Chapter 4

A/N- I do not own Supernatural

It had been months since I had seen the boys. I occasionally would get texts from Dean to check in on each other but otherwise it was quiet from their end.

I did end up doing some cases for Bobby. Most of them were salt and burns but someone had to do them right? Plus he knew that I was just starting to get back into the business.

I was just getting back to the house after my first big hunt in a while, damn vamps, and I was surprised to meet the boys. I also saw a girl tied to a chair in the middle of a devil's trap. For some reason I was not surprised by this at, as if it was just a normal Tuesday.

"I would say that it's nice to meet ya, but it looks like the boys have a beef with you." I said looking towards the girl.

"Sarah?" Dean and Sam asked me at the same time.

"That was a little scary but, yeah… It's me." I said with a shrug. "So, anything I can help you boys with while I'm here?"

"I think we are almost done here." Dean said seriously. I watch him as they interrogated the girl, who I later found out was called Meg, and it took a bit of time but they finally got the information that they needed. Unfortunately, after exorcising the demon, they couldn't save the girl.

"I'm sorry." I said trying to side hug both brothers at the same time, once they had come back inside from taking care of the body. "But you can't save everyone, right?"

Dean gave a heavy and angry huff before pulling away harshly and slamming the door on his way out. I dropped my arm from around Sam and looked at him apologetically. He had his jaw clenched and looked like he was going to kill something.

"We have to go." He said to Bobby and I before following Dean.

"The two better not get themselves killed." I said with a sigh and rubbing my temples before following Bobby and sitting at the kitchen table.

"They're Winchesters… They're stubborn as all hell… It's going to take a lot to take them out." Bobby said patting my shoulder reassuringly.

"Good." I said with a small chuckle. "I've taken a liking to those boys. I haven't know them for long but I already feel like they're family."

I walked out of the house with two glasses of lemonade towards the boys. It had been a rough ride for them since I had last saw them and the whole Meg incident. Dean was obsessing over repairing the Impala and Sam was obsessing on trying to get Dean to release his anger and sorrow about their dad's death. Yeah, it wasn't healthy to hold these things back but Dean had his own way of doing things.

I was about half way to where the Impala was in the scrap yard when Sam angrily trudged past me. I sighed because we did not need the boys fighting right now. I kept walking towards Dean and Baby when I saw him pick up a tire iron and start hitting the poor girl.

Once he was done, I put the two glasses on top of one of the junk cars and walked up behind him. I wrapped my arms around his waist which caused him to tense up. I laid my forehead in between his shoulder blades and he eased just slightly once he finally realized it was just me.

"It would probably just piss you off more so I'm not going to say 'I'm sorry.' I don't think anyone really knows what to say in these situations." I said the last part with a sad chuckle. "I can tell that Sam is pushing you but he is having a hard time too and should listen to his own advice. Just take your time. Everyone deals with things differently. But, if you need someone, just know I'm here for you. And I make a mean Angry Moon to ease you up a bit."

I could feel a really small chuckle leave him when I mentioned the drink I made him when we first met a year ago. I loosened my arms to pull back but he put one of his hands on top of mine to stop me. He then flipped around and kissed my forehead before wrapping his arms around my shoulders.

"Thank you." He said it very quietly and if he didn't have his head resting on my shoulder, I wouldn't have heard it. We stood like that for a little while before he went back to working on Baby. I stayed with him handing him tools while he was under the car and to make sure she didn't take any more abuse from the tire iron. She was beat up enough.

"So… Vamps?" I asked stated are more of a question while Dean was packing up Baby. I was hinting towards Dean that I wanted to go on this hunt because I was getting tired of simple salt and burns.

"Yep. But you're not going." He said with a smirk. I hated that he learned how to read me so well and we had only known each other for a year. Bobby wasn't even that good.

"Damn it, Winchester." I mumbled under my breath

"By the way… I had a question for you." Dean said changing the topic. He continued once I nodded my head. "I heard you call Bobby 'Dad'. What was that about?

"I've always called him dad. He's pretty much the closest thing to a father I've ever had." I said with a shrug.

"Yeah?"

"Mhmm… My mom used to say that my actual dad got lost going to buy some scratchers from the gas station. Apparently, he got lost somewhere in those two blocks." I said with a sigh. "Bobby is technically my uncle because my mom and his wife were sisters. But like I said he is basically my father. Especially since my mom was killed. Plus, I like his last name better than my actual one. Smith… Too generic, you know?"

"What happened to your mom? I know you didn't want to talk about it a while back but I'm still curious." He closed the trunk and leaned up against it. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to though."

"It's alright I trust you." I could see a little flicker of light in his eyes when I said that. I never expected to trust a Winchester again but Sam and Dean were a lot different than John. "I was 17 so it was almost 8 years ago now. She was on a bad hunt. The one and only time that she went with a partner. And… I guess a head shot was easier than an exorcism. I was left at Bobby's so I didn't find out about her until two weeks after it happened. The bastard that killed her came and told me himself and he wasn't even sorry. I have tried to avoid anything that has to do with him in fear that I would kill him myself but I guess I couldn't avoid him forever. After that I lived with Bobby. He made me finish high school before I could hunt. I moved around a lot once I started hunting because I missed moving around like I did when my mom was alive."

"That's how you ended up in Texas…"

"Yepp… I found Molly when I was traveling and she's the only partner that I had before I went to find Sam with you. After my mom, I felt like I couldn't trust anyone besides Bobby so I didn't want to hunt with a partner."

"Who… Umm.." I knew what he was going to ask so I didn't wait for him to finish.

"I don't want to tell you who right now because there is nothing we can do about him. Besides, you have a hunt to go on." I said before giving his shoulder a light pat before turning to walk back inside. As I walked, I yelled over my shoulder with a smirk, "Go gank those sons of bitches! And don't get yourself killed!"

"You got it, sweetheart." I turned enough to see him return my smirk.

Haha! See what I did there? Making a reference to my other story. May be a little cheesy and stupid but oh well!

Thanks for reading y'all! :]
