Chapter 43: Floating On
I drove in the Impala dialing Bobby's number again finally hearing it go through, "Jeeze I'm a little busy Evelyn."
"Bobby it's the boys… they got hurt and are currently on their way to Leviathan Falls General." I said quickly hearing him curse giving me an address to find him at.
I pulled up to a house walking up to the door knocking loudly until a woman answered the door looking at me perplexed.
"Can I help you?" she asked while I peeked around her saying, "Is Bobby here?"
I saw her pull a shotgun out from behind her aiming at me saying, "What do you want with him?"
"Easy Jody she's with me." Bobby said appearing next to the door as I went to take a step in the door but stopped staring down.
"A little help Bobby boy?" I said pointing to the salt line as he broke the line seeing Jodi glare at him saying, "You brought a demon to my house?!"
"Calm down Jody she isn't like the other ones." Bobby said putting his hands up while she eyed me dangerously causing me to put my hands up defensively.
"We need to get to Sam and Dean before those Leviathans hurt them." I said while he nodded looking towards Jody saying, "Give us a moment Evelyn."
I looked towards Jody giving a small smile saying, "Pleasure meeting you… next time try not to aim a gun at my face."
I stood against the Impala with my arms crossed until Bobby came over to me saying, "We'll take my truck and I'll have Jody drop off the Impala somewhere safe."
I hoped in the passenger seat of his truck as he went over his plan with me, I would steal an ambulance and wait outside for Dean and Sam to get wheeled in. Stealing an ambulance was far too easy against humans simply by knocking him out and hiding him in a nearby bush it was the waiting for the others that unnerved me.
I tapped my finger on the steering wheel looking out the rearview mirror staring at the door until finally, Bobby came into view wheeling Sam out in a stretcher as I turned towards him saying, "Where is Dean?"
"He'll be here don't get your panties in a bunch." Bobby said while I gave him a grunt in response starting the engine just in time to see Dean wheel himself to the ambulance taking off.
I saw a doctor and a nurse stare at us while we left making me flip them the bird as we sped far away from that hell hole.
After driving to the destination Bobby gave me I helped get the boys inside learning this was an old hunter friend of theirs hideout. Bobby told me to stay put with them while he got rid of the ambulance and supplied us up because with Dean in his condition he wasn't going anywhere for a while.
Three agonizingly long weeks went by as I stared angrily at the soap opera Dean insisted on watching for the millionth time. Sam was mostly out of it seeming to hallucinate every once in a while but he refused to let it show, I only noticed it cause I didn't sleep like them.
Hearing a knock at the door I stood up peeking my eye through the peephole saying through the door, "Password?"
"Open the damn door igit." I heard making me turn towards Dean and Sam replying, "Good enough for me."
Once I opened the door Bobby placed some beers on the table catching us all up to speed on what's been happening. Since Sam, Dean and I were high up on the Leviathan list Bobby moved around much easier. So far all the hunters that encountered them said they bled black goo which made it easy to tell who was one and who wasn't, however, no one has yet to kill them which was the bad news.
"I'm going to my place and see if I can dig up any old tomes that may have survived the fire." Bobby said as I peeked out of the corner of my eye seeing Sam look off worried in an empty spot making me frown.
"Sam." I said snapping him out of his trance saying, "Why don't we go get some food, I can't stand this stupid soap opera anymore."
"Agreed." Sam said standing up while Dean yelled from the couch, "Get me a pie!"
Sam drove us to a nearby gas station as I walked in going for the pie as he went for a healthier option seeing the man working at the register eye us both wearily.
I walked over with multiple flavors of pie making Sam laugh saying, "Really?"
"I'm going to use them as leverage so he'll give me the damn remote for once. Gimpy needs to learn he's not a man child." I said while he laughed replying, "Fair enough."
Once we paid Sam stopped for a moment looking at a newspaper article seeing his facial features harden for a moment before paying for it.
"You okay?" I asked while he shook his head looking up at me saying, "Yea I'm fine just might be a case."
We got back in the car as I turned towards him saying, "So still getting visits from our lord and savior Satan?"
He turned to me quickly seeing the small smile on my lips replying, "Not as often but yes actually."
"I wish I could fix your noggin but I don't have the power." I said while he shrugged saying, "I'll survive… what about you?"
I felt my lip twitch saying, "What about me?"
"Look losing Castiel was hard on all of us but you… you guys meant a lot to one another and I can only imagine how you're handling it." Sam said quietly.
I frowned looking out the window saying, "I miss him so much it hurts but I know this pain won't go away… at least not completely."
"You learn to fight through it though, one day at a time." Sam said while I looked towards him replying, "Yea I know… at least I have you guys, I honestly don't know what I would do if you guys weren't around."
"Well, we don't plan on going anywhere so you're stuck with us for a while." He said giving me a reassuring smile while I smiled back saying, "Good, being around pretty man meat like you guys gives a girl a reason to wake up in the morning."
He began laughing while I smiled looking back out the window, I still missed him though.
Once back at the cabin I gave Dean one of the pies insisting that I take control of the remote which he begrudgingly let me.
Night fell as beside me on the couch Dean was snoring loudly while I pet his hair getting bored since there was nothing good left on television. Sam walked by not in pajamas anymore making me tilt my head as he gave me a small smile.
"I'm going out for a bit, let Dean know I was in the right state of mind when I left." He said while I gave him a thumb up saying, "You got it, Captain, call if you need anything not like I'm sleeping."
He nodded as I heard the Impala start listening to it drive away as Dean rolled to his side grabbing my arm making me sigh, it was gonna be a long night.
Morning came as I hummed lightly making some food for Dean as I heard him groan from the other room walking out holding a plate of eggs and bacon for him.
"Morning sleepyhead, I was wondering when you're beauty sleep would end… not like it did much." I said with a light smirk seeing him give me the stink eye but looked past me replying, "Where is Sam?"
"Oh he left last night, said he wanted to clear his head for a while, but don't worry he was in his right state of mind when he left." I said seeing him hobble forward replying, "Are you freaking kidding me you let him leave? We have to look for him now."
I put my hands up defensively saying, "Now listen here Deano your brother is a grown boy and can make his own decisions. Besides, you're in no condition to walk gimpy."
Dean grabbed his phone letting Bobby know but he told him what I did that he needs to let his leg heal and Sam will be fine. Unconvinced by what we were saying I heard a saw scurrying to the back room watching Dean begin to cut his cast off making me sigh knowing I couldn't stop him now.
