Chapter 10: No More No More
Funeral day had finally arrived and the Winchesters were getting dressed in their smart black suits. Dean hated wearing them as he would prefer some jeans and a shirt with his jacket, but in order to save people he is willing to dress up like an idiot and swallow his pride. Sam on the other hand was very professional when it came to looking the part, then again to be a lawyer he would have to when he was representing someone. He was finished checking his suit now all he had to do was wait for Dean to stop fiddling with his tie and collar before they could leave.
After a few moments Dean finally felt comfortable enough to leave for the church. It was located in a small village in Hertfordshire, near where the family live. They arrived slightly early as very few people were there so they waited for Jenna to arrive. The brother's felt slightly uncomfortable here as they'd never been to a proper funeral, the closest they got was seeing the shape shifter Dean, even then they couldn't go close as people would find it weird with one Dean being buried and the other watching. The only part of the funeral they'd been to was the Wake.
Luckily though Jenna arrived minutes later. This time she arrived in a car, it was Charlie giving her a lift here, which was unusual as she always rode her bike. She wore flared black trousers and had a smart black jacket which was over her white blouse and finally some flat black shoes that were mostly covered so only the toe of the shoe was shown.
"Where's your bike?" Dean asked.
"I had a bit of an accident yesterday. Actually, it wasn't an accident. Some dickhead drove their car into me I mean how blind can you get. Nearly had to go to hospital 'cause I thought my leg got smashed underneath the weight of the bike. Yeah, so Charlie has ordered me some new leathers as a thanks for helping his friend at the museum and I've sent my bike in for repairs." she began shouting but then got calmer after taking a breath.
"You didn't help him at the museum, we did." Dean argued back.
"Well he did say to thank you guys for helping out but I made it sound like me 'cause seeing you angry has brightened up my day." she said with a smile.
"We're at a funeral, I don't think that was a clever thing to say." Sam quietly said to her while looking at the people staring at them.
"Oh sorry." she apologized.
They were then allowed in after following the coffin into the church. The three of them chose some seats in the middle of the rows on the right to be inconspicuous and disappear without anyone remembering them.
The ceremony began with a bible reading chosen by the family, a few prayers, a eulogy then some hymns. After, what Dean concluded as the worst part of the entire ceremony, the short service, they went out to the place where they were being buried. Jenna was standing next to Sam with Dean on the other side. She had a few tissues with her and began to fill herself with sad emotions. She began to shed a few tears which looked like she was sincerely upset about them being dead. She leant on Sam's arm and he thought she really was crying so he tried to comfort her.
Dean knew she was faking it so he leant across and whispered in her ear, "Why are you faking to cry?"
"It's a funeral, I'm blending in and also her mum will have a higher opinion of me if I want to talk to her." she quietly answered back. Before going back to sobbing on Sam's shoulder, who then carried on looking as though he was comforting her.
Dean rolled his eyes before going back to his stance with his fingers interlocked while looking at the ground. The body was slowly lowered down the six foot until it was carefully rested on the dirt below. The families then placed lilies on top of the coffin and some said a few words whereas others were swimming in tears.
Cressida's family started to leave, so Jenna quickly rushed after them without looking unusual. Sam and Dean stood at the side of the grave alone. Having never been to a proper funeral this was a new experience and it was slightly unnerving as they usually unburied people, that were mostly skeletons, and never saw them before they went six foot under. They never buried their mum, as there was no body, which was the same for Jessica, and they stole their dad's from the morgue so they could personally cremate him. They were trapped in their thoughts so they never heard anyone coming behind them until she rose on her tiptoes with a huge smile on her face, as she could just about peer over their shoulders.
"Hiya." she said quite perkily.
"Oh, hi." they said as they jogged themselves out of their memories and back to reality.
"'Oh, hi.' Won't ask." she said defensively as she raised her hands, "They're having the Wake now. Are we going?" she kindly asked, respecting that they probably had deceased loved ones and were most likely thinking about them.
"If we have to. Did you get any info from the parents?" Dean asked on a more serious note.
"Well right now isn't really the best time. It would be a bit disrespectful, if you know what I mean." she replied with an 'obviously' tone.
"Fine, let's go." Dean sighed.
