AN: Okie dokey, I'm getting through these chapters as quickly as possible so you, the reader, don't get bored and forget what happened. I own nothing of Supernatural. The only thing would be my OC's and they are mine so no crazy ideas.
Solo Missions, Bullets and the Truth
I was absolutely speechless. The tiredness I was feeling earlier was completely gone. It's Dean's fault that Ben had no clue about certain stuff. Then my head caught something. They not just Ben but someone else too.
"They? What are you saying? Someone else is whitewashed?" My voice sounded as confused as I was and that didn't happen a lot.
"Yeah didn't you know about his mom too?" Sam said not thinking.
"Now they do dumbass." Dean said looking really mad.
"I'm leaving." Dad's voice sounded unhappy and that usually led to bad things.
"Dad. Don't go. We just found family that you thought was dead. Don't-" I couldn't finish because Dad interrupted me.
"They were better off dead." He said as he continued to get into his car and drive away.
"YOU BETTER NOT COME BACK DRUNK!" I yelled after his car.
"Friendly guy. Can't say I ever want to be around him but hey who can complain." Dean said to Sam.
"How exactly are you-" Sam started but I knew too well that it was unsafe in the open.
I interrupted knowing too well that it was unsafe in the open, "Shut up and come inside."
I was walking into the door that leads to the hotel, when I realized that they weren't following. I held the door open and waited but they wouldn't budge. I motioned with my head for them to come In but they still wouldn't come. I walked over to them and that's when I heard a car coming. I turned hoping it was my dad, but was completely wrong.
I turned my head away from the open gate and realized that Sam and Dean were hidden by the gate. "Shit. Not now." I mumbled.
"What?" Dean asked looking through the gate seeing the car. "Shit."
"Did you not just hear me say that? God you're as def as my dad." I heard the car stop and knew Ben was coming out.
"Hey you ok? I thought I saw your dad driving insanely fast." Ben said realizing that I wasn't alone. "Oh. Hi I'm Ben. Have we met before you guys look familiar?" Ben's face twisted trying to think of where.
"These are my…um…cousins. It was a long lost kinda thing I have no clue how my dad found them probably that place ya know." I said scratching my head.
"Ben. What's taking so long?" Ben's mom said coming through the gate and seeing Dean and Sam. "Have we met?"
Dean looked absolutely pitiful. It was kinda like a lost puppy. He didn't say anything he just started at Ben's mom. Honestly it was kinda creepy and Sam must have thought so too.
"My name's Sam and this is Dean. We're visiting our cousins." Sam gave a smile and put his hand out for Ben's mom to shake.
"Lisa." She said shaking both of their hands. "And you must be Liz, right?"
"Yeah that's me." I said with a forced smile.
"Ben's said a lot about you." Lisa said with a smile a bit too big.
"Mom." Ben said seeming embarrassed.
"Well…this has been great and all but-" I stopped when I looked over Ben's shoulder and saw a man walk past with black eyes. Once we made eye contact he smiled then walked away.
"What is it?" Lisa said looking over her shoulder.
I shook the shock off and made up a quick excuse. "I all of the sudden got really bad cramps. Sorry, I should go inside. Come on guys." I directed toward the boys. "Nice to meet you Lisa." I said with a wave and a sweet smile. I ran straight for our room, well my room at the moment. I opened the door and left it open so Sam and Dean could get in. I started to panic. I only panic when other people are or could be in trouble.
"What's wrong?" Sam asked being the only sensible one after our friendly encounter.
"I'm panicking that's what's the matter." I said pacing back and forth in front of the T.V.
"Why are you panicking?" Sam asked in a much to calm voice.
"You talking to me like I'm five won't help with that frickin' demon that just saw us!" Sam looked confused so I added, "With Ben and Lisa!"
That seemed to snap Dean out of his trance. He started to yelling orders. "Sam we need to stake out their house. Liz can you stay here by yourself? Good. Salt in the windows the whole nine yards. Got it?" He didn't wait for an answer on half the questions.
