The Adventures of Cash

Cash's POV

It had been a few months since that nice lady found me and helped me. Her and her friends gave me a new home and I couldn't be happier. The tall guy was also very nice to me. I could tell that we would get along the moment we met. The guy in the coat was stiff but I liked him too. I don't think he's been around a lot of dogs before but I think he likes me. The grumpy one is a different story. He's a good person but he's kind of hard to read sometimes so I don't know what to think of him. I later learned their names were Sarah, Sam, Cas, and Dean, respectively.

…

"Sarah! Come get your dog out of the kitchen." Dean yelled. I don't know why he wanted me to leave, I was just curious as to what he was making and if he might share.

"Dean," Sarah walked in and looked at the Dean. "He's not terrorizing the place so what's wrong?"

"I don't like the ways he's looking at me and he doesn't seem to get the memo that I don't share food."

"Whatever Dean... Let's go Cash." I followed her after she grabbed the sandwich off of the Dean's plate. That obviously made him even grumpier than he usually was but she didn't care. Once we got in her room, we snuggled up in her bed and she shared the sandwich with me.

I heard the door squeak open and saw light pour in slowly. I raised my head to see that it was Sam.

"Come here Cash." I got off the bed and walked slowly to the door.

I saw that that he had had shorts on instead of his usual pair of jeans, which meant that we were going on a run. I diverged from our path towards the door to a box in the library. I grabbed my tennis ball and met Sam by the stairs.

Sam and I ran through the nearby forest. Occasionally he would throw my ball and I would happily chase after it. This wasn't a regular thing but we would do this when we wouldn't have to go on one of our long car rides and fight monsters.

After we got back and I was fed, I walked towards the part of the bunker where we all slept. I sat outside of Dean's door hoping Sarah or Sam would open it for me. Sam was the one to come first and once the door was open, I crept in and got up on the bed. I laid on his legs and fell asleep.

I was woken up by someone shifting before scratching my ears. I opened my eyes to see Dean with a small smile on his face.

"Just don't tell Sarah or Sam, okay?" I leaned into his touched silently asking him to not stop.

"Too late for that." I looked to see Sarah standing in the doorway. "I knew you liked him."

"Whatever." The Dean said with the grumpy look back on his face. Thankfully he didn't push me off and kept scratching my ears. I had to get down though when Sarah called me when she was leaving the room.

The next few weeks were a mix of long car rides, chasing after monsters, and resting in the cars or random hotels. Right now, we were finishing up a long car ride and stopping at a new hotel. Sarah let me out of the truck to let me run around for a bit and do my thing.

She called me back over to the truck right before we went inside. I took the handles of a bag in my mouth that she handed me that had a few toys, treats, and anything else a dog would ever need.

"So what's the plan?" Sam asked.

"The usual? We'll start at the police station then separate and check out people that are connected with the vics?" Sarah answered. She squatted in front of me and petted my head. "Sorry Cash. You can't go on this run. Probably the next one though."

The three changed and left me alone in the room. I took this as an opportunity to get some rest. When we were on these adventures, we rarely got time to do so. I was woken up by the sound of someone trying to open the door. I became very alert in case someone was trying to cause harm to my new family. Thankfully, it was just the boys when the door opened.

"When are you going to tell her? You've had a thing for her for years." Sam said. I didn't know what they were talking about but I had a feeling it involved Sarah. Sam sat on the bed next to me and started to pet me before continuing his conversation with Dean. "I'm almost certain that she has the same feelings for you."

"I'm a grunt, Sam." Dean said with a sigh. "I only see myself going out with a gun in my hand. She… She can get out and find some guy to give her an apple pie life."

"Dean... You know she doesn't want that. She was raised to hunt just like us. She's said that she can't see herself sitting at home cooking and cleaning with her 2.5 kids, waiting for her husband to come home from work. No one can ever see her do that. Bobby couldn't either and he was one of the people that were trying to get her out of hunting when her mom died."

"Doesn't mean it can't happen."

The conversation ended when Sarah walked in through the door and flopped down on the empty bed. I hopped down and laid on top of her to give her some comfort since she looked down.

