- Alex 3
New Orleans 2005.
New Orleans was a wonderful city to have a good time. Now hunting a witch in New Orleans so close to all hallows eve was not as easy as pie. Dean and Alexandra had been in New Orleans for nearly a week, John had been MIA for two and they were no closer to finding the witch than they had been two days ago.
"Do we really need to find this woman?" Alexandra asked over her burger, Dean raised an eyebrow at her.
"What? Eager to get back to that Hester dude? Seriously who names their kid Hester?" he said as he ate a fry, Alexandra rolled her eyes at him.
"He was horrible Dean, probably wont make it to my top ten" she said scrunching her nose, Dean flicked a fry at her.
"Shut your mouth, nobody wants to hear that" he said, she smirked at him.
"But you started it Dee" she said trying to look innocent; Dean sighed and flicked another fry at her.
"Excuse me Miss" said a guy approaching their table, he was well dressed and was probably no older than twenty five "Is this man treating you right?" he asked looking at Dean pointedly, Dean glared at him.
"This man is her older brother, asshole," said Dean standing menacingly, he was almost a head taller than the guy, Alexandra smiled at Dean's actions.
"Dee let him be, he's just a concerned citizen," she said cleaning her hands with a napkin, the guy looked scared of Dean.
"I meant no disrespect sir," the guy said to Dean, Alexandra had to stop herself from laughing; Dean raised an eyebrow.
"You need to learn to mind your own business kid," Dean said, the guy nodded and left quickly, as soon as he left Alexandra started laughing.
"Never change Dee," she said as Dean sat back again, he looked at her kind of amused.
"You are a weirdo magnet Lexy, really what the fuck?" he asked as he went back to his burger.
The siblings finished their dinner and went to take a stroll trying to see if they spotted their witch. They walked for what seemed hours until they found her in a small voodoo shop, she had put up a fight and Alexandra had walked out with a busted lip while Dean walked out frowning but unharmed.
"Any word from dad?" asked Alexandra, Dean checked his phone and shook his head.
"He's in Jericho right?" Dean asked; Alexandra nodded "Fancy a trip to Cali? Maybe we could pick up Sammy, work it like the old times"
"Mmm… I would like that, should I call him beforehand?"
"Nah, lets surprise him," said Dean with a grin as they walked to the impala, Alexandra smiled at him, they hadn't seen Sammy since 2003 even though Alexandra exchanged weekly messages with him.
They made it to Palo Alto just in time for Halloween, Alexandra had loved the get up and the party spirit around campus, it reminded her of her time at college. She could see Dean eyeing the college girls out of the corner of her eyes and smiled. Dean parked near Sam's apartment, Alexandra decided to ditch her jacket, she was wearing a black fitted t-shirt and a red flannel that someday had belonged to Dean, ripped skinny jeans and her boots, her dark hair was loose and wavy, it reached a little below her waist and was adorned by her red hairband.
She followed Dean until they found the building, Dean started fiddling with the window; she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Ever heard of doors Dee?" she asked, Dean stopped to look at her.
"Now where's the fun in that?" he asked with a smirk as he opened the window.
He allowed her to go in first and then climbed up, Alexandra looked around Sam's apartment; it was different since the last time that she had visited when Sam had first moved. Dean looked at her and smiled, she shrugged at him and moved to where she knew that the kitchen was leaving Dean in the living room. When she returned to the living room she was carrying a glass of water and Dean had Sam pinned to the floor.
"Easy there tiger" Dean said, Sam stared at his brother dumbfounded.
"Dean?" he asked, Dean laughed at him; Sam glared "You scared the hell out of me"
"That's cause you're out of practice," mocked Dean, Sam yanked Dean down and pressed his heel to Dean's back "or not" Dean said as Sam held him down.
"Are you two done behaving like children?" Alexandra asked, a smile on her face, Sam turned his head to look at her.
"Alex?" he asked, she grinned.
"Who where you expecting? Princess Leia in a bikini?" she asked, Sam laughed and stood, helping Dean up.
