A/N: Hello all, here it is, the final Chapter of Three Blind Mice. I just want to say thank you to all of you who've been following along with this story, it's been quite a pleasure writing them. Without further ado, here's it is. As always read and review!
Katie opened the door and the familiar jingle of the bell above rang through the diner. She stepped in and wasn't too surprised to find the place deserted. She walked in and took a seat at a booth close by the window. She picked up a menu and began looking it over.
"What can I get for you honey?" A southern voice said startling Katie a bit. Katie put the menu down and looked up at the waitress who seemed to appear from nowhere. "Would you like to try out apple pie, everyone seems to call it a slice a heaven"
"Sure" Katie replied. "A cup of milk to please" Katie handed the waitress the menu and watched as she disappeared behind the counter. Katie heard the familiar ring of the bell that hung on the door and turned to see the familiar man walk in. He spotted her immediately and walked over. "Hello" Katie said a bit shocked.
"Hey" the man replied. "So what am I doing here?"
"I guess we are supposed to talk" Katie said. "Have a seat" The man looked down at the seat before deciding to sit anyways. "Coffee?" But before Katie could call the waitress, she was there with a tray with Katie's pie and milk and steaming hot pot of coffee. The waitress sat down Katie's plate and milk before pouring Katie's "date" his coffee.
"If you need anything, just give a holler" the waitress said. Katie and the gentleman nodded before watching as the woman once again disappeared behind the counter.
"So what is it that we need to talk about?" the man asked turning back to Katie.
"Well" Katie sighed picking up her fork. "I'm guessing I should tell you a story" She gave the man a tight smile before taking a bite of her pie.
"A story?" the man asked. "You called me and told me to come all the way out here for a story?"
"Yes" Katie replied.
"Well it better be one hell of a story" the man said.
"It is" Katie replied. "Trust me"
"Well then go on" the man said before taking a sip of his coffee.
"Ok" Katie said. " Well about a year ago my husband died" the man's eyes snapped back up to Katie. "And that was maybe the single most painful thing I'd ever felt"
"Hello Sam. I've wanted to meet you for a very long time." Lilith says grabbing She grabs hold of his chin, forcing him to face her. Against his will she gives him a kiss and it sizzles from their lips meeting.
"Your lips are soft." Lilith says and Sam moves his head up and to the side, trying to get loose from her hand.
"Right, so you have me. Let my brother go." Sam replies looking down at her.
"Silly goose. You wanna bargain, you have to have something that I want. You don't." Lilith replied smiling.
"He might not but I do" Katie said looking at the demon. " You said it yourself I'm special. I was handpicked by the big man to protect them, that's gotta mean something. think of how much power you could have making me your vessel"
"Katie no!" Dean yelled.
"Think of how that balance of power would shift and no one would dare come after you" Katie replied. "Just let them go, just let them go and you can have me whatever I am to them"
"You would really do that, for them?" Lilith asked walking over to Katie. Katie looked between Sam and Dean and then back at the demon.
"Yes" Katie says. "Look this the best offer you will get in a very long time, this is your chance to finally let evil beat out good, so what do you say"
"I say, good already has no chance" Lilith says before opening the doors to the room moving the gofer dust that lay in front of it. "Sick'em boy" The hellhound growls before jumping and pulling Dean down as he screams.
"Dean!" Katie yells trying to pull herself from wall. She watches as the hellhound begins ripping at Dean like her dreams. " Stop, Please!" tears begin falling from her eyes and Lilith just laughs.
"No! Stop!" Sam yells at the hound starts attacking Dean's chest and he screams in pain and turns over to his stomach.
"STOP IT!" Sam yells.
"Lilith please don't do this!" Katie yelled and the hellhound slashes Dean's back and shoulder. " Stop this" Dean flips back over and the hellhound slashes his chest and blood gushes out. Suddenly a wind blows furiously out of nowhere. Lilith turns to Katie who's eyes are white, and is staring back at her. Katie slides down from the wall and walks over to hellhound and grabbing it. " Bad boy" she says before squeezing and black ooze drips from the canine. She drops it dead to the floor. She turns and looks at Lilith.
"Maybe I was wrong about you" Lilith says with a smile. " But did you have to kill my puppy" Katie remains quiet as she turns around and lifts a hand toward Sam releasing him from the wall. " Oh no you don't" Lilith says before raising a hand toward Sam and a white light comes from it, but the light is retracted. She puts her hand down and looks almost frightened as she looks down at Sam. Katie walks over and stand in front of her.
"Time to burn" Katie says, her glowing white eyes looking at Lilith. Katie reaches her hand out and Ruby's knife flies to her hand. As she pulls back about to stab, a black smoke shoots out of Ruby's body as Lilith escapes. When Lilith is finally gone the body collapses to the floor. Katie stares at the body for a moment before looking up and closing her eyes. When she opens them, they're normal again and her hand starts to shake as she turns around. She looks down and is met with Sam next to Dean's motionless body. She suddenly drops the knife and runs to kneel over him.
