I jerked awake, startled by the car door opening. Sam chuckled softly at me and I made a face before turning to Robbie. "Thanks." I say and he gave me a soft smile. I slid out of the car and leaned against Sam. He helped me up the stairs as I heard the rumble of Robin's jeep pull away. We got to the top of the steps and I heard the door open. I looked up and recognized Dean's figure in the doorway. Relief washed over me and I knew that I was really home. He gripped me tightly in a hug as Sam slid past the two of us. I heard water running a few moments later and I released Dean. I leaned against the wall for support as Sam walked out of the bathroom while the water still ran. He clapped Dean on the shoulder. "You can have the honors of cleaning that wound." He said before heading into the kitchen. I frowned. "I'm capable of doing it myself." I muttered as I limped after Dean into the bathroom. "Yeah." He snorted sarcastically. "You proved that you can take care of yourself." And I narrowed my eyes. "Excuse me?" I asked but already knew that he was referring to me getting kidnapped. "Well my apologies that I'm not some master hunter and actually have fears." I growled as my quick temper snapped. I crossed my arms as he turned to look at me and his eyes narrowed. "Are you implying that we weren't scared while you were gone? But if that is what you want to talk about then yeah. You can't take care of yourself. Not the way a real hunter should." He said matter-of-factly. "Oh. Well sorry that I'm not some Winchester Protege. Sorry I'm just the burdensome little sister." I snapped and gritted my teeth with the realization that; while I could clean my own wound, I was still going to have trouble walking. But I would make do. I'd have to at this point. I was too committed. Dean's upper lip curled in sick amusement but Sam beat him to saying something. "Oh come on Emily. You know just as much as I do that that isn't true." Sam said clearly irritated by the whole situation. Dean threw his hands up. "I'm not dealing with this right now." He grumbled and shoved past me. I rolled my eyes again and moved past Sam into the bathroom and slammed the door before sliding down the door until I sat on the ground.
I took my time cleaning my leg. Mostly because it hurt, a lot. and mostly because i didn't want to go back out and deal with whatever rather was waiting for me. After I was satisfied with my own work i opened the door and heard Dean and Sam talking in the kitchen but neither acknowledged that the bathroom door opened. I looked up the steps and mentally prepared myself to make the climb when i felt someone at my elbow. I turned and looked up at Cas who was ready to help me up the steps. That is until Dean called from the kitchen. "Don't you dare help he Cas. She claims she can do it on her own so let her." He said and i heard Sam murmur Dean's name. Cas gave me a look and i gave a tight smile. "He's right. I can do this Cas. No need for you to get involved." I said and forced myself up one step. Everything went quiet behind me and i knew that they were watching me but I continued to go up the steps whit gritted teeth and a white knuckle grip on the railing. Slowly but surely, I made it to my room. I closed the door and flopped on my bed and groaned. By the clock it was five in the morning. Thank God I have black out curtains. I didn't even bother changing i just laid there and slowly fell asleep.
Meanwhile:
Dean ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "What are we going to do with her Sam." He grumbled. Sam just watched his brother. "Keep doing what we are doing Dean. We both made a vow and after all she is family." He said leaning back in his seat. Dean remained quiet for a little longer. "She reminds me of me when i was younger. And that isn't a good thing." Dean muttered looking at Sam who smirked. "Well you did practically raise her." Sam pointed out and looked up as Cas walked into the kitchen. "She is asleep and she'll be fine." He said standing beside the table. "Thanks Cas." Dean said before shifting his gaze to Sam. "So what was the thing that you killed?"Sam shook his head. "I haven't the slightest clue. And when i tried researching it, nothing was showing besides some like, made up stuff." Sam sighed shaking his head. "It was easy to talk down but i'll admit that it was identical to you. Down to the way he talked and held himself. It was almost as if it studied you for a while before taking that form. Like a mix of a shapeshifter, and. I don't know what else." "It just doesn't make sense." Dean said shaking his head. Silence fell over the room again but Dean couldn't shake the feeling that he needed to talk to Emily.
I woke to Sam calling my name up the steps. I groaned and rolled over not answering. There was a knock at my door next. "Emily?" I heard Cas ask through the door. "It's open Cas." I said muffled by the pillow. I heard the door open and felt someone sit on the edge of the bed. Not Cas. I looked up with one eye and saw Dean sitting there but he wasn't looking at me, just his hands. I grunted and pushed him with my feet. Well i tried to push him off the bed but i couldn't make him budge. He huffed softly with amusement. "Look. I'm sorry for snapping like that. It's just. When something happens, especially to you, I panic and imagine the worse." He looked at me now. He looked like he hadnt slept in days. His hair was a mess and he had dark bags under his eyes. A rough starting of a beard covered the majority of his face. "We've just lost so much these past few years." He said and trailed off. Truth was, he didn't have to finish because I already knew. "So, forgive me?" He asked raising an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and nodded. "I will always forgive you Dean. You're my brother. We have to love each other." I said and he smiled softly. "Yeah. I guess you're right. Now come on. Sam made lunch." He said and I smiled. "Yeah, I'll meet you there. Once you shave and clean up. I'm okay now. You can sleep too." I said gently and he chuckled before pulling me up. "I'll do that when you change." He said looking me over and I rolled my eyes playfully. "Fine."
