White Magic
Chapter 14: Running
BANG! A magical bomb hidden under the Basket Ball trophy exploded. Young 15 year old Sam watched in horror as the Basket Ball teem and the nearest students were turned to dust. But the most terrible was still to come.
"DADDY!" Yelled Erica as she ran toward the stage.
"NO! Erica get away from there!" yelled Sam frantically. He understood why his girlfriend would run to see if her father was ok, but he needed to get her out of here. A demon was coming.
Sam ran after his girl. Sam was bigger than her but she had the athletic genetics. He was about to catch her when his brother grabbed him from behind. "What the hell are you doing? Get out of here!"
"ERICA!" Yelled Sam as his big brother pushed him away from her. He fell to the ground with the force of his brother's push. He was about to get up when the second explosion took place. Sam watched in horror as Erica disintegrated. "ERICA!"
But it was too late… she was gone…
Sam woke with a start. The memory was old but it still hurt. Loosing his first love to a demon trying to get into our world isn't something everyone experiences. Sam should have fell strongly into hunting but instead he shied away from it. Maybe if he had Jessica would still be alive…
Whoa… wait. Why was he remembering this now? That had been years ago. He put it behind him. Why was the memory back to haunt him? He sat in silence thinking this over.
Then suddenly the door to his room burst open and Jez charged into the room, "What the hell was that about?"
"Urrmm…" said Sam speechless.
"Did you have my nightmare too? Because I sure as hell got yours,"
"I umm yes,"
"Why the hell are they doing this to me?" yelled Jez stomping to the window, "What have I done to them?" Sam didn't know what to say, "Nothing that's what I did. No correction. I was born. That's why they are doing this to me!"
"Who's doing what to you?"
"Fate, God, Death name any biblical figure/mythical force. They are all trying to make my life hell!" She turned sharply back to Sam, "And don't try to be all sympathetic and say that not all of them hate me. That would be a lie I know for a fact several of them do hate me. They told me so,"
"Why would they hate you?"
"I'm neutral,"
"Well, there has to be other neutral creatures, beings,"
"No, not like I don't take sides. (I usually side with the good guys) They think I look at the conflict and choose what's best for my own personal agenda. But that's a lie I choose the side that's not trying to dominate the earth,"
"I wish I could do that…"
"What have almost everyone hate you?"
"No, choose what side I fight on. I always have to side with Dean and my Dad," Sam sounded slightly bitter.
"Oh, I sense back story," said Jez now calm. Sam looked at her confused. Jez noticed, "What? Do I have something in my teeth?"
"No! Its just you were super pissed two seconds ago and now you're calm…"
"Yeah, I do that. Drives people crazy,"
"Maybe that's why they don't like you,"
"Do you think I care? Life's more fun this way," Sam laughs, "What?"
"That's the last thing I would have expected a powerful person like yourself to say,"
"That's why they keep coming back," said Jez with a smile.
Sam laughed, "That could be why. You're also very powerful,"
"Really? I had no idea," said Jez sounding not too happy.
"What you don't like power?"
"Wasn't my choice…" Jez's eyes seemed to mist over as she remembered something, "But that's a story for another day…"
She gets up and starts to leave, "Wait? Where…"
"I'm off to breakfast. Fell free to join me," She leaves.
"Well… that was interesting…"

Dean woke as his dad shook him awake, "Dean! We need to get out of here!"
"Why? It's here and we don't have any way of stopping it,"
"But what about Sam?" Said Dean now wide-awake.
"From what I've learned Sam is safer with Jez than he is with us. Besides it doesn't know we're here. If we leave quickly it may never know," Said John urgently.
"But what about--"
"Dean this is an order! We have to leave! Your brother will be fine," John then grabbed Dean's bag and headed out the door. Dean (having slept in his clothes) ran after him.
