We get closer to Rowena's mansion and the hairs on my body stand tall. Sam wasn't able to convince Dean to stay behind like last time, coming in later as back up if something happened "you two couldn't save a kitten from a tree" is how he liked to phrase it. The ride was intensely silent. Dean is mad at Sam and I for not telling him we knew something, Sam is mad at me for getting Dean involved, and I decided to be mad at Sam for being mad at me. If he wasn't always going missing, I wouldn't have had to lie to Dean. Throughout the ride, Sam keeps giving me stink eyes looks through his mirror. As we inch closer, his looks bothering me more and more so when I catch him glancing at me again with thoughtful eyes I stick out my tongue like I'm 4 and roll my eyes. After I roll them I look back to the mirror and his eyes are still on me.
"Ugh, can you go any faster?" I spit out sitting forward bringing my elbows to a rest in the center.
Dean looks down at my invasive elbows and adverts his eyes back on the road "Already going 100 darling" he responds. Although he said that, I can feel the car go juts a tad bit faster now.
"So you know where this book is?" Sam finally speaks up looking over and down to me.
When I respond, I keep my eyes trained forward "Yup. I know where she was keeping it.. She doesn't think anyone can get to it or something so she doesn't even lock it up.." I lie. They don't need to know the book is for beginner witches and I'm risking our lives for it. A little while later Dean starts to slow down. I look around and some things look sort of familiar, so we must be really close.
"You sure about this?" I say to them "I could do it myself, I was held captive there.." I try again to convince them to stay and wait for me.
"Jackie" Dean grunts out annoyed at my consistent asking. I shrug my shoulders and sit back into the seat.
We pull up to the block the house is on a few minutes later. He parks it 4 houses away and we sit silently waiting for midnight to roll around. Dean doesn't keep the radio or car on while we wait, so it starts to get boring and cold pretty quickly. "Can we pleaseee turn the heat on!" I chatter through my teeth, the nights were still chilly and I didn't bring a jacket.
"No, we are not going to let baby idle in the cold because you forgot a jacket" Dean returns to me, eyes still forward.
"Sam, give me your jacket" I turn my head to his brother. I figured maybe he'd at least be nice to me.
His eyes widen with shock at my demand "Nooo" He says dragging out the o's.
I chuckle out appalled by his response. Dean shrugs out of his jacket and throws it back over his shoulder to me. It hits me in the face and I put it back on "Thanks Dean" I exaggerated his name towards Sam "at least someone is a gentlemen." No one responds and we sit in silence again.
Although the clock read it was 12:00 15 minutes ago I don't say anything. Dean has been gripping the steering wheel for about a half an hour now, and I'm going to let him call out when it's time to move ahead with out plan. Finally, at 12:22 Dean opens his car door and Sam follows suit. I sigh out heavily in relief and get out of the car. I stretch out as the brothers go into the trunk of the car and pull out weapons for us.
We walk quickly up to the house and push the front door open slowly, Dean in front followed by me then Sam. When I told them that the book was upstairs in a bedroom Dean gave me a quizzical look "well that's specific" he mumbled
"For a witch holding me captive she was nice" I spit through gritted teeth annoyed at his constant replies.
"Whatever" he said back focusing back on the road. We get inside and things are quiet. There are 3 lights on downstairs and we stay away from those rooms. Dean gestures with hand movements for us to go upstairs and Sam stay down as look out. Sam nods so I do as well and we split up. We walk up the stairs and Dean looks to me for guidance when he notices there are 6 closed doors in the hall. I try and guide him with my eyes to the right side of the hallway but he doesn't follow. I roll my eyes and lift my hand, pointing down towards the door. He follows my hand and nods and holds up a number 1. I shake my head in response and he holds up a number 2. I nod yea this time and he puts his hand back on his weapon. We creep against the wall and over to the door. He turns the handle down and it opens swiftly.
The door opens and my eyes go straight to the dresser where the book and a envelope lay. Shit, this wasn't there when I left. I glance at Dean and he's looking over by the closet. I walk slowly into the room and he follows me. I walk slowly to dresser, trying not to grab any attention to myself. When I get there I grab the envelope and stuff it under the pillow "what are you doing?" Dean whispers to me from across the room. He just checked the closet and is walking over.
"looking for the book" I roll my eyes like he asked the stupidest question ever.
"could it possibly be the one that's right behind you" he sneeringly replies.
I jerk my head around "oh, ya. That's it" I ignore his stare and pick it up. "let's get out of here!" I hold it tight to my chest.
"Hand it over" He said with command.
"No, lets just go!" I try to walk past him but he jerks my arm.
"Jackie, give me the book" he snarls again and I hold my stance "you don't know how powerful it could be. It's better if I hold it" he explains.
I sigh. I know the book is powerful and that it is actually more safe with me, but he doesn't know that so I relinquish the leather bound book to him and he grabs it and walks to the door.
I go to follow but remember the envelope and wonder what it was doing there. I turn around and shove my hands under the pillow, fishing for it. Something cuts my finger and I found it. I rip it out from there and stuff into into my jeans waistband. I quickly leave the room and shut the door quietly as Dean wait impatiently for me to catch up to him at the end of the hallway. We go down the steps and Sam is a few feet from where we left him hunched against a wall. His eyes open wide and he asks with a look if we got it. Dean nods and we bolt for the front door. We get outside and when we get in the car Dean pulls away before Sam even shuts his door "Jesus Dean!" He yells at his brother once it's closed.
"What?" he snickers back putting his foot down like lead.
"Was that too easy?" Sam speaks about 45 minutes later. "It seemed way easy" he looks back at me.
"I don't know, maybe she just wasn't home" I shrug not really sure if it was easy or not. I feel the envelope in my back and continue to wonder what it could be about. Sam and Dean begin to bicker about it and I know I can't listen to this the whole way. "I have to pee!" I shout out from the back.
"Hold it" they say in unison before continuing their annoying spat. I let my head fall against the back of the seat and try to run through some of the spells Rowena taught me from the book before I left.
