I wasn't awake. I knew this. I was dreaming about my home. my father in his hospital bed, dying. I stood there, unable to speak. he was my father and all I could do was stand there and cry. I didn't realize I was crying at first. then I felt the tear roll down my face. my dad just smiled at me, and closed his eyes...
and I woke up when the car stopped. I sat up in the back seat and stretched, my shoulder making a popping noise. dean and sam had already gotten out and began to unload the bags. I got out and grabbed mine from sam.
"you okay?" he asked me concerned.
"yeah why?" I replied, I was confused at why he would ask me that...
"you were crying..." sam said to me, almost a whisper.
I watched him as he walked away. I was crying? had dean noticed? god I hope not. I followed suit and dropped my bag in bobbies living room. bobby had disappeared up stairs and came back with three pillows and a few blankets. he handed them out. I took mine and looked around. I guessed I was on the floor.
"ya, a slumber party." dean remarked
"bite it, dean. I am to tired for your walking comedy act." I said sitting on the floor ans pulling my bag to me. he looked down at me and scoffed.
"what?" he asked me.
thankfully bobby intervened.
"Sara's right you igit. go to sleep, you can argue tomorrow." bobby practically demanded. I smiled up at him.
"goodnight bobby." I said to him. he reminded me of my father...
"goodnight kids." bobby said to all of us. I couldn't help but to laugh a little at how he called sam and dean kids. granted I wasn't to much younger then sam. me being twenty three, and sam twenty four. hell I could of passed as the winchester's baby sister, with my green eyes, and shoulder length brown hair. but being called a kid again... wow...
"so you gonna tell us more about you?" sam asked, I looked at him and nodded a little.
"well you already know my name, and that I have powers, I'm twenty three... I was a college student before I was brought here to help you... a trickster brought me from another dimension... he heard me praying for a life with more adventure, something more exciting. I guess he thought I was taking my normal demon and god free world for granted. so here I am, with the powers I wanted and a life I had prayed for. and don't even think about trying to talk me out of it, either of you." I said lying about the trickster bringing me here. I didn't think dean could handle god after all that they been through. both the winchester's stared at me. I knew they would try and send me back. but I wasn't going to let them. even if that meant hanging back at bobby's and tailing them with my white lighter lo jack.
" we weren't going to ask you to leave..." sam said
"yeah, we could use a magical medic in our line of work." dean smiled. he had a beer from the kitchen, one for his brother too, and me a bottle of water.
"for your throat." he said handing it to me. I guess he didn't realize I was completely healed now. but I took the water anyway.
"thanks." I replied and I looked down at my bag. I decided to see what I had in it. it was a decent sized duffel bag. first I pulled out my 9mm handgun. I put it next to me on the floor. I kept searching and found some of my books. and then four of my knives, one of which wasn't sheathed and I cut my finger on. I pulled back my hand and looked at the drop of blood forming.
"you alright?" dean asked
I nodded, and went back in. I pulled out my hunting knife that had cut me. it wasn't my last weapon. at the bottom of the bag, under all my clothes, I pulled out my favorite weapon... my daisy 260 handgun. I put her with my other and grabbed a tank top and a pair of shorts from my bag.
"wheres the bathroom?" I asked the boys
"upstairs, second door to your left." sam replied. I smiled and got up off the floor. I headed for the stairs, dean and sam staring after me.
"take a picture, boys, it last longer." I said to them, heading up the stairs.
"sam where's the camera." dean laughed to his brother. he was such an ass sometimes.
once I got upstairs I found the bathroom and changed my clothes. I was exhausted. the past day and a half were terrible. after everything that went down, I am surprised that I wasn't tore all to hell. but I didn't have a single scratch on me. I looked in the mirror and sighed. my hair was a tasseled mess around my face. my eyes were dark from being so tired. and my skin was pale, as if I hadn't seen the sunlight in days. I needed sleep... I gathered my things and went back down stairs. the brothers were already stretched out, sam on the floor and dean unburied a couch I didn't see before. I took my pillow and blanket and curled up by the end of the couch.
"good night guys..." I said softly.
"good night Sara."sam replied, dean grunted at me from under his pillow. soon after I heard snoring from both brothers, like trying to sleep in the same room as to young grizzly bears. I just lie there and waited till my eyes drifted shut. and then the dream started again, but this time, it was my brother. he was crazed... I only had seen him that way once before... the time he tried to kill me when I was fourteen. I stood there, my arms up trying to calm him...
