"Wait, we're twins?" Crystal asked, rubbing her temples. Her head had begun to throb the minute she found out she had two brothers. She remembered these boys, but not completely. She had remembered that every once in a while, a guy she called Uncle John would drop off his two sons every once in a while. When he could, he would sneak her out in the middle of the night and take her to see fireworks or go to a movie… She had found out about the real world when she was 15 and a freshman in high school. There was a lot of deaths at her high school and John had come to investigate. She walked into his hotel room after overhearing him tell Bobby where he was staying while dropping off his sons. She snuck out and followed him from his hotel room when she was hit in the head by a werewolf. She had woken up just as the creature had turned. His eyes grew animal-like and his nails grew into claws. She remembered backing quickly against the tree when he attacked her. He had ripped her favorite ACDC shirt, angering her so much that she kicked him in the face. John showed up then and shot the thing, saving Crystal. John then took her back to the hotel and explained everything to her. After that, he had begun to visit more often. He told Bobby that he wanted her trained for emergencies. When she was 18, he took her on her first hunt. They were hunting a Wendigo in Alabama. Crystal remembered when she came back, the older of the two sons would not talk to her. The younger explained that he was jealous that she got to spend time with their father even though she wasn't even his kid. Little did they know…
"Crystal?" Sam brought Crystal back to the present. She took a deep breath and blinked a couple of times, barely realizing that there were tears in her eyes.
"Yeah? Sorry, this is a lot to take in." Dean snorted from across the room.
"You're telling us." He was leaning back in a chair with his feet propped up on the table. He had a whiskey bottle in one hand and a glass in the other. Bobby was laying in his chair, head back and snoring. She smiled softly at the old sight. John might have tried to be a good father, but Bobby was there when nobody else was and she would never forget that. Sam sighed heavily. Crystal noticed that his eyelids were heavy and he kept stifling yawns. She patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey, head on up to bed. You have had a long day." Sam eyed her warily.
"You sure? If you still have more questions-"
"You can answer them tomorrow." She interrupted. Crystal smiled at her brother. He pulled her into a hug before turning to Dean.
"Hey, don't stay up too late." Then he headed to the guest bedroom. Crystal pulled a chair up next to Dean and grabbed the whiskey bottle from his hands. He began to protest, but decided against it when Crystal narrowed her eyes.
"Hey, I've got a question for you." He said after watching her take a big shot. Crystal grimaced before answering.
"Shoot." Dean hesitated slightly.
"Why did you leave and never come back? Do you understand how much that hurt Bobby?" Crystal felt her heart sink in her chest. A shiver ran down her spine at the memory. Looking Dean straight in the eye she sighed.
"Well-" She was interrupted by a knock at the door.
Dean had been curious this whole time why she left Bobby. He wasn't really as mad that Bobby never told them as much as the fact that she hurt him. When Sam left, Dean decided that would be the perfect time to ask her. He was interested in the fact that she was brave enough to take the bottle of alcohol from his hands, but then again she barely knew him. Dean finally couldn't stand it any longer. He watched her take a little more than he thought she could handle.
"Hey, I've got a question for you." He held back a smile as she grimaced against the warm liquor going down her throat.
"Shoot." He hesitated for a minute, unsure if he should ask or not. He hoped she wouldn't get offended, but he had to know.
"Why did you leave and never come back? Do you understand how much that hurt Bobby?" The look on her face told Dean that she probably wasn't too comfortable in telling that. She looked like a puppy that just got yelled at. He knew he was in trouble if her puppy eyes could make him feel worse than Sam's.
"Well-" She started, only to get interrupted by a knock at the door. Dean looked at the clock that read 1:02am. Who could be knocking at Bobby's door this early in the morning? Dean looked at Crystal and she pulled out her .45 caliber pistol. Dean is shocked at how much it looks like his except where his is ivory, hers is stainless steel. He motioned for her to stand behind the door and prepared to open the door when it flew against him. Dean landed hard against the opposite wall with the door in splinters all over him. He groaned in pain as he rolled to one side just in time to see two people walk in. Crystal shot both of them in the head making them turn towards her. Dean saw her eyes grow wide before they threw her into the kitchen with an unseen force. The taller of the two was thin and had long golden blonde hair. Her eyes seemed to glow a golden brown as they searched the place. The other was a stout man with beady little eyes. He had a close trimmed dark brown beard and longer hair.
"Sheiramoth. Raitaro." Dean looked up to see Cas standing unsteadily.
"Castiel." The female nodded toward him while the male began to walk into the kitchen.
"What are you doing here?" He questioned the intruders as he leaned against the wall. Dean got up only to be pushed on the floor again by the female.
"Freaking angels man." He muttered as he rolled his eyes. The man grabbed Crystal and yanked her to her feet. Castiel went to help her, but stopped when the female held up her hand.
"Castiel, we do not understand why you care for these pathetic creatures nor do we intend to try. I suggest you stay out of our way or you will soon perish." Dean shivered at the sound of the male talking and again tried to get to his feet. This time, he was able to and stood next to Cas or seemed to be getting better by the second. He no longer was the pale color he was when he walked into the room and was standing without the help of the wall.
"Raitaro, what is it you need the girl for?" Cas asked, his voice slightly betraying him. He may look better, but he did not sound better.
"It is none of your concern, Castiel." The female answered. Cas turned to her with his eyes narrowed.
"I was not speaking to you, Sheiramoth." His voice was chilled and Dean thought he had never heard Cas sound like that before. From out of nowhere, an angel blade appeared in Raitaro's hand and he got into a stance that was ready for battle. Sheiramoth grabbed Crystal who was trying to sneak away. Just as she wrapped her hand around Crystal's arm, a bright light filled the room. Dean immediately covered his eyes and shouted for Crystal to do the same. When the room was back to normal, Dean looked up and saw Bobby swaying in the doorway with his hand in a blood sigil that sends angels away.
"You showed up just in time." Dean commented hurrying over to the old man before he could collapse.
"Dean?" Crystal's voice shook as she spoke. Dean grunted at her, indicating that he was listening. When she didn't answer, he turned and looked at her. She was on the ground staring at the blade protruding from her side, blood dripping onto the floor.
