Chapter Seven
Another year later, John, Dean and Sam were driving towards Texas from Mississippi when they decided they would get some sleep in a hotel instead of in the car like they had been doing for a few days now. Sam the year before had agreed to help Dean go looking for their dad and after his girlfriend Jess died he joined Dean for good in the battle to rid the world of demons. One time he had left Dean when he wanted to go help their dad kill the thing that had killed their mother, but he came back in the nick of time to save Dean from a scarecrow that was about to make him into mincemeat. But that was the last time Sam left. They agreed to follow their dads orders to get certain demons, but for the moment they were demon free. They hadn't come across a demon in almost a month. For the moment they all were headed down to Texas were they thought the demon had gone, the one that killed their mother. John had come to them and told them that he had found it and they all went in together with a few arguments and tried to kill it but it got away. John got possessed and they all ended up in the hospital when the demon tried to kill them all when he possessed a truck driver who in turn smashed his truck into the car Sam was driving to the hospital because Sam had tried to rid his dad of the demon and shot him, and Dean was hurt because of the shadow demon that were with the other demon.
Dean, Sam and John all filed into a small bar to ask if any of the locals knew of any hotels in the area. Inside the bar was filled with loud music. There was a small stage where a man with a guitar was playing some country song. And there were tables all gathered around it. The bar was behind the tables and a man stood behind it drying a cup with a red rag. The man motioned the trio towards him,
"you guys came just in time" the bartender smiled, "you're going to love the next act" the trio looked at each other but stayed silent as the stage was flooded with lights, green, yellow, purple, and a bit of blue. Deans eyes widened as Ally came on stage wearing a gypsy outfit that left her mid-drift bare and most of her chest exposed, her legs were seen but were more or less covered with a see-through blue material that matched her eyes almost perfectly. Around her waist was a small silver strip of material, around her neck a silver necklace that had a small pendant barely visible in the light that covered her. She had her hair curled and her face had some make up, that made her look almost angelic, soft and smooth.
Music came on and Ally began to dance, but not just any kind of dancing, Belly dancing. Her hips swayed along with the music and her arms flowed. If Dean didn't know better he would have sworn she was a born gypsy. Dean looked around; the men in the room were as hypmatised as he was, some where even gaping at her. Sam was staring, and even…drooling! Dean hit Sam behind his head. Sam shook his head and regained control. He gave Dean a sympathetic look, even though he didn't know that Ally was Dean's wife. Sam didn't even know that Dean was married!
"Go ask the bartender about a hotel" Dean had to shout to Sam over the music. Sam nodded, and added,
"Dean, man she's gorgeous"
"Get over yourself Sammy, and go!" Dean growled. John hearing the battle rolled his eyes with a small smile, which meant he recognized Ally. When Ally was finished Dean wanted to strangle her. All the men in the bar cheered and clapped, some whistled, and Dean wanted to kill them all. When she was done bowing and finally left the stage, Sam came back,
"Man, that was some performance" He grinned. Dean growled. "What's eaten you?"
"Nothing!" he barked and stormed out of the bar. Sam looked at John who just shrugged.
"So what did you find out, Sammy" asked John.
"Oh there is a motel just a few miles away in a town called Barbaydone." John nodded,
"Ok, would you like something to drink?" He nodded and then sat down at a near-by table. Ally who had just came out from behind stage dressed normally this time, in light blue jeans and a yellow top that said in black letters 'I may look happy and joyful, but I can change at any second, so back away, far away!' she was also wearing a white cowboy hat, and black heeled boots that went to above her ankle. Dean smiled at her as she came up to him.
"All alone?" she asked "This isn't the best of places to be by yourself" Sam grinned,
"I'm not" he cleared his throat, "I mean I'm not alone, that is"
"Oh, good" Ally smiled and held out her hand, "I'm Ally, are you new around here?" Sam took her hand,
"Sam and yes, my dad and brother and I are just passing through." He let go and Ally let her hand drop.
"Road trip?" she asked with a smile
"More or less" Ally nodded.
"Well it was nice meeting you, Sam" Ally smiled and waved her good-bye and strolled through the bar out the door with a small wave to the bartender.
