read on, my peeps!
It was like they were escorting the President, the Winchester brothers were so serious. One walked in front of her, while the other circled around at a safe distance, scanning the surroundings. Katherine thought it was a bit over the top, but didn't protest. Outloud. She gripped a silver ax tightly; she preferred more intimate weapons.
It all turned out to be futile though - the Winchester family barely made it to the car when demons descended on them. They seemed to appear out of no where. Without thinking, Katherine's gun was out and firing - her hunter's instinct still sharp. "We need to get them away from civilians!" She heard John bark as he poured holy water on a demon that was attacking him with a gun. "Head for the woods and stay together!"
"Yes sir!" The siblings echoed. None of them liked leaving the fight, but what their father said was true. At any moment, a human could be used as a shield or as bait. They couldn't risk it. In a flash, the three Winchesters were tearing for the woods as fast as they could, their hard training since age seven coming in handy. Katherine heard crashing behind them and knew that her father was on their heels - along with the demons.
"Cas!" Katherine screamed as she stumbled into a clearing, her brothers flanking her. "Cas, I need you!" Less than a second later, Cas appeared, angel sword in hand, his face stony and ready for battle. If she wasn't about to die, Katherine would've admired his change of clothes and how well they fit on him: jeans and a tight gray tee.
It was a blur. Slash, roll, stab, repeat. Katherine fought harder than she had in a long time, and not just because she'd had her memories wiped. She was not becoming Lucifer's sock puppet. Just as hope started to well in her chest that her family might make it out alive, she heard a savage yell.
"Stop!" The word rang out through the clearing, freezing Katherine mid-swing with her deadly ax. The blood drained from her face at what she saw.
Azazel had Dean pinned against a tree; blood ran down the side of his face. "Stop and come with me, or I'll twist your twin's neck like a bottle cap." He hissed, yellow eyes practically glowing with rage.
Katherine stood in indecision. She couldn't go with him, it would mean the end of the world. But this was Dean, she couldn't let him die; he was her other half.
"I don't hear an answer." Azazel sang out. Deep lacerations cut into Dean's stomach. His screams brought tears to Katherine's eyes.
"No, please stop! I'll go with you, just stop!" She screamed, tears fully running down her face. She hated herself for letting them fall.
"No, Kat. Don't do it." Dean groaned. Azazel released him from the spell, sending him crashing to the grass.
"Deal." The demon purred.
Katherine stood stock still, knowing she had damned the world. The look in Dean's eyes cut deeper into her than any knife would. It was either him or the world, and she had chosen him. He'd always thought of himself as unworthy: unworthy of praise, unworthy of love, unworthy of anything… but he was wrong. He was brave. He was kind. He was the greatest big brother anyone could hope for. He was a hero who was willing to sacrifice himself to save strangers. He deserved to be saved, to live.
"Don't hesitate Dean." She choked out. "If you get the chance, kill me." Dean shook his head stubbornly. How could she expect him to be strong enough to do the thing that she herself couldn't? He needed her just as much as she needed him.
"How sweet, but unfortunately I'm on a tight schedule. Let's go, princess." Azazel's voice dripped with sarcasm.
"Only Dean gets to call me that." Katherine ground out, arms shaking with rage. But she followed him anyway. Past her baby brother, past her father, past her lover, and past her twin. She paused, locking eyes with Dean. Twin pools of forest green mirrored her own agony perfectly. She smiled to herself. No matter what happened next, she knew she'd made the right choice.
Resisting the urge to claw out those yellow orbs, Katherine took Azazel's proffered hand.
dun dun dun!
