Chapter 3 - Telling Tales
"So let me get this straight," Shawna had just finished telling her tale and the boys where trying to take it in as best they could. "Your husband made a deal with the king of hell so that you would live; with the added bonus of premonitions, instead of letting you take the ride upstairs and booked his own one-way to the pit?" Dean just seemed to find his voice first.
"Yeah, well, maybe you could fill me in sometime 'cause I never understood it. But now what is most important is my dream. I know that it wasn't easy to hear but I'm hoping to not have to watch you die every night now that you know." Shawna said with a sigh, glad to have finally told them what she saw and some about her past. Maybe this could finally be over soon.
"Well first we need to try to figure out where and when all this takes place." Sam tries to make a plan but gives up when he notices that both Dean and Shawna are lost in their own thoughts.
Just then Dean's phone rings. "Hey Kev… Whoa slow down buddy… No, I'm true that isn't true. Kevin, breath, calm down. He can't know where you are, we have sigils up all over the place. We'll be there as soon as we can just calm down." Dean sighed and looked up at a confused and worried Sam. "We need to go to Maine. Kevin is freakin', he thinks Crowley knows where he is. "
"Well speak of the devil…"
"Who is Kevin?" Shawna says not liking the way any of this sounded.
"A friend of ours, he is a prophet of the lord. He is now in hiding from Crowley because he has something Crowley wants. He thinks he is in danger and that Crowley knows where he is." Dean doesn't know what else to say but the truth. "We gotta go and see about him."
"There is a chance all this might be connected with my dream. I need to go with you."
"No." says Dean at the same time Sam blurts out "Okay." They looked at each other; Dean gave Sam the 'we need to talk' look. "Excuse us."
"Dean she has to come. What if this is related to her dream?"
"Sam what if it isn't? You really want her with us all the time for who knows how long?"
"No, I mean, it will get in the way of some things but we need to know. I'm not going to let us die again and I sure don't want anything to come between us, especially her, things are slowly getting back to the way they were between us and I'm going to do everything I can not to lose that."
Dean smiles at that "first off, definitely a chick-flick-moment so stop-it: and second, what kinda things are you thinking about Sammy?" He finishes it off with an eyebrow wiggle and a laugh when Sam blushes. Dean thinks once again he will never get tired of seeing his Sammy all bashful like that.
"Unlike you I could go without sex for a while but I would definitely miss waking up to your kisses." Sam says while leaning down to kiss Dean softly. "And she probably won't think it is exactly normal for two grown men to share a bed, but I could deal with it to save you."
"Hey! It's my job to do the saving around here. Big brother saves little brother that is just how it works. So I guess I see your logic Mr. College boy, she can come."
"Alright, let's go tell her."
"Are you Sure you want to go? We could always come back after we see about Kevin."
"I appreciate the thought, but I can take care of myself and it aint like I have a lot of reasons to stick around here. I just want these dreams to stop."
Sam feels his heart sink when he recognized the tone in her voice. It was the same one he had used so many times before Dean had killed yellow eyes, he knew what it was like to just want something to stop. "We understand. We just don't know how long all this will take."
"It will be fine. I'm already packed, I still have my duffel from when I last hunted ready."
"Okay then, lets ride off into the sunset then. Meet at the car in five." Dean bounds out of the cabin while Sam follows with an apologetic laugh.
Shawna grabs her duffel and gives the place a good once over. She locks up hoping that the next time she sees the place that everything would be over.
