Let Me Down Slowly Δ SPN [ 2 ]

chapter fifty-one

After Sam and Dean returned to the bunker after finding out Charlie was missing, Sam informed Evie that the redhead didn't make it. Evie immediately burst out crying as Sam tried his best to comfort her while trying to hold his own tears in.

Now, the brothers just got done making a pyre for Charlie and put her wrapped up body on it. Dean throws a match on it as Evie hugs her dad from the side, burying her face in his side so she doesn't see the fire as he keeps one arm around her.

"Charlie. We're gonna miss you. You were the best. And I'm so sorry--" Dean cuts his brother off.

"Shut up. You got her killed, you don't get to apologize."

"We were trying to help you." Sam says.

"I didn't need help. I told you to leave it alone." Dean says.

"What was I supposed to do, just watch you die?" Sam asks.

"The Mark isn't gonna kill me." Dean states.

"maybe not, but-- when it's done with you, you won't be you anymore. Dean, you and Evie are all I got. So of course, I was gonna fight for you because that's what we do. And listen, I had a shot--"

"Yeah, you had a shot. Charlie's dead. Nice shot." Dean coldly states, both his tone and words causing Evie to hold onto her dad a little tighter.

"You think I'm--" Sam stops, trying to keep his tears in. "You think I'm ever... gonna forgive myself for that?"

"You wanna know what I think? I think it should be you up there, not her. This thing, with Cas and the book, ends now. Shut it down before somebody else gets hurt. You understand me?"

"And what about you?" Sam asks after a few moments.

"Oh, I'm gonna find whoever did this. And I'm gonna rip apart everything and everyone that they ever loved. And then I'm gonna tear out their heart." Dean says.

"Is that you talking or the Mark?"

"Does it matter?"

Dean walks away as Sam watches him walk away.

Dean hasn't been back to the bunker since they burned Charlie's body. Sam went to deal with Rowena, leaving Evie at the bunker.

Currently she's in the kitchen, making a sandwich. She hears a loud bang making her jump. She starts to go to the main room, curious and worried, freezing at the unfamiliar voice.

"Hello? Anybody in here?" She hears the voice call out. Her eyes widen, knowing if they broke in, it's probably not a good person.

Evie quietly and quickly makes her way down the halls, reaching her room and hiding in the trunk. She keeps quiet as she sometimes lightly hears footsteps or loud noises.

She hears her door open making her freeze. She hears somebody rummage around in her room and soon it stops for a few seconds before the trunk opens.

"Oh... well, what do we have here?" The man asks, smirking. "Got a Little Winchester, huh?"

Eldon roughly grabs her hair, pulling her out of the chest as she cries out in pain. He keeps one hand entangled in her hair, using his other to punch her in the face making her almost fall, if it wasn't for him holding her up by the hair.
