do Sammy? They ran off and we didn't get a proper look at them…."
"So ye didn't even go to the police?" Sam replied in shock "…..god Trev, she could have been killed!"
"Don't you think I know that! What were we suppose to do Sam, what story could we have used, about been in town, about the warrants out on dad, eh? Plus a story like that would have made the headlines…"
"Yeah, but still Trev, dad should have done something….."
"Sammy, don't start that crap. Dad did what he could!" Trevor retorted "You didn't see it, it broke his heart to see her like that…it broke all of our hearts. I was so angry….they beat her so bad for no reason…..."
"So that's why Dean has gotten so protective of her?" Sam asked
"Yeah, I think it's 'cause he feels he has to protect her from humans now, as well as demons…..at least that's how I feel." Trevor replied
They both just sat there in silence, Trevor wishing he hadn't said anything because he knew sooner or later Sam would blurt out that he knew. And Sam in shock over what he had just heard, Katie was right, he started feeling guilty and questioning his choice and going through 'what if' scenarios.
Their thoughts were interrupted by Dean and Katie coming towards them. Trevor quickly rubbed his face to remove any last tears from his eyes.
"K, got the details." Dean stated "Ready to go?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Later that night the four of them waited until dark, until the officers had left the scene before heading back to the Sylvania Bridge, for a look around
"So this is where Constance took the swan dive!" Dean said looking over the bridge
"So you think dad would have been here? Trevor asked
"Well he's chasing the same story and we're chasing him" Dean replied
"Okay, so what now?" Katie asked
"We keep digging 'til we find him, might take a while" Dean replied turning around and walking back away from the ledge
"Dean, I told you I gotta get back by…" Sam began
"Monday, right the interview…" Dean said interrupting him and turning to face him "…yeah, I forgot. You're really serious about this, aren't you?"
"Guys don't start this" Trevor pleaded knowing where this was gonna go
"Yeah. Why not?" Sam said answering dean's question
"Does Jessica know the truth about you?..." Dean asked
"Dean, c'mon drop it, man" Trevor begged
"Does she know about the things you've done? Dean continued, ignoring Trevor
"No, and she's not ever going to know" Sam replied walking towards Dean
"Well, that's healthy. You can pretend all you want Sammy…" Dean said turning and walking away again "…but sooner or later you're gonna have to face up to who you really are"
"And who's that?" Sam asked
"You're one of us" Dean replied continuing walking
"No. I'm not like you" Sam said walking in front of Dean stopping him "This is not gonna be my life!"
"You have a responsibility!" Dean stated
"To dad?...and his crusade?" Sam asked "If it weren't for pictures, I wouldn't even know what mom looks like. What difference would it make? Even if we do find the thing that killed her, mom's gone and she's not coming back."
Dean launched for Sam, grabbing him by his jacket and slamming him against the bridge
"Dean, stop" Trevor shouted
"Both of you stop!" Katie continued
"Don't talk about her like that" Dean said, showing regret for slamming Sam into the bridge
Dean let go of Sam and turned to walk back to the Impala
"Uh…Guys!" Katie said pointing to the side of the bridge
They both turned and saw Constance on the bridge; she looked at them and jumped off. They ran over to her.
"Where'd she go?" Dean asked
"I don't know" Sam replied
Just then the Impala started up, headlights blaring, engine revving. The four of them turned around in shock
"What the…?" Dean said
"Dude, who's driving your car?" Trevor asked
Dean took his keys out of his pocket and held the up. The car started revving more, and took off towards them
They started running. Dean grabbing Katie by the arm and Sam grabbing Trevor, the big brother in him coming out.
"Run" Dean shouted "C'mon, go go!" he yelled
They were running as fast as they could when Sam jumped over the side of the bridge followed by Dean, Trevor and Katie
Sam pulled himself up from the ledge when he heard the car cut out. He looked down to see Katie hanging on….barely.
"Katie, give me your hand!" Sam ordered "C'mon, it's okay, I got you" he reassured
She reached out and took his hand, and he pulled her up gently.
"Thanks Sammy" she said, before realising Dean and Trevor weren't there. "Dean? Trev? Where are they?" she asked
"DEAN! TREVOR!" Sam and Katie shouted in unison
"What?" Dean shouted back annoyed crawling out of the muddy water
"Hey, you alright?" Sam asked relieved
"Super!" he replied sarcastically, giving an 'ok' signal
"What 'bout Trevor?" Sam shouted back down
"I'm here. I'm fine" Trevor shouted crawling up beside Dean. "Is Katie with you?"
