This sequel takes place sometime after my first fanfic. There will be more returning characters from the show and my first fanfic along with more new ones in this story.
Chapter 11 Goodbyes and Closure
After the ordeal with those occult members were over, Castiel told the guys where Chloe was who he had taken inside their car laying in the backseat unconscious the whole time. They sent Castiel to transport Xeno's body far away and bury it as they don't need the police seeing a body with eyes burned out so Castiel transported out of there taking the body with him. It was also good for Castiel to be gone since because they don't have to explain about him to the cops or to Chloe. After Castiel was gone, they headed outside the building and straight to their car where they found Chloe laying down in the backseat like Castiel said. When they opened the back door she was just waking up as she sat up. Sam reached out to touch her shoulder.
"Chloe, are you okay?" he asked her concerned.
Chloe just looked at Sam and Dean so confused and frightened not understanding what happened. "Sam, where am I?" she asked looking around.
"You're in our car" Dean explained.
"But I don't remember what happened or how I got here" she said still looking around so confused.
"Don't worry, we'll explain everything" said Sam.
After she stepped out of the car, they both explained her the details of what happened or more likely the story that they came up with as not to expose the supernatural element of things. They told her how she must have been lured out by those occult members and drugged which explains why she doesn't remember anything not even leaving the house. They even suggested that the members may have mentioned Drake or claimed he was in danger to lure her out which is the only explanation they could come up with and then held her captive once they got to the abandoned building planning on using her as a next human sacrifice just like with Ahnika and Drake. As for the reason they were there, they told her that they got a text supposedly from her claiming she was in danger hiding from the occult members who tricked her into coming by sending a fake text from Drake saying he was in danger then telling them where she was to lure them there.
Their plot was to kill them as well because they found out they had been asking around about them and feared they were snooping too much and after sacrificing her they were worried they would continue to snoop around. So, once they got there to save her, they were ambushed by the group who told them of their plans to kill them to as well as sacrifice her to a demon they were worshipping.
However, them being trained how to fight as kids by their ex-marine father who taught them everything they know, were able to fight them off and subdue them all except Xeno who wasn't even there; they implied they got rid of him too because he started to change his mind on what they were doing. After they took care of the group, they got her out of there as she was unconscious and being prepared for sacrifice and they placed her in the car when she woke up. Chloe seemed to buy this story as it seemed like the only logical explanation, and she had no reason to believe Sam or Dean would lie to her. They felt guilty for their fabrication, but they knew they couldn't tell her the real story of them being hunters and that the demon they worshipped was real as it was better this way.
After giving her their story, they then phoned the police and when they arrived, Sam and Dean stuck to their story and Chloe couldn't give them much of anything as she had no memory. The Winchesters claimed the group admitted to killing Ahnika and Drake and possibly their leader Xeno. The gang had all woken up by the time the police arrived and arrested them on the spot. They all claimed that Xeno their leader was possessed by their master Adramalek who have them superhuman strength and that an angel friend of the Winchesters killed him by touching them and then touched the women making them pass out and that Sam and Dean are hunters.
Of course, the cops thought they were all on drugs or something and just figured them to be one of those crazy satanic occult freaks who got so obsessed with their beliefs that resorted to human sacrifice and believed the Winchester brothers that they murdered three members of their gang. After the guys gave all their statements to the police, they allowed Chloe to phone her parents to come and get her rather than take her to the station. Sam and Dean however, agreed to go the station that night and give more of their testimony.
"Thanks again for saving my neck there" Chloe said to Sam and Dean outside near their car as the cops loaded up all the occult members and collected evidence they found at the sight.
"Anytime Chloe, we were just glad to be here" Sam said as he put his arm around Chloe.
"You know my folks are going to have me locked away until I'm thirty when they find out what happened" she replied in a lighted-hearted tone.
"Hey, it probably won't be that bad" Sam told her although he didn't really know that for sure.
"You don't know my folks that well" Chloe said.
"I do know that they are good folks and maybe they're a bit overprotective because they don't want to lose you too, afterall you are all they got now" Sam told her in a fatherly tone.
Chloe just had a bit of a guilty look on her face. "Yeah, I guess I just proved them right, didn't I? I mean I get mixed up in an occult that killed two folks including my friend Drake. I can't stop thinking about what they did to Drake. I sure know how to pick them" she replied with a bit of a sad look.
"You were just rebelling like most young folks your age do; you had know way of knowing" Sam told her trying to cheer her up.
"Yeah, but still Drake's gone, those freaks killed him, he was the real reason I joined that group anyway, I never really cared about demons and rituals and all that weird stuff and now I wished neither me nor Drake ever laid eyes on those freaks, if we hadn't, he would still be alive" she told them.
