Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling

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. What a way to meet up after a long period of silence. 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.

Sam Winchester

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.

Esme Stirling

Esme watched as Madison’s glare turned to fear before she slightly cut her eyes over at Dean as he spoke, giving a nod to his assumption. “Yes.” she replied. Her eyebrow lifted at his next words, wondering what he meant by them. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked down at the table. “We….. Haven’t known each other long enough to…... Learn much about the other.” she stated. She opened her mouth to answer Dean’s question, but closed it as Madison spoke first.

She lifted her gaze to her with wide eyes at her bluntness. A pain crept up within her chest that was almost unbearable. It was from the fear radiating off those around her. It now somewhat explained why she was alone and not easily trusting, and why she questioned her gun. Esme turned her full attention to Dean when Madison spoke to Sam. “You really tried to kill her?” she asked in a low tone. Her eyes searched his face and eyes to see if it was really true. She knew he was a shoot first and ask questions later kind of guy, but could he have really tried to kill her? Why were they afraid of her? She seemed harmless.

Sam Winchester

Sam had felt Madison flinch when he sat down next to her and watched as she scooted as far as she could from him. It proved that she saw him as much of a threat as Dean. He looked at Esme then back to Madison, noting how just talking to her seemed to calm Madison, even if she looked scared. He’s eyebrows shot up in surprise, just as Dean’s did when Madison spoke so bluntly and clearly. She was only a few hours old and talking like any other would. More surprise hit Sam when she turned to him and pouted, then spoke to him.

His face contorted into grief at her words. He turned towards her and looked down at her, his words catching in his throat. “I know you miss her.” he started softly, finding his words. “I know she trusted me and I gave her my word I’d keep you safe.” He looked at her and the pout she had on her face. It was hard to believe that she was born only a few hours ago. She looked so innocent and scared sitting there next to him, he knew he couldn’t bring himself to kill her.

He didn’t have it in him to kill someone so innocent even if they weren’t human. “I plan on keeping my word.” He gave her a warm smile to show he meant what he said, hoping she’d believe him and not try to run away with Esme.

Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling

Esme could see that Madison didn’t really know what she wanted, then saw the smile come to her lips as she said what she wanted. “That’s a good choice.” she smiled. She also noticed that the more they were together, the more Madison seemed to relax. If she could spend more time with her, she felt she could get this woman to open up to her. She was still curious about this woman and wanted to learn what she could about her. She placed the menu back where she got it and looked up for a waitress, but before she could make eye contact with one, she saw Madison’s expression change.

Her smile faded and was going to ask why, but the answer soon showed itself. The boys had shown up. Esme slid over as Dean slid into the booth next to her, while keeping her eyes on Madison. “I….. Thought so.” she replied in a calm and even tone. She kept her eyes on Madison, not being able to bring herself to look at Dean just yet. She sighed softly at his next question. Was he testing the waters? “Just talking…. We were getting ready…. To order something.” As she sat there, she could feel tension in the surrounding air.

She breathed in, trying to keep herself calm. She caught Madison’s glare at Dean and noticed her breathing had gotten faster. The fear coming from those around her hit her. It felt like being hit with a tidal wave. She focused on trying to keep it under control and not get the better of her as she sat there. “Madison?” she said to get the woman's attention. “You okay?” She looked across the table at her. She used her eyes to convey to her it was going to be okay and she wouldn’t let anything happen to her.

Her eyes left Madison briefly as Sam came and sat down next to Madison, then nodded in agreement to Dean. He was right, they had plenty to talk about. She leaned back in the booth so she could take in each of their faces without looking at them directly.

Sam Winchester

Sam followed Dean inside, listening as he spoke about Esme. Though wondered why he needed to keep his guard up if he said he trusted her. At that moment, he knew his plan to confront the young woman had gone out the window. It relieved part of him to know he wasn’t going in alone. When they reached the table he hung back as Dean took a seat next to Esme and talked to her. He noticed how she didn’t make eye contact with him, and talked in the same manner as Dean.

