"The world would never feel safe again."
NOVEMBER SECOND, NINETEEN EIGHTY THREE...
This night had once represented loss and heartache for John and Mary but now as they watched Dean give his sweet baby brother Sammy a goodnight kiss they recognised that they had been granted two beautiful miracles and instead of feeling the loss of their first as profoundly as they once had, they now felt love and greatfullness..
John scooped Dean up and joked asking Dean if he thought Sammy was big enough to toss around a football getting a giggle from Dean as a reward for his effort. John whispered his own goodnight to Sammy before turning of the light and carrying Dean to his room.
Once Dean was tucked in John settled into his recliner to watch the evening news and not realising how tired he was after an unusually long day at the garage, he accidently drifted off to sleep...
The scream that jolted him awake chilled him to the bone, it sounded as if it had come from Sam's nursery and John's first thoughts were off a new horrific thing Mary had learned about, a thing so aweful that it stole the breath of an infant in it's sleep and hearing his wife scream he felt his heart drop to his stomach as he thought he had just lost another son.
"No, please GOD not the baby." John's mind pleaded as he ran up the stairs only to find that Sammy was perfectly fine. Relief washed over him and he thought maybe it had been just his imagination as tonight of all nights did tend to trigger lots of stress no matter how much healing the eight years after the loss of his first son had brought. Just as John was about to turn and leave the room something dripped from the ceiling and landed next to Sam's head. John reached out to touch the red substance, it was thick and warm another drop fell on the back of John's hand and when John looked up to see were it had fallen from he was met by the most terrifying thing he'd ever seen...
His beloved wife was pinned to the ceiling above Sam's crib, her face was distorted in fear and pain from the slice that ran along her abdomen. John wanted to cry, every instinct he had screamed for him to "DO SOMETHING TO HELP HER!" but as he finally fought off his initial shock the ceiling erupted into flames consuming Mary in the inferno..
"MARY, NO!" John bellowed with anguish as he watched the woman he'd vowed to love forever burn. Dean's voice snapped him into action and he scooped Sammy from his crib and placed him into Dean's arms and told Dean to take his brother and run outside as quick as he could without looking back.
After Dean disappeared John fought against the heat, even though part of him knew it was to late another part of him had to try again to save the woman he loved.
A huge fireball exploded out towards him and the heat and force of the blast sent John hurdling into the hallway, he knew that if he didn't get out of the house now that he'd be making his sons orpahans and that was the only thing that made John accept that he couldn't do anything for Mary now.
He ran as fast as he could scooping Dean up as he bolted away from the glass that showered down with the force of a second explosion. Finally allowing the shock of everything to settle in John sat on the trunk of his Impala and held his boys close as he watched the firemen battle the blaze that had taken away the mother of his children..

John knew what he'd seen and he knew he wasn't just stressed and seeing things or crazy as people he'd gone to for help continuously suggested, it wasn't till he found a woman named Missouri that he learned about what sorts of truely evil things existed in the world right under the noses of civilised humanity...
The world would never feel safe again and knowing that fact sharpened the edges that made John the well trained killer that he'd buried after the war for the sake of the love of his life and now he was going to use those edges to avenge her death and to help keep other families safe from all of the evil supernatural beings in the world.
A/N: I wanted to give a chapter that showed how much the loses of two loved ones (Mary AND James) only years apart helped mold John into the father and the hunter he became after Mary's death and I hope in subtext one can imagine how if James had never been taken things could've turned out different the night The Yellow Eyed Demon appeared in Sam's nursery and how all the events that followed may have been different... The next Chapter will take place in "present day" (After Cas and Dean get out of Purgatory as I didn't want to go through Sam and Dean's childhood or Cas and Dean's time in Purgatory)this is the last "filler chapter" ANYWAY... PLEASE REVIEW!
A/N: I'll be on a temporary hiatus soon as I'll be loosing my internet for a while plus I'm moving (Turning off my net and cable after this month's up to help save up money for the move) I'll go to libraries to get online and update as often as possible but it may be 2-3 months before I'll be able to do anything substantial with any of my stories... Yeah there'll be updates during that time but they won't be very long ones and they won't be very frequent as libraries won't let me have more than an hour on the computers and their computers won't always be available AND I'll be busy with packing and planning when we can afford the half across the country trip from California to Oklahoma, so I'm not going to be able to always be consistent with updates after the1st of October till possibly after Febuary 1st or even a little longer, BUT, I promise I WILL finish ALL my stories!
