My name is Charity Leyna Winchester, Let's just stuck with Charlie tho.. see I'm not very fond of my first name or my middle really.. It's definition means love, faith and hope, Little Angel. I didn't exactly have a normal child hood or up bringing... I was raised by my father I had Two older brother's well technical older My older brother Sam is actually my twin . He was just born a a week and three day's before me. Dad always joked about that I kicked him out. Our older brother Dean has always been a little to over protective of us but he feel's it's his job which is all still pretty normal. I even went to school like a normal kid.. Well kinda we were never really in one place for two long the longest I remember was just under a month. See the thing different about My family is were hunters. No not the let's go shoot a deer and make jerky kind of hunters. Were more in the things that go bump in the night monster's in you're closet. Things you thought were only real in the movie's type of hunter's Werewolf, Vampire's and most common Demon's. My brother's and I were raised of it. Sam and I weren't told till we were older around Seven year's. Dean on the other hand only a year after mom died that dad had started training him. Mom had died when Sam and I were still babies. Sam and I never hunted when we were young we were just taught to protect our self's I wasn't very good at it I had always been rather clumsy. When we were in our early teen's just starting high-school Dad started taking Dean out. While Sam and I stayed in school. It wasn't long after that Dad decided it was best to send me away to boarding school so I'd be safe. I thought it was ridicules. As soon as I graduated I wanted to be a hunter Dad on the other hand wasn't so admit on that idea So he sent me to live with my a man that was like a uncle to us. Bobby Singer I helped him with everything from fixing car's to helping hunter's who called. In my free time I trained and learned about everything I could and how to kill it. A Few year's ago.. everything changed.. Our father was killed. Dean sold his soul to save Sam the gate's of hell opened. Sam went awol Dean came back we found out Angel's are real we gained a pain in my ass named Castiel and others found out we had a half brother found out he wasn't actually alive anymore. Delt with a bunch of stuff Stopped the apocalypse. Sam got sent to hell Dean moved in with an ex and her kid I stayed with Bobby. Sam got resurrected didn't tell Dean or Me. Year later Sam told Dean we found out Sam came back soulless. Fought demon's got his soul back and here we are.
"Where's Charlie?" I heard Dean's voice echo from inside he didn't sound to pleased
"Outside" I heard Bobby say his voice sounded rather flat.
He probably had his head in a book, no surprise, since it was what he was usually doing when he was home. Footsteps echoed from the inside and began to increase in volume as they came closer. The sliding door slid open with a screech as it moved along the tracks which caused me to turn my attention to see both Dean and Sam; Dean stepping onto the deck while Sam towered behind him but neither looked very impressed.
"What's shaking Rocky and Bullwinkle?" I asked in a teasing tone to try and get them to lighten up.
"I did no such thing!" I countered defensively, standing up with a mixture of anger and wonderment of the accusation causing them both to rise their eyebrow.
Inside we heard Bobby chuckle clearly not as angry about it as Dean clearly was. Even Sam let a little smirk play onto his face.
"I did no such thing!" I countered defensively, standing up with a mixture of anger and wonderment of the accusation causing them both to rise their eyebrow.
"okay so maybe I did" I said shrugging my shoulders and squeezing by them
"why the hell would you do that?" asked Sam a little confused at it
"In his own words he's an ass wipe" I said cracking a joke
Bobby chuckled, remembering Cas's horrible insult to his older brother before he got sent to hell but Dean looked at him with a 'don't encourage her' look.
"So you hit him?" asked Sam trying to clear thing's up
"yeah what's the big deal he's an angel for god's sake it's not like it hurt him" I said rolling my eye's
I handed Bobby the mixture for the shotgun shells so he could have them after the time one blow up in my face. After that we decided it wasn't best for me to load the shells so I began to walk towards the fridge to grab a soda to drink.
"he has a black eye Charlie" Said Sam I slowly looked up at him and broke out laughing
"It's not funny Charlie!" Demanded Dean
"c'mon that's pretty funny I gave him a black eye." I said trying not to laugh
"Call him down here and apologizes." Dean said sternly
"uh no" I said like a teenage girl with an attitude problem
"Do it or you can't come on the next hunt," Dean threatened in a serious tone that meant he meant business.
