In the Beginning,AU, part 2
Cambell Home
Dean and Bela arrived behind John and Mary, and then John left. As they met up with Mary, Dean practically invited himself and Bela into Mary's home. Dean was eager to meet his grandparents.
Mary had warned Dean about her grandfather, but he was already bounding towards the house.
Mary brought them inside, and they waited in the entranceway as Mary went to talk to her father. She then beckoned them inside further.
"So, you're hunters huh?"
Well, Bela really wasn't...but Dean spoke up anyways.
"Yeah."
"You kill vampires with a stake or silver?" Mary's father asked.
"Neither, you cut their heads off." Dean answered, voice full of pride.
Samuel just nodded.
"So, I pass your test?" Dean asked.
"Yep. Now you can go." he said.
"What?" Dean questioned.
"I don't trust other hunters Dean."
Finally, Mary's mother came in to diffuse the situation.
"Knock it off Samuel. He passed your test... and I'm inviting them to stay for dinner. You guys hungry?" she asked.
"Yeah." Dean answered. Bela looked at him like he was crazy...but she nodded anyways.
Mary's mother introduced herself, along with her husband.
"I'm Deanna." She said, shaking Dean's hand. "And that's my husband Samuel." She then turned and went back to the kitchen.
Dean gave Mary a look, but she only nodded and followed her mother.
"Same may be the more dramatic one sometimes...but you're the one named after a woman." Bela teased. Dean glared at her, but he really wasn't that serious.
To say Bela was uncomfortable about sitting down for dinner with these people was an understatement. She hadn't really been around many family dinners...and eating with others at an actual dinner table was rare as it was. Still, she tried being friendly.
After dinner they finally got around to discussing a case...Dean thinking that may have been what Castiel sent them back for. Of course this was after Mary and Samuel argued for a few minutes over her seeing John Winchester. The way they talked about John was so strange, always referring to him as naive and normal...that was everything opposite of how Dean saw him.
Dean forced himself into the case.
"So, seems like we may be hunting the same thing. We could take care of it faster if we go in together."
"What part of work alone did you not get?" Samuel asked. annoyed.
llllllllllllllllllllll
Dean had left the Cambell's home with Bela. They'd found a small motel and gotten the final 2 rooms offered. Bela crashed immediately. She didn't want to sleep, because she knew the dreams would be there. The flashes of blood would be there, along with the feelings of pain and fear, and she still heard the screams.
Dean wasn't fairing much better, and ended up staying awake most of the night. He went to Bela's room and pounded on her door at 6am.
"Wake up princess. Let's go." he shouted through the door.
Bela did wake up, with several complaints and throwing a pillow at the door just to make a point. She didn't say another word however when she headed to Dean and the stolen car he was still driving.
"Wow you look happy." he said. Not sure why he even bothered making small talk with her.
"Shut up and drive Winchester."
He did, because he didn't really want to hear her complain. He then turned the radio on...and the music playing made him smile. There was certain things about the past that he absolutely loved. One thing Bela didn't complain about was Dean's music...it wasn't on the top of her playlist, but she liked it well enough.
llllllllllllllllllll
Whitshire Farm.
Bela stayed in the car while Dean was inside the home, and she noticed when Samuel pulled up with Mary in the passenger seat. Samuel got out and went inside, Mary didn't seem thrilled to be there, but she made her way out to the teenage boy leaning against a tree outside of the house.
Bela got out of the car and caught up with her.
"I take it Dean is inside." Mary stated. Bela nodded. "Dad's going to love that."
Bela smiled in return.
They both walked up to the boy.
"Hi." Mary said.
She then started questioning him, and Bela chimed in. Bela was patient when she needed to be, but there were times when she wasn't. Like now, she hated when the boy didn't want to answer ay questions.
When the boy, Charlie, mentioned his father's drinking issues and seemed upset, Bela softened some. He had daddy issues...and that she could understand.
"So he drank a lot and got mean?"
"The boy nodded. "This man came and talked to me about it...he was weird, seemed to know a lot about us though."
Bela looked up at him and then to Mary. She was starting to worry about what he meant, and she was hoping it was nowhere near what she thought it could be.
The two woman noticed Dean coming towards them and paused their converstation with Charlie.
Mary had Charlie repeat what he told them, that his dad drank too much and got rough with his mom...and then told him about the strange man.
"I thought he was just a bible thumper like you guys." Charlie said. Bela almost laughed aloud at that. "He showed up last week and started talking to me about my dad."
"What'd he say?" Dean asked.
"Asked me if I wanted the beatings to stop. Of course I did, but I just thought he was nuts. I went along with him...but didn't really believe him...but now dad's dead. Am I in trouble...could I go to jail?"
