Chapter 14
"So Dean finally told you?" Sam asked as he sat down with Cora on her bed. He'd had about a week to recover from his injuries. He hadn't had a good long talk with his little sister in a while.
"Yes" she replied. "So it's all true? Monsters really are real?"
"Yeah" Sam answered. "I guess you understand why I didn't tell you about our work right away?"
"I don't want you to leave again Sam, you're just gonna end up getting hurt" she said.
"Hey, we're hunters, we're good at our job" Sam explained.
"You were gone for months Sam" Cora replied. "I thought you were dead."
Sam sighed as he looked into her green eyes and he was reminded so much of Dean. The shade was exactly the same as his.
"Look, I promised you I would come back, and here I am" he said. "Technically I didn't break my promise."
Cora pulled Bear and Angel close to her and she handed him the shaggy sheepdog.
"What's this for?" Sam asked as he held it.
"He'll keep you safe" she told him. "He's a watchdog remember?" Sam smiled a little bit and he instantly felt guilty. She had no idea how truly dangerous their job was, and he really had no way of knowing if he'd ever make it out in one piece.
"Won't Angel be lonely without him?" he asked.
"No, she understands. She wants you to be safe too" Cora replied. Sam smiled a little and then narrowed his eyes as he looked at her wrists.
"Sarah what's that?" he questioned.
"Dean kinda got mad a lot when you were gone" she said. "I guess I shouldn't have got in his way."
"Oh no, he's gone too far" Sam said as his anger bubbled to the surface and he stood.
"Please don't leave" Cora pleaded as she took his arm. "It…was an accident, it won't happen again."
"He should know better than that" Sam stated. "I told him to take it easy…"
"No I'm okay really" Cora covered. "I don't want to make him mad, please just don't yell at him."
"I'm gonna do more than yell at him" Sam replied coldly.
"Sam" she repeated. "Please, just don't."
Sam sighed as he looked into her puppy dog eyes and he felt himself melt.
"Okay" he said. "But you have to promise me you'll tell me if he ever gets rough like that again."
"I will, I promise" she agreed. Sam smiled at her and she climbed onto his lap as she hugged him. "I missed you Sammy."
"I missed you too" he replied as he hugged her back.
The next chapter will be when Cora is a teen! I felt inspired to keep this story going! Hope you guys enjoy! Sorry it was so short!
