Morning After
Might have a love square in this story lol. Get ready for some craziness, because it's going to be happening soon.
Sadie got moved to the boys' spare room which had a sofa bed. Dean had agreed to let her stay in his bed until Castiel had her stitches fixed but he wanted his bed and room back and Sadie was comfortable taking the bed from Castiel or Sam. So she was moved. The sofa bed was no where near as nice as Dean's bed had been but she coped as she always did. Castiel changed her bandages and wrapped one around her middle. She watched him work in silence.
"Here we go." Sam said, coming into the room with a blanket and pillows. "Knew we had extra." Sadie smiled at the young man. "Dean wanted me to tell you he was sorry."
"Can't say it himself?" Sadie asked.
"He's not very happy with women in general right now." Sam said, looking apologetic. "Rough annoying night for him apparently. Don't worry too much about him, okay?" Sadie just nodded slowly. "Okay, let's give this sleep thing one more shot."
"Yeah, we're all gonna need it." Castiel said, standing up. "Are you comfortable?"
"I'll be fine, thank you." Sadie said. The men left the room and she sighed, wondering if she really would be fine.
"You'll come back...soon enough. They all come back in the end." The shadowy man loomed over her. He held something in his hand that caught the moonlight. A knife.
"No." She whispered. Her body refused to move and she realized she was strapped down.
"You have no where to run, Princess." The man said. "Daddy's gonna get you, and there'll be some...serious...punishments...when I do."
The knife twirled then plunged downward.
She screamed and withered, yelling at herself in her mind to wake up. She knew it was a dream, or more a nightmare. She squeezed her eyes shut and wondered how the pain felt real.
Dean held Sadie's arms down as she moved around. He hated that the spare room was next to his room. He heard as soon as she started panicking and didn't feel like lying around trying to ignore it as it got louder until the other two heard. So he had gotten up and had tried to wake the girl up for over a minute.
"Come on, wake up, you're gonna hurt yourself!" Dean grumbled. "Goddammit...uh...shit, I don't remember your name...just wake the hell up!" He shook her slightly and finally got his desired reaction. Her eyes snapped open and she was half way to a scream when Dean slapped his hand over her mouth. "Don't start that again. Calm down." He shifted his hand slightly to let her breath and waited until she was calm before removing his hand. "You know...if this is going to be a common occurrence...you're gonna be a lousy person to live with."
"Sorry." Sadie muttered. They sat silently. Dean just staring out the window as Sadie played with the blanket. She didn't know if he was going to leave or if he was waiting for her to tell her to leave or what but the longer they were quiet, the more uneasy she felt.
"So what was it about?" Dean asked quietly.
"Huh?" Sadie asked.
"The nightmare." Dean said.
"Oh uh...War." Sadie said.
"You were in the war?" Dean asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No...I was only a kid when it was going." Sadie said. "But I knew about it and stuff." She wound her hands in the blanket, feeling a chill in them and wanting to keep it away. Dean looked at her hands then stood up. Sadie watched him carefully.
"I should let you get back to sleep." Dean said. "So long as you don't start screaming again."
"Hopefully I won't." Sadie said. "Thank you for waking me up."
"Heard how often you thanked the other two." Dean said, smirking. "Started to feel left out." Sadie grinned. "And I'm sorry about earlier."
"It's okay, I would have probably been the same way with that sort of situation." Sadie said.
"Yeah." Dean said, slowly. He paused for a few seconds then shook his head. "Well uh...good night."
"Morning." Sadie corrected. Dean shook his head and grinned before walking out of the room. She sat there for a few more moments then laid back down and closed her eyes, sighing.
Castiel was up first and had breakfast and coffee made before Sam and Sadie joined him. While Sam gratefully took a cup of the hot liquid, Sadie politely turned it down and opted for a glass of orange juice. Castiel changed her bandages, checked her stitches, and then nearly forced her to eat the breakfast.
"You guys eat without Dean?" Sadie asked.
"He's not a morning person." Sam said. "We let him sleep as long as he can."
"As long as he can?" Sadie asked.
"Yeah he's...well...he doesn't really sleep a whole lot." Sam said. Sadie tilted her head.
"It's not our story to tell." Castiel said. The girl nodded slowly. She swirled the remains of her juice in her glass and watched it. "Keep eating."
"Yes, oh master." Sadie said, grinning. Castiel smiled slightly.
"Okay guys, I gotta go get Ruby." Sam said, standing up.
"Ruby's his girlfriend." Castiel said. He used his fingers to imitate horns on his head and Sadie giggled.
