Okay Ghostwriter, you talked me into it...here's chapter 4 and not the ending. It's going to be a few more. Thanks for the reviews, I like that someone likes it ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural.
A/N: Okay, I was just going to make this 4 chapters but I decided that I would just keep going with Julia and the Boys. I love the interaction between Dean and Jerry. Let me know what you think!
Julia kept yawning in the backseat while she gave Dean directions. She didn't even have to have her eyes open to tell him where to go; at least that's what Dean noticed as he followed her directions to the letter. They were officially in small town suburbia with houses closer to each other versus the farm houses that made up the majority of the town.
"At the end of the court there's a two story blue house with white shutters and a white porch. You can't miss it. Just pull up into the drive way," Julia mumbled as she tucked her arms closer to her body under Sam's coat that he gave to her after Dean roughly covered up her shoulder which was bleeding the worse. Dean spotted the house right away, the only blue house on the court. He pulled the Impala into the driveway right next to a minivan. He looked at the minivan and then back to Julia.
"Is this your folk's house?" He asked looking through the rear view mirror. Julia nodded as she started to get out of the car. Dean and Sam watched her get out before they spoke to each other.
"Do you think we can trust her?" Sam asked as Julia went and leaned on the front of the car. Dean pulled out his cell phone and looked at the time. It was a little past midnight.
"The closest motel is just right up the street but Julia exactly isn't in the best shape. I really don't think she was in the whole thing. She definitely had a lot of rage behind her the basement," Dean stated as he leaned forward and looked at the house, "At least let's get her inside and if things get weird we can bail." Sam nodded and both of the brothers got out of the Impala to join Julia.
"So they trust me," Julia cracked a smile as the boys joined her. "Don't step on my dog; you don't want to know what he'll do to you."
"What?" Sam asked as Dean just laughed. Both of the boys helped Julia walk up the porch steps to the house.
"Damn, I don't have my keys," Julia stated. Sam went to pick the lock but Julia shook her head. She walked to the first window and opened it a crack. Dean leaned to see what she was doing. He saw a dog instantly at the window. A huge Great Dane was at the window. Dean saw Julia say something through the window before she rejoined the boys.
"What did you say?" Dean asked. Julia steadied herself with the open door.
"I told them to go and get mom and dad," Julia paused, "this is going to cause a scene just to let you know." Sam cocked his head and tried not to laugh.
"Have you seen yourself in a mirror yet Julia? I'd hope it cause a scene," Sam smirked. Julia playfully punched him in the shoulder. A light went on in the house. Julia sighed as the door began to open.
"Julia, you lost your keys again? Oh goodness, Julia!" Stated an older version of Julia but with lighter hair than her daughter who rapidly left the room. A man in a robe entered the scene quickly and had a shot gun with him.
"Did you two do this?" the man stated gruffly. Dean and Sam took a step back. Sam saw the gun and looked to his older brother for an explanation.
"Dad! Jesus, go put the gun away. Pull it out if you see Helen," Julia said as she started to walk into the house. "They saved my life so introduce yourself." Julia's father softened up immediately.
"Jerry," he stated holding out his right hand to shake with Dean and Sam. The boys introduced themselves as they walked into the house. They trailed behind Jerry so they could talk.
"Dad answers the door with a shot gun?" Sam stated looking around at the house. It was filled with older furniture but with obvious signs that teenagers lived in the house.
"Let's just wait to make sure Julia is okay," Dean stated as he was more curious than scared at the moment. He ran his hand through his hair as the boys entered into the kitchen. Jerry turned on the coffee pot and uncovered some brownies.
"You boys hungry?" Jerry asked. Dean grabbed a brownie and Sam followed suit after Dean nudged him. The boys sat down at the table waiting for a conversation that they had no idea how to start. Dean began to look around the room and noticed some things that just didn't seem to fit in a normal person's home. There were books everywhere. And not best sellers but ancient books that look like they belonged in a library back in Europe or something. Before Dean could ask anything, Julia and her mother came back into the room. Julia was no longer in her jeans and t-shirt but now a wife beater and sweats. Her mother carried quite a big first aid kit with her. The three men seemed to be intruding in their argument that must have started in Julia's old room.
"You need to go the hospital Julia. You're half frozen and bleeding in some places. You'll feel better about tonight after a night at the hospital," Julia's mother stated.
"Mother, I'm fine. Give me some gauze and a blanket, I'll live," Julia stated as she sat down in the chair between Sam and Dean. Julia's mother dropped the kit on the table hard.
"Julia, stop being so pig-headed," her mother kept pushing.