Bela choked down a gasp, even though she'd been prepared just hearing another kid who had the same issues as she did made her heart beat faster. It didn't go unnoticed by Dean though. He saw Bela's face...saw the fear and self loathing written on it. Dean had his suspicions the other day when the witnesses came after them. He knew Bela's father wasn't a good man...but hearing Charlie's story and watching Bela's face get pale had Dean starting to understand what happened to her. He was pretty sure money had nothing to do with Bela's reason for making her deal.
Dean turned back to the kid, asking Charlie what the guy wanted in return. Charlie tried to tell Dean it was nothing, but he and Bela managed to get Charlie to say the demon promised to return in 10 years. Typical demon deal Dean thought. That was until Charlie admitted seeing the demon's strange eyes. Bela and Dean both expected Charlie to say black...but when Charlie said he thought they were yellow Dean froze. His face was now the pale one. He hadn't expected that at all.
llllllllllllllllllllll
Cambell home
They were back at the house. Dean had not said a word on the car ride back, Bela didn't push. He'd been angry with her before, threatened to kill her on several occasions. She was a little nervous all those times, but she'd never seen him as angry as he looked right now.
She had fallen asleep on the way over, but it wasn't a good sleep. And right before she had woken up she again saw flashes of hell, and a flash of Dean's face as well. Everything lately was so strange.
Dean slammed a map onto the dining room table, Bela jumped slightly. Dean was making her nervous, and after yet another horrible dream she was on edge. She didn't know why she was a so touchy around him, but she was.
"Hey, why don't you slow down and we can talk about this." Samuel tried.
"No, there's nothing to talk about."
"Really, because you just said this is a demon, and none of us have heard of a demon with yellow eyes before."
"I have. It killed my family." Dean said.
Bela looked up at him. So this was it huh? All hunters have a starting point, and Bela had a feeling this was Dean's. Still, she felt he was overreacting.
"Calm down son."
"You don't get it. You're in danger, we all are. In fact, maybe you and your family should get somewhere safe."
"Not until we know what we're dealing with." Samuel replied.
Deanna walked in.
"He's right Dean. We don't really know anything about what this is…or if it really is a demon."
"I know exactly what it is, and I'm going to kill it."
"Dean…" Bela started. She was a little freaked, and worried Dean was going to do something stupid that would get her killed. Was this really what Castiel had sent them here to do?
"Don't start with me." Dean warned. "I'm doing this, that's all."
"You're going to kill a demon?" Sam asked. "How?"
"There's a hunter named Daniel Elkins, he has the Colt."
Ahh, the demon killing gun. Bela thought. The one she took and handed over to a demon. She felt a little bit guilty, especially if it was the gun that could stop Lilith.
"I heard about the Colt. Used to tell it as a bedtime story to Mary."
"Well it's real." Dean said.
Bela nodded as well.
"Say that it is, you got a crystal ball telling us where this thing is gonna be?" Samuel asked.
"Maybe."
Bela gave him a confused look.
Dean flopped a book onto the table.
"What's that?" Samuel asked him.
"A list."
"Of what?" Bela chimed in.
"My dad wrote down anyone who ever came into contact with the yellow eyed demon." Dean said.
"Why?" Samuel questioned.
"To figure out why the hell that son of a bitch killed my mom."
Bela's eyes softened a tiny it. Mary, that's how she was going to die. She knew the feeling, even though she'd spent the last several years turning her emotions off to those memories.
Samuel looked in the journal.
"Uh you wanna tell us how Wiltshire farms is in your dad's journal when that just happened 2 days ago?"
"Uh well my dad knew someone who could…well see into the future. Knew it was gonna happen, guess that's why I thought it sounded familiar."
Liar liar.
"What next?" Bela asked.
"Says he's going to be here tomorrow night." Dean said, pointing to the map.
"Liddy Walsh?"
Dean nodded. "That's close by."
Samuel looked over at Deanna.
"You guys think I'm crazy."
"Well you seem like a nice kid Dean…but yeah you're crazy."
Bela laughed a little at that. Yes, he was.
"Yeah well I now know exactly where this demon will be and I'm going to stop him."
llllllllllllllllllllll
Mary and Bela are sitting in the living room when Dean comes in, all packed and ready.
"Hey, we're leaving." Dean said.
Bela got up.
"So soon?" Mary asked.
"Yeah, gotta job to do…look, I don't care what your dad says. I like John." He told her.
Bela rolled her eyes at that.
"You do?" Mary asked.
"Yeah. I really think you two are meant to be together."
Bela exited the room to get the jacket Mary was letting her use. She could hear Dean ask Mary questions about John.
