I stayed in the same spot for a long time, I mostly just sat on
the bed that Dean and I had been sharing and cried while sharpening
the first knife I had even been given. That makes me sound a little
crazy, but what can you do?
Anyways I was drifting off to sleep
lying on the hard mattress when I heard a window in the next room
shatter. Well that was
strange, I thought as I
went to investigate. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have headed
towards the dangerous sound without someone as backup, but at the
time I was heartbroken and was acting extremely irrationally.
I
stood outside the door, and listened for any more noise. I could hear
the crunching sound of shoes on broken glass.
So being the super
huntress I was, I opened the door to the room slowly, slipping
inside, I closed the door behind me and looked around. The moonlight
was spilling in through the broken window but there were still too
many shadows in the room for me to make out much of anything. There
is no way I imagined that,
I mentally reassured myself.
I shrugged and made to leave the
room when I heard that shoes on glass sound again and whipped around
to see a man standing in the middle of the room, staring at me.
"Hello Kaiden." He said in a voice that I immediately
recognized from both my memory and my dreams,
I moved towards the
door, this was so completely and totally unfair! I mean I had just
broken up with my boyfriend and now some bad shit was going down.
This was so my life, nothing could ever be nice and normal. If I
wasn't feeling a fight coming on, I would have pouted and pitied
myself,
"Brian, what the hell are you…" the words coming
out of my mouth trailed off when my big brother stepped more into the
centre of the room, I could see his face in more detail, the part
that stood out the most was in fact his yellow eyes. Oh
shit.
As terrified as
I normally would have been in this situation, I was shockingly calm.
I think I was still in a bad mood about Dean and I breaking up and
that whole deal. I mean seriously, what was with that?
Sorry, I
went way off topic. Back to what I was saying,
"So. That
yellow-eyed thing isn't exactly in this season." I said as I
edged towards the door. But the demon possessing my brother was too
quick for me and he grabbed my arms in a grip like iron. I knew it
was going to bruise for sure,
"I've been waiting for this for
a while Kaiden." He said with my brother's voice, although it
wasn't actually his voice, well not really, "I've been saving
you for the very last."
I was about to ask 'the very last of
what?' because I'm quizzical like that, when I was suddenly
lifted into the air and slammed against the opposite wall of which I
had been edging towards. Have you ever been thrown across a room into
a paneled wooden wall? Well if you haven't, then I hope you never
have to experience that, since it is not exactly the most comfortable
thing, I'd say it's pretty much the furthest thing from
comfortable.
I started pulling myself up off the ground, cursing
myself for leaving the knife I had been sharpening on the bed, and
reached for the knife that was usually strapped to my ankle, I
realized with a sinking heart that I had taken the knife off from
it's usual place when I was trying to get comfortable in the car.
Dammit!
I thought to myself. Like honestly, the only time I had used that
knife was to cut toast when a waitress had forgot to give me a
butter-knife.
The demon possessing my brother advanced on me
quickly and before I know it, was lifting me up by my throat. Out of
nowhere he placed me down and stepped back from me. Freaky eh?
So
the demon/my brother just stood there for a moment and looked at me.
Out of nowhere I felt like I had been hit by a train and then all of
a sudden I was walking towards the door and, believe me, it wasn't
actually me doing the walking. Contrary to popular belief, being
possessed by a psycho demon, yea it blows.
I walked into the main
room of the bar and it felt oddly like I was a spectator, a strange
feeling. Sam and Dean turned to me from where I they were sitting
around Sam's computer at a lone table. It was still fairly early so
there weren't any other people in the bar, for which I was
thankful.
I walked over to the bar where Jo was chopping limes
with a small carving knife, I calmly removed the knife from her hand
and walked to the table to where the Winchesters were sitting.
"Interesting to see you two again." I said in a voice that
wasn't even close to my own, "Although I had kind of hoped that
you would have died when that transport truck."
Sam and Dean
looked at me in absolute shock, I guess that they noticed the fact
that my eyes were yellow and my voice was completely different from
my usual one.
"What do you want?" Dean said standing up from
his chair quickly, anger flashing in his eyes,
"Oh don't
worry about your girlfriend." I chuckled, "She's in here
kicking and screaming. Oh but she's pissed at you."
Sam took
a step towards me when I brought the carving knife up to my jugular,
"Don't take another step towards me, or the girl dies."
"What do you want?" Dean repeated his question,
"I'm
here to finish something I started a long time ago." I took a seat
on one of the chairs, "It's more become a vengeful hobby, but
ever since you," I pointed the knife briefly at Dean, "decided to
kill my only children, it's been more of a sport to see how fast I
can kill everyone you've ever cared for. Remember Cassie?"
Dean
took a step towards me,
"What did you do to her?" he
demanded,
"Oh I didn't do anything," I said in an amused
tone, "but some vampires sure ate well that night."
I stood
up from the chair, and began slowly making small incisions across my
right arm. I sure was glad I couldn't feel anything then because
they were bleeding like hell and looked like they would hurt like a
mother.
Dean lunged for the knife,
"Don't you dare hurt
her or I swear to god."