"Dean" Katie cries. She places her hands on the sides of his face. "C'mon wake up baby" Sam cries as her looks down at his dead brother. " No, this can't happen" Katie growls before looking up to the ceiling. " Do something!" she yells but all she gets is silence in return. She turns back and starts kissing Dean and hugging his lifeless body. " Please don't leave me" she whispers into his ear.
"I'm sorry" the man said reaching over and squeezing Katie's hand. She looked up at him and just wanted to cry, but she took a deep breath and continued.
"After that, I was pretty much done with the whole hunting thing" Katie said. "I mean without the one person in the world that I love more than anything, it was all pointless, so I ran away" Katie shook her head. "It's funny, because if you would've asked me, I would've told you that I wasn't, I wanted to think that I just quit, people quit and that's what I was doing, but it wasn't. I was running. Running away from my family and my friends, hell I was running away from me" Katie poked at the pie that sat in front of her. "So, I turned to the one thing that has never failed me, booze" Katie smiled. "But that only numbed the pain, it never really went away, plus the booze never got rid of the life size imaginary, or what I thought was imaginary version of my husband" the man looked over at her confused. "I know. But he was there, I saw him clear as day and he would talk to me, never really stopped talking"
"Time to wake up princess"
"Oh why are you still here?" Katie said pulling a pillow over her face.
"We've already gone over this" he said plopping on the bed next to her. "I'm in here" he poked Katie's pillow. "Only you know why I'm still here"
"You're here so they can finally lock me in that white padded room" Katie said getting out of bed. She yawned and stretched a bit before walking into the bathroom. She stared in the mirror for a second.
"Today is the day you know" he imaginary Dean said from behind her.
"You know the bathroom is where people go for privacy" Katie snaps.
"Why would you want privacy from me" he said wrapping his arms around her waist and sitting his head on her shoulder as they looked in the mirror. Katie just looked at him. She wanted this to be real so badly that it hurt.
"Please just go away" she said in whisper.
"I can't" he said shaking his head. "Not until you do what you have to do"
"What do I have to do?" Katie asked grabbing her tooth brush.
"What exactly did you have to do?" the man asked and Katie sat her fork down and looked up at him.
"I had to make the ultimate sacrifice" Katie replied. "I gave up my powers, in order to bring Dean back" Katie turned and looked out the window. "You know sometimes I think of that moment, the moment when I decided to just do it, bring him back and I wonder if it were the right decision, I mean messing with death, has always been dangerous"
"So you regret your decision?" the man asked and Katie turned to him and smiled.
"Do you know who I am" Katie replied. "Danger is my middle name, and I would never regret the decision I made" Katie took a sip of her milk.
"You have a little something" the man gestured to his lip.
"Oh, thanks" Katie said wiping off her milk mustache. " So, I brought him back and you'd think I'd go running into his arms and holding on tight and never letting him go, but I didn't" Katie sighed. "You have to understand that demons were still looking to get a piece of me, and without my powers that put anyone near me in danger, that meant putting Dean in danger, and I wasn't going to do that" Katie looked back down at her plate. "So I decided to stay hidden, but as you know what's kept in the dark will sooner or later find its way to the light, and my light came in the form of a very annoying Irishman"
"Why are you here?" Katie asked.
"I was looking to get a pint and low and behold I spot the infamous Katie being hit on by some rich twit" JT said. "So is this where you've been hiding"
"I haven't been hiding" Katie said grabbing the tray of beers and taking them to the table. She noticed Brent couldn't even look her in the eye. She turned and noticed a messy table and went to clean it off, JT not far behind. "You know I assumed that after I did a B&E on your brain that you weren't talking to me"
"Well love you know me, can never hold a grudge long. So why are you here?" JT asked.
"What do you mean?" Katie said placing bottles in the bin.
"I mean" JT grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. "You don't belong here, serving assholes and busting tables. You're a hunter, it's in your blood"
"I'm retired" Katie said before picking up the bin and heading to the trash cans in the dish room. JT still behind her. "You're not allowed back here" He just brushed the comment off.
"You can't retire from who you are" JT said.
"Well apparently you can" Katie said.
"Hey that trash isn't gonna empty itself" Frank said walking past Katie. "And who the hell are you. Customers aren't allowed back here"
"He's with me Frank" Katie said.
"Well whatever, take out the trash" He said walking away.
"Right away boss" Katie mumbled under her breath before grabbing the garbage can and pulling it out the back door.
"So this is what you want to do?" JT asked taking the bag from her hands and tossing it into the dumpster himself. "Being treated like crap, by people you could crush if you wanted to"
"No JT I just want to be left alone" Katie said walking over to the door but JT blocked her.
"You know he's back don't you?" JT asked and Katie didn't say anything. "Yeah if you thought he was still dead you'd be a whole lot meaner"
"Get out of my way JT" Katie snapped.
"Well if you know he's back, you must know he's looking for you" JT replied. "Searching high and low to find you" Katie looked up at him and then down at the ground.
