So, this follows on from my pre series sis fic which I am still doing but I hope y'all enjoy this story! Not really necessary to read but is helpful to understand relationships.
Mary Winchester carried her four year old son into his sibling's bedrooms so he could say goodnight to them. She flicked on the switch and was greeted by the two most angelic babies she had ever seen. Sam, named after her father who Mary would never forget and Jade, named after the engagement ring John gave her – the most beautiful stone she had ever seen.
She placed Dean on the ground and he ran, as fast as his little legs would carry him, over to the crib, sloppily kissing his sibling's foreheads. Sam smiled and giggled whilst Jade tried to reach out for him lovingly. Mary walked forward, smiling down at her little bundles of joy.
"Goodnight sweethearts" She muttered, stroking the hair from her children's foreheads.
"Hey Dean" A voice greeted behind them and Mary turned around, glad to see the sight of her well groomed husband. Mary watched as her son's face lit up and he ran into his dad's arms.
"Hey bud… so what do you think. Sammy and Jay ready to toss around a football with us yet?" John asked and Dean shook his head whilst laughing.
"No daddy" He exclaimed and Mary couldn't help but smile at the father and son interaction. She walked forward and stroked her husband's shoulder.
"You got him?" she asked and John nodded, smile lighting up his face at the sight of her.
"I got him" he confirmed and Mary walked from the room, her long nightgown trailing behind her. She vaguely heard John mutter "sweet dreams kids" before settling down into the comfort that was her bed.
Mary awoke to the sound of babies crying in her ear. She called out for John but he was not in his usual spot beside her. She groaned slightly, the sleep deprivation already taking its toll, especially with two babies, but she crawled out from under the covers and padded through to the nursery.
She entered through the doorway and already saw a figure standing against the cot and assumed it was John judging by the size and build.
"John, are the kids hungry?" She asked sleepily but John shushed her, she was glad he was helping out – took some of the weight of her shoulders. She walked back to her bedroom but noticed a light was flickering down the hallway.
Mary's heart raced slightly as she pictured the worst possible outcome but she shook that thought away. She had given that life away years ago, she was probably just nervous. She walked down the steps and gasped at the sight in front of her. John was asleep on the chair, his moth gaping slightly.
"No" she muttered, already sprinting up the stairs. "Jay, Sammy, Jay" She shouted, fear flooding her veins at the sight in front of her.
She screamed.
John awoke to his wife's screams. But by the time he reached his children's bedroom it was too late. The image he saw would forever haunt his mind – his wife, his beloved wife was pinned to the ceiling, red blood dripping from a long gash in her stomach.
"No, NO, NO, Mary" he shouted in desperation, deep within him already knowing it was too late. Angry flames then erupted from her and began to burn her alive. John didn't know what to do, his heart was crushing. He reached inside the cot and grabbed his two youngest and hauled them from the room, keeping them safe from the flames.
Dean's shouts reached his ears as his son stood alone in the middle of the hallway, confusion and terror evident in his green eyes.
"Dean, I need you to take your brother and sister outside right now, now Dean go" He said and carefully placed both his children in Dean's outstretched arms. Dean nodded and ran and John tried to help his wife but watched as the flames encircled her body.
Minutes or hours could've gone by but John couldn't care less. He sat atop the bonnet of a car, holding his children close to him and mourning for the love of his life, swearing to god he would catch whoever – or whatever – ruined his family.
Sam Winchester was reluctantly sitting on a bar stool, throwing back some drinks that were bound to do no good in the morning. Jessica sat next to him whilst his friend hovered around them, hyper as usual. They were discussing his grades and law schools.
"So how does it feel to be the golden boy of the family?" His friend, Mike asked, and Sam's thoughts drifted back to his, mostly, abandoned family.
"They don't know – except Jade of course and she was over the moon – but the rest don't. I prefer not to tell them" Sam explained
"Jade? The hot sister that visits from time to time that started dancing on the tables, that sister?" Mike asked and Sam playfully rolled his eyes but a smile began to play on his lips. That one time jade visited she began dancing on the tables and not long after that everyone joined her – she claimed that Sam needed to loosen up a little.
"Yes – I only have one sister and yes you can ask her out next time she visits" He said. He was really protective of his sister but knew she could date who she likes – she wasn't kid anymore and she would probably kick his ass if he even tried to hold her back, he had learnt that the hard way several times.
"Sweet" Mike exclaimed, walking back towards the bar, "More shots" He exclaimed, despite Sam and Jessica's protests.
They got home late that night, Sam was exhausted and soon fell into an easy sleep, and Jessica curled into his side. But Sam's sleep was interrupted by some loud crashed coming from towards the kitchen. He knew someone was in his apartment – he glanced a figure creeping around – and hid behind the wall, ready to pounce, unaware of the identity of the intruders.
