CHAPTER TEN: WINTER'S AIR

You're not someone who enjoys the brisk air, nor the overwhelming heat in the summer. But even the weather in between, it never lasted for so long. Even when you are finally content with the cool air and the changing of the trees colors that you'd pass by on the road. No matter how much you wish the winter season would be over with, it seems like you're stuck. Driving in your truck without stopping gives you both a headache, but a sense of relief that you're no longer hauled up in a ugly or deteriorated motel.

After dealing with a disgusting and an extremely weird case with fake witches and a real one, it made you realize how much Dean actually hates witches. It was funny though, his disgust of them. But it made you feel weird? The confusion of why you felt weird had given you goosebumps, your stomach filled with queasiness, and your head to hurt. But you've brushed it all off and focused on the case and the demon, Ruby, who you and Stevie met during it. She was something else. Beautiful, strong and extremely cunning. The way Dean and her spoke to each other spoke to you, telling you definitely not to trust her. Even if you had no exact reason, her and Dean bickering is good enough.

Now, on the road, Stevie sits next to you in the passenger seat of your midnight blue pickup truck, blasting nineties music. You laugh as you listen to her sing along to some Red Hot Chilli Peppers song, her face turning red as she belts out unevenly.

It's times like this that give you a moment of pure contentment, peace away from the life. Nothing stays on your mind and all the problems are forgotten as the music plays, your sister singing or drumming her hands on the dashboard, along to music making you happy. Even if it's just for a second, or an hour, that's the only happiness you truly feel, and sometimes it scares you. Sometimes, it makes you feel like this is the only thing you're deserving of.

Suddenly, a blaring ring starts going off, interrupting the music and Stevie's voice. She lowers the radio, then takes a few deep breaths before opening her flip phone. Her eyes light up as she reads the name, and you glare at her suspiciously when taking your eyes off the road for just a second.

"Hey there Bobby." Stevie smiles as she picks up the phone. "You're on speaker. Y/N's driving."

"How's my favorite girls doing?" You can hear the smile coming from his end of the call.

"We're doing alright." You answer him. "How's our uncle bobby?"

"I'm good as ever. I just wanted to let you know I'm heading out on a case later today. Won't be home, but if you're around, feel free to let yourselves in. Stay around till I can get to see you both, and the boys if you're with them still."

"We appreciate that Bobby." You say, a smile playing on your lips. "Yeah, the boys are still with us."

"I hope you still have that spare key-"

"I do!" Stevie exclaims. "We're a few states away from you. I'm thinking maybe we'll get to you in two, three days tops if we stop by."

"Listen, you know I hate you two staying in motels. The boys are one thing, but...maybe going back to your old place ain't so bad."

"Bobby." You roll your eyes, even though he can't see you you know he'll sense it.

"I know you're adults now, but don't give me that tone. Y/N, Stevie...I know you can hold your own. Hell, you can take down some of these monsters without any help. But I just want to see you two have a place, a home where you can go to and not worry about anything else."