"Like Sam here said, there's no way of you knowing what they were really like. Kids all the time get into these weird stuff just to rebel and have something different and exciting to do, but next time just take up larping or something" Dean replied a bit sarcastic.
"I'll definitely need to find a new hobby and get rid of this tattoo now" said Chloe as she looked down at her tattoo and touched it.
"Yeah, maybe cover it up with an eagle or hawk or any of those tattoos you young folks like" Dean told her smirking.
They laughed a bit and Chloe thanked Sam once again giving him a little hug and Sam felt touched and relieved that he got to save Jessica's little sister and couldn't help but think about her at that moment. Soon, Chloe's parents arrived and they also talked to the police who were still there and then ran to Chloe and all three embraced. Chloe told them how Dean and Sam saved her and Mrs. Travers ran up to Sam and thanked him and Dean both as Mr. Travers followed behind and thank them too. The police let Chloe go home with her parents and the three of them headed for the car and drove off as Chloe waved to Sam and Dean in the backseat. Sam and Dean just smiled as they drove away and then they agreed to follow the cops back to the police station in their car.
At the police station, Sam and Dean continued to give them their story as they were going to tell it. The four remaining members were all in jail and still stuck to their crazy story which none of the cops believed to the Winchesters relief. After spending what seemed forever at the police station, they cops let them leave seeming to believe their story over the occult group. So, with that, the brothers got into the Impala and headed straight to their motel room and plopped on their beds to get some sleep. They slept longer than usual when working a case since when they woke up it was almost 8:00 am. They both slept completely in their clothes, they just changed their shirts and headed out to the nearby diner to get some breakfast and afterwards they decided to drive by the Travers' place just to check up on Chloe. When they arrived, Mrs. Travers answered the door.
"Oh, guys, it's nice you stopped by" she said as she invited them in.
"You know I still want to thank you guys again for saving Chloe from those devil worshippers, I really scares me to think we could have lost her too, you know but I'm glad those freaks are in jail, it's such a shame what they did to that poor girl and Chloe's friend Drake, she's still really sad about that" she told them as she walked them inside the hall and into the living room.
"You're so welcome, Mrs. Travers, I really hope she is doing okay" Sam replied.
"Other than being upset about losing her friend she's holding up as expected. She told us everything that happened once we got home and makes me appreciate more what you guys did for her, I mean if you two didn't show up our dear little girl would be gone just like our Jessica" she said about sad.
"Well, we're glad to help ma'am and we're relieved she's okay too" Sam told her.
"Would you gentlemen like to sit down?" she asked gesturing them to the couch, but Sam and Dean shook their heads.
"No, thank you ma'am we won't be here very long we just wanted to check on Chloe and say goodbye as we're heading out and going back home soon afterwards" Sam said.
"Well, it will be sad to see you go but I guess you got to get back to your life now that you paid your respects and all, I mean you two have been here longer than expected I guess. But it was sure nice having you here and seeing you again Sam" said Mrs. Travers.
"It was good seeing you too Mrs. Travers" Sam said.
"And nice meeting you, Dean" she said turning to Dean.
"Yeah, same here" was all Dean said.
"I'm sure Chloe would love to say goodbye too, you know I still don't know what was going on in her head to get mixed up with that crowd, I mean an occult who worships demons?" she replied.
"Hey, you know how young folks are at that age always looking for some new phase or trend to get into, and the more different and strange it is, the more exciting" Dean said.
"Yeah, I understand that but still of all things to get mixed up into, I mean I was just getting used to the new grunge look and the weird drawings she has lately would be more relieved if she had joined some heavy metal band anything but an occult" Mrs. Travers said.
"Don't be too hard on her, ma'am, I personally Chloe is just trying to find herself, maybe I hope I don't overstep but I have to say that it's possible she feels like she's in Jess' shadow so she tries too hard to find her own individuality, plus she may feel you guys are being too overprotective because of what happened to with Jess and all at least that's some of what she told me during the time we talked to her" Sam explained.
Mrs. Travers just paused a bit seemed to be a bit in thought. "She really said that, we're too overprotective?" she asked.
Sam just nodded. "Well that's what she implied to me the first time I saw her" he told her.
"You know, that does make sense. Of course, I hope she understands that we don't expect her to be like her sister, nobody can be like our Jessica, and if we are a bit overprotective it's because we worry. She's all we got, and we don't want to lose her too, I mean every time she goes out the door, I can't help but think what if she gets hit by a car, or the building she's in gets caught on fire the way it did with Jess. They never even found out what caused the fire" Mrs. Travers said looking a bit sad.
