Supernatural-My Battle (FuriePhoenix+AnnaBeth)

Dean gasped lightly, his eyes welling up in what felt like acid tears as Bobby confirmed everything. He didn’t move, couldn’t move, as he stared at the older man with wide and tortured eyes.

“You gotta be kidding me…”, he scoffed, his face twisting a bit as a sob left his throat, “All this time? All this time…”

He clenched his teeth together through another sob, and looked down at his glass, his fingers tapping against it lightly. He had been with Kenzi off and on ever since Mika had ‘died’. It was the most toxic relationship he had ever had, but something about it always seemed familiar. Her kiss seemed familiar. Her fingers felt familiar. Hell, even her eyes, as different as they were…felt familiar.

Sighing loudly, he collected himself, staring at Bobby, “I um…I assume she’s not here, right now. I think. I um…I think I want to wait for her. Enough is enough of this.”

He sat the glass down on the table beside him, and stood, clapping Bobby on the shoulder as he passed him. It was his way to let him know that while disappointed, he wasn’t angry with him. He ascended the stairs slowly, the necklace hanging from his hand again as he prepared to come face to face with the woman that was two totally different beings to him.

“C’mon Dean…”, he whispered, as his legs began to get heavier as he walked, a response to a mixture of relief and absolute anguish.

Dean Winchester

Dean nodded slowly as they helped him up and into the room. He lightly shrugged them off, looking around at his own hands and arms that were full of glass and mostly just cut up. His hands were still shaking, which was nothing a bit of whiskey couldn’t fix. His mind then went back to Mika telling him she was going to summon this thing with he and Bobby. She shook his head, “Mika. I don’t want you getting involved with whatever this is. We have no idea what we’re walking into, here. It could be literally anything…”

He stepped into the room again, looking around at how shattered everything was. To his happiness and surprise, the whiskey Sam had in the room was still sitting on the table, knocked over but still intact. He stepped over to the table and picked the bottle up, as well as a plastic cup nearby, his hand shaking so hard he could hardly hold it still.

He poured a bit into the cup, spilling more than he poured, and took a drink with a long sigh. They were going to kill this thing, or at least find out what the hell it wanted. But the idea of coming face to face with this thing, and possibly going back to hell, which he remembered every detail of was terrifying.

“We um…we really shouldn’t leave Bobby in the car. He’s ready to…to go…”, he shivered out, his nerves slowing a bit with alcohol. He held up his arms and shrugged, trying to look tough, “I’m fine. Really.”

Annabeth

Annabeth nodded at him asking if she was okay. She shook her head free of the last of the vision, and took a deep breath, his touch calming her like usual. As they left the diner, she realized where the school was, based on the visions and voices in her head. Turning toward the direction she felt, she turned to Sam.

“Any idea why she would send us to a school that is literally down the road?”, she asked, pointing toward a school sign directly down the street from them.

She could feel the power coming from within, and she decided against telling Sam. Instead, she brushed her hand against his arm, and took a deep breath, “Do you have anything to kill them with? I mean…I can do it."

Samael

Samael stood in the cafeteria of the closed elementary school, stretching his wings as he stared around at the demons near him. He hated working with these disgusting animals, but it was a means to an end. The quicker he could take care of the problem, the quicker he could get back to heaven, and worry less about them…and more about himself.

Yes, he was petty. It was part of his charm.

He smirked as a demon stepped up in front of him, thoroughly brainwashed to work for him, for the time being, “Did you make sure the doors were unlocked? I want to make this as easy as possible.”

“Yes, sir. They should be arriving soon, and we will take her…should be quick and easy, considering. I have some guys who have been watching the girl. She doesn’t have a clue who she is, or what she is, as far as we can tell.”, the demon explained, his face blank as he spoke. Samael nodded, laughing with a bright smile.

“And the Winchester?”, he asked.

“They left together, but it’s the younger of the two. We can dispatch him, quickly, and without any of your kind to back him up.”, the demon explained, fear on his face as he did so.

