A/N: Sorry it has been so long since I updated this but there is a hell of a lot going on in my life right now and I just haven't had the time, I will try to update quicker after this one.
Let me know what you think of this chapter…Please review.
Chapter 7 – Encounters of the Uncomfortable Kind.
They exited the bathroom when all had fallen quiet, Kia calling 911 on her cell phone as they walked through the dark apartment that was illuminated by the car burning outside. "Was he thinking you were going to be in there?" Dean asked Kia as she sat on the window ledge watching her car burn
"No, it's to easy to kill me that way, he just wanted to scare me"
"Will you let us help now then?" Dean asked Kia didn't answer she didn't know what to say, she was to busy watching her independence burn to nothing, the faint sound of sirens in the back ground but she knew it was too late to save her car. The car was what helped her in this fight, her car was her only means of travelling, she had to much crap to haul on to a train, bus or plane all the time. Without a car she would have to rely on someone else. She couldn't afford to buy a new car, so it meant she would have to let Dean and Sam help her.
Kia sat at the kitchen table, the cops had just left and the fire fighters were just packing up their equipment after taking almost an hour to put out the flames on her car. Sam was doing the gentlemen thing to do and seeing the cops to the door, Dean was stood in the kitchen leaning on the counter top still shirtless.
"Your way to good at lying" Sam concluded walking in to the kitchen regarding what she had told the police.
"You gotta think fast on your feet that's all it takes" Kia starred in to space, Dean watched her from behind her and knew she didn't like the fact that she was being forced to take their help.
Sam sighed and sat down next to Kia, "what you thinking?" he inquired seeing her thoughtful eyes stare at the nearest wall
Kia snapped out of her trance and looked at Sam "a lot of things"
"How about the fact that there was a bomb on your car which means he must be close by?" Sam suggested
"He's not in town, there will be a lackey hiding somewhere filming it"
"How do you know he isn't in town?" Dean asked walking to the table
"he's in a town about 5 hours from here, I've got someone watching him, they sent me a message a few minutes before I left here to tell me he was still there, he had someone else put the bomb on it"
"It's a delicate operation to put a bomb on to something, especially something as big as a car…" Sam explained to her "Kia they couldn't have done it whilst it was parked on the drive" he didn't want to say it out loud he knew she wouldn't like the accusation, Sam didn't like the fact that the thought had crossed his mind either but they had to look at all the possibilities. He searched her face for any sign of her realising what he meant but she wasn't thinking what he was thinking at all "they would have had to had the car for a few hours to put a bomb on it"
"You mean they stole it and bought it back?" Kia asked "they couldn't have not even from the bar, it's behind a closed and padlocked gate at the bar, no chance in hell they could have, and from here, there is no way you can get in to the car without it making a noise, I've been awake since I got home from the bar I would have heard it"
"I don't mean they stole it" Sam began "I mean someone took it to them and then they fitted it on"
The light bulb clicked and Sam could see in her eyes as the fury rose "no way" she raised her voice "you can't possibly think Sean took it to them? He wouldn't do that, no way!"
"Think about it for a second Kia, he took that car from the moment you got back from the park with Snipes he was itching to take that car and he was gone at least 3 hours with it!" Sam reminded her, Dean's mind began working over time, realising that Sean had borrowed Kia's car when he had come back to the apartment and given Sam a mouthful about telling their father about Kia.
"Well maybe they took it while he was doing whatever it was he was doing?"
"And what exactly was he doing Kia? Did he tell you where he went? What he was doing? Why he needed the car?"
Kia starred at Sam not believing he actually thought their friend, a guy that knew and had seen what Kia had gone through when her family were killed would conspire with the people who murdered her family? Was he seriously suggesting that Sean had given the car to AJ to put a bomb on it? The timer on the bomb had been set to blow when she wasn't in the car, someone must have told them what time she finished work so she wouldn't be in the car. She knew the bomb was just a scare tactic.
