"You let me out Mary! You
let me out now!" she shouted.
"No. Because you're not my
mom!" I screamed at her.
"You ungrateful little bitch! I've been your mother for the past ten years! Put up with your whining, your perfect grades, your slaughtering! For what, for you to send me back to hell? I don't think so!"
"Leave her alone you bitch!" Ellen hugged me against her. "You don't have to stay for this honey!" she whispered to me. "You can go!"
"No, I want to stay Ellen."
"Stop being brave! Let Danny take care of you!"
"Okay." I smiled and went to go up the stairs.
"Oh, you haven't even got the decency to do it yourself! All you Winchesters are just the same!"
"For one, I'm not a Winchester. And another thing, you don't deserve for me to do it! I just watched your daughter being sent back to hell!"
"Who, Fly?" she looked like she may actually cry.
"No, the other one, Meg!"
"You little bitch!" she screamed. "
"What was your plan? Why look after me?"
"No, my plan was to get rid of you and then she could have your pretty body, then we were going to tear the hunters down one by one! They all trust and cherish you! It would have been flawless. But the Winchesters kept showing up, or Danny or anyone who could get in the way!"
"Come on Mary." Danny whispered and I let him pick me up. "We'll know when it's over!"
He took me upstairs and lay with me on the bed whilst I cried it all out. Not understanding half of what had happened or why it had.
"You'll be fine! I'm
here now! When that demon is gone, Ruth will come back!"
"But
I don't know her Danny! I know the demon inside her, not my actual
mother!" I cried and he held me closer. The whole house shook. It
had taken a lot less time than it had with Meg. But we weren't
interrogating my Mom, we just wanted her safe and alive.
We came down the stairs to
find her lying on the sofa, looking tired and worn, a blanket over
her legs. I ran to her and sat next to the sofa.
"Mary!" she
smiled and kissed me on top of the head as I had my forehead on her
hands.
"I'm sorry Mom! I should have known!"
"No, you couldn't have sweetie!" she moved my head up to look at her. "Listen to me! I'm so very proud of you! You have no idea how much I've loved the woman you've become! I've been there for some of it!" she smiled tiredly with tears in her eyes. "I want you to...to..." she coughed and Ellen handed her some water.
"What Mom? What do you want me to do?"
"Go to your Uncle John! He'll look after you!" she beamed. "And I want you to have everything, the house, the car..." she laughed as did I. "the company. It's all in my will anyway. I've had it written since you were five!"
"Mom, you're going to be okay aren't you?" I asked her.
"I'm so very tired Mary. Exhausted with life. The demon, she's worn my body through. I can't go on any longer! I'm just glad to see you one last time!" she beamed as I silently cried. She beckoned me so she could whisper. "I like Danny! He'll be a good husband and father! Trust me!" she hesitated. "John knows who your father is! He'll tell you when the time is right!" she kissed my cheek and she dropped.
"Mom!" I looked at her body, limp and lifeless on the sofa. "Mom, come on! Please, Mom!" I screamed and Danny pulled me away into his arms.
"She's gone Mary! I'm so sorry!" he held me. "I'm so sorry!"
"I need Dean!" I begged him and he pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialled Dean.
"Winchester, it's Danny. Have you found...yeah...Mary needs you...it's..." I took the phone from him.
"Dean!" I sobbed.
"Mary, what is it?" he
was worried.
"Meg...she was right....and Mom...she didn't
pull though!" I sobbed "I killed her Dean. I may as well have
taken the Colt and blown her brains through!"
"I'm coming now, we're on our way! Hold on for me!"
"I'm not going anywhere. My things are still packed." I nodded as Danny took them to the door. "Please hurry Dean!"
"We're coming into Chicago now!"
he informed me and put the phone down.
"I'm sorry Danny, I
have to go with them! John's the only parent I have left!"
"I know that." He smiled and held me on last time. "You'll be safer with Sam and Dean! We'll sort this out with the police! When you come back, it'll all be sorted out!"
"I love you!" I buried my head in his shirt.
"I love you too!" he kissed me head and I heard the front door open and close.
"Mary?" Dean asked, breathless before he touched my shoulder. I went to him without a second thought. "Come on, I've got you know!"
I nodded against him. "How's Uncle John?"
"He's fine, what could beat him?" he smiled trying to lighten the mood. "We have to go! We don't know if we were followed or what." He apologised to me. "Danny, get her bags for me?"
He did as he was told without a second thought and took them to the car. "Come on half pint!" he picked me up and I buried myself in his jacket. "Thanks Bobby."
"Anytime Dean. You look after her!" he warned.
"I will. Take care." He took me to the car and placed me in the front seat.
Danny stood there and I let him kiss me goodbye before he shut the door. He placed his hand on the window and said goodbye in his own way as my fingers touched the tips of his through the rain marked glass. Dean pulled out of the driveway and pushed the car as fast as it would go to the middle of nowhere.
