I closed my eyes for a long moment already not liking where this was going. "And you had to fetch Cas to make me stay?" I asked turning on my heal and glaring at Sam but not moving into the kitchen.

"I didn't feel like chasing after you and I knew that Dean would have no intention of doing it." Sam replied simply as if it were obvious. He gestured to where I had been sitting a few moments ago. "Now will you please sit down so we can explain what is going on." He asked

I didn't have much of a choice as I felt Cas push gently against my back making me take uneasy steps forward. After all, no one liked having family interventions at eight thirty in the morning. I slowly slid into the seat and took in the way Sam seemed uncomfortable and Dean seemed really reluctant and he spun the unlabeled bottle in his hands. Sam was obviously trying to figure out how to start the conversation and Dean just shook his head and mumbled something that almost sounded like 'its going to kill her' before he raised his green gaze to my silver/blue one.

"You aren't a real Winchester." Dean said bluntly and I felt my heart seize for a moment and I didn't know what to say. "Not until you were twelve anyway." He added.

I stared at him horrified but remained silent. Like seriously, what does one say at a time like this. Instead a small almost inaudible sound came out that almost sounded like a question.

"Okay, I think i'm going to just go now. Nice seeing you again." Robbie said starting to back out of the kitchen but Cas still remained in the door way and was in no hurry to move so he sulked as he took the seat beside me.

"What Dean means to say is that you really are Emma Cornerstone. You're parents were also hunters, both of them. They knew John and Dean often ended up babysitting both of us. So we already knew each other." Sam started slowly, making sure i was following what he was saying. "The night of the car wreak, well that is when everything changed. Both for yourself and us." He said glancing at Dean who clearly wasn't pleased we were having this conversation to begin with.

10 Years ago

Emma sat in the back of the SUV watching the trees flick by the window while humming to a song on the radio. Emma could see a lake on one side of the road with the sun setting slowly behind the mountains. She didn't know where they were or what her parents were talking about in hushed voices. She was just happy to see Sam and Dean again. It had been almost two years since the last time and she was eager to show Dean her new skills. She yawned and blinked at the darkness and saw a flash of something. Just for a split second, almost looked like something looking back at her. "Mommy. What was that?" She asked a split second before whatever the thing was landed on the hood of the car. She let out a shrill scream as her father slammed on the brakes as the windshield was shammed through. Emma closed her eyes completely terrified by what she saw, the yellow gaze of that thing that held her father in one hand as it jumped back off the car. Something the twelve year old thought would forever be burned in her mind was instantly forgotten as the car careened into the lake and blackness overtook her mind.

Elsewhere

Dean looked up from the fridge. "Shouldn't they be here already?" He asked his dad who shrugged. Dean sighed when he didn't get a direct answer and turned his gaze back to the nearly empty fridge. "Well I'm heading into town to get something to eat." He said after a long moment and looked at Sam who was sitting on the laptop writing something. "You coming Sam?" Dean asked and his brother didn't look up from the computer. "Sam." He said a little louder and repeated himself once he finally had Sam's attention.

"Oh yeah. I'll come." Sam replied before typing some more while he started to stand. He grabbed his jacket and shut the computer lid before following his brother out to the car.

Neither of the boys spoke as Dean pulled out onto the dirt road leaving the hunting cabin behind. They pulled onto the two lane narrow mountain road and started down the large hillside still in silence other than the radio Dean had turned on. Sam looked continuously out the window while Dean slouched in the driver seat. It wasn't until the road straightened out that both boys started to talk at the same time but at varying degrees of urgency.

"So i'm thinking Chinese food sounds pretty good tonight." Dean started and the same time Sam all but jumped out of his seat as if something had hit the window.

"The hell was that?" The fourteen year old almost shouted totally missing what Dean had said. He looked at his older brother horrified and wide eyed as his brother looked at him confused.

"I have no clue what you're talking about Sam." Dean started but slammed on the brakes as something scurried across the road ahead of them barely touching the Impala's head lights. "I dont like the look of that." Dean murmured under his breath so that Sam couldn't hear.

