Chapter 1: Don't Steal the Impala Ever
"I'm not fucking going and that's all there is to it," thirteen year old Kaelyn Winchester screamed at her older brother.
"You're going, Dad said he'd meet us at Bobby's in a week or so," Dean said knowing full well why Kae didn't want to go, but it didn't stop him from landing a hard swat for language.
"I didn't drink any blood, so I shouldn't have to be locked up in that stupid room!" Kae yelled rubbing her butt.
"You're going, so you can pack your bags or you can stand in the corner with a sore ass, while I do it for ya," Dean yelled back.
"Fine," Kae said storming towards her room before slamming the door hard. She wasn't going and her brother was going to be in for one hell of a surprise in a few minutes.
Dean swore when he heard the distinctive sound of the Impala starting up. He looked at the table where he threw his keys and thought,
'She wouldn't dare, which was replaced quickly with, fuck, she did.'
Dean ran out the door just in time to see the Impala pulling out of the motel driveway. Dean contemplated stealing a car and chasing after her, but decided that wasn't the best move right now. He felt the best thing to do was to wait until she calmed down and came back. He was calling her and if she didn't answer he was upgrading her spanking from using the brush to using the paddle. That's when a terrifying thought ran through his mind, what if she actually ran away? Sammy ran away at thirteen and she was as stubborn as Sammy on any given day, if not worse.
Kae turned the ringer off on her phone knowing it would be ringing off the hook. She knew she wasn't technically breaking the rule of never turning off her cell, but she also knew that excuse would never fly with Dean or dad. She knew exactly where she was going and it was just as safe there as Bobby's demon proof panic room, John made sure of it.
Kae pulled into the apartment complex about two in the morning and that's when a pit formed in the bottom of her stomach. Sammy had been known to spank her and she wasn't sure if he would for driving close to five hours to see him in the middle night. Kae knocked on the door and was greeted by a beautiful blond woman.
"Hey Jess, is Sammy here?" Kae asked quietly.
"Kaelyn, what are you doing here? Do you know what time it is?" Jess asked in shock. She couldn't believe the thirteen year old was there.
"About two am and I'm sorry for stopping by so late, but I drove a really long way to see him," Kae said.
"Kae?" Sam asked hearing the all too familiar voice as he walked towards the door.
Kae didn't wait she ran full force into Sammy. God she missed him.
"How'd you get here? Where's Dean? Where's Dad?"
"Dad's working out of town and Dean, well he's where I left him because his car isn't available right now," Kae said smiling wickedly.
"You drove here, in Dean's car?" Sam asked incredulously.
"Come on Sammy, I've been driving since I was eight and I can talk my way out of ticket blindfolded," Kae said ignoring the second part of the question completely.
"Your thirteen kiddo and Dad's rules about driving were completely broken if you drove here. Not to mention how pissed Dean has to be right now," Sam said.
"Like that's ever stopped us," Kae said smiling.
"Kaelyn, call Dean right now," Sam said firmly.
"Sammy, will you please hear me out first?" Kae asked using her best puppy dog eyes.
Jess looked Sam and wondered what he was going to do. The thirteen year old just drove who knows how many hours and had probably scared the rest of Sam's family to death. Jess also knew that Sam hadn't had the easiest life growing up. In fact Sam didn't even talk to his father anymore.
"Alright, but you're calling Dean no matter what you say. I'm betting he's going out of his mind right now."
"Yeah, about his car," Kae pouted.
"No about you," Sam said running his hand down the side of her face.
"Jess, can I please talk to my brother alone?"
"Sure, night Sam. Night Kae," Jess said walking over and kissing Sam.
"I'll be in in a little while," Sam said giving her a kiss before letting her hand go.
The minute the door was shut Sam looked at Kae and said,
"Come on let's sit down."
Kae sat down and Sam sat next to her. Sam put his arm around her and asked,
"What's going on kiddo?"
"They showed up at my school again and I sorta got rid of them before telling Dean what was going on," Kae said. They never said the word demon when Jess might hear them. Sam didn't want her to know about the supernatural ever.
"Kaelyn, what in the hell were you thinking?" Sam asked pushing her out so he could look into her eyes.
"That I'd end up in Bobby's stupid dungeon if Dad and Dean found out that they showed up again. We've moved three times in the past four months because they keep showing up. Dad said we'd have to head up to Bobby's for a while to get me off Azazel's radar if they showed up in the next town. Well I didn't want to go to Bobby's, so I've been scanning almost every day, just for a few seconds and two days ago I felt them. It wasn't Meg, Tom, or Azazel, so I just got rid of them and called it a day. There was a little scuffle when I did it, so I was suspended from school for a few days."
