HUNTED
Evie's POV
Sam and I were both staring at Dean in shock and confusion because he hadn't said anything to us about John telling him something before he died and although I knew it wasn't really my business I still felt hurt which meant I couldn't imagine what Sam was feeling right now because Dean had been keeping this from us.
"He said that he…wanted me to watch out for you…take care of you" Dean finally replied after what seemed like forever.
"He told you that a million times" Sam argued shaking his head.
"No this time was different" Dean said shaking his head back at him and dropped his eyes to the ground. "He said that I had to…save you" I frowned even more confused, save Sam from what.
"Save me from what?" Sam asked as if reading my thoughts but then everything I was thinking had to be running through Sam's head ten times more intense given it involved him and not me.
"He just said that I had to save you, the nothing else mattered and that if I couldn't I'd…"
"You'd what Dean?" Sam asked sounding on the verge of panic as Dean trailed off again.
"I'd have to kill you" my eyes widened looking at Dean as I couldn't believe that, John would not have asked him that but one look into his eyes as they met mine for a second I saw the truth and I balled my fists seeing the tears there as he broke up admitting it. "He said I might have to kill you Sammy"
"Kill me?" Sam asked sounding as shocked as I felt. "What the hell's that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know" Dean replied refusing to look at him.
"I mean he must've had some reason for saying it, right?" Sam demanded sounding like he was getting angry and I couldn't blame him, his own father told his brother to kill him. "I mean did he know the demon's plans for me, am I supposed to go dark side or something?" Sam exclaimed throwing his arms so I jumped down from the fence because we shouldn't be yelling at each other for this. "What else did he say Dean!?"
"Nothing I swear" Dean replied shaking his head.
"How could you have not told me this?!"
"Because it was dad, he begged me not to" I frowned getting even angry at John since there was no way he could put that on Dean and tell him not to tell us.
"Who cares, take some responsibility for yourself Dean!" Sam yelled and I turned to him. "You had no right to keep this from me"
"You think I wanted this…huh, I wish to god he'd never opened his mouth" Dean shouted towards Sam and I looked away as a thought suddenly dawned on me.
'You'll know when the times right Evelyn' John had said that to me after I confronted him on what he told Dean in the hospital before it all went down…was this what he was talking out. 'If Dean can't do what's right when the times is right then you have to do it' oh my god…I gasped when I came to the realization and both of them turned to me.
"What?" Sam asked a little harsher than was necessary.
"No…nothing" I stuttered and Dean furrowed his brows at me as Sam turned around walking away form us.
"We just gotta figure out what's going on then, what the hell all this means" Sam suddenly said turning back towards and I noticed his nose was scrunching up which meant he was really angry since he only does that when he's pissed.
"We do?" Dean spoke up and Sam turned to him. "I've been thinking about this, I think we should just lay low, you know at least for a while be safer and that way we can make sure-"
"What?" Sam cut him off before he could finished his sentence. "That I don't turn evil, that I don't turn into a killer?"
"He never said that Sam" I cut in now since this whole thing was getting out of hand.
"Jeez, if you're not careful you will have to waste me one day, Dean"
"I never said that!" Dean exclaimed glaring at him. "Damn it Sam this whole thing is spinning out of control alright you're immune to some weirdo demon virus and I don't even know what the hell anymore" Dean continued with went eyes. "And your pissed at me and I get it that's fine, I deserve it but we lay low until we figure out our next move, okay?"
"Forget it" Sam shot back.
"Sam please man, hey please" Dean begged sounding like he was breaking which was enough to make me tear up. "Just give me some time, give me some time to think okay I'm begging you, please man please" I looked up at Sam since very rarely does Dean act like this and he nodded but I just had a feeling it was a lie.
That night we found a motel to crash, Dean and I were wrapped up on one of the beds with him snoring behind me with his arm over my waist resting on my stomach as I laid there with my eyes closed but couldn't sleep and was just listening to the rainstorm outside so when I heard the door open and close my eyes opened and saw Sam's bed empty…I knew it.
I carefully moved Dean's arm off my waist getting up without waking him and slipped my feet into my shoes and grabbed one of Dean's overshirts that was laying near the bed and rushed outside quietly seeing Sam walking away with a backpack and his laptop bag slung over his shoulder walking over to where the Impala was parked so I ran after him.