"What are you two doing here?" he asked as he went to hug her, he had grown more than the last time she had seen him, she barely reached his chest now.
"I was looking for a beer" offered Dean with a smile, Alexandra and Sam, who had yet to let go of her rolled their eyes at him.
"No seriously, I appreciate the visit but it surely doesn't mean anything good if you refused to use the front door like normal people" he said and Alexandra laughed.
"Since when have we been normal Sammy?" she asked looking up at him, at the same time a blonde girl dressed in shorts and a smurfs shirt entered the living room turning the lights on, she glanced at Alexandra who was still holding onto Sam.
"Sam?" the girl asked, Alexandra let go of Sam and smiled at the girl, then looked at Sam, a smirk on her face.
"Who's this lady Samuel?" she asked, Dean laughed behind her and Sam looked something between mortified and annoyed.
"Jess" he started "Hey, Alex and Dean, this is Jessica, my girlfriend"
"Your siblings?" she asked kind of surprised, Sam scratched the back of his neck and nodded, Dean took that moment to speak.
"Oh, I love the Smurfs, and let me tell you, you are way out of my brother's league" he said, Alexandra went and smacked the back of his head "Ow"
"Don't mind him, he was dropped several times as a kid" she said with a smile, Jessica looked confused.
"I should probably go put something on," she said looking at Dean
"Oh, no, no, no, I wouldn't even dream of it, seriously" Dean said raising his hands, Jessica looked at Alexandra who smiled.
"He's pretty well trained" Alexandra offered, still smiling.
"Anyway, we have to borrow your boyfriend here, family business" Dean said pulling Sam, Alexandra saw her younger brother's expression and looked at Jessica.
"Why don't we get to know each other you and I?" Alexandra asked walking to Jessica before Sam could say something, she grabbed Jessica's arm and pulled the girl to the kitchen "We have to bond, you're dating my little brother after all and us big siblings are such a jealous bunch and Sammy is practically our baby" Alexandra babbled as she placed the glass she had used on the sink, Jessica stared at the female Winchester.
"Sam talks a lot about you" was the first thing the blonde said, Alexandra grinned.
"Well I do hope he only talks about the good things," she said; Jessica smiled.
"All good" she confirmed; Alexandra nodded.
"Sooo… Jessie, can I call you Jessie?" the blonde nodded "Good, you have good intentions towards my Sammy right? Can't have you breaking the kid's heart" Jessie looked surprised at Alexandra's words.
"I… um, I really like him, he's really good and sweet, we've been dating for a while now, I think I might love him" Jessie said nervously, Alexandra laughed diffusing the tension.
"Calm down Jessie, I don't bite, unless you ask nicely" Alexandra wiggled her eyebrows and Jessie blushed, Alexandra laughed again "Just kidding, I don't actually swing that way, tried it back in Columbia, not really my thing, but anyways we're not talking about me, its about my giant baby brother, he's really sweet isn't he?" Jessie nodded confused about the female Winchester who was still smiling "Hurt him and they won't find the body" Alexandra said suddenly serious.
"I wouldn't, I swear" Jessie said not sure if the older girl was joking or not, Alexandra laughed again.
"Good, I have the feeling that we will be good friends and honestly its time to have another girl in the family, too much testosterone" Alexandra said and Jessie smiled at her.
"Must have been hard," she said, Alexandra nodded.
"You don't know half of it, Dean used to scare all possible boyfriends and Sammy used to glare at them even though he was shorter than them, extremely cute that Sammy, but annoying as hell" she said, Jessie giggled.
"Sam was short?" Jessie asked; Alexandra nodded.
"Really short until like sophomore year I think," she said; Jessie looked surprised.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" she asked; Alexandra looked at Jessie, her head tilted.
"Dad's hunting with a couple of friends, probably got lost in the woods and we're going to go find him" Alexandra explained, Jessie looked confused.
"Hunting?" she asked, Alexandra nodded.
