Alrighty here's chapter 5! whoot whoot! Heads up this chapter is just a lot of information exchange between Evalynn and the Winchesters so I'm sorry if it gets a little boring, but don't worry the action will be coming soon!
Esperanza911- Thank you so much! Your comment honestly made my day. I'll try to explain the Supernatural aspects as much as I can (I doubt It'll be a problem since I'm not going by the plot of the episodes). But I'm glad you liked Evalynn, I'll try to develop her character more as the story goes on as well.
Chapter 5
Evaylnn POV
Much to my surprise, I actually found myself enjoying the two brothers' company. They caught up a few seconds later once I had walked out of the building. Honestly, I didn't know why I was trusting them- I really shouldn't trust them, but there was just some part of my brain telling me that he was telling the truth.
"So, what is your name?" the young man asked me, inturrupting my thoughts
"Evalynn, but you can call me Eva" I internally winced, Sarah was the only person who ever called me that.
"Nice to meet you Eva I'm Sam Winchester and this is my brother Dean" I just looked down at his outstretched hand, yeah I know it was rude but I wasn't exactly a touchy-feely person...and yes handshakes were too touchy- feely for me. Keeping my expression stoic, and my eyes as cold as possible I just nodded once.
Sam awkwardly dropped his hand to his side and itched the back of his head. I didn't miss the glance him and his brother shared, probably already thinking about how weird I was. Slightly annoyed I walked ahead of them (we were heading back to the parking lot of the diner)
"Hey what happened to your sweatshirt?" Dean called from behind me. Shit, how could I have forgotten- there were two gaping holes where my wings had pierced through the material. Thankfully the hoodie had shifted, affectively covering my wings
"Um, they got snagged on a tree branch while hiking" I lied, hoping they wouldn't ask to many questions
"Huh, must have been some tree" he replied. I didn't say anything, hoping he would just drop it. We walked the rest of the way in silence, once we reached the parking lot, I stopped by my bike.
"Well this is my ride" I said turning towards them, both Sam and Deans eyes widened
"THIS is your ride?" Dean said guesturing at the motorcycle slightly shocked
"Mhmm." I replied, hoping I sounded indifferent. Honestly I was amused by his reaction but I couldn't let myself show any more emotion than I already have- showing emotion makes you vulnerable.
They both shared a look, damn that was really frustrating.
"How bout we just meet at the Twin Oaks Motel Rm 24, and we can talk there" I said, as I got on my bike revving the engine. I didn't wait for their reply as I sped across the street.
Sam POV
I looked at Dean once she sped away and we both started to walk towards the Impala.
"So, I guess this means we're going" I said as Dean opened the door
We both sat in the car "Yup, she seems innocent enough but there's just something off about her" he said as he started the car.
"Well I'm guessing there would be Dean, if my vision was accurate she probably is a bit messed up" I said feeling guilty. I honestly don't know why but I feel so horrible that I wasn't able to save her from that torture, even though I barely know her.
"Sammy I'm not talking all that mental trauma "she needs help" crap, didn't you notice there was something way off about the rips in her sweatshirt? They definitley weren't caused by a tree." he continued "and Sammy, I know that look."
"What look?" I asked, honestly confused
"That look you get when you told me about Jess's death, or right after we didn't save every single person on a job- its guilt and you have absolutely no reason to be feeling it now." Dean finished, looking slightly aggitated.
I was silent, in all honesty I was shocked. I didn't realize how much of an open book I was to my brother. I sighed knowing there was no use denying it
"Look Dean, I realize why you don't understand. Hell, I don't even know why I feel so bad about not being to be able to help this girl we just met, but I just feel this connection to her. I feel like I gotta protect her" I said, finally venting to my brother. I think the last time we had anything close to a deep conversation was about Jess, and even that didn't really end well. I held my breath, waiting for Dean's answer
He was silent for sometime then he said "You're right, I don't understand but I really want to try to. And if it is important to you, we'll see if we could help this girl out."
"Well uh- thanks I guess" I said, apprehensively. It was so unlike Dean to back down like that
"Alright, alright this is enough chick flick for one evening now lets get out of this car before we both start growing lady parts (I know Bobby uses this line later on but I just had to use it)" he said as we parked right outside the motel.
"And don't forget" Dean started after we got out of the car "we still have to see what exactly is going around in this town"
I grinned "I didn't forget, trust me"
We walked through the cramped up motel and stopped outside room 24. I held up my hand to knock, but before my knuckles hit the door Eva's muffled voice shouted "Doors open!"
We both exchanged glances for the fourth time that night, and stepped in.
Evalynn POV
Once I got into the motel room, I got out a bag from underneath the old bed. I unzipped it and pulled out a small shotgun and a small throwing knife, tucking both under the belt of my jeans. I then changed out of my ripped sweatshirt, and put on a slightly longer v- neck on to hide the weapons, then put on a leather jacket to cover the scars on my arms I had gotten from the School.