"Alex, don't please..." I said to him. I was terrified. I remembered what had happened. my brother had stabbed me in the arm and stomach. I had barely made it to the hospital... but this was a dream... but I was still scared...
"sorry little sister, I cant let you tell on me... I cant let them send me back..." Alex growled at me. I had threatened to tell my parents that he had started hurting himself again. he needed help. the only problem was that he liked hurting others too. especially when they got in his way. and I had gotten in the way. it seemed like forever before I could find my strength to run. not that it would help any...
"come here Sara! now!" Alex practically roared at me as I ran to the nearest room I could find. I shut the door and put my back to it. I started screaming when I felt the door jolt against me.
"come out Sara!" Alex screamed hysterically.
"NOOO!!!" I screamed, and the what I thought was door shaking was actually sam shaking me... I sat up and hugged him, without realizing it. I was safe and sam held me, telling me it was okay. dean was staring at us worried about me. and of course bobby cam down th stairs holding his shotgun, ready for action...
"what happened?" he demanded looking at me. I just buried my face in Sam's chest. I couldn't find my voice again. I was still freaked out from my nightmare.
"she had a nightmare." sam stated blankly. I pushed sam away and looked at bobby.
"sorry I woke you guys..." I tried to say, but my voice was barely there. I got up and walked through the kitchen and out the back door. I just stood there letting the cool air of the morning wake me up. I was mortified by what happened. stupid nightmares... and what was worse was all three of the guys practically witnessed me having one... the door opened behind me and sam stood next to me. I was kinda freaked out by the way I embraced him. I never saw myself as a sam-fan, but I guess deep down I was.
"you okay?" he asked me.
"that your favorite question?" I retorted.
"I'm serious Sara, are you alright?" he asked again
"i am, I just have trouble controlling my nightmares." I replied more serious that time.
"i have the same problem with my visions."
"you won't have those problems to much longer... we just have to wait for Leo to get the stuff we need." I said smiling to him.
"the power stripping potion?" sam asked me, I knew he was curious about it.
"yeah, I figured it would work for you. I remember a half demon who wanted to be good and when his wife used the potion on him, it destroyed his demon half. it left him a complete, and full blooded human. if we're lucky it will do the same for you." I explained.
"but I'm not half demon." sam said defensively
"no but you have demon blood in you, which is almost as dangerous. I just want to help you sam."
I said turning to sam and smiling. he smiled back, I hope he understood me. I didn't want him to think he was evil... just as we were about to turn and go back inside Leo orbed in. he held a bag and a book.
"i got it, you ready to make the potion?" he asked handing me the stuff I needed.
"yeah, let's get cracking." I replied heading inside.
sam and Leo followed me in and I put the bag on the counter. I opened the book. it was a journal... pheobee's journal. I kept reading till I found the potion ingredient list. it was very confusing. I was terrible at that kind of stuff. even in my world.
"Leo, I think I'm gonna need some help. I don't recognize any of these herbs..." I said to him, handing him the book.
"I'll hand the things to you, and you mix the potion. you might want to busy yourself sam, this is going to take a little while."Leo said to me, then sam.
"alright." sam said before leaving the room.
two hours later I was pouring the potion into a scotch glass for sam.
"sam, get your butt in here!" I called to the other room. sam, dean, and bobby all came into the kitchen. I handed sam the glass.
"it might hurt, but I'm just going from what I saw the half demon go through. if it does it will only last a second." I explained.
sam nodded, looked to his brother, then to bobby, and he drank the potion. for a second there was no reaction. he just stood there. and then he hit his knees grabbing his stomach. dean went to his side and tried to pull him up. but sam stopped him. the pain had passed... I am just glad he didn't burst into flames the way Cole had.
"you okay Sammy?" dean asked
"yeah..." sam replied standing straight again. I stood back for a minute, not sure what his reaction was going to be. and then he grabbed me and hugged me. I could barely breath. I patted his back and laughed a little.
"thanks." he said in my ear.
"sam, you were never evil, and now you never will be." I replied in a whisper.
"we sure it worked?" bobby asked.
I stood back and looked at sam. he seemed like the same old sam. but I wanted to know to. I reached out my hand and tried to heal him. my hand glowed when I put it softly against his temple... but it didn't burn.
"he's all human now, or my hand would of burnt like before." I smiled.
"well thats good and all, but I have a hunt for you kids."