"I take it you didn't tell Dean or Dad about being suspended?"
"Hell no, because of everything I knew Dean would do a check," Kae said.
"So what happened today?"
"Dean caught me at home. He was supposed to be working, but he got off early. I told him I was in a fight and was suspended."
"Did he beat your ass?"
"No, he walked out the door and went to the school," Kae whined.
"What happened when he came back?"
"He told me to pack because we were leaving in an hour."
"He found sulfur?"
"That would be my bet and I guess on the way home he called Dad to make arrangements for us to spend time at Bobby's."
"And you decided to come here?"
"You remember how it was. Dad would totally freak just thinking about Azazel getting his hands on us. Hell your argument about you going to college revolved around that yellow-eyed bastard."
"I remember how it was, but this wasn't safe kiddo."
"You ran away at thirteen," Kae tried.
"Yeah and my ass was roasted by Dad and then Dean a few days later."
"You were just being a brat back then though. I have a valid reason for running away."
"I don't think Dad and Dean will see it that way."
"Probably not and I think I made matters worse by borrowing Dean's car."
"I think Dean and Dad will call it stealing."
"So are you on my side?"
"I'm always on your side Kae, but I don't know how much help I'm going to be right now. First, I don't agree with your stealing Dean's car and driving here. I know you know how to drive but it's still dangerous. It's also stealing and you know I hate it when you break the law. Second, we agreed never to fight the demons alone."
"Sammy, I'm stronger now. You've been gone for almost two years and between punishment lines and training, I'm…"
"You've been training on your own," Sam growled.
"I'm talking about Dad's training, Sammy," Kae said rolling her eyes.
"Kaelyn, don't bullshit me. Are you using your abilities without permission?"
"Every once in a while but I have to practice and you know it. Our time is almost up."
"We have a few more years and a lot's changed since then."
"I don't care Sammy. I'm not chancing it."
"Kae, I know you're scared…"
"You should be scared too. Your abilities haven't even developed yet. How are you going to defeat them without me? I have to practice a little bit every day to keep us safe. I'm really good…"
"Damn it Kaelyn, you promised me the night I left."
"Yeah and you left me after promising that you never would."
"I call you almost every day and you've visited me more than once. I needed this and I hope you'll take your chance and go to college too."
"Not until he's dead. I could give a shit about a normal life and you know it."
"But you should kiddo. You're only thirteen and your entire life has revolved around the family business."
"Yeah, because of a fucking thing that's after you too Sammy. I'd be dead or worse if Dad hadn't taken me in and you know it."
"I know that Kae, and it's one of the best days of all of our lives. I couldn't imagine my life without you," Sam said giving her a hug.
"Can I stay here?"
"That's up to Dean."
"Why is it up to Dean?" Kae pouted.
"His watch kiddo and it's time to call him."
"You call Dean. He won't yell at you," Kae tried.
"Kaelyn, call Dean right now and put it on speaker phone, I know all of your tricks."
"Fine," Kae said taking the phone out of her pocket and looking at it for the first time in hours. Thirty-six missed calls, a new record. She dialed the number and said brightly, "Hi Dean, did ya miss me?"
"Where in the hell are you and where the fuck is my car?" Dean demanded.
Sam winced at the sound of his brother's angry voice. Kae was so dead.
"Stanford and your car's safe and sound in the parking lot at Sammy's apartment," Kae said.
"What do you mean you're at Stanford?"
"I drove the Impala to see Sammy. I told you I wasn't going to Bobby's and I meant it," Kae said like it was the most natural thing to do in the world.
"Kaelyn, your ass better be in the next town over or at one of your friends," Dean grumbled.
"I just told where I am. I wouldn't lie about it. Wanna say hi to Sammy?"
"I swear to god Kaelyn, I'm going to kill you after I tell Dad."
"This is your fucking fault, I told you…OW."
"You're in the wrong here, kiddo," Sam said after landing a hard swat.
Kae glared at Sammy. Who was he to say she was in the wrong?
"Dad and Dean are being totally ridiculous, so I'm not wrong Sammy."
"Kae, they're trying to keep you safe."
"If that's the truth your ass shouldn't be here either."
"Still on the phone."
"And," Kae snapped.
"And you should be talking to me, not arguing with Sammy. You know what, forget it. I'll have Dad call you."
"No, please," Kae said backing down completely.