Jade Winchester wasn't that keen into breaking into her brother's apartment but it had to be done if they were going to get his help. Dean, stealthy as ever, made a heck of a lot of noise. Jade rolled her eyes and walled straight to the fridge, peering inside for anything edible. Dean had refused to stop on the way here and Jade needed food to function or else it wouldn't end well for anybody. She grabbed a slice of pie, cherry pie her favourite, it was like Sam knew she was coming. By the time she made it back to the living room Sam had pinned Dean to the floor and was staring at his brother in shock before pulling him to his feet.
She gave a small smile, tucking her long brown hair behind her ears, her bright green eyes shining with amusement.
"Dean what the hell are you doing here?"
"Well, I was looking for a beer" Dean replied, smiling like a complete idiot. Jade decided to inject herself into the conversation and stepped forward.
"I was looking for pie" She stated, biting into the delicious food. That was her way of announcing herself. Sam tuned around in shock but soon a small smile etched its way onto his lips.
"Jade?" he asked, squinting through the darkness. Jade walked forward and eagerly grabbed Sam into a big hug, pulling his large frame down to hug him properly.
"Who else?" she retaliated, pulling away from the hug and looking Sam, over for any changes from the last time she had seen him which was about, oh – 3 months Jade counted.
"Sorry about the breaking and entering, Dean's idea, but we really need to talk to you Sammy" she explained, knowing that the Dean and Sam were both on shaky ground with each other.
"You have my number Jade, what's so urgent that you had to drive all the way out here for?" he asked, glancing from dean to Jade suspiciously.
"Have you two gotten into trouble or something because I don't know if I can…" he started to say but Jade interrupted him, knowing he had gotten the wrong end of the stick.
"No, no Sammy, nothing like that – you know we would never get caught – it's more of a… family thing" she said and Sam furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. But before he could say anything the light got flicked on and in appeared a sleepy looking Jess and Jade smiled at her. she really liked Jess, she was kind, funny, smart and Sam was hopelessly in love with her – she was a good friend.
"Sam, what's going on?" She asked and smiled when she saw Jade.
"Hey Jade" She greeted friendly, giving her a little wave.
"Jess – long-time no see, girl, how's it going?" Jade asked, momentarily forgetting that her brothers were standing right beside her.
"Not bad actually – so what're doing here in the middle of the night? Not burgling us I hope?" She teased and Jade laughed.
"Not quite that desperate yet, we were just here to steal Sam away for a while" Jade replied and Jessica finally looked toward Dean's direction.
"We? Is that Dean – you're brother?" She asked, smiling politely at Dean.
"The one and only. So you must be Jessica right?" Dean asked, strutting forward as if to impress the girl standing in front of him. Jade chuckled and rolled her eyes at Dean's antics.
"Yes, well it's nice to meet you Dean" She replied whilst Dean glanced down at the shirt she was wearing.
"I love the smurf's too and I gotta tell you… you are way outta my brother's league" Dean said flirtatiously and Jade and to laugh out loud at that.
"Dean, stop hitting on everything with legs, you'll scare her" She said, pulling him back by the arm and smirked as he stumbled over his feet.
"Well we gotta borrow your lover boy, talk about some family business but it was really nice to meet you" Dean said to Jess, winking as he walked back toward Sam who was throwing him death glares.
"No, whatever you gotta say to me you can say it in front of her" Sam stated, striding forward and pulling Jess close to him. Jade shared a nervous glance with Dean, knowing how awkward this situation was going to be.
"Well, Sam, the thing is… Dad hasn't been home in a few days" I said, hoping he would get the message and realise how urgent this situation is. Sam glanced down at Jade in confusion.
"So, that only means he's working late on a Miller-time shift, he'll no doubt stumble home sooner or later – he always does" Sam said confidently while Jessica looked a little left out.
"Dad's on a hunting trip" Dean stated, emphasising the 'hunting trip' part, "And he hasn't been home in few days" Dean said, staring at Sam dead in the eye. A look of realisation dawned on his face and he glanced down at Jade for confirmation. She nodded sadly, the wounds from her dad's departure still fresh in her mind.
"Jess, excuse us for a minute" Sam said "Me and my siblings have to go outside"
They were walking down the staircase from the apartment and had already given Sam a brief explanation of what they needed from him.
"First off, you can't just break in, middle of the night, and suddenly expect me to hit the road with you guys – I left that life for good and I can't go back" Sam protested
"Come on Sammy, dad is missing okay? We, Jade and I, both need your help to find him. I know you hate the guy's guts but he's still your dad" Dean replied and Jade winced, knowing that the comment was bound to make Sam a little miffed.
