"Daddy, I don't want to do this." Violet set the pen down on the table and gave her father a look. Dean sighed, not enjoying this either. He had a hard enough time understanding things when they had been taught to him by teachers, he couldn't even fathom how hard it must be for her to understand it coming out of his mouth.
"Violet, just a few more problems and we can calls it quits." He ran a hand through his hair and moved closer to the table. Violet huffed but looked down at what he was trying to show her. It wasn't that she didn't understand it, it was that it was boring and she would much rather be outside. He's kept her locked up in here for almost 24 hours and she felt more then sluggish.
She knew that he needed sun and she needed it soon. She would have been fine if she had slept but it was weird for her to sleep longer then two, maybe three hours in a row. Any time longer then that she would wake up every ten minutes or so. She let him talk her though it again and she did them on her own and he let her off the hook.
He stood up from the table mumbling something about getting himself a beer and she put everything away. Dean had took his father serious when it came to the homeschooling so for the last four years he's not only been a hunter but also a teacher. Though the only thing that he really knew how to teach were how to shoot a gun and fight. He made sure that she was learning plenty of that as well and he's very proud to say that she got a hell of a right hook for a ten year old.
While he was getting himself that beer, he checked his phone for a message from his father who had yet to contact him for two weeks. He was starting to get a little worried, he had tried calling him but it always went straight to voicemail. Violet made a sound to get her father's attention and he turned around.
"Can we go do something please?" He looked her over and could see the tiredness in her eyes and he reached for his car keys. He still didn't understand how her powers really worked and new things seemed to be popping up every other week. She climbed into the Impala and Dean pulled out of the parking lot. He normally took her to a park so she could run around or swing, or somewhere she could just sit and soak up the sunlight. "Have you heard anything from Grandpa?" Dean gave her a quick side glace and waited a second before he answered her.
"No, but I'm sure he's fine." He said reassuringly. She licked her lips and turned to look out the window. She closed her eyes and let the energy from the sun into her. The light began chasing away all the slow and sluggish thoughts and feelings from her body.
He pulled into the parking lot of a park he had seen coming into town and she was quick to jump out and made her way to the swings. She tucked her dress underneath her legs and slowly pushed off the ground. Dean could already see a difference in her as she moved. He had tried opening windows for her and letting the energy move though the glass but it always seemed to louse some on the way though.
He got out and followed her, sitting on the closes bench to where she was. He had successfully kept her away from other hunters and she had even started helping him with hunts. He really didn't like it at first, in fact he refused her help a few times but she didn't let that slid. She was pretty good a research considering her age and he was beginning to wonder if her comprehension level was a little too far above her age range. He liked that she was smart but he found it difficult to keep up with her evolving vocabulary as well as he ability to fly though a book the size of his head. She didn't talk or act like a ten year old, that was for sure. It was times like these that he really wished his brother had stayed rather then left for school. He would be so much better at the homeschooling thing and she could really learn to her full potential.
They ended up hanging out there for about another hour before Dean decided it was time to head back. She didn't argue with him as they moved back to the car and it wasn't till they got back that Dean realized that he had forgotten his phone in the car. He flipped it open was more then surprised to see a voicemail from his father. He was quick to listen to it and that only made his heart drop in his chest. Violet could see the change in her father and her own fear started to surface.
"Where are we going?" She asked as Dean pulled off on the exit Palo Alto.
"We are going to visit Uncle Sammy." Dean said and looked over to gauge her reaction, he was pleased to see her face begin to beam at the information. After he first left she used to ask about him all the time until John go so fed up with it that he yelled at her. Dean and him had a pretty big argument after that and that was the real reason that he started hunting alone. They made up, if you could call it that but Dean decided that Violet could hang out with him for a few days at a time, like when he ran into Louis but that was about it.
Violet had a right to want to know what he Uncle was doing and where he was. Dean of course was still angry at him for taking off and abandoning them but his daughter didn't need to get caught in the middle of that. So about a year after he left Dean let her call him. He didn't speak to his brother himself but she was more then happy to take up his time.