"Yeah, she's here. She's okay" he replied
When he got back up to the bridge, Dean checked his car
"Car alright?" Sam asked
"Yeah, whatever she did to it seems alright now" he replied closing the hood "THAT CONSTANCE CHICK! WHAT A BITCH!" Dean yelled
"Well she doesn't want us digging around that's for sure" Trevor said
"So where does the trail go from here genius?" Sam asked mockingly
Dean sat against the hood, raising up his arms and slapped his muddy hands off his muddy jeans.
Sam turned to Dean "Dude, you smell like a toilet"
Dean looked down at his clothes in agreement
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"One room, please" Dean said dropping a credit card on the counter
The manager stared at him for a moment, while Sam, Trevor and Katie laughed, but decided no to ask him why he was covered in mud. He picked up the credit card and inspected it.
"You guys having a reunion or something?" The manager asked
"What do you mean?" Sam asked
"That other guy, Burt Aframian, he came in and bought out a room for a month" The manager replied
Dean turned and looked at his siblings; maybe things were looking up for them?!
Sam picked the lock to the room the manager said he had given to John. He, Trevor and Katie stepped in, in shock at what they saw, Sam pulled Dean in by his jacket and the three of them stood gazing around the room
The walls were covered in newspapers clippings, the room was filthy, bits of paper all over the floor, the bed was unmade with papers scattered all over it
"Whoa…" Sam said
Dean turned on the lamp and picked up a left over burger John had left behind and smelt it.
"Ugh…" Dean said "I don't think he's been here for a couple of days at least"
"Salt, Cats Eye shells. He was worried. Trying to keep something from coming in" Sam stated
"What you got here?" he asked walking over to Dean
"Centennial Highway victims" he replied pointing at the pictures of the missing men
"I don't get it…" Katie began walking over to her brothers
"Yeah me either…different men, different jobs, ages, ethnicities. There's always a connection, right?" Trevor continued
"Yeah" Dean answered
"Then what is the connection here?" Katie asked
Sam walked over to the far side of the room, to look at the other cut outs; John had put on the wall. He turned on the other lamp.
"Dad figured it out" he said
"What do you mean?" Dean and Katie asked in unison
"He found the same article we did, Constance Welch. She's a woman in white."
"You sly dogs!" Dean said looking up at the pictures of the missing men.
"Alright, if we're dealing with a woman in white, dad would have found the corpse and destroyed it" Dean said
"She might have another weakness" Sam stated
"Dad would want to make sure, he'd dig her up" Dean said walking towards Sam "Does it say where she's buried?
"No, not that I can tell" Sam replied "If I were dad though, I'd go ask her husband, if he's still alive"
"Alright, why don't you see if you can find an address. I'm gonna get cleaned up" Dean said walking to the bathroom
"Hey Dean…" Sam said
Dean turned around to face him
"What I said earlier, about mom and dad, I'm sorry…" Sam said
Dean held up his hand "No chick flick moments" he smirked
Sam smiled "Alright…Jerk!"
"Bitch!" Dean retorted with a smile
Sam walked over to a picture that caught his eye. It was of him, his dad and Dean, Trevor and Katie. Katie walked over to him and looked at it too.
"Good times, eh?" Katie said
"Yeah" Sam smiled
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
While Dean was in the shower, Sam decided to try and talk to Katie, as she seemed to be in an approachable mood.
"Katie….look can we talk, please?" Sam asked carefully.
"What about?" she asked bluntly, making Sam wish he hadn't brought the subject up.
"Why you're mad at me? Why you won't talk to me and when you do, it's like talking to a stranger….." Sam began.
"Well we pretty much are strangers." Katie interrupted.
"What are you talking about?"
"Two years Sammy, two god-damn years of no contact!...." Katie retorted.
"Katie, I just went college…." Sam stated firmly.
"Sam just leave it" interrupted Trevor trying to avoid confrontation because he knew Katie wasn't ready for that talk yet.
"No Sammy, you didn't just go to college. You cut us out of your life. You're only using college as an excuse!" Katie snapped, ignoring Trevor's plea
"That's not true!" Sam replied sternly
"Yeah? So where are all the letters you wrote us? The birthday card?..... Let me guess they got lost in the mail?" Katie replied sarcastically
"That's not fair! I wanted to write, I wanted to call, but I thought ye were mad at me…" Sam replied
"And what you thought staying away and out of contact would make us less angry at you for leaving?!" Katie replied mockingly. "Sammy, I was so proud of you for going to college and getting away from this life….I just didn't think you'd forget about me in the process."