"It's not about that Dean… remember that poltergeist in Amherst? Or the devil's gates? He's always missing but he is always fine, why waste time looking when he's probably just stuck on a job" Sam retaliated and they all stopped at the bottom of the staircase. Jade, sensing Dean was about to reply angrily, piped in.
"Sam, he's been gone for a long time, a little longer than necessary so can you please just hear us out?" She pleaded, using her large puppy dog eyes. Sam glanced down at her before looking back toward Dean.
"So Sam, are you gonna come and help us or not?" Dean asked impatiently and Sam avoided staring at Jade, knowing she was trying to use her 'powers of persuasion' to convince him.
"I'm not" he said, a little less confidentially tha he had hoped.
"Why not Sam, a few days couldn't hurt" Jade said. Sam sighed , staring at the two of them determinedly.
"Because Jade, I swore I was done with hunting for good, you remember? I can't just jump back in whenever you guys ask me to, it doesn't work that way?" he said and Jade smiled slightly at Sam's stubbornness.
"It wasn't easy Sam, I'll give you that but it wasn't as bad as you're making it out to be" Dean scoffed, turning around and walking back out of the building but Sam didn't let him get that far.
"Yeah? When I said to dad I was scared of whatever the hell was in my closet he gave me a .45? What kind of dad does that?" he asked and Jade knew Dean was about to get mad.
"Okay maybe it wasn't the best idea in the world, I'll grant you that, but aren't you even slightly glad he did – I mean, with everything we know it's good to be a little cautious right?" she asked and Sam stared down at her.
"Jade I was nine – he wasn't supposed to do stuff like that, he was supposed to say, I dunno – 'don't be scared of the dark – things like that" Sam said and Jade could practically feel the eye roll coming from Dean by that point.
"Are you serious? If dad said 'don't be afraid of the dark that would've been a lie, you know – better than a lot of people - what's out there, he was only preparing you" Dean
"Yeah, I know but the way we grew up after mum was killed…" he said and Jade knew that if he finished that sentence it would not end well.
"Sam" She said warningly but he ignored her, completely focused on dean.
Wand dad's crazy obsession to find whatever the hell it was that killed her but we still haven't found the damn thing yet so we just kill everything? What's the point?" Sam exclaimed and even though Jade sometimes didn't like hunting she knew it was beneficial.
"But Sam we save a boat load of people doing it - surely that's worth something?" she said and Sam exhaled, shaking his head.
"Do you really think mom would have wanted this for us?" Sam asked but that was the final straw for Dean when he threw opens the door and stormed out into the night. She shared a glance with Sam, silent communication passing between them, and both walked out to retrieve their brother.
There were a few minutes of arguing and in that time Jade had had enough. She jumped off the hood of the impala and stood in front of Sam, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Sammy, you know I would never ask this of you if it wasn't important. I know how much you despise hunting but… dad is missing, he could be in real danger and despite how bad things are between you two I know you don't want him dead. Please Sammy, just give us a few days" She asked, throwing in a little pout to help her cause. Sam's expression softened as he stared down at her and she knew he couldn't out so her logic. A few days couldn't hurt right?
"I have to be back by Monday" he confessed and Jade's heart did a little dance inside her chest. She completely forgot about his interview and she would do whatever it takes to get him back in time.
"We can do that right? Get him back by Monday?" She asked Dean, no doubt looking like a little kid at Christmas. Dean stared down at her like she had grown an extra head, looking at the two of them like they were hiding a big secret.
But before Dean could ask, Sam interrupted.
"So, what was he hunting?" He asked, a look of defeat plastered on his face. Dean gave a cocky smile and Jade couldn't help but smile. They may be one of the worst dysfunctional families she had ever seen but it was good to be all together. The last time they stood together as siblings, a pack of three, was far too long ago.
Dean explained the case to Sam about how ten men had went missing just outside of Jericho and how they hadn't heard from him in over three weeks – yes he would disappear for days at a time but never for this long, never.
"And if that's not bad enough – we get this voicemail" dean said and played the recording that was cackling. Sam frowned; already beginning to use the hunter skills he was taught.
"You know there's E.V.P on that?" Sam asked and Jade smiled a full blown smile.
"Gold star for the scholar" She said, messing up Sam's hair. He gave a grudging smile.
"Yeah, well, when I slowed it down and ran it through a gold wave this is what I got" Dean said as he played the recording again. "You can never go home" A woman's voice echoed from the machine and it gave Jade the shivers.
"So Sam you coming or what? In almost two whole years I haven't asked you for a single thing." Dean said, and Jade could clearly see he was trying to guilt trip Sam.
