I woke up that next day at dawn. I'm not a fan of sleep. I believe we waste so much of our lives sleeping. These days, I'm not missing much. Just Croats running toward me, having an rippling hunger for my blood.
I got up and dressed for the mission today. I'm not the kind of person who loves to look at herself in a mirror, but I think I looked at myself over twenty times to make sure I look okay. I heard a strong knock at the door.
"Hey, you ready to go?," Dean asked.
"Yeah, I'm ready if you are ."
I looked behind me before I closed the door. Ashley was still asleep. If she knew I was going on this mission with him, she would find a way to make sure I stop breathing.
We made it to his truck.
"Do you have any ammo? Me, Reesa, and Ashley got ambushed yesterday. So, our supply run was an absolute failure."
He laughed. "Yeah. Reesa told me. Bear went further out of town last night and got some."
We got in and he started driving. I started loading my weapons. Once I finished , I took my black hairband and tied my hair up. I never left my hair down on any kind of mission or hunt.
Dean watched her. He never thought a girl, or should he say woman, would make him ache in more ways than one. He only knew one ache for women , and it was below his belt. These aches are both emotional and physical.
Dean stopped driving and he parked in a secluded area. The town was a couple of miles away, and a huge tree blocked our way in. We both got out and cocked our guns, heading to the town.
"So, why aren't you complex? Are you going to tell me or do I have to pay in some sexual favors to get to know you?"
Well, since you mentioned it.
I smiled. "Well, how bout this? You can ask me a question and I'll answer it."
Alright. What's your family like?"
"My mom was the clown of the family. She always knew how to make me laugh. She was a great mother who would do anything for me and my sister. She raised us by ourselves since my dad decided to leave when I was four. My sister, was a mini version of my mom. People would say I got my mom's looks, and my sister had her personality. We fought all the time, like all siblings. But we would make up in about five minutes after. I lost them the day I changed into this person you see walking with you."
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault." I felt my tears start to come out of my eyes. "next question."
"You have a boyfriend?"
I laughed. "I did. We dated for two years. But, about a week before this planet went up in flames, i caught him in bed with one of my co-workers. I felt like I was in a fucking episode of Jerry Springer."
Dean smiled. "He's a dick. He had an incredible girl. You know what they say Karmas a bitch."
I looked down at the ground.
"Thank you. Any more questions?"
Oh, Dean had endless more, but he didn't want to overwhelm her all at once.
"If this planet ever found its way back to normal, what kind of restaurant would you go to with me?"
"A burger joint. I love cheeseburgers with extra tomato. And the place has to serve beer."
Good God. He would marry this girl right now.
"You out of questions?"
"For now."
In a way, Iwas glad he stopped asking questions. I liked him, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to open up to him fully yet.
I looked at him debating whether I should ask him something.
"Dean, what's your story? I mean, I only see what everyone else sees. Can you talk to me about it?"
The only person who fully knew him was Cass. He was willing to tell her, cuz he liked her, and wanted her to know him.
"Uh.. I've been a hunter since I was a kid. My dad raised my brother and me in it. He became a hunter to find my mom's killer. She died in my brother's nursery. A demon killed her. Hunting is basically who I am. "
"Wow. I'm so sorry about your mom. Has your dad passed too?"
"Yeah. he's gone too."
Damn. Now I know why he is so closed off.
"Where's your brother?"
He swallowed. "He's gone. You know how demons take a human vessel? So do angels. He said yes to the devil. He was Lucifer's vessel. "
Whoa. Back up. I grabbed his arm for him to stop walking.
"What?! Why would he.. ?"
"He tried stopping the apocalypse. As you can see, it didn't pan out."
"Were you a vessel too?"
"Yeah. I was Michael's vessel."
When I was on my own, I ran into my fair share of hunters. I knew what exsisted out there, and what to expect.
"For what it's worth, I'm glad you didn't say yes to Michael. I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now."