“Do not underestimate his effect on your kind. Trust me. I’ll be back to care for the poor boy, but not a hair on the girl’s hair shall be harmed…got it?”, Samael snapped, causing the demon to nod, “Good. Deal with it, and bring her to me alive. I want to watch the life drain from her eyes…you know…for the prophesy.”

With a flutter of wings, he disappeared.

Dean poured himself some whiskey, definitely needing it for this conversation, before holding up the necklace in his free hand. He kicked back the shot of whiskey, and dangled the necklace from his hand.

“He says that Mika is alive.”, he blurted out, laying the necklace on the desk beside the whiskey bottle. He smiled and gave a disbelieving scoff, pouring two glasses this time, “…he says that…Kenzi…is Mika. You can see why I would be a little…concerned by that.”

He kicked back his second glass, and pointed at Bobby, “So, I’m asking you, in all your wisdom and your inability to lie to me, especially since you’re halfway through this bottle…”, he paused and stepped forward.

“Is Mika alive?”

At the mention of Sam, Dean sighed again, the worry and pain creeping up in his throat. He shook his head, “He left. He and dad had a falling out, and he’s gone, Bobby…”

A single tear fell from his eye as he explained the circumstances, stepping forward to let himself into the house. He sighed once again, and it dawned on him that he couldn’t just ask Bobby about what was going on, even though the necklace was still wrapped firmly around his hand.

“Um…do you wanna have a drink?”, he asked in a broken voice, “After that fight…I need a drink, or twelve. And um…I have a few questions about something Sam said.”

He could already tell that Bobby had been night capping, either winding down to get ready for bed, or get ready for his night shift watching the phones. It gave him a bit of courage, “About Mika.”

Supernatural-My Battle (FuriePhoenix+AnnaBeth)

Dean sighed when Sam told him he couldn’t stay, knowing that it was going to be a long drive with his dad, until Sam inevitably came back to them. He had never been on his own. He wouldn’t make it on his own. But as Sam became even more heated, and shoved their dad off of him, Dean narrowed his eyes, intrigued.

“Sam what are you…”, he started, as it dawned on him what Sam was saying. He caught the necklace, holding up in his hand. It was Mika’s. Kenzi was Mika…

“Sam wait! Stop!”, he screamed in the darkness, attempting to run after him, before John’s hand came to his shoulder, holding him back.

“Let him go.”

“Get off me. You know…he might be right. I think I’m gonna go spend some time at Bobby’s.”, Dean snapped, staring John down. He had tears in his eyes, “You need to figure out how to live with yourself…if something happens to Sammy.”

——

Somewhere along the road, Dean hitched a ride to Sioux Falls. It wasn’t as if they were far, anyway. He stared out the window the entire way, thinking over what Sam had said. This wasn’t just a hunch. This was something he had thought about as well, and now…well…now he wanted answers.

If there was anyone who had answers, it was Bobby Singer. As he dropped to his feet out of the truck, he grabbed his bag, the necklace clutched in the other hand. Carefully, he walked up the way through the junkyard, reaching Bobby’s door. He pressed the doorbell, and took a deep breath.

“Oh really?!”, John screamed back at Sam, stepping toward him. He had tears in his eyes, the disappointment palpable as he moved. Dean placed a hand on his Dad’s shoulder, a little more firm this time. But John didn’t stop, “You know? I’ve always tried to take care of you. I’ve tried, Sam. You never knew your mother, and I was aware of that. I was aware that none of this meant as much to you as it did to us…but walking out on your family for YOURSELF! You disappoint me boy…”

“Alright, enough! Sam…get in the car. You’re not going anywhere. This is ridiculous.”, Dean chimed in, shoving John roughly toward the car. As John recovered from the shove, Dean pointed a finger at Sam, “I’m trying to back you up, here. But don’t do this. This is a bridge you don’t want to burn…and I’ve lost enough, man.”

“This isn’t about you!”, John screamed, walking swiftly to Sam and grabbing both sides of his jacket, pulling his face close as he spoke, “Go, if you want. I’m done with you. But if you leave, now…don’t you EVER come back!”