"Why? Scared he'll follow through with the two weeks of bare bottom spankings with the brush and you not being allowed to get your license until you're eighteen?" Dean taunted. He knew it was childish, but he was beyond pissed at his little sister right now.
"Dean, that's just mean. You know I hate the bunker and I didn't drink any blood, plus you…"
"That's enough Kaelyn," Dean snapped knowing exactly what she was about to say and the world of shit they'd be in if Sam knew what kind of fortress he was living in. "Get your ass in the corner, so I can talk to Sammy."
"Dean," Kae whined.
"Kaelyn, follow my orders or deal with Dad. He's going to know you took off, but I just might forget to mention the grand theft auto."
Kae didn't say another word she just walked over to the corner. Sam had to smile at the pouting form. God he missed her, no matter how bratty she could be.
"Hey Dean."
"Beat her ass for me, please Sammy," Dean begged.
Sam had to laugh. He knew Kae drove Dean to distraction more times than not. Hell the kid drove him to distraction too.
"I'll get right on that, Dean. So are you coming to get her or should I send her back?"
"Guess I need to come and get the brat. I swear you were never this much trouble when you were a kid."
"Thanks, I guess."
"Alright, I'm getting in a car right now. I should be there sometime tomorrow morning. Kaelyn, you better pray I calm down before I get there."
"Sammy will save me," Kae said smiling.
"Nope, Sammy's going to spank you the minute we get off the phone," Dean said.
Kae looked over at Sam and decided that Dean might be right about that.
Sam hung up the phone and decided he would leave her in the corner for another twenty minutes. He knew how much Kae hated standing in the corner.
"Sammy, can I get out of the corner, please?" Kae begged.
"You can stand there for twenty minutes or I can beat your ass for driving here. Your choice."
"The corner's fine," Kae sighed, turning around.
Jess walked into the room, wondering what was taking Sam so long and smiled at the little girl standing in the corner.
"Give her a break Sam," Jess whispered.
"I didn't put her in the corner, I'm just enforcing it," Sam said pulling her into a kiss.
"I really don't want to hear you make out with your girlfriend," Kae said.
"Wow, you must love the corner because the clock just reset."
"Sammy, I'm tired," Kae whined.
Jess gave her boyfriend a look that told him he better let the little girl out of the corner. Sam whispered into his girlfriend's ear,
"Let me make up the couch and I'll spring her."
"Alright, it's almost three and she needs to get some sleep."
Jess walked out of the room and Sam made up the couch for Kae before saying,
"Kaelyn, come here."
Kae walked over a little leery of what Sam was going to do. Sam pulled her onto his lap and into a hug.
"Kae, I know you're scared and I know you think the fight is going to be all on you, but it isn't. I'll get my abilities and we'll kill the son of a bitch together, I promise. But you need to stop using your abilities on your own, I've been saying this for years and you keep ignoring me. What do I have to do to make you stop?"
"Sammy, please don't be mad at me," Kae begged with her eyes filling up with tears. She hated when Sam was mad at her, he wasn't only her brother, but her best friend. She could always talk to him and tell him things that John and Dean would get pissed about. He helped her get out of trouble more times than not. The only thing Sam ever really got mad about was school.
"Kae, I'm not mad or disappointed, I'm worried. You know what can happen when you use your abilities too much and you always push yourself to the extreme. The only thing I agree with Dad on is that you never should use your abilities without supervision."
"I'm careful and I know when to stop. You always made me stop long before I was ready and I'm using your guidelines."
"Yeah, I made you stop by swatting you," Sam teased and hugged her tighter.
"And getting swatted by your big ass mitts would make you stop too," Kae said smiling before adding, "think you can sway Dean against spanking me?"
"Nope, I love you too much to let you get away with stealing a car and driving, by the way how many hours did you drive tonight."
"About five."
"Dean limit or speed limit?"
"Do I really have to answer that?" Kae whined. For years Kae and Sam made jokes about the difference between the actual speed limit and Dean limit. Dean limit was always at least twenty miles an hour above the posted speed limit. Dean lost the Impala numerous times for driving Dean limit.
"Dean limit. Damn it Kaelyn, you could have been killed. You can barely see above the damn dashboard."
"If I use a buster I can," Kae teased earning her a hard swat from Sam.
"Kaelyn, quit kidding around. Did you at least keep the Impala under ninety?"
"Part of the trip, but I averaged between 85 and 90 miles per hour," Kae said honestly.
"You get to tell Dean that one."
"NO WAY! He'll go ballistic."
"Yep and he needs to."
"Can I tell him after the spanking?"