"Here you go" John said and set Sam's drink in front of him. "What's got you smiling like a mad dog?" he asked as if he didn't know.
"That girl who was on the stage came and talked to me. Man she is gorgeous" John grinned,
"Ya she's something" he raised his glass to hid his smile. Sam glanced at the door of the bar, when he heard shouting.
"What do you thinks going on?"
"Another one of their battles I suppose" John grinned.
It was another one of their battles. Dean was leaning against his car hands in his pockets trying as hard as he could to keep himself controlled and not barge into the bar, fists raised and kill everyone in there for looking at his wife. But then she was the one making them look. Oh she is soo dead.
When Dean was about to go in there to look for her, she came out, as if on cue. She gapped at him when seeing him, her mouth hanging, and she stopped in her tracks. He just glared at her. They stood like that for a few minutes until Dean finally burst,
"What the heck were you doing" He yelled and grabbed her
"My job!" She chocked out, he was shaking her like a mad dog and it made it hard for her to talk, "Dean! Stop it!" Suddenly realizing what he was doing he let go.
"What the heck is wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with you, Dean?"
"I asked first" he pointed out, Ally sighed,
"I needed the money! Now what the hecks got you so riled?"
"You" He yelled,
"Me?"
"Oh don't act so innocent, we both know you're not!" Ally glared at him,
"I didn't do anything wrong, Dean"
"No?" He asked, "So its ok for married women to dance half naked in front of men, who are not her husband?"
"Well technically you were there so…" Dean stopped her,
"Don't even go there" Dean had his hands on her upper arms and he was squeezing. Ally looked a bit startled but didn't say anything."How long have you been doing this, Ally?"
"I don't think you want to know" she said looking down at his chest
"Why would I ask if I didn't want to know?" he raised his voice,
"Maybe you just wanted to hear yourself say it?" she asked in a weak voice. Dean almost laughed but he was still steaming.
"Ally!" he said calmly
"Almost five months now" Deans grip tightened.
"And how many…" his voice shook, "how many have you…" Ally's head shot up and she gaped at him,
"I never did no such thing!" She could have slapped him. Deans grip loosened but remained on her. She sighed, "I could never do that to you, Dean. Maybe other things…." She trailed off. Dean sighed and held her close.
"Man, why do you always get the good ones!" Sam sighed in the doorway seeing Dean and Ally. Ally blushed, but Dean held her tighter,
"Back off, Sam" Dean almost growled. "Ally, get in the car" Ally shook her head,
"No way!" she pulled out of Deans arms and backed up a few steps, "I don't want to go with you!"
"Ally, you will get into that car now!"
"Or you'll what? Tell everyone my deepest darkest secret? Go ahead Dean, do your worst!" Dean shook his head and grabbed Ally's wrist,
"Ally, please get into the car" Ally shook her head. "Ally" he threatened. John came up to them and pulled Ally away,
"Ally!" he said a little to happily for Deans mood, "Where have you been? Are you alright?" He hugged her and seemed to ask her a million questions. She nodded she was alright and added she had just been visiting some family and seeing some sights. John smiled, "we missed you!" Ally smiled back hugging John. They let go and John put a hand to Sam's shoulder, "Sam I want you to meet someone special" Sam smiled,
"We met" he added. Ally smiled at Sam,
"So this is the long lost brother!" she asked surprised, "nice to finally meet you Sam, I have heard a lot about you'
"In only a few minutes?" he asked a bit confused. Ally looked from Deans sulky expression to Johns bright cheery one.
"He doesn't know, does he?" John shook his head and Dean just shrugged and got in the drivers seat of the car. "Alrighty than"
"Ally" John said soothingly, "I would really appreciate it if you would come with us" Ally looked up at him, and considered it for a second.
"All right" she sighed, "I have an apartment in town, you guys can stay with me for a night or two. I will need to get a few things settled." John nodded, "You can follow me"
"Sam go with her, and Ally" he added with a smile, "Don't tell Sammy your secret just yet." He smiled, "let his brother" Ally nodded sadly and grabbed Sam's arm.