"Sam!" I turned to my brother for backup
"sorry Char.." he said avoiding eye contact I groaned
Dean mumbled something quietly then looked around the room before speaking
"Hey, Cass! Charlie has something she wants to say to you!" Dean called out making me send him a glare of hatred.
"what is it" I head Castiel's voice say from behind me.
I jumped turning quickly I glared at him he stood there with his usual blank expression with a hint of questioning on it. He looked back and forth from my brothers to me a couple times and I looked from him to Dean causing Dean to clear his throat, telling me to get on with the apology.
"well what is it. I'm fighting a war you know" Cas said his voice almost robotic
It made my inside twinge and my left eye tick the way he had started to speak about his civil angel war was starting to irk me more and more and I hated it. He still held that cold demeanour when I had first met him but he had changed a lot that he seemed to actually hold a heart rather than an emotionless robot soldier doing as he was told but he turned into one form time to time. However, I couldn't tell my brother's that or even Bobby or even Cass; The emotionless features were something I had to hide from everyone and even I didn't like it. I was afraid and wondered if those lack of emotions would mean my family's demise.
"I'm sorry you're such ass burger!" I yelled at him before storming off.
"I don't get it.." I heard his voice say confused
"Good" I screamed storming outside
After turning down a few side trails I took a detour by passing my way through a few bushes until I found the familiar hollowed out tree. It held a form of comfort as I crawled into it; it was my safe haven.
The only one I ever told was my father. I had protection spells against everything including angels. I sat there letting my mind flood with thought's eventually drifting off to sleep
This place was unknown to others since the only other person I had told was my father. It protected the area from every creature. Including angels. So here I was, sitting in the hollow tree allowing my mind to be filled to the brim with the mixed emotions that eventually lulled me to sleep.
When I had awoke the sky was dark crawling out of the tree checking my phone it was Three am. I was going to be in shit But then again maybe it wasn't such a bad thing they'd be over the whole Cas thing Slowly, I began to make my way back to the house but just as I walked into the front door I was consumed in a pair of large arms pressing my body against theirs.
"where the hell have you been!" I heard Sam's voice bellow down to me as we parted
"I fell asleep where grumple stiltskin and Bobby?" I asked falling back onto the couch
"out looking for you worried sick" He said sitting down in the chair
"I'm a big girl you know." I told him rolling my eye's
"What's going on" Sam's voice was serious
"nothing" I told him rolling my eye's
"bullshit Charlie tell me what's going on"
"It's complicated and I don't want to talk about it!" I huffed while crossing my arms over my chest like a petulant child.
I wasn't lying and it was complicated but I didn't want to talk to it about. He wouldn't understand what I was going through. Even I didn't understand what it fully was He was one of the few people I trusted and cared for but for now the full truth would have to wait.
"try me" he said raising an eyebrow
"I just don't like the new Cass; it's too much like the old original," I admitted, causing Sam to sigh.
Fore Sam could even render a thought to say I got up and headed upstairs. I knew if I sat there longer he'd try to get more out of me but honestly I'm still trying to figure all that out myself still It shouldn't bother me as much as it dose that he's gone back to his old self. Before Sam could even conjure a thought to come from his lips I moved away from him to head upstairs.
I knew that if I sat there longer that he'd try to get me to talk more but I was still trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together myself. These missing pieces shouldn't bother me as much as is does but Cass returning to his old self wasn't as natural since I was getting used to his old body. As I reached for the door handle with my hand I felt a presence and power crackling around the air like static making the hairs on my arms stand up.
"Can we talk?" I heard Cass ask quietly behind me and I swore in my head that I thought I was safe for the night. I was wrong.
Turning around, I saw Cass standing there but instead of looking at me with his clueless yet stern face, he was looking at his shoes; how odd.
"what's up McDuck" I said leaning against the door with my arms folded
His head rose and a look of confusion filled his eye's as it spread across his face I rolled my eye's shaking my head at him
"I am not this McDuck you speak of" he said confused
"Just forget it Cass ,just say what you want so I can get into bed before Dean gets back and blows up at me too!" I snapped at Cass impatiently.