I chuckled and dragged the knife across
my wrist, creating a particularly deep gouge,
"I'm going to
kill her Dean, and you're going to stand there and watch. And after
I'm done with her, I'm going to kill every person that you ever
cared for."
Sam quickly reached for their father's journal
which was on the table that they had vacated, I could feel the
demon's anger as I watched my hand whip the knife at him as hard as
I could and saw as it wedge it's self into his forearm. Oh I was
going to have to apologize to him a ton for that one.
I felt
water being dumped over myself and all of a sudden I could hear
myself screaming,
"Holy water you evil son of a bitch." Came
Ellen's voice from behind me, I turned to see her holding a bucket
full of water over my head,
Ellen continued to pour the holy
water over my head as Sam read a ritual I quickly recognized as an
exorcism. I felt my body begin to shake and then all of a sudden a
huge cloud of something that looked like smoke poured out of my mouth
and then the next thing I knew I was laying in a heap on the floor.
There was a moment while I heard everyone breathing hard until
Dean and Sam were helping me off the ground and onto a chair.
I
didn't know at the time, but I had a concussion so it was the
reason that my eyes were sliding closed and I head a throbbing
headache, this was due to the fact that I had been thrown across a
room. Serious bummer,
"Kaiden? Come on Kaiden, look at me."
I worked really hard to focus my eyes on Dean who was kneeling in
front of me, dabbing the wounds on my arm with a cloth.
"Get
Brian," I managed through my teeth that were clenched against the
pain of my wounds,
"Who?" I heard Sam question, and I saw him
putting pressure to the wound on his arm,
"Her brother." He
answered before I could open my mouth.
I explained that he was in
the bedroom, but didn't get a chance to tell them about what had
happened before because Sam cut me off and told me I needed rest,
"Sam," I stopped Dean briefly from leading me away to my
room,
"Yea?" he questioned,
"I'm really and truly
sorry about your arm."
Sam assured me it was okay since it
wasn't his shooting arm and Dean walked me into the room we had
been sitting in earlier and sat me on the bed,
"Are you sure
you're okay?" he questioned, "you've got some pretty nasty
bruises on your neck and above your eye."
I pushed his hands
away,
"Dean, I'll be fine."
He seemed to remember at
that moment the argument we had earlier and walked over to our bags
that were still sitting untouched in the corner of the room, he
picked them up and walked out of the room.
I ignored the protest
of my muscles that were already starting to become stiff and followed
him into the bar where I saw Sam standing with a bandage around his
hurt arm and his bag in the other hand,
"What's going on?"
I demanded, I usually would have been at least a little more
friendly, but I had been thrown across a room by a demon possessing
my long lost brother and then while that same demon was possessing me
I sliced my own arm open. Those kinds of things just don't make a
girl feel like giggling and smiling. And on top of that, where was my
brother? I asked Sam that question in a voice which was slightly more
personable than the one I had used to ask my previous question,
"He
wasn't in there." He said
My jaw dropped open,
"What do
you mean he wasn't there?" I said in a horrified voice,
"I
mean the only thing that was there when I went in was a broken window
and the glass from it all over the floor. Nothing else I swear."
Well that made no sense, my brother had clearly been unconscious
when the demon had possessed me, the guy was just a regular civilian
so possession takes a lot of you. I'd know, the first time I was
possessed it was by the spirit of this crazy old lady that my dad and
I had been trying to exorsise and I was exausted for days after. But
then again if I woke up laying on the floor of some strange place and
could hear a fight going on down the hall then I would book it too. I
decided to let the problem of my missing brother go and asked another
question, it seemed like I was full of them that night,
"Are we
going somewhere?"
Dean turned to face me completely and stared
me in the eye, "Kaiden the demon knew you were here. And the
chances are that he's going to try to kill you again. We need to
get out of here."
Ellen spoke from where she was watching Jo
mop up the holy water that she had dumped all over me,
"There's
no reason you guys couldn't stay here, we can keep you safe."
Sam gave her a small smile,
"Thanks for the offer, but it's
a family thing and there's no way we could put your that kind of
danger."
Jo put down the mop and walked over to Dean, placing a
hand on his arm, I almost punched her right there. He and I might
have been broken up, but I still really disliked her,
"Dean,
you can't leave. It's not safe." I suppressed a gag. Was this
girl for real?
Dean assured her that we could take care of
ourselves. We said goodbye and headed towards the car.
I was
opening the backseat door when Dean grabbed my good arm (thankfully)
and turned me around,
"Kaiden. I'm sorry. I was just feeling
stressed out and I took it out on you." Dean, apologizing for
something he did? What was I in an alternate universe?
I kissed
him and told him that it was okay. Man it was good to have him back
as my boyfriend. We were only broken up for a couple hours and it
sucked.
I slid into the backseat and I heard Sam chuckle,
"Guys,
why can't we ever do anything, even a vacation, without someone
being in mortal danger?"
I laughed. It was so true. It kind of
blew though. I shrugged off the thought and started reading one of
the books Sam was forcing me to read. I think he enjoyed having
someone around that read something other than comics.
