Chapter 41
When Dean woke up, the first thing he noticed was the clear night sky. As he sat up he realised he was in a field. He looked around he saw Sam lying not too far from him. He tried getting up but a wave of dizziness brought him back down.
Sammy! Dean called out as he crawled to his brother.
He shook Sam and the later quickly came to. Sam pushed Dean away and sat up.
Where the hell are we? Sam asked taking in his surroundings.
As they looked around they could see a beam of light from afar. The light came from the ground right to the sky.
Hailey... Dean breathed before pushing himself up and started running clumsily towards the light.
Dean! Sam called trying to push himself up but his head was spinning so bad he couldn't move. He took a minute and closed his eyes waiting for the dizziness to pass. He heard moaning and searched with his eyes, trying to focus and saw Jo sitting up and holding her head.
Jo! You alright!? Sam called.
Yeah! I'm just... what happened? Jo asked trying to focus her own eyes on the form of Sam.
Hailey! Oh god, Hailey! The hunters heard Bobby cry out a couple of feet from them.
Bobby! You alright!? Sam called out.
We need to get to her! Hailey! Bobby yelled trying to get up himself.
Where's Dean? Jo asked trying to scan her surroundings.
He left running to the chapel... Sam said and finally managed to get on his feet.
He walked to Jo and helped her up. He wrapped an arm around her waist as her feet felt like Jell-O. Both of them limped towards Bobby. Sam gently put Jo back on the ground and helped Bobby sit up.
You alright? Sam asked the man.
Hailey! The hunter called again ignoring Sam's question he froze when he saw the light beam a few yards away.
Where's Castiel? Jo asked, he couldn't get in the chapel and everyone left him outside.
Cas! Sam yelled losing his balance a bit.
Castiel appeared next to him wearing a panic face.
What- What happened!?
We... we were too late... Jo said softly remembering Hailey's pale limp body. Bobby broke down in sobs then and Sam pulled him into a hug, feeling tears run down his face also.
Castiel took in a shaky breath and closed his eyes. He opened them wide in surprise and started looking around.
Hailey? Hailey! Castiel started calling and Bobby pushed Sam away looking up at the angel.
Castiel walked around a bit and stopped as he spotted bare feet sticking out the tall dried grass sticking out of the snow.
Hailey! He called before running to the body on the ground.
Sam grabbed Bobby and both pushed themselves up and tried running to Castiel. As they finally got there Bobby's legs gave out, bringing Sam back down with him.
Hailey's body was lying in the tall grass and snow, her clothes were ripped and she was covered in blood. Castiel fell on his knees next to her. He pushed a strand of caked bloody hair away from her face. He touched her forehead and gently pressed a hand on her huge cut near her navel and closed his eyes. A dim light formed and everyone watched, waiting, hoping. Jo came to them and grabbed Sam's hand tightly as they waited.
Castiel pulled his hands away and nothing happened. He looked at the three hunters, searching for his words.
Oh god no... Jo sobbed.
She's gone... Castiel announced.
No! Not Hailey... not here! Try again! Please help her You gotta help her! Bobby yelled at Castiel who stared at him with broken eyes.
Castiel looked back at Hailey's body. He silently prayed to his father and placed his hands exactly where they were before.
Come on Hailey, you have to come back... They need you... I need you. He whispered to her and closed his eyes and they saw the dim light appear once again. Castiel could sense his power draining. He knew he couldn't bring her back. What was dead usually stayed dead. Castiel hopped Hailey could be an exception to that rule, he prayed again to his father to save her. He was pushing all he had left into her trying to start up her heart again.
The three hunters watched desperately as Castiel started to shake and his nosed started to bleed. Just as the light flickered going dimmer and their hearts sunk, Castiel's head shot back and his mouth opened wide as a blinding light came out of him. They watched stunned as Hailey's body arched from the cold ground and the light was pouring out of her just like Castiel. The light expanded fast, throwing the hunters back and it was gone, blinding them all in the darkness. As their eyes adjusted to the dark Bobby crawled his way to his daughter. She was still covered in blood and she looked the same.
No! Bobby cried out and picked up her limp body into his arms. He rocked her back in forth as he sob.
No... was all Bobby could say as he held her tightly.
Sam pulled Jo's shaking body into his arms and she cried into his chest as he cried also into her hair. Hailey was gone. How were they supposed to go on without her. Just a few hours ago they were talking about baby names and now... It happened so fast none of them really understood what had happened.
Castiel, who was also thrown away from the blast, came back and put his hand on Bobby's shoulder.
Bobby? He tried getting his attention but he just kept rocking his daughter. He turned to Sam and Jo and looked confused.
Dean. Sam said gently pulling Jo away and looked were the light beam was but it was gone now. Only smoke could be seen.
I gotta find Dean, I have to tell him- Sam started to say in panic but was caught off by someone taking a surprised breath.
Hailey!? Bobby said as he felt her move in his arms and get warmer. He pulled away and placed her back onto the ground.
All of them came to her side as she fought to take breaths, her eyes wide as she looked at them all, trying desperately to take in air into her closed lungs. Castiel came to her other side and her eyes focused on him.
Hailey, breathe. From the nose, come on you can do it, breathe. Castiel told her gently as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
They saw her close her eyes and pull in a painful breath from her nose and then she started chocking. Castiel took a breath of relief and nodded at them and they all let go a breath they were all holding. Jo hugged Sam tightly, Hailey was alive.
Thought I lost you there for a second... Bobby said smiling through his tears.
Hailey looked at them with confused eyes, she looked up to Castiel and saw how sad he looked. That's when it all came back to her.
My... My baby. They took my baby! She said in a raw voice, barely audible.
She saw their faces as she told them. No one moved and they all looked away from her.
No! What are you doing we have to get him back! She said pushing Bobby off of her and tried standing up.
Easy, easy. Bobby said and both he and Castiel held her down.
What?! No dad I heard him. He's okay. I heard him cry! She told her father, begging him to listen to her and Bobby just looked away pain written all over his face.
She turned her face to Castiel.
I'm so sorry Hailey... Castiel said but looked at her straight in the eyes as he saw his words register in her brain.
Sorry..? No, Cas listen to me! I heard him cry! Why won't you all listen to me! We have to get him back. She begged them all.
We were too late Hailey, I'm so sorry. Castiel repeated.
No.. I- I heard him- Hailey sobbed out, starting to understand why no one was moving to get her son back.
No! My- my baby... No! She cried out and Bobby wrapped his arms around her sobbing frame.
I heard him... She mumbled remembering the sound of her child.
I know sweetheart, I'm so sorry... Bobby said as he resumed rocking as she cried out her pain loudly, wrapping her hands around her empty belly.
They all stood silently as Hailey cried and Bobby rocked her till she didn't have the energy anymore. She roughly pushed Bobby away and stood up, wobbling a bit.
We have to go back. She told them.
Hailey- Castiel wanted to say it wasn't a good idea.
He could still be there! I want... I have to see him!
Hailey, he's-
He's my son! I need to see him! She barked back at Sam, as tears fell freely down her cheeks, pointing her chest.
She turned to head where she saw smoke, took a few steps in that direction and froze, her blood left her face and everyone turned to look at what she was staring at.
Dean stood a couple of feet away from them, holding a bundle in his arms, mostly bloody sheets wrapping his child. He was white as a ghost and wore no expression as he stared at Hailey. He looked lost and broken. He fell onto his knees and Hailey ran to him, taking the bundle from him and gently putting it down between them, unwrapping the sheets.
They heard Hailey cry out and saw Dean pull her into his arms as he himself let a pained sob.