"Sam!" I called out and he turned to me with surprise. "You can't do this Sammy" I told him shaking my head at him feeling unwanted tears start pooling in my eyes.
"I have to" he replied continuing on ignoring me as I followed him.
"Sam please…you said you would give him time, he needs you"
"No he needs you" he replied using a coat hanger on a car parked next to the Impala to unlock it and I frowned since sometimes we knew way too much about illegal actions to be healthy. "You two need to get out, start a new life-"
"Not without you Sam, please" I argued practically begging him. "He'll break if you leave and I'm not…I'm not who he needs, you're his little brother"
"Take care of him and yourself pipsqueak" he just replied with a small sad smile before getting into the car and started it driving away before I could stop him.
"Sam!" I exclaimed taking a few steps after him but it was pointless, I looked up at the sky as the rain fell heavier soaking my clothes but I didn't care.
By the time I'd gotten my feet to move and head back to the room walking in seeing Dean exactly where I left him still soundlessly asleep actually looking peaceful which made a whole new wave of tears to start rolling down my face as I stripped out of my wet clothes leaving them on the ground and pulled a fresh shirt out of Dean's bag that was too big for me so it covered my butt and I crawled into the bed intended for Sam and just cried softly.
I had no idea what I was crying over but it still felt like my whole world was falling out from underneath my feet and I saw swimming in nothing…everything was falling apart and I just couldn't stop it, I've been blaming the baby for making me feel useless but in reality I've been useless a lot longer, I knew Dean didn't really need me otherwise we could have left Sam at Stanford and found John by ourselves but he was adamant that Sam had to be with us.
"Evie?" I opened my eyes seeing there was sunlight in the room and realised I must have fallen asleep…cried myself to sleep more like it, I sat up in the bed and he looked over at me with furrowed brows before he looked around taking note of Sam's stuff being gone. "Sam?" I dropped my eyes towards the bed spread. "Sam!" he got up and checked the bathroom before coming out obviously not finding him. "Evie where is he?"
"Gone" I replied and it was all I could say before bursting into unwanted tears, I hadn't been able to stop him.
"What do you mean gone, gone where?"
"I don't know!" I exclaimed and he looked surprised but he didn't say anything else and pulled out his phone flipping through it before pressing it to his ear.
"Sam!" he exclaimed but then sighed. "Damnit, Sam call me back now!" he hung up and rung straight back but clearly got the same result as he yelled out and threw his phone down on the bed before pacing a while I couldn't stop the tears rolling down my face. "Evie?" I looked up and his eyes softened at my face which would no doubt be puffy and red from all the crying which annoyed me since I was never this weak, before I got pregnant I hardly ever cried. "Hey, hey calm down" he sat on the bed and grabbed my hand but I couldn't stop and my breaths were coming out short. "Come Eve your gonna pass out"
"I…I…think…I'm ha…having…a pa…pa…panic…attack"
"Okay, okay hey just look at me" he lifted my chin so my eyes met his. "Just breath, slow down and listen to me alright" I shook my head, I didn't even know what I was having a panic attack for, he raised my hand holding it over his heart. "Slowly"
"It's…it's all my fault" I spat out slowly feeling my breathing even out as I calmed down just feeling Dean's heart beneath my hand
"What are you talking about?" he asked but I didn't answer him since I knew if I told him that I'd watched Sam leave last night we'd start yelling at each other because I should have stopped him and don't know why I didn't. "I'm gonna call Ellen maybe he's shown up at the Roadhouse" he stood and walked away a little bit with his phone and I sighed standing up going into the bathroom and splashed water over my face to get rid of the tear stains before I used the bathroom real quick and headed out just seeing him hang up. "Ellen hasn't seen him…yet but she said she'll let me know if he turns up" I nodded my head.
"I can…I can call my dad, maybe he went to Sioux Falls-"
"He wouldn't go to Bobby, he knows that's the first place we'd look and besides Bobby can't help him" I looked up at him with a mixed look of shock and confusion. "After what he said yesterday he want to find the others like him and to do that he'll need Ash" I nodded understanding that.
"Okay so do we try and catch up with him?" I asked and he turned taking me in.
"I am" I frowned confused but then I realised.
"Are you serious right now Dean!" I yelled at him since he couldn't seriously be implying that we split up right now.
