Thicker then Water
Thunder clapped over head, lightening illuminating the old burned down house.
A father telling his son to take his sister out side, he soon joined them, and as a family they watched as there house burns to the ground, as their lives are destroyed.
FEAR. LOSS. PAIN. REVENGE
Four figures walk through the doorway of what is left of the house. They look at each other then split p.
SCREEMING. PAIN. BLOOD. FEAR. DEATH
Sam jumped up from the bed, sweet dripping down his body; he quickly scanned the room seeing that his jolt had awoken his family. He sat there his eyes locking with Catherine's as he tried to catch his breath.
Dean was at his side in a second, his father not far behind. Catherine on the other hand stayed on her bed, her eyes locked with Sam's, Catherine lowered her gaze and slowly made her way over to Dean, she sat at his other side, so she wouldn't have to look at Sam.
"Bro you ok" Sam turned his attention to Dean nodding his head slowly
"We got to go to the place that this whole thing started" Both John and Dean turned to face Sam then looked at each other then back to Sam. Fear entering every pore of there bodies, at the thought of going back home.
"So your saying that we got to go back home?" Dean stood and began to pace the room; the thought of going back home wasn't one that he ever wanted to think about.
"I don't mean our house" Dean stopped pacing and turned to face brother confusion written all over his face. His fathers face held the same look only his face held a look of relief as well.
"So where?" Sam turned his gaze to his fathers and shrugged his shoulders, that was a question that he couldn't answer, but he had a feeling Catherine could.
Dean retook his seat running his hand through his hair. He went to put his arm around Catherine's waist but she pulled away and went to stand against the opposite wall, looking at Sam.
"We connected didn't we?" Dean and John looked from Sam to Catherine and then to each other and shrugged there shoulders. Catherine raised her gaze on Sam and nodded her head, and slid down the wall her arm holding her broken ribs, Dean stood and walked over to her, sitting down at her side.
"Which means" Catherine nodded at Sam and placed her head on Deans shoulder.
"You two willing to elaborate?" Catherine and Sam turned there gaze to John
"He means that we have to go to my old house" John lifted his gaze fully to meet Catherine's, and could see all the pain that the idea was causing her. She smiled at him and then her face was an emotionless mask once again. He shook his head, he had taught her well.
Dean placed his arm around her shoulder squeezing reassuringly she turned to face him and smiled.
"So we go tonight but until then we are going to have to research the house" Everybody looked up at John and they all nodded there heads.
Catherine stood up with some help from Dean and went to put on her jacket and some jeans. She came out into the room a moment later and announced that she was going to get food.
"You want me to drive?" Catherine turned to face Dean and rolled her eyes at him.
"A. im a big girl and B. there is NO way in hell your driving my baby" Catherine exited the room and a moment later they could hear the revs of her engine and the squeal of tires as she pulled away. Dean turned back to the room to see that Sam had a smirk on his face.
"What are you smirking at"
"You two make the prefect couple" Dean flipped him of and headed to the direction of the shower. John sat on the bed and watched as his sons tormented each other with a smile on his face.
"Im gonna, shower then we can start with the research" Sam nodded his head at Dean and went over to his laptop and turned it on.
Sam heard the shower turn of and turned around to see his brother towel drying his hair. Dean looked around the room and noticed that his father was missing. He was about to ask but Sam had seen him looking and was answering him before Dean had even formed the question.
"He got an urgent call and left" Dean nodded and pulled up a seat next to his brother.
"So we got anything yet?" Sam turned to face his brother and nodded his head, moving slightly so that his brother could get a better look at the screen
"In 1979 a family moved in to Catherine's old house, the wife gives birth to a baby boy in 1980. 3 months later the wife dies in a house fire. The child name was Tio Perrely the father is a hunter that dad used to work with name Tom."
Dean sat shocked at the screen not believing what he was seeing. The picture he was looking at was a much younger version of the man that Catherine had introduced him to yesterday.
"I met him yesterday, his a cool guy, hell of a racer" Sam raised his eyebrow but didn't say anything instead locked the information away for further use.
"Three years later our mom" Dean looked towards Sam. He didn't have to finish the sentence. They all knew what happened that year, when the demon had taken there mother and changed there life forever.
"In 87 Catherine was born, three weeks later her mom dies in her nursery, her dad was also killed, killed in a fire. Catherine and her brother Tommy were put in to the care of there aunt and uncle. When she was six her aunt uncle and three year old cousin were killed again in a fire. She was then put into Tio's and his fathers care. Tom died shortly after her brother did."
Sam turned to face Dean waiting for Dean to say something. They sat in silence pondering the connections between the deaths.
"Well we should defiantly check the house out" Sam nodded in agreement, and both brothers turned there head when the door opened.
"I come bringing doughnut goodness, where's John" Catherine asked quickly scanning the room. She closed the door behind her and placed the doughnuts between Dean and Sam
"He got a call then left" Catherine nodded and turned her attention to the computer screen.
"I see you started without me" Dean and Sam nodded apologetically

John parked the car and quickly checked to make sure that his gun was in quick reach position. He exited the car and quickly surveyed the area. He turned when he heard a car approaching from behind. He tried to hide the uneasy feeling that he had, but he just could shake the feeling that this meeting was going to go well.
He watched as a tallish man, with brown hair and a body full of Tattoos exits the car. John noticed the slight limp and burns that he had down his neck.
"John"
"Mike"
Mike followed John to the back of his car where they would have more privacy.
"What is so important that we had to meet?"
"Tio died last night in a fire I thought it would be better coming from you"
John sighed and ran his hand through his hair. This wasn't going to go down well. John thanked Mike then got back into his car and made his way back to the motel, Thinking of a way to tell Catherine.

