The Gift
Then - 1997
"Hey Dean, hurry up otherwise we will be late for school." Sam cried as he gathered up his school books.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming Sammy. I don't understand why we have to go to this school anyway. After all we are only going to be here a couple of weeks." Dean groaned as he followed his younger brother out the door of the crummy motel room they were staying in.
"Because dad said so." Sam replied walking towards his brothers belover 1967 Chevy Impala.
"I know but why a school in Nebraska? I just don't understand why dad couldn't have just taken us to Bobby's while he was gone." Dean groaned again climbing into the drivers' seat of the Impala.
"You're only miserable because of what happened a few weeks ago in Indiana with Amanda." Sam taunted as he got in the passenger's side next to Dean.
"No I'm not. Don't be stupid. I just don't see why we have to keep going to different schools we should be out there hunting evil, not going to another stupid school." Dean defensively replied as he drove away.
"As you said, it's only going to be a couple of weeks. I'm sure we can get through it." Sam smiled reassuringly.
"Yeah I know. Anyway we're here now." Dean sighed in response pulling into the schools car park. "I'll meet you back here at four, okay?" He finished getting out of the Impala and walking towards the school.
"Yeah sure Dean, see you later." Sam replied with a smile running off towards the school.
The first part of the day passed relatively quickly; once the class introductions, taunting of the teacher and flirting with the cheerleaders had been successively completed that is. It was lunch before Dean knew it.
Dean however wasn't feeling practically hungry so he decided just to walk around campus and get some fresh air in his lungs before he attempted to get through the rest of the day.
As he was walking he noticed a group of five guys surrounding someone near one of the walls of the school. Curiosity getting the better of him he edged closer towards them to get a closer look.
"What's the matter sweetheart? Don't you like us?" He heard one of the larger guys say mockingly.
"Cat got your tongue?" He heard another one say.
Quietly edging closer, Dean peered over one of the guys shoulder to see who they were taunting. Against the wall stood a beautiful raven-black haired girl with the most piercing green eyes he had ever seen.
"Please leave me alone. I don't want any trouble." He heard her say quietly.
"Speak up sweetheart, we can't hear you." A fair haired boy spat as he pushed the girl.
"Hey! Why don't you knuckleheads leave her alone?" Dean suddenly shouted, startling the boys as they turned to face him with angry looks on their faces.
"What's it to you asswipe?" The larger boy shouted staring angrily at Dean.
"Yeah, why don't you mind your own business?" The fair haired boy glared as he grabbed the girl tightly.
"I'm sorry. I thought it was my business when you're harming innocent girls." Dean cockily replied.
"Hey why don't you back off and you won't lose your teeth." Another boy said, as they began to encircle Dean, forgetting about the girl they were previously taunting.
"I'm afraid it will be you who will be losing teeth if your mate there doesn't let the girl go." Dean replied with a smirk as he rose his fists ready to punch anyone who dare moved.
"Ha! I'd like to see you try. Tony you head off with the girl, we'll catch up to you in a bit, once we're finished with this jerk." The larger boy said over his shoulder, as they started advancing on Dean.
Before the boy known as Tony got a chance to reply he was suddenly head butted by the girl harshly in the nose, making him stumble back clutching his bloody nose.
The sudden retaliation from the girl stunned the group of boys and Dean saw his chance as he slammed his right fist into the stomach of the largest boy, winding him so hard that he fell to the ground with a thud.
The three other boys glanced at each other before running off towards the school; Tony and the large boy following close behind.
"Hey, are you alright? That must have hurt head butting him like that." Dean said walking towards the girl.
"No I'm okay. Listen thank you for defending me like that, you didn't have to." She replied with a small smile.
"Are you joking? I couldn't exactly walk by and leave those knuckleheads bothering you." Dean replied with a slight smirk.
"I could have handled them." The girl smiled kindly.