"Knock it off." Sam said. Castiel just smiled innocently. Sam shook his head and went to his room to get dressed.
"So evil huh?" Sadie asked.
"If you ask myself and Dean." Castiel said. "I think she's been getting Sam hooked on some sort of drug but I have yet to prove it." Sadie frowned and looked toward Sam's room. He was too nice to become a druggie.
"So...what do you do during the day?" Sadie asked, picking at the last of her food.
"Different things." Castiel said. "Whatever needs doing for either here or the bar."
"Oh." Sadie said.
"I need to pick up a few things for here if you want to help." Castiel said. "We can get you some new clothes." Sadie paused and raised an eyebrow. "It's probably best if you stay here for now. People...well...they know you're with us, they'll leave you alone."
"Who are you guys?" Sadie asked.
"Can I tell you some other time?" Castiel asked. Sadie looked at him carefully then nodded. "Thanks...I think you might be about to fit into Ruby's clothes. Much as I'd hate to put you through that, we do need to put you in something other then what you're wearing now. We'll go to the shop and you can wear out what you pick so you don't have to wear her stuff too long."
"Okay." Sadie said. "Can I wash up first?"
"Of course." Castiel said, nodding. He pointed over to the bathroom. "I'll go ask Sam before he takes off."
"Thanks." Sadie said. She stood up and brought her dishes to the kitchen before going to the bathroom. Castiel watched her then quickly went to Sam's room and knocked once before walking in.
"What?" Sam asked, jumping back quickly to avoid getting hit by the door or walked into by his friend.
"Sadie needs some of Ruby's least slutty clothing." Castiel said.
"Lay off Cas." Sam said, rolling his eyes and going to the closet. "She's not that bad."
"She gives me evil looks every time she's here and you're not looking...she's bad." Castiel said, leaning on the wall and watching the younger man dig through the clothes.
"You're exaggerating." Sam said.
"We'll all get along fine the less time we spend around each other." Castiel said. "She and Dean absolutely despise each other."
"I know...he calls her a demon." Sam said, sighing.
"Demon bitch to be more precise." Castiel pointed out. Sam gave him a look and tossed clothes at him. Castiel smirked and grabbed the clothes before they hit the floor. "This will do, thank you."
"Yeah, yeah." Sam said. "Out." Castiel pushed away from the wall and walked out of the room with Sam following him. "So what are you and our new roommate going to do?"
"Shop." Castiel said.
"Have fun." Sam said, smiling.
"Unlike you and Dean, I really have no problem with it." Castiel said. "I always get rewarded with the girl modeling."
"You can be a real good guy most of the time...and then you have your moments where I think you've spent too much time with Dean." Sam said. Castiel just shrugged and moved to the spare room to put the clothes there. "See you later, call me if anything happens."
"Have fun with the devil." Castiel said. Sam glared at him and walked out. Castiel peeked into Dean's room to find the man still dead to the world as usual this time of day. Grinning, he went to the kitchen to put all the dishes in the dishwasher then write out a note.
He didn't hear Sadie leave the bathroom, didn't know she watched him for a minute, and didn't hear her go to the spare room. What he did notice however was when she came back and stood next to him, fully dressed in a knee length black skirt and dark purple, low cut tee shirt. Castiel looked the girl up and down then smiled slightly when none of her bruises were visible. She had unwrapped her head and combed out her hair, arranging it so the bruise on her neck was hidden. Her hair was long and blonde with a slight curl to it. Her blue eyes were a lot brighter now then Castiel had ever seen them in the twelve or so hours that he had known her.
She looked calmer, happier then she had the previous night.
"Are you ready?" Castiel asked.
"Yep." Sadie said. "But uh...don't think you are." Castiel paused and looked down at himself, taking in his only article of clothing to be sweat pants.
"Hmm...good point." He said. Sadie giggled softly. "I'll be right back." At her nod, he went to his room to change quickly.
Castiel returned to find Sadie cleaning up the table and counters. He blinked and tilted his head, trying to figure out just how long he had taken to get changed. He coughed slightly to get the girl's attention and she smiled sheepishly.
"You don't have to do that." Castiel said.
"Thought I'd be nice." Sadie said. "You've already played doctor for me and fed me and now I'm going to get clothes, I need to do something to repay all this."
"We'll think of something." Castiel said. "Come on, before Dean wakes up so we can get away with his car." Sadie laughed slightly. She was glad to see her shoes from the previous night sitting by the door and relatively blood free save for a few spots that were barely noticeable.
I wanted to make this chapter longer, I really did, but I didn't want to put any of the shopping in so it turned into this.
Anyone curious about the timeline?
