@ActRaiserTheReturned I guess not. The flow seems to just kinda happen.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

Bobby and Dean

“Alright, then. I’ll go and get some stuff together. We’re gonna need lots of supplies if we’re gonna summon…well…everything.”, Bobby clapped his hands and slapped Dean on the shoulder. He then turned to leave, before stopping, just before the wall, “And Sam…be careful. Demons might know something, but they may not be ready to talk. No groups, if you can help it.”

Bobby then walked to the door and exited.

Dean turned to Sam, shrugging his shoulders, “I guess I’ll just…stay here and babysit? I’m not sick. I’m not weak. I’m alive and well.”

Annabeth

Annabeth nodded, taking a deep breath, taking in what Natalia was telling her. Demons were something they apparently had in common. Who would have thought? Demons. She held her hands, almost linking their fingers as she grounded herself. She was alive and this was real.

Taking another deep breath, she nodded again, “My dreams…well…the voices started when I turned twenty-three. No warning or anything. I started hearing the um…demons talking about Hell and Dean. I brushed it off at first as just stress, but they got worse. My hands would get hot. My brain would feel like it was melting.”

She closed her eyes and sighed, “But the visions hadn’t started until I met Sam. Until then, they just wanted me to find him…but never said why.”

Dean glanced over at her with his eyebrows raised. Sure, they had rolled in the hay a few times, but she liked him? Hey. That was something. Picking up the phone on the bedside table, he called out to a pizza place. On instinct, he ordered the same pizzas he and Mika had gorged on, back in the day.

When the pizza showed up, faster than he expected, he jumped up excitedly. He ran to the door and paid the driver, giving him a nice tip, “Dinner is served, m’lady…”

He danced a bit as he turned around and threw the box on the table. He smirked at the tv and pointed, “By the way…I need to get me some of them boots. I mean, just look at him.”

He was trying to play nice. He was trying not to ask the fifty questions he wanted to ask, or make things awkward enough for her to leave. If acting silly and being casual was what he needed to keep her around long enough to break that ice, he would do it. He also didn’t want her to know that he fully planned to pull out a talking board while she was there. Nope. That was a different conversation.

Realizing he had zoned out, he shook himself and smiled again, “Let’s eat.”

“Um. I guess first question would be…where are you from? Surely you had a home once.”, Anna started, as she opened the door to her room. She stepped into her room, putter her snacks on he table closest to the window. She peeled her jacket off, revealing her bare arms underneath, along with her bandaged wrists. One wrist was covered by a black bandana. Itching at the plain bandaged one, she threw her jacket over the back of a chair and turned to him.

“I don’t remember ever having a home, other than this…and the car. My dad died, when I was a few months old. It’s always just been me and my mom, and whatever guys she decided to bring home after a job.”

Dean smiled at her shared disdain, currently, for his dad, “Yeah. I figure he’s already started drinking by now. Between Sam talking his head off and begging to go….he’s definitely already at least one sheet to the wind. No worries for now. And I believe, with that tiny body, you could always hide under the bed.”

He chuckled, picked up the controller to the TV and flicked it on, before throwing himself onto her bed, his hands behind his head.

“Dr. Sexy M.D…a pizza, and you not running off the first chance you get. That sounds peachy. Hell, I might be going off on my own. But what I know is that I’m going to get to the bottom of all of this, and I refuse to let you run off, when we have a lot to talk about…and…I kinda like you, a little bit.”

———

Biting her lip with a bright smile behind it, she handed him his soda back, “So, tell me about Sam…”

She started walking, gesturing for him to follow her. Something about him made her curious, and not in a romantic way. She was genuinely curious about this boy. He seemed to be her age. He didn’t seem phased by the life they seemed to live together, and maybe, just maybe, he knew what her mom did for a living that made her move so much.

“I wanna know everything, Mr. Enigma.”, she giggled, acting completely out of her own nature.

Dean shook his head, “I don’t know, man. I mean…I thought maybe it was a demon, but I’ve never heard of a demon that brands your ass while he rides you out. Whatever it is, it can’t be anything good.”

He ran an exasperated hand down his face with a sigh, “I’m wondering if maybe we could summon this thing. You know, a little razzle-dazzle with every symbol we can find…surely something will pop out of the veil.”

Bobby showed up from behind the wall, waving them both off when Dean turned to him, about to ask for privacy, “Don’t start, princess. I’m in. Maybe there’s word on the street about what’s going on out there. It’s been radio silence…until yesterday. So, demons must be talking. Hell, all the biggest and baddest must be talking.”

Dean nodded, “Yeah. I’ll go with Bobby to figure out what we can find…you go and see what you can suss out of a demon or two. You cool with that?”

————

“Um…y-yeah. I’m fine. Um…s-so you know those visions?”, Annabeth started, blinking really fast and then glancing back toward the wall the brothers were standing behind. She shook her head, like shaking off a bad feeling and then turned back to Natalia.