"It's his hobby, but old age its catching up to him but you didn't heard that from me, anyways the thing is that Dean and I have him check in so we know he's fine and not hunting while drunk or some animal runs over him or something, and he hasn't called in like a few days" Alexandra explained, leaving the details out.
"So why come look for Sam?" Jessie asked, Alexandra sighed and crossed her arms.
"Sammy is the baby and probably the favorite kid out of the three of us, he's the one most likely to convince him to get back, trust me if our lives were a TV show we'd deserve an Emmy or something" she said, Jessie nodded at her.
"He has a really important interview on Monday" Jessie said, Alexandra raised her eyebrows "the Stanford interview"
"Oh" said Alexandra softly suddenly remembering Sam's last e-mail "Right, he wrote to me about that, looks like we'll have to be extra quick then"
"If you leave you won't make it in time" Jessie said, Alexandra smirked.
"I bet you ten bucks that he will be here before his interview" Alexandra said, Jessie smiled at her and nodded.
"Its on" she said.
She was about to say something when Sam and Dean walked in, Sam was carrying a bag with him, Jessie looked at him, and he looked apologetic.
"I'm sorry Jess" he said, she smiled at him.
"Don't worry, Alex told me your father needs you" she said pressing a kiss to Sam's cheek, Sam looked at Alexandra who was smiling innocently at him.
"Alex?" he asked, warning in his voice, Dean was looking at her too.
"I didn't do anything, now lets get going, I just made a bet with Jessie here and I won't be loosing to her" she said walking to Dean, she grabbed his arm and started dragging him out of the kitchen "Remember my words Jessie, don't do anything I wouldn't do" she said before heading out, Dean allowed himself to be dragged to the car in comfortable silence until Sam joined them several minutes later, she called shotgun so Sam had to sit in the back, Dean started driving immediately, heading towards Jericho.
"She loves you" Sam told her, Alexandra smiled at him "I don't know what you told her but she loves you"
"Well you know Sammy, the usual, small shovel talk, and New York" she said with a grin, Sam groaned as Dean laughed.
"You didn't Alex" he said mortified, she giggled.
"Oh but I did Samuel, she took it well, nice girl that Jessie" she said smiling.
"And what could you possibly tell her about New York Lexy?" asked Dean, Alexandra's smiled turned into a smirk as she looked at her older brother.
"Well I told her about my explorations" she said.
"Explorations?" asked Sam from the backseat.
"Yeah, how I kissed a girl and didn't really liked it" she said with a grin, Dean looked at her surprised.
"You did what?" he asked surprised, Alexandra rolled her eyes.
"Oh shut it, it was years ago and like I said, I didn't like it, besides I thought you guys liked seeing stuff like that, girls kissing girls" she said, Dean and Sam looked uncomfortable.
"Not if that girl is your sister," said Sam.
"Agreed" replied Dean, Alexandra shrugged.
Dean drove through the night making conversation with his siblings, Alexandra asked Sam several questions about college and in turn Sam asked Dean and Alexandra about their lives. In the morning Dean stopped at a Gas n Sip to refill the tank, Alexandra stepped out of the car to get something to eat and told Sam to move to the front seat. When she returned from the store she threw a package of granola bars and an orange juice at Sam and handed Dean a sandwich and a bag of chips.
"How are you paying for this?" Sam asked as he opened his granola, Dean and Alexandra shrugged "You and Dad still running the credit cards scams?"
"Hunting ain't exactly a pro ball career," said Dean, Sam looked at him.
"But not that much anymore" said Alexandra ignoring Dean and placing a hand on Sam's shoulder "I managed to save quite a bit when I lived in NY and I picked up a thing here and there" she said, a sly smile on her face, Sam frowned.
"Pickpocketing?" he asked, she nodded. "You're going to get in trouble one day" Sam admonished softly; she squeezed his shoulder.
"Nah, up to this point I'm a pro, like for real and I know where to and where not to" she assured him, Dean nodded.
"She's right, you should see her in action, no one notices they're usually too entranced by her" said Dean sounding proud; Alexandra laughed.
