Chapter 11 Saying Good-Bye To A Hunter

Nothing else was said the entire way to the hospital. I didn't nag to drive, Sam didn't bitch about the music, and Dean just kept his mouth shut and that's a feat in itself. We pulled into the parking lot and Sam and Dean got out, but I couldn't move.

"Kira you comming?" Sam asked. Normally Dean would yell at me to get out of the car, but he just stared at the building. "Kira?"

"I'm comming don't worry." and I got out of the car and stood next to Sam who put his arm around me. "I really don't want to do this."

"Neither do we, but we have too." Sam said as we walked to the lobby. Dean hasn't said a word since we left Massouris'. I knew that is dad really was dead, he would take it the worst. "So where are we supposed to go?" Sam asked looking down at me.

"Morgue." I answered not looking up.

"Oh joy."

We got directions to the morgue and took the elevator to the bottom floor. We had to walk down a dank hallway and the fact that Dean still hasn't said anything was freaking me out. Sam was in front leaving me in the middle and Dean bringing up the rear. I stopped as Dean caught up to me. I looked up at him. "You ok?" He just nodded and kept walking. We came to an office and the women asked us who we were here to see.

"Kevin Thomas." Sam answered.

"You must be Kira." She said pointing at me.

"Uh yea so?"

"Follow me. You two have to wait here." the women said to my brothers.

"What? Why can't they come?" I asked. I knew that them having to stay back was not gonna sit to well with them.

"I'm comming. He's our father for christ sakes." Sam said.

"I'm sorry. As part of your fathers wishes he stated that he wanted Kira to identify the body."

"Body." I said and started crying again. "Dad's a body." Sam came up and held me as I cried.

"Please let us come too." Sam asked the lady. Dean was just sitting in one of the ugly green chairs, watching us.

"I'm sorry sir, but I can't allow that." She said as she motioned for me to follow her. "This way please." Sam let go and went to sit with Dean as I followed the woman.

"Why did I have to do this alone?" I said softly to myself.

"Escuse me?"

"I'm not even his real daughter. Why do I have to this and not one of them?" I said through my tears.

"Not his real daughter?"

"No. I'm adopted." I answered.

"It said that it was his wishes that you would be the one to do this if anything wa to happen. Adopted or not we have to follow his wishes. Here we are." We stopped in front of two big sliding doors. "Would you like me to come in with you?"

I shook my head no and asked her, "Is this Kevin guy in there?"

"Yes. He'll meet you inside. I'll buzz you in." She hit a little red button and the doors slid open. It took me a moment to walk through them. When I got inside I saw a man in his early 30s and I knew it was Kevin.

"Kevin Thomas?" I asked just to be sure. He nodded.

"Kira Winchester?" I nodded. "Follow me." I followd him down a long hallway, longer than the first.

"So why did I have to do this by myself?" I asked as we walked. "I mean why couldn't my brother's come too?"

"We have to abide by the deseased wishes. Here we are miss Winchester." I was looking at another set of large doors and was dreading this now more than ever. "You ready?" I nodded and we went in. There were about four tables in the room, but only two were occupied. 'Ha likes it's a bathroom or something.' I thought. "Over here." We went over to the table near the far left wall. I knew that was my dad under the sheet and I was having second thoughts about this. "You ready?" I swallowed hard and nodded. He pulled the sheet back and I came face to face with my father. I couldn't help but scream.

"What the hell! You said it was an accident!" I yelled at poor Kevin.

"It was." He looked scared of me. I couldn't blame him, I was pissed. I mean like Dean pissed.

"IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS MAULED BY A FUCKING BEAR! WHY THE HELL DID YOU SHOW ME THIS? YOU COULD OF WARNED ME OR SOMETHING YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

"Miss I'm sorry. You have to calm down. Please." Kevin said holding his hands up. I think he was afraid I was going to attack him. To tell you the truth I wanted to, but I held myself back.

"Calm down! Calm down! Did you see this." I ripped the sheet off the table. "That's what's left of my father! The man that saved me and took me in when he didn't have to, the man that loved me even though I wasn't his real child. Do not tell me to calm down after showing me something like this you piece of shit!" I screamed.

"Please calm down." he came up to me and place his hand on my shoulder. I had to admit he was a brave man, but that was still a big mistake.

"Get your hands off me. I want my brothers." I pushed him away as hard as I could and sank to the floor. I knew that the chances of Dean and Sam hearing my outburst was pretty good. God knows I think the whole hospital heard it. "Please I just want my brothers." I said crying on the floor. "Please get them." And Kevin left to get them, leaving me alone with my dead father.

Sam's POV

We sat in the chairs as the woman led Kira down the hall. Dean was so silent. I have never known him to be so quiet.

"Are you ok man?" I asked. He just nodded. "Please Dean you have to snap out of this. Say something please." Yes I was begging him to talk. I just wanted to make sure he was ok. "We don't even know if it's really him."

"It's him." Dean said finally looking up at me. "I can feel it Sam, it's definatletly dad."

