…20 years ago
" Dad …." Dean said stepping inside the house with the gun in his hands .
"It's ok Dean! We've got to late " His father answer with a sad look coming back downstairs . Dean let the gun down and place it back in his jacket looking behind from time to time making sure that Sammy is still in the car.
"Mommy?..." A voice could be heard out of nowhere . It was the voice of a little girl, she was scared and with tears in her eyes. John looked confused and Dean put out his gun again
" Mommy?!.." The voice could be heard again. It came from the little room under the stairs where the girl used to play hide and sick with his parents. Her mom hide her there as her father was fighting the vampire that killed them.
John grabbed the girl in his arms and hug her tight wiping her tears. Dean put his gun down again looking at his father not knowing what he should do next.
The girl was 4 years old . She had a long brown hair and big green eyes that were even more beautiful when she cries.
" What we do with her dad?" Dean look at his father and back at the girl
" For the start we get her out of here and then well see. Take her in the car with Sammy as I look around for her id's " John put the little girl down his arms and introduce her to his son to make the girl gain more confidence .
"Go with Dean. You're safe now " The girl nod , took Dean's hand and went with him at the car. Dean made sure that her and Sammy are ok in the backseat and get in the car next to his father waiting for him to come out . 10 minutes later John come out with some papers in his hand driving back to the motel .
John took the girls back in his arms and placed her in his bed making sure she get some rest and telling Dean to take care of her and Sam as he tried to find some relatives to take care of her. After few hours of research he found nothing . The girl had nobody , her parents moved out in Arizona when her mother lost her parents in a car accident and her father was adopted. Nobody knew who his parents were or if he has somebody else left .
He got stuck and with a 4 years old girl on his shoulders .
"Why don't we call the Child Protective Services? They could take care of her" Dean suddenly break the silence
"And tell them what? That a vampire killed her family and we found her because we're hunting the bastard? " Johns kind' lose his temper making Dean a bit nervous
"I'm gonn' take that vampire and you make sure that her and Sammy are ok until I come back. Do you hear me ? And her name is Danielle by the way " John took his jacket leaving the room and slamming the door behind him.
Dean look furious at the door and after at Sammy that was playing with his toys in his bed and after at her who was sleeping like an angel in John's bed. He had enough responsibility on his shoulders by taking care of Sammy and even like this he felt like failing sometimes.
Somehow he know that if John don't find a solution now he'll got stocked with Danielle too.
"Dean?! I'm hungry " Sam interrupted Dean's deepest thoughts . He shacked his had as "here we go again" and gave Sam some cereals and milk because was everything left in the room. John was to stuck with the hunt and forgot to buy something more.
As Sam was eating the little girl wake up and seat on the bed looking at Sam eating happily his dinner . She said nothing but her stomach speak for her . Hearing the noise Dean turned out his head to look at her . She was beautiful but because John forced him to take care of her too he felt like hating her every time he looked at her . He liked her because she was defenseless but he didn't want her in his life.
"You're hungry ?" He ask her from the table . Danielle shakes her head as an "yes". Dean look in his plate and back at her . There were no more cereals in the box than his . He rolled his eyes and helped Danielle come to the table giving her his dinner . Dean was starving but he said nothing making sure that both Sammy and Danielle went to sleep soon after that.
"Everything's alright ?" John come back at the motel with his clothes full of blood making Dean understand he killed the vampire and that now his father should give him the big news
"Yeah! They're asleep now " Dean answer still upset but he knew he couldn't argue with his father and deep down he knew the girl has no fault for the way his father makes him feel.
"Look Dean.." John placed a hand on Dean shoulder and looking him directly into his eyes talking more softly this time
" We have no place to let her so until we don't find someone to take care of her she'll have to come with us . She's 4 … we can't let her alone. "
Hearing that Dean didn't react at all . He nod to his father but inside he was mad, furious and all he wanted was to see her gone from his life. He didn't wanted her close him and he cursed the moment they found her . He couldn't think straight anymore filling his soul with hate. He was just a boy , not her father or brother. With Sammy asking questions all the time and sacrificing everything was more than enough.
The years passed and both Sam and Danielle grew, learning about the monsters under their bad but one thing didn't change with the years …. Dean's feelings for Danielle.
