~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Chapter 36
"It started some… what two years almost. Just out of the blue and at first they were just nightmares that I tried to ignore but when they came true I couldn't ignore them, especially when I saw people dyeing and I could help." I explained. Dean wasn't looking at me but then again he wasn't saying anything.
"So what you see when people die like days, hours, or minutes beforeit happens? Do you have to be near them or touching them?" Nat fired off one right after the other. The entire time he looked to me with curiosity and a friendly face. He didn't seem fazed or put off, exactly interested in hearing about it. "You said they started as nightmares what are they now? Can you summon one or cause one to happen?"
"No in fact they seem to be connected to other's like Nad and I. And no I can't control them, they just happen. Right now there more like headaches that build into a vision, that either brings me to my knees or just stunts me." I answered and then a thought hit me. "Hey Nad said her's started several years ago. How many years ago?
"Well that's the thing, I'm not sure if Nad is one of the children Azazel chosen or whatever he's doing, for her ability started a good year or so after she started hunting. Only it started out with her being able to see the truth. She didn't think I knew till a month later when I caught her testing it out and outed her. But the fact that she could exactly see the truth of someone helped in spotting the prey, it even made figuring it out a lot easier."
"What now?" Dean asked as he just stared at Nat before looking to Nad.
"Ok when Nad holds her weapons or gets someone in her devil traps, it's like the curtains are pulled back and she sees what they truly are. It's scary but helpful and useful on a hunt." Nat explained like it was an everyday thing and not something to be scared of, like I know Dean was feeling right now. "Though two years ago on that Ghoul hunt everything changed. Cause instead of it being something mental that we could hide, she now could compel things and that meant others could see it. I was scared that someone would start to hunt her but no my father instead wanted to train her and use it on every hunt." Nat explained leaning against the wall.
"So what about Jack?" Dean ask and before I can hit him over the head he adds. "Does she have a power or something, meaning she is definitely one of the children."
"Yeah she does only it's weird." Looking to us as he thinks then expresses, "Both Jack and Nad are family you have to understand that. Neither one knew what was happening when it happen they just learned to accept it ok." Nat says standing upright and looking to Dean then me. "Jack is entoned with what people are feeling especially when it comes to Nad one of the many reasons she keeps smiling. She doesn't want Jack to worry about her."
"Ok what?" Deans ask as I say, "She's an empathy."
"Yes that's a good way to put it." Nat explains as steps away to pace. "She senses when a mood changes especially when something dramatic or drastic has happen to someone she loves. Though over time she started picking up the senses of others and at first there was nothing we could do but watch as she experienced their feelings then it changed and suddenly she started to get the memories of those events as she experienced their feelings. But that turned out dangerous cause if the person was hurt and she sees it then she thinks it happen to her. Just image explaining this to her teachers and friends."
"So how did you fix it?" I ask taking the seat so to be out of his way.
"Well at first she was kept home but Jack wouldn't have it then Nad came up with something. She told Jack to focus on the nails of the hand." He smirked at our expressions but continued explaining. "Nad had Jack paint each nail on each hand a different color and if she saw that her nails weren't colored then it wasn't her. That made a big difference and has even helped in finding the people. Because having Jack pinpoint on one fact made it easier for her to exactly follow the memory without fear."
"So you have come across others? Other Children?" Dean asks. I know what he's thinking, cause it's what I'm thinking.
"Yeah a few…" that's all he said as he paused to look to Nad. "Not all of them were really nice and Nad hated it but we had to kill two. Though it really sucked when Jack experienced it."
…
There wasn't anything to say after that. Dean knew how much it torn me up that this was done to me and others. Especially when we learned that some of them didn't use it to help others but to hurt. I wonder if Nad will kill Jack if she starts to use her ability to hurt others.
We sat in silence for maybe 20 minutes, each lost to his own thoughts when a phone started ringing. It was Nad's. The sheriff was calling to arrange a meeting to pay her. Nat took care of it, telling the Sheriff that he had just shown up and that Nad was sleeping being as she had been up all night. It wasn't lying but then again neither Dean nor I knew if we should go, that is tell the sheriff called Dean.
"Hello Agent Roth speaking." Dean said when he saw it was the Sheriff. "Yes we know. Ok will Agent McCartney is busy finishing up the paperwork," at that I glared at him he just waved me off as he continued speaking. "so I'll meet you and Roger's at the station. Oh yes he can be trusted... How it go last night? Well sir it wasn't pretty and I have to say it was the weirdest nights in my career. Yes I'll see you in ten." At that Dean hanged up and swiped at his head like he had worked up a sweat as he looked to Nat "Wow I've never had to do that. Do the sheriffs always question your methods?"
"Yeah but Nad usually puts them at ease or changes their minds about even thinking of asking any questions." Nat says getting up.
Though before Dean could get up I demanded, "Dean what paperwork?"
"Oh will with the way you look plus the fact that someone has to stay behind with Nad, I just went with the first thing that came to mind." Dean said getting up and walking to the bathroom to clean up before he changed his clothes. Nat though gathered up all the paperwork and I helped only he carried it all to the woods behind the motel and burned it.
"We don't need anyone knowing what we were looking into or trying to recreate it." Nat explained as we were walking back in.
"Hey Nat one more question." I asked stopping him short of the door. "Why did Nad stab Paul and say "Anima et corpus in perpetuum!". I know it means something about the body and soul together forever. But Paul had died long before the fighting had started."
"You have to ask Nad that question. I don't always get what she sees or thinks. I know she was binding their souls to that location so they can never jump into another body but her reasons I can't answer that." Nat said and right then Dean exited the motel and waved as he headed for his baby. "Ok Sam look after my sister and we'll be back with food and the cash." Nat said slapping me on my shoulder as he took off to catch up with Dean before climbing into the jeep and following Dean to the Sheriff's station.
Sighing as I entered the room I became stunned at the sight before me, for there standing before me almost nude was Nad. I say almost for she was still trying to get her shirt off.
So what do you think happens. Who should Nad end up with... come on review and tell me. ~~Mary Mab