Sam nodded grudgingly, "Okay but I have to be back by first thing Monday, if you promise me that I'll get back in time then I'll come with you guys" He said and Dean looked confused all over again.
Sam began to walk away but Dean called out to him.
"What's first thing Monday?" He asked and Sam turned around, sharing a nervous glance with Jade. Jade didn't know how Dean would take the news – she knew that he was still hoping for Sam to come back and how this little confession would break his heart no doubt.
"I have a, um, law school interview and it's basically my whole future on a plate. I can't miss it" Dean's face fell slightly as he looked at Sam.
"Okay" He said and Sam accepted that, walking back to his apartment to grab a few things.
"Did you know about that?" He asked and Jade gulped, not knowing how Dean would react.
"Yeah, for a few weeks now" she admitted but Dean said no more about the subject though he did look a little disappointed.
The next morning they were parked outside the gas station filling up the impala and getting some much needed food.
"Breakfast?" Deana asked, waving the food in his hands. Sam looked a little disgusted and shook his head but Jade leaned out the back window.
"Oh yes, gimme" She said and Dean laughed, throwing a bag of pretzels at her.
"Are you guys still running credit card scams to pay for all this stuff?" Sam asked, rummaging through Dean's cassette collection.
"Yeah, well, hunting ain't exactly a pro-ball career" dean said and Jade swallowed the mouthful of pretzels she was chamming on.
"And it's kinda like government funding – I just pretend that's how they pay us" Jade said and both her brothers stared at her.
Sam let a chuckle escape his lips, shaking his head in exasperation. "What names have you got on the cards anyhow?" he asked and Dean settled himself in the driving seat, starting up the car.
"Burt Aframian and his kids Hector and Maria" he replied and Jade cringed at the names. The names did not suit them one bit.
"Dude, I swear, you have got to update your cassette tape collection" Dean looked offended at Sam's little suggestion, jade too.
"Why?" they both asked in confusion and Sam looked between the pair.
"Well, for starters, they are cassette tapes, who has cassette tapes anymore? and it's the greatest hits of the mullet rock,That's outdated" He said and Jade leaned forward in her seat and Dean looked a little hurt at what Sam said.
"Well Sammy, there's one thing you've gotta learn traveling with Dean..." She said and Sam looked more than a little confused.
"Driver picks the music…" He said and Jade poked her head between her brothers "Shotgun shuts his cake hole" She laughed out settling back into her seat.
"Sammy is a chubby twelve year old, it's Sam" he said but Dean turned up the music, "Sorry Sammy, can't hear you the music is too loud" and with that Dean skidded off towards Jericho.
Dean pulled over at a bridge that was swarming with police officers; each had very serious expressions on their faces.
"Check it out guys" Dean said, pulling out the Federal Marshall badges he had stored in the glove department. He threw one back at Jade who caught it expertly and then dumped one on Sam's lap. "Let's go" he announced and Jade and Sam had no choice but to follow.
By the time they reached the bridge the officers were inspecting an abandoned car and discussing the missing boy, Troy, who was dating the deputy's daughter.
"You fella's had another one like this last month didn't you?" Dean asked, butting into their conversation and walking round, looking at the car.
"And who are you guys?" a dark skinned, middle aged officer asked suspiciously.
Jade and Dean flashed their badges while Sam just stood there, inspecting the scene.
"You three are a little young to be marshals are you not?" He asked, eying the three of them.
"I'm gonna take that as a compliment officer – you know women don't like to reveal their ages – but you did just have another one of these didn't you?" She asked and Dean gave her a sideways smile.
"Yes we did, about a mile up the road but we have had others before that over the years. He was a good kid – he didn't deserve this" The officer said sadly.
"Do you think there is any connection between he victims apart from the fact that they are all male?" Dean asked confidently and the officers warmed up to the three – seeing that they were only trying to help.
"Not that we can see – it seems fairly random" He replied and Sam came and stood next to Jade.
"So, have the department come up with any theories as to who could be doing this?" And the police officer shook his head, looking defeated.
"No – the best theory we have is a serial killer, there not uncommon in the states, or maybe some kind or kidnapping ring? We're not sure" He said and Jade sympathised with the man. His community was worried and there was nothing he could do.
"Well, that, is exactly the kind of crack police work I'd expect from you guys" dean said and both Sam and Jade glared at him. Sam stood on Dean's foot, smiling uneasily at the officers on front of him.
"Thank you for your time" he said, pulling Dean away "You've been of great help – we'll contact you if we have any other further queries" jade said, scuttling away to catch up with her brothers.