"Yeah I am, I'm calling Bobby to come pick you up" he held up his phone again ready to key in my dad's number but I grabbed his phone holding it away from him. "Hey!" he reached out intending to snatch his phone back but I pulled it back. "Give me my phone Evelyn" I glared at him for this situation and for calling me Evelyn.
"No!" I exclaimed standing my ground.
"God damnit Evie I don't have time for this I have to find my brother and that doesn't involve you!" he yelled at me and I jumped staring at him for the words he used staring at him wide-eyed and he must have realised it because his shoulders sagged. "I didn't…I didn't mean that" my glare intensified.
"Yeah you did, the truth always comes out when one's angry Dean" I threw his phone down at his feet. "You want me gone so bad then fine, I'm gone!" I crossed the room to my duffel bag and started packing up the few clothes that was out pulling on some clothes as I went.
"Evie wait…just wait" he grabbed my arm but I yanked it out of his grip.
"Don't touch me!" his eyes widened since I'd never said that to him, I slipped my feet back into my combat boots and without tying them picked up my bag crossing the room towards the door grabbing the handle turning back ever so briefly seeing him frozen in the spot. "You know I've always doubted that I had a place with you and you've just proven that I was right, when it comes down to it I'm not important to you" I said before yanking the door open and ran out of the room slamming it shut walking down the street.
I just continued to walk without any idea of where I was going with every so often the thought that I should turn back but I pushed it back walking towards a diner but paused seeing a Ducati parked close to the side walk and stopped to admire it but then I looked around since I could hotwire it and take off.
I approached it casually looking around one last time but since it was early there wasn't that many people around that would actually take notice, I swung my leg over the bike settling down into the seat before getting to work, I felt around for the starter wires out of the ignition and followed them until I found the connector that connected to the motor and unclipped it before pulling my lockpick case out of my bag and found a random piece of wire that I kept in there for emergencies…never thought I'd needed it but being a mechanics daughter taught me a few things, I connected the wire and heard the ignition click over so I let the wires go and pushed the starter hearing it roar to life.
"Thank you daddy" I kicked up the stand and took off not knowing where I was going just that I had to get away from Dean…even for a little while or however long it took for us to apologize to each other if it ever happened since I'd never walked out on him, I hadn't ever wanted to until now.
I looked up when I suddenly realised where I was heading and frowned pulling over seeing a familiar sight right down the road…how long had I been driving, I sighed pulling back out onto the road driving the rest of the way before I pulled up flipping the bike off then hopped off and headed towards the door looking back at it longingly since I knew I'd have to abandon it, couldn't risk cops on my trial.
I pushed the door open and walked in eyes locking with the bar straight away seeing Ellen at the bar on the phone by the looks off it and when I approached the bar see turned widening her eyes when she saw me.
"…now Dean they say you can't protect your loved one's forever" my eyes widened when she said Dean and quickly shook my head signaling her not to say anything. "Well I saw screw that, what else is family for" she added staring right at me with an angry look on her face that had be sinking down in my seat. "He's in Lafayette, Indiana…and Evelyn-" I looked up seeing what she'd do. "You let me take care of her, find your brother…trust me Dean she's not in any danger" I couldn't hear what Dean said but I had a feeling he'd figured out what Ellen had implied pretty frigging clearly that I was here then she hung up the phone staring at me all scolding parental like.
"Spare me the lecture please" I told her when she refused to say anything and just continued to look at me, she sighed putting a clean glass onto the bar then squirted some coke into the glass from the facet.
"I don't know what went down between you kids but what you did was irresponsible, now Dean might be a little overprotective but it seems like it's warranted with you" I rolled my eyes grabbing the glass taking a sip recoiling since god I wished for something stronger right now.
"You wouldn't understand Ellen so don't even try" I spat at her then looked around hoping to spot Jo but couldn't see her anywhere. "Where's Jo?" she frowned looking down as she started cleaning glasses with a dish towel. "Ellen"
"Like I told Sam I don't know" I frowned confused. "After hunting with you kids she decided she wanted to keep on hunting" I looked down at my glass suddenly sullen. "I told her not under my roof and she said 'fine'" I sighed since Jo was always suborn but I never thought she'd do this.
"Ellen I'm sorry" she shook her head.
"It's not your fault sweetie" I sighed again looking down at the coke in my glass as I swirled it around again wishing it was something a lot stronger. "So what brought you here?"
