I woke up early to notice Dean stir awake as well, Sam's still asleep
"Should we wake him?" I asked
"Nah the alarm should go off in about a half an hour" Dean said
"Mmk i'm hitting the shower" I mumbled getting out of bed
I set my stuff down on the bathroom counter and sighed looking in the mirror. I turn seventeen next week, I just can't believe it's almost been a year since everything went down. Oh how time passes
Conor popped up
"Yeah I know" he said
"what?" I smirked talking to his reflection
"You can't fool me Holls i've been around awhile I know that look" He chuckled
"It feels like just yesterday I was given amazing privilege of being hired as your reaper" He said sarcastically I hit his shoulder
"Shut up, you love me i'm a joy to be around" I smirked
"Oh yeah, I love you like a disease" he remarked
"So whats going on in reaper town?" I asked
"It's been quite, the busy holidays are basically over" he said
"The only thing left for awhile is valentines day how many deaths could there possibly be?" I laughed
"Oh you'd be surprised. There's lots of lonely people on valentines day" he stated
"Makes sense" I shrugged
"And thank you Conny for making Valentines day morbid" I said
"I actually have to go take care of some things I should be gone awhile but back before a certain pain in the ass turns seventeen" he smirked
"Wow you remembered" I said
"Of course. Holland Elizabeth Winchester, born on January 13 at 2:45 AM Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Kansas. It's all hardwired up here" he pointed to his head I just laughed
"Well if you know all of that at least tell me your actual birthday" I said
"December 3, 1823 Northern Ireland" he said
"I'll remember that" I smirked
"I better get going. But i'll be back, promise" he said
"Should I tell you to be safe?" I smirked
"No but I need to tell you...Be safe baby Winchester" He said I gave a nod
"Alright...well get out of here perv. I need a shower" I joked
"I'll see you later" he said
"Be safe" I smiled
I took my much needed shower and walked out of the steamy bathroom to see Sam still sleeping and Dean tying his shoe. Asia's "Heat of the Moment"came on the radio and successfully scared the crap out of me.
"Rise and shine, Sammy!" Dean yelled
"Dude. Asia?" Sam asked amused as he sat up
"Come on. You love this song and you know it" I remarked
"Yeah, and if I ever hear it again I'm gonna kill myself" Sam said
"What? Sorry, couldn't hear you" Dean said cranking up the volume, Sam laughed
We started getting ready, i'm just thankful I jumped in the shower first
You wouldn't think the three of us fit in front of a motel mirror to brush our teeth but we've had plenty of practice in our lives
Dean was gargling his mouthwash excessively loud to annoy Sam and i'd say he was successful, I just laughed and walked out with Sam
"Whenever you're ready, Dean" Sam said, Dean was looking through a bag for his gun.
Dean pulled out a red bra with black lace stripes on it and a red bow. I instantly recognized it
"This yours?" Dean laughed asking Sam
"Oh my god! Dean! what the hell!" I Yelled
Realization hit him like a truck he instantly threw it on the ground
"Ah! Oh my god!" He yelled I picked it up off the ground and stuffed it in my bag
"Why was it in the bag?!" He yelled
"I don't know! Sometimes clothes just end up random places" I shrugged
"Well why does it look- like that! You don't need one like that!" He said, I instantly knew what he was talking about
"Its a bra Dean!" I said, Sam was just amused by this whole situation
"Like you haven't seen a bra in your life" I chuckled
"It's a sexy bra!" He exclaimed
Me and Sam laughed
"Yeah well nobody better be seeing that!" He said
"Too late" I mumbled loud enough for him to hear just to fuck with him
"The hell was that?!" He said
"Oh nothing" I smirked walking out the door
We headed to the nearest diner
"Now who's ready for some breakfast?" Dean asked as we walked in
"Drive safely now, Mr. Pickett." The cashier said handing him his change
"Yeah, yeah" he replied
We sat at a booth
"Hey. Tuesday. Pig in a poke" Dean read off the specials board
"You even know what that is?" Sam asked
"No but it sounds fantastic" he smirked
"Hello my name is Dorris i'll be your waitress. You three ready?" She asked
"Yes. I'll have the special, side of bacon and a coffee" Dean ordered
"Coffee and a short stack" Sam ordered
"Chocolate chip waffles with a side of bacon, hash browns, coffee, and orange juice" I ordered
"You got it" she said walking off
"I'm telling you, Sam, this job is small fry. We should be spending our time hunting down Bela" Dean said
"Okay, sure, let's get right on that. Where is she again?" Sam said
"Being a bitch" I replied
"Look. Believe me guys, I want to find her as bad as you do. In the meantime, we have this" Sam said
"All right, so this professor" I started
"Dexter Hasselback was passing through town last week when he vanished" Sam read
"Last known location?" Dean asked
"His daughter says he was on his way to visit the Broward County Mystery Spot" Sam said I laughed
"What?" I asked
"Where the laws of physics have no meaning" Dean read off the flyer
Dorris walked over
"Three coffees, black, and some hot sauce for the—" Dorris said the hot sauce fell off the tray and broke on the floor
"Whoops. Crap! Sorry" she said
"Cleanup!" She called to the kitchen
We ate our food started to head back to the impala. Were discussing the case more
"Sam, joints like this are only tourist traps, right? I mean, you know, balls rolling uphill, furniture nailed to the ceiling" Dean listed
"they're only dangerous to your wallet" I added
"Okay, look, I'm just saying, there are spots in the world where holes open up and swallow people. The Bermuda Triangle, uh, the Oregon Vortex—" Sam said
"Broward County Mystery Spot?" I said in disbelief
"Well sometimes these places are legit" Sam shrugged
"All right, so if it is legit, and that's a big-as IF...what's the lore?" Dean asked
"Well—" Sam started
Dean accidentally bumped into a blonde girl
"Excuse me" she said
"Well? Sammy the lore?" I asked
"The lore's pretty frigging nuts, actually. They say these places the magnetic fields are so strong that they can bend spacetime, sending victims no one knows where" Sam said
"Sounds a little X-Files to me" Dean said as we passed two movers trying to fit a piano through a doorway
"Told you it wouldn't fit" one of them said
"What do you want, a Pulitzer?" The other one asked sarcastically
"All right, look, I'm not saying this is really happening, but if it is, we gotta check it out, see if we can do something"Sam said
"All right, all right, we'll go tonight after they close, get ourselves a nice long look" Dean said
Later that night we headed to the "Mystery Spot" yeah right this place is totally BS
Dean was shining the flashlight around and up onto a table, lamp, and ashtray attached upside-down to the ceiling.