"Dean shut." I couldn't stand him bossing me around. "We're all a bit on edge here but no need to jump off the frickin' cliff!"
"Let's all just get off the topic of demons for a minute. They won't take Ben and Lisa till it gets dark. So Liz. Explain this family thing."
"Well Samuel and Deanne actually had two kids, one before they were married, my dad, and one after, your mom." I started the tale but was interrupted by Dean.
"And how do you know this?" He asked angrily.
"I do family research…and my dad was nearly killed by a demon because he was a Campbell. Before he knew of course. That's how my mom and dad met. Isn't cute?"
"Your mom? Where is she now?" Sam asked stupidly and for that he received an elbow in the stomach from Dean.
"She…um…she had a Jinn accident. Ran into a lot of them. They found her two weeks later." I said feeling instantly sad about actually saying it out loud.
"Was she a born and raised hunter?" Sam asked still twisting the knife but it wasn't as bad talking about her not dying but living.
"Yeah. Born a Colt and died a Campbell. Apparently long line of hunters on both sides of the family." I said smiling a little.
"Colt…like gun making Colt?" Dean asked slightly surprised.
"Yeah really diluted, came from a line of boys I guess. You know had a son got married had a son and the cycle kept going." My smile only grew when Dean's look of shock grew. "Ok if you idiots are going to stakeout I'm gunna need your numbers I.C.O.E." They looked confused so I explained, "In case of emergency."
We traded numbers and I started to put salt in the windows while they drew some devil's traps here and there. "Salt the door after we leave." Sam said as the two walked out the door.
"I'm not a rookie ya know." I said as the door closed.
Once it shut I salted the door and went to my bed to relax and watch some of the tube. I was starting to doze off after about an hour and a half of watching crappy reruns on TV Land, when a knock came to the door.
"WHO IS IT?" I yelled not wanting to get out of bed and instantly regretting I said anything.
"Room service." A man's voice said from the other side.
"I didn't order anything." I said through the door.
"This is on the house." The voice said calmly.
I looked through the peep hole and saw a guy in the hotel uniform with a platter that was covered by a lid. I backed away not feeling to certain about this guy. I walked back over to the bed and picked up the phone to call the front desk.
"Hello?" A sad sounding man's voice said.
"Yes do you have room service?" I said trying to be quiet but not to quiet.
"No we don't have room service. This ain' no five star hotel princess." The voice said and I hung up quickly.
I ran quietly to the door and looked out the peep hole. The man was gone but the platter was waiting by the door. I opened the door and pulled that platter inside the door. I fixed the salt that was moved back into a line by the door. I slide the tray along the floor to the center of the room carefully afraid of what might be inside. Once it was where I wanted it I put a ring of salt around it and grabbed my handy dandy handgun ready to shoot. I grabbed a towel from the bathroom and the garbage can because I don't want some demon trap to be running around in the small ring of salt.
I lifted the lid and dropped it in a matter of seconds. I urge to throw up was a lot more than I could handle. The garbage can was of a much more natural use than I had planned. I turned my head and gagged when I saw the arm just sitting there. My eyes started to sting and I had to get out of the room so I ran to the bathroom and dialed Dean's number quickly.
He picked up after the third ring. "What is it? Did the boggie man get ya?" Dean said in a playful voice. I choked back tears and his voice got serious, "Liz is everything ok? Talk to me."
I didn't trust my voice but if I didn't say something he would hang up and think I cried wolf.
"D-dean…there's a…um…my dad's…." But that's as far as I got before the thought of the severed arm caused the same reaction as it did when I first opened it.
"Lizzie? What's wrong? Jesus." Dean sounded scared.
I tried to get my words out and to not throw up this time.
"My-my dad's arm. It's….um…well it's not on him anymore. It's in front of the T.V." I swallowed the sickness that came up and listened.
