Chapter 20
Secrets Revealed
Dean's POV
I had just finished tuning up my baby and made my way back up to the house. I saw Bobby at his desk and Sam at his computer, but Blade wasn't in the room.
"Where's Blade?" I asked nonchalantly.
"She went to take a nap she was looking pretty tired." Sam said not looking up from what he was reading.
I made my way upstairs and went to Blade's room. I gently opened the door to find her asleep in her bed facing the window. I looked back to see if Sam or Bobby were coming upstairs and then slipped into her room. I went and sat on the bed next to Blade. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, at least she wasn't having any nightmares right now. A piece of her hair had fallen across her face and just as I moved it she mumbled something. I leaned down and tried to see what she said but she sighed and huddled up into a ball. It was then I noticed that she wasn't under her covers. I got up and grabbed the blanket she kept at the end of her bed and pulled it over her. I gave her a kiss on the forehead and slipped back out of her room and went to get cleaned up.
After a shower and a change of clothes I made my way back downstairs to find Sam and Bobby in the same places they were when I first came in. I felt my stomach grumble and knew I was hungry. I hadn't eaten much today and I wanted something other than Bobby's food.
"Hey I'm going out. I'll see you guys later." I called to Sam and Bobby as I grabbed my leather jacket and keys. They mumbled their goodbye's and I headed out.
I drove around for a bit until I ended up and a diner for food. As soon as the waitress walked away after she took my order I felt like I was being watched. I casually looked around and found no one watching but I kept a weary eye out.
Once finished I paid and headed for the bar down the street. I still felt like I was being watched so I kept my guard up as I made my way into the bar. I sat at a table in the back that a clear view of the door and watched it to see if anyone suspicious came in. It was after I ordered a beer that a woman in her late 20's came in and sat at the far end of the bar. She caught my eyes and I stared right back at her. It was her to finally look away after a few minutes. The was something about her that didn't settle well with me. She looked so familiar, but I couldn't place her.
As the night wore on I continued to keep an eye on her as she kept an eye on me. It was around 3am when the bar was closing up that she left. I followed her outside, only to find the parking lot empty when I walked out.
Something wasn't right, I knew she couldn't disappear that fast. Before I could do anything else was struck across the back of head and all I saw was darkness.
I was slowly coming to. My vision was blurry and it took me a few minutes to gain it back. Once I could see clearly, I tired to get up only to realize that I was tied to a chair. I tried to pull to see if the ropes would give way but nothing worked. I didn't know how long I was out for but I knew it had been a while. From what I could tell I was in an old abandoned house. The window that was in the room was boarded up, up but through the cracks sunlight seeped through. I kept trying to loosen the ropes for about 20 minutes before I finally gave up. It was just when I gave up I heard footsteps walking my way.
There, in the doorway of the room I was in was the chick from the bar. She had a sly smirk on her face as she leaned against the door-jam.
"My, my lookie what I caught. The famous Dean Winchester." She said tauntingly.
"Who are you?" I asked, my anger rising with each passing minute.
"All in due time Dean. You'll find out everything in due time." She said never loosing her smirk.
"What do you want with me?" I asked struggling against the ropes and chair.
"I don't want you, you're just the bait honey." She said, I swear her smirk grew. Just then my phone started going off. She pulled my phone out from her pocket and her smirk grew into an evil smile. "Show time Dean."
"Hello Sweetie. Did you miss mommy?" She answered sweetly.
"Where is he?" I heard a girls voice. Blade. I was surprised, this was her mother? She looked so young. How could this be Blade's mom?
"What no hello pumpkin?" She pouted towards me.
"Screw you bitch! Tell me where Dean is, so I can kick your ass." I heard Blade threaten. I smirked at what Blade had said, she had guts.
Her mother clicked her tongue. "Tck, tck, tck. Now honey that is no way speak to your mother."
"You are Not my mother." I heard Blade growl into the phone, and this wasn't a normal growl. It was like an animalistic growl.
"I am your mother and if you want your precious Dean back you will treat me with such respect." She said venomously.
"What do you want?" I heard her ask.
