FAMILY DON'T END WITH BLOOD

Chapter 1

The Vamp nest has been complicated than they assumed. Vampires kept coming at them from all sides & at the end they all looked like as if they have been crawled out of a blood bath. The return back to the Motel room was quite silent; clearly all of them were exhausted.

"Man, hunting isn't easy!" Dean told out loud when he crashed on to the motel room couch looking towards his brother Sam & his father John. All the tiredness aside, he was happy that they are hunting together after a long time.

"If it's easy, then everybody will be doing it!" Sam teased his brother with a smile on his face. "Dibbs on Shower" he quickly added to his comment. After a while, they were all clean but still exhausted & were watching the motel room's television when John's phone started ringing. He quickly answered the call as the Caller ID read "Bobby", the only man they all got closest to family.

"Hey Bobby, What's going on?" John responded with his usual greeting. He was silent for some time, clearly listening to every word that came from Bobby's mouth & suddenly he rose from his chair startling both Sam & Dean. "Bobby, are you sure that she is safe?" Both of them could clearly see that their father was panicking, something that they have seen very rarely in their lives. "Ok Bobby, I get it. Keep her safe & we will be on our way right now" John flipped his phone shut, closed his eyes for few seconds & turned to look at his sons.

Sam & Dean were both staring him waiting for an explanation. John didn't want to waste any time, "We got to get to Denver right now." He told the boys & made his way to pack his bag. Dean clearly was waiting for a better explanation than that & he immediately asked "Whoa Dad, whose there in Denver?" John stood still, struggling to find the words; he knew that his boys deserve to get an explanation & also knew that he made a mistake in keeping the truth from them for all this time. So once again he turned to face his sons & this time he took a deep breath & said "In Denver… we have a family that we never should have parted ways"

John sat down on the bed and tried to find the correct words to tell the biggest regret he had ever come to feel next to losing his Wife, Mary. "I met Mike Watson when I was in the Army, soon we became more than friends, we became brothers. When your mother died, I was left alone with a toddler & a baby who was only 6 months old. The loss, the pain & the confusion was too much that I naturally turned to the only other family I ever had. I took you both to his house, his wife Kate took you both in & looked after as her own. Their Son Adrian was 5 at that time, a little older than Dean & their daughter Anna was barely a month old. They already had enough on their hands, but they were happy to have you too."

"And during the time I was struggling to figure out who killed your mom & why, I left you both with Kate. Soon, Dean & Adrian were inseparable, just like how Mike & I were. And even at such a young age, we once caught you both making a pact to keep both Sam & Anna safe from all the bad people" John stopped for a second & smiled at Dean remembering how he has always been a great big brother.

"But when I finally found out, what really killed your mom and decided to go down this road; I didn't want to stick around them. I knew that it would put them in danger. So I took you both and walked away, I told them that I am moving upstate and I never looked back."

John sighed and paused for a moment; "Little did I know that I have already destroyed that family & was dragging them to hell with me." John wiped his face; the regret and sadness clearly visible in his face.

"Dad, what do you mean?" Sam broke the silence. Both of them were on the edges of their seats with their minds wondering on all things bad and evil. John took one more minute before he found the courage to reveal his sons one of his greatest regrets.

One Year ago...

John has been following the path of the Yellow Eyed Demon on his own. He didn't feel very comfortable to put his sons anywhere near this Demon until he knew his every move. John was interrogating the Demon he was tailing for the last couple of days. He always asked for Bobby's help in these kinds of situations; because Bobby was the best hunter he has ever known & most of all because Bobby was the only one who could keep him in line when his temper ran out.

"I am asking you for the last time, why is he heading towards Lawrence?" John's temper was running out, but he wanted the facts so badly. This is the only lead he had on the next move of the Yellow Eyed Demon. "What's in Lawrence for him?" John demanded again while splashing a bottle of holy water on the Demon tied up to the chair. "Give me what I want & I will end this torture & send you back to where you belong" John said looking the Demon in the eye.

