Chapter 22
Boy, you better get your arses Back- Bobby answered the phone.
Bobby...
Bobby felt his blood run cold at the broken voice on the other end. Loosing is speech, he waited silently.
Hailey, she just vanished. There was a ray of light and-
Ash...
What? No, no Bobby, nothing. She just wasn't there anymore. Sam continued to explain the latest events; from the spell, to the strange light, to the blast, Hailey and finally the dozen demons dead on the floor with burnt out eyes.
The spell you did, only showed you where a strong supernatural power was you idjit. You could've walked into anything! And it has Hailey! Bobby yelled at his phone feeling the panic creep up his stomach. He pushed the feeling down and went into hunter mode. He had to find Hailey and panicking wouldn't help.
Alright, so burnt eyes... We never saw Lilith do that.
Bobby, that much power... It had to be.
She dusts people! Boy we need to have our heads on straight if we want to find my daughter. Now just stay there, look for any leads. You think you can handle that?! I'll make calls... Someone has to have heard of something like this.
Yeah...
I'll be in touch. Bobby said before hanging up on Sam.
Sam looked around the building till the sun started to rise. He made his way back into the building, covering his mouth with his sleeve before heading in the burnt flesh smelling place. He checked every body lying on the ground. To his relief, none of them was Hailey. He walked to a door in the back of the huge room, pushed the door open and was shocked to see every wall splattered in thick black goo. In the middle of the room laid a body. Sam walked to it and pulled the body on its back. He gasped as he fell on his butt at who the body was. He stared at it as a choke of sobs left his lips. He crawled back to the body, making sure he wasn't seeing things. It was Lilith. Even with her eyes burnt off like all the others, he recognised the demon that ripped his brother away from them. She was dead.
Sam ran out of the building and drove back to the motel with the beat up mustang. As he walked in the room, closing the door and leaning against it, his eyes scanned the room and he saw Hailey's bag on one of the beds.
Lilith was dead. The only thing strong enough to bring back Dean, was dead. It was over. His brother wasn't coming back. Hailey was gone. It was all, his fault. Sam pushed himself off the door and walked over to get himself a drink, stripping on the pulled out chair he grabbed it and smashed it against a wall, shattering it to pieces. He leaned on the small table where all their notes were lying on it. He pushed all the notes off the table violently, then the table went flying, Sam lost his balance and came crashing down, He sat back up, his whole body was shaking as he broke down. Sobbing and yelling out of anger and guilt. He truly was alone now. It was all his fault.
Two days had passed and Bobby was going crazy with worry. Sam had called him back a few hours after telling him he had lost Hailey to tell him Lilith was dead. Whatever took his daughter had taking down Lilith. Bobby was only worried more since. He dreamed of the day that bitch was out of their lives but knowing whatever did it had Hailey, made the news everything but good. Ellen Jo and Rufus had rushed to his place as soon as he told them what happened. He was sick of them watching his every move, like he was about to break. Ellen kept taking away his glass of bourbon, every glass he'd pour. Rufus would shove his own glass to him whenever she wasn't looking though.
Sam kept in touch, he was torturing every demon he fell upon, no one knew what took Lilith down but they all were petrified of it. Bobby was stern towards Sam, but always made sure he told him to be careful before hanging up. He loved Sam just as much as he loved Hailey, once they would find his daughter he would beat the crap out of Sam and then forgive him. Now... He had to find Hailey.
The gang sat around the kitchen table, notes and books where piled on the table, everyone had a nose in a book.
What if it's not a monster? Jo broke the day long silence.
I mean, it killed Lilith... and every demon is scared shitless of it? What if we're dealing with something good for once? She asked timidly as the other hunters looked at her.
Good? It took Hailey! And god knows what they're doing to her... Bobby growled.
We'll find her Bobby. Rufus spoke up.
Before Bobby could answer they all heard the front door bust open. Rufus and Ellen grabbed their guns and aimed at the doorway.
Dad? They all heard the familiar voice.
Bobby couldn't get to the door fast enough. There, at the door, was a bruised and dirty Hailey. Before anybody could say anything Bobby ran to his daughter and wrapped her tight in his arms. She looked at the others standing at the kitchen doorway as tears filled her eyes and she hugged him just as hard.
Where the hell, were you?! Bobby asked as he regained composure. Pulling away and making sure his daughter didn't have more than bruises on her face.
Demons grabbed me. Hailey simply explained.
But Sam said you just vanished with the blinding light. Ellen said before hugging Hailey.
Trick of the light I guess... all I remember is waking up tied to a chair...
Hailey... Lilith's- started Jo.
Dead. I know. The demons were freaking out. I waited for an opening, took it, killed two of them and ran like hell.
That's my girl! Bobby said proudly.
Hailey smiled sadly at Bobby and excused herself for a well deserved shower.
Bobby gladly said his goodbyes to everyone, happy to finally be alone with his daughter in his home. He knew they had a lot a work waiting for them, but for now he was just going to be happy Hailey was back. He called Sam and gave him the good news. Told him to come back home, to which Sam gladly accepted. Relieved Bobby seemed to forgive him. Sam couldn't wait to see Hailey.
Hailey walked down the stairs and found her dad drinking his bourbon on the couch. She watched him for a bit before taking a breath, gathering her courage and walked to the living room. Bobby's face lit up when he noticed his baby girl, but soon his face turned to worry as he noticed the expression on Hailey's face.
What's wrong? Bobby asked putting his glass down.
