Supernatural
"It looks like she got all of them" said Sam, investigating the bodies, free of demons. A few of the vessels were beginning to wake up. A brown-haired woman opened her eyes and started screaming and he bent down to comfort her. "The demon…the demon…no, keep away from me!"
"Err, Sammy, I think we should leave her" Dean said.
"Wait, one second. Was there a girl, 13, brown hair in a leather jacket?" The woman nodded. "She got rid of all of them."
"There she is!" shouted Rayna. "Estelle!" Estelle was limping towards them, clutching a blade in one hand and a patterned jug in the other. "Estelle, thank God you're ok. What did you find?" She looked scared for a second and held out her arms. "An angel blade, some holy oil, a book of symbols and this." She showed them a piece of glass. "I don't know what it's for."
"Did you really take down all the demons?" asked Rayna. "Because that's…AWESOME!" She grinned but Estelle looked away.
"Are you hurt?" It was Cas. Her leg was bleeding.
"I'm fine, seriously." But he held his hand over the bleeding patch until the cut sealed.
"Estelle." Sam came over. "Was there anything else you found?"
"All the crates have dead bodies in. I don't know what for." She looked sad for a moment.
"Anything else?" She looked away.
"No."
"Ok." He knew she was lying but he could not bother her now. She had gone through a lot today. "Well we'd better get back. Estelle, you need rest." As they started to walk out, Sam noticed Estelle exchange an unreadable look with Castiel before they burst out into daylight.
August 2011
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Lauren had been fussing over her for the last week now. Checking the school list constantly to see if she had all the equipment needed, washing and ironing her clothes again and again so she would have something to wear every day, calling all her friends to ask if their kids were going to the same school so she could meet them.
"Stop it, Lauren. I'm fine."
"Do you want me to introduce you to those girls over there?"
"No, can you please just go? You're embarrassing me."
"Oh, sorry." She rushed off, occasionally twisting her head around to see how she was doing. Estelle ignored her and walked into the playground. She noticed a group of about four girls, all talking at the same time and stood behind them for about 30 seconds before speaking.
"Hi." They all turned around.
"Hi, said the tallest of the girls who seemed to be their leader. "Are you starting here too?" She replied with one word.
"Yeah." The girl had short, dark brown hair and was wearing plain shorts and a purple t-shirt. "I'm Tina."
"I'm Estelle. So, do you all know each other?"
"Well, we went to the same elementary school as Kim." She looked to the shortest girl with blonde hair in a high ponytail. "And Becca lives across the road from me but I only just met Rayna." Rayna was the quietest girl in the circle. She was black and quite small with frizzy hair and she was dressed in a purple sweater and jeans. It looked a bit too hot to be wearing them. "Hi."
"So" interrupted Tina. "Do you want to join in? We're talking about music."
"Sure."
"So you know that new song by…" Everything went silent for a moment. Estelle could hear the blood rushing through her ears. She felt the sense of being watched. At the end of the playground stood a man with messy hair in an enormous, quite dirty trench coat. He stared at her, not breaking her gaze. A group of boys walked past him, carrying a soccer ball and when they were all gone, he had vanished. It must have just been her imagination.
"…yeah but her other song is so rubbish. I don't know how she can go from that to well…that."
"Did you guys see that?"
"See what, Estelle?"
"Um it was…never mind. I was imagining stuff. So what music do you like, Rayna?"
