Disclaimer: -sighs- haven't you figured it out yet? I'll spell it out I-DO-NOT-OWN-SUPERNATURAL!
Author's note: Ok now, I ALMOST gave up on this idea because everything I wrote seemed wrong and messy and felt like it was moving too fast. But don't worry I got a fresh brainwave and a new ending, one that will drag it out more and hopefully add a bit more angst and drama…. I know this story is really pretty sucky, thanks for all of you who have borne with my random rambling for so long…
Sam added his own opinion to Dean's. "What? No way. I can't be the chosen one. And there is no way you're just gonna sacrifice yourself to this thing! We can't let you do that!" Despite having just met this girl both brothers already felt a connection to her because of what she had gone through.
Audrey gazed at the two of them, and both brothers flinched at her intensity. Too old, too emotionless, too weary, too tired, too shattered, too knowing, too wise for someone her age. So much was reflected in her eyes, none of it things that should have been there. She, like their own family, had been thorough so much. Like steel wrapped in silk she was strong, but she had been pushed too far and now the steel had cut through the silk and reversed it, becoming silk wrapped in steel… But she could still be retrieved, like Dean had been; like Sam had been twice. Both boys knew they could still pull her back from the abyss.
"You two don't believe me. You don't understand my power! My visions are never wrong!" She turned toward Sam. " Sam, don't you want to end this thing? With me, you CAN! It can all be over! You will avenge your mother and Jess's death! And I'll to the grave peacefully knowing I took that thing down with me! But I need your help. Without you my sacrifice is useless! And don't say you can't be the chosen one. I had a dream about you, and even now I can feel your power inside. All it needs is a push, a trigger. My sacrifice will be that trigger! The demon is coming soon I can feel it, so choose! Do you want to kill him once and for all right here right now or do you want to wait and continue grasping at 'maybes'?"
Dean looked on horrified, as Sam actually seemed to be considering her words. He decided it was time for an intervention.
"WHOA hold it right there!" He looked at the girl. "All right, first off, stop saying 'sacrifice', that word is seriously pissing me off right now! The thing you're sacrificing is your life, you know that right? YOU'RE GOING TO FREAKIN' DIE! You can't just do that, we won't let you! I mean, you're smart! You could really do something in your life! Or you could become one of us; I can see that happening, but something I do NOT see happening is you dying! Let's get that clear right now! I mean what does your life mean to you!"
The girl was unfazed by his words, he could see as he glanced into her eyes. He could see that truthfully her life meant nothing to her as long as she could kill this demon. So he turned to Sam.
"AND YOU! How can you even consider letting her throw away her life? SHE'S A HUMAN BEING! I don't fucking care if you think this is the way to kill this demon, THERE ARE ALWAYS OTHER WAYS! ONES THAT DON'T INVOLVE INNOCENT 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS DYING!"
His words, he could see, at least penetrated through to Sam. Sam's eyes cleared as he realized what he had actually been considering. He looked at Audrey; whose eyes were now almost pleading so great was her need and will to kill the demon. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you do this. Not for anything. You have a future. You could do so much. You could kill so much more than just this one demon if you chose to do what we do. You could do so much more anywhere else you wanted."
"Yeah that's right you tell her Sammy."
Sam shot him a glare. "It's Sam" He returned his attention to Audrey. "Do you understand me?"
She was still, knowing that now she was defeated. Without Sam's cooperation her sacrifice was meaningless. Now she seemed to be considering their words. Dean chimed in-again. "Yeah just because your spidey senses say so, doesn't mean you have to. We can take this demon down together. Sacrifice or no sacrifice."
A ghost of a smile flickered up into Audrey's eyes. She raised her eyebrows at Sam and said "Spidey senses?" Sam grinned and shrugged. She turned her head to look at Dean next, and said clearly, enunciating every word. "And stop saying I'm 14. I'm 16!" Dean smiled, as she seemed to hear sense and a flash of the person she used to be surfaced. "But if we're gonna kill this demon, we better get ready. It's coming. Tonight. There is one more thing we could try. It's tricky, but we can do it. And that demon is not going to live to see another dawn." Cold determination gleamed in her eyes, and neither brother doubted her word.