"Wow. Uncanny" I remarked sarcastically, Dean chuckled
"Find anything?" Dean asked Sam
"Nope, not even a live wire" Sam said holding up the EMF
"Do you have any idea what we're actually looking for?" I asked
"Uh ... yeah" Sam answered
Dean raised his eyebrow skeptically
"Really?" I asked
"No" Sam answered
We continued to look around
"What the hell are you doing here?" The owner asked, he had a gun pointed at Dean
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. We can explain" Dean said putting his hands out
"You robbing me?" He asked
"Look, nobody's robbing you, calm down" I said
"Don't move!" The owner yelled at Dean
"Just putting the gun down" Placing his gun at the ground the owner fired, Dean fell back
"Dean! No!" I screamed, tears already forming in my eyes
Me and Sam ran over to Dean
"Dean! Hey! Hey!" Sam said Holding Dean
"You son of a bitch! Call 911!"I yelled
"I didn't mean to—" the Owner started
"Now!" Sam yelled. I grabbed Deans hand
"Stay with me De, we're getting help...we're getting help oh god. Dean!" I cried
"Hey, hey, oh, no, no, no ... not like this..." Sam cried shaking him slightly. How could this be happening
"Dean! No please De! Please! Don't do this, it's not your time yet!" I cried
"Dean, hey! C'mon Holly's turning seventeen next week! You have to see that! You have to be there when that happens! Stay with me!" Sam yelled
Dean went still
"No! De please no!" I cried
"Dean" Sam said
I started to feel a pain in my chest, when I looked down there was a bullet wound in the same place Dean got shot
"Sammy" I said
"Holly!" He yelled
I woke up early to notice Dean stir awake as well, Sam's still asleep. I had the strangest dream
"Should we wake him?" I asked
"Nah the alarm should go off in about a half an hour" Dean said
"Mmk i'm hitting the shower" I mumbled getting out of bed
I set my stuff down on the bathroom counter and sighed looking in the mirror. I turn seventeen next week, I just can't believe it's almost been a year since everything went down. Oh how time passes
I jumped in the shower, I couldn't help but feel serious Deja vu
I took my much needed shower and walked out of the steamy bathroom to see Sam still sleeping and Dean tying his shoe. Asia's "Heat of the Moment"came on the radio and successfully scared the crap out of me.
"Rise and shine, Sammy!" Dean yelled
Okay now i'm starting to seriously freak out, I know this happened. It wasn't a dream, but it had to be
Sam sat up looking despondent
"Dean" he said
"Yeah get ready" Dean said
We're brushing our teeth in the bathroom, I remember this
Dean was gargling his mouthwash loudly, but Sam didn't react
"Whats wrong?" Dean asked
"I had the weirdest dream" Sam said
"Oh yeah clowns or midgets?" Dean laughed
We headed to the diner and sat at a booth
"Hey. Tuesday. Pig in a poke" Dean said
"It's Tuesday?" I asked
"Yeah" Dean answered looking at me like I was nuts
"Are you three ready to order?" Doris asked
"Yes, I'll have the special, side of bacon and a coffee" Dean ordered
"Just a coffee black" I ordered
"Nothing for me thanks" Sam said starring off to nothing
"Let me know if you change your mind" she said walking off
"I'm telling you, Sam, this job is small fry. We should be spending our time hunting down Bela" Dean said. I know this has happened before
"Hey!" Dean snapped his fingers in front of us
"You two with me?" Dean asked
"What?" I asked
"You two sure you feel okay?" Dean asked, Sam sighed
"You don't—you don't remember? Any of this?" Sam asked
"Remember what?" Dean asked
"This. Today. Like it's—like it's ... happened before?" I said
"You mean like déjà vu?" Dean asked
"No, I mean like, like it's really happened before" I said
"Yeah. Like déjà vu." Dean said
"No, forget about déjà vu. I'm asking you if it feels like, like we're living yesterday all over again" Sam asked
"Okay, how is that not dé—" Dean started
"Don't, don't say it! Just don't even..." Sam said frustrated
Doris walked over with a tray
"Coffee, black, and some hot sauce for the" The hot sauce fell, Sam caught it Doris gasped
"Thanks"she said
"Nice reflexes" Dean said
"That already happened" I said
We ate and left the diner walking back to the impala
"Guys, I'm sorry, but I don't know what the hell you're talking about" Dean said as me and Sam tried to explain this all happened before
"Okay, look. Yesterday was Tuesday, right? But today is Tuesday too" Sam said
"Yeah. No. Good. You're totally balanced" Dean remarked. Sam was right, the last thing from yesterday I remember was having the owner of the mystery spot point a gun at us
"So you don't believe us?!" I asked
Dean laughed and bumped into the same blonde girl
"Excuse me" She said
"Look, I'm just saying that it's crazy, you know, I mean, even for us crazy. Dingo ate my baby crazy. Hey, maybe it was another of your psychic premonitions and you bought Holly into it" Dean suggested
"No, no way, way too vivid. Okay, look, we were at the Mystery Spot, the owner had a gun and then —I can't remember" I said
"And then what?" Dean asked
"I don't know I woke up" Sam said, I can tell he's lying
We passed the same movers walking down the street trying to get the piano from in the door
"Wait a minute! The Mystery Spot. You think maybe it—" Sam started
"Maybe what?" Dean asked
"We gotta check that place out. Look, just – go with us on this, okay?" I said