Dean glanced back and quickly hit Sam over the head and Jade had to restrain herself from laughing – she missed those brotherly moments.
"OW! What the hell was that for?"
"Why'd you have to step on my foot?
"Why do you have to talk to police like that?" Jade smiled and they all walked back to the car, narrowly avoiding some FBI agent's that were staring at the suspiciously.
About fifteen minutes later they were walking down the street and noticed a young woman putting up posters, a look of sadness plastered on her face.
"Hey guys – I think that's her" Jade said, pointing over to the woman. The three of the crossed the street and approached the woman who they believed was Amy.
"Hi, you must be Amy" Dean said and the she looked him over, debating whether or not to trust him.
"Yes I am – why?" she asked, hugging the missing posters closer to her chest.
"Hi Amy, I'm jade and these are my brother – Dean and Sam – were Troy's cousins from up in Alaska, we came here as soon as we heard about his disappearance. How are you holding up?" Jade inquired.
"As good as to be expected I guess – how come I've never heard of you before?" she asked, walking towards a little café and the siblings followed her.
"Well that's Troy I guess, were not really around much – haven't seen him since he was ten – but family is still family you know" Dean said as they followed Amy.
Another girl, around the same age walked up to them and comforted Amy. She introduced herself as Rachel and they all sat down in the café together. After a few minutes of talking the information they got was Troy was on the phone to Amy just before he disappeared and that Amy acquired a necklace that she believed to be devil worshipping to piss off her parents. But that was not all, Amy and Rachel revealed there was a local legend that a girl killed herself of Centennial bridge and she kills men that offers her a lift. Things just got a lot more interesting.
Sam, Dean and Jade were at the local library searching for the woman they believed to be the spirit haunting the town. Dean searched the computer but it came up with zero results, he sighed angrily so Jade leaned over his shoulder and typed in "centennial bridge murder" and again it came up with no results.
Sam laughed at his sibling's identical bitch faces and shoved Dean's chair away from him so he went flying backwards.
"God Sammy – you're a control freak" he exclaimed but let Sam type in what he was wanting.
"Violent death equals murderous spirit right? But maybe were looking at it wrong, maybe this woman wasn't murdered" Sam explained and typed in "suicide on centennial". It produced a newspaper article from the year 1981.
"Smarty pants" she muttered whilst Dean rolled his eyes "geek boy" He said but he still read the article, his eyes sweeping back and forth.
"Okay so Constance welch, 24 years old, jumps off bridge after the death of her two children – apparently they drowned in the bath tub" Jade read out, feeling incredibly sorry for that women. It was no excuse to kill but… it must've been hard on her, Jade thought.
"Hmmm, there's a picture of her husband, Joseph Welch, standing next to the exact same bridge where Troy died" Sam said and when Jade looked closely she recognised the bridge.
"That bridge look familiar to you?" Dean asked, already knowing the answer. Sam and Jade nodded and the siblings all shared a look – they were going to go investigate.
Jade and her brothers walked along the length of the bridge, immediately knowing that this bridge was where it all started.
"Yup – this is definitely the bridge where Constance took the swan dive. This is where we should start looking" Jade said, looking down at the formidable water beneath her. She shivered slightly as she looked down.
"Do you guys think that dad is actually here or are we on some wild goose chase?" Sam asked uncertainly and Jade looked towards Dean for answers. She thought the same thing as Sam.
"Dad was chasing this story and we're chasing him, it makes sense that he would be here – or at least was here" Dean said. Jade looked down at the ground. She didn't always like her dad but she would always love him, it hurt her to not know if he was alright.
"So Dean, what are we going to do now? If dad's not here then what are out next steps?" Jade asked and Dean gave her shoulder a little nudge.
"We'll find him, don't worry. May take a while but we'll find him I promise" he stated and Jade felt relief sweep over her. Dean would always know what to do.
"Dean, I really need to be back by…"
"By Monday – I heard you the first time Sammy. You're really serious about this aren't you. You're gonna live this apple pie life with your girl is that it?" Dean questioned, facing Sam with a hint of disappointment plastered on his face.
"I guess so, why?" Sam asked and Jade could feel the tension building, anger was bubbling to the surface.
"Jessica doesn't know the truth about you does she? That's not healthy Sam and you know it – sooner or later you're gonna have to come to terms with who you really are – a hunter, no one else" dean stated and Jade couldn't' help but sigh angrily. She always had a bit of a temper on her and watching her brother's fight was both aggravating and saddening.
"Dean I am not going to have this life okay?" Sam shouted and Dean rolled his eyes.