He smiled. " I'm glad too."
We continued walking, and finally made it to town. What a shock. Completely empty. But something stood out unlike all the other towns we have been in. There was electricity in this huge office building with at least thirty floors. We both looked at each other.
"I don't know if this a good thing or bad thing. An office building lit up while everything else is shut off when it comes to power."
Dean agreed. "With the luck I've had lately, I'd say bad."
We walked to the building. Dean opened the door for me and we looked around for a good minute. It was so quiet.
"I think we should split up. We can cover more ground that way."
"I don't think so. This place is huge."
"Fine. We will stay on the same floor. But split up."
"Okay. Don't wander off."
"Okay dad."
I looked back and we smiled at each other.
The first two floors were empty. We heard a noise on the fourth.
I got up there first. I opened the door quietly and looked around. Dean took the west end. I took the east. I rounded the corner to where the water jugs were.
Holy Fuck.
Dozens of Croats easy were attacking one guy. I stepped closer and lifted my gun. When I stepped forward again, A piece of glass broke under my boot.
They all looked at me. I started to run. They dropped the guy they were attacking on the floor and came running after me.
My lungs were on fire.
"Dean!"
He saw what was chasing me.
"Son of a bitch!"
He started firing at them. I turned at times to not let my bullets go to waste. I finally reached Dean.
" We need to get out of here. I have a plan."
I showed him the grenade in my jacket.
"I like the way you think."
We ran down the stairs to the first lobby. We could use the elevator, but running would be much more effective. If there were that many Croats on one floor, imagine how many were on the rest?
Once we were out the door, I pulled the string and tossed it into the glass window.
The explosion shook the earth's floor causing me and Dean to fall. He covered my body with his.
He touched my face. "You ok?"
"I'm good."
He helped me up and we headed back to the truck.
The drive back, we were quiet. I don't know if it was the mission itself, or he was always like this after a mission.
It started pouring rain. Everyone was gone when we came back except Cass.
Dean and I got out and saw cass going into his cabin.
"Cass, where is everyone?"
"Oh, they went to give the supply run another shot."
I was soaked already, and I wasn't out of the car for 15 seconds. I ran to my cabin to change since I was cold now. The familiar knock was at my door again.
"Dean, is everything ok?"
"Yeah. I just.. I want you to know I've never shared anything with anyone about Sam today."
"Really? I hope you didn't think you needed to tell me."
"No. I just wanted to. You're unlike anyone I've ever met. You run through my head constantly. I don't know what to do. I want you so bad. I've never wanted anything more in my entire life. And that scares the living shit out of me."
I noticed he was moving closer to me. I felt my back hit Ashley's dresser.
"Dean.."
With that said, he his lips were on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He lifted me and cleared off Ashley's dresser and set me down on it. . I stripped off my jacket and shirt in seconds. I couldn't stop myself. The heart wants what it wants. I ripped open his flannel shirt and he got rid of his undershirt for me. We were both breathing so heavy, it seemed to drown out the heavy downfall of rain outside. He lifted me again and our bodies hit the mattress roughly. I ran my hands up and down his amazing back while he was undoing his jeans. I went without a kiss for too long and pulled his face back down to mine. I couldn't even process a single thought right now. If someone asked me my name, I wouldn't be able to tell it. He was so incredible. My whole body curls when he just touches me. So I knew that the sex would be mind-blowing. And I wasn't wrong. We stayed in that cabin that whole night going again and again. When we had no more energy left, we just laid there, and I rested my head on his chest.
"I hope I lived up to what you expected."
"You didn't hear me complain."
He smiled and moved his head down to kiss me.
The cabin Door opened and Reesa walked in.
"I knew this was going to happen! Oh my god! Jaliss, you're telling me how good the sex was later! I'll be in my cabin waiting for the details."
Dean and I both laughed and we got dressed. We went outside, and I saw Ashley. If the bitch wants my head on a pike so bad, I'd like to see her try me.
