I know, I know. I should be working on RDSL but this has been nagging at the back of my head for a while and it won't leave me alone so here you go, my latest story: The One That Got Away.
Warning: This story is AU. It takes place during season 2 and John is alive.
Disclaimer: I do not own. That is all.
Prologue
Sam woke up feeling like today would be different.
It started like any other day though. He woke up everyone in The Roadhouse, helped Ellen make breakfast and washed the dishes. It was when he went to take out the trash that things changed. He dropped the bag into the bin and, as he turned to leave, a hand gripped his wrist, stopping him mid-motion. He turned back in time to catch the young woman as she collapsed.
He carried her inside and set her on the counter before he doused her in holy water. When she didn't react he called for Dean and Ellen knowing that his dad, Jo and Ash would be right behind them. Sam moved back, giving Ellen and Dean the space they needed to treat the stranger. The two of them had more first-aid training than all the others combined, years of patching up husband and father, respectively, paying off in moments like these. Ellen lifted the young woman's head slightly, enough to uncover her face to check for injuries there. Sam wasn't looking at that moment, his attention taken up by his dad's questions. He turned to glance at her for a second, just checking on their progress with her injuries, and had to do a double take.
He stood there, frozen, taking in her pale skin, the arch of her eyebrows, the aristocratic cut of her nose and chin, her downward-turned lips and the dark copper colour of her hair. He knew that if she opened her eyes, everyone would note their almond shape and the verdigris colour that had a tendency to take his breath away. He couldn't believe his eyes, but when Dean tore the rest of her shirt open he saw the one thing she never gave back to him, the necklace with a treble clef charm, the gift he hung on her neck on their one year anniversary.
"Oh my god... Ysabella?"