"Katie, I didn't forget about you!" Sam replied
"Yeah, well you could'a fooled me." Katie whispered softly "Look whatever; I'm going for a walk."
"No, Katie wait" Sam shouted after her.
"Well done Sam, nice" snapped Trevor as he chased after her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sam was checking his voicemail when Dean finally came out of the bathroom
"Hey, where's Trev and Katie?" Dean asked noticing their absence.
"There…" Sam began but was interrupted by Trevor walking back in.
"Hey, where's Katie?" Dean asked
"She's just gone for a walk round the carpark" Trevor replied
"She okay?" Sam asked carefully.
"Yeah she just needs a cool off" replied Trevor
Dean looked confused noticing the tension but chose to ignore it.
"Okay. I'm starving. I'm gonna grab a little something to eat at the diner down the street. You want anything" Dean asked
"Nah, I'm fine" Sam replied, phone to ear
"Hey wait up!" Trevor shouted "I'm coming with you"
They left the room and started towards the car when Trevor noticed the motel manager and two police officers pointing at him and Dean
"Uh…Dean" Trevor said tilting her head towards the officers
"Crap!" Dean said pulling out his phone and dialling Sam
"Yeah?" Sam said answering his phone
"Dude 5/0 find Katie and take off" Dean ordered
"What about ye?" Sam asked
"Uh…they kinda spotted us. I'll take care of it. Go find dad" Dean replied
Trevor grabbed Dean's arm, "Dean, they're walking towards us!" he said
Dean hung up the phone and turned around "Problem Officers?" he asked with a smile
"Where's your partner?" Officer Daniels asked
"Partner? What partner?" Dean asked, playing dump
"So, who's this?" Officer Daniels asked pointing to Trevor
"I have no idea!" Dean replied "Look kid, get lost! Dean snapped at Trevor trying to make it look like they didn't know each other.
"Nice try." Officer Daniels said "The manager told us that ye two are together and that there is another male and a female with ye too."
Officer Daniels signalled the other officer to go into the motel room, they had come out of. Dean looked at Trevor giving his 'crap!' look.
Sam walked to the window after Dean's phone call, and looked out, he saw an officer heading towards the room. He stood back for a second to think of how he was gonna get out.
The other Officer came back out of the room; he walked over to Officer Daniels and whispered in his ear that the room was empty
"So, fake US Marshals, fake credit cards. You got anything real?" Officer Daniels asked
"My Boots" Dean replied with a smirk
Trevor couldn't help letting out a laugh.
"You think he's funny, huh?" Officer Daniels asked Trevor "Lets see how funny you find this…" he continued grabbing Dean's arm and signalling the other Officer to grab Trevor.
"You have the right to remain silent" he said slamming Dean against the hood of his car and handcuffing him, while his partner handcuffed Trevor.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sam was running all over the car park looking for Katie but he couldn't find her anywhere. After twenty minutes he finally found her crouched down in between two cars listening to her ipod.
"Katie, finally. I've been looking everywhere." Sam said to an oblivious Katie. "Hello? Katie?....." he said waving his hand in front of her face making her jump.
"What the….!" Katie shouted after getting a fright. "Jeez Sam, what you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?!"
"Dean and Trevor have been arrested."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. So me and you are gonna talk to this Mr. Welch and try and get this case solved" replied Sam
"Umm…no!" Katie said "I'm not doing another thing 'til we get Dean and Trev out."
"Katie, Dean said to get you and find dad, which means solve this case. Now I don't care if I have to carry you to the car 'cause we are going to talk to Mr. Welch. End of!" snapped Sam.
"Jeez, do you control Jess like this?" smiled Katie
"Shut up!" smiled Sam turning her around towards the car.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sam hopped back into the Impala after talking to Joseph Welch.
"So…Constance is buried behind their old house." Sam stated turning the ignition on.
"Okay. And what about the woman in white thing?" asked Katie
"Well he didn't admit it, but the way he reacted when I asked tells me yes." replied Sam.
"Okay, suppose we should head to the house?" suggested Katie
"Yeah. Make the call to the sheriff department now." ordered Sam
"Okay but this is pretty illegal for an up and coming lawyer now is!?" joked Katie
"Just make the call smart-ass." retorted Sam.
Things had some what gotten better between Sam and Katie, mainly because they were avoiding the subject completely.
