Chapter 3: Meetings
Sam and Dean entered the hospital and walked up to the desk. "Hi, we're looking for Evangeline. She came in here about an hour ago because of a train crash."
The nurse smiled, "I'm sorry she checked out awhile ago."
"What?"
"She was checked out awhile ago sir."
"By who?"
"Who's asking?" The nurse smiled at Dean batting her eyelashes.
Sam looked over at Dean then back at her, "We're her cousins. Cousins, yeah."
"Uh ok, um… Ah here we go, Joe and Nicole Briggs. Her uncle and aunt, oh, are they your parents?"
"Uh, no," Sam said, "We're from her mom's side."
The nurse nodded and smiled. "Ok, um, I know there's a Briggs farm just a couple miles up."
"Thanks."
They headed out of the hospital and back into the Impala.
When I woke up the first thing I saw was a kid with juice stains covering his mouth on top of me. He smiled at me with his two front teeth missing. I hate kids; they're sticky, stinky, and stupid. The three S's, and for some reason are attracted to me. I found out it was because kids see angels and I guess they think I'm an angel or something. I just don't like them.
"Uh, hi?" I said
"Hi!" he shrieked
He was then lifted off of me and I saw a woman with short red hair pulled back in two ponytails. She had a sweet face on when she looked at me.
"Sorry, I'm your Aunt Veronica," she said sweetly
"Hi, I'm Evangeline," I said slowly
She laughed, "Yes I know. Oh and that's Destiny."
The little boy with blonde hair giggled and picked his nose. I grimaced and looked back over at the woman, my aunt, and smiled. She smiled back and turned around to pick up a baby. She turned happily and played with the baby's hand.
"And this is your little cousin Darcy," she said
The little baby girl reached out with her little hands, that were covered in spittle, to me. Aunt Veronica laughed.
"She likes you! Do you wanna hold her?"
I motioned toward my broken arm. She covered her mouth with her vacant hand. "Oh I'm so sorry dear, I forgot."
"That's okay, really," I said
"Alright, your Uncle Bob will be in here soon."
I noticed she had a hint of a New York accent but it was covered up with a country one. I slightly shook my head and turned towards the door when I heard it open. In walked a man with a dirty shirt, jeans, which also had holes in them, and a cap. I saw a tuft of blonde hair underneath. He looked at Aunt Veronica.
"You ready?" he asked in a gruff voice
"Hold on, meet Evangeline. Evangeline this is your Uncle Bob."
I waved but he only grunted back. I raised an eyebrow and stepped out of the bed. My legs weren't hurt just my arm and I felt a patch over me left eyebrow. Veronica motioned me to follow her and I obeyed. I then stepped into the back of the old truck with Destiny sitting beside me. He sat there staring at me with a goofy smile on his face.
"What?" I asked irritably
He pulled out of his pocket a half eaten chocolate bar and offered it to me. I smiled weakly and shook my head. He, still smiling, bit into it and started poking me. I looked down at the little boy with a horrified expression.
"Please stop."
He this time shook his head and offered me the candy again never missing a poke. I guessed he wouldn't stop till I take a bite. I reached down and took it. I broke off and piece and placed it in my mouth reluctantly. He smiled and took the candy bar, quitting the poking.
"This kid is demented," I muttered to myself
"No, Destiny!" he yelled defensively
"Whatever little person thing."
We arrived at this farm house. Oh God a farm, I've been in cities all my life! I saw an ugly hound dog run up to the car and bark wildly. I jumped back a little but then the dog climbed on top of the truck and started licking me all over my face.
"Lucille, get down!" I heard Bob yell
"Yes, Lucille, please get down," I said and she jumped back to the ground
I groaned started to wipe at my face with my uninjured arm. Victoria came around the truck and pulled Destiny out.
"Are you okay honey? Did that bad dog hurt you?" she asked Destiny
Destiny! Destiny wasn't the one who got slobbered on by this big, ugly, fat, evil animal! She should be worried about me! Now look, he's crying and nodding his head yes. The dog didn't even touch him!
"I'm okay!" I yelled throwing my good arm up and jumping off the truck
"Good," said Bob spitting in the grass
"Ugh!" I ran to the stables and shut the door behind me
God, it smelled in here but at least it was quiet. I turned to find a horse staring at me and for the second time in like ten minutes I jumped back in fright. The horse snorted at me and looked away. I walked cautiously around him.
"Where the hell is my cell phone?" I asked myself as I searched through one pocket then the other, "Crap, I must've dropped it in the crash."
I sighed and opened the stable door. As I walked out I felt the winter chill nip at my nose. It was so cold outside and my coat wasn't helping much. I pulled my coat farther over my cast. The ground was glazed and the grass was dewy. I sighed again; leave it to the boonies to be freezing cold in February. It's just not natural or is it just me? I shook my head and headed towards the little house.
"Hello? Aunt Veronica?" I asked as I opened the door
"In here sweetie," I heard her say from around the corner
"Where?" I asked
"In the washroom, I'm doing some laundry."
I walked to where the voice was coming from. Veronica was washing clothes in a big sink. A sink! I stared, my mouth wide open like I was being possessed. Se turned to look at me and laughed.
"What? Never done laundry before?"
"Where is the washer and the dryer!" I asked waving towards the walls and such.
"We don't have them. We do the old way," she said and went back to her work. She then added, "Oh, Eva dear, can you get the milk?"
I sighed but nodded, "Where is the fridge?"
Veronica laughed, "The milk isn't in the fridge; it's out side dear."
"Well, that's new," I muttered and walked out of the room and back to where I had entered
I opened the door and looked out. "Where is it?"
"In the ice box around the corner of the house."
I walked out of the house closing it behind me and walked to where it should be. Thankfully it was there, I opened the lid and reached in. I pulled out a pail of milk. It was damn heavy!
"Oh!" I exclaimed as my arm went all the way down.
I lifted it back up and trudged back to the house. Somewhere along the way I slipped on the black ice and fell causing all the milk to splatter over me and the ground. I screamed as I fell to the floor with a thump. When I opened my eyes there were two men hovering over me. I wiped at my eyes to clear away the sticky milk.
"Uh, hi," the one with shaggy hair said.
I groaned and closed me eyes again covering my face with my hands.
