Hunter's Shadow

Chapter twenty two

"I was so close to her. I could've touched her. But, Derek wasn't strong enough to hold the connection, " Jack explained. Hearing this you realized that Jack didn't kill Derek, and while you were glad about that. You were still worried since someone or something still killed Derek, either for information or just for fun.
"Wait you didn't burn him out?" Sam asked.

"No, I stopped Derek, he wasn't strong enough, but he knew someone who was. Kaia, she's the key. " Jack answered. Your father and uncle looked at you to confirm that he was telling the truth.
"It's okay he's being honest, " you said before they could say anything. "I've missed you, " you gave Jack a hug since you really had missed him. He was surprised by it but didn't force you away. "Dad I saw Kaia run this way, maybe we can catch her, " Jack was shocked by your words. The last time he checked you didn't know that Sam was your father, but now you were practically attached to his hip.

"Does she know?" Jack asked Dean. He was the only one who hadn't said anything, mostly because he was shocked that his mother was still alive. Ever since he saw her sacrifice herself by pushing Lucifer through the portal. He thought she was a goner for sure, apparently, he was wrong.
"Yeah Y/n knows, " Dean responded. You overheard what your uncle and Jack were discussing, hoping you weren't in trouble or anything you spoke up.
"What are you guys talking about?" You asked.

"Y/n I know you have questions, but we have to find Kaia, I promise I will answer all your questions later okay, " your Dad said to you.
"Okay, " you responded. As much as you wanted to continue figuring everything out, you wanted to meet your grandmother so much more. Minutes later you were in the backseat of the impala while your Dad talked on the phone.

"Yep, all right thank you," he said hanging up. "Cops are looking for Kaia, too. We gotta find her fast." He continued. You wanted to say something but figured it was best to remain quiet.
"You were right, about Mom. You were right, This whole time, we should've been looking for her." Your uncle said. You could feel the waves of determination and anger coming from him.
"Dean I was just hoping I didn't actually know, " Your dad responded.

"We find her, no matter what it takes, " Dean answered. He noticed that you were being quiet and asked if you were okay.
"Just surprised I guess, " you answered. "Jack are you okay?" He hadn't said much either. You figured it was because he was upset that Sam and Dean thought he had killed someone.
"Jack?" Sam asked when Jack didn't answer.

"You thought... You both thought that I could do that, that I could kill Derek." Jack answered. His voice was shaky and it made your heart hurt. You didn't want him to think that you thought he was evil, you knew he wasn't.
"No it wasn't that, " you told him.
"Jack, we, um... We didn't know what happened, " Sam added on. You were grateful that your dad was backing you up.
"We figured, m-maybe it was an accident or– or..." He trailed off.

"Like the security guard?" Jack asked. Dean explained how they thought he went looking for his father. You flinched a bit at the mention of the devil's name but overcame your fear when Jack said that Lucifer meant nothing.
"You, Castiel– you're my family, " he declared. You felt your heart flutter at those words but now wasn't the time for that. Dean said that Jack did good and that they needed to find Mary no matter the cost.

"You okay you've been quiet back there?" Sam asked you.
"Hmm oh sorry just lost in thought, " you answered. Sam figured that you had gotten scared when you heard the devil's name, but before he could even reassure you. Jack held his head in pain, you wanted to ask him what was wrong but then you heard voices in your head.
"We have the girl, and the Winchesters have the nephilim, "
"Dad its angel radio, " you told him. "I think they have Kaia, "
"She's right and I know where, " Jack explained once the voices stopped.
