The Stories of Jo Harvelle
Terminal Velocity Chapter 7
Castiel transported them to the Mustang. Inside they could hear laughter coming down the stairs. Sam ran up the stairs. Castiel was finishing up putting the potion together. When Sam got to the door it was standing wide open. The warlock was leaning up against the desk with Jo in his arms. The warlock broke the kiss he and Jo were sharing to turn and smile at Sam. Wondering when you were going to show. Sam's eyes flickered to Jo, she was entranced or something. She never even looked at him, she was staring at the warlock with that look on face. He had seen that look before, his stomach turned over. He remembered he had caught her staring at Dean a few times. Sam shook his head, pulling himself together, he scanned the room but did not see a dagger anywhere.
The warlock laughed and held up the dagger. He ran it across Jo's cheek, leaving a small about of blood trickling down her cheek. Jo wasn't even aware she was bleeding. Sam started to advance on him, but was stopped cold. The warlock whispered in Jo's ear, she immediately shrugged her jacket off. The warlock sneered, she'll do whatever I tell her to do. So if you do not want me to kill her slowly and painfully, you will stay where you are, he told Sam. Sam had no choice but to watch. Sam's fist's clenched. He concentrated on the dagger trying to make it come to him but his powers were gone.
Sam tried talking to Jo, telling her to fight it. Jo glanced at him, her eyes widened, looking up at the warlock, she asked Sammy why are there two of you. Then she smiled at him, I must be dreaming. She continued to gaze at the imposture. Sam's heart bet faster and his chest tightened she thought it was him. That look was for him, he was relieved and scared. The warlock whispered in her ear again, Jo giggled. Sam's was officially pissed now. He looked at the warlock, I'm going kill you one way or the other. Jo had went to go sat on the loveseat in the corner of the room watching their exchanges.
The warlock laughed whole heartily now and said well lover boy, come and get me. Sam moved as fast he could be the guy out moved him. Castiel appeared then, threw the potion on the warlock, Sam said the incantation. The warlock screamed, lashing out at Sam before he disappeared. Sam out of breath turned to see if Castiel was alright. To Sam's amazement Castiel looked fine. Sam raised his eyebrows, questioned Cas what happened. Castiel told him the warlock had cast a death spell to make the wounds get worse regardless, but now that the warlock was vanquished, the spell had dissipated.
Jo got off the couch holding her head and looking somewhat confused. She walked over to Cas and gave him a hug, I'm sorry I got you hurt. She planted a kiss on his cheek. Sam noticed the longing look in his Cass's eyes when Jo had hugged and kissed him. Castiel recovered and his look turned stoic again. Sam would keep an eye on the angel from now on, he knew that look and he didn't want Castiel having it for Jo. Dean's new best friend was turning more human ever day no scratch that Sam thought, more male.
Jo walked over to Sam reached up and ran the tips of her fingers over his lips. The she took him by the hand let's get out of here. Castiel had walked past them and picked up the dagger. He walked over to Jo, you should keep this, you may have use of it again. With a blink of the eye he was gone. Sam and Jo walked out and got into the truck. A heavy silence hung in the air. Jo drove Sam to pick up Bobbie's car. On the way back Jo thought about what had happened. She would have offered the dagger to Cas, but she thought he was powerful enough not to need it. And of course hadn't explained anything to her as usual. And Sam she had withheld information, she had a feeling some type of retribution would follow. They had only said a few words. He was upset and disappointed with her. She made a promised to herself she would tell Sam everything hold nothing back and then if he still wanted to be with her well she would be surprised.
Pulling up, she shut the engine off and went inside. She wanted a shower to scrub the memory of the warlock away and to brush her teeth. What a idiot, she let him put her under a spell, Jo thought. She heard come in and walk around. She finished her shower, brushed her teeth, and gargled with mouth wash. She felt better now. After dressing she walked out to stand in front of Sam, who was sitting on the couch watching her. He made eye contact with her and she couldn't look away. Jo's breath caught, his eyes were dark and sultry. Today he wore a white button down western shirt with faded blue jeans and boots. Jo unconsciously traced her tongue over her lips. A low growl escaped Sam's lips. Jo knelt down in front of him and reached up to brush his hair away from his eyes. She wondered if Sam knew the effect he had on her. He reached up and caught her hand. Sam's insides were shaking, he wanted her so bad he could barley think. He knew Jo was a virgin and didn't realize what havoc she was causing him. It took everything he had to stay on the couch when she walked in. Her hair was still damp from the shower, her body glistened. Sam wanted to imprint himself into every cell of her being so she would never forget him.
Dean's words came back to him, your putting her in danger just being around her. It was true, Lucifer would use any means possible to bend Sam to his will. He needed to give her a choice, she needed to know what she was getting into. Sam looked down. Then he told Jo there are some things you need to know Jo. Jo waited patiently as Sam explained everything, he even told her about he demon blood. Sam waited for her to run but instead she laid her head on his knee. He stroked her hair for along time, listened to her breathing. Jo traced circles on Sam's thigh for awhile then looked up at him. Sam it's a lot to take in but it doesn't change anything. Sam's face looked uncertain. Jo got up and asked my I, gesturing she wanted to sit in his lap. Sam nodded his head in approval. Jo sunk down onto Sam, straddling him. Jo remained as calm as she could. This was as close as she had ever been to a man. Electricity ran over her skin. Jo took a breath, a confessed everything she felt Sam would want to know. She confessed that been confused for so long over him. Ever since the night he was possessed and had attacked her. It had changed her, he started to speak put she put a finger on his lips to keep him quiet.
She explained that spending time with him trying to free Dean from hell, had changed her also. She had been so broken inside. But she was getting better she told him, every new moment with him was erasing the fracture lines in her heart. Sam sat so still, it frightened Jo but she continued. She told him everything that had happened with Cas and that he had a way of making her feel safe and cherished. Jo's lip trembled as she spoke. But I realize that you make me feel that way to. The night in the cabin, you held me so gently. You whispered everything would be alright. When your lips brushed mine I didn't know what to think. I felt I was betraying Dean somehow being in your arms, but I know now, it was not suppose to be him, it was you all long. You know I haven't been with anyone and the only relationships I've had were in school. Nothing serious, I was to busy trying to be a hunter. I just want you to know I 'm not trying to play any games. Castiel thinks I'm playing with you but I'm not. Sam I'm messed up, but I want to be with you and only you. Jo placed her hand on Sam's cheek and said "Sam I won't lie to you about anything ever again. Today I did because I wanted to keep you safe and partly it was my pride and I'm sorry." Jo removed her hand and started to get up from Sam's lap, she had a pit in her stomach, he was going to walk away, she just knew it. Saying everything aloud, she sounded horrible. Being that honest, she didn't know how he would take it. Especially about Castiel. She felt the undercurrent between Sam and Cas. Sam wasn't Castiel's biggest fan she was sure of it. She was trying her best not to cry to let him see that her heart was out there for him to love or crush.