"Seriously, man, I swear, you have to update your cassette tape collection" said Sam a moment later as he went through Dean's cassette box. Dean side eyed him.
"Why?" asked Dean, Sam gave him a look.
"Well for one, they're cassette tapes and two" Sam said as he lifted several of the tapes "Black Sabbath? Motorhead? Metallica? It's the greatest hits of mullet rock."
"Awe come on Sammy, its not that bad" said Alex from the backseat, Sam rolled his eyes at her as Dean took one of the tapes from Sam's hand.
"Besides you know the house rules, Sammy," said Dean with a grin as he popped a tape in the player "Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole." Dean started the engine and Alexandra giggled.
"You know, Sammy is a chubby twelve-year-old." Sam said as the music began to play "It's Sam, okay?" Dean and Alexandra grinned at their younger sibling before Dean turned the volume up AC/DC's Back in Black blaring through the speakers
"Sorry, I can't hear you, the music's too loud," said Dean as he drove off, Alexandra laughing in the backseat.
They arrived to Centennial Higway, Jericho as the policemen where checking the bridge. Dean turned off the impala and started checking the glove box, Alexandra and Sam watched as he sorted through the fake badges.
"Let's go," he said, Alexandra grabbed his arm.
"I cannot go out there and pretend to be a Marshall" she told him; he looked at her confused.
"Why ever not?" he asked, she sighed.
"I'm wearing an AC/DC t-shirt and ripped jeans Dean, at most I would pass as a college girl," she said, Dean and Sam exchanged glances.
"Maybe you could pass as an ex-girlfriend?" suggested Sam, Alexandra rolled her eyes at him.
"Really? The kid was too young to score someone like me, besides I don't date minors Sammy" she said, a smile threatening to breakout on her face, Sam and Dean rolled their eyes at her, she suddenly opened her door "Watch and learn boys" she said as she walked out of the impala.
Sam and Dean watched as she approached the Marshalls, she ran a hand through her hair as she spoke to them, taking the hairband off and twirling it with her hands, the Sheriff looked flustered with her around, she pointed at the car and he nodded serious again, she smiled at him and again ran a hand through her hair, twisting one lock of her with her finger, she nodded again and the Sheriff was kind of gesticulating about the bridge, she frowned and nodded again, then she turned her gaze to the impala, Sam and Dean could see a smile on her face, the Sheriff handed her a slip of paper and she smiled again at him and waved goodbye before walking back to the impala, a slight swing to her hips that had Sam and Dean rolling their eyes at her.
"So what you've got?" said Dean as soon as she closed the door, he turned on the impala and began driving away.
"Well, about the case they don't really know anything, the boy Troy was your all American goody-two-shoes, had a girl, Amy, she's been putting missing posters in town, they think it's a kidnapping ring, but other than that no leads and obviously if they can be distracted this easily they're not doing a great job, men are disgusting ya' know?" she said.
"Hey" said Sam and Dean in unison and sounding offended; she smiled at them.
"Obviously not all men, and specially not my brothers, no sir" she said cheekily, Sam and Dean glared at her and she laughed.
After parking the impala the siblings began walking around to see if they could spot Amy or any other clue that could lead them to solving the case.
"I bet that's her" said Dean pointing at a girl.
"Yeah." Said Sam, the siblings decided to walk up to her
"You must be Amy." Said Dean with a smile, the girl nodded.
"Yeah."
"Yeah, Troy told us about you. We're his uncles. I'm Dean, this is Sammy and our friend Alex" Dean said, Alexandra and Sam smiled at her and waved, she looked confused.
"He never mentioned you to me." She said as she began walking away, the siblings were quick to follow her
"Well, that's Troy, I guess. We're not around much, we're up in Modesto." Said Dean as they caught up to her again.
"So, we're looking for him too, and we're kinda asking around, Dean here got engaged to Alex and we wanted to give him the news" said Sam, Amy looked between Dean and Alex who were doing their best not to glare at Sam. Before Amy could say anything another girl approached her
"Hey, are you okay?" asked the girl, Sam, Dean and Alex stared silently.
