The last chapter. I'm sorry if there's some major grammar errors. I did most of this on my phone.
Chapter Two
Dean, Sam and Bobby finished placing the last large piece of wood on the pyre. It was a bright sunny day in the middle of November the temperature was at a soothing 70° and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Nobody who stretched and panted was enjoying the day. It was a cruel day for a hunters send off, for a fellow hunter and a six year old kid. "This isn't right," Dean snapped tossing his jacket on the hood of his Impala. "I mean I know we've seen all kinds of people dying but why now? Why Stan and Alex?"
Sam and Bobby shrugged. They knew that Dean's guess was as good as their's. "Just promise you're not goin' to be hard on yer sister. She's going to be distant in the comin' days." Bobby commanded softly Sam and Dean nodded silently. A low rumbling sound came from down a small trail as a at least forty year old truck pulled to a stop next to the Impala. Inside Christina quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks before stepping out. Dean and Sam were there wrapping their arms around her and she wrapped her arms around them.
"Come on." She whispered dropping her arms and walked to the back and hesitate. Her body was shaking as she pulled the tailgate down. Sam and Dean grabbed the one closest as it was the longest. Bobby moved silently for an older gentleman, but before he watched as Christina pulled the small wrapped up form and offered silently to take it. Christina shook her head before walking quickly to the pyre just as Sam and Dean were stepping back.
Sam, Dean and Bobby all stood back while Christina payed the body of her young son on top of the wood pyre and stayed there to say her last goodbyes, before she pulled out a necklace chain and on Stan's chest let it drop. Sam and Dean saw that she had placed on the metal chain, was two rings. One was the proposal ring she had gotten a week before their last Christmas together before Dean's death a year ago. The second was the promise ring she had ever since Stan and Christina decided to try a long distance relationship.
They watched as her shoulders shook. She was loosing every chance she had in controlling her emotions. She shook her head and turned to stand next to her brothers her head low. She closed her eyes and flinched when the sound of the fire starting to consume the wood, fabric and bodies. Her eyes lifted and for thirty long minutes she stood there watching before she turned, got back into the truck and drove away.
~Something Blue~
Dean stopped the impala a few feet away from a large lake, where he'd been with Bobby once or twice when he was younger and would go fishing. He saw the truck his sister drove and saw her standing on the shoreline tossing stones into the water. He felt sorry for he, and he knew she needed someone. Even before he found out she was his sister he felt responsible for her. He felt like he needed to be her friend and shoulder to cry on even if she didn't needed a cry but just to talk. He noticed it a lot since he'd been back, she would go to him for advice even if Sam was there more often.
Dean sighed and climbed out of his car and walked slowly towards the lake. The sun was beginning to set behind the distant rolling hills. "You know it gets cold here." He said just as he was within reach of her. She flinched slightly as she wasn't expecting anyone to be there. "You've been here all this time?"
Christina nodded her eyes glossy with tears but, no tears were falling. "This place is surprisingly calming." She said and Dean watched as she held a perfect skipping stone and began to skip it across the slightly choppy water. "It's also a great place to think and cry since there's not a soul in sight for at least three miles."
Dean nodded. He had his fair share of this place when he was younger and was tired of their dad leaving them at Bobby's while he hunted. "You know this place isn't officially named. But I used to call it-"
"Winchester's lake?" Christina asked and Dean nodded. "Yeah, I heard Bobby call this place that. Because the real name is a lot longer and harder to say." Christina laughed and picked up a very flat stone, square off and sent it skipping seven times across the lake before it too joined the others at the bottom of the lake bed. "So you came here to give me a fake history lesson or you here to see how I'm doing?"
"Yeah, I came to see how you're holdin' up." Christina forced a chuckle before tossing a stone into the water then slowly turned and look at her older brother.
"I'm doing surprisingly well. Despite the fact I just lost Stan and. . ." She cleared her throat and quickly bent down to pick up a flat stone before standing back up. ". . . Alex. I'm doing okay. Now my main point is to catch the bitch that took them away from me. From us."
"Yeah Sam is doing that actually and he sent to get you." Dean's face looked relaxed as he bent and picked up a rock himself. "Ruby told us it was Lilith that took them because she thought we were there." Christina kept her eyes focused on the water even though she had already thrown her stone into the water. "Ruby tried to save Stan and Alex but the flames were 'Devil Flames' because it burns hotter, and quicker then regular flames do. In fact it's the same flames that took mom and Jess."
"Dean, do you believe that Ruby is telling you the truth?" Christina asked and Dean shrugged. "Because I have a reason to believe that she's lying because she knows that I will know the truth. She looked surprised that Alex survived long enough and if she truly cared for them why wasn't she with us at the hospital?"
"Christy, I don't know everything. I don't even believe her. I was just seeing if you did, because I don't." Christina turned and was looking at Dean's face his green eyes calm and protective. "But I was hoping you'd tell me if you think-"
"Ruby did this somehow to push me and you away. To try and trick us into killing Lilith for some reason?" Dean nodded slowly. "I'll humor her for a while. But I will kill her the next time she's down with Sam. Even though I could care less about his emotions he is my brother. I'll make sure if she does cross him. . . I'll use that knife and send it through her heart cavity. Because I know she doesn't have one."
"Not if I get it done first." Dean said with a smile. "Come on. Bobby's making chicken for dinner tonight." He wrapped his sister in a hug and held her for and second before letting her go.
"Dean, I'm glad you're back." Christina said walking to the truck while held moved to the Impala. "Because if you weren't I'd be alone right now and most likely drive the truck in the lake."
"I'm glad I'm back too, because you and swimming, you look like a duck who can't float." Christina glared and tossed a small pebble at him hitting Dean in the shoulder before they climbed inside their cars. Dean backing up while Christina pulled forward and made a wide u-turn. However when she reached the road just behind Dean, a thought entered her mind. If Dean hadn't come back to life. She would have married Stan, ended hunting and ten years down the road be in Hell right next to him. Something flipped in her stomach. Her deal. What is to happen because her deal was broken by Ruby? What was she going to do? She didn't want to ask her brothers because they will yell at her. But she needed answers.
"Your contract is null and void," Castiel's voice entered her mind. "So do not fear. Your life is not in danger of going to Hell."