"I understand, but maybe Chloe needs is a bit more freedom and just trust that she will be safe, I mean we can't just allow our lives be ruled by fear" Sam told her.
Mrs. Travers just smiled. "Sam, you are so wise, sometimes you seem wiser than me, but yeah, I know what your saying is true. It will just take a while for me and her dad to let go some, even though right now her judgements are quite questionable, but I do understand about letting her be her own person, we always try to do that" she said.
Just then Chloe came downstairs upon hearing their voices.
"Oh, my god, I was hoping you guys show up here today" she said as she came into the living room.
"They just drop in to check on you and say goodbye as they are leaving today" her mother told her.
"Really, guys you're leaving?" Chloe said not seeming too thrilled.
"Yeah, it's time we head out and go home, we've been here long enough and you're safe now from those losers" Sam said.
"Gosh, I knew I was expecting to you to leave eventually, but I was hoping you kind of stick around longer at least until, the police complete the investigation" Chloe said.
"Hey, we gave all our statements to the police, told them everything we know, and if they need us to come back in testify or something the cops has our number and so do you" Sam told her.
"Yeah, plus we need to get back to our business, we stayed too long already" Dean added.
"Well, I just wanted to say thanks again for saving my life, you guys are really lifesavers and I hope if you in California again please pay another visit" Chloe said.
"That we'll do" Sam told her. Mrs. Travers called her husband from upstairs, and he came down as she explained to him about Sam and Dean.
"Hey, well I never got to thank you guys again for saving our Chloe, I understand you guy need to be going but don't be a stranger okay" he told them. "We won't Mr. Travers" Sam said.
After chatting for a minute or two Mrs. Travers gave Sam and Dean both a goodbye hug and as did Chloe while Mr. Travers shook both of their hands as they all said their goodbyes. Then they all walked Sam and Dean to the front door as they were heading out.
"Hey, mom, dad mind if I have a little word with Sam before he goes?" she asked her parents.
"I guess that's okay, nice having you guys around and have a safe trip back home" said Mrs. Travers.
"We will, and it was a pleasure seeing you all again" Sam told them.
"Yeah, glad I got to meet you all too" Dean couldn't help but add in.
"You too, goodbye dears" said Mrs. Travers.
"Yeah, bye fellows" replied Mr. Travers as they both went back inside the house and closed the door leaving Chloe outside on the front door with Sam.
"Hey, I wait for you in the car, Sam anyway goodbye there Chloe" Dean said to her.
"By there Dean" Chloe replied as she waved to him a bit as he left to go the car and went inside.
Then Chloe turned to Sam. "I just wanted to say, I think I kind of get why you wanted to help there with the occult and with Drake" she told him.
"You do?" asked Sam wondering what she knew.
"Yeah, I think a part of it was about Jessica in a way" she asked.
"About Jessica, look Chloe…" Sam was about to say but she cut him off.
"Hey, look Sam, I get you did want to help me because that's the kind of guy you are in a sense, but I also think Jessica played a role, like you probably felt you couldn't save her in that fire even though it wasn't your fault but you could at least save her sister. And maybe it was fate in a way, you see I believe very much in fate and some things happen for a reason. So perhaps fate brought you back here for a reason and it was to help me with this occult in a way to find closure with Jessica" she explained.
Sam just paused so impressed and touched by her words that he didn't know what to say at first.
"What, what is it?" Chloe asked as Sam continued to remain silent looking at her as if he was in thought.
"It's just that you sound very much like someone I know" Sam told her.
"Oh, really, who is this someone?" she asked him.
"Somebody very close to me that means a lot to me" Sam explained.
"Sounds like someone special" Chloe replied.
Sam just nodded. "Yeah, she is" he said.
"Well, I hope it works out with you and this special person, it's good you found someone else and moved on" Chloe said. "I know" Sam said.
"Well, I just wanted to say thanks again and Sam and the best of luck, you deserve it" she told him.
"So do you, I just hope you dropped the whole occult thing for good now" he told her.
"Yeah, I'm not looking for any more occult, magic or demons or anything like that ever again. Still keep the grunge look though, it's makes me look cool. My parents had a field day when they found out about that group, and I had to swear to them up and down that no more demon-worshippers for me. I'll just stick to my gothic art for now, and maybe join an art group or something" she said.
"That definitely sounds like something much safer" Sam said.
Then Chloe looked sad again. "I'm still feeling bad about Drake, you know and that girl Ahnika. Drake was my friend and he's gone and Ahnika, even though I didn't know her too well, it's not fair that they got to lose their lives and I got to live. I will miss Drake and I feel so bad about his mom, I ought to pay her a visit someday and offer my condolences" she said.