"Shall we?" she asked teasingly. Sam laughed, following her to her green BMW convertible. They got in and Ally started the car, "So Sam how was college life?"
"How did you know I went to college?"
"I guess you can say I'm a good friend of the family" Sam nodded,
"Well it was fun, I mean a good way to get away from…" he paused, "dad's business" Ally laughed,
"That's a nice way to put Demon hunting" Ally laughed,
"Sorry I didn't know"
"That I knew about the whole demon world?" Sam nodded. "Well Sam, consider yourself lucky, because my family has a whole history of hunters, goes back almost ten generations."
"Wow"
"Ya" Ally's eyes widened a bit,"So Sam, what did you mean when you came out of the bar and asked Dean why he always got the good ones?"
Dean glanced over to his dad, "So she's going to let us stay with her?" John nodded,
"Yup, and she is going to let you tell Sam"
"Tell Sam what?"
"Dean" John threatened.
"What its not like it's a big deal"
"Dean, your going to tell your brother your married, if I have to force you!"
"Dad I don't see why we cant just let him figure it out on his own"
"Because he is going to be mad enough that you guys have been together for a year and you still have not told him!" Dean sighed, and a few minutes later they pulled into an apartment parking lot.
"Dad, are you sure he doesn't already know. I mean Ally does talk a lot and it was kind of a long drive."
"No, Ally is not going to tell him. But he might tell her what you have been up to." John almost laughed. Ally waved them over once they got out of the car.
"Ok Sam, can you hold my keys while I get a bag out of my car?"
"Ya sure" Ally watched Dean and John walk over to her door next to Sam. She was boiling mad. So it was ok for him to goof off but she couldn't, oh he is soo dead, she thought as she pulled her trunk open and grabbed her brown bag out. She started to open it to grab a weapon to shoot Dean with but thought twice. Her neighbor Gladice would surely notice and Ally would most likely go to jail. Although she might as well since Gladice would already tell everyone how Ally brought three men home with her. Ally sighed and joined the guys at the door. "Everything ok, Ally" Sam asked. Ally nodded,
"Ya just great." She mumbled. Maybe she could get them all in before Gladice noticed, but no such luck the old woman had caught her before she could even get the keys from Sam.
"You-who!" she cried. "Ally, got a party planned?" Ally laughed a brilliant idea forming in her head,
"Why no Gladice" she answered innocently. The old woman came closer towards them.
"What are these men doing here than?" Ally laughed,
"why I'm paying them to be here!" Gladice paled,
"You what?" she choked out
"Their hired" Gladice paled even more.
"Hired?" she asked holding her heart.
"Yes, hired" Ally smiled, "I have to be entertained somehow, Gladice" the other woman choked some more and slowly walked away. Ally grabbed the keys from Sam," thank you Sam" she grinned. Sam laughed,
"Nosy neighbor?"
"You have no idea!" she laughed as the door opened. "Come on in guys" she waved them in, and then saw Gladice peering out her open window. Sam saw her too and grinned,
"So where can we get rid of our clothes?" he asked loudly and shut the door. Ally and Sam laughed and high-fived. "Did that help?" he asked
"Oh Ya!" Dean looked deadly as Ally passed him to get to the kitchen. Her apartment was small but nice. They walked in from the door to the living-room and next to it was the kitchen which was connected by a breakfast bar. There was three doors one in the kitchen and two in the living-room. The carpet in the living-room was a dark red, and the walls were a light pink, a couch in the living room was a tan color that matched the table in front of it. The kitchen was set in a dark brown wood, but the walls were a bright yellow. Sam grinned, so like a woman to have all these bright colors. Ally noticed Sam looking around, "I didn't pick the colors, it was like this when I moved in, not even the couch is mine" she opened a cupboard, "You guys hungry?" Dean's stomach growled and Ally smiled a little, she looked at John and Sam who nodded to her,
"If you're going to make some of that macaroni salad, Ally I would love it." John smiled and sat down at the bar.
"Is that a request?" John grinned. "Ok the macaroni salad it is. Sam is that alright with you?"