"Nope, full disclosure and nothing less."
"Ok, so I'll just remind him that he drives Dean limit and I'm just following his poor example."
"You really want him to tell Dad about this, don't you?"
"No," Kae pouted.
"Then own up to it and take your licks. You stole the man's car, better yet his baby, and you left him high and dry in some…Where did you come from?"
"Just south of Grant's Path, Oregon."
Sam huffed and put his head in his hands. Maybe he should give her a warm up, but he knew he couldn't. He missed her and Dean every day and just having her here made him extremely happy. This punishment was all on Dean.
"Get in bed kiddo."
"Don't you mean get on the couch?" Kae teased, making Sam pull her into a hard hug.
"Go to sleep, you have Dean to deal with in the morning. I love you."
"Love ya too, Sammy."
Dean pulled up in front of Sammy's apartment building in record time and saw his baby parked and looking fine. At least the kid hadn't crashed her. He walked up to the apartment and knocked on the door. Sam answered and gave his brother a huge hug.
"Alright, where's the brat," Dean said after returning the hug.
"Hiding in the bathroom, she ran in there the minute she heard you knocking on the door," Sam said smiling.
"Where's your girl?"
"She went to class. I decided to hang around for the family drama."
"Kae tell you about Grant's Path?"
"Yep, you should've known she wouldn't go to Bobby's without a fight," Sam said.
"I know that Sammy, but Azazel's on her hard right now. Have you noticed anything yet?"
"No, but I'm going to keep an eye out."
"Kae might want to help with that," Dean warned.
"But she's not going to. I want her ass at Bobby's as much as you do."
"Well it'll take the two of us to get her there and you know it."
"We could always tie and gag her."
"She's better at getting out of bindings than the both of us together," Dean laughed. God he missed his brother. Battling Kae was always easier when Sam was around. Sure she loved Dean, but Sam and Kae had a special connection after all of the shit Azazel had put them through over the years.
Kae heard the laughter and decided it was safe to come out. Dean glared at her the minute he saw her.
"Sorry Dean," Kae said looking down and trying to sound contrite. It was hard because she really wasn't sorry about any of this. She wanted to see Sammy and driving the Impala was an added bonus.
"Not as sorry as you're going to be in a few seconds. Get your ass over here," Dean growled.
"Dean…"
"One…"
"Dean really, it isn't that bad. The car's fine and I got here safely," Kae tried and started walking backwards after seeing how angry her brother was.
"Two…Let me get to three and I'm taking off my belt," Dean warned.
Kae made it over to Dean's side the second those words left his mouth.
"SIT."
"I'm not a…ow," Kae started only to be cut off by a swift swat by Dean.
"In case you didn't notice Kaelyn, I'm pissed off beyond belief. So if I were you I would quit being a smartass. I want to know exactly what in the hell you were thinking and I don't want to hear that you didn't want to go to Bobby's, because that's complete bullshit and you know it."
"If Azazel is after me, then he's after Sammy. The first person I suspected was Jess. Sorry Sammy, but it makes sense."
"Did you read her?" Sam asked.
"Yes, but it was just a quick glance, I promise," Kae said her eyes pleading.
"You could have known if she was or wasn't a demon without reading her and you know it."
"She might have known who the demon is and…"
"You still shouldn't have done it."
"I know and I'm sorry, but…"
"Kaelyn, you're not allowed to use your abilities on humans ever and you sure as hell aren't allowed to use them on my girlfriend," Sam said harshly.
"I'm sorry, but it was to keep you safe. I know he has someone here posing as one of your friends. I think I need to hang around and meet some of them to make sure."
"You have to be kidding me. Not only do you want me to forget the fact that you read my girlfriend, you want it to be open season on my friends? You're out of your fucking mind."
"What if one of them is a demon? It wouldn't be the first time," Kae argued.
Dean watched his younger siblings argue the point back and forth. Dean tried everything in his power not to laugh, but those two made it almost impossible. He knew Kae wasn't done and he knew Sam was going to get pissed; finally Sam would snap and swat Kae maybe shutting her up probably not. He could see Kae's point and Sam's point. Like Kae, he would love to make sure Sam was safe, but he knew Kae would push herself too hard and to make matters worse, she could lead the demons straight to them.
"Doesn't matter. Azazel isn't trying to kidnap me or he would have done it by now. I don't salt my doors or windows ever. I don't have a devil's trap anywhere in my apartment, so I have nothing to worry about."
Kae tried hard not to laugh at this statement. Sammy's apartment was a fortress against the supernatural, John had ensured that. The apartment was almost as secure as Bobby's bunker.
