Sam and Dean couldn't take it in. They tried to find words, but ended up opening and closing their mouths like fish.
'Are you sure?' Sam finally found words.
'Yes. I checked two different record books that listed a John E Winchester to having three sons and a daughter. The sons were called Dean, Sam and Adam. I'm the daughter. You can go and check the records yourself if you don't believe me.' I was trying to keep my cool.
'You'd better come with us, Caitlin. If you are a Winchester you'll need to stick with us as closely as you can. We didn't get to Adam in time, but we still have a chance with you.' Dean almost sounded solemn about it.
'What?' I was confused what he meant.
'Adam got killed by a ghoul and then brought back by angels to be Michael's vessel. Adam's in Lucifer's cage.' Sam explained.
I was horrified. Was that all the Winchester family's fate?
'Do you know where Dad is?' I asked carefully.
'He died making a deal with Yellow Eyed demon. He died to save me. It was the same month you turned six months.' Dean sighed deeply.
'I'd better go and pack some things, shouldn't I?' I didn't want to cause them trouble.
'Yeah. We'll be down here, checking the coast is clear before we move out.' Sam smiled weakly at me.
I stood up and quickly dashed upstairs. I packed clothes into another backpack and sped down the stairs. Sam and Dean were waiting for me.
'Have you got everything?' Sam asked.
'I think so. We'd better move fast if Yellow Eyes is sending demons after us.' I smirked.
Sam and Dean led me out the house. I turned the lights off as we left. I got into the back of the Impala at Dean's request. I wasn't going to argue. Sam got the other belongings of mine out my car and into Dean's. Sam got in shotgun and then Dean drove off. I didn't even look back. I couldn't think about the horrible fate that had killed Heather and Mitch. I could see that Heather had been the best mother she could to me and I doubted I showed her how much I appreciated it.
'Are you alright, Caitlin?' Sam called back to me.
'Yeah. I'm fine. What's the plan?' I asked.
'We get out of here as soon as we can. We'll take you to our bunker in Lebanon, Kansas. It should be safe there.' Dean said.
'Ok. Let me guess, you found the Men of Letters bunker and now it's like base.' I knew my research.
'How do you know about that?' Sam looked shocked.
'Sam, do you really think I'd just search for Yellow Eyes the whole time? I had to take my mind off it another way and I stumbled across Men of Letters. Henry Winchester was one of them.' I remembered more than I thought I did.
I was sure Sam and Dean looked at each other in worry. Dean then turned the radio on. The music was alright, but I didn't recognise it. Sam and Dean talked to each other about other things and I rested my head against the side of the car and let my eyes close. I needed sleep and this was the best way I was going to get that.
My mind wandered a little bit, but I was sure I could hear Sam shush Dean over something.
'What are you shushing me for?' Dean moaned.
'We'd better let her sleep it off until we get there. She's been through a lot already.' Sam sighed deeply.
'Of course she's been through a lot. She's not exactly cursed like us, is she?'
'That's what worries me. Dean, she's a Winchester. She's already cursed.'
I heard the radio turn down a little bit, but it didn't change my mind's thoughts. I found myself sitting up in the car. We'd stopped and both of them were frozen stiff. I looked to my left and saw Yellow Eyes sat next to me. I flinched away from him. He was in the body I'd seen him in before. He was a man in his forties at least.
'Caitlin, did you really think you could escape me? You're my leader on this. You still have those psychic abilities I gave you. None of the other children have that. I'm relying on you to do this.' Yellow Eyes smiled.
'No. I won't do what you want me to do! Sam and Dean will stop you, as will I! You killed both my parents and now be prepared to fight for your life. We will win. We're the Winchesters and you're nobody.' I snapped.
Yellow Eyes laughed. He obviously liked my fight.
'Keep that up, Caitlin. I need a fighter to lead them. It's on you to do this. You can't escape your fate.'
'Then you should know what I'm capable of is more than you. SAM!' I managed to scream Sam's name at the top of my lungs.
I woke up, freezing and shivering. The Impala had stopped. Sam was in the back with me.
'Caitlin, it's alright. It was just a dream.' Sam was worried about me.
I shook my head.
'I saw Yellow Eyes. He thinks I'm going to lead something. I can't do it. I can't.' I found my shivering getting worse.
Sam held me close and tried to warm me up a little bit.
'It's alright. You're safe with us.' Sam gently kissed my head.
Sam gave Dean a signal of some kind and he started driving again. I let Sam pull me a bit closer to him. I rested my head against his left shoulder. I felt so cold it was crazy.
'We're a couple of hours away. You'd better hold on tight.' Dean called back.
I didn't get to ask why. He sped up even faster than he was before. He didn't want to leave anything to chance.
'Are you alright now, Caitlin?' Sam asked.
'I think so. I just feel cold.' I tried to stop my teeth from chattering.
Sam then took his jacket off and tucked it around me. It was massive, but I didn't really care. I felt warm and I found what I'd been searching for since I was ten. I'd found family.
'Thank you.' I smiled weakly at him.
'I think you needed it more than me.' Sam smirked.
I knew I could get along with my two new brothers. They seemed to like me already, so I didn't complain. Dean then pulled into a garage like space and then Sam helped me out the car. He helped me carry my belongings into the bunker. We walked into the main room and I was in awe.
'Ok, you hit jackpot.' I laughed.
'You like it, huh?' Sam smiled.
'Yeah. It's like our own version of home that the road didn't give.' I shrugged.
'Come on. I'll let you pick your room.' Sam guided me down a side corridor.
I followed Sam until we reached a room that was empty. I liked it already.
'Is this ok?' Sam asked.
'Yeah. I'm guessing the two rooms next to mine are yours and Dean's.' I knew.
'We're meant to watch over you, Caitlin. You're still our sister.'
'I think it might take a little while to let that sink in that I have brothers.'
'I think it'll take us a while to let it sink in we have a sister.'
We both laughed at that. We got on so well already. We walked back to the main room and found Dean studying an open book.
'What is it?' Sam asked Dean.
'I'm trying to see what the Men of Letters have on the Colt and Yellow Eyes.' Dean didn't look up.
We walked over to him and I could see that they had everything in an order of some kind.
'By Colt, do you mean the Samuel Colt gun, the Colt?' I asked.
'Yeah. We used it to kill the son of a bitch and now he's back. We don't know how he's back.' Dean explained.
I heard some kind of wings flutter and then I was held against the wall, a silver blade at my throat. The guy was in a trenchcoat and looked pretty mad seeing me here.
'Cass, stop!' Sam called to him.
Cass…This was Castiel. I'd heard about him from word being spread round as things got more chaotic.
'Who is she?' Castiel looked at Sam and Dean.
'Her name's Caitlin Winchester. She's our half-sister.' Dean explained for Castiel.
'She can't possibly be here. She's meant to be dead.'