John was about to splash another bottle of holy water, when the Demon screamed "Ok, Ok, I will give you what you want…He said he is going to Lawrence to collect something that he invested on…" John & Bobby exchanged a look with each other. "What does that even mean?" Bobby walked towards the Demon with a Knife in his hand. "Wait… wait…he wanted me to keep an eye on this girl & keep track of her whereabouts. That's all he wanted, he said to keep an eye on her & he didn't tell me why" He took a breath & continued "And I wasn't going to ask him anyway, we do whatever he asks, no questions"

"Ok… what's the name of this girl?" Bobby asked. "Anna… her name is Anna Jane Watson"

John came to an abrupt stop; he felt like an electric shock ran through his chest. Anna Watson, no it can't be, he clearly didn't hear it correctly. He looked at the Demon again trying his best to cover his fear "Where does this girl live? John asked even though in his heart he already knew the answer. The Demon's answer sent another shock through his heart. It was her… really her. John turned around & walked out of the room with a very confused Bobby following him. "John, what's going on?" Bobby asked when he saw the alarming look on John's face. "Do you know this girl?" Bobby urged.

"Yes Bobby, I know her. She is my God-daughter…"

It was a normal Sunday at the Watson Residence; Kate was busy in her back garden while Mike, Adriaan and Anna were cheering at the Baseball game. Their team was winning and it was turning out to be a blast. All three of them were so into the game when suddenly someone kicked their front door open. Both Mike and Adriaan jumped to their feet at the same time, while Adriaan quickly made his ground in front of Anna to cover her from whoever entered through that door.

In came three men without any hesitation and stared right back at Mike who demanded "Who the hell do you think you are?" The three men did nothing but grin at that question. And they slowly moved their stare to Anna who was standing behind her brother perplexed with fear. Adriaan being the very protective big brother didn't one bit like the look that these strangers are giving his little sister. "Get the hell out of this house" He yelled with rage while walking towards the man standing in front of him. His jaws tightened and fists clenched to punch these Assholes that broke in to his house.

Suddenly the man raised his hand and Adriaan stopped mid stride unable to move any further. "We are here for the girl. Give her to us and nobody will get hurt" the man in front casually announced.
Mike didn't want any other motivation to send his fist with all his might right in the middle of that man's face. While the punch made the man bleed, it didn't seem to have hurt him even a bit. "Yeah, I didn't think so either..." the man said and swayed both his hands against each other.

And then both Mike and Adriaan were forcefully smashed against the walls and pinned to it unable to move. Anna was left standing in the middle of the room without anyone to guard her from the three men now slowly walking towards her. She was confused, scared and wasn't able to understand what's going on. She looked at her father and brother helplessly, silently begging them to help her and started to step back until she banged herself on the wall.

"Who are you and WHAT do you want from me?" She gathered her courage. The man in the middle touched her cheek looked at her for what felt like an eternity and said "We got big plans for you girl, do as you are told and you won't get hurt."

"Take your bloody hands off her!" Adriaan screamed while trying to rid himself from whatever pinning him to the wall. The man looked at him and then back at Anna, "Although I am fairly certain that your father and your big brother aren't going to give you up without a fight" he paused and continued "That's very unfortunate for them..."

He then shook his head and signaled the other 2 men, who without a second's thought pulled out a knife from under their coats and stabbed Mike and Adriaan right in their hearts. Anna wanted to scream, but when she watched the life drains away from her father's and brother's faces, everything around her turned dark and she fell to the floor and into nothingness.

When John & Bobby rushed through the door, the men had dragged Kate from her back garden and had her pinned down to the floor. They were about to slit her throat, when a splash of holy water was thrown at them. They were caught unguarded and when they saw the face of John Winchester, they stood still and sent out a black smoke from their mouths. While the bodies of the men dropped to the floor, the black smoke found their way out through the open door.

"Bloody Demons!" Bobby cursed while getting down to his knees to check whether Kate is alive. John looked around the room, what he saw broke his heart, he saw his best friend & his brother dead on the floor; next to him was Adriaan, the boy once upon time used to play on his lap. In a corner was Anna, who he always cared for as his own daughter was lying on the floor. All of them gone, all of them dead because of him.

He made his way towards Anna and knelt down beside her and took her hand in his. Part of him wanted to cry & ask for their forgiveness, but he knew that nothing is going to rid him of this feeling. It took a while but, suddenly he felt a weak pulse from her hand. John screamed "Bobby, get in here. She is alive." The rest was all but a painful history; John had to watch Kate & Anna mourned for their losses, losses so unexpected that they were both in denial. One minute they were all happy and then in the next their family was in pieces.
