Chapter 4 : Changes
Dean finally convinced the hunter to put down the gun and we all sat at the small kitchen table. I sat directly across from the older man (whose name was Frank), and I don't blame him for wanting something between us. My glowing eyes were enough to scare me. Sam broke the silence, "How do you know Castiel?"
"He talked to be in a dream, said he would 'need me soon enough', but he wouldn't say anymore."
"Cas doesn't do full answers." Dean informed the older man. There was another awkward silence and I tried to think of something to say, but I never got the chance. "So Castiel did something to change this girl's eyes, and he sent you to me. What for?" Dean shifted nervously. "We don't really know. He disappeared after telling us where to find you and now he won't come when I call." Frank chuckled. "He's not a dog kid, he's an angel."
"That's never stopped him from showing up before."
"He didn't say anything else?" Frank seemed to be itching for any information on the Holy Tax Accountant. "No sorry." Suddenly, my gums that had previously been numb and/or tingly seared with a horrible pain. I grunted and raised my hand to my mouth, which was no help because my fingertips suddenly had an awful case of killer pins and needles.
All three hunters stood and Frank reached for his gun, but Dean stopped him. The same pins and needles feeling swept through my feet and I jumped out of my chair, though my balance was terrible and I wobbled and almost fell. Dean grabbed my arm to steady me but that only resulted in my arm letting out a terrible crack and I fell to my knees.
My back jerked and I crumpled to the floor screaming. All at once everything hurt. "Jessie!" Dean was shouting and Sam was trying to take Frank's gun before he could shoot me. Sam shoved the man hard and he let go of the gun steading himself on the counter behind him. Dean was on his knees trying to help me up. I tried to tell him no. Everything hurt and I wanted to scream some more but my voice didn't work. Like I didn't have one.
Dean tried to help me up again but Sam stopped him. "No! Her spine's broken, you'll kill her if you move her!"
"We have to do something Sammy! We have to help! Frank," the old man could only stare, "don't just stand there call an ambulance!"
"Dean, her bones spontaneously started breaking how are we going to explain that?"
"I don't know Sam!" I felt something cut the inside of my lips and I tasted blood, but I couldn't care. Everyone went quiet and suddenly, I could hear everything.
The water dripping from the sink upstairs, the mouse scurrying in the wall, and most alarmingly of all, four hearts pumping like freight trains.
Then everything stopped.
As quickly as the silence had fallen, something exploded. Or maybe it was me, but my skin tore and my face stretched, smells exploded in my nose. My head felt as though it was being beaten into a different shape, and I couldn't hold back the screams. My spine hurt most of all. It grew and stretched and so did my ribs, until finally, after what felt like hours but I knew could have been only minutes, it all stopped.
I lay on my side with my eyes closed, not wanting to move. I feared I was dead, but I could still hear and smell everything. The four hearts still pumping so fast they must have been on fire. Everything felt different. "Jessie?" A voice asked, so quiet if I hadn't been listening I would have missed it. Dean.
Suddenly Frank's voice roared, "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?! THAT'S NOT A GIRL THAT'S A BEAST!"
*GASP* whatever will happen next? ;P
So, this is my first real fanfiction. Sorry the OC is totally out there… I wasn't really thinking when I wrote this and it seemed like a good idea at the time just like basically everything I do… yeah well… yeah…