Dean decided to step in before Kae let it slip what their dad had done. No matter how much Sam would know it was out of his dad's love, he would be pissed that the man messed with in his life even a little bit. Sam wanted a normal life and he would feel that John was taking that away from him.
"Kaelyn, quit arguing with Sammy. You're the one in the wrong here, so let's get this over with. I want to be on the road to Bobby's before dinner."
"Awe, come on Dean, I had to come. Sammy could be in danger," Kae whined.
"Too bad. You know better than to steal my baby and take off. I called you over thirty times and you didn't even bother to answer me once," Dean said angrily.
"I left it on, so I didn't break the no turning off the cell phone rule," Kae tried.
"You fucking know the rule is to answer the damn thing."
"Sorry I didn't answer it, but I didn't want to stop and I know you would've made me feel guilty enough that I would have," Kae admitted.
"How long did it take you to get here?" Dean asked and Kae groaned. She looked a Sammy hoping he would let her lie about this, but the look he shot her made her say,
"Five hours."
"FIVE HOURS? That means you were going over 70. What's the rule whenever you drive my baby? Besides that you only drive her in an emergency."
"Well it was an emergency. I needed to make sure Sammy was safe. I did break the no going over 70 rule a little bit."
"A LITTLE BIT! You had to average 85 to get here that fast. I drove 90 and I made it in a little less than five hours. Damn it Kaelyn, you could have been killed," Dean yelled.
"I wasn't, so does that help?"
"Get your ass in the corner."
"Come on Dean."
"Now Kaelyn! I have to call dad."
"You're not telling him I stole your car are you?" Kae asked in a panic.
"Come on Dean, don't tell him," Sam chimed in. Sure he was pissed at his sister, but he remembered getting that punishment more than once in his life and how much it sucked.
"I'm not going to. My ass whipping plus his will be more than enough and I'm sure he's going to ground you big time for this."
"Dad's going to punish me more than enough, so you really don't have to spank me," Kae tried.
"Nope, you stole my baby. Get your ass in the corner now. I'm not telling you again."
Kae walked over to the corner and prayed that Dean would stay in the room, but knew he wouldn't. She also hoped that she wouldn't have to talk to her Dad anytime soon, but also knew that was wishful thinking.
Dean walked into Sam's kitchen and dialed his dad's number.
"Winchester."
"Hey Dad, I got Kae."
"She was at Sammy's?"
"Yes sir."
"How'd she get there?"
"Bus," Dean said a little too quickly.
"Yeah right, only if that bus was a 1967 black Chevy Impala."
"I'm taking care of it."
"It's your car, but you better use the paddle."
"Trust me I am."
"Are you staying at your brother's for a few days?"
"I don't know. What do you think I should do?"
"Let her scan Sammy's friends."
"She already scanned Jess and to put it mildly, Sammy's pissed."
"I'm sure he is. Just make sure they're safe and try not to mess with your brother's life too much."
"Yes sir. Do you want to talk to her?"
"Yep."
Dean walked back into the living room and handed Kae the phone indicating that she could have the entire conversation in the corner, because she wasn't getting out of it anytime soon.
"Hi Dad."
"What do you have to say for yourself?"
"I didn't want to go to Bobby's and I miss Sammy," Kae tried.
"I mean, why in the hell would you exorcise demons without any help?"
"Because you would've sent me to Bobby's stupid bunker. I knew I could do it because just last week Dean made me copy an exorcism for second level demons. Plus it wasn't Azazel, Meg, or Tom, so I was safe."
"Kaelyn, you weren't safe. What if something went wrong? You know you always have to have backup on a hunt. How many times do I have to tell you that this is not only your fight, but our fight as well?"
"If it's our fight, why I'm the only one who keeps getting the short end of the stick? Sammy gets to have his freedom, but every time the fucking demons show up, you want to lock me away. I love hanging with Bobby and all, but I don't want to go into that stupid bunker. I didn't drink blood so I shouldn't have to go."
"Kae, I know you hate the bunker…"
"Dad it wasn't just the bunker, I read them and they have someone here," Kae said glad she was standing the corner. Her brothers could read her like a book and would know she was lying. She wasn't sure if her Dad would know she was lying, she didn't do it very often and her dad tended to listen to her about Sammy being in danger.
John was quiet for a few moments and Kae was starting to believe that he was going to tell her to get her ass in the Impala and her spanking was doubled for lying, but he said,
"Let me talk to Dean. And Kaelyn, you and I are going to have a serious conversation about using your abilities, exorcising demons on your own, and taking off without permission. I promise you won't enjoy the conversation one bit."
