Ch. 14 Behind Closed Doors
''What took you guys so long?'' Sam said as Dean and Cain entered the living room.
Cain blushed and busied herself with some book she found on the table. ''I had trouble getting him out of the bathtub.''
''Yeah… I'm clumsy like that.'' Dean grabbed the laptop and sat down on the couch.
Sam didn't say anything but Cain knew that he wasn't stupid and that they weren't the best liars in this case. He kept quiet and changed the subject. ''Bobby found something.''
Cain put her book down. ''What? A hunt?''
''No. More like absolutely no hunt.''
''Dude. What the hell are you talking about?'' Dean kept typing on the computer.
''Bobby called some hunter friends. Seems like nobody as had a hunt in a couple of days. It's like everything supernatural has just stopped. No demon or spirit activity. Like every supernatural creature out there are taking a break.''
''That's kind of scary. Any idea why this is happening?
Sam opened a small map of the US in front of him and the two hunters joined him. ''Some of Bobby's friends found a pattern. Apparently it started here.'' He pointed on the map.
Dean frowned. ''Kansas?''
''Yup. Lawrence to be exact. And it's expending. There's still some supernatural activity in Virginia and California for instance. It's like the wave hasn't reach them yet.''
It was Cain's turn to frown. ''Wave?''
''We think it might be something extremely powerful coming from Kansas. Like a wave. A supernatural wave. Something that's stopping everything else or…''
''Or what?'' Sam looked worried and Cain put a hand on his arm.
''Or something that's calling them.''
''Like a paranormal magnet?''
''Yeah something like that.''
Dean had been quiet for a while and Sam was getting worried. ''You okay Dean?''
''Kansas huh?''
''Yeah. I know. I thought about that too.''
Cain was getting confused. ''About what?''
Sam turned to her. ''Well, you know how you told us all about your life story a while ago?''
''Yeah.''
'' Well, I think it's about time we told you ours.''
45 minutes later Sam and Dean had gone through every possible detail of their lives with Cain. From the fire in Sam's nursery to being carried around through their entire childhood by their father. Sam had just finished telling her about the Devil's gate, leaving out the some of the more personal details and Cain gasped.
''That was you?!''
Dean chuckled. ''Don't sound so surprised honey. By now I'm sure you've realised that we're kind of trouble magnets.''
''Anyway, we've hunted a lot since then. Tried to get rid of all those demons we let loose. And we met you four months later.'' Sam said.
''Do you think that the thing causing all of this came out of Hell when you opened the gate?''
''Maybe.'' Sam seemed determined. ''If it is, we have to stop it. It wouldn't be out in the first place if it wasn't for us.'' He cast Dean a knowing look.
Nothing Dean knew about was powerful enough to do something like that. He hadn't told Cain about the deal. No way he'd tell her now. But he had a feeling that whatever was causing this thing was bad news for him. He knew the crossroad demon wasn't the one holding his contract. Something else was. Something bigger and scarier than the little demons they usually met during their hunts. Some big ass uber-demon was waiting somewhere for his time to be up and he was scared though he'd never admit it to Sam. The two of them tried as much as possible not to think about this but he had a little over 7 months left and they hadn't heard about anything resembling a clue on the demon holding his contract. The fact that all of this started in Kansas couldn't be a coincidence.
Not thinking about it had been really easy since they met Cain. Actually, in the week or so since they met her, Sam and Dean hadn't said a single word about the deal. Dean hadn't told her because he never would have thought that she'd be staying with them, but now… everything was different and he knew that if he told her she'd be angry and Cain's anger was not a pretty thing.
I am so not telling her.
''Dean?'' Cain was staring at him. He had been lost in his thoughts. ''Are you sure you're ok?''
A strained smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. ''Peachy.''
''We can't go now.'' Sam was looking at the map again. '' You're hurt and if we want to fight this thing we'll need everyone at their best. That means you Dean. You need to get better. For now I say we lay low.''
Bobby walked in the room and put a hand on Cain's shoulder. ''Would you mind helping me with something?''
''Sure.'' She got up and followed Bobby out of the room.
Dean immediately turned to Sam. ''Thanks for earlier.''
''For what?''
''Leaving out some of the details… like my deal.''
'' I'm not the one that should be telling her. This is between you and her.''
''I know.'' He sighed.
''You are going to tell her right?''
Dean stared at the ceiling. ''Sure… in time.''
Sam frowned. ''Dean… you have to tell her.''
'' I can't Sam.'' His expression was pained.
''Why?''
''I can't hurt her Sammy.''
''Hurt her?'' Sam couldn't believe it. ''How do you think she's gonna feel when it comes for you in 7 months and takes you away. Do you think it's gonna be easier for her because you haven't told her?'' He got up. ''It's going to hurt so much more when she learns that you've lied to her.''
''Technically, I'm not lying to her. Just skipping over some details.''
''Since when do you care about this kind of stuff anyway? You've been using the deal as an excuse to do anything you want for the past 4 months and now suddenly you're tactful?''
''I'm not… It's… '' Dean was at a loss for words. ''I don't know. '' he finally said.
''Dean. Look at me.''
Sam stared at his brother and when Dean finally looked at him he saw it. The look. The confusion and the pain in his eyes. ''Do you love her?''
''Sammy…'' he warned him.
''Come on Dean. Answer me.''
Dean couldn't look at Sam anymore. Everything was so messed up. Why did he have to fall for her when he knew he wasn't going to be around for very long. Just long enough to hurt her.
''Yeah.''
Sam sat down again and Dean slumped back on the couch. '' You have to tell her.''
''It was so much easier when we weren't talking about this shit.''
''I know. Doesn't change anything though.''
'' I know Sammy.''
Cain and Bobby walked back in the room. ''So what did I miss?'' The boys look worn-out and she went to sit down next to Dean on the arm of the couch.
Dean put his hand on her leg. ''Nothing important.''
