"You okay there, Lori? You seem a bit quieter than usual." Dean asked. He and Lorelai were walking out through the forest, hunting. Lorelai was thinking heavily.
"Am I the only one who didn't really know my mother? Everyone else seems to know her and I can hardly remember her." She asked. Dean sighed.
"Lori, how old were you when your mom passed away?" He asked.
"I was five."
"When my mom passed away, I was four. I remember the night well. There was a fire in Sam's nursery. He was still a baby. Dad was in there holding Sam and shouting for my mom who was stuck on the ceiling and had just burst into flames. He handed Sam to me and told me to run out the house as fast as I could. I took Sam and I ran. Dad came out, thank God, but mom didn't. Her body was turned into ash."
"That's terrible." Lorelai had tears in her eyes.
"I know exactly how you feel. I still remember her a bit, but not as well as I used to. It hurts, you know. Sam was way too young. He doesn't remember anything." Dean smiled at Lorelai sadly. It made her feel better that she wasn't the only one who didn't have that many memories of her mother. At least she didn't actually see her mom die. She was being looked after by her mother's best friend Heidi. She was also killed after. Lorelai saw the body. She knew exactly what Dean meant.
"It sucks that bad memories stay and good ones go." She said.
"Yeah, tell me about it." Dean looked round and signaled for Lorelai to be quiet. He had spotted a dear. He nodded at Lorelai, gelling her to go for it. She aimed, shot and missed. The startled dear ran. She tried again and hit the retreating dear who fell in pain. She ran over to it.
She looked into the deer's eyes. They were wide, watery. The pain and fear was obvious.
"Sorry Bambi." She said, and shot the dear in the head. Every time she did it, she felt bad but it was releasing her anger and would help her get revenge on her mother's murderers. Dean caught up with her.
"You ready to go back?" He asked her. She nodded. They walked back to the Impala.
Lorelai almost felt ready to call Bobby's place home. She was getting used to it now. She walked straight over to the sofa, sat down and put the TV on. Sam entered the living room.
"How's Kim?" Lorelai asked him.
"She's stable. She said to the doctors that she doesn't remember what happened."
"Good. I'm glad she's okay." Lorelai smiled at Sam and then her gaze went back to the TV. Dean poked his head round the door.
"Hey, I'm getting pie. What are the orders?" Sam rolled his eyes. His brother's obsession with pie never ceased to amaze him.
"I'll have chicken and mushroom." He replied.
"Sure you don't want a salad?" Dean replied with his signature smirk.
"Yeah, I'm sure. Jerk."
"Bitch. What do you want Lori?" Lorelai thought about it. She could never make up her mind when she needed to. She went with the first filling that came into mind.
"Steak and ale." She replied.
"Okay, I'll be back in 10." Dean slammed the front door shut. Sam went to the kitchen to clear some space on the table. Lorelai changed the channel to watch a rerun of House. She didn't realize it til now but she was starving.
Dean was back 10 minutes later with the pie. Everyone retreated to the table and ate. When she was full, Lorelai was all of a sudden very tired. She excused herself and went to bed...
When Lorelai woke up, Sam and Dean were nowhere to be found. She found Bobby fixing a car in the garage.
"Where's Sam and Dean?" She asked him.
"Emergency hunt. Something's happened to Castiel and demons are all over his vessel."
"You mean the angel?"
"Yeah." Lorelai had only heard of Castiel. She had never met him and she wasn't sure if she wanted to. From what she had heard, angel are dicks. She watched Bobby struggle with the car. When she becomes a hunter, she'll surely need to drive. She knew how but had never tried it.
"Bobby, would it be okay if I could borrow a car?"
"Yeah, sure. Find one that works. Don't crash it though. I'm guessing you don't have your license."
"You're right. I promise I wont crash it." Lorelai left the garage and looked at all the run-down cars.
She had been looking for a whole 20 minutes when she fell in love with a car. It was a Dodge Charger '69. The black paint on it was chipped and it had a few dents and no back windows but Lorelai was sure she could butter Dean up into helping her fix it up. Bobby had lost the keys to nearly all the cars here so he probably didn't have the keys to this one. Lorelai wrenched open the door and sat in it. She had to have this car. She put down the handbrake and got out of the car. She walked behind it and started pushing. It took a lot of effort but after 45 minutes of pushing she had got it outside the garage. Bobby looked at her.
"I want this one." She said. Bobby smiled at her. He had completely forgotten about that car.
"You're lucky. That's one of the few cars who's keys I have but it's going to take forever to fix that up."
"Well, then we better get started." Lorelai smiled at Bobby trying desperately to persuade him to help.
"Ah, hell. I'll go see if I have a spare engine for it. You might as well start repainting it. The paint is in the shed outside." He left the room to find a new engine. Lorelai was chuffed. She couldn't stop smiling.
"Don't worry baby." She said to the car. "We'll get you fixed up."
Lorelai had found a tin of black gloss paint and some masks. She took a mask, put it on and started painting. Bobby came back with an engine.
"You're very lucky." He said. "I found one for it. Not a bad one either." This was the happiest she'd been all week. Bobby's phone started ringing. He walked out and answered it. He came back in a few minutes later with a worried expression on bis face. He signaled for Lorelai to stop painting.
"Lorelai." He began. "When Sam and Dean come back, we will have to lock Sam up downstairs. We'll explain why when he's here. I'm just warning you. We haven't gone crazy, I promise. Don't tell him that we're going to do it though."
"Why? Can't you tell me now?"
"It's- It's complicated." Something was wrong. Lorelai could tell. Her happy mood rapidly dampened. All of a sudden she felt sick.