“Dad…”, Dean muttered, his voice catching in his throat, childish fear creeping back up into his mind, “Dad, don’t do this…Sam. Tell him. Tell him you’ll stay, man.”

@Wolvena Well they will be back together traveling around to the seals, but there are things that have to be cemented…like Castiel and the army of angels roaming around. Lol

So, I figure the best two to deal with the first angel stuff and for them to know about Anna’s condition would be Natalia and Esme. Gives substance to post for, too lol

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

@Wolvena I'm loving your posts as well.
I have something big planned for Anna, that's gonna be kinda sad for a second, but it involves the note Ruby left. There will be plenty to reply to with that, once I figure out which angle I wanna play with it.

The next move for Sam and Anna is supposed to be a milk run with a demon. I figure they will be alone, and we're going to shotgun the shit out of it (pretty quick posting between Furie and myself) to get through it if Natalia and Esme want to hang back, or maybe try and find a different hotel...all things considered.

The Castiel coming to them arc is going to happen pretty fast. Anyone want me to bring Samael to them? Natalia and Esme, I mean?

1.5 years later

John pulled the Impala to the side of the road, near a bridge and caused Dean to jolt forward with a groan.

“What the hell do you mean you want to leave?!”, he screamed as he shut the car off, opening his door to get out. Dean panicked, stepping out of the Impala to try and intercept his dad before he could reach Sam. He grabbed John the second he stepped out and started for the backseat door.

“Dad that’s enough! We can talk about this! As a family. We can talk about all of it, but you’re not touching him.”, Dean screamed, echoing through the empty darkness. John shrugged his arm off, raising a fist as if to punch Dean, “Do it, if it’ll make you feel better. But we’re going to talk about this…”

“If he wants to go to college, he can find one…while working. He doesn’t get to run away. That’s never been an option. This is the life. The job is HIS life.”, John screamed back, his rational brain obviously shut off by Sam’s request to be dropped off, for good, “And you…I don’t want to hear from you about how much this family means to you, after you specifically went against what I asked you to do with that girl. She poisoned your mind! “

Dean sighed, knowing that the attack was going to be on one of them or the other. He would rather it be him, than Sam.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

Dean Winchester

Dean was shivering, the memory of digging himself from his grave flooding back into his head as the familiar sound pierced his ears. His ears were both bleeding, a small drip landing on Mika’s hand as she pulled him up. He groaned under her, trying to shake himself out of the intrusive thoughts enough to speak.

“I um…That was the same thing that happened to me at the gas station…”, he whispered, looking down at all the glass in both his and Mika’s hands and arms. He grabbed her hands, looking them over, “Oh no. Your hands…”

He was in shock, his hands shivering so hard that he could barely hold onto her hand, showing the trauma he was able to push down most of the time. He looked up at Bobby with questioning eyes.

“My guess? Whatever pulled you out is trying to get you back for some reason.”, Bobby replied, his face sympathetic, “The girls can clean up here…why don’t we go find out what this thing is? Take a second to get yourself together.”

Bobby knew not to baby Dean. Hell, he was the one who taught the boy to push down his emotions, if they got in the way, until he was drunk.

“I’ll go wait in the car.”, he muttered, crunching over the glass in the hall as he walked toward the door.

Annabeth and Ruby

Ruby quickly exited the diner, her boots clacking on the floor as she disappeared into the darkness without a single word more. Annabeth turned back to Sam, staring up at him and then at the paper.

“She seemed nice enough. At this point, I’m not really surprised that people don’t want to be around me. I almost killed my boyfriend.”, she muttered, shrugging her shoulders a bit. She smirked, and pointed at the paper, “Didn’t she want us to go…there?”
Her eyes faded to white suddenly as a small rumble was felt under their feet. It was a reaction she had no control over, as she looked toward the hotel. Flashes hit her mind, more flashes of a school, a man in a trench coat, black eyes, and then blood.

Gasping, she came out of the visions, and her eyes changed back to normal, “Um…Sorry…”
