I do not own Supernatural or any of it's characters and I only own my OC.
Story details:
Hello my lovely readers! Welcome to my new story :) This will be a sort of a prequel from my other story, A Hunter's Soul, focusing more on Ava's childhood with Bobby and the Winchesters. There won't really be an order to this story since the chapters will mostly consist of one shots and some episodes between seasons 1-3 (Before she meets her guardian angel Castiel.) Still though, I hope you guys enjoy it! Oh and the face claim I have for young Ava is Rowan Blanchard. So just imagine her when I'm doing one shoots with a young Ava.
Please R&R thanks! :)
P.S. If you haven't read my story A Hunter's Soul go read it. (:
"Your eyes, your eyes tell me everything." — She wants revenge
Chapter 1: The girl with the brown eyes
Sioux Falls, South Dakota
1998
Bobby never wanted kids. At least that was what he would tell himself. Growing up in an abuse household made him feel unworthy to be a father— to broken...to damaged. He was afraid that he would only bring unhappiness to that child's life. So he figured that if he stayed away from the topic of children, his wife Karen would forget about it. But he was wrong...so wrong that the two had a argument over it, leaving Karen feeling sorrow for all she wanted was a family. Unfortunately Bobby never got the chance to apologize for his mistake to her, because three days later she ended up getting possessed. Back then— before he became a hunter, he knew one way of getting rid of a demon and that was to kill them. Which is what he did. He was forced to kill her in order to get rid of demon that latched onto her.
After that he was heartbroken. His heart shattered into a million pieces. And the only thing that he could think of to fill up that empty hole he had in his heart was to hunt down monster, stopping them from hurting others like they hurt his wife. But no matter how many demons, poltergeists, werewolves, and vampires he hunted— nothing made the feeling of emptiness go away.
Over the years he met a lot of hunters. Rufus being one of them. He was the one who introduced him to the hunting world and taught him the proper way of exorcising demons. Another close friend who was in the hunting world was John Winchester. An old pal, who much like himself was trying his best to kill any living dangerous supernatural creature out there. The only difference between them was that John was doing it for revenge. Bobby learned though that John had two young boys— Dean and Sam Winchester. And Bobby himself became like a second father figure to them. He watched over them whenever John had to go on a case and couldn't take them with him. He got to spend time with them and he watched them grow up. Which for Bobby felt great, because it made the feeling of emptiness go away...at least for a while. And that made him think about his wife Karen...maybe she had been right. Maybe he would of been a good father— he definitely would of been better than his. But it was too late, his wife was dead...which meant he would never get the chance to be a father now.
But that all changed one night, in the year of 1991.
Bobby still remembered that night clearly. It had been a very quiet night in the Singer household, and he was doing research on some poltergeist case that was happening in a small town in Iowa. He was so into the research that he became startled when he heard his phone ring. He confused as to who would be calling in the middle of the night, but he answered it anyways.
And it was that very phone call, that ended up changing his life forever.
The phone call was from Miranda Faye, wife of Collin Faye. A young hunter that he had known for a few years now. Bobby and him had gone on several hunts together and even his wife Miranda had helped out quite a few times before as well. Bobby admired the couple, for they reminded him when he was married to Karen. They were filled with so much life and love.
Sadly, that phone call proved to be a bad one. Miranda called asking for help, saying they were being under attack by some demons. Bobby immediately became worried for them because he knew they had a baby girl who was only six months old— Ava Marie Faye.
So after he finished the phone call, he ran towards one of his cars and drove off in their direction— practicality racing to get there before anything happened to the young family.
Unfortunately when he did get there...it had already been to late. Once walking into the house he came face to face with the dead body of Collin and Miranda. A total complete disturbing sight to see—that the once lovely couple he knew...were now dead.
But he knew he couldn't stop, for he still needed to find the baby.
And he did find her. He found her in the upstairs closet in the couple's bedroom. He figured Miranda must of hidden her in there away from the demons. Speaking of demons...
He checked the whole house and found no signs of them. Meaning they had escaped...damn.
But the sudden little cry coming from Ava made Bobby look softly at the baby he was holding in his arms.
She was so tiny...so innocent. She had no idea to what had just happened to her mother and father and that made Bobby feel sad. She didn't deserve to have her family get killed...no one did.
Ava let out another whimper and opened her eyes making Bobby gasp lightly. He stared at them with wonderment. She had the warmest brownest eyes he has ever seen, reminding him of Miranda. She had her mothers eyes...and that made him think about the promise he had made to Miranda over the phone. That he would look after Ava, that he would take care of her, if anything were to happen to her or Collin. And he was going to make sure he went through with that promise— by God was he going to.
That was about seven years ago...
And since then Ava has been with him, raising her as if she were his own child. She was now seven years old and was growing up to be such an adventurous, curious girl. Not to mention she was a stubborn child as well. That made Bobby smile. Her stubbornness definitely came from Collin. But for her age the older hunter found it very adorable, not to mention funny as well.
Like today for example, instead of wanting to play with a few dolls he had gotten from Ellen to give to her, the young brunette wanted to help him with the cars outside. Which made him slightly confused, since little girls were suppose to play with dolls, right? Then again no matter how much he tried, she just didn't want to play with them. She said they were boring and she would much rather work with him outside, fixing the cars.
Such a puzzling little girl she was, but Bobby didn't mind not at all. Because when he asked why she wanted to, she gave him the most heartfelt earnest answers he has ever heard and gazed up at him with those brown eyes of hers.
"Because I want to be like you daddy."
And after hearing that from her, the feeling of emptiness he had felt for so long, had finally gone away.
She called him her dad. And even though he wasn't— not biologically anyways, because her real father would always be Collin. Bobby would make sure that he would be the closest father figure she would ever have, and treat her the same way that Collin would of done so. He would make sure to keep the promise he made to Miranda in his heart, and most importantly he would be the father that Karen would of wanted him to be.
This little brown eyed girl was his second chance, and he was going to make sure to protect her with all his life.
A/N: So what do you guys think? I really did have fun writing this. I mean the whole fluff towards the end was adorable! The idea of writing a story taking place before season four just kinda came random to me, but I'm liking it. And like I said in the beginning, the chapters won't be in an a exact order because I really wanted to write more scenes focusing on Ava's childhood with Bobby and the Winchesters boys when she was younger. I will add chapters when she's helping out the boys during cases between the seasons 1-3 though, because I mean who else wants to read more when Ava was a youngster? Right? :D but If you guys have any requests or ideas for one shots, please don't be shy and let me know :) Please R&R, thanks!
