So I hope you have enjoyed what you have read so far and that you aren't bald from pulling yer hair out cuz I have been slow putting up the story. Truly sorry I am and its a long story. Anyways music is from Lynyrd Skynyrd and is called Down South Jukin'
Leaning my head against the car window I watched the late afternoon sky fly by. Thinking about everything that has happened I couldn't help but think my whole life was screwed. Doomed to never be happy. An image of Sarah smiling flashed in my head and I smiled, well she made me happy but we were so far apart.
Julia sighed behind me, lost in her own thoughts. I watched her from the passengers side mirror, she fingered with the tips of her ebony colored hair. Maybe there was hope I thought, for all of us to be happy after the demon was dealt with. Dean could stop worrying about all of us and finally get a home, find some of his innocence somehow again. He could be with Julia I thought the way he looked at her made me wish this hellish war was over.
Julia was looking at me in the mirror, a small smiled danced upon her lips and her dark eyes gleamed. Smiling back I felt foolish for having been caught. Everything will be okay I thought. Seconds later I regret saying that as my skull started to pound like it was going to split.
I groaned squeezing my eyes shut, and pressing the palms of my head. Knowing all to well it wouldn't ease the pain. The voices of everyone became muffled then silent as I was encased into the vision. In the vision all I saw were two brown eyes, and for a split second they were filled with sorrow before turning a pitch black.
At the same time a gun was loaded and cocked. Someone screamed "NOW!" but the voice sounded like two people talking at the same time. One filled with sorrow the other hate and it sounded familiar.
A gunshot sounded making me jump, my heart dropped when I heard Dean scream "NO!"
The vision ended, leaving me with a headache and feeling shaky. Who was getting shot i wondered as slowly everything around me cleared. Blinking rapidly I noticed we were parked outside a diner. Rubbing my temple I turned to look at Dean who had one hand on the steering wheel and had his brows furrowed at me.
"Was it a vision?" asked dad.
"Yea." I said softly,re-thinking it over. What does it mean? I thought looking outside but not really seeing it, searching for some clue to what it means. This vision unsettled me, it wasn't like the others I had. With the others at least I knew where it wold take place and at least if it was night or day.
"And?" Dean urged loudly
"I don't know really, someone is possessed I think, and there was a gunshot, thats it." I replied leaving the part about Dean out, I wanted to find out more before saying anything.
Looking up, Deans lips were pursed, lost in his own mind. He opened his mouth as if to ask something then promptly closed it with a click.
"Let's get something to eat, I'm starving." He grumbled quietly opening the drivers door and stepping out. The rest of us followed suite.
I wonder what that was all about I thought. I thought of when Dean left with Amy and wondered if something happened. She could read minds what if she had visions as well? As we walked in a waitress nodded at us to take a seat. Slipping into a booth we sat huddled close. Dean and Julia on one side, Dad and I on the other. The music was played softly and I listened absentmindedly.
Well Billy Joe told me, said everything's lookin' fine
He's got the place all secured, got the icebox full of wine
He said hurry on over and don't be late
He got three lovely ladies who just won't wait
"Did you see where it was?" Dean asked, leaning forward onto the old wooden table.
I shook my head, and he leaned back with a loud sigh. Just then the waitress came for our orders.
Do some down south jukin'
And lookin' for a peace of mind
Now put your Sunday pants on, lets get out on on the road
We been workin' all week, and I'm thinkin' its time we let go
I got three fine mamas sittin all alone, gonna sip our wine and get it on
"What do you know Dean?" Dad asked quietly after the waitress left to get our drinks.
Scratching his head he replied solemnly, "Nothing; just wish we knew if this is a strap or not. Look what happened last time when we tried fighting the demon."
And do some down south jukin'
Lookin' for a peace of mind
My gaze flickered to Julia who was looking at us confused. She doesn't know what happened I thought that was smart drag her into danger with no knowledge of whats happening. Her pale red lips parted but dad cut in.
"Be prepared and do what you have to, no matter what." he aimed the last part at me.
I clenched my jaw, this was about the night he was possessed by the demon that killed mom and why I didn't kill him to end it all. I couldn't I thought thinking back to that night, Deans pleas to not shoot dad and my feelings of conflict. The demon had killed the people we loved and dad was cold toward me, angry for leaving in the first place.
Letting the words slide off me, I let Dean answer the challenge and took a sip of the cooling coffee.
"It isn't worth losing more people you love!" Dean said loudly, which brought a few glances of worry over to our table.
Dad and Dean glared at each other while Julia said softly "What happened?"
"Its what we are hunting the fire demon and what happened before we landed in the hospital." I answered her question. She nodded as if that explained everything and looked a little nervous at the open discussion of the demon. Brings back bad memories I thought.
"Julia. What did you find at the place?" Dad asked coldly sending her a steely glare.
Her eyes flashed and she fingered the lip of the empty water glass. "I found my sister and they were protecting a newly possessed."
"And?"
There's more of It's children? I thought, will it never end?
"I didn't finish." she replied eying all of us.
"They wrecked havoc on us and we all nearly died because you couldn't kill Meg or the demons other child." Dad hissed, giving her a look of disapproval, I remember that look, he gave it to me when I said I was going to college. Rather than backing down Julia glared back.
What dad had just said clicked, Meg was her sister? I thought looking at Dean. He shrugged and I looked back at Julia. Her eyes were hard and jaw clenched tightly. He didn't have the right to treat her like this. She wasn't his daughter.
"They are dead anyways." He finished coldly taking a sip of coffee.
Now come Monday morn we'll be headin' out to the field
And we'll be doin our thing for Papa and ol' Uncle Bill
Lord, but then come Friday night we'll be headin to town
Tryin' to pick up any woman hanging around
And do some down south jukin'
Lookin' for a peace of mind
Julia's masked face showed sorrow for a split seconded then hardened again.
"Dad.." I started, this had to end but Julia stood up and interrupted saying rather dryly; "Excuse me I'm going to go kill myself.