I can't do this anymore dad. She whispered, fighting tears.
It'll get better, I know it doesn't seem like it but...
I want out dad! Hailey blurted out and Bobby went silent. Surprised.
The monsters, the demons, the broken bones and death- I can't do it anymore. I quit. I want a life dad.
I never wanted any of this for you... Bobby said getting up and hugging her tightly.
I know dad... I know. Since Dean... This isn't the life I want anymore. I have to leave it.
Leave it?
Clean slate, do over whatever you call it. I want to get away, start fresh somewhere. I have too. Hailey fought the tears burning her eyes as she saw the hurt in Bobby's eyes. All he ever wished for was a normal life for his daughter but life hadn't made that possible for them.
With Lilith dead... I have to move on. Everything here is him, you know? I can't move on here.
I know sweetheart, I wish I was a better father-
You're a great father! Dad I don't regret the life you gave me. The family I had here. The love I found here. But it's over... I have to find a life for myself...
Bobby nodded and took Hailey in for another hug. Hailey let a few tears slip as she hugged back. She never felt so scared in her life but she had to do this. she pulled away from the hunter's embrace.
I'm almost all pack up. Since Sam has beauty, you think I can take the pick-up?
You're leaving now? Sam should be here in day at most-
I have to dad. I can't say goodbye to Sam, I can't... Hailey trailed off as her voice let go, it was hard enough telling Bobby she was leaving, she couldn't deal with Sam.
Of course you can take the pick-up. Bobby said seeing her fight too many emotions at once.
Hailey nodded and climb the stairs up to her room and finished packing her clothes. She stared at the framed picture of her and her father and took it, shoving it in her bag and carefully took the envelope, Dean's last letter to her and carefully put it in her purse. She took the bags down and Bobby helped her load the pick-up. He took out a bundle of cash and gave it to her.
You'll keep in touch right?
Of course.
I mean it you need anything. I'm just a call away.
I know, I love you dad.
Love you. Bobby said and wrapped his daughter in his arms a last time before she got into the red pick-up and drove away.
Hailey drove, thinking of the last two days that changed her life;
Hailey was pushed from the blow of white light, She closed her eyes and when she opened them she was in the familiar woods she dreamt about. She looked down and noticed she wasn't wearing the white gown, but her usual tank top leather jacket and ripped jeans.
Great, I passed out... She said to herself getting up from the ground.
You are truly here this time. The voice of her dream told her. But this time he was standing in front of her. She took a few steps back as she looked at the man in front of her. He was in a suite, tie and beige trench coat. She noticed the icy blue of his eyes; they seemed kind yet deadly powerful. Hailey took a defensive stand.
Sam- Hailey started demanding but the man cut her off.
Is fine... Lilith found out about... She had made a trap for the both of you. I-
Interfered. Hailey finished for him.
Against all orders. Yes. And I will have to pay the consequences for that now. But not before I talk to you.
If Sam's with Lilith- Hailey started to panic.
Lilith was smote. I took matters into my own hands, which I shouldn't have.
Smote? Who the hell are you? Hailey asked as she took another step back. The man took a proud pose before he spoke.
My name is Castiel, I am an angel of the Lord.
No shit... Hailey wasn't expecting that as an answer. She looked over him again, noticing the power this man radiated. She believed him.
You have to stop trying to bring back Dean. Any path in that direction will only bring death. You have to trust the faiths. You have to protect Dean's descendant. It shall be the most powerful warrior earth has ever seen. I did what I had to do to make sure no one knows about the righteous man's spawn. You have to make sure no one finds out.
Hailey put both hands up to stop the angel from continuing. Dean had a descendant. Someone out there had a child with the man she loved. They often joked about Dean having unknown children all over the states but... he really had a kid somewhere. Did he know?
Did he know? She heard herself ask.
I'm sorry, he did not. Castiel answered looking down.
Where's his kid? I mean... descendant.
The angel looked up at her confused. He walked over to her and laid a hand on Hailey's abdomen.
Right here.
Hailey eyes grew wide and she pushed his hand away.
No. No. No. No. I'm not... I'm not pregnant I...
But you are. I can hear it's heart beat, strong. Castiel eyes soften as he watched Hailey shake her head and tears fell from her eyes.
I haven't had a period since he left but that was just stress, it happens all the time. Stress. I mean It's been what four months since me and dean... ya know. She half said to herself and Castiel.
You are 15 weeks pregnant. The child was conceived in Sioux falls by a clift—
Ok! Just stop! Hailey yelled. Not comfortable that he knew that.
She paced as the angel watched her patiently.
No one must know about this child. I have made sure I am the only one who knows. But I can feel its power, which is how Lilith knew of its existence and tried to trap you both. I made sure every demon who knew was destroyed. But every demon or creature would be able to feel it. You have to stay away from them.
How? I'm a hunter.
You have to leave that life behind. They cannot know either.
You want me to leave my family? My dad?
It took more convincing and Castiel told her of a place he knew was evil free, it was warded by a clan back in 1700. He told her to raise the child there, a little town in Vancouver. To raise the child knowing of what went bump in the night and prepare the child to be a warrior against all evil. He would come to her when the time was right.
Hailey was brought back with a plan she worked with Castiel. They had made sure she looked like she had spent two days with demons and told her to pray to him if she needed. He would listen and if possible would come to her.
Hailey wiped the tears away as she drove in the pick-up. She felt bad lying at her father but she didn't have a choice. She rubbed her belly and smiled a bit.
I got you, baby...
