[h2]Esme Stirling[/h2]

Esme continued to try to read Dean’s face. It was clear he was trying to find his words. When he admitted to pulling a gun on her, she could hardly believe it. When he said he would explain, she was glad he would. She desperately needed an explanation after what she just heard. She looked back to Madison when Dean spoke to her, her mind was now spinning. She then looked at Sam as he spoke to Madison, taking in his words. She could feel how much his words had calmed Madison, much to her relief. 

Though she could still feel the fear radiating off of Dean and Sam, and it kept the ache in her chest going strong. Looking back at Dean, she caught the look he gave Sam. It was as if he didn’t want Sam to tell Madison he’d keep her safe. This confused her. Esme sighed heavily, looking between the three at the table. Something told her that something bad could come out of this whole thing. That was the last thing she wanted, since bad things seemed to follow her everywhere she went. 

She closed her eyes as tension was added to the mix, thoughts swirling around in her mind about what she heard and saw. She had completely missed Dean kicking Sam’s shin. She had suddenly lost her appetite, even if her growling stomach said otherwise. “I’m assuming you don’t want to explain here.” she said to Dean, her eyes remaining closed. [i]What a way to meet up after a long period of silence.[/i] she thought to herself. She had hoped that if they ever crossed paths, it would have been on better terms. This. This was almost painful, too painful for her liking. 


[h2]Sam Winchester[/h2]

Sam flinched when Dean kicked his shin, he looked at him seeing his glare. He shot a look back at him that said “What? You want her to run again?” before looking back at Madison. He knew Dean would have a problem with what he told Madison, but he didn’t care. He gave a small smile as she scooted closer to him and relaxed. He had gotten through to her. As she spoke, his eyes never left her, and he nodded to her words. “After what you did back at the house, it's kind of hard not to be scared of you.” he said softly. 

He looked over at Dean and Esme briefly before looking back at Madison. “We were scared. We were expecting to see a baby, not a young girl.” he explained. He looked over at Esme to see her reaction, but she didn’t seem to be listening as her eyes were closed. “I can see you don’t want to scare anyone.” he said, looking back at Madison. He sighed knowing that Dean wouldn’t like how he was talking to Madison, but he really didn’t want her to run again. As he spoke, he saw her look over at Esme before looking back at him. 

It was clear the woman had made an impression on Madison and if anything were to happen she’d probably run to her for help. Sam was pretty sure that Esme would fight them to keep her safe too. She seemed to have a connection with Madison in the short time they were together.