He looked over at the young woman, catching the glare she gave Dean and her breathing. He couldn't lie to himself. She was pretty damn scary. If they didn’t play this right, it could blow up in their faces and many could get hurt, including themselves. Sam looked over at Dean as he motioned for him to sit down next to the young woman. He knew Dean needed back up. Taking a breath, he slowly let it out and slowly sat down in the booth next to the woman. When Esme spoke to the woman, he looked over at her.

He took in the name she called her and the look she gave her. It was clear in the time the woman had gotten away from them; she had formed some type of bond with Esme. Sam looked over at Dean to see if he noticed what he did.

Supernatural - Hell On The Horizon

Esme Stirling

Esme pushed herself from her car at the invite to join the group, she followed the group up to the house and inside. She found a place to step off to the side as she watched Bobby come up and greet Sam with a hug, she couldn’t help but smile as she stood there. She then turned when Cason complained and gave a small laugh along with Annabeth, it was rather funny he found himself caught in yet another devil's trap. Since this wasn’t her place, she wasn’t going to do anything.

She turned and looked around the house from where she stood, several things stood out to her. She was sure she had been here before at some point. She tried to think hard to remember when that could have been, but nothing came to her. Esme was pulled from her thoughts at Annabeth’s question and Bobby’s threat to Cason, she smiled at Bobby’s response as he freed Cason from the devil’s trap. She turned away once again, she could feel the warmth and love for family within this house and it calmed her.

Not to mention she felt better that they were all in one place for the moment. She knew she hadn’t been with the group long, but she knew that they all had each other's backs, including her own. Esme crossed her arms across her chest and looked over at Cason, who wasn’t that far from her. “I’d watch your step while we’re here if I were you.” she whispered to him. “I think he just might carry out that threat he gave you.”

Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling

Esme watched Madison smiling at how she took everything in and kept glancing up to see how things went. She even gave a little laugh at her cheerful announcement of being able to do it. So childlike. she thought to herself. When Madison sat and pulled on the shoes she had given her, it surprised her to see that they somehow magically fit. She could have sworn her foot was a little bigger than hers. She shrugged it off as Madison stood and closed the car door gently and stood at her side.

She could see that Madison felt more at ease now that she was clothed. Those that passed went by without staring or saying a word, except for maybe a greeting. The wave of emotion she had felt had died off, and she could feel happiness coming off of Madison. At her whisper, Esme smiled more and put her left arm around her again to keep her close. “Okay.” she smiled. She led the way to the edge of the road and waited for a break in the cars. Once the break came, she led the way across the road and to the diner.

She opened the door and ushered Madison in, then headed over to a booth, removed her arm from around her, and sat down. As Esme waited for Madison to sit down, she grabbed a menu that rested on the wall of the booth. “Do you know what you want?” she asked warmly. She scanned the menu to see what they offered, then looked back at Madison. “I think I’m going to have a turkey burger.” she told her.

Sam Winchester

Sam didn’t respond to Dean, he knew he was right, and it caused a silent sigh to leave him. It was a risk he was willing to take to keep anyone around from getting hurt. When Dean’s phone buzzed, Sam cut his eyes over as Dean read the text he received and spoke a name. Esme? That’s the girl he used to keep in touch with, isn’t it? he thought to himself. The message seemed to have affected him in a way and it showed with the way he took the turn.

Sam watched Dean as they sped down the road only to slow down a couple of blocks later, he followed Dean’s gaze to the chevelle that was parked across from the diner. He kept quiet until Dean parked and spoke to him about Esme. “Yeah, it's the only lead we have right now.” he said before opening his own door. Sam got out and closed the door behind him, then followed Dean to the door. “Esme? That’s the girl you kept in touch with before she just dropped off, right?” he said looking into the diner.

He looked around the diner, his eyes landing on a woman that he remembered the description of vaguely. “She’s the one you met while on a case with dad, righ?” He looked over at Dean and could see that he was surprised by what he saw in the diner. Sam had to admit that he was surprised that this girl could even get close to the girl they were looking for after what had happened earlier.

Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling

Esme leaned against the side of the car, wanting to stay close by the car while Madison was in the backseat getting dressed. The way she looked at her was like she was studying her, as if she was seeing how she wore her own clothes. She shook it from her mind for the moment and pulled out her phone from her pocket. She then went to her contacts list. Scrolling through, she stopped on Dean’s name and number and stared at it. She debated on whether or not she should call him. She chickened out and opted for a text instead.

Dean,
In Sioux Falls at Main Street Diner.
Have a hunch you should check out if you’re nearby.

She hit send just as Madison pushed the door open looking for help with her belt and button on the shorts. She gave a smile to Madison as she tucked her phone back into her pocket, wondering if he’d actually come or just ignore it. But deep down, she knew he wouldn’t be able to turn down a case. “I can help with that.” she said warmly as she turned to her. She almost wanted to step in and do it for her, but wasn’t sure how she would take to that. So she decided she would try to explain how to do it.

“That little button.” she said, pointing to it. “Go into that little hole on the other side, then you pull up the zipper.” she smiled. “The belt.” she said pointing at it. “Goes around like this.” she lifted her shirt just above her belt to show her. “It goes through the loops on your shorts. Then you put the end through the buckle, then this little piece through the hole to hold it in place.” As she explained, she pointed to each piece she spoke of so Madison could follow along and do the action she explained.

“Now you 're all set.” She then pulled her shirt back down and turned to the road and looked at the small building across it. “That’s where we go to get you some food.” she said, pointing at the place. “When you’re ready. I’ll lock up the car and we can walk over.”

Sam Winchester

Sam continued to look out the window, scanning everything he could see as Dean spoke. He knew that his silence would catch his attention. “Yes, I realize that.” he said with a sigh. You could hear in his voice that he knew, but still hoped he wouldn’t have to. Yes, this woman had some serious power they hadn’t seen before, and it was scary, but that didn’t mean he wanted to kill her. At the mention of carrying an angel blade, he looked over at Dean. “Having a weapon in hand got us into this mess.” he told him.

“You really think I’m going to approach her with one? For all we know, she’ll know I have it and attack before I can even use it, then she’ll just run again.” He looked back out the window. “I’m better off going to her unarmed.” He knew it was risky to go without it, but he didn’t want to risk her sending out a blast and hurting anyone that was nearby.

Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling

As Esme watched Madison, she couldn’t help but wonder who this girl was. She seemed so childlike and she couldn’t understand why she was roaming around naked. When Madison spoke her name and said she liked it, she smiled warmly. As she spoke her smile faded a bit and her eyes lit up with surprise at the names Sam and Dean. [i]She couldn’t mean Sam and Dean Winchester, could she?[\i] she thought to herself. She was pulled from the thought when she hit with emotions she knew weren’t her own. She focused on Madison and took in her movements and posture.

Before she could ask if she was okay, Madison spoke about wanting the clothes and stepped up to her. She was glad that she could get through to the woman enough to trust her. A look of concern made its way to Esme’s face as she looked at Madison, she could feel what she was. She knew the feeling very well, heartbreak. “Alright.” she said with a small smile. “I have something in my car you can wear, it might be a little big though.” she told her. Esme slowly put an arm around Madison and led her to her car. Once there, she pulled out her keys and unlocked the door, then opened the back door.

“Sit right here. I need to get them from the trunk.” she told her with another smile. She then walked to the back of the car and opened the truck, grabbed her bag, and unzipped it. She dug through it and pulled out what she thought might fit Madison. She sighed heavily as she went through her clothes. If this woman had some sort of connection with the Winchesters, she knew she would have to get in touch with them. The only thing about it was, it had been so long since she had even talked to Dean.

Would he even answer if she were to call or text him? It looked like she would have to try while Madison got dressed. Zipping the bag back up and tossing it to the side, she gathered the clothes and shut the trunk. Esme then made her way back to Madison and held the clothes out to her. “These should work for now.” she smiled. “You can use the backseat to get dressed. I’ll shut the door to give you some privacy.”

