Savethemadscientist: (taken again) yep it was good that they were able to find her. (Aftermath) I couldn't see them not accepting her family considering that Clary is their soulmate.
NicoleR85: thanks!
MaidensTouchOfMadness: thank you. More cute moments to come.
A couple of days later…
Dean sat on the bed, legs outstretched, arm around a slumbering Clary. The TV was playing an old western with the volume down low as to not disturb the ginger. But Dean wasn't really watching it, he was playing more attention to his soulmate. She'd been mostly sleeping these past few days to allow her body to heal from the torture that had been inflicted on her by Kate and Jack.
Sam sat in a chair close to the bed, laptop balanced on his legs. Despite the fact that they were reluctant to leave their soulmate, they still had a job to do. "Anything?" Dean asked.
"There's a man in Colorado, local man named Daniel Elkins, was found mauled in his home", Sam explained.
"Elkins?" Dean repeated "I know that name".
"Doesn't ring a bell", Sam said.
"Elkins...Elkins...Elkins", Dean muttered under his breath, brow furrowed as he tried to think of where he knew name from.
"Sounds like the police don't know what to think", Sam remarked, scanning the webpage "At first they said it was some sort of bear attack and now, they've found some signs of robbery" he looked up at his brother "could be our kind of gig".
"Maybe", Dean agreed "hey, pass me dad's journal". Sam held it out to him and Dean took it, taking care not to jostle Clary. He flicked through the pages until he came across what he was looking for. "Check it out", he said, showing Sam the page
D Elkins 970-555-0158
"You think it's the same Elkins?" Sam asked.
"It's a Colorado area code", Dean pointed out "so yeah, it's a high possibility".
"You think we should tell…" Sam nodded to their soulmate.
"Yes", Dean said and proceeded to gently shake the ginger awake "Clary…Clary", he softly called.
"5 more minutes", Clary sleepily mumbled snuggling into his side more. Sam shook his head, highly amused as was Dean.
"Sweetheart, you need to wake up. We caught a case", the older Winchester said quietly. That made Clary stir.
"What's the case?" she asked looking blearily up at him.
"Some guy in Colorado was mauled in his home", Dean replied.
"And I'm guessing you want me to stay here while you two check it out", Clary stated sitting up, shifting away from Dean.
"We don't want you to get hurt again", Sam told her.
"I know. Still sucks though", Clary admitted.
"I doubt we'll be gone long", Dean said "few days tops".
"He's right, we'll be back before you know it", Sam assured her with a smile "and we'll call/text/email so often you'll get sick of it".
"Impossible", Clary said "I'd never get sick of it". She held out her hand to Sam who took it. Clary tugged him toward the bed and he sat down. "Promise me you'll be careful", the ginger said "both of you".
"We will", Sam promised.
"Yeah, absolutely", Dean vowed.
Several days passed since the Winchesters had left on their case and they still hadn't come back. Though Clary was ok with it as the brothers had explained in their many messages that they'd been reunited with their dad and were going on cases with him.
Then suddenly while she was making a cup of tea for herself, Clary felt her soul mark burn with a white hot pain as if someone had stuck a burning poker onto it. The mug slid from her hand, crashing onto the floor, the ginger following suit as she screamed in agony.
"Clary!" Jocelyn cried rushing into the room "sweetie, what happened!"
"My mark!" Clary exclaimed, tears running down her face "it kills!"
"What's going on? I heard screams", Luke said coming in.
"It's her soul mark. Its really hurting her", Jocelyn said.
"Well, we gotta get her off the floor", Luke said and gingerly picked her up "I'm really sorry kiddo", he said when she whimpered, hating the fact the moving her was causing her even more pain but like he said, she couldn't stay on the floor.
"I'll call Magnus, see if he can lessen the pain", Jocelyn said rushing out of the door. Luke carried Clary to the sofa and laid her down on it.
"They must be seriously injured. Never hurt this bad last time", Clary sobbed into the cushion.
"They?" Luke asked, confused.
"I have two soulmates", the ginger confessed.
"What?" the werewolf questioned, even more confused "that's…"
"Impossible, I know and yet it happened", Clary cut in "Sam and Dean", she added with a mumble, her eyes starting to close.
"Sam and Dean Winchester", Luke repeated. Honestly, he should've seen it coming. Not the two soulmates thing but the fact that the brothers were her soulmates. They certainly cared for his step-daughter that was for sure. And they were certainly willing to do anything for Clary, even go as far as working with his werewolves to rescue her when she was taken. Despite them being hunters. You'd think that would go against everything they stood for but not Sam and Dean. They were definitely the perfect soulmates for his little girl.
"Yeah, them", Clary confirmed before she passed out.
"Right, I called Magnus and…" Jocelyn trailed off when she saw Clary unconscious on the sofa.
"She's just passed out", Luke told her.
"I don't like seeing her like this but I suppose its better than her screaming in pain", Jocelyn said stroking her daughter's hair. Luke opened his mouth to agree when a portal appeared a foot away and Magnus stepped out.
"I came as soon as I could", the Warlock said "I see she's resting now".
"More like passed out", Luke corrected "and she said something before that happened".
"What?" Jocelyn asked.
"Clary admitted that she's got two soulmates", Luke replied.
Looks of surprise appeared on Jocelyn's face. "That's impossible", the ginger haired woman stated.
"Incredibly rare, yes. Impossible, no", Magnus corrected.
"What causes someone to have two soulmates?" Luke questioned.
"I'm afraid to say that I'm still trying to figure that out", Magnus confessed "without much luck. But back to the matter at hand". He went over to his goddaughter/niece and checked her soul mark. The skin around it was angry red and it was really hot to the touch. "Her mates must be very seriously hurt", he commented. His eyes became yellow and cat like as he started to chant a healing spell. After a while, he stopped. "This'll help for the moment but we need to get her to her soulmates", the Warlock stated "Do we know where they are now?"
"I'm afraid not", Jocelyn replied, regretfully.
"What about using Clary's connection to the Winchesters to track them?" Luke suggested.
"That could work", Magnus agreed. He turned back to the ginger and held out his hand over her soul mark. He chanted a second spell over it. The Warlock looked up at Luke and Jocelyn "I know where they are. Sioux Falls General Hospital", he said.