"Yeah." Amy said sounding tired, the siblings exchanged glances, Alexandra nodded at Sam.
"You mind if we ask you a couple questions?" he asked, Amy and the other girl looked at them.
"Why don't we have lunch," said Alexandra suddenly grabbing Dean's hand and trying to look sympathetic "On us" she said in a tone that left no other option.
Amy and the girl, who was named Rachel, nodded and they walked inside a nearby restaurant. They were led to a booth where they took their seats. They ordered and after the waitress left Alexandra looked at Amy.
"Can you tell us what happened?" she asked trying to keep her voice sweet.
"I was on the phone with Troy." Started Amy "He was driving home. He said he would call me right back, and...he never did."
"He didn't say anything strange, or out of the ordinary?" asked Sam, Amy shook her head.
"No. Nothing I can remember." She said fiddling with her necklace; Sam tilted his head.
"I like your necklace." He said, Amy held the pendant up, it was a pentagram in a circle, she smiled fondly at the pendant.
"Troy gave it to me. Mostly to scare my parents" she laughed "with all that devil stuff." Sam laughed a little and looked down, then up. Dean and Alexandra exchanged glances.
"Actually, it means just the opposite. A pentagram is protection against evil. Really powerful, I mean, if you believe in that kind of thing." He explained; Dean scoffed.
"Okay. Thank you, Unsolved Mysteries." He said; Alexandra slapped his arm.
"Don't be rude," she said, Dean rolled his eyes making the girls giggle.
"Here's the deal, ladies. The way Troy disappeared, something's not right. So if you've heard anything..." he said adjusting himself on his seat, the girls exchanged glances "What is it?"
"Well, it's just... I mean, with all these guys going missing, people talk." Said Rachel, the siblings exchanged glances
"What do they talk about?" they chorused, Amy and Rachel stared at them for a moment before answering.
"It's kind of this local legend. This one girl? She got murdered out on Centennial, like decades ago." Rachel started, Alexandra nodded at her encouragingly "Well, supposedly she's still out there. She hitchhikes, and whoever picks her up? Well, they disappear forever."
After that revelation the conversation moved to other things, Amy and Rachel asked Dean and Alexandra how they meet each other and how long they had been dating before the compromise, Alexandra and Dean answered as best as they could glaring at Sam from time to time, they excused themselves after paying the tab and decided to go to the library so they could search the web for information on the ghost.
In the library the found out that instead of a murder it had been a suicide, a woman named Constance Welch had killed herself after her children had drowned in the bathtub. Her husband was still alive. And from the picture Dean had noticed that she had jumped from the bridge in Centennial Highway. They decided to go check the bridge as it was night already, Alexandra tugged on her jacked as they walked along the bridge.
"So this is where Constance took the swan dive." Said Dean as he looked over the railing, Alexandra close behind him taking a look of her own.
"So you think Dad would have been here?" asked Sam, Alexandra turned to look at Sam.
"Could be, for all we know he could still be around or was killed by this thing" Said Alexandra as they continued walking.
"Okay, so now what?" asked Sam
"Now we keep digging until we find him. Might take a while." Said Dean as he kept looking around; Sam stopped walking.
"Dean, I told you, I've gotta get back by Monday" Sam said, Alexandra turned around as did Dean.
"We'll be there on time Sammy" she told him, then smiled "I'm not going to loose my bet to blondie".
"Thanks," Sam said with a smile, Dean scoffed.
"You're really serious about this, aren't you? You think you're just going to become some lawyer? Marry your girl?" he asked, disbelief in his voice.
"Maybe. Why not?" asked Sam, Alexandra looked at Dean pointedly but he ignored her.
"Does Jessica know the truth about you? I mean, does she know about the things you've done?" Dean asked, Sam stepped closer to him and Alexandra quickly went to stand in the middle.
"No, and she's not ever going to know." Sam said,
"Well, that's healthy. You can pretend all you want, Sammy. But sooner or later you're going to have to face up to who you really are."
