Chapter 3: The Fault in Demons
Once morning came all the others began heading out of the house as I walked over to them all seeing them tense up while I laughed saying, "Well howdy nice to finally meet the rest of the Scooby-doo gang."
Dean pointed to each of them telling me their names but they seemed to want nothing to do with me as I groaned seeing Castiel walk over eyeing me for a moment before whispering something to Dean. Once they loaded up their vehicles I sat in the back seat with Castiel and couldn't help but laugh a little.
"What's so funny?" Sam asked while I shook my head saying, "Not every day you have an angel and demon in your back seat."
"We could put you in the trunk." Dean suggested as I instantly growled crossing my arms staring out the window making him laugh saying, "That's what I thought."
"So what's your story Evelyn?" I heard Sam say making me look at him replying, "What do you mean?"
He turned in his chair saying, "Well for starters how long have you been a demon, I can't imagine you've always been one, you seem well childish."
I snorted replying, "I'm many centuries-old kid but no I have not always been a demon."
"You used to be human?" Castiel said from my side giving a small sad smile saying, "Yep sure was, a good little church girl and all."
"What happened?" Dean asked as I looked outside frowning, "God stopped listening so I had to take matters into my own hands."
"You mean a demon's hands." Sam said while I shrugged replying, "Yea or that."
"What deal did you make?" Castiel asked as I shifted my eyes looking out the window again saying, "How about some music before we battle big old Lucy."
Dean must have sensed my need to not talk about my past any further as he put on some music but I still felt Castiel's charming eyes bore into the back of my head.
Finally, we reached the town seeing it was deserted of people but I could see Reapers everywhere making me frown, this wasn't going to end well. I stayed by the brothers while Castiel and the mother-daughter duo went another direction as I looked around.
"You know it would have been nice to have given me a weapon." I said whispering harshly as Sam looked at me saying, "You're a demon though."
"Sure but I'm also a demon in a defenseless girl body too. A gun or angel blade would be useful." I said seeing Dean turn to me saying, "You'll be fine."
I sighed looking down at my hip saying, "At least I have you, Mr. Sprinkles."
I saw both of them stop hearing Dean say, "Hold up… who the hell is Mr. Sprinkles?"
"Oh, you silly humans can't see him, the Hellhound I borrowed from Crowley of course." I said patting what they saw was an empty spot at my hip eyes widened.
"That's a big boy." Sam said making me laugh replying, "I like to keep big things around."
I saw them about to speak when Ellen and Jo came over to us saying, "We lost Castiel, something about following some reapers."
"So much for our angel advantage." Dean said as I said, "Now can I have a weapon?"
"Hello boys." We heard as I turned seeing the girl smirk towards us looking down seeing she had Hellhounds around her, yea I wanted a weapon now.
"Meg I thought we killed you?" Sam said as she laughed saying, "Fat chance, now come quietly father would like to see you or we can do this the hard way."
"Yea not happening we'll kill you first." Dean said glaring towards her seeing the Hellhounds about to pounce.
"I like this way anyway." She said as I aimed Dean's gun to her side telling him to shoot as I heard a whine from the hound saying, "Let's get out of the open."
We began running along the streets Mr. Sprinkles at my heels until I saw Dean fall down as I looked down saying, "Protect him."
Sprinkles ran towards him biting the other hellhound in the throat thrashing him around easily seeing Jo go to him but another hellhound was beside her.
"Hey look out girl." I yelled but it was too late as a hellhound jumped on her ripping at her stomach.
I put my hand up my eyes turning back as the hellhound on top of her began whimpering and crawl away which was enough time for me to grab her helping her into a hardware store with the others. The boys quickly began taking care of the doors and windows while I looked down at her wound frowning, this poor human wasn't going to make it.
"We're surrounded and I can't get a hold of Cas." Dean said angrily while I said softly, "Mr. Sprinkles is trying to pick up his scent than I'll find him."
He came over to Jo, Ellen and I looking at me with rage as he said, "You should have saved her."
I showed him my open hands saying, "I'm not exactly a miracle worker you know plus you're the one who didn't want to give me a weapon."
"You sure as hell stopped the hellhound without a weapon." As I frowned saying, "I stunned it so I could get to her jeez a girl tries to help and still gets yelled at."
"You're a freaking demon and now she's dying because you couldn't help her." Dean yelled in my face as I felt a pain hit deep into my black soul, he struck a chord.
She's dead, you couldn't help her so what good are you?
"Please stop fighting." Jo said weakly watching Dean lean down to her as she said, "She tried, even if she's a demon she tried… it's not her fault."
I frowned at this fragile human bleeding out beside me, just hearing her say it wasn't my fault was the kindest thing a human knowing what I am has said and it felt weird, but in a good way, I think.
She began to explain she was going to die anyway and the best thing to do was to make a bomb to go off and kill the remaining hellhounds sacrificing herself in the process. Her mother did what any mother would do in this situation, tell her she's crazy that she can't lose her but I could see in her eyes it was too late for her anyway.
We began gathering ingredients as I went by a window hearing Sprinkles bark at me as I nodded walking over to the others saying, "Mr. Sprinkles found Cassy, once we get out of here I will grab him and we will get to you, you better not miss your shot boys."
"Just be ready to get us out in case things get ugly." Dean said watching his eyes hardened making me bite my bottom lip nodding.