"I can't-"Katie replied.
"You can't what?" JT asked and Katie looked back up at him.
"This is my life now JT, it's not pretty and it's not perfect but this is who I am" Katie yelled. "I can't go to him, because I'm not her anymore"
"JT wasn't hearing me" Katie said. "I never wanted to admit it but JT does know me, and he knew I didn't belong there, which is why in true JT fashion, he annoyed me until I gave in, well he annoyed before kidnapping me" the man quirked an eyebrow at her. "He was doing it because he cared"
"You have strange friends" the man said taking another sip of his coffee.
"You have no idea" Katie replied. "So skip ahead a bit, I saw Dean, I cried yada yada yada we make up and back to the happily married Winchesters, but that's not the point of this story" Katie stated. "We found out a demon named Lilith, the same Lilith who killed Dean, was on this mission to bring back none other than Lucifer" the man's eyes went wide. "I know, sort of hard to take in, but I need to tell you this, can I go on?" the man nodded a yes. "Ok, but to bring back old Lucy, she had to break these seals, there's like a couple hundred of them, but she old needed to break 66"
"So, you had to find and stop her?" the man added.
"Right, only problem was Lilith wasn't some run of the mill demon" Katie said. "She knew how to hide herself from all the right people" Katie pulled some hair behind her ears. "So, we were following breadcrumbs, yeah we were able to stop her a couple of times, but she still seemed one step ahead of us, but the Lilith problem was only one of many" Katie sighed. "I was dealing with finding out my adoptive mother, the only mother I've ever known not loving me, my sister dating a woman beating jackass, oh demons breaking into my mind trying to make me believe that my life was a figment of my imagination, plus Dean wanting to protect me at every moment of every day from everything" Katie shook her head. "We weren't focused on the real problem"
"Lilith?" the man asked.
"No" Katie sighed. "Sam. We found out he was hiding something, something big, and he wasn't telling so we decided to snoop and what we found was something we didn't want to find"
"Ok I'll tell you" Sam said. "But you have to promise to let me finish and to keep an open mind ok?" Katie nodded and Sam finally told her the truth that Ruby had been teaching him to control the abilities he got from Azazel. Sam tells her that's what he's been doing this whole time. Katie dropped her head and closed her eyes. "Look I'm helping people, you saw that man, he was possessed and I saved him" Katie opened her eyes and looked over at Sam. She could see it now. What she'd been so desperately trying not to see in his eyes. Katie stood up and turned away from him. She couldn't help the guilt she was feeling, she left him when they just needed each other. "Say something" Sam said. Katie turned to face him.
"Sam how-" Katie stopped she didn't know what to say, that wouldn't come out totally and completely harsh. "You know what you don't want me to say anything right now, let's just sit and wait for Dean to come back"
"You know I thought you of all people would understand" Sam said and Katie couldn't help the anger she was feeling.
"Oh really why is that Sam?" Katie asked.
"How is this any different from your powers?" Sam asked.
"Really Sam, Really that's your argument?" Katie asked and walked over to him. "You see my powers weren't given to me by some craze demon." Katie threw her hand in the air. "I get that you were upset and you missed your brother and you wanted to do something, but this Sam, demon powers Sam, how could that even make sense?"
"I'm helping people" Sam said standing to his feet. "Just because they were meant for evil doesn't mean I have to use them for evil. Don't you get it, I'm in control of them"
"And the bloody nose Sam?" Katie asked. "Is that part of the deal, I mean powers that are truly good don't hurt you"
"It's nothing" Sam said wiping his nose. "I'm still trying to figure it out that's all."
"Figure it out?" Katie repeated. "Sam don't you understand, this isn't right. These powers are only going to lead you to a dark place one that we may not be able to save you from"
"That won't happen" Sam said shaking his head. Katie clenched her fists before stalking out of the room slamming the door behind her.
"I guess to understand you need to know about the day when Sam was just a baby" Katie said. "One night this demon, Azazel, came into his nursery dropped a couple drops of his blood in Sam's mouth before turning around and killing him mother" the man grimaced at the story. "I know, pretty messed up, but we killed that bastard, only problem was that his blood was now inside of Sam giving him these powers he wanted to believe he could use for good"
"Why couldn't he?" the man asked. "He seemed like a good kid, good head on his shoulders, what could go wrong?"
"A lot" Katie replied. "Look, the one thing I've learned from my many years of hunting is that true evil can't be good, can't change to good, it's just evil, and that's what those powers were. They were the product of something evil and using them would only feed into it"
"Is that what happened?" the man asked and Katie nodded a yes.
"Yeah, those powers lead him to a dark place" Katie said. "But his little demon friend made sure he got there"
"Demon friend?" the man asked.
"That would be Ruby" Katie said. "I blame myself for that though, when Dean died and I went and ran away, Sam was all alone and vulnerable and Ruby wormed her way into his head. She got him to trust her, to think that she was changed and wanted to do good, and he believed her"
"Let me guess, big mistake?" The man said.