"Dean stop this nonsense" said Alexandra warningly, Dean looked at her "Sammy can do whatever he wants, its his life Dee" she said softly, Dean looked at both of them and turned around and started walking towards the car, Alexandra looked at Sam.
"He's being prissy about this whole ting with dad, as soon as dad calls back he'll be fine again" she said, Sam gave her a tight smile "if not, I'll beat some sense into him" she said with a wink.
Sam and Alexandra continued walking several paces behind Dean. Dean stopped walking suddenly, causing Alexandra to crash into him, Sam steadied her and they stood next to him, the ghost Constance was standing on the edge of the bridge looking at them.
"Sam, Alex" said Dean raising his hand in front of Alex, probably an unconscious reaction, Constance kept staring at them until she stepped off the edge, the three Winchesters ran to the railing so they could look over.
"Where'd she go?" asked Dean, Alexandra and Sam exchanged glances.
"I don't know." Answered Alexandra at the same time that they heard a car's engine, the three of them turned to look, the Impala had its headlights on.
"What the" started saying Dean, before Sam cut him off.
"Who's driving your car?" he asked, Dean pulled the keys out of his pocket jingling them.
"That doesn't seem good" said Alexandra as the car jerked into motion heading for them "RUN!" she screamed pulling her brothers jackets
" Go! Go!" said Sam as they ran down the bridge, the car seemed to be accelerating; the Winchesters had no other choice than to dive over the railing. Alexandra and Dean falling straight into the river while Sam managed to hold on and get back up to the railing.
"Dean? Alex!" he asked voice desperate,
"What?" asked Dean clearly annoyed as he helped Alex out of the water, looking like drowned rats.
"Hey! Are you two all right?" Sam asked, Alexandra and Dean looked up at him.
"I'm super." Answered Dean, Alexandra rolled her eyes.
"Never better" she said, voice dripping with sarcasm, Sam laughed relieved and moved away from the edge. "Ugh this is disgusting" Alexandra complained batting away wet hair from her face, Dean looked at her.
"Are you telling me?" he asked, she shook her head, a smile on her face.
She and Dean managed to climb up using each other as support, when they made it up Sam was standing next to the Impala, Dean immediately started checking the car while Alexandra stood sullenly next to Sam, Dean finally shut the hood of the impala and leaned on it, Sam smiled.
"Your car all right?" asked Sam.
"Yeah, whatever she did to it, seems all right now. That Constance chick, what a BITCH!" Dean yelled to the nothingness of the night, Alexandra in her mood couldn't help but to giggle.
"Well, she doesn't want us digging around, that's for sure. So where's the job go from here, genius?" Sam asked sitting on the hood next to Dean, Alexandra stayed where she was and crossed her arms looking at Dean, the eldest Winchester threw his arms up in frustration and started flicking mud off his hands.
"Watch it Dean," said Alexandra taking a step back; Dean smirked at her.
"What? Is not like you could get dirtier," he said standing; Sam scrunched his nose.
"You two smell like a toilet." He said; Alexandra glared at him.
"Well Sasquatch is not like we dived into a crappy bridge, did we now?" she said snappily, Sam laughed and raised his hands in surrender "Let us find us a motel so I can take a shower" she said, then seemed to think "Or several" she went to open a door when Dean made a sound.
"We're not getting in my car like this" he said, Alexandra sighed annoyed.
"Then lets go for a walk Dean-o, I'm sure Sasquatch here can drive baby to a motel without banging her up" she said, arms crossed, Dean handed the keys to Sam.
They walked like for twenty minutes, Alexandra found herself shivering and the smell was getting worse by the minute, she could feel the mud caking on her face, Dean looked worse for fear. To the unsuspecting passerby they probably looked like hobos. When they reached the motel Alexandra refused to go up to the clerk all covered in mud and whatever else was in that water, so Dean had used his credit card and found out that John had rented a room. Sam went and picked up the lock of John's room, his room was in complete disarray and full of protective sigils and newspapers cut outs, it seemed that John hadn't been in the room for a few days at least, if the uneaten food was anything to go by.