"I was…I don't know I hotwired a bike and this is where I ended up"
"You rode a motorcycle!?" I looked up with a guilty look on my face. "Do you have no self-preservation for yourself or that baby" she whispered leaning closer to me. "I ought to swat you upside the head, they don't call 'em donor cycles for nothing Evelyn Singer" I scoffed.
"That's nothing to what I've been through in the last forty-eight hours" she looked at me confused before she shook her head.
"I should've told that boy you were here"
"Why he wouldn't care, precious Sammy always wins above me and probably this baby too" I mumbled to myself but she was close enough to hear. "Whatever, see you around Ellen" I stood up off the stool but she grabbed my hand.
"Where are you going?" she asked and I turned back to her.
"Why so you can tell Dean?" I spat at her and she just gave me a glare so I shrugged "I don't know, guess we'll see bye Ellen" I pulled my hand out from her grip and walked out seeing the bike still there and decided I could risk a few miles on so I hotwired it again and took off with one destination in mind…the one place all my worries just seemed pointless…home.
I stopped an hour later to refill the tank as it was running on fumes and checked my phone for the first time since I left seeing about twenty messages and forty-three missed calls with one voicemail all from Dean making me sigh and listen to the message.
'Evie please I know your angry and after what I said you have every right to be but please call me and let me know you're okay…and Eve I'm sorry' his voice was hoarse which made my heart ache but I wasn't going to give in that easy but I could at least tell him I was okay, I sighed pressing the number one key which immediately speed dialed him and pressed my phone to my ear listening to it ring a couple of time before the receiver clicked.
"Evie where are you?!" he demanded straight away. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Dean" I replied with a deep sigh.
"Where are you?" he demanded again.
"Don't worry about that I'm safe"
"Eve please I'm sorry-"
"You might be Dean but that doesn't change what you said"
"I know but it was an in the moment stupid mistake" he argued before sighing deeply. "Please just tell me where you are, I'll come get you and we can talk" I frowned shaking my head despite him not being able to see me.
"I…I just need time Dean, you should just focus on getting Sam back and maybe after some time apart-"
"Evie please-"
"Dean just stop, we've been together everyday for the past three years romantically together for two of those…this could do us some good being apart it'll give us time to decided what it is we really want-"
"You are what I want!" he snapped at me. "You and the baby are everything to me" I sighed looking down at my feet.
"Maybe everything isn't enough" I replied but heard a gunshot suddenly go off on his end and jumped suddenly filled with panic. "Dean!" I exclaimed but when he didn't answer I pulled the phone away from my ear and saw the call had dropped out. "Son of a bitch" I cursed looking around then groaned since I couldn't leave those boys alone for a day.
I ran inside paying for the fuel and grabbed a map figuring out where I had to go before I jumped back onto the bike and rode as fast as I dared without it being completely dangerous and turned a 8 hour trip into a 5 hour trip getting into town driving around in search of them but couldn't find any sign of either of them or the Impala so I pulled over to the side of the road and pulled out my phone and called Sam praying he'd pick up.
"Hello"
"Sam, thank god" I sighed closing my eyes in relief.
"Evie where are you, are you okay?"
"I don't know you tell me, I've been driving around this god damn town you boys are in after driving five hours just to get here after I got disconnected with a call with Dean"
"So you weren't with him?" he asked confusing me.
"No, now where the hell are you and where is Dean?"
"He's…don't worry I'm not it, listen go to the motel Blue Rose room 14-"
"Sam don't pull a Dean, tell me where he is?" I demanded cutting him off and heard him sigh.
"He's in trouble, I was shot at and so I called him and he used the 'Funky Town' code-"
"Someone had a gun on him" I whispered looking around anxiously again.
"Yeah and he gave me an address-"
"You know it's an ambush Sam" I told him as I quickly pulled a gun out of my bag keeping my eyes around me just in case.
"I know I kind of got warned" he replied.
"You had a vision!?" I exclaimed instantly panicking that he'd saw Dean dying again because he never had visions about himself.
"No a girl found me here, she's like me she has visions"
"You're serious?" I asked shocked as checking the gun to see if it was loaded but it wasn't so I grabbed a new clip and loaded it.
"Yeah" he agreed and I sighed running a hand over my face.
"Tell me where you are Sam"
"Evie-"
"Don't, tell me where you are!?" I snapped angrily and heard him sigh deeply.