"I have no doubt you could," he replied with a laugh, "I'm Dean by the way." He smiled again extending his hands out in greeting.
"Hi Dean, pleasure to meet you. Thanks for your help but I best be heading off." She replied with a small smirk as she shook his hand, before turning and walking away slowly.
"Aren't you going tell me your name?" Dean asked after her.
"Not yet. Maybe one day. See you around Dean." She replied over her shoulder with a smile as she picked up pace and ran off.
"Girls. Never will understand them." Dean smiled to himself watching the girl run off into the distance.
Then – 2003
Dean sat quietly in the bar clutching his almost empty beer bottle, staring into nothing, thinking to himself.
Sam had just left for Stanford after having a huge argument with their dad.
The last thing their dad had said to Sam was "You walk out that door, don't bother coming back!" Sam had grabbed his bag and just left, although Dean had ran after him, Sam still walked off. He felt so defeated and had gone back to the safe house to talk reason to their father but he was gone, having left the keys to the Impala on the table. With both his dad and Sam gone things were well and truly screwed up.
Gulping down the last of his drink he ordered another and carried on staring off into the distance.
"Penny for your thoughts?" A soft voice asked from behind him, startling him slightly.
Turning around he caught sight of the owner of the voice. Raven black hair and a pair of familiar piercing green eyes stared back at him with a smile.
"You? What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in years, since…" Dean started his voice filled with surprise.
"Since the fight with that group of boys, I know. I'm sorry we didn't meet up again after, I had to leave town at short notice." She simply replied taking a seat next to a stunned Dean.
"What are you doing here now then?" Dean asked forgetting about the drink that he had just ordered.
"I have some business to take care of. How about you? You looked like you were in deep thought. Anything I can help with?" She asked kindly, taking Dean's drink and taking a large gulp and placing it back down in front of him.
"I don't even know your name and you're offering to help me? That seems kind of strange." Dean replied, smirking as he watched her drink his beer.
"What a girl can't offer to help the handsome stranger who saved her from nasty bullies? She cheekily smiled making direct eye contact with Dean.
"Handsome huh? He smirked in response.
"Hey watch it. Don't want to let your ego get too big, otherwise you won't get out the door." She laughed, receiving a slight glare from Dean.
"Anyway, you didn't answer my question." Dean asked a bit more forcefully.
"What question was that then?" She grinned taking a sip of Dean's beer again.
"The question I've been waiting six years for. Your name." He asked taking his beer from woman's hand.
"Come on. You can't mean to tell me, you've wondered what my name was since that day in Nebraska? Didn't think you would have remembered me." She replied in a slight mocking tone, still smiling.
"How could I forget the girl who head butted a guy in front of me. It was probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen." Dean laughed; raising the beer to his lips, realising the woman had drunk almost the whole thing.
"Ha. I suppose it was quite funny now I think about it. The names Thea." She replied with a smile.
"Thea? That's an unusual name. What is it French or something?" He responded staring at the woman before him.
"Latin actually. It means 'gift of god'. Although you name in French means Great Leader." She said casually looking away for a moment as she spoke.
"You remember my name?" Dean questioned still staring.
"Of course Dean. And I'm sure you will remember my name as well." She replied looking back at him and standing up.
"Where are you going?" Dean asked as she stood up.
"I have to go, sorry. It was lovely to see you again." She replied walking away.
"Oh and Dean don't be too hard on you dad and brother, I'm sure it will all sort itself out soon. Take care, see you around Dean." She finished as she walked out of the bar, closing the door behind her.
"Hey! Wait! How did you know about my dad and bro…?" He shouted after her, running out of the bar only to see the street empty with no sign of her anywhere.
"Thea? What the hell? Where did she go? Damn woman that's the second time she's run off like that." Dean angrily said to himself, walking back into the bar for another drink. As he sat drinking his beer he thought to himself when he would see that strange woman again, because for some unknown reason he knew deep down it would only be a matter of time before he saw Thea again.