Subconsciously I ran my fingers over a particular scar on the back of my neck
I was running on the treadmill, one of the white coats looked at me and started jotting down little notes on his clipboard.
"Faster" he commanded. I suddenly felt the moving belt bellow my feet start moving quicker. My legs struggled to keep up, my lungs fighting for oxygen. I had already thrown up twice, dehydrated but they still didn't let me stop. Not being able to do it anymore I started to fall behind, when I felt a prick on my neck for the sixth time that day.
"You know what happens when you slow down, 435" he said sinisterly addressing me with my expiriment number. There was a knife suspended from the ceiling that was placed right behind my neck, if I slowed down the knife would imbed itself into my neck. Not deep enough to kill, but enough to hurt like a bitch.
I didn't say anything, not even complaining. I didn't want to give him the pleasure. I moved slightly faster, but I could still feel the edge of the blade tickling the hairs on the back of my neck.
"But of course if that isn't enough motivation for you, we can always get your dear Sarah in here and it'll really be a party" he spit her name out like it was poison. Red clouded my vision and forgetting the pain I moved faster. My legs blurred and sweat started pouring down my face in buckets, but I kept moving. Faster, faster.
I was brought back to reality with the sound of a car driving into the parking lot. Looking outside the window, Dean and Sam where getting out of the car and making their way over to the room. I wasn't stupid enough to trust them, hence the weapons, so I was extremelly aware of all of my surroundings. Moments later I felt the ground slightly vibrate, indicating the footsteps coming down the hallway. I saw the shadow of two pairs of feet under the crack of my door. Showtime I thought as I yelled "Doors open!"
The two brothers walked in, and Sam closed the door behind them. We all stood in a moment of tense silence until Dean cleared his throat
"May we sit down mam?" Dean asked mockingly, effectively breaking the tension.
I rolled my eyes "make yourselves comfortable", Dean sat on the single chair in the corner of the room and Sam leaned against the bedside table. I didn't move from the edge of the bed, aware of every single movement.
"So, am I gonna get an explanation as to why you two were following me?" I asked
I saw Dean look over at Sam and mouth 'You start'. Sam sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, looking nervous
"Okay I'll start from the beginning" he began, "You see, there are things in our world that not many people know about, things that not many people believe..."
After he finished I was honest to God just plain shocked. Either these guys were a bunch of physchos our our world is really fucked up. Hmm I'll go with both. I mean demons, vampires and werewolves? They're not supposed to exist. Just like avain human hybrids a part in the back of my mind told me. Ugh screw you brain for being so damn rational sometimes, I opened and closed my mouth several times...unsure of what to say.
I ended up laughing outloud, I'm pretty sure I sounded borderline hysterical. Dean and Sam shared a concerned look and honestly I couldn't blame them.
"Look-" Dean started to talk but I put my hand up, indicating him to by silent.
I rubbed my eyes "Okay, say this is real, what in the world does this have to do with me?"
"Well, some type of monster or demon- we don't know yet- killed our mother and recently my girlfriend." I didn't say anything, I know he didn't need my pity so I stayed silent as he went on "recently I've been having these, well...visions" he said putting the word visions in air quotes
"Sooo, you're psychic" I said a bit skeptically
Sam POV
"Yeah" I said, hesitantly unsure of what her reaction would be.
She simply nodded and said "okay, go on".
I looked at her wierdly, she took that a little too well "It seems to be that all of my visions are somehow connected to our mothers death or whatever murdered her"
"And I'm guessing thats where I come into the picture" she said, still surprisingly calm.
I gave her a sad smile "Yeah, last night I got a vision and I saw a girl who looked like a younger version of you strapped to a table" I waited, and gauged her reaction.
At this point her calm demeanor was gone and I'm pretty sure every muscle in her body stiffened, I paused unsure if I should go on
"And?" she said, her voice sounding strained.
"W-well they were electrocuting her, seeing how much she could handle. When I saw you in the diner today, I recognized you and I realized I was looking into the past. Usually I get visions involving the future, but this one was different and I have no idea why." I finished, exahling nervously. I looked over at Dean, but he was paying attention to Eva who was intentlly looking down at the floor.
Evalynn POV
I felt frozen, like I couldn't move. How could he know? How could that be possible? I love to think I'm so strong, that after what I've been through nothing can hurt me. But the truth is I'm so ashamed of my past, my fear of weakness is a weakness itself. I stared at the ground carefully studying the cracks and crevices on the motel floor.
I noticed that Dean and Sam were both looking at me worridly, then I realized how pathetic I must look. Clearing my throat I cleared my face of all emotions and looked up.
"So I guess you want answers" I said, my voice surprisingly clear and authoritative, void of emotion
"No we want cookies" Dean said sarcastically. Sam glared at his brother but I just ignored him
"Look, I'll tell you the basics alright but I don't know if its gonna help you in any way." I took a deep breath in and explained what the School was, but I spared a lot of the gory details- including the tiny detail that I currently posses wings.