"You have a responsibility…"
"Oh yeah? To who? To dad and his hell bent mission? Me and Jade didn't even know mom, hell we don't even know what she looks like if it wasn't for the pictures, we can't even remember the sound of her voice. She's gone Dean and we can't get her back" Sam screamed and Jade's heart clenched. Fair enough she never knew her mom but she still loved her deeply
Dean grabbed Sam around the collar and pushed him against the railing of the bridge.
"Don't you dare speak about mom like that" Dean growled and Sam at least had the decency to look ashamed of himself.
"For the love of god, STOP IT RIGHT NOW" Jade shouted, roughly pulling her brothers apart "We've hardly been together for five frickin' minutes and you're already fighting. You both have got to get over your problems so we can solve this DAMN CASE" she cursed, breathing heavily after her rant.
"Uh jade, is that Constance?" Sam asked, pointing behind her. She turned around just in time to see a figure dressed in all white fall from the bridge and raced forward but saw no sign of Constance anywhere. Just then the impala's engine roared to life.
"Dean – who the hell is driving the impala?" Jade asked and gulped when Dean pulled the keys from his pocket.
The lights almost blinded them as the car skidded forward. Dean was the first to react, turning around and running down the stretch of the bridge. Sam and jade not far behind him. Jade's hand wound into Sam's as the car got closer to them. So the siblings did the only thing they could – they flung themselves over the bridge just in time to avoid getting hit by their beloved car.
Jade missed the metal beam that Sam had landed on but she reached out desperately for anything to hold on to. Her fingers laced around the edge of another metal bean about two feet below the one she wanted and she dangled there about fifteen feet above the water.
"Jade, Dean, guys?" Sam called out desperately. Jade watched as his shaggy head popped out above her and she smiled cheekily at him.
"Hey Sammy" She greeted, casually waving with the hand she wasn't dangling from.
"You okay?"
"Oh yes, just exceptional kind sir" She replied sarcastically, a small smile etched on her lips.
"How about you dean-o, how you holding up down there?" she called out, hearing the sound of water splashing.
"Peachy" He said, raising his hands in an A-Okay sign. Sam couldn't help but chuckle.
"Jade, do you need a hand or…" He started to say but bit his tongue when she wrapped her feet around the beam, flipping her body over it and gracefully standing up, climbing up on to the same beam he was on.
"No thanks, I think I got it" She said, already climbing back up the bridge like, well, a monkey.
They met up with Dean a few minutes later and he was covered in mud from head to toe. Jade and Sam teased him for a bit before driving back to town to get a motel room as Dean was still incredibly filthy.
The walked into reception and ordered a room for a few nights. The guy behind the desk looked at the credit card they handed over and frowned.
"You guys having some sort of reunion or something?" he asked and all the siblings frowned.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked and Jade was already trying to figure out what the guy was talking about.
"Another middle aged guy, same surname, bought a room here for over a month" the guy explained. Jade bit her lip and leaned across the desk, smiling encouragingly.
"Could you show us the room please, that's out dad – been trying to call him for days but he's that bad at technology he hasn't turned the stupid thing on" She giggled and the guy nodded, rather nervously, and showed them to the room.
The door swung open and inside the room was strewn with papers from the case, old food and some ingredients for warding off the supernatural.
"Dad was obviously very worried about something" Jade said, staring at the cats eyes with interest.
"Hey guys look at this; dad's got all the information on the victims. All of them white males and all seem relatively good" Dean said confusion evident in his voice.
"Well they must have something in common" Sam said, reading over all the information on the wall. Jade read some more articles and noticed one named the 'woman in white'
"Dad figured it out. Look here, the woman in white – it looks exactly like the bitch that possessed the car Dean" She called out and felt Dean's presence behind her, reading the article over her shoulder.
"Sly dogs" he muttered "Dad might've already destroyed it if he knew what it was"
"Maybe, but she could have other weaknesses" Sam suggested.
"Dad would need to make sure though – he wouldn't leave an open case, the only problem is it doesn't say where she's buried" Jade said, feeling annoyed at the lack of information.
"Okay then, you guys see if you could find where he lives now while I get presentable" dean said and Jade glanced at how filthy Dean was and had to supress her giggles.
"Wait up, um, what I said before, about mom and dad – I'm sorry" Sam confessed looking first at Dean than at Jade. Jade nodded, knowing that Sam didn't really mean what he said, he was just talking before thinking.
"Hey – no chick flick moments Sammy" dean said, holding up his hand. Both jade and Sam laughed.
"Alright jerk" – "Bitch" dean replied. Jade shook her head in exasperation "Asshat and dick" she said – it had been so long since they had called each other these names she couldn't resist. Sammy was the asshat whereas Dean was the dick.
