A Supernatural Christmas Carol
As Dean fadded away he left his brother once again alone in the motel room. Sam was confused , had he really been visited by the Dean's spirit. Then he looked around and then he noticed two things that made him realise what had just happened couldn't have been real.
Firstly he saw the half empty bottle of whiskey on the floor and the movie The Muppets Christmas Carol on the TV. Sam laughed and said "It was just a hallucination" he said.
"Three spirit, what a load of crap" he said to himself before turning the TV off and going to sleep. He lay in bed and drafted off to sleep thinking to himself 'I'm going to have a massive hangover in the morning, now that's what I call a Christmas present'
As he lay on the bed asleep he heard a sound and was awoken by a bright light. He leap out of bed and saw a ball of fire floating in front of the bed. "Who are you?" he shouted at it grabbing the knife. Suddenly the flame disappeared.
"Where are you?" Sam said.
Suddenly the room became filled with warmth and he heard a voice say "I'm in your Heart, after all isn't that where a mother belongs".
With that the flame reappeared and began to grow and take shape till in was shaped like a person. then the flame went out and in its place was a person who Sam had only seen in pictures and dreams.
"Mom" Sam said surprised and amazed.
"Hello Sam" she said in voice as beautiful as Sam had imagined it. She was dressed in the nightie she wore the night she was killed by Azazel. But there was something different about her, she seemed to be human but flickered like a flame. She seemed to be made of fire.
"No it can't be you, you're dead" Sam said.
"Yes I am but i've returned as the Ghost of Christmas Past" she said.
"And you've come to show me the happy Christmases of my past but i'll stop you there , i never had any" Sam said before getting back into bed.
"I'll be the first to say that i didn't want you and your brother to be hunters but you're wrong and allow me to show you" she said before taking his hand as both of them were engulfed in flames. Suddenly they appeared in an old motel and in front of them they saw two children.
"Oh my god is that... me and Dean" Sam said not believing his eyes.
"They are the shadows of your past, they can not see or hear us" she said.
"Yeah i saw the movie i know that" Sam said. Past-Sam went over to Past-Dean and handed him a present.
"Merry Christmas Dean" Past-Sam said.
Past-Dean opened the small gift and said "Sweet the new Metallica CD, thanks Sam"
Past-Dean handed Past-Sam a much larger present.
Past-Sam thanked Past-Dean and opened the present.
"Cool, Mouse Trap, do you want to play" Past-Sam said.
Past-Dean smiled and said "Sure"
They opened the the box and set up up the game and began to play it. They had hours of fun playing it over and over again.
"This looks like a good Christmas" Mary said.
"Yeah it was but, it wasn't a real Christmas, we never had a real Christmas" Sam said.
"Oh really, what about that Christmas you spent with Bobby" Mary asked as she put her hand on his shoulder and the flame engulfed them both and they appeared in Bobby's living room.
In front of the tree sat Sam playing with his new present as Dean sat on the chair watching a Christmas special.
"Sam, Dean, get in here, turkey's ready" Bobby called in from the kitchen.
Past-Sam and Past-Dean went into the kitchen and saw Bobby taking off his Kiss the Chef apron.
They sat at the kitchen and ate the turkey and laughed and joked and pulled Christmas crackers.
"This looks like a real Christmas to me" Mary said again.
"Fine then I'll admit my childhood wasn't that bad" Sam said.
"There is another Christmas we have to see" Mary said as they were engulfed in flames and appeared in a party.
"Wait a minute i know this place it's the..." Sam began looking around recognising the place.
"The Stanford Christmas party, you were 19 at the time, a new student, only one friend, out of place, feeling nervous" Mary said.
They looked around the party and saw Brady dance with a girl. Sam saw his possessed friends and went to punch the demon in the face but his hand went right through him.
"Remember Sam, they're just shadows of the past" Mary said "Beside, we should turn our attention to that lonely person sitting there"
Mary pointed to Sam sitting alone far away from the partying crowd. Brady went over to this Sam and said "Come on Sam, it's a party, besides there's someone i want you to meet".
"Nah i'm fine" Sam said.
"Come on " Brady said pulling Sam off the chair and pulling in to the crowd. As he was pulled through the crownd he bumped into a girl.
"Oh sorry" Sam said before looking at the girl and being mesmerised by her.
"Jess" Present-Sam said in almost a whisper.
"Love at first sight" Mary said.
"Hi" the girl said to Sam.
"Sam, this is who i wanted to introduce you with, this is Jessica" Brady said.
Sam and Jessica started talking and the sparks were clearly flying.
"You loved her" Mary said.
"Yeah but Azazel was playing match maker with me" Sam said.
"But that didn't make your feelings any less real" Mary said "There is of course another Christmas with this woman we must see"
"Please don't show me that one" Sam begged but it was too late they appeared in Sam home a year later.
They saw Sam and Jessica laying on the couch wrapped in a blanket. Past-Sam looked at Jessica and said "I love you"
Jess looked at him and said "I love you too".
"That was the first time you told someone you're feeling " Mary said.
Sam was shaking with sadness remembering how Jess had been taken from him.
"Why show these things, do you enjoy torturing me" Sam said.
"These are the shadow of things that have been, there are what they are" Mary said.
"Please leave" Sam said. As the light and heat from Mary faded away Sam found himself alone in the motel room.
