Chapter 10- Love hurts
Valerie walked in to the kitchen the day after Valentines day. She dumped down on a chair at the kitchen table where Sam was already seated. "Whoa, somebody have a date last night?", He asked with an amused smile on his face.
"Yeah, a date with netflix, we had a great time", she replied sarcastically, Sam laughed. Suddenly, Dean came into the kitchen, looking very tired, and with a hickey on his neck
"Dude, you somehow look worse than me", Valerie said grinning at Dean
"Hey, can't help it if i'm a hopeless romantic", Dean said, Valerie and Sam looked at eachother and scoffed, Dean continued; "Just doing my civic duty, helping all the single ladies"
"Yeah, about that, can you do your civic duty a little quieter? 'cause your room is right next to mine and...", Dean just shrugged and sat down with his coffee. "So, take a look at this", Sam said trying to steer the conversation towards something a little more productive "Staci Altman, 19 year old babysitter from Hudson, Ohio was murdered last night"
"Well that blows", Dean said "but if her names not Amara, then hows that us?"
"Because, her heart was ripped out", Sam said
"Damn", Valerie muttered
"On Valentines day? Was it, like an ironic werewolf?", Dean said, Sam sighed and Valerie rolled her eyes at Dean, who said; Alright, Let's check it out. But first, I need bacon."
"Nope, first, you need a shower, cause I can smell you from over here", Valerie, who had gone to the fridge, said. Dean smelled himself, then got up and said: "Whoo! You're not wrong".
The three arrived in Hudson and went to talk to the babysitters employers, Dan and Melissa, to find out if they knew anything. After asking all the routine questions about who might wanna hurt Staci, did she have a boyfriend etc., the wife, Melissa, stated that the only thing missing from the house was the nanny-cam.
"So, we're not gonna talk about how weird the husband was acting?", Valerie said, "I mean i'm not being prejudiced or anything, but my money's on an affair between ol' hubby and the sitter", Dean chuckled at her bluntness, and Sam just looked at the two with his judgemental face.
They agreed that Sam and Valerie would go to the morgue, while Dean went to talk to Dan, the husband.
When Sam and Valerie got to the morgue, the coroner showed them how the killer thrust the heart out Staci's back, before pulling it back through Staci's chest "damn", Valerie muttered.
"You know, normally I would call this an animal attack, but there are no claw marks", the coroner said, seemingly at a complete loss as to what happened to Staci.
As they left the morgue and were headed to their motel room, Dean called
"Yeah, so the princess was right, the husband was sleeping with the sitter", Dean said
"Dude, what's with the princess?", Valerie asked, only slightly offended
"Well I figured it to be an appropriate term to describe you", Dean said, and Valerie could just hear the smirk in his voice
"Whatever", she said
"Guys, ahem", Sam said, "Okay, were headed back to the motel, to see if we can find out what the hell killed this girl".
"Alright, i'll go back and grill the husband", Dean said, then they hung up.
Back at the motel, Valerie and Sam were just lounging on the couch trying to find evidence of a werewolf, but so far they were coming up empty. Then, a video from Dean popped up on Sams computer screen, it was a video from the stolen nanny-cam. "So… you saw that flare in his eyes, right?", Valerie said after they had watched the video.
"Yup, I'm thinking shapeshifter, maybe?"
"Maybe"
"You know, maybe its the wife. Maybe she knew about the affair and wanted revenge?", Sam said
"Yeah, maybe".
Later, at Dan and Melissas house
"Okay, so it's not the wife", Sam said as they were walking out of Dan and Melissa's house. They had tried to test if Melissa was a shapeshifter by making her sign a card with a silver pen, and since she didn't have a reaction to the silver, she wasn't a shapeshifter.
Sam and Valerie were waiting for Dean to arrive with take-out.
After he had arrived, they barely got to sit down, before someone was banging loudly on the door. Dean went over and opened the door, revealing Melissa, who seemed completely out of it. "Dan, he just tried to kill me", Melissa said "I-I got this spell, from my hairdresser, Sonja, a "return to love spell", its sealed with a kiss", Sam pulled the spell up on his laptop "Yeah, it's not a spell, it's a curse", he said. Suddenly, they all heard a loud crash, and Dan comes barging through the patio doors, Dean tried shooting him with silver bullets, they didn't work, instead Valerie managed to slow him down by hitting him with a chair. Turning around, she saw Dean kissing Melissa, therefore transfering the spell to him 'I swear to god, Dean Winchester is THE dumbest man alive', Valerie thought to herself.
They all escaped to the car, and as they were driving away, Valerie saw that the thing changed its shape.
Dean pulled over to the side of the road, so they could regroup. "Dean, why do you always do this?!", Sam asked Dean, very upset. "I was trying to save Melissa, its kinda what we do, Sam", Dean said, trying to defend himself
"No, this is some weird sacrifice play, and you always do it!", Sam said
"Yo, princess, a little help?", Dean said to Valerie
"Sorry, Dean, I'm gonna have to side with Sam on this one. You do have a habit of putting yourself in danger", Valerie said carefully. Dean looked at her, and she looked back at him with an apologetic look on her face, then he scoffed and turned away.
At the salon
Melissa waited in the car, and Sam, Dean and Valerie went inside. Looking around, they went into the basement, Valerie saw a book on the table "yo", she said, holding up the book.
"So, according to this book, we're dealing with a Qareen, and its controlled by the spell. In order to kill it, we have to stab it in its heart, which, of course, is not inside its body", Valerie said, reading from the book.
"Awesome", Dean said, "so, who gets to go upstairs, and who gets to stay down here?"
"I will", Sam said, about to go upstairs, he was stopped by Dean, who gestured with his hands for a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors
"Dude", Sam said, not wanting to, but he gives in. Valerie rolled her eyes, and watched them play the game. Dean won, and clearly he was very happy, Sam just looked at Valerie and said; "Let's go", and the two went upstairs.
Upstairs, Valerie found the heart in a drawer, locked in a box, Sam tries to pick it, but before he can do so, the two were pinned to chairs by Sonja. Valerie closed her eyes, and did something she swore she would never do to the guys, she was gonna use her powers on Dean, and hopefully get him to come.
She closed her eyes and concentrated, when she opened her eyes, she was looking out through Deans 'this is so trippy', she thought. Dean didn't realise she was in there, and she was about to let him know, when she noticed the Qareen had taken the shape of Amara, The Darkness. The Darkness, or the Qareen, was going on about how Dean was in love with Amara, and Valerie was just looking out through Dean's eyes, trying to process. She returned to her body, just in time to see Sam shoot Sonja with witch killing bullets. "Val, you okay? What happened?", Sam asked her, she looked at him, still pretty affected by, both the use of her powers, and what she had heard. "Yeah, I just, I tried to use my powers, and it's been so long, and so, you know", she tried playing it off like she was just not used to her powers. Sam seemed to buy it, for now.
Back at the motel, Valerie was having a hard time keeping to herself what she had heard, when Dean admits that the Qareen came as Amara
"Are you surprised?", Sam said
"Aren't you?", Dean asked, clearly confused "I mean, I can't love The Darkness, I-"
"What? Does it make you Evil? Weak? No, you never had a choice in the matter, you were chosen, by Amara, you can't help it", Sam said, Valerie was feeling very uncomfortable, and the brothers seemed to have forgotten that she was even there.
"I just- I want to kill her, but for whatever reason, I can't, whenever, she's near me, I just- I can't"
"It's fine, because I can", Sam said.