"Very big mistake" Kati replied. "But we'll get to that a little later, I kind of skipped over a couple of parts" Katie looked over in the window at the picture of the slice of pie with wings and smiled. "My story isn't complete without mentioning the angels" she turned back to the man who's head seemed like it was reeling from all this information. She wondered if this was too much too soon but she had to tell him. "Yes, angels are real as well"
"Of course they are" the man said, he looked down to his empty cup and was about to call the waitress when she was already there holding the coffee pot, pouring coffee in his cup. "Thanks"
"No problem" the waitress said before going back behind the counter into the kitchen.
"Well, it seemed angels were popping up everywhere" Katie said. "There was Castiel, he was the angel who brought Dean back, he's a very strange angel, you never know what he's thinking or what he's feeling, if he's feeling, but he seemed to help when we were in a tough spot" Katie smiled. "And then there is Urim, she isn't like Castiel one bit, she's one of the most human angels I've ever met, but she knows her stuff, she is the Angel of Light, which is why I've come to know her. I'd began developing new abilities that seemed to be tied to this strange light that would illuminate through my eyes. It really freaked me out, and Sam and Dean. I didn't learn much about the light until I met Urim, she told me I was give the powers by her father"
"When you say her father, you mean…?" the man asked and Katie nodded a yes.
"The one and only" Katie replied. "But she didn't tell me much, apparently I had to go on a journey of self-discovery to figure it out, which I hated because that meant more work for me" Katie sighed. "And then there's Zacariah, who has to be the most annoying, self richioeous, douchbag of and Angel I've ever me. He's a very radical angel, you know hyping everyone up for this ultimate war between good and evil and if you're not on his side you die" Katie shook her head. "That bastard actually killed other angels because they wouldn't join his side" Katie wrapped her hand around her cup. "Then he just had to come in our lives, the jackass actually sent us to an alternate universe, where Sam, Dean and I were complete strangers who had absolutely nothing to do with the supernatural."
"You're not going anywhere" Dean said and then he turned to Sam. "Neither are you until you tell who the hell are you?
"I'm not sure I know." Sam sighed and Katie looked between the two men. She could see their true selves were fighting to get out. She wish she could just tell them, but there's no way they would believe her.
"What the hell does that mean?" Dean asked.
"Sam Wesson. I started here three weeks ago." Sam replied. Katie snorted at the name Wesson, it was funny to her for some reason.
"All right." Dean said. " You cornered me in the elevator talking about ghosts. And now..."
"Now what?" Sam asked and there was a long pause.
"Now nothing." Dean said glancing over at Katie then back at Sam. " I, uh...so you started working here three weeks ago, huh?" Sam nods. "Yeah, me too" They both turn to Katie. "So, who are you?"
"I'm Katie" she replied.
"Ok, when did you start?" Dean asked.
"And how did you know my name that day by the break room?" Sam asked and Dean turned to him. "What?"
"It's just the first time I met her" Dean turned back to Katie. "She knew my name too"
"What do you want me to say here?" Katie asked.
"You tell us" Sam said. "Somethings going on here, and I get the feeling you know more than any of us do" Katie turned to Dean.
"What did you see in the bathroom?" Katie asked and Dean was silent. Sam turned to him. "Tell him what you saw."
"I don't know." Dean said. " I don't know what I saw."
"Wait." Sam said. " Are you saying that—did you see a ghost?"
"I was freaking out." Dean said shaking his head. "The guy penciled his damn neck."
"You did, didn't you? Okay, listen." Sam replied. "What if these suicides aren't suicides? I mean, what if they're something not natural?"
"So, what, ghosts are real? And they're responsible for all the dead bodies around here?" Dean asks. " Is that what you're telling me?" All three sit down. Katie watches the two hoping this could move along a little faster, because they seriously need to figure who this ghost is.
"I know it sounds crazy. But yes." Sam said. "That's what I'm telling you." Dean turned and looked at Katie.
"Why don't seem as shocked as the rest of us?" Dean asked.
"I- I am I just one of those conspiracy theorist who knew there was more to the world than just humans" Katie blurted out. She mentally kicked herself at how stupid that sounded. "Look it exists"
"Uh-huh." Dean nods " Based on what?"
"Instinct." Sam replies. Dean looks down shaking his head, still reluctant to believe and Katie watched. IT was harder for him to accept all of this then Sam. Maybe he really didn't want this life. He looks back up and glances between Sam and Katie.
"I've got the same instinct." Dean replied.
"Apparently he wanted them to stop complaining and finally accept that this was their life, hunting was it for them and once the figure that out, they got their memories back" Katie replied. "It's still funny, he didn't take my memories, I mean he tried and failed but in the end he knew he didn't have to"
"Why is that?" the man asked.
"Because no matter how much I heap and holler about this life, there was no way I could ever leave it" Katie said. "Not completely anyway. I hate to admit this, but he was right about one thing, in the end I could never just stop and let the bad side win, I couldn't just leave all those people defenseless"
"You sound disappointed" the man said and Katie turned to look out the window once more.