"Little Mr Prefect ain't so perfect anymore is he?" Dean commented. He was getting on Kia's last nerve; this wasn't the time or place for snide remarks about her and Sean. Dean needed to get over it and fast. "He conveniently left this afternoon to" Dean reminded her
"Does it matter now anyway? He's gone and so is the car" Kia stood up from her chair pissed off with this discussion.
Kia walked towards the kitchen door she wanted to get out of the room, but Dean couldn't resist "running away again?" he threw at her as she crossed the threshold
She shook her head and stopped but didn't turn around "as much as I want to I can't now can I?" she said without turning to look at him
Dean looked at Sam anger building inside of him, Sam shook his head at his older sibling telling him now wasn't the time to lose his cool with her. Dean didn't take any notice, couldn't hold it in "I'm glad he torched your car"
Kia didn't respond to his comment she just said "I wanna leave first thing in the morning, I want this finished" she continued to exit the kitchen
"So you can get rid of us?" Dean hollered after her
"IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK DEAN?" Kia asked storming back in to the room "THAT I DON'T WANT YOU AROUND, I WANT TO GET RID OF YOU?"
Dean didn't want to fight with her but if she was shouting at him he was going to shout back "THAT'S HOW IT SEEMS YEAH!"
"WELL YOUR WRONG, TOTALLY WRONG…" she yelled, then stopped, she took a deep breath and then continued "I've been alone in this for almost 4 years now and I don't like it not one single moment of it. I don't want to be alone but I don't have a choice anyone who helps me or I get close to he kills them and I'm left with nothing all over again! Can't you see that I don't want that to happen to you two? I'd rather be alone for an eternity than see you two die" Kia sighed then turned and left the room.
2 weeks later…
Just over two weeks had passed since Kia's car had been blown up, they had left the next morning, took everything they could fit in to Dean's car and went to the town Kia had been told AJ was in. he was already gone by the time they had arrived. It had been like that for the past two weeks, they were always a day or two behind.
They had killed a few vampires along the way, after getting as much information out of them as possible. They had been staying in crummy, old, smelly, rat infested motels to and Kia hated it, she wanted a decent bed and a decent shower, which according to Dean they were going to get soon.
An ex girlfriend of his, Beth, had called him 'something strange' had happened to her family and she knew he could help. All Dean had done since she called was talk about her, how great she was, sweet, funny, kind, generous, and caring. Kia knew he was only talking about Beth to make her jealous, it was working.
Nothing had happened between her and Dean since the night before they left. They spent most of their time avoiding awkward situations about what Kia had over heard when Dean accused Sam of telling John about himself and Kia, or they argued about the fact that Sean must have given her car to AJ to put a bomb on it.
Kia sat on the white sand of the beach, the sea air blowing her hair around keeping her cool in the sweltering sun; she listened to the waves as she watched Dean surf the biggest wave and appear on the other side of it as it curled over and crashed down. Dean jogged out of the ocean carrying his board, throwing it in to the sand before he got to Kia on her towel. She smiled up at him happily as she lay back to lie in the sun.
Dean climbed on top of her and lay flat on her "ew you're all wet" Kia moaned "I'm going to have to reapply my sun cream now!"
Dean smiled before kissing her "but you love me so you'll forgive me"
"your so lucky I love you Dean Winchester" Dean kissed her again longer this time, Kia felt something dripping on her neck, Dean pulled away from kissing her and Kia could see the two puncture wounds in his neck pouring with blood, covering Kia in his blood. "Dean your neck…"
"Are you happy now? You killed me just like you killed your entire family" Dean spat at her angrily; Kia looked around the beach and saw the bodies of her family, bleeding, dying, dead.
"Dean I didn't mean to…oh god" she saw Sam lying a few feet from her, half of his neck and chest missing he looked as if he had been eaten by something "oh god, oh god" Kia said more urgently as she looked around and saw Snipes lying dead beside her older brother "I'm so sorry Dean, I'm sorry I love you"
"I love you to" he said before leaning down and biting her neck, Kia screamed as loud and as hard as she could.
