Chapter 38

They got back to Bobby's late that night and all of them went straight to bed. The next morning Dean went out to work on the car. Katie didn't go with him because Bobby picked up a couple laptops while they were gone and she wanted to set hers up. Sam was doing the same.

Katie was digging through her stuff trying to find some of her program disks that had survived the crash when she heard the back door slam closed. When she looked up to where Sam was sitting, he was no longer there. Katie shrugged her shoulders and went back to what she was doing. A few minutes later, Sam came back in and sat down in front of his computer. She was about to ask Sam if he was ok when she caught a whirlwind of emotions from Dean. A few seconds later, she heard the sound of shattering glass come from outside.

"Stay here." Katie said to Sam as she got up and hurried for the door.

"If he's hurt.." Sam started to say.

"He's not, physically any way." Katie called over her shoulder just before the screen slammed closed.

Katie stood on the porch and watched Dean beat on the Impala with a crow bar. She wasn't quite sure what else to do but stand there until he was done. When the crowbar got stuck in the hole Dean made in the trunk lid, he let it fall to the ground. He started to pace for a second, but stopped when he saw Katie standing on the porch watching him. He stood there staring at her for a second and then collapsed to the ground.

Katie ran over to Dean, sat down next to him, and put a hand on his shoulder. She was a little surprised when Dean wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a very tight hug. They sat there like that for quite awhile. Dean's emotions were all over the place, but Katie stayed quiet until she picked up a surge of anger from him that he almost immediately felt guilty for.

"It's ok to be mad at him for leaving." Katie said softly.

"That's not it." Dean replied.

"Then what?" Katie asked.

"It's nothing." Dean replied as he slid across the ground to sit with his back against the Impala.

Katie moved to sit next to her brother before she spoke again.

"He told you, didn't he?"

"About what?" Dean asked.

"About Sam." Katie replied telepathically.

"What about Sam?" Dean asked.

"That we may have to kill him." Katie replied.

Dean nodded. Katie was so furious she probably could've spit bullets.

"Damn him." Katie spat out.

"You weren't gonna tell me?" Dean asked.

"Not unless I actually had to do something." Katie replied. "But what I do know of Sam, I don't think it's ever something we have to worry about."

"You sure?" Dean asked as he looked at Katie for the first time.

"Of course." Katie replied with a smile. "It's Sam and he has us to keep him that way."

Dean smiled and nodded. They sat there in silence for a few more moments, then got back up to work on the car. Dean looked at the hole he'd made and shook his head.

"Why did you just stand there and let me do that?" Dean asked.

"Because you needed to." Katie replied.

"Well, now we need to get a new lid." Dean said.

"No, we don't." Katie said. "I can fix it. Just a little weld and sand job. Bobby's got the tools I need in the shop."

"Everything ok out here?" Sam called from just inside the back door.

"Everything's fine Sam." Katie replied. "Why don't you come help me get this off so I can fix it."

Sam walked down the steps and over to his brother and sister. He took one look at the trunk and his jaw dropped open.

"What happened?" Sam asked.

"Nothing." Dean replied.

"Just a little pent up aggression." Katie said. "I can fix it. You wanna help?"

"Yeah, sure." Sam replied.

Sam helped Katie take the trunk lid off and then carried it to Bobby's shop for her. Katie followed him and got the tools she needed while Sam set the lid up on an old engine stand. Sam stood there staring at the trunk lid for the Impala.

"What's wrong Sam?" Katie asked.

"Dean did this, didn't he?" Sam said, still staring at the hole.

"Just a little explosion." Katie replied. "It happens every couple of years or so."

"He's really isn't gonna be ok, is he?" Sam asked.

The look Sam gave Katie nearly tore her heart out. She wanted to tell her little brother that everything would be fine, but there was no use in lying to him. Sam was just now beginning to see how truly messed up their older brother was.

"No, he won't." Katie replied. "It's gonna get bad and he's probably gonna scare the crap out of you."

"You're not scared of how far he'll go?" Sam asked, truly curious.

"No." Katie replied flatly.
"Why not?"

"Because I've done much worse." Katie answered.

Before Sam could ask another question, Katie started pounding out the whole Dean had made. The truth was, that she was a little scared of how far Dean would go because of what he had seen her do after Laura died. She just hoped Dean wouldn't follow in her footsteps.

A/N The next story is called "Dreams of Her Past" I think I may have to up the rating on that one to M because I do something very not nice to Sam. I'll post the first chapter on friday and let you guys decide if that's what I need to do or not. Thanks again to everyone.