"Yes, sir. Hey Dad."
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry I made you worry, but I'm not sorry that I came here."
"That's my Kae," John said shaking his head, "Give your brother the phone and keep your ass in the corner until he tells you otherwise."
"Yes sir. Dean."
Dean walked over and took the phone, Kae started to turn around put Dean just pointed at the corner. With a huff she turned and faced the corner again.
"So?" Dean asked.
"Ask Sammy if she can read his friends. If he says no, do it anyway."
"Yes, sir," Dean said trying not to laugh. Sam was going to be pissed, but John always had that effect on his little brother.
"Alright, take care of them and don't go easy on your sister."
"I won't," Dean said and hung up the phone.
Dean walked into the kitchen leaving Kae hanging in the corner.
"So?" Sam asked, but already knew the answer.
"Do you mind if we stay a couple of days?"
"You'll stay no matter what I say. At least if I say yes I can have some control over Kae," Sam sighed. He wanted to stay out of the family business and like always he was getting pulled back in. "I want to talk to Kae for a few minutes, alone."
"Alright, I need to get something out of the car and I want to see if she hit anything," Dean said.
Kae heard her brothers talking and knew exactly what Dean wanted to get out of the car and unfortunately or fortunately depending how you look at it, she ditched it three rest stops before she got to Sammy's. Now as she stood in the corner, she didn't think that had been the best idea.
Sam walked in and saw her squirming and almost laughed. He would bet money that she ditched the paddle and Dean was going to be twice as mad.
"Kaelyn, come here," Sam said.
Kae turned around reluctantly and walked over to her brother. Sam made her stand between his legs. She knew he was pissed about her reading Jess, this was a conversation she had with him more than once and she really didn't want to have again.
"Well?"
"Well, I have to keep you safe," Kae said honestly.
"Kae, I promise I'm being careful."
"Yeah right, you're not even salting your doors and windows. So how's that being careful?"
Sam sighed because he knew what she said was true, but deep down he knew his dad had already demon proofed the place so he really didn't have to.
"He's always wanted…" Sam started.
"That's bullshit and you know it. He always tells us that you're the lead horse in his race, I have too much of a temper and don't know how to listen."
"Well that much is true. Kaelyn, I don't care if you think I'm not being careful or that I'm in danger, you aren't allowed to use your abilities on humans ever."
"I didn't…OW."
"You knew the minute you walked in here that Jess wasn't a demon. I know how your abilities work, so don't stand there and lie to me."
"Your right, but I needed to check for something else," Kae said refusing to meet her brother's eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Sammy, please don't get mad," Kae started and saw Sam's eyes darken because he knew whatever she said after those words whatever came after was going to piss him off royally. "I've kinda been practicing a new ability."
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!"
Kae cringed under Sam's rage. Dean ran in hearing Sam. Kae must have done something completely stupid to make Sam yell like that and he wanted to know exactly what his little sister had done now, besides hiding the paddle.
"Sammy, just listen for a sec."
"No Kaelyn, I won't listen for a sec..."
"But Sammy, I really didn't know it was an ability when I first felt it," Kae interrupted.
"What in the hell do you mean by that?" Sam snapped.
"After a person is touched by a demon, it kinda makes their brainwaves different. I can only tell for sure if I do a quick read. I knew Jess wasn't possessed by demon right now but I didn't know if a demon had already possessed her, so to be safe I did a quick scan."
"Once you realized it was an ability, what should have done?" Sam asked harshly.
"Told Dad, but you know how he can be about new abilities."
"If you didn't want to tell Dad, you could have told me or Dean."
"Yeah, but…"
"There's no yeah but," Sam growled.
Kae looked over and realized she wasn't just talking to Sam, but Dean had returned. Now she had to deal with both her brothers.' Kae hated when they tag teamed her and that was just about to happened.
"Yes there is. Sammy, this ability is really…"
"This ability is on the back burner. You're not scanning…" Sam started.
"Yes I am, Dad already said I could," Kae said stubbornly crossing her arms.
"That was before he knew it was a new ability. You know when you get a new ability it's easier for Azazel to track you," Dean said.
"So we're just going to leave?" Kae asked looking straight at Dean.
"Go back in the corner. I want to talk to Sammy alone."
"You can talk to Sammy without me standing in the corner," Kae complained.
"Yeah, but you're still in trouble," Sam said.
"Why am I in trouble with you?"