Sam Winchester

Sam waited for Dean to get in the Impala. He sighed, knowing that his words had probably hit Dean rather hard, but it was the truth. When Dean got in and slammed the door, Sam was looking out the window. He didn’t look at him until he spoke and sighed heavily. “No, but I don’t see any other option right now.” he told him. “Especially if Cas isn’t answering prayers.” he continued. He hoped he could at least get her to talk to him, since he hadn’t brandished a weapon of any kind towards her. Yes, he was with Dean and she may see him as a threat too, but he had to at least try.

As they drove through town, he scanned the road and off to the sides for anything that didn’t seem to belong. He tried to remember what the girl looked like, but didn’t get a clear view of her before being hit with the shock wave. Almost as if Dean had read his mind, he told her what she looked like, even if it was rather vague except for the being nude bit. It would be hard to miss a nude woman walking down the street. He gave a nod and continued to look for her as they drove down the road. As far as he could tell, she had done nothing or hadn’t gone through here.

Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling

Esme had grown a little concerned by the woman’s scowl, but slightly relaxed when her scowl had faded. She watched as the woman stepped up to her and took the blanket from her and wrapped it around herself. She listened as the woman spoke. Esme’s features softened even more at her words. Her eyebrows went up at the mention of her gun and how the last person with a gun tried to kill her. How did she know she had one? This girl obviously wasn’t a normal human. Taking a breath, she relaxed a bit more, to show she was true to her word about not hurting her.

“I give you my word I’m not here to hurt you.” she told her. “I have the gun for protection from those that wish to harm me.” she continued. Her tone never changed. She kept it warm and friendly. She didn't want to scare this woman, especially since she could see she wasn’t normal. She noticed how the woman’s expression didn’t change, then heard her stomach growl before she introduced herself. She couldn’t help but let her smile grow. “Madison.” she repeated. “That’s a lovely name.” she smiled a bit more. “My name is Esme.”

Esme looked around them, then looked back at Madison with a smile still on her lips. “What do you say we get you some clothes and then something to eat?” she asked her. “And don’t you worry. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” All she had to do was get Madison to her car for the clothes, then from there, she could take her to get something to eat. Even if she wasn’t sure what this girl was, she couldn’t bring herself to just leave her here.

Sam Winchester

Sam watched Dean roll his eyes at his question. He should have known better than to ask if he did. He opened the passenger door, then looked over the roof of the Impala at Dean as he spoke. His brows knitted together at his words. The thought of having to kill the woman was hard to swallow. He couldn’t believe that either of them could do it. Sam balled his fists and felt almost helpless in this situation. “I know she’s not human, Dean. But can you honestly bring it upon yourself to kill an innocent girl, human or not?”

He sighed heavily and looked at the roof of the Impala as Dean continued then looked back at him. “You’re not the only one that made that promise. I made it too.” he told him. He ran a hand through his hair as he closed his eyes. “I don’t know either.” he admitted. “The important thing right now is to find her before she ends up hurting anyone. When we do, we’ll bring her back here and then try to figure something out.” he said, opening his eyes. “We can’t afford to sit on our hands on this. And I may have to be the one to approach her since you took a shot at her.” he added. Sam then got into the Impala and closed the door once his feet were in.

Marabella

As Bella stood alongside her father and sisters, she couldn’t help but smile as she saw the smiles exchanged between her younger sister and one of the princes. She watched as she went over and talked with him and his sister. Knowing her sister, it was so she could get to know them. She scanned the room, taking in all the faces that she could see from where she stood. She sighed silently, knowing that she couldn’t stand there forever and she would eventually have to talk to those that had accepted her father's invitation.

As she tried to take control of her nerves, she pushed herself to walk around the room and greet those there. As she passed or addressed, she’d curtsy and give a warm greeting, saying it pleased her they were here and was pleased to meet them. As she went around, she had a warm smile on her lips.

Let's hope he doesn't find out about her other assets, Marabella(which is a pretty name btw) ears and tail, she could be worth more on the black market.

@HEAVY METAL

Thank you. I’ve always really like he name and just had to use it.
You’re right though. She does her best to keep them hidden as best as she can around anyone she doesn’t know. But there is always the possibility of them being seen.