"That's Jennifer," Jerry pointed out to the boys. Sam couldn't help but smile at the family antics. Dean stood up and walked over to the coffee pot. Jerry instantly pulled out some coffee cups and gave one to Dean who filled up a cup and handed it back to Jerry. He filled up a second one and leaned on the counter next to Jerry.
"Mother, you are going to wake up Jason and Jo," Julie stated. Sam laughed. Jerry, Jennifer, Julie, Jason, and Jo, what other J names were there.
"Thank god JJ isn't here," Julie's mother stated. Dean turned and looked at Jerry.
"Have any more kids or did you run out of J names?" Dean asked. Jerry tried not to laugh at Dean.
"I wanted a Johnny but Jennifer said no," Jerry stated. All three of the boys laughed as the two woman gave dirty looks to all. Silence entered the room. Dean took a sip of coffee as he looked around the room.
"Okay, who's going to start the share-fest?" Dean asked. All eyes turned and looked at Julia.
"Ugh, you want me poked and prodded and to share everything that happened tonight?" Julia asked. Exhaustion stared Dean and Sam in the face as Julia started to gather her thoughts to explain it to her parents. Dean started.
"Well, Sam and I met Julia and Helen at the bar downtown," Dean stated. He put down his coffee. "We agreed to meet them the next day for lunch."
"But unknown to us, Helen is not who she seems and kidnapped your daughter the night before," Sam continued. He was going to keep going but Julia cut him off.
"Helen's evil, she used me as bait to get to Dean and Sam. Dean and Sam Winchester," Julia emphasized Winchester. Both of the parents' jaws dropped. Dean and Sam looked at each other. They never told Julia their last names.
"How did you know who you were?" Sam finally asked. Julia's already red face began to blush.
"Well, you figured out that Helen and I were hunters. Well, hunting runs in our family. And you two, well, in the hunter's world, your well known," Julia said. Dean and Sam sort of sat in silence for a moment before Dean cut in.
"So, we're famous?" Dean said with a huge smile.
"Oh god, you unleashed a monster," Sam groaned. Julia's family laughed for the first time all together. Julia's mother looked at the clock.
"Well, I think that's enough for tonight," Jennifer stated. The boys stood not knowing if they were going to stay or go. "You both can stay with Julia if you want or in the basement." Dean nodded his head just as Julia's dog walked into the room. It was huge and brown.
"Julia's room?" Dean asked as soon as he saw the dog. Julia laughed as she walked down the hall into her room. Sam looked into the first aid kit and pulled out the items to stitch up a wound. Julia's parents handed Dean some blankets before traveling up the stairs turning off the lights as they did. Sam and Dean awkwardly walked into Julia's room where she was sitting on her day bed with the trundle pulled out to make it wider.
"The three of us can lay this way on it," Julia stated as she started to lie down to show the boys, "they beds are hooked together so they won't split in the middle of the night."
"Julia," Dean stated as he walked over to the bed and pulled Julia back up to a sitting position, "You need stitches in your shoulder or you're going to bleed all over who ever is on your right." Julia cringed at the word stitches.
"That's what it is," Sam stated as he pulled up the stool that was in Julia's room, "You hate needles which is why you fought your mother on going to the hospital." Julia slowly got off of her bed and grabbed a hair tie from the dresser and put up her hair high and in a bun.
"That and my parents don't have anything to numb the area," Julia stated as she watched Sam pull out the thread and needle. Dean instantly was reminded of the past and how hard it was to stitch him up after being sliced open.
"Come here Julia, did you ever swing spider-style on a swing?" Dean asked as he sat further back on day bed. "You can't move if Sam pieces you back together so, I'll hold you and then it won't hurt as much." Julia looked less and less happy as she climbed onto Dean's lap facing him. Sam pulled over a lamp and the stool and sat right in front of Dean and Julia. Julia put her hands on Dean's shoulders as she tiredly looked at Dean. Sam began to clean the wound Julia took a sharp breath in and squeezed Dean's shoulders. Dean realized it was going to take more than just holding Julia to keep her still.
"You know, Sam and I spent a lot of time in hotels as kids," Dean started off as Sam began to thread the needle. Dean wrapped his arms gently around Julia's back. "And let's just say Sammy and I were amazing at jumping on beds when we were bored as any kid would be." As Sam started to stitch up Julia Dean saw a tear drip down her cheek.