Just over fifteen minutes after Katie called the sheriffs department Sam's phone rang.
Sam answered, putting it on loud speaker.
"Fake 911 call Sammy I don't know that's pretty illegal." Dean laughed into the phone.
"Well it wasn't me" laughed Sam "That was all your baby sister."
"You're welcome" Katie shouted into the phone. "Is Trev with you?"
"Yeah, we're at the phone box in front of the diner." Dean replied
"So anyway, we're on the way to the old Welch house, the husband says that's where she's buried." stated Sam matter of fact "So I'm thinking that's where dad would have gone….maybe he's there now…."
"Sammy would you shut up a sec…." Dean began "…dad's gone. He's left Jericho."
"How do you know?" Katie interrupted
"Because I have his journal." Dean replied
"He never goes anywhere without that thing." Sam stated
"Yeah well he did this time" Dean replied
"What does it say?" asked Katie
"Same old ex-marine crap, when he wants to let us where he's going…." Dean replied
"Coordinates" Sam interrupted
"Where to?" Katie asked
"I don't know." Dean replied
"I don't get. Why would dad just up and leave in the middle of a job? Dean what the hell is goin' on?" Sam asked
Suddenly Constance Welch appeared in front of the road and Sam drove right through her.
"Whoa…" Sam and Katie shouted.
"Sam? Katie? What's going on??...." Dean shouted down the phone, to no response.
"Where'd she go?" Katie whispered
"I don't know" Sam replied looking out the front window.
"Take me home…." came a voice from behind causing them both to flinch.
"No!" Sam snapped sternly
"Take me home…" said Constance again.
The car doors locked and it began moving on its own. Sam and Katie just looked at each other knowing there was nothing else they could do.
As the car came to a halt outside the Welch house Constance looked out the window with sadness and said "I can never go home…"
"Don't do this" pleaded Katie
"I can never go home…" Constance repeated.
"You're scarred to go home…" Sam stated as he turned around, but Constance disappeared.
Out of nowhere Constance appeared on Sam's lap. She held him down, knocking the seat back and hitting Katie, knocking her out.
"Katie!" Sam shouted
"Hold me. I'm so cold" Constance said
"You can't…kill me…I've never been unfaithful…aaagggghhh……" replied Sam
"You will be" whispered Constance
"Just hold" Constance said kissing him.
Sam reached out for the keys that were in the ignition, but suddenly Constance just disappeared. Sam looked around wondering where she had gone when all of a sudden Sam got this huge pain in his chest. He started screaming and opened his jacket to a print of a hand grabbing his chest, which then turned into Constance. Constance's image began flashing in front of him as he screamed in pain.
While Sam was screaming Dean and Trevor arrived on the scene. They saw Katie lying motionless by the passenger window. Dean indicated for Trevor to get her out of there once he shouted 'now.'
"NOW!" Dean roared as he began shooting at Constance.
"Okay c'mon Katie." Trevor whispered as he gently opened the passenger door and lifted Katie out and over to a safe place.
Constance's image flashed again from human form to skeleton until it disappeared.
Dean stopped shooting once she had gone.
"I'm taking you home" snarled as he darted up and speed towards the house in the car.
"Sam" Dean shouted shocked at what he was doing.
Katie began waking up at the sound of Dean shouting. She woke up on the ground, her head in Trevor's lap.
"What's going on?" she asked confused.
"Sammy just drove the Impala into the house" Trevor replied. "C'mon"
"What??" she asked really confused now as she followed Dean and Trevor into the house.
"Sam" they shouted in unison as they rushed in.
"You okay?" Dean asked.
"Yeah. I think" he replied.
"Can you move?" Trevor asked.
"Yeah. Help me" he replied reaching out his hand.
Dean grabbed his hand and pulled him out. All four of them were stood at the side of the Impala when they noticed Constance picking up a picture and then staring at them. She flung down the picture and threw a chest of drawers at them, pinning them to the car, unable to move. Suddenly the lights on the staircase came on and began flickering. Water began flowing down the stairs. Constance went to the bottom of the staircase and looked up to see the spirits of her two children. She turned away from them put they appeared in front of her. "You've come home to us Mommy" they said in unison as they hugged her. She screamed as this was the reason she couldn't go home because of her guilt over killing them. She disappeared into a puddle in the floor along with her children and the siblings were released from the grip of the chest of drawers.
They all stumbled over to the puddle.
"So this is where she drowned her kids" Trevor stated
"So that's why she couldn't go home, she was too scarred to face them." Katie continued.
