AN: Okay, so I hope you all are interested to find out how this story ends just as much as I do. Even though it's my work, I really do want to know how this story develops. So, I hope to hear what you think. Sam and Dean will play a big part, but I need to set up the story surrounding Lilith, because that will lead to Sam and Dean's parts.
Enjoy!
Twenty years ago, two women came to a world that for ten years was only real on screen. Supernatural was the best thing that had ever happened to them. It taught them the real meaning behind 'FAMILY'; that you don't have to be blood to be 'blood'. Family is there whether you want them to or not. They can be the most supportive and loving people that you could ever meet, but they can be the same people who could hurt you the most.
But if they can hurt you the most,
Ryder and Jenna Winchester could never regret staying when they were capable of finding a way home. Any serious Supernatural fan would drop everything if it meant being with the real Sam and Dean Winchester or at the very least meet them.
Ryder and Sam during the twenty years of being together happily had two children of their own. After having two kids, they both made sure that Lilith would never feel like she wasn't as loved.
Over the years, Ryder and Sam had noticed the change in her behavior. Before the change, Lilith was a happy little girl. She played with her cousins and younger siblings. She did what almost every child has done. Lilith went to school, did her homework, watched TV, threw tantrums. Everything. Not once during the years did they think there was something lingering that had to do with her past as the first and most feared demon.
No worries. None at all...
Until she began to change. She became more reserved and quiet. Ryder knows that she was trying to mask it by saying she was studying and learning more about the monsters of the world. She had said that the more she learned, the less she would need to research the signs of a monster when they were out hunting. If she knew everything, then it would decrease the chances of another innocent dying.
Ryder didn't believe that in the slightest, but she didn't say anything until she knew what was going on inside Lilith's head.
As a mother with more than one child, she couldn't focus all of her attention on Lilith. She had to treat them all the same. All of her children had different personalities, so she had to treat them differently, but still the same.
She didn't want to mention it to anyone, not even Sam, that she favored Lilith more. She felt like a bad mother, but there was a certain bond between the two that she had never felt she had with her other kids.
Jonathan Winchester was her second child. He was the serious type that although he loved his family and made sure they knew it, he still put their safety before his own. He was the only one that truly understood what that had meant.
Two years later, Ryder gave birth to Deanna. Her daughter, no matter her age, was very childlike. She watched cartoons even when she was in her teenage years. It wasn't cartoons like Spongebob, Courage, Family Guy, etc. No, it was educational cartoons that only small children would be entertained by. She decorated her room in all pink. However, her childlike behavior was only half of who she was. The other half knew how to kick ass; Ryder made sure of it.
Then came the day, Lilith left. She left her room cleaned of any sign that anyone ever lived it in. It broke Ryder's heart. She worried about her safety like any good mother. But like any good mother, she knew that this day would come. She knew that one day, her, Sam, Dean and Jenna would be the only ones living at the bunker. Which was why they made sure that if they ever chose not to hunt, they would still know how to take care of themselves from any monster including the human kind.
But... it didn't make it any easier.
Ryder had woken up from another nightmare. A nightmare that scared her, and when she told Sam about it, it scared him too. It was a nightmare that Ryder had around the time Lilith left. It was a nightmare that felt real.
Making her way to the kitchen, Ryder heard noise coming from the front entrance. She never thought that anyone would break in because no one else knew the location. She turned the corner to see a shadow of a female, assuming it was based on the physique. The woman was walking in the direction of the library.
She slowly walked toward the woman and stopped dead in her tracks. She was shocked to find Lilith in front of her. Lilith's back was facing away from her, and Ryder tried very hard not to just go up to her and hug her to death. She took a deep breath and smiled.
"You're back."
Lilith turned around and tried hard not to smile as big as she wanted. "Hi, Mom."
Before Ryder could say anything else, she found herself being hugged hard by Lilith. She wrapped her arms around her daughter and could feel tears stinging her eyes. She didn't know how long they were hugging, but then the lights came on. They looked in the direction of the light switch and saw Sam standing there.
Lilith had let go of her mother and ran to her father. She didn't know how much she missed her father until she saw him standing in front of her.
"I missed you, Daddy."
"I missed you too, Lilybug," Sam said quietly. Ever since Lily had left, he tried so hard to comfort and distract Ryder's worries over their daughter. He knew she was hurting so much, but now that Lilith was home, he prayed Ryder would pain would dissipate.
He looked at Ryder as he hugged Lilith and could see, by the look in her eyes, that so many emotions and thoughts were running through her mind. Sam had a feeling that she was thinking about the nightmare she's been having during these past six years.
What does it mean?
It's been almost a week since Lilith's been home. During that time, she's seen how happy everyone was to see her home. It made her feel happy and wanted despite that feeling. She shook her head. She didn't want to think about that feeling; for the time being, she wanted to just feel like she belonged here as much everyone else.
Although her family was glad to see her home, she couldn't say everyone felt the same. The only person that didn't express happiness at her return was her younger sister.
When Deanna was born, Lilith was so thrilled at the thought of having a little sister. She loved Jonathan, but obviously, since he was a boy, she couldn't exactly do things that she could only do with a sister. Things such as makeup and boys. She could remember that her relationship with Deanna was almost like the kind her father and uncle had.
But it all changed when the day Lilith went to pick up Deanna from school. She was late coming out, and it gave Lilith a bad feeling. She had gotten out of the car to go look when she heard a group of kids yelling and swearing left and right. She didn't know why, but she made her way over and it was at the moment that she saw a familiar head of bright red hair.
Lilith pushed her way through the crowd and saw her sister underneath another girl. She was by no means small. It astounded her that this fight has not been stopped and nor did she see any teachers around. Seeing her younger sister getting beaten by some hoodrat, Lilith instantly saw red. She's read that phrase in books, but by no means did she think she would literally see red. She grabbed the bitch's hair and yanked her to her feet.
Before she grabbed the girl, she could hear nothing but stupid kids screaming and encouraging the fight. Now that girl was in her grasp, Lilith heard nothing. No kids, cars driving by, birds... nothing. She brought the girl's head close to her so she could whisper a very serious threat that she wanted no one else to hear but her.
"If you or any of your friends ever touch my sister again, I'll gut you like the fucking pig you are, Carly." She didn't have to see the girl's face to know she was scared at the thought of her knowing her name. She tightened her grip on the girl's hair and pushed her to the ground... hard.
Lilith couldn't remember what happened after that. The anger and hatred she felt, after a few hours, didn't fade. Why? All she does remember is the fact that she was arrested for the assault of a minor. She spent only one week in the county jail. Ryder and Sam were able to pull some strings to avoid any jail time, but it was only reduced to one week.
Ryder and Sam knew the chief of police after saving him from his dead wife several years back. Because of the fact that he knew what they did and (without letting Lilith know) who Lilith was. Who she was didn't explain her actions, at least they didn't think it did. However, since this wasn't the first time Lilith has gotten into legal trouble, they were able to use that defense.
How much longer it would work... God only knows.
When Lilith was released, Deanna hardly spoke to her. Lilith saw that although Deanna tried to hide it, the fear the young girl felt was obvious every time Lilith looked at her. She wanted to help her sister because that's what a good older sister did. They watch out for their young siblings. She loved Deanna and cared for her safety, but all she did was make her sister afraid of her.
If she had to choose, she would give anything for her sister to hate her rather than fear her. Being hated wasn't something new to Lilith, but being feared... being feared by someone who at one point looked up to her and loved her...
being feared...
being feared...
being feared...
