Chapter 25
Siobhan's POV
We had all met up inside Bobby's house after the event had finished. Marthe had explained what had happened after us four had split up since Dean was still recovering slightly from Meg's attack. I made sure Marthe wasn't hurt at all before the questioning went underway.
"So, they're all people we know?" Sam asked, probably confirming what he already knew.
"Not just know. People we couldn't save. Hey, I saw something on Meg. Did she have a tattoo when she was alive?" Dean asked, sitting on a chair next to Marthe.
"I don't know." Sam answered, and looked at me to see if I knew anything. I shook my head in response.
"It was like a-a mark on her hand - almost like a brand." Dean explained.
Sam's eyes lit up as they always did whenever he realised something, "I saw a mark, too, on Henrikson."
"What did it look like?" Bobby asked.
Surprisingly, Bobby had recovered quickly after what he had been through with the young girls. Maybe I did have to stop worrying about him as much as I did.
"Uh, paper?" Sam asked, and I handed him a piece and a pencil that was nearby, "Thanks."
Sam did a quick sketch of a symbol that I didn't recognise and held it up so Dean could see.
"That's it." Dean nodded.
"I may have seen this before. We got to move." Bobby ordered, before getting up.
"Woah." Sam said, holding up his hands.
"Follow me." Bobby told us, while walking out of the room.
"Okay, where are we going?" Sam asked, and looked at me with a confused face and I him also.
"Some place safe, you idiot." Bobby said, rolling his eyes as if it were something obvious and that we all knew what he was going on about.
Bobby collected some of his books and led us down to a basement. Marthe and I shared a look before I blurted out,
"This is the super cool basement, right?"
Bobby stopped and stared at me with curiousity. Then something like recognisition went across his face, "I keep forgetting you girls know about the future. But, yes, you are correct."
Both the boys looked at me curiously but said nothing. We kept going until we reached the basement in question with the pentagrams and other wardings.
"Bobby, is this..." Sam started to ask but trailed off in awe.
"Solid iron. Completely coated in salt. 100% ghost proof." Bobby told us, stepping inside.
It was much more intimidating being inside the room than watching it on the show. It felt bigger somehow which made me feel small. There wasn't much in there save for a bed and a few supplies. It definitely made up to be a useful lockup room if we ever needed one. Hopefully, we wouldn't have to.
"You built a panic room?" Sam asked, while he studied everything.
"I had a weekend off." Bobby shrugged, as if it was the most natural thing to do in the world.
"Bobby." Dean said, taking everything in.
"What?" Bobby asked, gruffly.
"You're awesome. Oh." Dean said, spotting a poster of a swimsuit model. He smirked at Marthe and she rolled her eyes at his reaction which made Bobby chuckle a little.
Marthe and I were sitting on the bed while the boys were sat at one of the surfaces making iron bullets. Bobby had mentioned that there maybe need of them since we were facing vengeful spirits and the boys had got into making them straight away.
"See, this is why I can't get behind God." Dean started, while putting a bullet aside.
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"If he doesn't exist, fine. Bad crap happens to good people. That's how it is. There's no rhyme or reason - just random, horrible, evil - I get it, okay. I can roll with that. But if he is out there, what's wrong with him? Where the hell is he while all these decent people are getting torn to shreds? You know, why doesn't he help?" Dean asked, ending his rant.
"I ain't touching this one with a 10-foot-pole." Bobby commented.
"Yeah." Dean agreed.
The boys went back to doing their work for a while which left Marthe and I sometime to think. I was starting to become a little homesick, even if I had only been away from home for a few days, and began to think of my Grandma and my Mum. I was starting to miss my boring little town more than I realised.
"Found it." Bobby said, bringing me back from my thoughts.
"What?" Sam asked.
"The symbol you saw - the brand on the ghosts..." Bobby trailed off.
"Yeah?" Sam asked again, turning around from where he was sitting with a raised eyebrow.
"Mark of the Witness." Bobby stated, looking at all of us.
Sam voiced what we were all probabaly thinking, "Witness? Witness to what?"
"The unnatural. None of them died what you'd call ordinary deaths. See, these ghosts - they were forced to rise. They woke up in agony. They were like rabid dogs. It ain't their fault. Someone rose them... on purpose." Bobby explained, finishing his chilling tale.
A shudder went through my spine as Sam asked, "Who?"
Bobby raised an eyebrow, "Does it look like I know? But whoever it was used a spell so powerful it left a mark, a brand on their souls. Whoever did this had big plans. It's called "the rising of the witnesses." It figures into an ancient prophecy."
"Wait, wait. What - what book is that prophecy from?" Dean asked.
"Well, the widely distributed versions just for the tourists you know." Bobby commented, making Marthe and I chuckle a little even though we knew the matter at hand was a dark one. Bobby, however, seemed to appreciate that we found his inappropriate joke funny since he smirked at us and then carried on, "But long story short - Revelations. This is a sign, boys."
"A sign of what?" Sam and Dean both asked simultaneously.
"The apocalypse." Bobby stated.
The light-heartedness that had been in the room a moment ago suddenly vanished. Marthe and I looked at each other with worry. We knew exactly what was going to happen with these boys. The hardest question for us was to decide whether or not we should tell them what would be held in their future for them.
