A Different Time and Place
My beta was Matchmaker131, she rules and without her this story wouldn't be as good as it is now. Sorry for the delay as always I own nothing, read and review, hope you enjoy.
Three months later
Cassie was sitting on the back porch doing her homework; she hoped Dean would come back with Sam soon. Spring break had started and Dean had been gone for the whole week before that on hunt with Bobby, why he couldn't wait till now she didn't understand.
"Where did you say they went?"
"Um, Bobby said there was this big ass bear that was attacking people," Jack said crossing her fingers.
Cassie sat her book down before she went inside. When she got to the kitchen she saw somebody pull up thinking it was Dean she went to the door. However, it wasn't Dean; instead there wasn't anyone outside even though she would have sworn she'd seen someone. She shook it off and turned around, to find Jack behind her, "Shit, don't do that, Jack."
"Sorry, I thought I heard a truck."
"So you heard it too, I'm not insane."
"No, trust me, it sounded like Bobby's," Jack said as she went to the front door, "ah, it's just a puppy," she said opening the door.
"Jack, a puppy wouldn't make that kind of noise," Cassie said but Jack reached down to pick up the small animal.
---
Dean pushed the gas petal harder; Bobby was following behind while Sam was passed out in the passenger seat. The freaking witch had turned out to be one powerful bitch even dead. Sam was still unconscious because of the spells she'd cast, and now she was heading towards Cassie and Jack. They had to get there before it was too late. Dean couldn't call because the phone battery was dead.
--
Cassie stepped away from the dog as it growled at them. The woman grabbed Jack throwing her across the room and into the table. Cassie hadn't seen how or when the tall brunette woman come in the house she didn't understand what was happening all she knew was that this woman had came out nowhere.
"I guess, your lover didn't tell you about his real job," the witch said grabbing Cassie by the throat, "I'm a spirit, I used to be a witch, but guess what, I'm a powerful ghost now, and I'm going to get my revenge for what that boyfriend of yours did to me," she yelled before throwing Cassie throw the glass doors.
--
Jack woke up as she felt something licking her on the face. She smiled when she saw Cassie's kitten Dee Dee, "thank you, I knew Dean got you for a reason," Jack said picking the kitten up and taking her back to the bedroom to put her in the kennel before she grabbed a few weapons. She knew she had to go find Cassie before it was too late. She had heard part of what the witch told Cassie it wasn't good news for Dean.
--
Dean got out the car and went inside to find the house a complete disaster area. Jack was coming out the bedroom with a gun in her hand, "Are you okay? Where is Cassie?" he asked
"That thing grabbed her," Jack said, "Bitch put a puppy outside, I fell for it, next thing I know Dee Dee is licking my face," Jack hesitated a moment, "Dean I think the witch told Cassie about what you really do ........you know the supernatural stuff."
"Damn it," Dean yelled, he had known he shouldn't have kept it from Cassie all the time. Things were going good and he had been afraid to share the most basic thing about his life.
Dean didn't wait for anything else he grabbed the sawed off that Jack was holding and took off following the trail of blood that he found. Jack stayed behind with Sam and Bobby who looked like worried.
---
Cassie woke up holding her arm to her chest, her shoulder was on fire and she knew there was blood coming from some where on her, she just didn't know where she was but she tried to stand up and was jerked back down, when she got half way up.
"About time you woke up," the witch said, "I hope that you can take pain, because when I'm done with you that is all you'll ever feel."
Cassie was terrified but she didn't want to be a victim, soon as the woman moved to her she kicked out but it didn't do any good. She was shoved against something hard before she lost her balance. Cassie yelled out as she fell, and she wasn't sure what came first the realization that she was probably going to die, or the fact that she was now wet.
Dean got to the lake as fast as he could, that was where the woman/witch had been murdered by her lover. He'd shoved her off the cliff into the lake; he just hoped that Cassie wouldn't suffer the same fate. He got a horrible feeling when he saw the woman standing at the top the cliff. In a blink of an eye she was in front of Dean. "She's going to die," she said before vanishing.
--
Dean didn't think twice he went into the lake after Cassie it was her that had fallen. He swam out to her and got her out the water, he just hoped it wasn't too late.
When he got back on dry land he started checking her pulse and everything when he realized she wasn't breathing he started CPR. It was at least three minutes before he saw her open her eyes.
"Thank god," he said letting her spit the water out before he hugged her.