“I um…I died. S-S-Sam was there and the voices…”, she stammered a bit, flexing her hands to further prove to herself that what she was seeing was real, “They said it’s the end. I don’t have visions. I don’t…see…things. I hear them.”

She shrugged, “Maybe it’s nothing."

I figure Wolvena, you're good to post whenever.

I'm glad you're doing good, darlin. <3

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

Heyyyy!!!! I’m doing great!

What are we thinking is our posting order today?

Supernatural-My Battle (FuriePhoenix+AnnaBeth)

Dean smiled warmly at the joke about her hair and then shrugged, playing into it. He released her, stepping back before they ended up in trouble again. It was the path of least resistance but a path that should be barred if they were going to work together.

“Just stay...that’s all I’m sayin’. It’s my first time alone in a while. The monsters under the bed might get a little rowdy.”

He raised his eyebrows and held out his hands to try and be convincing.

“Plus, I have a cable package. We can handle the business with Mi-...with um ghosts later.”

—————-

“That sounds super familiar.”, she scoffed, looking out toward the parking lot. She noticed the Impala and pointed.

“Your dad even drives the same type car as my mom and her friends. I’m not really allowed to go anywhere with her either. Apparently her job is like...top secret or something.”, and there it was, the connection. The pity for Sam came creeping in, like other kids she had met while traveling. She frowned slightly, having broken her own rule about talking to strangers.

“Hey um...I’m gonna head back. Wanna hang out?”, she asked against her better judgement. She wanted to learn more about this job, but also, she just didn’t wanna be alone. Her pouty blue eyes turned upward from under her hair as she asked, before she reached forward and grabbed his soda, popping it open and taking a drink.

AnnaBeth and Dean

Dean was surprised by the small kiss but smiled anyway. At least one thing seemed sane, in all this. He followed Sam away from the girls, wanting to reach out and grab the younger, yet much larger man as he pushed them both toward their conversation area. Once there, he placed his hands on his hips.

“What the hell is going on, here, man? I mean...that was a lot. I just came back from Hell and that still made my head hurt.”, he closed his eyes tightly only to open them and peer up at his brother, “Something ripped me out of Hell. And...whatever it was left this.”

He pulled his arm from his jacket, pulling his tshirt sleeve up and revealing the handprint scar.

AnnaBeth watched Sam walk away, her hands fidgeting as she did so. He looked oddly familiar, on top of everything. But considering she remembered very little about her childhood, even if they had met before...she probably couldn’t pinpoint it. Tearing her eyes away as he disappeared with his brother, she turned to the girls and took a deep breath.

“I’m AnnaBeth...um some people call me Anna. I’m sorry for what happened back there. Believe it or not...that’s new.”

She gave a nervous laugh. Just as she did so, her face went blank as a vision came across her mind. She was in a school, and she couldn’t breathe. The face in front of her, belonging to the person holding her off the ground by her throat, was not familiar. But the voice ringing out her name in the back ground was...

Sam.

She heard a snap, before her mind pulled her out of the vision like a wormhole, whispering the entire time.

“Should have known...Destruction follows the Winchesters...The end. This is the end.”

Coming out of the vision completely, she realized she was breathing heavy and her eyes were burning. Blinking, she looked around at the women. She was still safe...

Dean stood and grabbed her bag, ripping it from her hand. He then grabbed her arm, his hand sliding down to her own, “I didn’t mean you couldn’t stay…The door is locked. My dad doesn’t know and probably won’t care to check on me. He knows I’m pissed. So, you’re fine here until morning. You’re more likely to be seen out there trying to get your own place…so sit…”

He tossed her bag back onto the floor and pulled her toward him. He then thought about her question, biting the skin on his lip. He shook his head.

“I don’t know what to believe. I mean…I can’t keep living like this, but if there’s some weird cosmic douchery going on, and she’s alive, I feel like the universe owes it to me. But yes…I feel like she’s still around, in one way or another. I’m just not sure what to do with that feeling…”, he pushed a loose hair behind her ear, smirking.

“In the meantime, I guess you’re her ghost…”

———————-

Anna felt his name ring out like a bell. It was the first human contact, outside of her mom and the people they traveled with that she had been privileged to in a long time. She laughed lightly, still checking him over as she stood. She then pushed away from the machine, moving over for Sam, “Three weeks, actually. And judging by the fact that she’s not back yet, I’m assuming mom is dumping me here for another week.”

She smirked and nodded her head about his family, “Families…Don’t you ever wish you could just get away from it all? I mean…are their problems really ours? I think I do…but…here I am. Still eating the same delivery pizza and cheap vending machine food. I guess it’s not that easy to take care of yourself…without hope that someone else is there for you.”