"You found her weakness, nice work Sammy" Dean said tapping Sam on the chest where Constance had grabbed him.
"Aaaggghhh ha ha ha! Yeah wish I could say the same for you. What about you, what were you thinking shooting Casper by the the face? You freak." Sam retorted
"Saved your ass though" Dean smirked as he walked away. "And I'll tell you another thing, if you've screwed up my car, I'll kill you."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Back on the road to Stanford Sam was checking the coordinates their father had left while Katie was asleep on Trevor's shoulder in the backseat.
"Okay, so here's where dad went, it's called Blackwater Ridge, Colorado" Sam stated reading the map on his lap.
"Sounds charming. How far?" Trevor asked from the back.
"About six hundred miles" replied Sam
"If we shag ass we can make it by morning" Dean suggested
"Dean….I…a…" Sam began
"You're not going?" Dean asked shocked.
"The interview is in like ten hours. I gotta be there." Sam stated.
"Sammy?" Trevor questioned
"Trev, I gotta be there." Sam snapped
Trevor just gave Sam a look then turned on his ipod trying to ignore Sam. He was now beginning to feel the way Katie was, like they had to beg for his help with anything that the old Sam would have done in a heartbeat.
"Yeah. Whatever, I'll take you home." Dean said turning his attention back to the road.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dean pulled up just in front of Sam's apartment building. Katie was now awake and fully aware of what was going on and she wasn't happy about it. Sam hopped out of the Impala and came face to face, well almost as Trevor wasn't as tall as Sam, Trevor who was hopping into the front seat, as he always rode shot-gun when it was just the three of them.
"You'll call me if you find him?" Sam asked as he crouched down and looked in the passenger window.
"Like you'll care. You probably won't even answer the phone" Katie snapped.
"Katie, c'mon" Sam reasoned but she just put on her headphones and ignored him.
Dean just nodded his head, half agreeing with Katie's statement.
"Maybe I can meet up with you later, huh?" Sam suggested
"Yeah, alright" Dean agreed less than whole-heartedly.
"See ya round Sammy" Trevor said before sinking into the seat and laying his head back and closing his eyes. He didn't understand Sam not wanting to come with them but didn't want to leave things on a bad note either.
"Okay, see ye later" Sam said, mainly directed at Katie to see if she would respond but she didn't.
Dean turned the key in the ignition before calling after Sam. "Hey, we made a hell of a team back there" he stated.
"Yeah" Sam agreed as he watched Dean take off.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Jess? You home?" Sam called as he entered the apartment.
He was greeted by a plateful of cookies and a note that said 'Missed you, Love you.' As much as he loved being back with his family, he was glad to be home. He took a cookie and headed into the bedroom, where he heard the shower going. He flung himself down on the bed. He was exhausted; he had forgotten how much hunting can take it out of you. As he lay there he felt drops on his face and open his eyes to the image of Jess pinned to the ceiling.
"NO, noooooo!" he screamed.
Then her whole body burst into flames, just like his father had said about his mother.
"Jess, no!" he shouted repeatedly as Dean and Trevor broke down the front door. Dean had told Katie to stay in the car and for once she listened.
"SAM!" they shouted in unison as they made their way through the apartment. They were headed in the door of the bedroom when they stopped in their tracks at the sight of Jess on the ceiling.
"Sam! Sam!" Dean shouted springing into action, as Trevor froze.
Sam just lay on the bed screaming Jess' name, unable to do anything. Dean grabbed him and shoved him out the door grabbing Trevor along the way.
As the fire men contained the burning building Sam sat on the hood of the car with Katie and Trevor. Katie holding his arm, trying to comfort him. Dean was in the middle of the crowd trying to hear if there were any theories yet about what had happened. He turned his attention back to his siblings who were now at the trunk of the car. He walked over to them as Sam brought out a shot-gun and loaded it.
They exchanged glances as Sam said "We got work to do" slamming down the trunk.
a/n: So I wrote this because I always picture Sam and Dean with a younger brother and sister, at least in the first three seasons, so I thought I'd put it out there and see what reaction I get. At the moment it's just a one-time story just for the pilot, but if ye think I should continue let me know, if I do I will make the chapters a lot shorter as I know this one might have been too long and I won't always be sticking to the episodes as I have my own ideas. Or if you think I'm a complete idiot for writing this, then tell me, but please do it in a nice way 'cause I do have feelings.
Anyways hope you enjoyed it! Please R&R!
Tnx!...