"You guys mind if I stay in this room for the night?" asked Alexandra, Sam and Dean exchanged glances "I mean, you already rented out a room and I'd like not to share a bed with either of you tonight or take a couch" she said crossing her arms, Sam and Dean shrugged.
They left to their room after a while of checking John's notes, Alexandra took three showers before she could rid herself of the stench, then she walked around the room talking in her father's mess, she sighed before she started cleaning up the mess, John had no concept of being organized, it seemed. It took Alexandra like an hour but she managed to return the room to a decent look, taking off all the pictures and newspapers cuttings from the wall, John Winchester and computers just didn't mix. In between picking up her stuff she found something that she thought John would never leave behind, his journal.
She picked up her phone and called Dean immediately, he and Sam were back to her room in a heartbeat.
"You cleaned up the place," said a now clean Dean as he walked in, Alexandra rolled her eyes at him.
"You didn't really think that I was going to sleep comfortably in this place looking like a dump, or with all those pictures staring at me" she asked him; Dean shrugged as Sam looked over the Journal.
"Dad never leaves this thing behind" Said Sam as he went through the pages, he got to the last page where Dean's name was written along with some coordinates.
"He left in the middle of a hunt?" Alexandra said, disbelief in her voice.
"It seems so," said Dean leaning over Sam so he could also read the journal.
"You know what, fuck this, I'm going to sleep, tomorrow we can gank this Constance chick, Dad figured that she's a woman in white, Joseph Welch probably got grabby with another woman, she killed her children and herself in grief, lets think about her tomorrow" Alexandra said plopping herself down on the bed, Dean snorted as Sam stood from the chair that he was occupying.
"Sweet dreams Lexy," said Dean, a teasing tone in his voice, before closing the door.
Alexandra woke up next morning to Sam in her room rummaging through the pictures she had taken down the night before, she glared at her younger brother at the same time that Dean walked in with what she supposed were breakfast bags.
"Privacy anyone?" she asked sounding annoyed, Dean laughed.
"Someone didn't get her beauty sleep" he said sitting on the table fumbling with the bags "I got you chocolate chips pancakes" Dean said, Alexandra stood from her bed and went to sit next to Dean who placed a plastic container in front of her.
"Best big brother ever" she said as she took a bite and hummed appreciatively.
"I also got you something Sammy!" said Dean placing another container down, he then placed a coffee cup in front of Alex "That's hot chocolate by the way" he informed her.
"You're the best Dee!" she said before continuing eating, Sam looked at his siblings an amused expression on his face.
"So she's cranky until food is presented to her?" Sam asked taking his seat; Dean nodded.
"Anything with chocolate in the morning is a given, except for chocolate muffins, she hates those" he said, Sam nodded and dug into his food.
The siblings ate in relative silence; Alexandra excused herself to take a shower and then walked back into the room in a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt with a plaid shirt thrown over it.
"So Constance, how do we gank her?" asked Alexandra, Sam and Dean exchanged glances.
"I thought about talking to her husband, ask where she was buried" said Sam, Alexandra nodded at him.
"Take the car then, Dean and I will stay and pack all this stuff, the last thing we need is someone accusing us of being Satanists or something" she said, Dean handed Sam the keys without much protest under Alexandra's glare, Sam left quickly and she and Dean started packing things in an empty duffel the found.
"I don't get it" said Dean after a while, Alexandra looked at him.
"What?" she asked.
"Dad, why he'd leave like this without telling us, there's something wrong here" he said and Alexandra had to agree with him, something didn't feel right.
"Do you think he found it?" she asked softly, Dean looked at her confused.
"It?" he asked.
"The thing that killed mom, I mean that's his life ambition, to kill that thing and looking around this room, it's a very dangerous it" she said, Dean seemed pensive.
"But why leave?" asked Dean, Alexandra shrugged.
"I don't really know, I just" and she stopped talking suddenly, something in the back of her head, a thought that she couldn't quite grasp "Sammy" she said under her breath.
