Hey Supernatural fans. Thank you for all the lovely review's, and all the thank's goes to my cool followers.
Cas didn't know what fanfiction was, so I showed him. Now Dean is pissed at me because now Cas knows what Destiel is. So Dean is not happy with me. Haha.
Carry on wayward Supernatural fans.
Different But The Same.
The grey stormy clouds match the mood in the motel room. The rumblings of the thunder in the distance was like foretelling of the storm that was to come. Hell, anyone who walked by could feel the tension from the outside.
Sage and Dean hadn't spoken two words to each other since the 'conversation' they had the day before in the Impala. Hell, it was like they didn't see one or the other. Dean wouldn't even look at her, and she was pretending he wasn't even there completely ignoring him. It was childish she knew, but she didn't care.
They Just got to the motel where Sam told them where to meet him, and they had arrived an hour ago. Dean drove without stopping. But that was just fine by her. Sage tried to listen to what Sam had found on the case so far. But she found her mind wondering to the dick that sat as far away from her as possible as if she had the deadly plague. Being a big baby.
Fine, two can play at that game.
Sam, seeming to pick up on the tension cleared his throat, jarring them both out of their thoughts.
"So, as I was saying" he said darting looks between them both "I think There are more then one werewolf"
"What makes you so sure?" Asked Dean, clear across the room, leaning against the wall his arms folded across his chest.
Sage sat at the small table with Sam, pretending she heard nothing more but the breeze.
"Sam, why do you think that it's more than one?" She asked.
"Um - two body's, killed at the same time" he looked at Dean then at Sage. "Is everything OK?"
"Yes!" Exclaimed Sage and Dean in unison.
"Anything else?" Asked Sage.
"Yeah. But it's weird"
"Weird how?" Asked Sage and Dean simultaneously.
Sam gave them a strange look. His eyebrows raised, but he didn't comment.
"Um - Before the wolf ripped out the victims hearts they were drained from all blood"
"A Vampire working with a werewolf?" Asked Dean.
Sam shrugged "Not the weirdness thing that's happen"
"But still weird" said Sage "I don't remember that ever happening before in my world on the show. ." Dean's words echoed in her ears.
This wasn't the show, this is life now, and It was time for her to stop referring that it was otherwise. Yes, in her world it was just a TV show, but here it was so much more. She could be so much more.
"What I meant was, I don't think this happen before" she looked at Sam "has it?"
"No. I say we should see what's going on here"
"Yes. If two monsters are working together that's never good. But what about the missing person in Yellowstone?"
"Cas Said he'll check that out" Sam sighed heavily "Let's start at the body's"
"Alright. Give me a few"
Sage started to get to her feet when Dean said "No"
She glared at him "Oh, wow" she clasped her hand over her heart dramatically as she rose to her feet. "He had finally blessed me with his voice, whatever shall I do?"
He glared at her "You're not going, your gonna stay here"
"Like hell I am"
He uncrossed his arms and took a step forward "Sage-"
"Don't you 'Sage' me Deano!" She snapped "Thought we already established that you can't tell me what to do"
"This isn't the show anymore Sage! This isn't your world! This world - our world is bloody and screwed up!"
"I know that!" She shouted "And I don't care!"
"YOU should care! because you can never go back to that life!" He shouted back.
"I don't want to go back! I hated my life! I hated that life! I hated getting up and going to work! Coming home Just to do it again the following day! I hated it Dean! And so did you when you thought Sam was in hell!"
"That was different!"
"How was it?" She asked meeting his gaze for the first time in a day. "How was it any different? Because your Dean? Because you had someone? But it wasn't enough was it? Because the person that was most important to you wasn't there, Sam wasn't there. And look where you are now. Back in a life you tried to run from, and do you know why?"
He didn't answer.
Without thinking she crossed the room, and placed her hand on his chest. He tensed but didn't flinch away. She could feel his broad chest underneath his T-shirt, could feel the muscles.
"Dean" she said quietly.
After a moment his eyes met hers.
"Because that wasn't who you are" her hand slowly moved from his chest to his shoulder to his arm to his hand. Her heart was pounding, but she ignored it. "Because this is who you are, this is where you're meant to be. A hunter is who you are. Why can't you see that it's the same for me?"