"Ya that's fine" He looked to Dean who was in the doorway to the kitchen as if daring anyone to come in there with Ally. "Dean?" Sam asked, but Ally answered for him,
"Oh Dean doesn't like anything I make, but he'll eat it" that wasn't true, Dean thought. He liked it he just didn't want her to know it. "So what kind of demon are you chasing this time?" Sam shrugged and sat down next to his dad.
"Well" John started, " I found him" Ally stopped and turned to face him,
"Him?" she asked knowing what he meant.
"I have been tracking him for a long time. I picked up his trail a few days before you left." Ally nodded,
"That's what took you so long?"
"Ya"
"That makes sense. Dean and I were worried" John gave a small smile,
"I know. I caught his trail and went to get you guys. But when I found Dean in the hospital I decided that I should keep it to myself and not tell Dean or Sam that I found it."
"Hear that, Ally" Dean spoke up "is your fault dad ran away and didn't tell us where he was, or keep in contact," he paused, "actually it kind of reminds me of someone" he smiled, "Know who I'm talking about, Ally?" Ally glared at him, and threw the wooden spoon she was using at him. He flinched but gave a small laugh. John slammed his hand down.
"Enough!" he looked at Ally and Dean, "We haven't even been together an hour and you guys are already at it again." His expression softened when he looked back at Ally "It wasn't you fault I did it Ally" she nodded and glared at Dean.
Dinner went by quickly John praised the macaroni as did Sam. Dean just sat there, he ate it but he was silent the whole time which was soo unlike him.
"Well guys I'm tuckered out!" Ally sighed as Sam finished washing the dishes. He wiped his hands on a towel and came to sit in between her and his dad on the couch. "Ok John," she pointed to a door in front of her, "You can have that room" she pointed to the other, "Sam you can have that one" she got up and wiped her hands on her pants. She smiled at Dean who was looking at her, "and Dean" she patted his shoulder and tisked, "you get the couch!" she smiled and said good-night then opened the door to her room which was close to the kitchen and shut it behind her. Dean rolled his eyes, heck if he was going to sleep on the couch.
"Sorry, Dean" Sam came over to him; "I might have told her what you got up to" Dean laughed.
"Of corse you did" Dean smiled. He got up and went into Ally's room and shut the door behind him. Ally was too busy going through some old books to notice the door open and close.
"Yes!" she said to herself, "I knew it!" then she grabbed another book and flipped through it.
Dean smiled, she never could hear things when she was doing something else. He looked around her rom. There was a bed in the middle of the room and a desk to the left full of books and papers, where she was standing. To the right was a bookcase with a few books, and a case at the bottom which he recognized as something he gave her to hold some of her weapons. He walked closer to the bookcase to look at the pictures she had on top. There was one of them from the "announcements" they had done for their fake wedding a few years ago, when they were just chasing a demon. It was cute, Dean though, Ally had her head on his shoulder and she was smiling which she rarely did around him. Her hair was curled like it was now, and she was wearing a light purple dress that shimmered slightly he remembered. Dean looked at himself in the picture he was wearing a smile that didn't quite get to his eyes and he had an arm around Ally. He remembered that day. It was the day Ally told him that they were going to have to go thought with the wedding because that was the only way they could kill the demon. Weird, Dean thought, that Ally would keep a picture of him when she hated him. There were a few more pictures on the bookcase, one of Adam and his boys all wearing fishing gear and the oldest boy, Jason; Dean remembered, was holding a huge fish in front of him. The other picture was of Ally and John, Ally was on Johns back laughing and John was too, he was giving her a piggy back ride. Dean sighed. The day that was taken he had decided to stay in the hotel room while they went out to "ketch some rays" as Ally put it. An old lady at the park had snapped the picture for them. Dean wondered what would be there if he had gone.
"What are you doing?" Ally asked behind him. Dean jumped slightly. "Get out of my room" she added a bit forcibly.
"Ally" he turned around, "you're my wife, and I am not going to sleep on the couch" Ally sighed,
"Why not?" she pouted
"Because"
"I hate it when you say that"
