A/N: Okay! Here is where it starts getting confusing. The two chapters before were prologue chapters to give you sort of a history. Now we are going to start with "present day." Hayley is 15 now. This is not a retelling so most things will be different. Very AU. Jack and Mary are in the Apocalypse world but different things are happening to them. Jack and Hayley are good friends... Enjoy!
"Hayley!" I hear someone yell. I set my computer on my bed and walk over to the door.
"Yeah?!" I yell out the open door.
"Come here, please." The voice that I now realize is my brother Dean says. I roll my eyes but go anyway. When I get to the central area of the bunker, Dean gives me a look that I know all too well.
"No!" I whine. Its the look they give me everytime they go on a hunt. "How long?"
"A week, maybe." Sam chimes in.
"A week! Why can't I go!" I whine again.
"We have been over this a million times, Hayls. You're too young. You could get hurt." Dean tells me.
"Are we just forgetting that I took out a demon at 10 years old!?" I ask.
"That was just luck," Dean argues.
"You say that every time!" I yell.
"Hayley! You're not going and that's final!" Dean yells back.
"Fine!" I roll my eyes.
"We leave in a few minutes. Cas is going to stay with you. Don't lock yourself in your room pouting until he has to drag you out like usual, okay?" Sam tells me.
"Ugh!" I yell with a stomp of my foot. I don't care if I am being childish. This isn't fair! I run to my room and blast my music. I don't understand why they always make me stay home. They trained me themselves and I have my own demon blade. I grab a book off my shelf and sit down to read. After an hour of 'reading', I still don't know what book I grabbed. I am not paying attention. I wish Jack was here. He can calm me down every time. Thinking about my best friend always gets to me. I feel a tear fall down my cheek and wipe it away. Dean says to stay positive. He still has faith that we can save them. I find it hard to believe that they could be anything but dead at this point. Having hope is not something I am good at. I feel the tears start falling faster and bury my head in one of Jacks shirts that I snuck from his room last week. It gives me comfort when I get like this. It's not easy losing your best friend. I hear a knock at my door.
"H-hold on Cas!" I yell. I try to calm down and hide the fact that I have been crying before he comes in but he opens the door and walks in before I can.
"You okay?" He asks me. I start to nod but look down. He knows when I am lying. He wraps his arms around me as I cry into his shoulder. After what seems like forever, I start to calm down. I have that sick feeling in my stomach that you get when you cry too long but the tears have stopped. I am fairly certain that I look like a mess but I don't honestly care.
"Better?" He asks. And I nod. He starts to ask if I wanna talk about it but I shake my head before he can.
"How about we go and watch Harry Potter. You're favourite. I think Dean has some pie in the fridge from last night as well." Cas asks me. I nod and we go downstairs. Cas gets the pie and I get the movie started. During the previews that I have seen a million times, I grab all the pillows and blankets I can find and me and Cas get comfortable. Like always, I fall asleep by the end of the movie. This is our routine whenever he stays with me. I am woken by a loud noise from the other room. I get up and walk over to the doorway.
"Gabe?" I say with a yawn. I have been really close with Gabriel since he came back from the dead 4 years ago. Although technically he wasn't dead.
"Hey, sorry princess. Someone left a... wait what is this?" He asks picking up the thing he tripped over. I flip on the light and we see its a sword.
"Why is there a sword on the floor?" I ask.
"Sorry about that," Cas says from behind me. I yawn again.
"You should go to bed Hayls. I will make pancakes for breakfast tomorrow." Gabe says.
"With chocolate chips?" I say.
"And chocolate syrup." He says with a laugh. We both love chocolate. I give them both a hug, grab a glass of water and go to my room.
I change from my jeans and t-shirt into some pyjama pants and Jacks shirt that is on my bed. I only wear it on the particularly hard nights. I fall asleep almost as soon as my head hits the pillow.
In the morning, I wake to the smell of pancakes filling the room. I glance at my clock. 7:15. Ugh, it's early. I get up and get changed into a pair of jeans and a black tank top and go to the kitchen. The first thing I see is Gabriel at the stove, cooking and dancing along to the radio. Next, I notice Cas on the phone.
"She will be fine, Dean," Cas says into the phone. "Okay, I'll tell her. Bye."
"Was that Dean?" I ask, startling an unexpecting Gabe and receiving a nod from Castiel.
"He told me to tell you that they will be home earlier than expected. The case turned out easier than they thought." Cas tells me with a look that I can't quite read. That's when I realize that they told me nothing about the case. They always explain it to me. Weird. I grab a plate and some pancakes, add chocolate syrup and sit down.
After breakfast, I go back to my room and decide to practice fighting. Before he got trapped in the other world, Jack would practice with me but now I am on my own. I grabbed my demon blade and grip it tight. I fight with the air for a bit but give up after a while. Its no fun not having a partner. I wonder how much sooner my brothers will be back. Cas never said. At the exact moment, I hear Dean call my name.
Jack's POV
I am not exactly sure what time it is but I am sure it has been a couple hours since Mary left. I am worried because she was just supposed to be gone for a few minutes. A couple of minutes later, I decide to go look for her. I walk for a while before I find anything. I see what looks to be blood on the ground and signs of a struggle. This can't be good.
"Mary!" I yell into the air. I follow a trail of blood to a shack type building. Should I knock? No that is probably not a good idea. Instead, I walk over to a boarded up window and peek through a crack. I immediately see Mary. She isn't moving and I can't tell if she is breathing from here. Just as I am about to leave the window so I can go in the door, I hear a man's voice.
"How is killing her now going to get the Nephilim here?" It says.
"He will notice she is gone and come looking for her, duh." Another says. I have heard enough. I take a deep breath and burst the door open. A look of surprise comes over the faces of the two men but I take one out before they attack. Now I just have to deal with one. They seem human so this should be easy. I use my power to pin the man up in the air by his neck.
"What have you done to her!" I scream at him.
"She is dead, you little freak!" The guy attempts yelling but it's not so loud seeing as how I am crushing his throat.
"No!" I scream and his neck snaps. I can't help the guilt that starts to build up. I push it down and run over to Mary's lifeless body and check her pulse. I cant find it.
"Mary! No!" I scream at her dead body. Why do death and destruction follow me? What did I ever do to deserve this? Suddenly, I hear something behind me. I turn, about to kill whoever it is but who I see takes me by surprise.
"Sam? Dean? How did you..." I start but see that Dean has seen Mary. "I am so sorry. She is dead. They killed her."
"Mom!" Dean screams as tears start to fall. That's the last straw for me. I start crying. After a minute, I have to ask.
"How is Hayley? And how did you get here?" Sam looks at me with a look that says 'Long story'
"Hayley is fine. She misses you." He looks behind him. "Dean! Grab her and let's go. It's closing."
"Crap!" Dean yells as he picks up Mary's corpse. Sam shoves me through and next thing I know I am on the ground. My ground. Thank god.
A/N: Was it too confusing? I am happy to explain anything the best I can if you ask. Did you like it? Sorry it took so long. I want it to be good and editing takes a while. Thanks for reading this chapter. I hope it wont be too long before I post the next one. 3
