Note: Hey guys! This chapter might seem very abrupt and hasty but as I already mentioned, I'm gonna finish it in a chapter or two because I don't think people like the story very much. BUT I do want to put an end to it, a closure. There's a LOT of info here about the story/plot, that I wanted to reveal in a span of 20 chapters or more but... I hope you find it okay. Don't hesitate to write me in case you find it complicated. Thank you! ~ImmortalityWinchester~ xo
Dean fought to wrap his head around everything that had happened. What John had told him, how Dannie had turned out to be another supernatural thing, how Deana had showed up and rescued them with the help of Doc, how fast he'd picked up Dannie in his arms and had gotten out of the building…
"Dean? Hey!" Deana hit him in the arm; that seemed to work as Dean broke free from his trance. He realized that he was clutching Baby's seat and he let go.
"You okay?"
Of course she didn't give a rat's ass about him, but why did she sound that worried about his wellbeing?
"I-a… What the hell just happened?"
Deana looked at Dannie through the rearview mirror. Dannie nodded to her mother to tell Dean the truth.
"It's a long ass story but I'll do my best to give you the juice of it!"
"Please do!" Dean was pale, as if he had left all of his blood to that place, with John. John had managed to steal a part of Dean.
"John didn't leave after mom died… He left us after Samantha was born. Years later, mom found out that he was the one that had started the war that led our world to this. She went to hunt him down… I followed her… John ripped her heart out in front of me… I was 36. Em, the crazy guy with the goggles, is a Traveler. The last of his kind. He used to work for John until in one of his trips he saw what John was truly capable of. That's when he came to Sam and me."
"What's the deal with 'Carrie' over there?" Dean pointed at Dannie with his chin.
"A Witch we held hostage once, Rowanna-Rowena or something, had told me that I'd bare a child who would be either the death of us or our salvation."
"Us?"
"Mankind."
Dean was all caught up to Deana's story. He felt as if he was stuck in a punk'd episode or a very bad written sci-fi movie.
"She was right… A year later, Dannie was born. She was… different. Every other kid…died but Dannie didn't. Sam found about a prophesy that said: the last child of mankind will be the first child of Evil and it will flood the earths with fire and blood and… and it will deliver its new kin their new domain as they feast upon the mortal…"
"She doesn't seem that evil to me." Dean winked at Dannie who had already started crying in the back seat, by listening to her mother describing a fate that was written out for her…
"That's because many people gave their lives to keep her safe, to keep her pure! Good people!"
"Hey! Don't!" Dean felt that Deana's last sentence was an insult towards the poor girl.
The three of them spent a few moments in silence but Dean needed more. He had to know everything.
"He said something about how my…kid is supposed to be like 'Dee'. I don't… have a kid."
Deana looked at him as if he was mistaken, dazed even from all the injuries and tiredness of the past day, but he couldn't be wrong about his own life.
"Em explained it to me: there's the Verse and there are smaller, parallel universes. This is one of the many. Things are different in every universe but some others do not change. The things that are crucial to the Verse's existence are the same or similar in every smaller universe. I got a sister, you got a brother. You were Hunters from a young age, Sam and I became Hunters later on but we're still Hunters in a way. Dannie is my kid and she's powerful, probably the most powerful creature after God, and your kid is supposed to be like that. If you don't already have a kid, best guess is that you will have a kid. What can I tell you Dean? This is how it's supposed to be. I don't make the rules!"
Dean was getting offensive. He just didn't want to believe her. He never thought for an instant that he could have his own kid, not really. Let along that it would be doomed to be in the supernatural fight way before it was born.
"But there's one thing I know: only one child will save the entire Verse. It could mine, yours or 'hairdresser Dean's' from the universe next door! All of us have destinies to fulfill but only one will save the rest."
Dean couldn't believe what he was hearing. Deana's words made sense and they didn't, at the same time.
"What about the Amulet?"
"I'm not sure… All I know is that your Amulet is the only one in the whole Verse." Dean was surprised to hear that. Deana parked in the Fortress' garage.
"I guess I'll have to find and then ask Chuck 'bout it." Dean said as he opened Baby's door and stepped one foot out. He realized that Deana was staring at him in confusion and stepped back in.
"Yay high, drunk writer that calls himself Chuck rather than god?"
"You know god?"
"Yeah, why, you don't?"
"Uh, no? Are you being serious?"
"There's a god?" Dannie sighed and let a river of tears roll down her face. She seemed relieved, she had found peace and comfort at Dean's reveal. She had spent years of being afraid of herself and her powers, she was drowning in her own skin...
Dean helped her out of the car and hugged her. There was a beam of hope in this kid's dark life and Dean Winchester had given it to her.