We stood there in silence for a moment Cass head back looking at the ground before he looked up at me again his face blank once again but a tiny glimmer of concern flickered in his eye's
"I feel.. I have done something wrong or something to upset you" Castiels eye's felt like they were piercing into my soul but worry filled them
"You haven't done anything wrong Castiel. You're just kinda robotic now.. like you were when we first met you" I told him honestly
"I don't understand.. Robotic?" he said confused at what I had said
"You're cold and hard with a lack of emotions like a statue," I told him, As I spoke feelings I hadn't let come out started to swirl around causing my eye's to have the stinging sensation you get before crying
"oh. Now I understand.. but there's something else isn't there" he quizzed
"I can sense it." his voice was flat again
"Goodbye Cas." I said going into my room and closing the door
He was right about there being something else. However, I wasn't sure if that something else was something I liked or wanted to continue to reject.
When I woke up in the morning all I could hear were the voices of my brother and Bobby echoing from the downstairs and into my room. The noise was somewhat loud but not enough to bring a reaction out of me to shout at them. Instead, I rolled onto my stomach and a groan escaped my lips before I pulled the blankets over my head. I was never a morning person and it wasn't long before I realized I wasn't sleeping anytime soon. Rolling out of bed, I slide to the floor in attempts to move about.
I sat there staring at the wall tiredly even though I had gotten enough sleep. However, as a dress I was not bouncy or energetic but more so I felt like a zombie with my slow pace. Rather than walk I crawled towards my bathroom, using the counter to pull myself up. I stretched letting out a loud yawn, undressed myself and opened the shower door.
I leaned in adjusting the water temperature testing it with my hands before turning to the mirror.
Gazing into the mirror, I noticed my reflection and a single twig poking out of my now bedhead ridden braids. I couldn't help the laughter that bubbled from my lips at my stupidity as I pulled the twig out and threw it in the garbage. Stripping myself from my clothes, I tossed them into the hamper before steeping into the shower and closing the door behind me. Warm water cascaded down my skin and the liquid almost instantaneously warmed my cool skin.
IAll my thoughts, troubles and stress just melted away as the water seemed to rinse them off my skin with ease; either that or it was my body unwinding like it usually did from nighttime tensions. I stood there mindlessly under the rushing water with my eyes shut and my head facing the faucet into the water streaming from the shower head. The sound of water pelting against the glass door and tile floors echoed throughout my ears and filled the room, silencing the noise of my brothers and Bobby from downstairs.
"May we finish our talk now that you're rested" I heard Cas's voice project over the water
Cranking my neck quickly towards the glass, my eyes were wide as I noticed Cas's figure standing outside the glass as if what he was doing was not inappropriate. I felt a red blush of anger and embarrassment slowly spread from my neck and then my face was flush as I was infuriated at the lack of privacy.
"Castiel get out of here right now you pervert!" I screamed furiously at him
"I'm sorry is this a bad time?" his voice was slightly confused
"Get out!" I screeched at him impatiently
Castiel's shape disappeared form the other side of the foggy glass but it didn't stop me from muttering to myself angrily. Shuttingg off the water, I slid open the door just enough to stick my head out and thankfully there was no sign of Castiel anywhere.. Stepping out onto the mat, I pulled a towel from the rack and dried myself off eough to slip into a pair of pjyama pants and the shirt I had taken from the clean basket. I pulled it over my head but frowned when I noticed it was too large to be mine. Shrugging my shoulders, I assumed it was Sam's shirt from the size.
Leaving the bathroom, I took out my braids so I could lightly brush my fingers through my damp, curly hair. I reached the bottom step and noticed Castiel standing in the middle of the living room with his eyes fixed on the stairs. Sam was sitting at the desk and seemed to be reading something important by the intensity of his gaze towards his computer while Dean stuffed his face.
I stormed up to Castiel annoyance and anger plastered on my face raising my hand I slapped him hard across the face. The sound of the slap rang through the room shocked him more than me since it was much louder than I assumed it would be. It felt like it would be something lame from a cheap kung foo film
"Charlie!" Dean's voice was muffled from the mouth full of bacon but you could hear the angry tone in it.
"It's okay Dean I believe I probably did something to deserve that" Cas said his voice unknowing as he tried to deafened my actions
I glared at him wide eyed he's was like a real life Pinocchio with less of a brain retreating my hand I bawled it into fist biting my lip; holding back the annoyance and other emotions flooding threw me I didn't say anything to him or anyone I just walked into the kitchen trying to avoid any kind of fight.