Cassie wanted to hold to him, but it dawned on her he'd lied to her about everything, including what had really happened with his dad. She shoved him away. "Just leave me alone," Cassie said, "you lied to me, about everything, that thing told me the truth."
"Cassie, I'm sorry," Dean said, "I didn't think you would believe me, it is all so unusual and hard to believe to me at times," he insisted.
"Whatever, we're over, if you don't love me enough to know I would believe you when you tell me the truth." she said before got up.
"Cass," he said but it was too late, he knew he'd blown it as she walked away from him, he did hope in time she would understand.

Two weeks later,
Jack knew that Dean was a wreck; Cassie had moved out, spring break had just ended and they had to go back to school the next day. Jack had taken off her self; she refused to be the one that Dean took his hurt and anger out on. Cassie would be in his class and she just hoped that Dean could deal with it. It was only three months of school left, soon as it was they knew they were leaving Missouri and that school for good.
Dean and Sam got a call from Bobby about something that was in the woods few miles away from where they lived. Sam had found out where Cassie was staying, her parents home, it hadn't been sold, and it just so happened that the thing they were after was close to there. Sam didn't say anything about the location when he told Dean.
--
It was supposed to be a simple salt and burn, but the spirit refused to go without a fight. Sam lost track of how many times Dean was slammed around, Sam started salting the ashes as he finally reached the coffin. Dean's part was to draw it away so it wouldn't hurt Sam as he tried to finish it off. Dean didn't see the thing as it swung the shovel into his stomach. It brought Dean to his knees as the wind was knocked out of him. Then he felt the shovel hit him across the shoulder, the same one just two days before had slammed against the door in the shop at school cutting it on a metal piece. It was far from healed, now the thing was hitting him in that spot. Dean felt himself being lifted again before he was slammed into the tree that stood beside the grave; the tree had no give as he fell to the ground. The last thing he saw was Sam striking the match and then the eerie sound of the ghost as it died.
Sam got to Dean and reached for his cell phone at the same time he knew his brother was hurt, but not enough to go to a hospital or so he hoped. Sam hit speed dial it was the first number he could think of that the person might be home.
"Dean, wake up," Sam said feeling his brother's neck making sure it wasn't broken.
"Hello?"
"I wouldn't have called, but I need help, we were on a hunt, Dean's passed out and he won't wake up," Sam said into the phone, "'he got slammed into few things,"
Cassie bit her lip as she heard Sam; it had been while since she'd talked to him, even though she was in Dean's class she'd stopped asking him for help. "Where are you?" she asked grabbing her jeans and car keys.
"The cemetery not far from your house," Sam said, "there was a spirit haunting the woods, he couldn't risk you getting hurt," Sam explained
"I'll be there in couple minutes, try to wake him up," Cassie said as she got into the car, the one that Dean had rebuilt just for her.
It didn't take her long to arrive and when she did she found Sam, he'd some how gotten Dean to the Impala. "You shouldn't have moved him," she said.
"Yeah, I know, but I had no choice, this is a small town remember, we live here, I have get him outta get him out here before the cops or somebody comes around," Sam said.
Cassie helped Sam as they got Dean moved him into the back seat of her car. "I'll drive to my house, follow me there," she said before she got in the driver seat.
--
Sam couldn't help but smile, if Dean only knew what he'd done, he'd kill him then thank him.
Dean started to come to in the back seat. "Sammy, slow your ass down, I just need a bed," he said about to set up, "Shit, who the hell are you and where is my brother?" Dean asked trying to sit up but the pain in his ribs stopped him.
"First, don't be mad at Sam he was freaked, second how dare you go on a hunt that risky without Bobby to back you up," Cassie yelled at him, "And yeah that's right, I kept in contact with Bobby," she said.
"I'm dead aren't I?" Dean asked holding his side, "I have to be dead if you're yelling at me,"
"No, but if you do that again you will be," She said as she pulled into her driveway, "Sam's behind me, when he gets here we'll get you in the house."
"I can walk on my own," Dean said but when he tried to sit up he yelled out, his breath caught in his throat, "Shit, shit, shit," he said trying to breathe.
--
It was twenty minutes later after they got him in the house that Dean finally let himself go to sleep, after Sam had made sure there wasn't a concussion. "Thank you," Dean said before closing his eyes and drifting to sleep as he watched Cassie, she lay beside him on the bed, she hadn't moved since they had gotten him patched up.