They all sat in the car but this time Jenna was driving, as she knew where the family live. She turned the key in the ignition quickly placed it into gear and sped off down the road. She had a quite aggressive way of driving especially when going around corners at a speed higher than the limit. She took them down little villages with high embankments on either side of the road and where it seemed only one car wide. Eventually they made it to the small house in a local village near where her own family live, she thought that maybe she would go and say hi to her parents and little sister. She pulled the car into the close and slowly drove down the road and stopped just outside the house. After walking up the path she knocked on the door. A younger boy opened the door with a few tears trickling from his eyes, he looked about fourteen.
"Hey Milo. Do you mind if I bring in some friends. They thought that I shouldn't come alone to a sad event like this." she kindly said trying to sound happier without being insulting.
"No come on in then. If you like you can go and see her…old room." he snuffled before he left for the lounge.
"I wouldn't mind joining you." Dean flirtatiously said as he and Sam just got to the door.
"Ummm, let me think. No! Why don't you go and, mingle?" she said with large emphasis on the last word.
"Ouch!" he said pretending to feel offended, "I'm not much of a people person…" he began.
"So I gathered." she bluntly replied as she crossed her arms.
"That's more Sammy's field of work," he carried on like she didn't say anything.
"I'll meet you in five so try not to upset anyone." she replied before going through the door and up the stairs.
They partially followed her in until they were left alone in the hallway. Dean then headed to the dinning room for the food, when there was food that's where you'd normally find him or chatting up a girl with comforting advice, whereas Sam tried to find out information without sounding like an ignorant git. He avoided making relationships with women as they normally ended up where Cressida and Nadia are now.
Sam found her mother and was politely asking about why they were so far from home. She looked at him curiously before saying that they were at some friends house and because they left late they decided to stop off at the nearest place then got back to their flat, which they shared as it was near their college. She struggled to tell him everything through tears and sobs of sadness, it never crossed her mind that she was telling a complete stranger who didn't even know her.
Their female companion came down the stairs a few moments after leaving the Winchesters and looking around her old room. Most of her stuff had gone when she moved out but the bed was kept ready in case she ever came home. When she reached the bottom she peered into the dinning room and saw Dean chatting up one of her old school friends. Immediately she left the room, as she wanted to keep it that none of her friends knew what she was doing for a living. Silently she moved around the mourners in search for his younger brother. When she found him he was in conversation with her mother so she waited in the doorway. Finally he finished talking to her and said he was sorry for her loss before he looked around and quickly spotted her.
"Where's Dean?" he firstly asked.
"In there chatting up an old friend of mine." she said pointing over her shoulder to the dinning room door from which she made a hasty retreat from.
"Oh, wait a moment." he said before disappearing into the room.
A little while later they both came back to the hall. Suddenly the familiar sound of Deep Purple's 'Highway Star' came from Jenna's pocket. After looking at the number she once again flipped open her mobile and answered the call.
"Where are you?…OK. Could you drop me off somewhere, it's nearby before you ask…Thanks, be right out." she said before clicking it shut, "I have to go now so I'll see you around." she finally said before turning away and taking the first few steps to the door.
"How do we know you won't just do this alone." Dean quickly said, stopping her in her tracks.
"I'll call if anything important happens but I'm not going to be doing this for the rest of the day. I'm going somewhere I haven't been for about five years now." she replied while quickly turning her head around.
"How can you call if you don't have our numbers?" Sam asked.
"Thanks for reminding me. I got you these mobiles for over here and I put my number in it just in case." she said as she handed them over two different Motorola mobiles from her jacket pocket which they could fight over.
After she vanished out of the door they heard a car door open and saw her and Charlie drive off together. They decided that they didn't want to stay around there anymore and would head off for their room in Braintree.
Dean was so glad his car was coming in about two weeks so he could give back her weapons and finally be reunited with his baby. It was perhaps the only good thing in the future as he had just under ten months left on this level of the world before he went down under. Sam was determined to save his brother from his fate so he could live a proper lifetime, but time was running out and they were in a different country trying to warn people about demons.
They had to do this job before they go to other countries as they couldn't face people dying around them when they can stop it. Perhaps they could see if the Dracula legend is true in Transylvania, Romania, even though it's really based on Vlad the Impaler, but that could all be a cover story. Warning the world was their first step to achieving victory in this war between man and demon. They had to get around the world in nine months or less leaving enough time to save Dean.