Sam sat on the hotel bed concentrating on the ring in Catherine's hand. He cleared his mind of all thoughts, and concentrated on lifting the piece of metal.
Catherine smiled triumphily when the ring lifted slowly from her hand. She looked up to Sam to see a huge grin across his face, she turned her head to Dean to see that he a had a proud look on his face. She smiled to herself and turned her attention back to Sam.
"Ok now then put it back into my hand" Sam stayed still, not wanting to loose concentration, two seconds later the ring lay flat in Catherine's hand.
Catherine stood and fetched him a glass of water in which he took gratefully.
"Tomorrow we can move on to something larger" Sam looked up at her wandering if he was ready for that yet. Dean caught the nervous glance and voiced his brothers concern.
"He ready yet, I mean he has only had two lessens" Catherine turned to Dean then back to Sam when she answered.
"Dean your brother is more then ready" The three occupants of the room turned to face the door, when they heard footsteps approaching, they only let there guard down when John was in the room and the door shut behind him.
"Hey dad we saved you a doughnut" John looked up at his eldest son and then to Sam, until his gaze fixed onto crystal blue eyes that were full of joy, and he knew that he was going to be the cause of her pain.
"Catherine I need to tell you something but you have to promise me to stay CALM" Catherine, Dean and Sam stared confused at John. Dean and Sam glanced at each other they couldn't remember the last time that they had seen there father so nervous.
"Catherine Tio died last night" Catherine's gaze snapped up to John as did Dean and Sams. The objects in the room began to shake and some where being lifted and thrown and smashing against the wall, both Dean and Sam only just ducked in time when there hunting dagger came flying towards them.
John looked directly at her and could see all the pain there. He sighed he had feared that this would happen. He hastily stepped closer to her.
"Catherine I need you to calm down" Dean and Sam stood from there crouching position and turned there focus onto her. Catherine's simply side stepped John and exited the hotel room.
"Move" Sam, Dean and John had followed her out of the hotel room and were now standing in front of her stopping her from going any were else.
"Babes you need to calm down" Catherine just looked at him without moving. Dean took it as a sign and moved closer.
He came closer and placed his hand softly on her cheek, she blinked once and then twice before collapsing into tears. Dean caught her mid fall and turned to his dad.
John looked in his sons pleading eyes and sighed deeply. He wished he could help his son but he had never had to deal with Catherine when she was like this. He watched as his son carried Catherine into the house before he and Sam followed. When they entered the room Catherine was asleep on the bed.
"What the hell just happened." Dean snapped his gaze to his fathers. John mentally sighed this wasn't going to go down well with either of his sons.
"She lost control, or to be more precise she let herself lose control" Dean turned to Catherine then back to his father, stood up and began to pace around the room. .
"So you're saying she let her power take control of herself." John looked up to his eldest son, and then nodded his head slowly.
Dean abruptly sat down on one of the chairs and then glanced up to his brother, who was sat nervously on one of the chairs. Dean quickly realized that he was thinking if she could do that that means so can I. Dean shook his head then turned to his dad.
"So what do we do" it was Sam who spoke, John turned to face both of his boys.
"I don't know ive only ever seen her like this at a side glance, ill call Caleb see what he has to say"
Dean and Sam nodded and went back to sitting in silence. Dean turned to Face Catherine and saw her stir slightly. She shot up and then fell back down holding her side in pain.
She sat up more slowly and then turned to face Dean and Sam.
"Sorry" Dean nodded and Sam left the room slamming the door behind him. Dean stood to follow him, but stooped when he felt Catherine touch his arm lightly.
"Dean let him cool of, let me explain what happened" Dean looked back at the door were Sam left and then back to Catherine. He nodded his head and sat down on the bed in front of her.
"Ive only ever lost control like that once. I was training a couple of people be better hunters, id been training them for two years so we were pretty close. I got a vision about a wolf in the woods that weren't so far from were we were. Anyway turns out it was a fake vision, and we were ambushed by ten wolves. I lost Chase, Luke and Tom and I ended up in hospital for a couple of weeks after the wolf nearly ripped my throat out."
Dean sat Staring at her and nodded his head slowly. If he had the same powers and he was certain that the same thing would have happened.
"So that's were you got the scar" Dean tenderly placed his hand onto her scar and she looked at him confused.
"What?"
"I was bitten by a wolf and you're not the slightest bit bothered?" Dean smirked at her before he placed his forehead onto hers.
"Sweetheart when we first meet it was a full moon and you weren't furry and ripping anyone's throats out and dad wouldn't have hesitated to shoot you. Catherine nodded before kissing him passionately; she pulled away and leant her head against his.
"I better go to talk to Sam" Dean nodded his head and watched her exit the room.

Catherine saw Sam sitting on the impala which was parked next to hers Skyline. She sucked in a breath and made her way over to him, sitting a top of her own car.
Sam glanced sideways and saw her sitting on top of her car staring forwards. He sighed mentally and stood up to leave. He made it half way to the hotel when she called after him.
"That want happen to you" He turned towards her and nodded after a while. He walked back towards her and stopped in front of her. He could see all the pain that was there and remembered back to after Jess died.
"How bout we go for a drive and ill explain properly" Sam nodded and walked to the passenger side and got in.
Dean looked from the hotel window with a smiled on his face, glade that they were going to be alright.
How wrong was he!