"You know Dean's gonna kill me for this" he said then sighed again. "5637 Monroe Street, I'm almost there myself"
"I'll see you in ten minutes" I hung up before stashing the gun at my back in the waistline of my jeans covering it over with my shirt then got bback on the bike starting it again with a fresh piece of wire.
The drive over to the address Sam had given me I couldn't stop my mind raising with apologies, anger and regret since I never should have left Dean alone no matter how angry I was at him, his mind hadn't been in the game and that left him vulnerable. 'we're stronger as a family' those were Dean's words and they were true, we were stronger as a family but vulnerable apart because we are the only weaknesses to each other and anyone with eyes could see that which was quite unhealthy when you think about it.
I pulled up at the house right as I saw Sam heading in so I quickly hopped off and ran towards him with almost silent steps but he'd heard me and turned holding his finger up to his lips and I nodded stepping up behind him as we approached the front door looking through a window that was boarded up but there was gap between the planks and we saw Dean tied up to a chair with a gag in his mouth before we looked to the side and saw…Gordon!.
"That-" Sam quickly covered my mouth and I understood so I nodded that I'd stay quiet so he dropped his hand motioning that he was going to go around the back before pointing at me and the sign that said stay here to which I shook my head at and he glared at me mouthing 'bomb', my eyes widened in shock.
'Stay here' he mouthed at me again so I rolled my eyes and just nodded which he believed so he took of silently heading towards the back of the house as I watched from the window being mindful not to draw Gordon's attention before I looked around and got ready to follow Sam in when I heard an explosion as smoke filled the room they were in but Gordon didn't move despite my heart nearly stopping before I reminding myself that Sam knew about the bomb and just as I thought Sam would jump out another blast went off this one sending debris flying everywhere and that one made me pause not know if Sammy knew about the second blast.
I took one last look at Dean seeing tears in his eyes before I turned and ran towards the back looking for an alternate way in finding a window and slipped inside creeping inside turning a corner seeing Gordon on top of Sam and stupid impulse made me run forward and body slammed into him to knock him off but he recovered fast punching me in the gut sending me to the ground clutching my stomach in pain as I fought to stand hearing a commotion but my eyes were closed as I fought off the agony.
"Do it" I heard Gordon say and despite the pain I looked up seeing Sam standing over him with a gun pointed at Gordon's head. "Do it, show your brother the killer you really are Sammy" he added and Sam glared down at him before he turned the gun and used the hilt to smash it into Gordon's face knocking him out.
"It's Sam" Sam said and I would have smiled if I wasn't in pain. "Evie!" he suddenly exclaimed and ran over and stood me up but I flinched grabbing my stomach. "I told you to wait outside!" he wrapped his arm around my waist and another under my knees pulling me up into his arms as he went into the other room where Dean was who looked at us with a mix of relief and worry.
Sam set me down next to the chair before untying one of Dean's arms allowing him to untie the other while Sam got his feet and once Dean had untied his hands he pulled the gag from around his mouth and stood up checking Sam's face then looked down at me.
"Son of a-" he turned to head back to where we'd left Gordon.
"Dean, no" Sam called out stopping him.
"I let him live once, I won't make the same mistake twice" Dean argued.
"Trust me" Sam told him then nodded back. "Gordon's taken care of, come on we gotta get her out of here" he added looking down at me and Dean sighed especially when Sam grabbed his collar and pulled him towards me.
"Eve" he knelt down and cupped my cheek, I looked up raising my hand placing it over his. "Come on" he wrapped his arms around me the same way Sam had and pulled me up into his arms and they started to walk out.
"You boys know I can walk right" I told them as we were out of the house since this was ridiculous, I may have been hurting but I wasn't weak that I couldn't walk but I was just ignored. "Oh seriously put me down" I struggled and it was enough for Dean to finally relent but glared at me and I knew a scolding was about to come out of his mouth but then a gunshot went off and we ducked before running and every step was agony that I'd wished Dean was still carrying me but we ran with Gordon chasing after us shoot every couple of seconds.
"You call this taken care of!" Dean exclaimed right as I felt a searing pain through my leg but the adrenaline was high and I kept running jumping into the small ditch with the boys as Gordon continued shooting. "What the hell are we doing?" Dean asked since this wasn't exactly ideal.