"Well at least you said something. So how long do you think they'll be?"

"I don't know. Hopefully it won't take too long. I just wish we could of went to."

"I know, but they have to go by the wishes of the dead or whatever." I said as we waited. After that it was quiet. I didn't even feel like talking. It's been about 10 minutes and then we heard the screaming. Dean was on his feet in a split second, heading for the door.

"Where are you going?" I got up and followed him. 'Wow I didn't think he could move that fast!'

"Listen." And we listened and heard Kira going nuts yelling about how the doctor could show her that and not warn her. "I'm going wheather they like it or not." I nodded and followed him through the door. As we ran down the hall we ran into a man around 30 running in our direction.

"Are you Kira's brothers?" he asked. Dean and I nodded. "Follow me." We followed him down a long hall and into a room where we saw Kira sitting on the floor, crying.

"Kira!" Dean said as we walked to her. She looked up at us and she looked like she'd seen a ghost. The table she was sitting by was covered by a cloth so we couldn't see what was underneath. I stood behind Dean and just looked at the table. I knew Dean's instincts kicked in when he saw Kira. I knew that he would be there not just for her, but for me too. He had to be the strong one for us and I didn't think that was fair. And just like that he was back to careing, loving, chick flick hateing, big brother Dean.

"Kira are you ok?" He asked.

Kira's POV

"Kira are you ok?" I heard Dean ask. Hell I didn't even know how long him and Sam were there. I looked up at Dean and shook my head.

"It's him Dean. As much as I hoped it wouldn't be it is. He looks so bad Dean, so bad. The blood and almost nothing left of his..." I was mumbling. Dean helped me to my feet and handed me to Sam. Dean was about to pull off the sheet. "Dean you don't want to do that trust me." Dean pulled back the sheet and I buried my face in Sam's shirt as he squeezed me tighter and he looked away. I thought Dean might have been in shock untill I heard him yell at poor Kevin.

"You let her see this?" Dean yelled as he walk to Kevin. "How the hell could you let her see that? That's her father and look at him. What the hell is wrong with you, you son of a bitch." he had Kevin by his shirt, screaming in his face. Sam covered our dad back up and went to stop Dean from killing Kevin.

"Dean we should go." Sam said.

"No! Not untill this piece of shit tells me why he let Kira look at that!"

"Stop." I whispered at first.

"What kind of doctor are you to let her..."

"STOP IT!" I screamed. Everyone turned to look at me. "Just stop." Dean dropped Kevin and walked to me.

"Are you sure you ok Kira."

"I just want to leave. Can't we go now?" I asked. Dean nodded and we started to leave untill Kevin stopped us.

"What would you like us to do with the body?"

"I'll take care of it. Just get her to the car. I'll be out when I'm done." Thank god Sam offered to do that. I know I couldn't and if Dean had stayed he would have killed Kevin.

"Ok. We'll be outside."

Dean and I were outside for about a half hour when we saw Sam come out. I was sitting in the passenger seat with my feet hanging out the door. Dean was leaning aginst the back door next to me.

"Well?" Dean asked as soon as Sam was near us.

"They're going to transport the body to Lawerence for the burial. It said in his will that he didn't want a funeral so it'll be just us and Missouri. It should be there in two days."

"Ok. Let's go get some sleep." Dean said walking around the car to the drivers side. I moved my feet into the car and Sam got in the back. We checked into the closest motel and waited to bury our father. We all went to bed early, but I doubt any of us slept much. I know I didn't.

Two days later

Cemetary

It was us and Missouri saying good-bye to our father along with the priest from the local church. It was raining, but we didn't care. I was standing on the left of the grave with Sam, not letting go of his hand the whole time. Dean and Missouri were on the other side. Each of us had a handfull of dirt to throw on his casket. They lowered him into the ground and we threw the dirt on top along with four red roses. The priest left when he was finished and Missouri left soon after that. I knelt down next to the grave and cried. Dean moved over to stand by Sam and they watched me cry. We were there for about 2 hours and I didn't want to ever leave. Sam bend down next to me and whispered, "Kira we should go now." I nodded and stood up. Sam and I walked back to the car and waited for Dean. He said he wanted to say something to dad.

Dean's POV

I looked at his headstone and I knew he would be happy with it. I looked down at the fresh mound of dirt and I couldn't help but cry, knowing my father was 6 feet under that. I knew Sam and Kira were waiting so I made it quick.

"Dad. I never thought I would be saying good-bye this way and this soon. What happened? This was no car accident I know that, but I want to know the truth. I have a couple of idea's on what did this to you, but I'll look into them later. I'll look after Kira and Sammy don't worry. I'll make sure they're always safe and loved. I'm gonna miss you dad, but I'll see you again someday. For now be with mom and look out for all three of us ok." I touched his headstone one last time and turned to leave. I got back to the car and Kira said she was hungry, so we went to change and get something to eat. I guess tomorrow we'll have to get back to normal. I know that that'll take some time, but once we get back to hunting hopefully the healing will happen quick.