"All right, all right, we'll go tonight, after closing, get ourselves a nice long look" Dean said
"Wait, what? No" Sam said suddenly
"Why not?" Dean asked
"Uhh – Let's just go now. Right now. Business hours, nice and crowded" Sam said
"My God, you're a freak" Dean laughed, I mouthed a what happened to Sam he just made the gun symbol and aimed at Dean and then me
Dean was a few feet ahead of us
He took a step into the street and a car sped out of no where and hit him, I was frozen in shock, I felt tears running down my cheeks
"Dean, no, no, no" Sam yelled running over
I snapped out of it and ran over as fast as I could, Sam sat there holding Dean
"Dean! No!" I cried, he had blood on his face and was barely moving
"Hey, Dean no" Sam said, Dean's eyes shut.
I started to feel a pain so bad I couldn't breathe
"Sam" I gasped trying to catch breathe.
"Holly!" He said, I felt blood run down my face
I woke up early to notice Dean stir awake as well, Sam's still asleep. What the hell happened! All I remember is walking down the street
The rest of the morning went exactly the same except me and Sam we're even more out if it.
"Hey. Tuesday. Pig in a poke" Dean said as we sat down at a booth, hearing that is almost as annoying as hearing Asia every morning
"Okay, would you listen to us,Dean? 'Cause we're kind of flipping out" Sam said
"Are you three ready?" Doris asked
"He'll take the special, side of bacon, coffee, black. She'll take a coffee black and Nothing for me, thanks" Sam ordered
"You got it." Doris said walking away
"Sammy, I get all tingly when you take control like that" Dean joked.
"Quit screwing around, Dean" Sam said
"Okay. Okay. I'm listening. So, so – you think that you two are in some kind of a what again?" Dean asked
"Time loop" I answered
"Like Groundhog Day" Dean said
"Yes, exactly. Like Groundhog Day" I said
"Uh-huh" Dean nodded
"So you don't believe us!" Sam asked
"Its just a little crazy, I mean even for us crazy, you know, like, uh—" Dean started
"Dingo ate my baby crazy?" I answered
"How'd you know I was going to say that?" Dean asked
"Because you said it before, Dean, that's the whole point" Sam said
"Coffee, black, and some hot sauce for the—whoops! Crap" Doris dropped it but Sam caught it and put it on the table without even looking
"Thanks" She said walking off
"Nice reflexes" Dean remarked
"No. I knew it was going to happen" Sam said
"Okay, look. I'm sure that there's some sort of an explanation—" Dean started
"You're just going to have to go with us on this, Dean, you just have to, you owe me that much!" Sam said
"Calm down–" Dean said
"Don't tell me to calm down! I can't calm down. I can't. Because—" Sam stopped himself
"Because what?" Dean asked
"Because you die, today, Dean. So does Holly" Sam said
"I'm not gonna die. Not today" Dean said
"Twice now I've watched you two die, and I can't— I won't do it again, okay? You're just going to have to believe me. Please" Sam pleaded
"All right. I still think you're nuts, but okay, whatever this is, we'll figure it out" Dean said
Sam nodded unhappily
We walked down the street the same dog barked the same girl bumped into Dean and the same movers were messing with a piano
"I don't get it if Holly dies how can she remember?" Dean asked
"I can only remember up until the point we die" I pointed out
"It's weird after you die, Holly develops your injuries" Sam said
"Still doesn't explain why you remember and I don't" Dean said
"I don't think i'm supposed to remember" I said
"And you think this cheesy-ass tourist trap has something to do with it?" Dean asked waving the flyer
"Maybe it's the real deal, you know? The, the magnetic fields bending spacetime or whatever" Sam said
"I don't know, it all seems a little too "X-Files" for me" Dean said
"Well, I don't know how else to explain it, Dean!" Sam said
"All right! All right. We'll go tonight after they close, get ourselves a nice long look" Dean said
"No no no no no, we can't" Sam said
"Why not?"Dean asked
"Because y–y–ou—" Sam started
"I what?" Dean asked
"We die there?"Dean asked
"Blown away, actually" Sam said
"Huh. Okay, let's go now" Dean said about to take a step into the street
Sam grabbed Dean and pulled him back just as the car zoomed by
"Stay out of the way!" The driver yelled
"Wait, did he –?" I asked
"Yesterday. Yeah" Sam said
"And?" Dean asked
"And what?" Sam said
"Did it look cool, like in the movies?" Dean asked
"You peed yourself" Sam said irritated
"Of course I peed myself. Man gets hit by a car, you think he has full control over his bladder? Come on!" Dean said
"Ew! Did I pee myself?" I asked
"No" Sam answered
"Ha" I laughed at Dean
We headed to the mystery spot
"I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. We could use all the good ink we can get" the owner said, its hard to believe this is the guy that killed me and dean
"How long have you owned the place, Mr. Carpiak?" Sam asked
"Well, my family's been guarding the secrets here since you don't want to know when" he said, I rolled my eyes
"So you'd know if anything strange happened" I said
"Strange? Strange happens here all the time. It's a Mystery Spot" he chuckled
"What exactly does that mean?" Sam asked
"Well, uh ... it's where the laws of physics have no meaning" He said
"Okay, like how?" Sam asked getting pissed
"Take the tour" the owner grinned
"The guy who went missing, Dexter Hasselback, he take the tour?" I asked
