Let me know what you think of this chapter and I'm starting on the next one now. Now this one is almost finished, but there will be a sequel!!!


Chapter 25 Sorry Isn't Enough

Alexis POV

I woke up some time later in what I guessed was our next hotel room. I turned over and watched as Sam slept. For the first time in a long time, he looked peacefull. I got out of bed as silently as I could and went to shower. I smelled like something that just died. I had no idea what happened to Kate or the rest of the vampires and I had no clue how far away we were. After showering and dressing, I exited the bathroom to see that Dean was awake and sitting at the table.

"How you feeling?" I shrugged and sat on the his bed and put my boots on. He turned around to face me and then it started. "I'm sorry about what happened."

"No need to say anything. I figured it would only be a matter of time before you followed in dad's footsteps." I said without looking up. I knew that might have pissed him off, me compairing him to dad and all, but I did it anyways. I heard him get up and felt the bed sink next to me. I lifted me head enough so that I barley had him in my line of sight.

"I know I deserved that and that I deserve so much more for what I did."

"Got that right." I whispered thinking he wouldn't hear me. Wrong.

"Can you at least look at me?" I inhaled and looked at him straight in the eyes. "I'm so sorry Alex. I don't know where that came from. I was just so angry and I took it out on you." I let out a small chuckle. "What was that for?"

"That's what dad said when it first started with him. Then you know what happened?" He shook his head. "It got worse Dean. It's only a matter of time that it'll get worse with you." He tried to put his hand on my shoulder and I quickly pushed it away. "No."

"It's not going to get worse because it'll never happen again. I sware to you that it never will." I looked up and him and then over at Sam to see that he was awake now.

"Morning Sammy." I said with a smile as I stood up and went to the door. Safe to say that Dean was on my ass in seconds. "Calm down. I'm going for a walk to get some coffee. I'll be back in a few."

"Remember what happened the last time you left?" I turned and looked at him.

"Well whos fault was that?" Oh yeah! I just left Dean speechless. I turned and left to get my coffee.

Sam and Dean

"What the hell is her problem!?" Dean said sitting back down on the bed. "She knows she shouldn't be going off alone like that." Sam sat up and glanced over at his older brother before knocking him right on his ass. "What the hell Sam!!?"

"You know damn well why she wants to get out of here so bad and why she left the last time!!" He screamed as he stood up. Dean was just sitting on the floor looking at him. "You hit her man. After everything that dad did and you promising that no one would ever lay a finger on her again, you're the one that did."

"I know that Sam and don't you think that I feel horrible about it? I know what I did was wrong and I tried to talk to her about it, but she just up and left like that." He explained as he pulled himself back onto the bed. "And I have to give you some credit too. That's a hell of a right hook you got there."

"Not this time Dean." He looked over at Sam confused. "You can't just make a joke and make this go away. You hurt her more than anything. You're supposed to protect her and look out for her, but instead you couldn't control your temper and you caused that pain." Dean just let the words sink in and stared at the floor. "You know that I have no idea how you're going to fix things between you two, but you better do it soon before she's out of your life for good." Sam got up and went into the bathroom and left Dean to think. He must have pased the room for hours by the time Alex came back. She looked over at him and took a seat at the table.

"Can we just talk about this without screaming? Please." She looked up at him and nodded. "I know that I lost all the trust you had in me and I'm sorry for that. I also know that no amount of apoligizing is going to make it better."

"You're right about that. Sorry just isn't going to be enough this time Dean. Of all the people I've met in my life, you, Sam, and Matt were the only ones that treated me like I was someone. Like I was a human being and then after what happened. I'm sorry Dean."

"You have nothing to be sorry for. It was my temper that I couldn't control and I took it out on you knowing full well that I shouldn't. None of that was your fault. All the blame goes to me." She glanced up from her cup and watched as tears escaped his eyes. "I just want you to trust me again and not leave me."

"Why would I leave you?" He looked up into her eyes. "No matter what you do, I'm not going to leave you. You and Sam are my family. The only one that I have left now. Sure what you did scared me and the thought of you doing it again is still somewhere in the back of my mind, but that's not enough to get me to leave." She said with a smile. Sam was just leaning against the wall of the bathroom listening to what the two were saying. Even he had to admit that it was bringing a tear to his eye.

"But you ran away." She shook her head and took his hand into her's.

"I ran because you scared the hell out of me and I didn't know what else to do. That doesn't mean that I'm going to up and leave you. We'll work through this. I mean if I can survive dad and a cave of vampires, not to mention Kate and Luthor, you should be a cakewalk." She laughed that last part. He even smiled a bit as she wiped the tear from his eye. "I love you and Sam more that anything. Sure both of you can be royal pains in my ass, but I would have it no other way."

"My god! It's Oprah live!!!" Both Dean and Alex turned to Sam as he was wiping a tear from his eye. "That was just...just..." And he fell to his knees and pretended to cry like a baby. "BEAUTIFUL!!" This was inturupted by two pillows being thrown at him. "What did I do? It was."