After I was done Sam was stunned into silence and Dean just looked pissed (at what I had no clue.) An extremelly uncomfortable silence settled over us yet again- damn this was getting annoying.
Then Dean spoke "then how'd you get out?" sounding more sobered down. I almost groaned in frustration, I heard the pity in his voice and I hated it. Not wanting to go into details I simply stated
"I escaped." They didn't pry for details.
Sam POV
I had no clue what to say, even before she said anything I knew her story was going to be messed up but it still came as a shock. I mean how can humans do that to others? Expirmenting on little children? Its just sick. I looked at Dean and he looked furious- probably at these Itex people. In all honesty I was too, I felt this wierd protectiveness over Eva and the thought of her going through that just made me sick to my stomach.
But that still didn't explain why I had the vision of her, how could she have anything to do with the monster that killed Jess? Questions filled my head, but there were just no answers. Suddenly I realized something
"Eva did you notice anything strange about the scientists while you were there?" I asked eagerly
She looked uncomfortable but answered "you mean except for the evil, baby killing sadism? Nope, everything seemed normal." sarcasm coating every word.
I winced, obviously I had worded that wrong "Thats not what I meant, I mean do you remember seeing any of their eyes a different color? Possibly black or red?"
Before she could reply, Dean spoke "You think that Itex place is run by demons" he didn't ask, he confirmed.
I nodded my head once and started pacing the room "Its a theory that makes sense, Eva you described them as evil soulless bastards well what if they actually were? It would also explain why I'm having the visions."
I stopped to look at Eva, she looked slightly sick to her stomach "Demons?" she questioned, looking up at me. To my surprise I saw no fear in her eyes, only pure anger I actually took a step back. She got up and started furiously pacing the room
"So you think these demons" she spat the word out "the same one that killed your mother and girlfriend, are responsible for killing-" she paused for a second, almost like she was catching herself "-for killing all of those children?" she asked angrily, obviously struggling to contain her emotions. I didn't miss the pause she took but I didn't mention anything about it.
"Well thats the only way that makes sense. So did you see anything extremely out of place about any one of them?" I asked again
"No, not at all" she said a bit too quickly. Dean and I exchanged glances
"Look" I said, placing a hand on her shoulder. She glared at my hand and I took it off quickly Idiot I thought, obviously she wouldn't want a stranger getting anywhere near her. I took a couple steps back and saw that Dean was wearing an amused expression with one eyebrow raised. I resisted the urge to flip him off and went on
"We know its hard to process, but with more information we're one step closer to finding this evil bastard and killing him for good"
She sighed, looking conflicted about something "Okay I'll tell you everything I know, no matter how crazy it sounds, if you promise me one thing" she paused waiting for my reply
Curious I looked at Dean, he looked suspicious "yeah sure, what is it?"
Eva looked up at both of us "I get to come along, and help you hunt him down"
Eva POV
Did I just say that? I was shocked with myself, I never ask for help let alone ask someone if I could tag along. I told myself that the only reason I wanted to because I wanted to travel with them and help kill the...the demon was to avenge Sarah's death along with all the other kids who went through that hell. But is that the only reason Eva? A part of my brain questioned Maybe you just don't want to be alone any more- I shut my inner monologue up before it got any more bright ideas. I inwardly groaned, why did things have to get so complicated.
"Um, I guess so" Sam replied at about the same time Dean said "hell no!"
They both glared at each other for a few moments until Dean said "Sammy can I talk to you for a minute...outside?"
I sat back on the bed, amused at the exchange between them. Sam nodded once then turned to me
"We'll be right back" he said, forcing a smile. Dean turned to me and gave me an extremely fake smile. He proceeded to walk out the door with Sam trailing behind him.
Once they were outside I let out a deep breath I felt like I had been holding the minute they stepped into the room. If by any chance they did agree to my offer (which I highly doubted they would), should I tell them about my wings? Uh hell no my brain told me, as I continued assesing my options, the two brothers walked into the room.
Sam looked accomplished and Dean looked extremely frustrated
"So I think we'll take you up on that deal" Sam said, somewhat happily. Dean just grunted in consent, I had a feeling this wasn't that much of a mutual decision.
Though I was enjoying Deans discomfort, I responded with a short nod
"So, what now?"
"Well since you are gonna travel with us, we're gonna have to teach you how to defend yourself" Dean said, trying to sound somewhat authoritative. I almost laughed out loud at the irony of the situation but kept a straight face as he went on "Sammy and I came here on a job, found about some suspicious activity in the area. Its also an opportunity for you to learn monster hunting 101, and hun I really hope you can keep up cause you slow us down and you're out" he said with what I'm pretty sure he thought was a threatening expression
Resisting the urge to laugh I gave him my sweetest smile "I'll try my best" This is going to get interesting.
Well there it was! I have to say it was my longest chapter so far, which I am proud of...but I know it was a bit boring. This is the main chapter where I established base of the main plot, so the action will follow soon. And I gotta admit, I'm pretty excited :D
R+R please! Reviews= CHICKEN WINGSS!
