If asked, I couldn't have pinpointed the exact moments during which the Winchester boys and I went from complete strangers to enemies, then ultimately to wary allies.
But it'd happened.
That Sam Winchester had trusted me, or perhaps been just desperate enough to call me to his hexed brother's side, was a sign of the changing times.
:
I was following in Fergus' footsteps.
For the King of Hell to be hanging out with hunters was unique. In all my three hundred years of earthly existence, I'd never borne witness to such a thing.
Sam and Dean had my son wrapped around their little fingers—Moose and Squirrel my ass!
The Winchesters were special, there was no doubting that!
:
I could've refused to help, but I'd learned it was better to keep on the Winchesters' good side.
For all their pretty faces and … delectable bodies... they were more dangerous than a shoal of piranha.
I hadn't stayed alive for all this time by being a careless fool.
Anyway, there was a handy book of ancient magic for the taking, that is if I could distract the brothers' attention from it long enough to snatch it.
I'd try my best.
:
I gotta say though, when Dean got his memory back and I saw the love shining from their eyes as they gazed adoringly at each other, my usually steel-walled heart gave a tiny sentimental twitch.
I too had once loved another human being, though I doubted to the point Sam and Dean loved one another, seeing as I'd cut Oscar's throat; and for a split-second, I envied the Winchesters.
To love and care for each other as they did was something special to bear witness to, but I was glad in the end that I was an unfeeling bitch.
:
Love makes you weak, and to survive you must be strong.
There's always the exception that proves the rule of course, and that's the Winchesters. Always ready to die for each other, to face any enemy including Death, and triumph, all in the name of the love they share.
:
Well Dean got his memory back, Sam got his brother back, and I got a taxi ride home with NO spell-book, thanks to that long drink of Winchester water!
The end
