Chapter 3
When Dean stepped outside, he was in front of a construction trailer (he had seen enough of them while he was with Lisa and Ben). Once the others had joined them Liz took them inside. The trailer was set up as a blood donor center. There were already coolers filled with different blood types from –A, B, AB, and O. Dean was amazed. He looked at Liz and Aaron for an explanation. Aaron finally said. "This is all Liz's doing and I have to agree with her reasoning, or she won't Marry me. They heard a grunt from Big John and when they looked at him there was a grin (if you could call it that) on his face. Liz continued. "All of this was donated by Hunters." She waited a moment in case there were questions. That is when Sam piped up. "Dean there are Hunters and Vamps out there working...Together to apparently make this place work."
Dean opened his mouth to say something, but the words would not come out.
"Dean, not all Monsters are evil. You and Benny showed me that." She was crying as Aaron wrapped her in his arms. When she composed herself, she looked up her eyes pleading with Dean.
When Dean spoke, all he could ask was "Why."
"Dean" She paused for only a moment "When he was here, when we were working together, I kept thinking I knew him from somewhere, but I couldn't figure out where from. It took me months to remember only because Hunters were coming right and left it was hard to keep up with them."
"Yea So?" Dean said (he might have let Hunters know what happened so they would Look after Lizabeth).
"Let me show you." she said, "We will need to take a drive." she finished.
They all piled into a truck (Big John in the truck bed) and the Impala. When they started driving following Aaron and Liz Dean turn to Sam and Cas "She is crazy, right? Her plan can never work out." He was looking for support, but they were silent. He shook his head looking back at the car in front of them.
As they turned on to the long dirt road Dean recognized the area. This was where he re-buried Benny's body. When Dean saw the windmill that marked the location of Benny's body, Dean swerved off the road and for the first time he did not care what the rough terrain was doing to the under carriage of Baby. He would check her out and fix her if she needed fixing. He threw Baby into park and threw the door open running to where there was just an empty hole in the ground.
"YOU DUG HIM UP." Dean was livid. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?"
Cas reached Dean first. Dean had gone to his knees. The others were on top of them when Cas held up his hand signaling them to come no closer. Cas let Dean kneel there with his hand on his shoulder giving what comfort he could. Cas never knew what happened between Dean and Benny, only that Dean had to send him back to Purgatory to rescue Sam. Afterwards Dean brought his body back here to his plantation to lay his body to rest. Castiel could not be jealous Benny was a good man and he protected Dean in Purgatory and that he would always be thankful for.
When Dean had calmed himself, Cas motioned for the others to come forward.
"Explain." was all Dean said.
Aaron started. "When Liz bought the Plantation and the property that went with it the first thing, she did was have Benny dug up and placed in the Lafitte Crypt."
Liz cut in "He deserved that much after saving my life and what he did for you."
Dean shook his head in understanding. It was then that Dean looked up noticing activity at the Plantation house. It looked like it had just come from the set of 'Gone with the Wind.'
"Beautiful" He whispered
They got back into their vehicles and drove the rest of the way to the manor. People were just finishing and cleaning away any debris and left-over building materials. The paint was fresh. A breeze could be felt as they climbed the steps to the veranda. As they entered the front doors others were putting the finishing touches inside. You could not tell the manor had been abandoned since just before Benny was turned.
Chandeliers hung; stair railings were polished original furnishings reupholstered. Even Dean saw all its beauty. But the question Dean still asked was "Why?"
Liz looked at Dean there were tears in her eyes as she said, "I wanted him to have his home." She let her tears fall "I want him home if he is still alive in Purgatory." and she continued "If he is dead at least he can rest here on his Family Home where it will be peaceful for him."