Both boys sat on edge in the middle of the road but didn't see anything else move around them. Sam claimed he wasn't really sure what he saw but it wasn't pleasant. They both shrugged it off and started to drive again keeping their eyes open for anything. The car rumbled around a corner just in time for both boys to watch horrified as a blue SUV turned off the road and into the lake. Dean hit the brakes yet again and pulled the car close to where the jeep had gone off the road.

"I think there was someone in there." Sam said getting out the car as fast as he could but Dean was already running to the edge of the lake leaving his shoes and shirt behind him. How he was so fast was something Sam would never understand. He watched his brother dive under the water as Sam hoovered at the edge of the lake. It wasn't really worth both boys getting wet unless the really had to. Sam watched Dean surface before diving back under. He began to worry but it was quickly forgotten as he felt eyes on him. He licked his dry lips and turned in a slow circle his hand moving the pocket knife he had.

Dean surfaced again sputtering and coughing. "Sam!" He called out to his brother that had his back to him. When he had gone down under the car was filled with water due to the front windshield being completely smashed and no driver present. However two people were still in the car. He did what he thought was best and had grabbed the little girl out of the back. Guessing from the tinted water near the front of the car the passenger hadn't made it anyway. But to be honest he didn't know if the blonde girl draped in his arms made it either. He made it awkwardly to the side of the lake as Sam turned back around, his expression going from confused to slightly scared. Dean pushed the little girl on the bank and Sam pulled her up farther and gasped.

"Dean! It's Emma!" He called after his brother who was swimming back to the car. He saw his brother hesitated before continuing to the submerged jeep. Sam turned his attention back to Emma at his feet and dropped to his knees praying the she was okay. He turned her on her side but didn't know what else to do and looked back to the lake where he saw Dean making his way back to them. He flicked his gaze back to Emma as she started coughing up water. Dean dropped beside the two of them panting and shook his head slightly when Sam gave him a look silently asking about anyone else.

Dean slowly stood once he confirmed that Emma would make it. He gathered her in his arms and gave Sam a sad look. "Come on. We need to get back to the cabin. Dad needs to know this." He said and started for the Impala which was still running and Sam followed more slowly and kept casting glances back over his shoulder.

Present day

Dean finished off his bottle and looked at me solemnly. "What happened before Sam and I got there. Well i'm afraid we may never know." He said shaking his head. "Dad hunted around those woods for weeks after that but never found anything that would have done that." He continued

"When you finally woke up, you didn't remember anything that happened or who you were." Sam said and my gaze flicked to his. "It was a battle between dad and Dean over what to do with you but Dean finally one and we decided to tell you that you were one of us." Sam said. "Maybe it wasn't the best thing to do looking back at it now. But at the time it seemed the only right thing to do." He watched me for a moment, almost like he was waiting for me to say something.

I just shook my head slightly and looked between the two of them. Cas seemed unsurprised by this news though I wasn't surprised. He knew almost everything. Maybe he knew what happened. I opened my mouth to ask but he was already shaking his head.

"Sorry Emily. I don't know what happened before Dean and Sam found you." He said holding my gaze apologetically.

I hated when he knew what I was going to ask before I got it out of my mouth. I sighed and looked down at my hands. Robbie was holding one to show his support though he remained silent. "Bobby used to say 'family don't end in blood'" I said softly looking back at the two boys "and by the looks of it. You're the only family I have left. I mean. You're the only family I know." Dean looked at me with mixed expressions and Sam looked cautious. "So." I hesitated, not really sure what to say. "I guess i'm sorry for acting the way I have been. I didn't know that you guys laid all that on the line for me." I said and Dean shrugged.

"Not like we had a normal life anyway" Dean said with that smirk he usually bore. "Now. With all that, out there, can we go back to living what we call normal? With no worries like that again?" Dean asked and I nodded. Though I wasn't sure if life would ever be the same again.