"You were just being an ass." Dean said with a smile planted on his face. Alex slid over and let Sam sit next to her.

"So you worked everything out then?" Dean glanced over at his little sister and she nodded. "Good because I got a message from dad and I think that we need to do something about him and soon."

"So what does the message say?" Dean took out his phone and handed it to Sam. After reading it, it handed it back to him. "So we have to go to Missouri?"

"Looks like. I think we should head out as soon as possible. I really wanna finish this thing." Alex nodded and the three packed up the impala. The ride to Missouri wasn't so bad. Sam and Alex busted on Dean a lot about everything from his taste in music to his love for his car. They arrived at another crap motel at roughly around seven and after checking in, Dean thought it would be a nice idea to call daddy. "I think we might have to wait on the whole calling dad thing." Both Sam and Alex looked over at him as they continued to unpack.

"Why's that? I thought you wanted to finish this as soon as possible." Sam asked as he sat on the bed facing Dean.

"I do, but I found something that I think is more important right now."

"What is it?" Dean pushed the laptop to Alex and she started reading what he found. "I just can't believe that you were doing research." She said with a smile. Sam even chuckled and Dean rolled his eyes. "Alright. Gruesome murders? How is this our thing?"

"Simple. From what police and whoever else saw the body, they all would have sworn that some kind of animal killed them. All the victims were inside either their house or apartment, with the doors and windows locked. Yet something got in and torn them to pieces."

"That's pleasent." Sam added as he sat next to Dean. "So what do you think might be doing it?"

"I don't know. I was thinking werewolf, but they would leave some kind of clue don't ya think?" Sam and Alex nodded. "Alright. I think we should dig deeper into this. Talk to some locals and I know a good place to start." He smiled and headed for the door. Alex just glanced over at Sam and shrugged.

"You going to tell us where we're going?" Dean turned around and looked at his brother and sister.

"The last victim, Tracey Barns. She worked at a local bar not to far from here. I was thinking to talk to some of her co-workers and see if she was acting strange the night she died."

"And you want to meet some local ass as well." Alex whispered. Dean just turned around and nodded. "So off to the bar we go."

"I think I'm going to stay here. See what else I can dig up." Alex and Dean turned around and looked back at Sam. "What? I think you both can handle this one your own. Just call me when you found something out."

"Will do Sam." Sam went back into the motel room as the other two made their way to the bar. It was right down the street and they made it in not time. It was awefully full tonight and Dean made sure to tell Alex to stay close to him. She just rolled her eyes as the two sat at a table in the back of the bar. "I'm going to talk to the bar tender. Stay here and don't move."

"Got it!" She said with a fake grin on her face. Dean just smiled and went to talk to the bar tender. Alex was looking around the place. Half the people in here were either college kids or old greasy truck drivers. "This is pleasent. Shoulda stayed at the hotel with Sam."

"Hey!" She turned around and was looking at a young girl no older than herself. "Here alone?"

"With my brother and I don't flow that way." The girl laughed and sat down. "Uh?"

"I don't flow that way either. Just saw you sitting by yourself and since I was also alone, thought to come over and talk to you. Names Meg by the way." Alex just started at her. How bad could she be? Plus she might be able to get some information out of Meg that might help them find out what they're dealing with.

"Alexis. You live around here?" Meg took a sip of her drink and nodded.

"For the past three weeks I have. Just moved here for Utah. You?"

"Naw. Just passing through." Meg smiled and nodded as Dean came back over. "Get her number?" Dean looked at his sister and then Meg. "This is Meg. She just moved here. Meg, this is my brother Dean. He's a sex hound." Dean slapped her on the arm and she just laughed.

"Nice to meet you." Meg said with a smile. "How long you two staying in town?" Dean was just stareing at her. No doubt he thought she was hot. This made Alex roll her eyes time and time again.

"For a few weeks. You said you just moved here?" She nodded.

"For three weeks. Not a bad town except for the recent murders. They kinda creep me out and make me wanna move again." Alex glanced over at Dean. "You have heard about them, haven't you?"

"Yeah. Not much about them though since the police are keeping in under wraps." Meg nodded.

"I know. They just don't want to scare people. I happen to know a few pieces of information if you're interested." Dean raised a brow and Alex was all ears. "I happen to know that they people who were murdered, their hearts were missing."

"Their hearts?" Dean asked. Meg just smiled and nodded. "How do you know that?"

"It's not that hard to figure out since I was the one that sent the thing that killed them." Meg answered as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Dean stood up and pulled Alex up with him. "What? You're not thinking of leaving me, are you? We were just getting to know each other."

"Who the hell are you?" Alex was standing behind Dean and didn't notice the man coming up behind her.

"I already told you. Names Meg." She smiled as her eyes turned black. Dean was about to attack her, bit Alexis muffled cries forced him to turn around. He saw the man holding a cloth over her mouth and went to intervien. "I think not Dean." He was hit from behind from yet another black eyes man and fell to the floor, right next to his sister, unconsious. "Now let's go find that brother of yours."