As she walked back into the room a minute later, she heard Dean beg Mary not to get out of bed on a certain date. Wow…could Dean do that? Was he really trying to change the future that much?
llllllllllllllllll
Dean's driving fast, Bela is in the passenger seat.
"Look, is this a good idea?"
He glared at her. She held her hands up in surrender.
"You don't get it, that's fine." he said.
"You want revenge. Sure, I get it."
"It isn't revenge. I've killed him before, but this time I have the chance of doing it before he hurts her."
"This could change everything couldn't it? Your father isn't a hunter yet…so that means he won't start and you will never be."
Dean nodded. "I'm good with that."
"Dean." Came a voice from the backseat.
"You kidding?"
Castiel gives him a hard look.
"Whatever. Why isn't Sam back with us? He'd want in on killing this thing as well."
"You had to do it alone."
"Do I look alone?" Dean asked, referring to Bela.
"I meant without your brother. I thought she could help you."
Dean shook his head.
"Sam's probably going crazy looking for me though."
"He isn't." Castiel said.
Dean looked at him strangely.
"Look, what me and her just discussed….it's true right? If I do this, mom and dad get to live their lives, no hunting…Sam and I can be normal kids?"
Bela stayed quiet.
"Dean do you realize if you alter the future all those people you saved will be dead?" Castiel asked him.
"I get it."
Bela was a little surprised at that. All Dean and Sam ever did when she knew them before was preach about saving lives and helping people.
"You don't care?" Castiel questioned.
"Sure I care, but these are my parents. I can't let them die."
Bela knew that's why Dean had hated her so much. He had originally thought she'd killed her parents because she was an evil spoiled child, and he loved his own parents so much. He'd do anything when it came to his family. She sometimes wished she knew how that felt.
Dean looked behind him, but Castiel was gone.
Dean sighed and looked to Bela, but she didn't say a word. She couldn't say anything. He wouldn't listen to her anyways.
lllllllllllllllllllllllll
Daniel Elkins home
Dean and Bela had easily broken into Elkins home. Bela was working on the safe as Dean stood next to her. She finally opened it, and Dean then kneeled next to her.
"Freeze right there." A voice said.
They both turned slowly to find Daniel Elkins holding a gun. Bela stood slowly, hands up in front of her.
"Leave, or I'll shoot you." Daniel said.
"Sorry, we can't do that." Dean said, standing and pointing the Colt at the older man.
"Who are you?" Daniel asked.
"A hunter, like you." Dean replied.
"Thieves more like it."
Bela smirked at that.
"I just need it for a few days, I'll give it back."
"Not happening."
"Look, I have a chance to save my family's lives. I need this gun to do that. So if you want to stop us, you're gonna have to kill us."
"Hey, speak for yourself." Bela chimed in.
Dean made his way towards the door, Bela followed. Daniel made no move against them though.
llllllllllllllllll
Walsh home
Dean and Bela made their way to the Walsh's place. Dean then noticed Samuel's vehicle in the drive.
"Really?" Dean said, annoyed. The two walked up to the house, Dean held the Colt. Bela had her own gun filled with salt and a bottle of holy water in the jacket she was wearing.
They then heard yelling.
"Mary!"
It was Samuel's voice.
Damn. Dean thought. He'd brought mom into this?
Dean busts through the door, Bela staying behind him. He pulls the gun on the demon, but the demon holds Mary in front of him as a shield.
"Let her go!" Dean yelled.
Yellow eyes noticed the gun for the first time.
"Where'd you get that?"
Then suddenly yellow eyes dropped Mary and fled from the body he was riding.
"Ugh!" Dean yelled out.
lllllllllllllllllll
"What else?" Dean asked Mary.
"Nothing….he just said he liked me. That's it." Mary told him.
Bela handed her a glass of water.
"What do you think he meant by that?" Mary asked.
Samuel walked back into the room, who'd helped Liddy get some rest.
"You okay?" Samuel asked Mary.
"No." Mary replied. "Can we just go?"
Samuel nodded. Mary got up and left for the car.
"Nice job in there." Samuel told Dean.
"I missed."
"Yeah, but I was wrong about you kid. Take that compliment."
Dean nodded…but Bela for some reason had a bad feeling.
Cambell house
Mary had went up to her room, still upset. Dean decided that they needed to talk to Samuel alone.
They sat at the kitchen table. Bela had luckily gotten some sleep in the car ride to Elkin's place, but Dean looked terrible.
"We need to kill this demon now, or Mary dies." Dean finally said, throwing his dad's journal on the table.
"What? How do you know that?" Samuel asked.
"I just do okay?"
"When?"
"I don't know. Just trust me."
"You a psychic now?" Samuel asked.
"Dean…" Bela started.
"No." Dean said, ignoring Bela. "This sounds crazy, I know, just listen though. Mary is my mother." Dean finally said.