"Uh, uh, hold on a minute, what kind of article is this?" He asked
"Just answer the question" Sam said
"The police scoured every inch of this place. They couldn't find that man. I never seen him before. We're a family establishment—" he said
"Listen to me. There is something weird going on here. Now do you know anything about it or not?" Sam asked
"Okay. Look. Guys. Um. Give me a break. I bought the joint at a foreclosure auction last March, all right? Hell, I used to sell bail bonds" he admitted
"Okay, Kojak, let's get some air" Dean said dragging Sam out
"Well, I hate to say it, but that place is exactly what I thought - it's full of crap" Dean said
"Then what is it, Dean, what the hell is happening to us?" Sam asked
"I don't know. All right, let me just – So, every day I die then Holly dies" Dean said
"Yeah" Sam answered
"And that's when you two wake up again, right?" Dean asked
"Yeah" I answered
"So let's just make sure I don't die. If I make it to tomorrow, then maybe the loop stops and we can figure all this out" Dean said
"You think?" I asked
"Its worth a shot. I say we grab some takeout and head back to the motel, lay low until midnight" Dean suggested
"Okay" Sam nodded anxiously
"All right, good. Who wants Chinese?" Dean asked
We continued to walk down the street when a piano came falling down and crushed Dean. I looked up to see the two movers holing a broken rope
"Dean...Son of a bitch" I said
I woke up to heat of the moment along with Sam
"Rise and shine!" Dean yelled
"So what was it this time?" I asked
"A piano" Sam answered distraught
We went to the diner again, me and Sam both held despairing looks on our faces
"I still think you two are nuts, but ... whatever this is, we'll figure it out" Dean said
"Gee Thanks" I said
"So, uh ... If you two are stuck in "Groundhog Day", why? What's behind it?" Dean asked
"Well, first I thought it was the Mystery Spot. Now I'm not so sure" Sam said
"What do we do?" Dean asked
"Well, we keep you breathing. Try to make it to tomorrow. I mean, that's the only thing I can think of" I shrugged
"Shouldn't be too hard" Dean said
"Yeah, right. Dean, I've watched you die a few times now followed by Holly and I can't ever seem to stop it" Sam said
"Well, nothing's set in stone. You say I order the same thing every day, right?"Dean asked
"Yeah. Pig in a poke, side of bacon" I answered
"Excuse me, sweetheart?" Dean called to the waitress
"Can I get sausage instead of bacon?" Dean ordered
"Sure thing, hon" Doris said
"See? Different day already. You see, we decide that I am not gonna die – I'm not gonna die"Dean said trying to make us feel better. I can't even imagine what this is doing to Sam. At least I can't remember when Dean dies
"Thank you" Dean said as Doris bought over his food
He took a bite of his sausage and started to puke
"Dean. Dean?" Sam asked i started to choke
Closeup of SAM's closed eyes.
I woke up to heat of the moment with Sam again, I looked over to him
"Chocked on a sausage" Sam answered
Dean was in the shower
"When I get out we'll grab some breakfast" Dean yelled from the bathroom
"No!" I yelled
"We can't leave!" Sam called back
"You mean we can't even go out for breakfast?" Dean asked
"You'll thank us when it's Wednesday!" I said
"Whatever that means" Dean said
A few minutes passed before we heard a yelp and a thud. Me and Sam shared a knowing look
We woke up to heat of the moment again
We were eating tacos today
"Do these tacos taste funny to you?" Dean asked I sighed
Heat of the moment again woke us up, I looked to Sam
"Bad tacos" he answered
I saw Dean plugging in his razor in the bathroom
Heat of the moment played on the radio as I sat up and looked over to an exhausted Sam, he looked broken. I've lost count of how many Tuesdays have passed they all sort of blurred together
"I accidentally killed you with an axe" Sam said
My eyes widened "Sam!" I said he just shrugged
We carried on morning routine and sat at our booth in the diner
"Hey. Tuesday. Pig in a poke" Dean said
Sam set down the old mans keys
"What are those?" Dean asked
"The old man's. Trust me, you don't want him behind the wheel" I said
"You three ready?" Doris asked
"Uh, yes, we are. I'll have the special, side of bacon and a coffee" Dean ordered
"Nothing for me" I stated
"Hey, Doris? What I'd like is for you to log in some more hours at the archery range. You're a terrible shot" Sam said
"How'd you know that?" Doris asked
"Lucky guess" I shrugged
"Okay, so you think we're caught in some kind of what, again?"Dean asked
"Time loop" Sam answered
"Like Groundhog Day" Dean asked
"Doesn't matter. There's no way to stop it" Sam said, he sounded bad
"Jeez, aren't you grumpy" Dean remarked
"Yeah, I am. You wanna know why? Because this is the hundredth Tuesday in a row I've been through, and it never stops. Ever. So yeah, I'm a little grumpy. Hot sauce" Sam said
"What?" Dean asked
"Coffee, black, and some hot sauce for the—whoops! Crap!" Doris said dropping the sauce
Sam caught the hot sauce and passed it
"Thanks" Doris said
"Nice reflexes" Dean remarked
"I knew it was going to happen, Dean. I know everything that's gonna happen" Sam said
"You don't know everything" Dean stated
"Yeah. I do" Sam answered
"Yeah, right. Nice guess" Dean said
"It wasn't a guess" Sam said
"Right, you're a mind reader. Cut it out, Sam. Sam" the boys bickered in unison
They lean towards each other simultaneously.