"Princess" Sam said, smirking in her direction and Dean walked toward the bathroom throwing a quick "Hoe" over his shoulder followed by a bark of laughter. They had been calling each other these names for fun for years – just a part of their unique relationship.
Jade looked back towards Sam and noticed he was staring at a picture sadly. On closer inspection she noticed that it was a picture of her, Sam, Dean and their dad when they were growing up. She shared a small smile with Sam, having an inkling to what he must be feeling.
Jade watched as Sam listened to his voicemail messages, she presumed they were from Jessica and Jade knew he was missing her. he soon shut the phone though when Dean emerged from the bathroom, squeaky clean.
"I'm starving to death over here so I'm gonna go and grab us something to eat, want anything?" He asked, Sam shook his head, staring longingly at his phone. Jade eagerly nodded.
"Yes please – anything edible" She said, glancing up from the case files in front of her. Dean disappeared out the door leaving the room in a comfortable silence.
Barely a minute had passed when Sam's phone began ringing shrilly. Jade glanced up and judging by Sam's body language she knew it wasn't Jessica.
"What? What about you?" Sam asked and shortly after that he shut the phone off and stood up from the bed.
"Come on Jay – we gotta go" He said, walking towards the window at the back of the room.
"What? Why? What about Dean?" She asked and allowed Sam to pull her to her feet.
"Police guys have got him, we'll find him later but we gotta leave now" And Jade didn't question him anymore when she saw a couple of officers stride towards their motel room.
"Okay – were gone" She said, scrambling through the window after her brother.
Jade and Sam decided to go and talk to Constance Welch's husband to see if they could find some answers. Unfortunately the whole 'interview' didn't end up going too well when they found out their dad had questioned him as well which then led to some rather personal questions about Joseph's affairs which resulted in them getting kicked off the land. So much for that.
Sam and Jade where sitting in the impala, thinking about what their next moves would be.
"We need to get Dean Outta jail" Jade demanded, worrying about her brother.
"Yeah - but how? We can't exactly just barge in, guns a blazing and demand for him to be released" Sam said and Jade saw the gears turning inside his head.
"No, but we can provide him with his own opportunity to escape" Jade suggested, a devilish smile on her lips.
"What are you thinking?" he asked, but instead of answering Jade pulled her cell phone from her pocket and dialled 911 letting it ring a few times before thrusting it into Sam's hands so he had no choice but to take the call.
"Welcome back Sammy" She declared happily and just after she said that the operator on the other end answered their call.
"Hello? 991, what is your emergency?" She asked and Jade had to stifle her laughs at Sam's affronted facial expression.
Ten minutes later Sam's phone rang and he answered it and Jade knew it was Dean by Sam's relieved face.
"Hey dean. Yeah, and you can thank Jade for that, you're welcome. Now we are dealing with the woman in white because her husband did cheat on her, and her husband said she is buried behind her old house which I'm sure would've been dad's first stop." There was pause until Sam continued speaking "But I just can't figure out why dad hasn't destroyed the corpse yet?" another pause "What? Are you sure?" A more prolonged pause which got Jade interested "he never goes anywhere without that thing" By now she had had enough of second guessing what was going on so she asked Sam for the phone and he handed it over to her when he nearly skidded off the road.
"Hey Dean, it's Jade. What's going on? What about dad?" she asked, feeling worry spread through her veins.
"He's not here, I've found his journal and there is some coordinates in it" he explained, sounding like he was out of breath from running.
"Coordinates? To where?" she asked, confused.
"Not sure yet but…" He started to say but Jade interrupted him with a screech at Sam to brake. He obeyed her almost immediately and she jolted forwards, placing her hands in front of her on the dashboard to stop herself from going through the windscreen. She saw the woman in white in the middle of the road but now she was gone.
She glanced sideways at Sam and saw how he was breathing deeply, staring out the windows of the impala. She heard Dean shouting at them over the phone in desperation and was about to answer him when she the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. She flung around in her seat and saw the woman of white sitting there, her pale skin illuminating the car.
"Take me home" She demanded, flicking her hand and throwing Jade from the car before locking Sam in it. Jade landed with a painful grunt, her back slamming into the hard concrete but, thankfully, didn't hit her head that hard. She growled threateningly and stood up but it was too late. The impala was already zooming off into the distance
"Sam. SAM" she screamed and ran after him, knowing now what Constance wanted. She kept saying 'take me home' all she wanted was to return home – so that's where Jade began to sprint too, praying to god that nothing would happen to her brother.
After fifteen minutes of constant running she was completely out of breath. She reached Constance's old house just in time to see Sam driving the impala through the front of the house and Dean running after him.