"Just trust me on this alright" Sam told us before we heard screeching tires and the sounds of sirens right as the shots ceased so we peeked up and saw cops had arrived, Dean and I turned to Sam seeing a wicked smile on his face that he was proud of which meant he was responsible for them arriving, we shared a silent laugh as we looked back seeing Gordon drop to his knees with no choice and no way out of this one before he was handcuffed and hauled towards one of the cop cars watching further as a couple of cops went over to Gordon's car and pulled out his hunter weapon stash like they already knew about it.
"Anonymous tip" Sam whispered to us.
"You're a fine upstanding citizen Sam" Dean said but my focus dropped to my leg now that the adrenaline was gone and I felt the searing pain seeing blood seeping through my jeans through a cut through them…I was grazed by a bullet.
"Dean" I whispered looking up and he met my eyes before dropping to my leg.
"Shit" he cursed pulling out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and pressed it against it making me wince from the pressure as I looked down at it, I was just a graze but hurt like a mother f'n bitch.
"It's just a graze, I'm more worried about the blow to the stomach" Sam whispered towards Dean and I glared up at him.
"We need to get her to a hospital" Dean said and I rolled my eyes at them talking about me like I wasn't even here.
"We arent going to be able to go anywhere with the cops still here" Sam argued shaking his head.
"Uh hello I'm right here gentleman" I whisper yelled up at them and they turned to look at me at the exact same time. "It's a flesh wound and the baby is fine, let's just wait until the cops are gone then we get to the Impala and I can stitch myself up"
"Your going to the hospital" Dean whisper yelled at me and I rolled my eyes at him but didn't argue…for now at least.
It was at least twenty minutes before the cops finally left and the pain in my leg was starting to ache painfully as Dean wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me up so I had my weight pressed into him.
We'd found the Impala abandoned near the house meaning Gordon must have brought it here and Dean sat me in the back before pulling out his phone walking away and I ignored him further and I reached under the back seat for the first aid kit we kept under there and opened it seeing everything I needed to stitch up my own leg along with some alcohol we used for disinfecting wounds.
"Don't even think about it" Sam suddenly said and I looked up seeing him in the front looking at his phone not even looking at me.
"I'm losing blood Sam" I told him threading the needle completely ignoring him and he turned looking down at my leg especially when I pulled my jeans down wincing a little watching his eyes widen before he moved to stop me but I'd already poured some of the alcohol over my leg before I quickly pulled the needle through my skin crying out in pain which alerted Dean and he hung up running towards me.
"What the hell Evie!?" I ignored the both of them and continued threading the needle through my skin biting back a wince with every new stitch. "For the love of…let me do it" he grabbed the needle from me and finished up the work I'd started pouring more alcohol over it every few stitch that made me cry out in pain and curses…Jo was right this baby's first words were gonna be a curse word with the amount that slipped out of mine and Dean's mouths.
"I'm gonna need some serious pain meds" I sighed once he was done tightening the last stitch before tapping a gauze pad over it.
"Here" I looked up seeing Sam holding some Tylenol for me and I took them without even a drink of water.
"Where's your bag?" Dean asked.
"A little ways up the road, near the abandoned motor bike I rode here on"
"You what?" Dean asked and I saw him glaring at me again but he didn't say anything and helped me sit back and close the door before he got in and drove off finding the bike and retrieved my bag helping me into a pair of jean shorts before we were back on the road and the pain meds and everything else helped me fall asleep in the back with my head resting on the window.
Dean's POV
I saw Evie finally close her eyes succumbing to the tiredness she was no doubt in and I kept looking up watching her breathing every so often just to make sure she was okay, I couldn't believe she'd put herself in danger again and the first hospital I came across I was stopping no matter how much she argued I was getting her and the baby checked out.
"Hey Ava it's Sam again um…call me when you get this, just wanna make sure you got home okay, alright bye" I heard Sam say with his phone pressed against his ear again calling this girl for the fifth time.
"Everything alright?" I asked looking up and Eve again seeing her curl up even more, those shorts were probably not providing much warmth but jeans would rub against her wound which I was still pissed about that she'd persisted on stitching herself up, I know we'd done it a million times but it was different when it was her.
"Yeah I hope so" he replied.
"Well Gordon should be reaching for the soap for the next few years at least" I said hoping to lighten the mood in the car looking up at Evie again.
"Yeah" he agreed softly.