"Yeah, I know it's hard, but you will get through it, I promise you that" said Sam.
"I guess anyone who understands it's you huh?" Chloe replied as Sam just paused remaining silent for a bit thinking about Jessica.
"It's good my parents are letting me take the day off of college, just for today and in a couple of hours, I'll heading to the police station to give my statement" she told him.
"That's good Chloe, that's good start" Sam told her.
"My mom will be going with me but I admit I was kind of hoping you would come with me too, but I understand that you need to get back, I think I can handle it fine with just mom there" said Chloe.
"That's good, and don't worry Chloe, I'm sure you're braver than you think, you'll do alright" Sam told her.
"Well, I guess you'll be going now that's all I wanted to say" Chloe said.
"Yeah, but one more thing, if you ever in serious trouble and really need me for anything, you can call me anytime, you have my number. Don't be afraid to look me up" Sam said.
"Well, I guess I should be honored, thanks again Sam and goodbye" she said as she gave Sam another hug and Sam just hugged her right back.
"Hey, Sam, come one time to get going!" Dean shouted from his car window as he was growing impatient.
"Yeah, I better being going now" Sam replied as he and Chloe stopped hugging each other.
"I will say, I'll kind of miss your brother there, he's quite a cutie for an old timer. Don't tell him I said that though" Chloe said smirking.
"Okay I won't" Sam said as he smiled right back laughing inside at the thought if her thinking Dean was a cutie.
"Take care, bye" Sam told Chloe one last time and she waved back at him as he turned to head to their car and went inside the passenger door.
"Gee, what took you so long, I thought it would be Christmas by the time we leave considering how long you were taking. What were you talking about that took so long anyway?" Dean replied a bit impatient.
"Oh, nothing, just clearing some things up that's all" Sam replied as Dean just rolled his eyes and, soon they drove off as they watched Chloe wave to them again and they waved back as she headed back inside the house.
They did get back at the motel where they phoned Adam and Charlie letting them know they are returning and chatted with them for while catching up on what the other was doing before they hung up. By noon, they had all their stuff packed up and were preparing to head back to Kansas, but Sam wanted to make one last stop first which was at Stanford campus as he phoned Peyton up and asked to meet her at the front entrance during her lunch break. They parked at the front entrance and Sam got out while Dean waited in the car again. He walked up the stairs to the front entrance and spotted Peyton standing just outside the doors of the main entrance.
"Hey, I just wanted to say goodbye as me and Dean are taking off" Sam said once he greeted her.
"Oh, well I'm glad you showed up as you did because I wanted to say goodbye to you too" she said.
Then after a quick pause she went on, "You know I finally did it, visit Jessica's grave" she told him.
"You did?" Sam asked.
"Yes, it was the day after we had lunch, I left the campus to go home and I just decided to drive by the cemetery and found her grave and I just talked to her a bit and said everything that was on my mind and said my goodbyes. I really regret not visiting there sooner but afterwards, I say I felt a like better, like I found some closure with her" said Peyton.
"That's great Peyton I'm glad you went up there too" Sam replied.
"I assume now that you are leaving you dealt with the issue you talked to me about?" she asked him.
Sam just nodded. "Yeah, I did, I think everything is going to be okay now" Sam told her.
"That's nice, well anyway, I hope you have a safe trip back and it was good seeing you again after all this time" said Peyton.
"It was good seeing you too Peyton" Sam said as the two gave each other a hug goodbye.
After they stopped, Peyton just gave Sam a nice kiss on the cheek.
"Sam, I'm glad you got to move on and find some happiness, good luck in your life wherever it takes you" she told him.
"You too, Peyton and I have to say it was nice talking to you, you were always a good listener I hope you find that certain happiness too, you deserve it" he told her.
"Thanks, the one good thing that's happening is Dr. Snyder will be getting out of the hospital soon and she will be back to teaching and me back being the assistant. I mean I love teaching and all but teaching a whole college course on your own can be quite draining sometimes. But one of these days I will be teaching my own class and I know I'll be up for the challenge by then" she told him.
"I'm sure you are up for that right now; you'll be great at whatever you do" Sam told her.
They soon said their goodbyes again and then Sam turned around and left waving to her one last time before she went inside the building. He then headed back to the car and got inside as Dean sat there waiting.
"Well, at least you didn't take so long this time" he replied.
"Let's just go home now" Sam said.
"Thought you never asked" Dean said as they drove off and, soon they were on the road as Sam pulled out his phone and called up Gwen.
