Within a Hunter
Ash removed himself from the table and headed in the direction of Kelisha who had just stepped out from the back room. The loud noise of the roadhouse had started up about five minuets after her out burst and Dean had Sam were left with only one theory every one knew about her little stint in hell, if she actually meant hell as in hell and not a metaphor for something that was like hell.
"Your not leaving" Ash said in relief when he saw that she wasn't carrying any bags but was carrying her gun. Kelisha came to a stop and folded her arms across her chest her foot tapping slightly.
"No im going out back to work on the punching bag, better that then your face" She replied tensely, she was still more then mad with him for cornering her that way that he had and rather exposed, only a few people knew the truth about her and she couldn't afford any one else to know, that could result in her ending up dead.
She was lucky really that the roadhouse only had people there that already knew because she hadn't been thinking when she blurted out the fact she had been dead for four years and was now walking around completely healthy.
"Kelisha" Ahs started only to be cut of by her raising her hand
"No I cant believe you corned me out there" She said nodding her head in the direction of the table where both Sam and Dean were in listening range and were both leant forward so they could hear what was being said.
"Ash I just want answers ok, I need answers he was my baby brother and I would, I did everything I could for him, I just need to no why, why he brought me back, why he went back on our deal surly you can understand that"
Kelisha said her voice filling up with emotion as she looked on at Ash, for the last four months she had been asking herself why, why was she brought back, why did he go against the deal, it was always why and she never got an answer, but now she knew where the demon was, and she could finally get the answers she wanted, and maybe she could finally move on.
Ash furrowed his brow slightly and nodded his head, when she had first came back Ellen had nearly shot her it was only because Kelisha had practically beg her to listen that she was even allowed through the door, and it wasn't until she had drank nearly four pints of holly water and had steeped easily in and out of a devils trap that they had believed she was Kelisha and not some demon trying to trick them.
But she wasn't the same Kelisha that he had known for all them years wasn't the same bubbly person she had been, she was with drawn from every one, she was more dark and had a glint in her eyes that to this day scared the crap out of him.
She had been back a month before they had found out that she had been in hell, a month before they found out that the way they thought she had died had been an elaborate lie all apart of her deal with the demon.
"Of course I do" Ash replied quietly he watched Kelisha smile and nod her head before walking over to him and placing a kiss to the top of his head. She stood their for a moment before she pulled away and headed out of the door not making eye contact with any one especially not the Winchesters sat at the table staring after her.
"Well that was interesting" Dean muttered while he turned in his chair so he could face his brother who had yet to turn away from the door that Kelisha had stepped out of a minuet ago. Dean rolled his eyes and waved his hand in front of his brother's face hoping to get a response and he smiled when Sam shook his head and turned to him.
"Yea" Sam replied, he had so many questions running through his head, he was making too many connects between the questions, it was now obvious that he getting possessed had been planned since day one, and that maybe them coming here and meeting Kelisha had been part of the plan to. If so he really didn't like the idea of them being pawns in the demons game of chess.
Dean nodded his head slightly baffled by his brothers odd behaviours before it clicked, he had a thing for Kelisha Dean smiled to himself, his Sammy sure knew how to pick them that was for sure. He couldn't go for the nice normal chicks, no he had to go for the half crazy ones or the ones with a worst past then they had.
"So Ash you going to fill us in" Dean questioned when Ash came back over to their table.
Sam watched as Ash sighed and seated himself across from them his hand running through his hair. He tilted his head and leant forward grabbing hold of his beer and taking a swig.
He wasn't sure why but their was something about Kelisha that seemed to draw him towards her, he couldn't explain it but there was something about her that was screaming danger to him, yet he completely ignored it, she could be the thing they had been looking for in their hunt for the demon, and if Sam knew his brother as well as he thought he did then Dean was going to suggest using her as bait and lure the demon in.
"It's a long complicated story" Ash heaved a sigh, when it came to Kelisha he would protect her with his life and laying down her life story was something he didn't do often, but he had dragged her into the Winchesters business and it was only fair to tell them about her, even if it wasn't all of it, he would leave the rest to her.
"We've got plenty of time" Dean replied leaning back into his chair a beer in his hand and his eyes on Ash as he waited for him to start the story.
Turns out long and complicated lasted for about half an hour and both Sam and Dean could tell that Ash had left some things out which meant he probably hoped Kelisha would fill them in later, so they didn't question him any further.
In fact neither of them was in any state to question Ash, they were both in a semi stage of shock, Deans beer was hanging loosely in his hand so loosely in fact it was in danger of falling, and Sams mouth was hanging open slightly as he regarded Ash wondering if the story they had just been told was a lie or not.
"Whoa" Dean managed to get out, he gripped the beet bottle and placed it on the table in front of them, his head swimming with a thousand questions.
"So let me get this straight, she made a deal with the demon to keep her brother alive she spent four years in hell the demon brought her back and her brother died the same time she was brought back"
Sam summarized and Ash sighed nodding his head slowly, he swallowed trying to get some moisture back in his mouth, he hated talking about her past, but right now he was beyond scared for her, she wouldn't talk to any one about her time in hell and he could see it eating her up slowly from the inside
"Does she talk about it?" Sam questioned and he watched as Ash shook his head, Sam nodded in understating wondering how in gods name she lived each day with everything she must have gone through.
"It was tough the first couple of months she wouldn't talk to any one hardly came out of her room, she had to be kept under constant watch, there was more then one time she tried to kill herself" Dean raised his brow and sat forward.
"She believed if she was back in hell her brother would be alive again" Sam answered for Ash because it was all falling into place and a nod from Ash told Sam he was dead on the money.
Dean sat back in the seat slightly shocked what ever he had been planning on hearing tonight what Ash had told them was certainly not one of them. He shook his head and laughed slightly causing Sam to raise his brow in question.
"Man I though our family was f up"