"So, what'd you find out?" Sam asked.

"Jack Shit. Why do you always send to the houses that have families with children? Or cats."

"Because you know how to behave around kids. Dean has a hard time filtering what he says and not scaring them."

"I guess you're right." Sarah said with shrug.

"You guys know that I'm standing right here." Dean said flatly.

"But you didn't deny it." Sarah said with a chuckle.

"I'll give you that." He said before turning back to the paper he had pulled out in order to continue researching the case.

"Alright… Get off Cash. You're crushing me." Sarah said chuckling. I did as I was told and she got up to go change out of her dress clothes. When she walked into the bathroom, I looked over to see Sam give Dean an "I told you so" look.

"God, I hate rugarus." Sarah said trudging back to her truck. Once I hopped in, she smiled, gave me a treat and scratched my ears. "Thanks for helping me, Cash. It if weren't for you bringing my flamethrower to me when it got knocked out of my hands…."

"Sarah!" She turned from me to look at the boys. "We'll finish up here and meet you at the hotel."

"Sounds good." She hopped in with me and made our way back.

Once we made it, Sarah went to shower while I stretched out one of the beds chewing on my favorite rope bone. The boys came back in right as Sarah walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her hair.

"Lovin' the new look?" Dean said with a snicker.

"Shut up, Dean. I left my hairbrush out here and didn't feel like showing off my unruly shower hair." She said with a fake smile before turning to go back to the bathroom.

"We brought back food." Sam said placing a few bags on the table. "I hope a double cheeseburger with bacon is okay."

"You know me so well Sammy! I get all tingly when you take control like that." Sarah said from the bathroom. She soon walked out and grabbed her burger. Of course she gave me a piece too.

"You two are going to have a heart attack someday." Sam said while laughing and stabbing a piece of lettuce with his fork.

"Shut up, Sammy." Dean and Sarah said at the same time, both with their mouths full.

After a long chain of endless monster hunt, we finally had some down time at the bunker. Dean had started to leave his door open a bit at night and I took that as a cue to sleep in there too. It's fun to have more than one human to sleep with. Plus, it helps me know that their safe in the middle of the night. Though, I really don't have to worry about these three.

Anyway, I was in Dean's room asleep when he suddenly shot up and ran out of the room. I was startled and followed him to see if there was any danger. I found him moving from the library, the computer room, to his room and back. I just laid down in the library because I was tired just from watching him run back and forth. At some point, he didn't come back for a while so I went and slept with Sarah for a while.

It didn't feel like too long until Sam came and got me to take me outside and feed me. Sam didn't take me on his run today and that was fine by me. I was still tired from all the hunts we had recently gone on.

When I was done, I wandered into the library to find Dean passed out at one of the tables and a strange box thing was on the table next to his head. I walked over and pawed at his leg trying to wake him up.

"Ugh… Hey Cash." Dean groaned before releasing a big yawn and stretching his arms over his head. "Want to help me out bud?"

I didn't know what to do because once again he started flitting about. I just sat next to the table where I found him. Eventually he came back and used the box thing to play loud music. Sarah finally heard it and came down to see Dean and me in the library.

…

"Finally!" I heard Sam shout from the doorway of the library, signaling he had gotten back from his run that I didn't go on. "It only took you guys 10 years!"

"Shut it Sammy." Dean said annoyed.

It was never a dull moment with these guys but I'm glad Sarah helped me that day. I live a life that most dogs aren't a part of but I like hunting monsters. These guys are my family now and I will always protect them.

Thanks y'all for reading.
So…. I originally had this posted as a short story all of its own. However, I decided to repost it here to serve as kind of an announcement.
To those who have enjoyed this story and have asked for a sequel, I have an early Christmas/Holiday gift for y'all. A sequel is coming!
The only thing is that it will probably be more of a New Year's gift because I still have to put my ideas into words and with finals and the holidays coming up, I will probably not be able upload anything until the beginning of the year. But have no fear! It will be coming soon! I promise!

EDIT: SO... this sequel thing that was mentioned not too long ago... The first chapter is up! It's kind of short but I really hope you enjoy it and what will follow! Thanks for reading y'all! :]