"Do me a favor, throw my jacket over her" I asked him quickly shedding off my jacket handing it to him and he turned laying it over her and she subconsciously moved snuggling into it making me smile.
"If they pin Scott Carey's murder on him and if he doesn't bust out" Sam added once he turned back.
"Dude you ever take off on me like that again…" I shot at him.
"What?" he asked smiling. "You'll kill me?"
"That's so not funny" I argued but he laughed before looking back at Evie.
"So why wasn't she with you?" he asked and I looked up at Eve again frowning.
"When I woke up and saw you'd taken off I said something to her in anger" I told him not really wanting to discuss this.
"What?" he pressed.
"Don't worry about it" I told him and could feel his eyes boring into me but he chose to let it go thank god.
"Alright so where too next then?" he asked.
"One word, Amsterdam" I told him with a smile.
"Dean-"
"Come on I hear the coffee shops don't even serve coffee"
"I'm not just gonna ditch the job" he argued
"Screw the job" I shot back at him. "Screw it man I'm sick of the job anyway we don't get paid, we don't get thanked, only thing we gets bad luck" I added looking up at Eve again out of instinct but she was still out cold.
"Well come on dude, you're a hunter I mean it's what you were meant to do"
"I wasn't meant to do anything, I don't believe in that destiny crap" I argued with him.
"You mean you don't believe in my destiny?" he asked.
"Well whatever" I sighed.
"Look Dean, I've tried running before I mean I ran all the way to California and look what happened, you can't run from this and you can't protect me" he replied and I looked over at him.
"I can try" I protested.
"Thanks for that" he suddenly said and I just nodded slightly, what did he expect he's my baby brother. "Look Dean, I'm gonna keep hunting I mean whatever is coming I'm taking it head-on so if you really want to watch my back then I guess you'll have to stick around even though you should be settling down with Evie"
"Bitch" I said instead of answering that.
"Jerk" he replied smiling.
"You dicks better shut up, I'm trying to sleep" Evie's voice suddenly said from the back making us jump out of our skin turning to face her seeing her eyes still closed but she had a smile on her face.
"So not cool babe" I told her and just heard a small laugh from her in return before I turned to Sam as he held up his phone again dialing a number into it. "You calling that Ava girl again, you sweet on her or something?"
"She's engaged Dean" he argued but like that changed anything.
"So?" I asked with a smile. "What's the point in saving the world if you can't get a little nookie once in a while?" I added looking up at the rearview seeing Evie's eyes open glaring at me but I just smirked turning back to Sam as he pulled the phone away from his ear. "What?" I asked seeing the worried look on his face.
"Just a feeling" he muttered. "How far is it to Peoria?" I looked between him and the road judging if he was serious but the look on his face told me he was.
"Two hours" I shrugged.
"Step on it" he replied so I pressed on the gas pedal.
Evie's POV
I'd woken up half way through their little talk so I'd heard enough to still be worried about them and Dean who I was still angry at but was pushing it aside for now since I couldn't exactly head out on my own right now with a busted up leg.
Dean drove us to Peoria and Sam lead us to this Ava girl's house which confused us but we didn't say anything and after knocking at least ten times with no answer Sam decided to pull out the lockpicks and break in.
"Hello?" he called out as we moved through the house each with a flashlight. "Is anybody home?" I looked down suddenly feeling a hand slip into mine and looked up seeing Dean step into pace with me, I glared at him but didn't pull my hand away for the simple fact I was limping but didn't want to stay in the car.
We walked through a door into what looked like a bedroom spotting blood on the ground first before all three of us moved our flashlights towards the bed and lit up a dude that was covered in blood laying still on the bed.
"Oh my god" Sam said as I frowned pushing down the nausea, ever since I got pregnant blood makes me sick…I mean it always unsettled me but I didn't feel the need to throw up every time I caught the sight of blood like I do now, Dean let go of my hand and walked over to the windowsill running his hand over it before running the substance that was on his fingers between them.
"Hey" he called making Sam turn. "Sulfur" he held it up with his light shining on it. "Demon's been here" I frowned since this was nuts, I turned towards Sam to see how he was taking this but saw him lean down and pick something up so I hobbled over to him and saw him holding an engagement ring in his hand with a shocked look on his face.
"Ava" he whispered to himself as I turned to Dean and shared a look not knowing or liking what this meant.