Sam would send her birthday and Christmas presents and sometime just a few things here and there. The only time him and Dean would talk was when he answered the phone and Sam would ask for Violet. Dean never told John about him letting Sam talk to Violet, not knowing if it would set him off or not. He felt a little guilty about it at first but decided that Violet is his daughter, not John's and if he wanted to let her have a relationship with her uncle it was his own damn choice.
Over the last four years he had really started to become more independent when it comes to his father. Not on things that evolved hunting, he was still the boss when it came to that, but with Violet. Right before her seventh birthday John had wanted to get her her own gun and start teaching her how to use it. Dean was on board for that but he knew that was only the beginning. First it would start as teaching her how to use a gun, then it would evolve into the training session that would rival those at Marine camp. Dean knew first hand how those sucked the life out of people and that was the last thing he wanted to put his daughter through.
So, Dean said no. That he would teach what she needed to know when he was good well and ready. That sparked another fight. John argued that she needed to learn so she could start hunting at the same time Dean and Sam did and Dean said that he wasn't going to let that happen. Letting her do research and maybe letting her walk around a house that was haunted to see if she could sense something was one thing but taking her out when he was planing on killing the monster was on a whole different level.
"Does he know we're coming?" She questioned, pulling Dean from his thoughts.
"Nope, it's a surprise." He gave her a smile and she returned it. He didn't tell her about the fact that he didn't know where John was or that he was only going to see Sam because he needed help. Looking for John on his own could be dangerous and he didn't want Violet to only be depending on him. Not to mention if something happened Dean, Sam could get Violet to safety and he wouldn't have to worry about her.
"Are we almost there?"
"A few more minuets. He managed to get the apartment number from calling the front desk, claiming to want to send a surprise gift for Christmas though the mail. It took a little convincing a but he got it out of them. He pulled outside the building and looked at him daughter.
"Can I come in too?" She questioned and Dean thought about breaking in with her. He knew that he wasn't the best role modal for the little girl but letting her watch him brake in with her doesn't seem like it would be the best thing. Then again, it's just his brother's apartment. It not like it's some stranger's.
"Why not?" She unbuckled herself and climbed out while Dean got himself out, she ran around the front of the car and wrapped her hand around his. He was really not looking froward to the time when she refuses to hold his hand and turns into a moody teenager. He knows that its right around the corner.
They moved up the fire escape until they got the window to the apartment they were supposed to be in. Dean shimmied the window open and let Violet climb inside first before following after her. She was looking around with excitement, happy to see where her uncle has been hiding out and she couldn't wait to find him. Dean felt a little panic rise up in him as she ran out of the kitchen into another room.
"Violet!" He whispered harshly but she was gone. He heard a curse from the other room and he mimicked the voice. He began walking towards the sound and right before he made it inside the light flashed on. Violet had jumped on the sleeping Sasquatch, scaring the living hell out of both him and the blond woman that was sleeping next to him.
Dean peaked his head inside and couldn't stop himself from laughing at the sight. The blankets were tossed all over the place and Violet was sitting on Sam's chest who was looking at her in tired shock. Sam's face turned to Dean when he heard him laughing.
"Dean?" He questioned, "what the hell are you doing here?" Dean shrugged.
"Dean? Like your brother Dean?" The girl was standing next to the light switch and Dean finally noticed her. His eyebrows raised at the sight. She was breathing heavy, more then likely due to the fear from being woken up in the middle of the night by a ten year old that didn't even live with them.
Hey everyone, here is the next chapter. I've gotten a lot of reviews about how Dean and Sam aren't close enough to one another and how they don't like John in this story. This is before the first season starts and I'm trying my best to keep it as close to how things would have gone had this happened in the show. From what the boys have said about their childhood and how Sam's relationship is portrayed with his father we know that all relationships were strained before and a little bit after Sam went off to school. Dean was always upset that Sam didn't listen to their father and in this story he tried taking Violet with him. I don't know if you've noticed but Dean is the definition of overprotective so it makes sense that he would respond no so nicely. If you have any more questions please leave them in the reviews.