"Sammy? What's with Sammy?" asked Dean suddenly alert.
"Well the thing that killed mom, it was in Sammy's nursery right? I don't really remember much from that night, just bits and pieces, but it was the nursery, maybe the thing is after Sammy too and Dad is trying to lead it away" she said and Dean paled.
"Do you think Sammy would have been safer at Stanford?" Dean asked suddenly.
"I don't know, I mean he's here with you and me right, he's as safe as can be and if dad is chasing that thing the thing is far away from here, so no, I don't think he would have been safe at Stanford, he's better with us here where we can protect him" she said, Dean nodded not completely sure.
They kept sorting through John's things in silence until Dean's phone rang, it was Sam telling them that Constance had been buried at her old house, Alexandra checked her watch, it was early in the afternoon. Sam returned to the motel room and they packed their bags and checked out Alexandra catching a group of policemen in the distance, they were probably going into the motel, she shrugged, they were not her problem. Dean drove them to the old house but the bones could be anywhere in the back yard.
"Do you think there could be another way to bring her in?" she asked, Sam and Dean looked at her smiling.
"That's it, we have to take her home" said Sam, Alexandra looked at him confused "In the call, it says that she can never go home, maybe if we force her to come" he started saying, Alexandra frowned.
"Well any of you want to be bait? Cause I don't really have the necessary parts to fit our current criteria" she said; Sam and Dean laughed.
"I'll go," said Sam, Alexandra and Dean took their rock salt pistols from the impala.
"Then we'll wait here, go bring our ghost lady home Sammy" said Dean, Alexandra punched his arm before Sam left in the car.
Like ten minutes later Sam crashed the impala into the house, Alexandra and Dean running into the wreckage shooting the ghost that was manhandling Sam. When Constance disappeared Dean and Alexandra rushed to Sam.
"Sam! Sam! You okay?" asked Dean, Alexandra close behind him.
"I think..." said Sam.
"Can you move?" asked Alexandra, Sam nodded.
"Yeah. Help me?" he said, Dean moved to lean through the window to help Sam, Alexandra turned around to guard their backs, se saw Constance looking at a photograph, Alexandra raised her gun slowly trying not to get the Ghost's attention.
"There you go" Said Dean to Sam behind her, they closed the car door and turned around.
Alexandra looked at them and then at the ghost, Constance looked up glaring at them, Alexandra kept her gun trained on Constance daring her to do something. The lights started to flicker and Alexandra smiled, as Constance looked worried.
"Come on ghost babies" muttered Alexandra under her breath as water began to pour down the staircase, Constance went over to look, and at the top were a boy and girl.
"You've come home to us, Mommy." They chorused as Constance looked, suddenly appearing behind her and embracing her, a scream tore from the Ghost's throats until she and her kids melted into a puddle, Alexandra let out a breath she was holding and put her gun down.
"So this is where she drowned her kids," said Dean, Alexandra and Sam nodded.
"That's why she could never go home. She was too scared to face them" said Sam, Alexandra smiled at him.
"Just as you said before, nice work, Sammy." She said patting his arm, Sam laughed.
"Yeah, I wish I could say the same for you two psychos, what were you thinking shooting Casper in the face?"
"Hey. Saved your ass bitch" Dean said, Sam laughed again.
"Jerk"
Dean leaned over to look at the impala while Alexandra looked at Sam's injuries.
"Good news is that you wont need stitches" she said, Sam smiled at her.
"Thanks, and the bad news?" he asked, she pointed at Dean.
"If you screwed up my car, I'll kill you," Dean said turning to look at Sam, the three siblings laughed despite the moment.
"Here princess, let me help you," said Alexandra grabbing Dean's gun and putting it away on the trunk, she turned to her brothers "Are we ready to get the hell out of this place?"
"Sure, hop in" said Dean, she smiled.
'I'll take the backseat, I could do with a nap, wake me up when we reach Stanford" she said getting into the car, a pillow in her hand, probably stolen from the motel.
Dean and Sam got in and they drove into the night.