"Well, it's a really huge burden to carry" Katie replied. "To care about everyone so deeply and not know why, to fight for everyone and not know why you were doing it" she turned back to the man. "It just gets tiring after a while" Katie began figeting with her wedding ring. "After the big revelation, we found out that we're a book" Katie reached in her bag and pulled out a supernatural book and slid it over to the man. "A series of books based solely on me, Sam and Dean" the man picked up the book and flipped through the pages. "Apparently Mr. Carver Edlund, real name Chuck Shurley was a prophet, who's antenna is always focused on us, which is still kind of weird to think about, especially when using the bathroom, he's says he doesn't see that stuff, but I'm still iffy"
"A prophet?" The man asked.
"Yeah" Katie replied. "Apparently his books are gonna be used as the gospel of the Winchesters" Katie shook her head at the thought. "A lot happened during that hunt, I got a lot of insight from a little journey inside my head, We knew Lilith was going to show up for Sam, and Sam ended up being stupid. He wanted to use his newly gained powers to kill Lilith, can you believe that, he was no where near as strong as he thought he was, but he was hell bent on proving everyone wrong"
"Did he?" the man asked.
"No, we didn't risk it" Katie replied.
"What are you doing here?" Chuck asks frightened. "I didn't write this"
"Come on." Dean says grabbing the man. "You're coming with us, to the motel where Sam is"
"That's where Lilith is." Chuck replies trying to pull out of Dean's grasp.
"We know" Katie replies. "You're going to stop her"
"Are you insane? Lilith?" Chuck protested. " I know what she's capable of, Dean - I
wrote her."
"All right, listen to me. You have an archangel tethered to you,okay?" Dean says looking the man in the eyes. " All you got to do is show up and boom! - Lilith gets smoked."
"But I-I haven't seen that yet. Th-the story –"
"Chuck, you're the only shot that we've got left" Dean insisted.
"But...I'm just a writer." Chuck replies and Katie places her hand on Dean's who finally releases the man.
"Chuck look, this isn't just a story anymore, and you know that" Katie says. "Believe me, you're not just a writer, you are much, much more, right now we need you to get off your ass and fight, so are you coming?"
"I don't-" Chuck started.
"I was just asking out of courtesy" Katie replies grabbing both Dean and Chuck. "You're going" They're soon standing in the parking lot of the motel.
"I missed the whole light show, because the light wanted to take over and give me a little pep talk" Katie said. "It wanted me to take the leash and finally take control"
"What does that mean?" the man asked.
"That's just it, I had no idea" Katie replied. "And I wasn't doing anything until I did, or at least was put in a position where I had no other choice, which is what happened. But after my little dive in my brain there was also something else I found about Sam"
"What did he do this time?" the man asked.
"I found out that he'd been drinking demon blood" Katie replied. "It was to make his powers stronger, I'm guess but I didn't care what it did, I told him that I knew and that he was going to stop"
"Did he?" the man asked.
"I prayed he did, I really really wanted him to, but that doesn't really change anything now does it?" Katie asked. "No, but we hadn't figured he'd still been doing it, until much later, first we ran into old friends"
"Old friends?" the man asked. "Let me guess, not really friends though?"
"Right you are. Dean and I were kidnapped by a law firm you may have heard of Wolfram and Hart" Katie said.
"Yeah, I've head of them" the man replied.
"Well, I use to "work" for them for lack of a better word, but I escaped and they weren't that happy about it" Katie said. "They were looking for me the whole time, until one day they just did, now that I think of It, they may have had a little help" Katie looked over at the man. "They wanted what was up in this noggin of mine, which some say holds the key to everything, but I'm not sure and I wasn't gonna risk it by getting it into the wrong hands, so of course I refused."
"Of course" the man said taking a sip of his coffee. " But I'm sure that didn't make them happy"
"No, it didn't" Katie replied. "So they tortured me" the man dropped his cup and looked over at Katie. He'd like to think nothing much really surprised him, but this one story was proving him wrong. "Don't worry, I'm tougher than I look, I never uttered a word, though I did die toward the end there" the man looked over at her.
"Died?" the man asked. "Then how are you here, sitting in front of me?"
"Because I was put in a position where I had no other choice" Katie sighed. "I met the light again, this time in the form of a little girl, whatever the meaning behind that is, but that's when I realized that I had to do it. I had to embrace the light, it was the only way to save the world"
"So you embrace this light, and they bring you back" the man said shaking his head. "Seems like there would be more to it"
"There was" Katie replied. "There was a price, embracing the light meant giving up my life" Katie smiled. "Hey that rhymed"
"You seem awfully cherry about that" the man said.
"No, I try not to think about it" Katie replied. "If I do I'm pretty sure you'd find me in some deep, dark corner bawling" Katie looked out the window. "One day I'm going to have to give everything up, my family, my friends, Dean, I can't even imagine how I'll be able to give him up, but…" she took a deep breath, once again feeling tears threating to fall. "I have to, I doing this for the world, and that includes him"
"And me" the man said and Katie turned to him.