"Anyways," Dean said loud enough for Julia to look him in the eyes, "One day Sam decided to go Superman on me and tried to fly. Needless to say he missed the bed and cut his head open on the dresser. I had to sit on him to stitch him up he was wiggling so much." Julia cracked a smile but it was quickly disappeared and replaced with a look of pain when Sam stuck her too deep. She buried her head in Dean's chest without regard to the fact that Sam was still stitching her up. Dean shot Sam a look as he rested his head on Julia's. Dean could feel Julia's fingers digging into his back. Gently, he rubbed her backto comfort her.
"Sorry Julia, I didn't mean too," Sam stated. "And I say that to Dean a lot because that story he was telling you, I goofed up there too." Sam continued to quickly sew up the last bits. "Dean and I had a plan; you could barely see the cut and Dean did an amazing job covering it up. But when our father questioned us on what we did that day, I accidentally spilled the beans. And Dean won't ever let me forget it." Sam finished stitching, tied it off, and recovered the wound with fresh bandages. Sam looked at Dean in surprise because Julia wasn't moving.
"I think she passed out from pain...good going Sammy," Dean whispered. Dean gently stood up holding onto Julia for Sam to see. Sam nodded his head in confirmation of apassed outJulia. Sam crawled onto the bed as Dean slowly laid Julia down in the middle of the bed. Sam held his hands out just in case his brother slipped but he didn't. Both of the brothers gently rolled Julia onto her stomach.
"Think we should prop her up?" Sam asked looking at her shoulder. Dean smiled that smile as he took off his black hoodie. "Dean, you have to be kidding me?" Gently Dean lied down next to Julia.
"Can you think of something better?" Dean asked. Sam rolled his eyes as he helped prop Julia on her side with her head on Dean's right arm and with her wounded arm on his chest. Sam stood up and looked at the two whom if Sam didn't know the whole situation felt like he was intruding on a couple. But he did know the situation so he took of his excess clothes, turned off the lights, and crawled onto the open space on the bed.
"Jeans are so uncomfortable," Sam muttered. Waiting for a response from Dean, Sam fell asleep before he heard Dean's response.
The next morning, Dean woke up to the sounds of the kitchen that he has never really heard before. He slowly turned to look to Julia to see if she was still asleep. Her head was more on Dean's shoulder than it was last night and there was a blanket covering the two of them. Dean raised his head to see that Sam was already up and out of the room. Smoothly, he lifted up Julia's head and slid a pillow underneath it the long way so it would barely disrupt her sleeping. As Dean stood he could finally see what kind of girl Julia was. Sharp-shooters awards were strung around the little room of yellow. Pictures were everywhere of her and Helen too. Quietly Dean snuck out of the room, taking one last look at Julia who was peacefully sleeping on her bed.
Down the hall and into the kitchen, Dean found Sam and assumingly Jason sitting at the table laughing with both of their computers out. Cables were everywhere. Dean made a beeline for the coffee.
"Morning Dean," Sam stated. The blond beside Sam waved to Dean as well. Dean waved as he poured some coffee and then eventually joined Sam and Jason at the table.
"Where is everyone?" Dean asked rubbing his eyes. Sam and Jason both closed their laptops and looked at Dean.
"Mom is at work, Dad went to the precinct early, Jo is at school, and Julia is passed out on a sleeping pill in her room," Jason said as he counted on his fingers, "Oh, and Duke is outside."
"Wait," Dean said rehashing. "Your dad is a cop? Does he know that Liam Jones is dirty, or at least dirty in the evil sense?" Jason nodded his head.
"That's why he went into work early. Dad's pretty high up there so he's going to talk to the sheriff. Who, might I mention, a believer in the supernatural so there's not a problem there," Jason said as he stood up and pulled out a pan of cinnamon rolls from the oven. Dean's stomach instantly growled. He stood to help Jason out. There were only a couple of rolls left in the pan. Dean looked back and forth between the boys.
"Don't worry Dean, Jason and I ate with the rest of the family this morning," Sam stated. Dean turned and looked at the clock. It was only 9am. Dean gave Sam a look.
"We would have woken you up but once Julia started telling the story, she couldn't stop. Sam filled in the blanks of you and him in the house," Jason said as he pulled out a plate for Dean. Dean took the plate from Jason and the frosting from the counter.
"So that means she knows how we propped her up last night?" Dean asked as he just piled on the frosting. Sam laughed out loud at what Dean said. "What?" Dean asked at the same time as he took a mouthful of cinnamon roll.
"Something she said this morning, she thought she was on her body pillow last night because of you black shirt and it's a black pillow until she saw her face. It was the most brilliant and funny thing she's said to-date," Sam said laughing. "She wasn't mad."
"She wasn't mad," Jason repeated with a goofy look on his face.
