Character: Cassie from Season 1 ep Route 666
Cassie had always known that Dean wasn't hers and never could be. Even before he told her about the "job". She just knew that he wasn't hers to have.
It hurt when she realised this, very early on in their relationship, but she was determined to get whatever she could out of it. Even if it stung.
It wasn't that she didn't believe him that there was monsters out there, she already believed that. It was more that it became obvious to her then why she couldn't have him. Because of the job and his family. And she hated him for it and lashed out.
OoO
When her father died, Cassie knew she had to call him. It was the most painful phone call she had ever made, and would ever make. She had half-expected him to turn her down. For him to tell her to deal with it on her own.
But Dean wasn't like that and he came.
OoO
She liked his brother and the hatred for Sam that she had harbored since Dean had told her the truth, disappeared as soon as she saw his face.
The interaction between them told Cassie the truth. Nothing could get between the two brothers. Not her, not heaven, and not hell. Nothing could beat them at their own game. They would be together forever. And she hoped that she was right.
OoO
That one night with Dean had been the best night of her short life. It trumped the week or so that they had spent together a long time before.
Nothing ever came close to being like that night again.
OoO
When Cassie married David, she called Dean but there was no answer so she left a message and hoped he got it.
Dean, its Cassie. From Missouri? I just wanted to call to tell you that I'm getting married in a week. On the eighteenth… Um… that's all. I guess. I hope you and Sam are okay. Bye Dean.
OoO
A package had arrived for her three days later. It was from Dean. It was a silver chain with an amulet hanging off it. It was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and Cassie loved it.
Cassie, I got your message. Congratulations. I wish you the very best. The amulet will keep you safe. Dean
Cassie wore the necklace when she got married.
OoO
She had always understood that Dean wasn't hers and that knowledge hurt her. Even when she was married with two beautiful girls.
In reality, Dean had been her first and only love. She loved David, but she dreamt of Dean.
OoO
She wore the necklace everyday. No matter what anyone said. David said it was ugly. Her mother told her to move on. Her daughters that it was interesting. No one understood that it was her only connection to the man she loved.
OoO
She couldn't find it one morning and knew in her heart that David was responsible. She was in a rush and couldn't look for it any longer. She felt naked with it. The amulet will keep you safe…
It had kept her safe for years, surely one day wouldn't make a difference.
She never saw the truck coming. A great, big, black truck with its headlights on though it was the middle of the day.
Cyrus came back for one day, somehow…
OoO
Dean… help me…
OoO
Cassie breathed lightly. She blinked. He was standing next to her, smiling.
Cassie had always known that Dean wasn't hers and never could be.