"You think you're being funny but you're being really really childish! Sam Winchester wears makeup. Sam Winchester cries his way through sex. Sam Winchester keeps a ruler by the bed and every morning when he wakes up he—" they said in unison
"Okay, enough!" I yelled, they sat back in their seats
"That's not all. Randy the cashier? He's skimming from the register. Judge Myers? At night he puts on a furry bunny outfit" Sam said
Judge Myers overheard and knocked over his glass.
"Over there, that's Cal. He's gonna rob Tony the mechanic on the way home" Sam said
"What's your point?" Dean asked
"My point is I've lived through every possible Tuesday. I've watched you die every possible way followed by Holly. I have ripped apart the Mystery Spot, burnt it down, tried everything I know to save your life, and I can't. No matter what I do, you die. And then I wake up. And then it's Tuesday again" Sam said
"Dog" I said as we passed and it started to bark
"There's gotta be some way out of this" Dean said
"Where's my dang keys?" Sam said as we passed the old man
"Where's my dang keys?" The old man said searching his pockets
"Excuse me." I Said as the Blonde bumped into Dean
"Excuse me" She said
"She's kinda cute" Dean chuckled
"Hey. All the times we've walked down this street, I ever do this?" Dean asked
"Excuse me, miss!" Dean called after the girl
"A hundred Tuesdays and you never bothered to check what she was holding in her hands?" Dean asked holding up the missing flyer
"That's the guy who went missing?"
I said
"That's his daughter back there" Dean said, Sam grabbed the flyer and chased after her
The dog growled and barked at Dean, he leaned over to pet it
"Hey buddy! Somebody need a friend?"
Dean I don't think-" I started
"Good boy—aaah!" Dean yelled as the lease broke and the dog attacked him
Heat of the moment bought me out of my sleep again. I rolled my eyes and looked to Sam
"Dog attack" he answered
We're at the diner, Sam's on his laptop, Dean's eating
"So the police report says Dexter Hasselback is a professor, but that's not all he is" Sam read
"What is he?" Dean asked
"I talked to his daughter. Guy's quite the journalist. Columns in magazines, a blog" Sam said
"He writes about tourist attractions. Mystery spots, UFO crash sites—he gets his kicks debunking them. I mean, he's already put four of these places out of business. Here" Sam turned the laptop
"Dexter Hasselback, truth warrior? More like a pompous schmuck, you ask me" Dean said
"Yeah, tell me about it. I mean, I've read everything the guy's ever written, and he must have weighed a ton, he was so full of himself" I said
"When'd you two have time to do all this research?" Dean asked
"C'mon" Sam said packing up his laptop, Dean laughed
"What?"Sam asked
"I just, it's just funny, you know, I mean, this guy spends his whole life crapping on Mystery Spots and then he vanishes into one. It's kinda poetic, you know, just desserts" Dean chuckled
"Son of a bitch" I think I know exactly whats going on
"What?" Sam asked
"You're right, that is just desserts" I said, elbowing Sam and motioning to pink syrup
"What's wrong?" Dean asked
"Guy has maple syrup for the last hundred Tuesdays" Sam started
"all of a sudden he's having strawberry?" I concluded
"It's a free country. Man can't choose his own syrup, huh? What have we become?" Dean asked
"Not in this diner. Not today. Nothing in this place ever changes. Ever." Sam said
"It was the Heat of the moment!"