"And you" Katie replied. "I hoped that one day we'd get to know each other better, but I'm still not sure how long I got, and I would like-"
"To spend as much time with Dean as possible" the man replied. "Understandable, but why were you hoping to spend time with me?"
"Oh, we'll get to that part soon enough, now where was I?" Katie said. "Right so I embraced to light and tada!, I'm back, but at first I was a little different, but then light settled and I was back to me again. So, I had these new powers and everything seemed like it would be ice cream and gum drops, but as always something else had to go wrong"
"Well, yeah" the man replied.
"One night Dean, got a visit from Cas in a dream telling him that he needed him help" Katie said. "After a lot of searching we found that Cas was gone, leaving his vessel Jimmy Novak a very confused man" Katie took out her cell phone and looked at the time.
"Expecting a call?" the man asked.
"Yeah" Katie replied hoping Dean would call her soon. She placed the phone on the table and looked back up to the man. "So we find out that demons want Jimmy, you know vessel of an angel must have a lot in that old noggin, so we have to protect him, and his wife and daughter, there was fighting and screaming and in the end Cas came back to Jimmy, one would think, hey happy ending?"
"But it wasn't?" the man asked.
"No, once again Jimmy Novak had to leave his family who'd thought he was dead behind" Katie said. "And to top it off, our Dear old Sam couldn't resist sucking the blood right out of a demon, right in front of us"
"You're kidding?" the man asked.
"No, I wish I was" Katie said. "But it was true. I can't even explain the look in Dean's eyes, it was something I wanted to avoid happening by not telling him right away but I guess it was inevitable. Secrets don't really last too long among the three of us"
"So what did Dean do?" the man asked.
"What he thought was the only thing he could do" Katie replied. "He locked Sam away in Bobby's protected panic room, to detox, and Sam screaming mixed with his anger at me, caused him to blow up at me, and I left. I had to fix it"
"Why did you have to fix it?" the man asked. "It wasn't your fault"
"Some of it was, and no matter if none of was, Sam was still my brother and I was going to find a way to help him or at least try" Katie said. "But I ended up going on finally going on that journey of self- discovery. I was visited by three spirits whose sole purpose was to help me understand what it was that I had to do"
"Which was?" the man asked.
"Change the ending" Katie replied. "You see after my visits I felt Dean being hurt and when I showed up him and Sam were in this all out brawl, so I stopped them, Sam walked out with Ruby, and I left with Dean, and in that car ride back to Bobby's that's when it hit me. I had to change the ending"
"What does that mean?" the man asked.
"I had a vision of how this little story was going to play out, or at least what I thought would happen, for some reason I saw Sam and Dean and then Lilith dying, I assumed they both had killed her, but then I had another vision actually showing Sam killing Lilith with his powers"
"So, you had to change that?" the man asked.
"Exactly" Katie replied. " So, our main focus was finding Lilith, she'd gotten all the seals but two, we find where she would strike next we could stop her"
"Easier said than done" the man said.
"Well that's what were beginning to realize, which is why Bobby suggested calling Sam" Katie said. "Of, course he refused, after that fight he told Sam that if he walked out that door, never to come back, and Sam did"
"So what were you going to do?" the man asked.
"Well, I was thinking when this conversation between Bobby and Dean was going down when all of a sudden they did again" Katie said. "They kidnapped my husband for the second time, first time was to get him to torture a demon in to spilling the truth of who was killing angels, which in fact Mr. Zacaraiah was behind"
"And why'd they do it this time?" the man asked.
"This time, they wanted to keep him out of the way" Katie replied. "They wanted Sam to find Lilith and kill her"
"I still don't see why it would matter who kills her, as long as she ends up dead" the man replied.
"Well that's not the part I need to change, the part I wanted to change" Katie replied. "It was who killed her, it was the stopping the killing of her in the first place, you see killing Lilith was the final seal, and killing her would bring on this whole apacalyspe thing"
"So, killing Lilith would be bad?" the man asked.
"Yes it would" Katie replied. "I tried to get to Dean, but the bastards had found a way to block me again, I could easily have gotten through again, but I didn't need to"
"Why not?" the man asked.
"Because I knew he'd get away soon enough with the help of our friend Cas" Katie replied. "I needed to find Sam"
"Did you?" the man asked.
"I wasn't given a chance" Katie replied. "You see, my own little angel friend decided to kidnapped me"
"Urim?" the man asked. "Why"
Katie had been standing in Bobby living room, moment after Dean had disappeared. She told Bobby where he was and he seemed angry that she wasn't hell bent on trying to get him back before storming out. Katie was about to go after him to explain when suddenly she was standing in the in front of the house again. It was the house she always dreamed of having with Dean. It was big and white, and there was a picket fence surrounding it. And there, up on the porch was the swing. She closed her eyes and sight.
"Urim" Katie breathed. "Why am I here?"
