My name is Claire Renee Winchester. I have a brother who is 3 years older than me, his name is Daniel. My dad's name is Dean and his job is hunting the paranormal along with my Uncle Sam. Who by the way has kids of his own Chris who is the age of my brother and Shawn who is one year younger than his brother. I get along great with my cousins as I do with my brother. I never knew my mum, and Dad never really told where she is or what happened. All I know is that she left a month after I was born. My brother was three at the time, but he can't remember anything because he was just a toddler. I'll tell you a little bit that I know about her, I know that she was 27 when gave birth to me; I know that her name was Bella and that her and Dad were in love, but they never married. That's pretty much all I know. Oh, and I have this picture of her. She has gorgeous long, light brow hair filled with curls going almost all the way to her hips. Her dark blue eyes stood out the most. If anyone looks at this picture, the first thing they look at is her eyes, because they truly are beautiful. Well that's pretty much all my family.
I don't even remember how young I was when Dad told me about the things he does for a 'job'. I just always knew it all my life. When I was three, my Dad started teaching Dan how to fight. He was always playing with knives around the house and I wanted to learn as well.
"Daddy, can you teach me too?"- asked 3 years old Claire while watching her Dad teaching Daniel how to shoot a gun.
"No Claire, you're too young!" – answered her Dad while getting frustrated with Claire always asking the same question.
So I just sat on the grass and jealousy watched my brother hit all the bottles perfectly in dead centre. We had a big property of land and we had a big house which I could tell was only built three or so years ago. I know that my Dad would never have enough money to afford the massive house with huge amount of land. So I thought that part had something to do with my mum. When you walk into the house, a hallway would be the place you're standing in. This place usually held different kinds of weapons just pretty much hanging on the wall until Sam saw it and encouraged dad that other people are going to walk in their house and the house needed to look like every other house. So, Sam put up some pictures of the family. It actually made the hallway look lighter and welcoming.. My house had a spare bedroom which is where my dad just kept all his weapons, notes and such. That room was always locked.. When I realised that I have been just looking around the house, I turned my attention back to my Dad and Dan, who weren't there anymore. I went to search for them and later on found them in the kitchen having a drink.
"Why can't I learn to fight?"- pouted Claire.
Dean picked Claire up and said:
"You will get your chance, you just need to wait a bit when you're a bit taller and don't carry that teddy everywhere you go"- joked Dean, and started to laugh along with her brother. Then he kissed her forehead and put Claire down.
"So what are you going to do now?"- asked Claire.
"How about a movie?" – asked Daniel.
Claire nodded and Daniel took her hand and dragged her to the couch.
"What do you want to watch Clairebear?"- asked Daniel.
"Aristocats, Aristocats!" – jumped Claire happily.
"That's a movie for babies!" – said Daniel laughing, "Dad's never going to let you go hunting with him if you keep watching this baby crap!" Claire crossed her arms and gave him a puppy dog look. Dan gave in of course and put on the Aristocats.
"Yay!" – yelled Claire.
Daniel and Claire set on the couch together. After an hour Claire was already sleeping with her head on Daniel's lap. Daniel kissed the top of her head and slowly moved away to find Dean. He walked from room to room until he finally found his father in the garage working on his baby of course which happens to be a 67 Chevy Impala. He really loves that car. I mean really, really loves it. As Daniel walked in he was thinking about the way Dean loved his car and became curious.
"Hey Dad, what is it about this car that you love it so much?"- asked Daniel.
"What are you kidding me?" – said Dean surprisingly. "It's the best damn car in the world."
"So how did you get it?"- asked Daniel.
"Well my Dad bought it and then when the time was right he passed it on to me." – explained Dean.
Daniel took the advantage of Dean talking about his father, which rarely happened to fill in some more missing pieces.
"What happened to grandma and grandpa?"
Dean stopped for a moment and just stared into the distance, not sure what to tell a 6 year old boy.
"Well my mum…."- Dean slightly paused then continued. "Died in a fire, and my dad well…."- Dean couldn't find it in him to break this to his son. "Why don't we go see what our princess is doing?"- asked Dean while trying to change the subject. Daniel gave a disappointed look, but didn't want to start anything.
Dean picked up his son and put him on his shoulders. When they walked over to the couch, they found Claire still sleeping. Daniel just walked away and sat at the computer, while Dean sat next to his daughter. Dean looked at Claire and started to think of the life he was giving his children while brushing her hair off her forehead. He really didn't want them to suffer the way he and Sam had to. So he decided to slow down on the whole hunting thing and maybe just try to live a kind of normal life. This is pretty much when everything changed. Of course he and Sam still went out hunting but not as often, ands he still taught his children about what's out there so they would know how to protect themselves. Hell, Dean even got a job at a local Auto-Repair store. Once a grease monkey, always a grease monkey is what he liked to call it and Uncle Sam became a lawyer which is what he intended to do initially. All Dean ever truly wanted was to have a normal family, and that's what he decided to create.