The radio played, I sat up
"Rise and shine!" Dean yelled
We headed to the diner again
"So you think you're caught in some kind of what, again?" Dean asked
"Eat your breakfast" I stated
The man got up and left me and Sam followed
"What's in the bag?" Dean asked putting money down and following us out
Sam grabbed the man and slammed him against the fence with a steak at his neck, I held mine up ready
"Hey!" The man yelled
"We know who you are. Or should I say, what" Sam said
"Oh my god, please don't kill me" The man pleaded
"Uh, Sam! Holly?!" Dean yelled
"It took me a hell of a long time but I got it" Sam said
"What?" The man said
"It's your MO that gave you away" I said
"Going after pompous jerks, giving them their just desserts—your kind loves that, don't they?" Sam said
"Yeah, sure, okay"
"Just put the stake down!" The man pleaded
"Sam, maybe you should—" Dean started
"No! There's only one creature powerful enough to do what you're doing. Making reality out of nothing, sticking people in time loops—in fact you'd pretty much have to be a god. You'd have to be a Trickster" Sam said
"Mister, my name is Ed Coleman, my wife's name is Amelia, I got two kids, for crying out loud I sell ad space—" the man cried
"Don't lie to us! We know what you are! We've killed one of your kind before!" I yelled
The man morphed into the same trickster from last time
"Actually, Sweetheart, you didn't" He laughed
"Why are you doing this?" Sam asked
"You're joking, right? You chuckleheads tried to kill me last time. Why wouldn't I do this?" He said
"And Hasselback, what about him?" Dean asked
"That putz? He said he didn't believe in wormholes, so I dropped him in one" he answered
"Then you three showed up. I made you the second you hit town" he laughed
"So this is fun for you? Killing me Dean over and over again?" I asked
"One, yes. It is fun. And two? This is so not about killing Dean. This joke is on you, Holly and Sam. Watching your brother die, every day? Forever? Now Holly you're a mystery. You're not supposed to die. Its like you made the trick better on your own" he laughed
"You son of a bitch" Sam said
"How long will it take you two to realize? You can't save your brother. No matter what" He said
"Oh yeah? We kill you, this all ends now" Sam said pressing the stake closer
"Oh-oh, hey, whoa! Okay. Look. I was just playing around. You can't take a joke, fine. You're out of it. Tomorrow, you'll wake up and it'll be Wednesday. I swear" he said
"You're lying" I said
"If I am, you know where to find me. Having pancakes at the diner" he said
"No just easier to kill you" I said
"Can't have that kiddo" He said snapping his fingers
"Gotta get back in time!" I heard the radio, it wasn't Asia! I sat up and noticed Sam had the same look on his face, I jumped up and hugged him
"What, you two gonna sleep all day?" Dean asked from the bathroom
"No asia?" Sam asked
"I know this station sucks" Dean said
I ran over and wrapped him in a tight hug
"What was that about?" Dean asked but Sam came over and did the same thing
"Okay am I missing something here?" Dean asked
"It's Wednesday!" I exclaimed
"Yeah, usually comes after Tuesday. Turn that thing off, will you?" Dean said
"What, are you kidding me? This isn't the most beautiful song you've ever heard?" Sam asked
"No. How many Tuesdays did you two have?" He asked amused
"don't know. I lost count. Hey, wait. What do you remember?" Sam asked
"I remember you were pretty whacked out of it yesterday and then I remember running into the Trickster. But no, that's about it"
"All right. Pack your stuff, let's get the hell out of town. Now" Sam said
"No breakfast?" Dean asked
"No breakfast" I replied
Dean took a duffle out to the car while me and Sammy finished packing up the room. Both our heads snapped up to the sound of a gunshot. My stomach dropped. I've never ran that fast in my life.
I saw Dean lying still on the ground while Cal went running
"Dean!" I screamed
"No!" Sam yelled
"This wasn't supposed to happen!" I cried
"Holly do you feel anything?" Sam asked
"No oh god Dean! No! Please" I cried holding him
Sam shut his eyes and opened them, nothing happened
"I'm supposed to wake up" Sam said
I can't believe it, Dean's dead and this is some kind of sick joke. Months passed. Sam dumped me at Bobby's without saying a word he's been trying to hunt down the trickster. He said he didn't need me in the way.
I know this isn't real because every call to Conor went unanswered and he hasn't been back. I know if he found out Dean died he would get here no matter what. Unless he's dead too. But I can't think like that, not now. It has to be a trick because thats the only thing keeping me together right now.
Sam hasn't answered any calls we've only been hearing about him from other hunters saying how he's been "terminator" lately. They said he's been showing no mercy like he's damn emotionless. That his hunting is so good it scares them. Thats not my Sam, I want to talk to him but he doesn't answer and he's been covering his tracks pretty good but not good enough.
I have a lead on Sam, I don't wanna tell Bobby I need to do this by myself. I need to talk to Sam by myself.
Last I heard is he's staying at a motel about a state over. I waited until Bobby went to bed and snuck out the kitchen door. I was debating hot-wiring one of Bobby's cars but he'd hear and probably shoot me with his shot gun thinking i'm an intruder. I ran for about a mile until I came upon a parked tahoe. I wrote a note saying where it would be.
I hot-wired it and drive off. It took me a few hours but I finally reached the motel. I felt tears well up in my eyes as I pulled in next to the impala. I found him
I walked to the front desk
"May I help you?" The guy asked
"Yeah i'm looking for a friend of mine, would've checking in a room not that long ago. Freakishly tall, shaggy hair?" I asked
"Uh-room 258" he said
"Thanks" I smiled walking out. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
"Put your gun away Sammy it's me" I said, he opened the door halfway
"Holland what the hell are you doing here?" He asked emotionlessly
"Oh I was just in the neighborhood" I replied sarcastically
"I told you to stay at Bobby's" he said
"And I told you to fuck off...now are you going to let me in?" I asked
He sighed opening the door
I walked in, the walls were covered in research and the bed barely slept in.