"I don't know Kaelyn. How about reading my girlfriend, not telling Dad about your new ability, and using that ability when you knew you shouldn't," Sam snapped.
Kae glared at her brothers, but walked over to the corner for the second time in less than an hour.
Dean and Sam walked into the kitchen.
"I could really use a beer," Dean said.
"You realize it's only ten, right?"
"I haven't gone to sleep yet, so it doesn't count," Dean said smiling.
Sam shook his head and handed his brother a beer.
"So?" Sam asked.
"I'm in a debate about whether I should call Dad or not," Dean said.
"You know my position about Kae using her abilities and you sure as hell know my position about Dad," Sam said.
"You know you really need to get over that."
"I am over it. He was the one who told me never to come back."
"Sammy, he was scared and he knows…"
"Dean, every time we talk about Dad we fight, so drop it. I'm not in danger, so there is no reason for her to use this new ability. Azazel knows exactly where to find me and he hasn't done anything in almost two years. If he's been after Kae for the past four months he would've grabbed me."
"He wants both of us, so he won't come after you until he gets me. The only way he can control you is if he has me and you know it," Kae yelled from the other room.
"Kaelyn," Dean warned.
Kae took the warning at face value and turned back towards the wall.
"You know she's right."
"Yep, so your being here makes it twice as dangerous for both of us," Sam said grabbing his own beer at this point.
Kae knew where this was going and she wasn't going to put up with it for one second, so she quietly walked out the front door.
Dean looked over at the corner still debating wanted he was going to do.
"That little shit," Dean said getting up from the table and running out the front door. He was shocked to see her leaning against the Impala on her phone.
"Dad, I know…yes, sir…but Dad… yes, sir…he's standing on the porch…yes, sir," Kae said walking up and handing her brother the phone.
Sam grabbed her arm and landed a hard swat before saying,
"Sit your ass on the couch and don't move. Got it?"
"Yes, sir," Kae said rushing past Sam before he could land anymore swats.
Sam looked over at his brother and wondered what was going on.
"She tell you about her new ability?" Dean asked.
"Yes and I'm pissed, but she's right. You need to stay there. I told her she wasn't allowed to read Sam's friends just sense if they were demons. I also told her she had only twenty-four hours before the both of you were heading up to Bobby's."
"How am I going to know if she's reading them or not?" Dean asked.
"Ask your brother, he always knows when Kae is pushing herself too hard."
"I will. Do you…"
"NO, I'm not talking to Sammy. I'm giving him his chance and if we make up he won't take it, especially if he knows Kae's in danger. Quit pushing me."
"Alright, when should I expect you?"
"I'm heading towards Stanford now," John said.
"What?" Dean said in sock he had meant Bobby's.
"Azazel's back and I'm going to make sure Kae and Sammy are safe. You're brother isn't going to know I'm there do you understand me?"
"Yes, sir. What about Kae?"
"Not until you leave Sammy's, because she doesn't know how to keep her damn mouth shut."
Dean smiled and said,
"Oh she ditched the paddle."
John chuckled. Dean did the same when he was thirteen and John decided to give him his first taste of the belt. Sammy was smart and learned from his brother's mistake.
"Guess I need to pick up a new one. Have you punished her for taking the car yet?" John asked.
"No."
"Losing the paddle gets you five with the belt."
"I forgot when I ditched the paddle you gave me five with the belt and then went and bought another paddle and I got the spanking I was supposed to get with the paddle too."
"Sucks to be your sister right now."
"Sure does. I'll see you tomorrow night."
"Keep them safe and don't go easy on Kae. She knows better."
"Trust me I won't and I don't think Sammy's letting her off either."
"Maybe between the three of us we can knock some sense into that thick skull."
"Hasn't worked yet," Dean said smiling.
"Don't remind me."
Dean hung up the phone and walked back into the apartment. Sam still looked pissed so he said,
"Want your turn at bat first?"
"WHAT?" Kae said standing up covering up her butt reflexively.
"I asked Sam if he wanted his turn at bat first."
"Sammy, I'm sorry I read Jess. I was just doing it to keep you safe. Please don't spank me too," Kae said using her best puppy dog eyes.
"No, I'll let her copy some Latin when you're finished. I have some really hard chairs in the kitchen," Sam said glaring at his little sister.
"Hey Sam, have you seen the paddle?" Dean said.
"Nope. It's not in the glove box?"
"Nope, Kae you haven't seen the paddle have you?"
Kae squirmed and said,
"I kinda lost it."
