Chapter Six – Revenge
I did what I had to do.
What Dad would have done.
What needed doing.
Still, her eyes haunt me.
His eyes haunt me…her boy.
He didn't need to see that.
Didn't need to be thrust into the dark so soon.
He's still a child, unformed except by me.
He wants to kill me.
I don't blame him.
It's what I'd do.
I deserve it.
I hope he finds me first before any others.
Assuming I'm still alive.
When he comes for me is when I'll kill him.
Not before.
Not until he's grown.
Until he's killed.
Until it's time.
The End

Amy's boy was an unexpected complication. Jensen masterfully portrayed Dean's conflict upon turning to find him there. An important point to make is Dean didn't kill Amy in front of her child, the kid wandered in after. Still, it is heartbreaking and while the smart thing would have been to end him, that's not Dean. Dean has his own code, his own limits to what he will do.
I couldn't help but consider Dean at that age, how he saw more than a child should ever see. I think Dean related to the kid in that regard. They are/were young children put on a path not of their choosing. The hunter asked if he had killed and then threatened him if he ever did. The man allowed the boy to live, gave the child the chance to grow up. It shows his compassion is still there, shoved down but never capable of being truly buried.
Thanks again for reading and all the insightful discussions in the reviews. This is why I love our little show so damn much. It gets us thinking and it makes us feel!