He was bleeding through his shirt
"Why are you here?" He asked again
"To make sure you're okay!" I stated
"I'm fine! I don't need you checking up on me" he said deadpan
"Sam you're bleeding" I pointed out
"It's nothing" he said
"Sam it's something...take of your shirt" I said, he sighed in defeat and sure enough there was a bullet wound in his side
"What the hell Sam! Thats not nothing! Wheres the first aid kit?" I sighed
"Holly I don't-" he started
"Don't you fucking dare try to fight me on his! Where is it?" I asked again
"In the bathroom" he said
I grabbed the things I needed from the kit and was looking around the motel room for some antiseptic, I found a bottle of whiskey
"Really Sam" I held the bottle up, he didn't say anything, I poured some on the stuff I was about to use and in his wound, he barely flinched. I handed the bottle to him to finish the last few sips. I dug out the bullet and stitched up the wound, he barely moved the whole time.
I finished putting on the bandage and moved my chair in front of him to talk
"Sammy this isn't you" I cried
"I don't meed a fucking intervention Holly!" He said standing up
"Sam! Don't you get it! This is all fake, the trickster is still screwing with us!" I said
"Yeah! And what if he's not?!" Sam yelled
"You can't think like that because thats exactly what he wants!" I cried
"Sammy look at what you've been doing, this isn't you!" I said, his phone started ringing and cut me off.
He answered it, it was Bobby
"Yes she's here" Sam said glancing over at me
"Where?" He asked
"I'll be there" Sam said hanging up
"You mean we'll be there?" I said
"Holly! I don't want you going" he stated
"Why because you can't do whatever you want! I'm going whether you like it or not" I stated with finality
Bobby said he had a lead on the trickster, we had to go back to the mystery spot. We made it there the next night, not a single word was said the entire drive.
We met Bobby inside, I walked over and hugged him.
He hugged Sam
"Its good to see ya again boy" Bobby said, Sam barely responded
"What are we doing here, Bobby?" Sam asked
"Well, it's the last place we're sure the Trickster worked his magic" Bobby said
"So?" Sam asked
"So you want this thing? I found a summoning ritual to bring the Trickster here" Bobby said
"What do we need?" I asked
"Blood" Bobby answered
"How much?" Sam asked
"Ritual says near a gallon. And it's gotta be fresh, too" Bobby said
"Meaning we have to bleed a person dry" I said in disbelief
"And it's gotta be tonight. Or not for another fifty years" Bobby said
"Then let's go get some" Sam said. No way
"No way in hell Sam!" I yelled
"You break my heart, kid" Bobby said
"What?" Sam asked
"I'm not gonna let you murder an innocent man" Bobby stated
"Then why'd you bring me here?" Sam asked
"Why? Because it was the only way! Holly wasn't coming back without you! And its the only way you'd see me! Because I'm trying to knock some sense into you! Because I thought you'd back down from killing a man!" Bobby said
"Well, you thought wrong. Leave the stuff, I'll do it myself" Sam said
"Wait Sam! You're not killing anyone!" I yelled
"It's none of your damn business what I do!" Sam yelled
"Yes it is because you're still my brother!" I yelled back
"You want your brother back so bad?" Bobby asked he took out a knife and handed it to Sam
"No Bobby!" I yelled
"Better me than a civilian" Bobby shrugged
"You're crazy, Bobby. I'm not killing you" Sam said
"Oh, now I'm the crazy one. Look, Sam, I'm old, I'm coming near the end of my trail. But you can keep fighting. Saving folk. But you need your brother. Let me get him back to you" Bobby said,
"No Bobby! Thats not true!" I said
"Bobby—" Sam started
"You Holly and Dean, you boys are the closest thing I have to family. I wanna do this" Bobby said
"No" I cried
"Okay" Sam said
"Sam!" I yelled Bobby kneeled with his back towards Sam
"Just make it quick" Bobby said
"No Sam! Sam please!" I tried to take the knife but he pushed me away and winked at me, then it hit me, Bobby wouldn't even have mentioned a ritual if he knew an innocent person had to die
"Okay, Because you're not Bobby" Sam said shoving a steak through his chest. He collasped, nothing happened
"Sam" I said
"Bobby? Bobby! Bobby!" Sam yelled
His corpse vanished
The trickster appeared
"You're right. I was just screwing with you. Pretty good, though, Sam. Smart. Let me tell you, whoever said Dean was the dysfunctional one has never seen either of you with a sharp object in your hands. Holy Full Metal Jacket" he laughed
"Bring him back" Sam stated
"Who, Dean? Didn't my girl send you flowers? Dean's dead. He ain't coming back. His soul's downstairs doing the hellfire rumba as we speak"he said.
"Just take us back to that Tuesday—er, Wednesday—when it all started. Please. We won't come after you, I swear" I pleaded
"You swear" he chuckled
"Yes" Sam answered
"I don't know. Even if I could—" he started
"You can" I said
"True. But that doesn't mean I should. Sam, there's a lesson here that I've been trying to drill into that freakish Cro-Magnon skull of yours, Holly's too" he said
"Lesson? What lesson?" Sam asked
"This obsession to save Dean that you two have. The way you three keep sacrificing yourselves for each other? Nothing good comes out of it. Just blood and pain. Dean's your weakness. And the bad guys know it, too. It's gonna be the death of both of you. Sometimes you just gotta let people go" he said
"He's our brother" I cried
"Yup. And like it or not, this is what life's gonna be like without him" he said
"Please. Just—please" Sam pleaded
"I swear, it's like talking to a brick wall. Okay, look. This all stopped being fun months ago. You're Travis Bickle in a skirt, pal. I'm over it" he said
"Meaning what?" I asked
"Meaning that's for me to know and you to find out" he said snapping his fingers
"Promise me I'll be back in time!" The sound woke me up, I saw Sam next to me
"What, you two gonna sleep all day?"