"Shit. Ok, Lizzie you stay away from it. We'll be there soon. Got it?" Dean's voice showed concern which I hadn't expected but I'm glad I was wrong for once.
My head answered his question first but I came in and said, "Got it." quickly before anything could come up.
I started rocking in the bathroom next to the toilet trying to be anywhere but here. It was working for a bit. I was in the middle ages with knights and king and queens. I was a princess but a total bad ass princess none of that damsel in distress crap. I heard a set of footsteps come from behind then a voice say, "My lady."
I turned and saw Ben dressed as a knight. I sighed and asked, "Ben why are you in my happy place? My dad's arm is sitting in the floor literally twenty feet from the door. I should be seeing my dad or something."
"I don't know. Why would any guy in their right mind wear chainmail?" He retorted quickly.
I couldn't help but laugh. My moment of laughter was cut short by the sound of cannon fire. I looked out the window and saw nothing.
"Where's that coming from?" I asked Ben feeling confused.
"Maybe it's your wake up call." Ben said right before he faded and my happy place disintegrated. I got up and opened the door refusing to look behind me as I did so. Sam and Dean walked in but stopped almost instantly.
"Jesus." Dean said putting his arm up to his nose.
"Hey what's that?" Sam said getting closer to the arm. "Why didn't you say there was a note with it?"
"I don't know Sammy. It may be because I was to shocked by my dad's arm on a plate!" I screamed still feeling a bit nauseas.
"Sorry, but the good news is it has an address." Sam said.
I went over and looked at the note. I recognized the address. It was of an old warehouse that we thought might have whatever is terrorizing the town in it. "That's the address Dad probably went to when he was p. ."
"Let's go Sammy." Dean said quickly.
"Oh no you don't. You can't leave me here." I argued.
"We won't leave you here. We'll take you to Ben and Lisa's. I'm sure they won't mind." Sam said with a smile.
"Um no. This is my dad. I'm going to help with this."
"No you won't. So let's stop arguing before your dad looses another limb." Dean said quickly heading for the door.
I was more than angry at them but I couldn't argue. Not with Dad's life on the line. They drove me to Lisa and Ben's house and drove off before I even knocked on the door. When Ben answered the door he seemed kinda shocked.
"Hey…um…what are you doing here?" He asked in his pajamas of sweat pants and a huge shirt.
"My dad went M.I.A and my cousins are looking for him. They figured that I shouldn't see him when he's drunk or whatever he's doing." I said telling the truth for once.
"Ben who is it?" Lisa came to the door. "Liz? What are you doing here?"
I gave a sigh not wanting to tell the story over and I didn't have to because Ben did it for me.
"Of course you can stay here. I'm sure your cousins will find him don't you worry." Lisa said pushing me in the door. "I hope you don't mind sleeping on the couch."
"It's fine. Thank you for letting me stay again." I said quickly.
"No problem. Make yourself comfortable. We were just heading to bed." Lisa said with her head in a closet full of blankets.
I dropped my stuff next to the couch and was sure that Lisa and Ben didn't see my gun that was hidden inside my jacket pocket. I set my bed up as Lisa and Ben went to their rooms. It was near midnight before I even considered sleep and by then I just couldn't handle the day. I felt the tears escape the dams that held them and a quiet sob escape. It wasn't too long till I heard footsteps from upstairs make their way downstairs.
"What's wrong Liz?" Ben's voice whispered.
"Everything." I got out quietly wanting to stop but unable to.
"Tell me about it." I said sitting next to me on the couch which hadn't been slept in yet.
"Well…I know exactly where my dad is and it's not a good place and my cousins are gunna end up…well…let's say it's not good…" I was surprised I got a full sentence out.
"It's ok. Dean can save anybody." Ben said quietly.
"What?" I said still crying but not as much.
"I don't know. He just seems like he could keep anyone safe. Try to go to sleep ok?" Ben said in a soft whisper.
"Ok." I said letting sleep come at last