"I want you home dear. I want to make you into the true hunter you where meant to be." What in the world does she mean by that? I thought as I looked at her with a confused expression.
"No." I heard Blade say.
"If you want Dean safe, you will do as your mother says Layla."
"And if I don't?"
"Then he will meet the same fate as Myles did. I will not give up until you are home where you belong baby. It's time to stop all this non-sense and just come home."
"Please don't hurt him." I heard Blade beg. I knew she was crying and I wasn't there to comfort her. I pulled on my ropes more but still nothing happened. This just fueled my anger.
"Come home and you have my word babygirl. I promise, I will not harm him." There was a long pause before I heard Blade answer.
"Yes mother. I will come home as long as you promise to let him go when I am home." Blade said sadly.
"My word is my bond sweetie. I'll see you soon." I watched as she ended the call and placed the phone back in her pocket. It was then when she turned to look at me her eyes glinted. Vampire, Blade's mom was a vampire. That's why she looked to young to have a kid like Blade. She started talking again. "Finally after all the years, she is coming to her senses. I swear that girl is so stubborn. I mean all I wanted was for us to be a family again and she is the one that was making things so difficult."
"Why do you want to turn her into a vampire so badly? Are you that lonely, that you would ruin your daughters happiness?" I asked as rage flowed though me.
"Oh silly Dean. You don't even know the half of it." She smiled sweetly. "By her staying away, she the one ruining her own happiness. All I want to do is complete her transformation so she can get rid of those petty feelings she has for humans."
"Complete what transformation?" I asked confused. Now she really wasn't starting to make sense.
"You mean to tell me she hasn't? Oh this is to good to be true." She said laughing. I just looked at her like she was crazy.
"What are you talking about?" I growled out through clenched teeth.
"The night my Layla was born, was the night I was turned." She said her evil smile returning. "You see Dean, I was pregnant with Layla when I was bitten by my maker. My transition cause me to go into early labor, Layla was born a month early. As I was pregnant, I was connected with Layla in the womb. That man she lives with, Bobby, he was the one that scared off my maker and rushed me to the hospital. I was half way through my transition when my baby was cut out of me, since I was dying and rushed away, I never got to see her. Well anyway she was adopted and my transition was complete. When I came to I was in the morgue and I was very mad. It wasn't until I heard about a couple being mauled in their home that I found her, I knew it was her that killed them, but when I got there she was already gone. That guy Bobby had found her and was raising her as if she were his own, but it wasn't until later I found out he was a hunter. I knew if I bided my time I would would be able to get her back. That is until that Myles cam along and messed everything up."
I couldn't believe this. I just couldn't, she had to be making this up. She kept right on talking though. Man she really like talking about herself.
"Myles just had to fall in love with her and try to find a cure for her, but the only cure is for her to fully turn. When they got engaged, that's when I knew I was loosing her. So I kidnapped Myles and killed him. He was a problem and I took care of it. He was weak and she needs someone that's strong for her, and who knows better than her own mother? I know what's good for her and turning her into her full potential is what she needs."
"Wait, then what is she if she's not a full vampire?" I asked still confused.
"She's a half vampire. She's fast and graceful, and heals faster then humans. She also has our thirst Dean. She drinks the blood of animals, even though she should be drinking humans like the rest of us." She said as if it were the worst thing in the world.
I couldn't wrap my head around all this. Blade is a half vampire? She drinks blood? No this can't be right. I've never seen her...was this the thing she was hiding from me? If so, how could she hide something like this? I love her and she couldn't even be honest with me. She was like the monsters I hunted for a living. I'm not the one to fall for the monsters, Sammy was. No this was wrong. I can't love someone like her.
"Aw, poor Dean. You seriously didn't know? I'm surprised, even Myles knew what she was. She told him after just two weeks of knowing him, and you've known her longer and she didn't tell you? That should tell you something honey." She said faking a sweet voice before leaving.
I sat there in disbelief. How could I not see that she was a vampire? How could I let myself get so close to someone like her? How can I trust her now? Was all we had together a lie? I couldn't think straight. My mind was racing a million miles a minute. I didn't know what I was going to do.