"Sammy, what's the penalty for losing the paddle in our house," Dean said. He was having a lot of fun with this right now. He hadn't tag teamed Kae in almost two years and he forgot how much fun it was.
"If I remember right, didn't Dad give you five with the belt plus a second spanking when he bought a new one?"
"Yep. It really sucked, but I never hid the paddle again. So are you sure you don't have it?" Dean asked looking at his little sister.
"No sir, I sorta threw it away," Kae said. "Dean, please don't use your belt. Dad probably will for me getting rid of the paddle."
"Sorry kiddo. Sam does Jess have a brush."
"Yeah, a nice cherry one. It looks absolutely evil."
"Dean, please," Kae begged.
"Sammy, will you please go get it for me?"
Sam didn't say anything, he just got up and walked into the bathroom. He walked back out with a large cherry hair brush and handed it to his brother.
"Alright, I'll leave you to it," Sam said walking into the kitchen. He hated when Kae got a spanking, even when he knew she really deserved it.
"Dean, I'm sorry I stole your car and I'm sorry I practiced a new ability and I'm sorry that I read Jess. Please…" Kae said deciding to use tears. They usually helped with Dean.
"Nope and don't think the tears are going to help today either. You could have been killed and did you even consider that your practicing your new abilities brought Azazel right to you?"
"No, but…"
"There is only one butt I'm worried about right now and just so you know the jeans are coming off. Let's get this over with," Dean said patting his thigh.
"Dean…"
"Kaelyn, I'm not arguing or dealing or anything else. Get your ass over here now!" Dean said unbuckling his belt.
Kae walked over and with shaky hands she popped her button on her jeans and reluctantly bent over Dean's knees. Dean helped position her. Kae looked back giving him one last pleading look before Dean's hand came down hard. Kae yelped and knew right then that this would probably be the hardest spanking he'd ever given her. Dean's hard hand came down over and over. Kae had to check, it felt like her Dad was spanking her, not her older brother. Wow, this was so bad. She wanted it over right now.
"Dean…I'll…never…touch…the…Impala…again."
Dean just kept spanking ignoring every yelp, plead, and cry. Kae couldn't believe he was spanking her this hard and she still had the brush and five with the belt coming. She hoped Sam was joking about the Latin, but knew he wasn't. She almost breathed a sigh of relief when she was tilted forward until Dean's hard as shit hand fell down again and again. Dean finally stopped after landing three hard swats on the back of each of her thighs.
"You would have only gotten ten swats with the paddle, but now you're getting ten with the brush and five with the belt," Dean said. He was having a hard time with this. He never used the belt on his brother and he didn't know if could use it on his little sister. Dean took a deep breath and focused his anger. She could have been killed and she could have crashed his baby.
"Please…Don't…" Kae begged.
Dean just changed position and landed four hard swats on her right cheek before moving to deliver four swats on her left butt cheek. He tipped her forward and landed the last two on her sit spots and with a heavy heart he picked up the belt deciding to make the greatest impact by dropping three hard swats on her sit spots and the last two on the crown of her butt. Kae's poor butt was glowing red and she was sobbing uncontrollably when Dean finally pulled her into his strong arms rocking her back and forth. When she finally calmed down, Kae said,
"I'm sorry, Dean."
"I know kiddo. Don't ever make me spank you like that again," Dean said.
"I won't. That stupid belt hurts too much. Do you think Dad's going to use his?" Kae asked her eyes shining with tears just thinking about it.
"Sorry kiddo, but I think he's going to. It's the penalty for ditching the paddle."
"You could have warned me," Kae pouted.
"Didn't think you'd be stupid enough to do it," Dean teased pulling her into a strong hug.
Kae looked into the kitchen and whispered,
"Think you can sway Sammy against making me copy those exorcisms?"
"Doubt it. He's pretty pissed about your reading Jess and you know how he is about your using new abilities."
"How about letting me stand to do it?"
"It's up to Sammy. I think you need some more time in the corner anyway."
"Dean, I've spent half of the day in the corner already," Kae whined.
"And I spent hours worrying about where my baby sister was."
"And you stupid car."
"You loved driving her, admit it."
"Yeah, much better than the truck. That piece of shit could never hit ninety. I understand why you drive Dean limit now."
Dean laughed. He forgot that Sam and Kae called his speed limit Dean limit.
"Your corner awaits."
"It's not going anywhere," Kae said smiling. She wasn't ready to let Dean go yet.
"Yep, but it's getting lonely. It's been five minutes since it got to see your pretty face."
Kae laughed and gave her brother one more hug before making her way over to the corner.