With that, she took a step back letting go of his hand as she turned to the bed, grabbing some clothes and headed for the bathroom.
oOo
Dean's heart was pounding. He just stood there like a fool with his hand over the spot Sage's hand was not moments ago. His skin burned where she touched. The smell of her perfume - shampoo or whatever it was lingered.
Sam cleared his throat "What was that about?"
"Nothing" he lied.
"But Dean-"
"Sam!" He snapped "Drop it!"
"That wasn't 'nothing' Dean. What's going on with you two?"
Dean wanted to tell Sam everything right then and there, wanted to say how much he care's about Sage. But he couldn't, he couldn't because Sage was in earshot. And he didn't want her to know, because she's better off not knowing. He knew her feelings for him, and that's why she can never know he feels the same. Cause if she did she would never leave, and if she never left she wouldn't be safe. And she would be safer far away from him, the farther the better.
Sam needed to know what Cas told him, and he needed to understand that it would be better for her if she wasn't in their life. Sam thought of Sage as a sister, he needed to know.
"Sam-"
Just then Sage emerged from the bathroom wearing a white button down shirt and black dress pants. Her glasses on the top of her head. Her hair pulled back in a bun. She looked like Dean's fantasy sexly librarian.
"Well, we going or what?" She asked as she walked passed him without so even a glance, to the motel door opening it and going outside.
Sam sighed "Dean?"
"Go with her. I'll ask around"
oOo
Sam and Sage followed Dr. Willow to the morgue.
Dr. Willow was a middle aged man, graying hair at his temples, and bright blue eyes. The guy reminded Sam of a grandfather.
Dr. Willow held the door for them.
"Thank you" Sage murmured.
Sage was unusually quiet.
Sam wanted to ask her about it, but everything about her was screaming at him that last thing she wanted was to talk about it. And when Sage, like Dean, didn't want to talk about it, then not even torture could get her to talk. He swears, he had never seen two people who were more perfect for each other but refused to do a thing about it in his life. And lucky him he was stuck in the middle.
"Here we are" Dr. Willow declared as he pulled back the sheet from the first body.
Sure enough, the victim had no heart, just an open hole in his chest where his heart once had been.
"Was he the only one found?" Asked Sage looking away from the body.
In that instant Sam realized that this was the first time Sage seen a dead body in person. She had gone with them on hunts before, but she usually waited outside, or was at the motel doing research as he and Dean handled this part. Sam was impressed that she was handling it as well as she was. He felt proud.
"No, his wife was found in the same way"
"What are their name's?" She asked quietly.
"Anna and Joe Swan" said the ME.
"Has something like this happened before around here?" Asked Sam.
"A matter of fact there have. Anna and Joe Swan make ten body's. All men and women, not necessarily married but in relationships"
In relationships? That's a new one on him. So, a werewolf and a vampire is going around killing people who are in relationships? Yeah, that's a new one.
"Huh. Thank you for your time Dr. Willow, we're be in touch" said Sam.
Sage looked at the body one last time before turning and walking out of the room.
"So what you think?" She asked when they walked outside.
"Don't know" sighed Sam, running his hand through his hair. "This is a new one. In your world, did this happen on the show?"
"No. But I got to episode 19 on season 10 before I did the spell. So maybe? Don't know"
"Well, nothing else to do but keep digging"
"Right"
"It's definitely a vampire and a werewolf"
"Definitely"
"That's it. What happened with you and Dean?"
"Nothing"
"Huh, you know, Dean said the same thing"
Sage looked at him when they got into the Impala.
"Okay" she sighed "We had a disagreement about me being on this case"
"Right, nothing new"
"This time was different"
He frowned "Different how?"
"He's pulling away from me Sam, like Dean does. I can feel it. But there's one thing that he's not counting on"
"Which is?"
"The harder he pulls away the deeper I dig my heels, the rougher he pushes the tighter my grip, the more he fights the more I hold. I'm not going anywhere, he's just going to have to come to terms that he's stuck with me"
With that Sage looked out the passenger window, as Sam started the Impala and drove on the road.
Oh, Dean doesn't know what he got himself into, but Sam had a feeling he was about to find out.
Good, he's glad.