Her eyes went wide at that sight and she ran as fast as her legs would allow her, running up to the impala and helping Dean get Sam out of the car. Soon though, Constance waved her hand and a desk came hurtling towards the three siblings and pinned them up against the car.
"BITCH" Jade screamed, struggling to get free. Constance ignored her curse as her attention was distracted by the little children – a boy and a girl – that looked to Jade like ghosts. There was a look of fear on Constance's face as she stared at the children who, Jade assumed, was her dead children.
"You've come home to us mommy" They said in unison and the kids rushed Constance and she disappeared in a surge of energy, her screams filling the air. Once she was gone the siblings pushed the desk away from them and Jade immediately began inspecting Sam's injuries. There was a bit of blood and a few cuts on his chest but nothing that they couldn't sort out.
"Well done Sammy – you managed to find her weak spot" Dean congratulated him, slapping him lightly on the back.
"Yup, good work Sammy. Killing her kids must've prevented her from coming back here – she was terrified of them" Jade said, rubbing her lower back.
Dean noticed this and strode forward, frowning at her in concern.
"You okay Jade?" He asked, and both her brother's beady eyes bore into her.
"Yup – just dandy, now let's get the hell outta here. This place is giving me the heebie jeebies" she declared, inspecting the impala for any damage.
Dean chuckled at her and helped her in inspecting his beloved car.
"But if you screwed up my car Sammy – I'm gonna have to kill you" he threatened playfully while Sam and Jade laughed at his response – even though he was most likely being serious.
The siblings were on the journey back to Stanford and Sam as sitting in the front seat, a flashlight shining on the map placed across his legs.
"So the coordinates that dad gave us point to Black water Bridge and it's in Colorado"
"What the hell could possibly be there that needs taking care of?" Jade asked, reading the map over her brother's shoulder.
"Not sure but it sounds charming enough – how far is it?" As soon as Dean said those words Jade stopped breathing and looked at Sam nervously, knowing that Dean was just going to get disappointed all over again.
"About six hundred miles but, Dean… I can't go – I need to be back in less than ten hours" He said, sounding rather apologetic. Jade squeezed his shoulder supportively and leant back in her seat – knowing they needed a brother's moment, knowing that Sam needed Dean to understand.
"Yeah, yeah whatever – I'll take you home" He said sadly, keeping his eyes trained on the road. Sam shut off his flashlight and they drove in an uncomfortable silence.
Dean pulled up outside of Stanford and Sam pulled his large frame from the car, leaning back to talk to them.
"Promise me you'll call me when you find him?" Sam asked and jade nodded her head, jumping over the seat so she was now sitting in the passenger seat – ignoring Dean's glare.
"Of course Sammy – you'll be the first person we call" She assured him.
"So… maybe I can meet up with you guys later?" he asked nervously and Dean finally cracked a smile, the first smile in over four hours.
"Yeah, all right" Sam kissed Jade on the forehead and turned around to stride away but Dean called out to him, halting him in his walk.
"We all made a hell of a team back there you know?" Jade smiled and Sam nodded in agreement.
"We sure did" And with that Dean drove off, leaving Sam staring after his siblings.
The impala had only made it down the road for less than a mile when Jade got a dreaded feeling in the pit of her stomach. She knew something was terribly wrong. She twisted around in her seat and watched in horror as her brother's apartment suddenly went up in flames.
She screeched at dean to turn around and he obeyed her orders without question, his eyes turning wild at the sight of his brother's apartment.
The two siblings raced into the apartment, feeling the angry hot flames on their skin. Dean burst open the bedroom door and Jade couldn't believe the sight in front of her. Jessica was pinned to the s] ceiling, her whole body covered in flames and Sam was screaming out for her, his face one of intense grief. Jade and Dean ran forward and forcefully pulled Sam from the bed and yanked him from the room – ignoring his pleas for Jessica.
Jade stopped at the doorway and just stared at Jessica for a few seconds even though she knew it was wrong. Jessica was her friend and she didn't deserve this. This was hoe her own mum died and it physically pained her to watch this tragic event. She blinked away the tears and ran from the room just as the ceiling collapsed and the flames engulfed the place she was standing just a few seconds before.
The firemen was putting the fire out, jets of water steaming from the hoses. Jade couldn't watch it anymore, so she turned around and walked back towards her brothers. Sam was loading up the trunk, his tear stained face was grubby and rimmed with red.
"We've got work to do" He announced determinedly, glancing at his siblings before slamming the trunk shut.
So… hope it was okay! nearly 8000 words! I promise I will finish this story – I've even started planning as far as season 4 but I would like to move through season 1 quickly! I did the pilot to establish relationships, etc, but I may miss out some non-important episodes.
PLEASE REVIEW – it means a lot! Thank you!