"I'm sorry" Urim replied from behind Katie. "I just really like it here, it's really nice"
"For you maybe, but for me, its torture" Katie turned to face the angel. "I'm never going to have this"
"Why not?" Urim replied.
"The light said, I was going to have to give up my life" Katie replied. "So, I don't see how I can have any of this"
"Oh, sweetie there's something you should know about that light of your" Urim said. "It's very over dramatic, none of us really know what the true price of your decision will be"
"That's not that comforting" Katie replied.
"It should be" Urim replied. "It means there's a chance that you get to keep it all"
"Oh" Katie said. "Really?"
"It's possible?" Urim said. "But back to why I brought you here"
"Yeah, why did you do that, I needed to find Sam and stop this whole thing before he kills Lilith" Katie replied.
"That's just it" Urim said. "We can't let you do that"
"What do you mean you can't let me do that?" Katie asked. "Killing Lilith brings back Lucifer, I thought you'd be hell bent against that"
"We're not for bringing back Lucifer, but for cleansing this world" Urim replied. "Look I know Zachariah can be a bit of a pain, but he was right on this one, this fight has been long time coming, and stopping it now, will not stop it from happening in the future. It's time this fight took place, and prove that evil is no match for good"
"Okay" Katie said. "So, you're saying that this has to happen so you can shout hey evil we're better than you and oh humans you're our bitch too"
"You don't understand" Urim said shaking her head.
"No, you don't understand Urim" Katie snapped. "You're playing with the lives of innocent people, you could've stopped this couldn't you?" Katie looked up at the angle. "Azazel all those years ago, Sam dying, and Dean making the deal, you could've stopped it all and yet you didn't because you wanted this to happen"
"This must happen" Urim replied.
"You know Urim you seemed different from them" Katie said shaking her head. "You actually restored a my faith that not all angels were assholes, but in this moment I'm going back to my original opinion of you guys" Katie took a step toward the angel. "Take your fascist bullshit and shove it up your ass, I'm going to stop this, all of it and the wellbeing of the world will take precedence over your needs to win"
"You can't stop this" Urim replied. "We won't let you, why do you think I've been investing so much time with you, you're supposed to fight with us, side by side."
"Urim, I've been told that I would be saving the world not destroying it" Katie snapped.
"This is saving the world" Urim snapped. "Cleansing this world, and taking a stand against evil"
"How do you think this will go over with ole Lucy?" Katie asked. "I doubt your brother will be willing to help you out with this"
"You think we don't have a plan for him?" Urim asked. "Everything has been thought out carefully, we can't lose"
"There is one this you didn't take into account Urim" Katie said before taking another step in the angel's face. "Me. I will not let this happen" Urim dropped her head and shook it.
"You're wrong. Yes we wanted you to help us" Urim replied. "But we knew there was a chance you wouldn't, which is why we won't give you a choice"
"What are you talking about?" Katie asked.
"You already said yes dear" Urim replied. "Why do you think we let that law firm take you"
"You let them…" Katie said. "You knew what they were doing to me and you just let them"
"It was the only way, we could get you to say yes" Urim replied.
"By manipulating me" Katie said. "I can't believe this"
"Believe it or not, you will have to put up your end of the bargain" Urim replied. Katie closed her eyes and then a smile crept up on her face.
"You're right" Katie said opening her eyes. "I made a promise and I'm going to go through with it"
"You are?" Urim asked confused at Katie's sudden willingness.
"Yes, I promise to embrace my destiny in order to save the world" Katie replied. "And that's what I'm going to do, protect the world against demons, Lucifer, and all of you, at least until daddy comes and punishes you all"
"Oh, my father knew this was coming" Urim snapped. "And he knows it's what we have to do, which is why he hasn't stopped up"
"Or maybe he knows it's wrong and he's watching and waiting" Katie replied. "He wants to see who steps back and finally takes a stand"
"Wishful thinking" Urim replied. "You want to believe you know our father, but you have no idea"
"Whatever Urim, I really must go" Katie replied. "I have to go" she took a step back when she noticed an old, very new looking car pull up in front of the house. She watched as a family stepped out. They were wearing very dated clothing, from like the 50's. Katie turned to Urim. "Where are we?"
"Uh, 1956 I believe" Urim replied.
"Why are we in 1956?" Katie asked.
"Because time is a tricky thing" Urim replied. "Time in here, moves quite slower than time out there" Katie grabbed the woman by the collar and jerk her closer.
"Send me back" Katie snapped.
"I can't do that" Urim replied. "You can't stop this from happening"
"Watch me" Katie said before releasing the angel and furiously searching the area. She'd be lucky if there was a door, with a nine on it but she wasn't.
"It's no use" Urim said. "It's already began" Katie closed her eyes and brought her hands to the side of her head.
"C'mon Katie" she thought. "You can do this" Suddenly her eyes flicked opened and as intended they were glowing a bright white. Urim smiled and walked over.
"I'm glad you're here" Urim said. "She was starting to get annoying" Katie smiled.