"KIA, KIA" Dean shook her awake, Kia shoot up in her bed quickly, Sam was stood at the bottom of the bed looking highly concerned and a little scared. Kia realised it was a dream and fell in to a heap in Dean's arms crying. Dean stroked her hair "hey, hey, it was only a dream your ok"
Sam disappeared to the bathroom and returned with a glass of water, he handed it to Kia and her crying calmed and she took the glass with a shaky hand "what did you dream?" Dean asked watching her take an unsteady sip from the glass.
"Nothing"
"It wasn't nothing Kia…" Sam began "…you were scratching at your neck" Kia looked at Sam not believing him, he was starring at the right ride of her neck, Kia climbed off the bed and went to the small mirror in the bathroom, she saw her neck had deep red claw marks where she had scratched it, some bits of the scratches where bleeding she put her hand to them to make sure they were real. They were real alright, tender, bleeding and red real.
Kia walked through the dingy motel room, it was a family room as that is all the small motel had available; the room consisted of two single beds and one double with the tiniest bathroom Kia had ever seen. She walked to the motel door "I need some air"
Dean gave Sam a concerned look and then left the motel room to talk to Kia.
Kia hadn't gone far, she was sat underneath the motel room window leaning on the wall, her knees pulled up against her body, she was hugging her legs and leaning her head on her arms. Dean manoeuvred himself down the wall and sat beside her "you'll catch a cold out here in that" Dean told her, he was making a joke it was hot outside, for 4 AM it was sweltering, Kia was wearing her pyjamas, a pair of black hot pants and a small yellow bra strap top.
"you wont do yourself much good either" Kia replied not moving from her position, Dean wore only his boxer shorts, Kia had woken himself and Sam from their sleep by screaming and he hadn't bothered to dress before walking out to find Kia.
Dean placed a hand on Kia's shoulder hearing the tears in her voice, she jumped at his touch "I know asking you if you're ok is a stupid question cause clearly you're not so I'll ask about the dream instead"
Kia didn't respond she just lifted her head up and wiped away the tears that were falling and then leant her head on the wall and starred up at the stars. The sky was so clear no clouds in sight, it was breath taking when you took the time to look at it, appreciate it "you ever wonder what happens after you die?" she asked "where we go? What happens to our souls?"
"I try not to"
"I know all about ghosts and stuff but ghosts are all about unfinished business, I kill AJ and that's my business finished, I die before I kill him then there's no way as a ghost that I could kill him so what would happen to me? Would I be reunited with my family? Or would I be punished forever for getting them killed?" starring at the stars the whole time she was in a trance
"Kia you didn't…" Dean began
"Don't" she shook her head and looked at him "don't Dean please, I can't deal with it right now"
"Ok" Dean agreed to not lecture her on how her families' deaths weren't her fault
"Do you know what my name means Dean?" Dean shook his head, no "Saskia means Protector of Man! That's a laugh right, I can't even protect my car let alone man!"
"That's not true…" he tried to find the right words but couldn't so he changed the subject "what was the dream about?"
Kia sighed she didn't want to tell him but she knew Dean wouldn't let the subject go until he got some details, she looked away from him "you dying, Sam dying, you biting me, it was real I could feel you sucking on my neck, I could feel my life slipping away"
"You think it was the kind of dream Sam has? One that's going to happen?"
Kia shook her head "no it wasn't"
"How can you be so sure?" Dean asked "I mean Sam didn't know it was actually happening until he saw it happen"
"Because we were happy, together, we were in love"
"And is that not true?" she looked at him again deep in to this eyes and he starred back trying to show her how serious he was "are we not in love?"
There it was out in the open; Dean had asked the million dollar question that had been on his mind for months, were they in love? Or was he just imagining that she felt the same way for him as he did for her? Dean had avoided asking her how much she had heard when he had had his little outburst at Sam; he was scared what her answer would be. But now he wanted to know, had to know, he couldn't hold it in any longer, he had to know if she felt the same.