Dean asked
"I know, no Asia. This station sucks" Dean commented
"It's Wednesday" I smiled
"Yeah, usually comes after Tuesday. Turn that thing off" Dean said
Me and Sam ran over and wrapped Dean in a hug
"Dude, how many Tuesdays did you two have?" Dean chuckled
"Enough" I answered
"What, uh, what do you remember?" Sam asked
"I remember you were pretty whacked out of it yesterday. I remember getting up with the Trickster. That's about it" Dean said
"Let's go" I said
"No breakfast?" Dean asked
"No breakfast" I answered
"All right, I'll pack the car" Dean said
"Wait, you're not going anywhere alone" Sam said
"It's the parking lot, Sam" Dean chuckled
"Just—just trust me" Sam said
"Hey, you two don't look so good. Something else happen?" Dean asked
"just a really weird dream" Sam answered
"Clowns or midgets?"Dean asked
"We'll tell you about it later" Sam grinned
We packed up and drive as far as we could until Dean wanted to stop, we checked into a motel. I dropped my bags in the corner as we all get settled in
"Got a few quarters Dean?" I asked, he tossed them to me
"Get me a coke" Dean said. I walked out to the soda machine and got Dean's coke and my Dr. Pepper, I turned around to see Ruby
"What the hell do you want Ruby?" I asked bitchily
"Good to know your glad to see me" She remarked
"Just shut up and tell me what you want" I said, i'm too tired to deal with her shit right now, I crossed my arms over my chest
"I have a way to save your brother" she said
"How?" I asked skeptical
"It's a way to trade places with him, the crossroads demon will be there. Meet me at 128 Denmark St. In about two hours" She said starting to walk away
"Why did you come to me not Sam?" I asked
"Because I trust you to keep it a secret" She said
"I don't think I have to remind you but come alone" she added walking out of sight
I'm not stupid, I know nothing in this world comes for free. There's always a price to pay and i'm guessing to save one life you take another, that whole natural balance load of crap. I remember thinking I was going to die when I got stabbed last year, but it's different now. Now i'm not scared of dyeing if it means my brothers get to live. Now it's not like last time...now i'm ready, I saw what Sam just went through seeing Dean die every day and what he went through when he thought it was permanent.
Sam can't live without him, neither can I. But they can make it without me, it might take awhile but they can move on. I know they can.
I walked back into our room
"Where'd you go?" Sam asked
"Uh I was just grabbing a soda" I said holding up my can of dr. Pepper and tossing Dean his Coke
"Alright well, whats for dinner kiddo?" Dean asked
"Whatever you guys want" I shrugged
"You know pizza sounds good" Dean said
"Yeah" I agreed
We ate dinner and watched a movie.
Yes, I will miss my idiot brothers with everything but you know what they say "whats a family without sacrifice" Just in normal families the term sacrifice isn't so literal
"Guys I'm hittin the shower" I said
"Alright" Sam said. I walked over and wrapped him in a tight hug
"Love ya Sammy" I said trying my best not to cry
I walked over and hugged Dean, I took a step back
"Thanks De" I said
"For what?" He asked, I just smiled
"Holly whats this about?" Sam asked
"Nothing I just wanted to remind you two idiots that I love you" I said
"We love you too" Dean said
"I know" I said walking in the bathroom and closing the door behind me, I turned on the shower and started to cry. This is a lot harder then I thought.
"Dad, wherever you are I love you. If you know whats going on then you understand why. You know why i'm doing this. You taught me to be strong! To fight! But you never taught me how to deal with something like this and truth is dad, I can't deal...I know this may seem wrong to you, but i'm not sorry for what i'm about to do, I am strong...and I am ending this" I said wiping the tears from my eyes
I took off my anti possession bracelet and placed it on the counter along with my mom's ring and the silver knife Dean gave me. I tied up my hair and wrote a note on a piece of paper,
"128 Denmark St." By the time they figure out something is up and find the address I'll be gone, for good.
I put a bottle of holy water in my jacket pocket along with my old knife, and jumped out the window.
I came across the address, of course it was an alley how fitting. I walked towards Ruby, she was standing under a bright street light, the only light
"Wow I really didn't think you'd fall for it, but looks like Your more gullible then I thought " She smirked, oh son of a bitch! I should've known better
"But then again it's sort of touching, how far you'll go to save your brother" She said
"Fuck off" I said turning to leave
"Not so fast" She said
I was suddenly surrounded by demons, about eight
"Sorry sweetie can't let you go" She said
"You put on a good face Ruby you can play all nice demon but sooner or later Sam's gonna find out, at the end of the day... You're just a bitch, and he's gonna put you down like the demon you are" I said
One of the demons punched me in the face, it knocked me back. I threw a punch back but it was easily dodged and another one landed a punch to my stomach. I took out the holy water but one of them grabbed my wrist and twisted until I heard a snap
"Ah!" I yelled dropping the bottle. I was getting hit from all directions and everything punch or kick I threw was effortlessly dodged. I got knocked to the ground.
One hit after the other, I can hear my bones crack and feel the familiar warm red liquid running down my face
The streetlight started to dim and fade...everything went black.
Thanks for reading :)