"You don't know, do you?" Katie asked. "Embracing the light doesn't mean letting the light, take over" Katie took a step toward the angel, whose smile fell. "It means I have the leash, I'm in control"
"That wasn't, how…?" Urim asked.
"Maybe there's a reason daddy doesn't kiss and tell" Katie replied before disappearing. She appeared in what looked like some old church.
"Princess" she turned to see Dean. She closed her eyes and when they opened they were normal again.
"Hey babe" Katie replied before turning to the door. "They in there?"
"Yep" Dean replied.
"Well, I guess we should be too" Katie said taking a step. Dean grabbed her hand and brought her back to him and smashed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss. She brought her hands to his chest and kissed him back. They soon broke apart, both panting, trying to catch their breath. "What was that for?" Katie said leaning her forehead against her husbands.
"You know, just in case" Dean replied.
"Just in case, Ok" Katie said before grabbing Dean's hand and turning back to the door. She lifted her hand to open the door, but nothing happens.
"What's wrong?" Dean asks.
"I don't know" Katie replied. "It's not working"
"We have to get in there" Dean says releasing her hand to see if he can push the door open. Katie looked at her hand before raising it again, but still nothing happened.
"She was right about one thing" Katie heard a voice say. She turned to see a man, she'd never seen before. He was tall, with curly blonde hair, but his eyes were familiar. "And so were you"
"Who are you?" Katie asked, she glanced over at Dean, who hadn't noticed the stranger. She turned back to the man and he smiled.
"I'm hurt, you know my children, yet I'm still hard to recognize" the man replied and Katie shook her head.
"Well your children are always in my face, so it's hard not to know them" Katie replied. "Why can't I stop this again"
"Like you said, I'm watching and waiting" He replied before disappearing. Katie was confused and turned just as Dean had gotten the doors open.
"You're too late. " Ruby says glancing down at Lilith's dead body.
"I don't care." Dean replies pulling out the knife and walks toward her. Katie finally steps in the room and watches as Sam grabs Ruby from behind as Dean stabs her. She couldn't help the twinge of jealousy, two of her most hated demons and she didn't get a chance to kill either of them. The lights flicker out for Ruby and she falls to the floor dead. Katie walks over to Lilith's body and notices how the demon's blood seems to be spilling into the pattern on the floor.
"I'm sorry." Sam says looking between his brother and Katie. Katie's eyes go wide at the brilliant white light that shoots out from the center of the pattern. She feels tears swell up in her eyes. She thought she was supposed to stop this. Every fiber in her body told her that she would stop this, but she hadn't.
"We have to get out of here" Dean says as the church begins trembling. He grabs Katie's shoulder but her feet aren't moving as her eyes seem glued to the light. Sam walks up beside them as they all stare into the light.
"He's coming baby" Katie replied. There is another flash of light and they all are thrown to the floor. Katie closes her eyes at the pain, when suddenly she feels a hot wind blow over her. She opens her eyes to see the sun shining brightly on her. She stands to her feet, and looks around at the desert. Lots of sand and cactus, but standing right in front of her is a diner.
"You're probably wondering what you're doing in the middle of new Mexico?" Katie turned to see Him again. "Well there's something you need to do"
"Where's Dean and Sam?" Katie asked.
"They're fine" He replied. "Now, back to this" he pointed to the diner. "Go, in have a seat and meet your "date"
"Date?" Katie asked.
"You'll see" he replied.
"Which is when I walked in here" Katie said. "And then you did the same"
"So you didn't really change anything?" the man asked.
"Well, not what I intended" Katie replied. "But I now know the truth, Which means we get the upper hand, plus I know papa bear is still out there, and he knows"
"Well that is one hell of a story" the man said looking down at his coffee. "May need something stronger than this later"
"Who you telling" Katie replied. "I'm still curious, how did you come about getting here?"
"A kid" the man replied. "Said that it was very important that I be here, at this specific time"
"And you just believed him?" Katie replied. "Doesn't seem like something you would do"
"I know, but there was something about this kid" he replied. "I just had a gut feeling"
"Well of course" Katie replied. "I have those too"
"I'm still curios as to why me?" he asked. "Why am I here?"
"I think He wanted me to tell you the truth" Katie replied. "About how you're a part of this"
"Me?" he asked.
"Yeah" Katie replied with a tight smile. "Twenty Seven years ago, you met my mother, and you both were in a very bad place, she'd just left my brother's father, and you'd just lost your family, so you found solace with each other" Katie took a deep breath. "Leroy Jethro Gibbs, I'm your daughter"
A/N: So there was the big reveal. I know I said in the previous chapter that, I was finally going to reveal Katie's part in all of this, but it didn't fit, sorry, but I promise( cross my heart) it will be in the next story. So who guessed that Gibbs was her father? How is he going to react? How's her mother going to react now that he knows the truth? Why does Gibbs have to know, now?... I guess we will find all of this out in my Fourth story( Title still under construction in my brain). Hopefully I can get started on this soon.