Kia didn't answer him she just starred at him "I know you heard what I said to Sam the day Sean left and I've been avoiding asking the question cause I guess I'm scared of your answer. But I can't keep wondering how you feel, I need to know once and for all Kia, do you love me?"
Kia opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted "of course she does" Kia looked up to see AJ and three of his crew walking from behind Dean's car, Dean recognised him from the pictures Kia had shown him "you're funny, sweet, kind, a good looking guy, what's not to love?" he asked walking closer to them. Kia shot to her feet as did Dean "god you're beautiful" AJ told her looking her up and down
Dean moved in front of Kia, protecting her "what do you want?"
"I just came to see my favourite ex girlfriend" AJ told him
"I'm your only ex girlfriend!" Kia spat at him "I was the only person dumb enough to date you!"
AJ's fury rose and he decided this visit wasn't going to be just a casual chat as he had planned. He clicked his fingers and his three ex football player lackeys walked towards Dean and grabbed him, Dean tried to fight them and he got a few punches in but they over powered him and kept his arms behind his back. AJ flung himself at Kia pinning her against the motel wall by her throat. Dean struggled to get free again but didn't succeed.
"I've missed your smell" AJ said getting closer to her to smell her, "and that fine body of yours" he ran a hand up her thigh; she grimaced and pushed herself against the wall to get away from him to no avail.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Dean yelled.
"And what the hell are you going to do pretty boy?" AJ asked looking at Dean struggle against the guys holding him, AJ ran his hand from Kia's leg to her stomach to her breasts, and Kia turned her head so no one could see her face.
"Get your hands off of her" Dean didn't give up his struggle he wanted AJ's hand away from her; he wanted AJ away from her.
AJ laughed "stop me!" he taunted moving his hand back down her body and to her groin, Kia let out a smile cry as he pushed his hand hard against her Virginia.
Kia turned her head slowly tears streamed her face "please don't" she pleaded with him
"Don't what?" he asked "this?" he pushed his hand in to her again causing her to cry out again "or this" he looked to where Dean was being held and the tallest of his followers punched Dean hard in the face.
"AJ please leave him alone this is between me and you, please I'll do anything just don't hurt him"
"Anything?" AJ questioned
"Get away from them" everyone turned to see Sam standing in the door way to the room with a crossbow.
"Sam, no" Kia told him "don't he'll kill Dean if you kill one of them"
"She's right" AJ told him "and you really think you could load that four times before one of us takes you down?" Sam weighed up his options and knew AJ was right he couldn't do it, Sam rushed back in to the motel room before one of the other guys could grab him, he stopped outside the door not being able to enter, AJ looked back at Kia "you like that little none entry spell don't you?"
"It works"
"So back to this anything Kia"
"Your boys have gotta let him go first let him back in the room, then I'll do whatever you want but after that you gotta leave me alone"
"Kia no!" Dean shouted "I'M NOT LETTING YOU DO THIS!"
"Do it!" AJ commanded his boys; they pushed Dean in to the room and stopped him from leaving. AJ moved his hand from Kia's throat.
"Kia, no please don't, you don't have to do this!" ignoring Dean's yells Kia moved in closer to AJ kissing him firmly, letting his hands roam all over her body.
Dean stopped struggling against the guys holding him in the room and watched Kia kiss AJ, AJ moved down her neck kissing as he went, Kia looked over AJ's shoulder and saw the hurt look on Dean's face, it broke her heart to see the disgust covering his expression. Kia felt AJ's mouth open wider and knew he was about it bite her so before he did she kneed him in the groin making him fall to the floor like a sack of potatoes.
Sam came to the door and blasted one of the vampires with a crossbow making him turn to dust. The other two ran away as quick as they could. Kia ran in the direction of the motel door and managed to get inside and close the door.