"I'm sorry?" Samuel asked.
"I'm your grandson. Look, my name is Dean Winchester. Mary and John are my parents."
Oh lord. Talk about changing the future. Bela thought.
"Okay, you're insane." Samuel said.
"Please just listen to me. Mary gets killed by the yellow eyed demon in 1983. I think that what happened tonight has something to do with it. So we have to catch this thing tonight. So unless you want to lose your daughter, then help us."
"I know I shouldn't…but I believe you." Samuel said.
Dean sighed. "Thank you."
Dean put the colt next to him on the table.
"This is how we do it." Dean motioned at the gun.
"Can I see it?" Samuel asked.
"No." Dean said.
Bela grinned. He was not going to let that thing out of his possession ever again.
"Hey, I'm your grandfather aren't I?" Samuel tried again.
"It's nothing personal." Dean said.
"Sure it is. Especially when you're trying to kill me." Samuel said…except his eyes turned yellow.
Oh shit! Bela backed away inch by inch, Dean's eyes widened in shock.
Yellow eyes flicked his wrist, sending Dean and the chair he was sitting in against the wall. He then turned to Bela and pinned her against the other wall.
"So, from the future are we? I only know one thing that has the juice to send you back here. You have friends in high places. So, you came to see me huh?"
"No. I came to kill you." Dean stated.
"Wait, if your mommy is Mary…are you one of my special kids then?"
Bela looked up, confused.
Dean didn't budge. Yellow eyes walked over to him and leaned in.
"Nah, not you. So what, you have a sister…or a baby brother?"
Dean grimaced.
"Brother it is. Terrific, after all that's why I'm here. Glad it all works out."
"So that's it huh? You don't want their souls." Dean said.
"Nope, I just want their children."
Now Bela was confused. Obviously Dean knew more about all this.
"Why her?" Dean asked about his mother.
"Because she's strong, like all of the parents I'm choosing. They're the ideal breeders."
Dean and Bela looked at him, both sickened.
"Oh don't think like that, they're not breeding with me. Although with Mary I could make an exception. You know, she's my favorite."
"So, why make the deals?" Dean asked.
"I need permission. I had to be invited…sucks really. But you know what I'm going to do in 10 years? I'm going to go to your baby brother's room and bleed into his mouth. Better than ovaltine, makes 'em big and strong."
Bela practically gasped, Dean looked horrified.
"So that's your plan then, for them to lead your demon army?"
"Oh please, my end games bigger than that."
So all those rumors about Sam…they were true? Bela thought. No way.
"What end game?" Dean asked.
"You think I'm going to tell you? With those angels on your shoulder? Yeah right."
"I'm still going to kill you."
"I'd like to see that." Yellow eyes said.
"Maybe not today, but I will. Look at me straight in the eyes you son of a bitch, because I am the one who kills you."
Yellow eyes only looked amused by this, not really believing Dean.
"Well, guess who you won't be saving today?" the demon taunted. Dean looked hard at him, Bela looked worried.
"Grandpa." Yellow eyes said. He took out a knife and plunged it into his stomach.
"No!" Dean shouted.
So did Deanna, who came into the room. Bela gasped loudly. Everyone was going to die.
Yellow eyes snapped Deanna's neck. While he was doing that Dean managed to grab the gun. Bela and Dean were released from the wall, but Yellow eyes turned around and mentally threw Bela against the wall, knocking her out. Dean ran to check her pulse before running after the demon, but the demon was gone.
"Mary!" Dean tried calling for her, but she didn't answer. Where was she?
llllllllllllllllllll
Dean pulls the car up to where the Impala was, only to see Mary kissing Yellow Eyes, sealing a deal. He had no idea why she'd do it…but then noticed his dad lying on the ground, broken neck. Suddenly Yellow eyes disappeared, and Dean misses his chance at using the Colt on him.
John slowly wakes up, back to life. Love was Mary's weakness, as it had been with his whole family.
Dean sighed, totally defeated. Castiel appeared next to him, and put a hand on his shoulder.
Llllllllllllllllll
Dean woke up returned to the motel room back in present time. He noticed Bela asleep in the bed across from him. Castiel stood in the middle of the room.
"I couldn't stop it. She made the deal, and she still died didn't she?"
"Yes. Destiny can't be changed Dean, I'm sorry."
"Then why send us back?"
"To learn the truth. You know everything we do. We know what Azazel did to your brother Dean, but we don't know why."
"Where's Sam."
Castiel told Dean Sam's location.
Dean looks over to Bela.
"She's fine. She'll be awake soon."
Dean grabs his jacket and keys.
"Your brother is headed down a dangerous path, so stop it, or we will." Castiel ordered, then disappeared.
End Chapt