"Whatever," Dean stated. "Wait…sleeping pill?" Sam shook the bottle that was sitting in front of him. He then leaned back in his chair as his brother started to soak all the information in.
"It was revenge of the mother. Julia hates sleeping in and now she'll sleep all day," Sam laughed. Jason wiggled his eyebrows.
"So, what were you boys doing and shouldn't you be in school, you are Jo's twin aren't you?" Dean stated as he stood to get more cinnamon rolls after he finished his first.
"Sam was giving me all the information from past hunts for my website. I'm not the hunting type like Julia but I love computers. And since all of the hunts my sister has accomplished was not real the entire site is practically empty. Sam's just helping fill it in. And yes, I should be at school but I volunteered to keep an eye on you as Julia is passed out," Jason said as turned his laptop around so Dean could see. It was still a small site but he could see pictures and things that he had been seeing in the last year on the site. Dean nodded his head and gave his approval to Jason's site.
"Speaking of, Jason here said he would take us to the library to try and figure out what to do about Helen," Sam said. Dean nodded his head.
"Let me just go and get my hoodie," Dean states as he walked out of the kitchen. Slowly, he entered into Julia's bedroom trying not to disturb her at all. She was barely moving at all, Dean and to look close to see her chest move. He grabbed his hoodie from the ground. When he looked again Julia's eyes were open and staring right at him.
"Whoa," Dean said as he fell back onto the ground. "You have to warn people before you do things like that. Noises, throat clearing, ruffling around, just not popping your eyes open," Dean whispered. Julia rolled her eyes as she yawned.
"Don't tell Jason I'm awake yet. I'm hoping he's offered to take you on the town tour so I can take an extra long shower to maybe just maybe get rid of these wounds," Julia stated as she raised her eyebrows in a pleading look to Dean. He smiled and shook his head.
"Actually he's taking us to the library to find something on Helen," Dean paused to see if the name would have an effect on Julia. She kept looking at him with no changes. "Stay out of sight she couldn't have gone far. And keep your cell phone on you."
"Thanks Dean," Julia said as she stiffly stretched. She slowly sat up on her bed.
"You didn't take the sleeping pills," Dean stated but didn't question her. Julia laughed.
"I never do, I just pretend to get her off my back. And I'm pretty sure she never does anyways," Julia stated as she waved Dean off. "Go have fun with my brother." Dean walked out trying not to laugh.
Hours later, the boys showed back up at the house. Things were eerily quiet in the house that should have most definitely been making noise. Jason ran upstairs to see if Jo was home from school while Sam and Dean made their way into the kitchen to see if Julia was alive and kicking.
"Does something seem wrong here?" Dean asked his younger brother who was staring outside. Dean joined Sam at the window. Outside was a huge backyard with a corn field at the fringes of it. Lying in the middle of the yard was Duke.
"Didn't we leave Duke inside when we left?" Sam stated as both boys made their way to the door. Slowly they pushed it open as the dog still didn't move.
"Yes," Dean stated as they walked closer. They didn't have to get close to know that Duke was dead. The dog laid there not moving but it wasn't even peaceful. The scene was just so violating.
"This is like the movie Signs," Sam said as Dean turned and looked back at the house that was too quiet when they walked in. Sam took a couple more steps closer to the dog before he realized that Dean was no longer looking at Duke.
"Why haven't we seen Julia yet?" Dean stated as Sam turned right around to look at the house as well. Sam took a step back as he looked at the house.
"Dean, the house is marked," Sam stated abruptly. Dean turned and looked at his brother. The house looked normal to him.
"How can you tell?" Dean asked as the boys started to swiftly back to the house. Dean looked at his younger brother who just shook his head as they ran inside.
"Julia?" Dean shouted as he ran down the hall. Sam ran upstairs to Jason who was unusually quiet himself. Dean ran into her room. The pictures of her and Helen were all ripped up to shreds everywhere. The room was completely torn apart. Dean stuck his head out of the room hearing Sam coming down.
"Jason saw Duke from the window; he's in the kitchen trying to get a hold of his parents. What happened in here?" Sam said as he walked into the room.
"It looks like Julia and Helen had another fight…this time without us to intervene," Dean stated as he picked up one of the pictures. The boys heard Jason shouting for them from the kitchen. They ran out of the room to Jason grabbing the keys to the Impala.
"Julia and Jo are at the hospital," was all Jason said as all three of the boys took off for the county hospital, speeding on the roads in Dean's Impala.
A/N: I know I know...poor Julia, she keeps getting the raw end of the deal. Guess you're going to have to wait for the next chapter to see what goes down. And I love reviews!
