That's The Hunter's Life

Chapter 10

When Dean got back into car Nova opens her eyes and looks at him with a smile.

"Is it taken care of?"

"Almost." He said as he drove to the hotel.

"Wait, Dean what's this black stuff by your ear?" She rubbed her finger on it but he moved his head away as he stayed focused on the road.

Nova heard Dean's phone vibrate so she messages Sam with her own.

"I think something is up with Dean. We're heading back to motel, I think."

When they got there Dean walked in and sat down on the bed but Nova waited outside. When Sam and Garth got there they walked up to her.

"He's inside."

They then all went inside but when they walked in,  Dean stood up and aimed a gun at Sam.

"Dean!" Nova said shocked.

"You should have looked for me when I was in purgatory."

"Come on Dean, sweetie." Nova walked slowly towards him.

Sam looked at her then at Dean "I know it's not you in there pulling the strings."

"Shut up." Garth started to pull his knife out so Dean quickly aimed the gun at him, "Don't!" He aims the gun back at Sam, "You never wanted this life. Always blamed me for pulling you back into it."

Sam shook his head, "That's not true. "

"Really? Cause everything you've ever done since you climbed into my ride has been to deceive me."

"Dean, that's not true." Nova said softly.

"And that's Bullshit." Dean Gruffed.

"What so you want me to say? That I've made mistakes? I've made mistakes Dean."

"That's not Dean, Sam."

"Shut up!" Dean roared which caused Nova to flinch.

"Mistakes? Well let's go through some of Sammy's greatest hits, shall we? Drinking demon blood. Check.  Being in cahoots with Ruby. Not telling me you lost your soul." Dean took a couple steps closer to Sam. "Or how about running around with Samuel for a whole year, letting me think that you were dead while you were doing all kinds of crazy. Those aren't mistakes Sam. Those are choices!"

"Dean sweetie, please put the gun down. You don't want to do this."

"And you." Dean aims the gun at her, "You let me believe he was dead. You could have told me he was alive but you didn't Nova!"

"I know and I'm sorry but it wasn't my place, wasn't my responsibility, to tell you."

"I should so be mad at you but I'm not angry with you because you're right. You weren't obligated to tell me. I don't think I could ever be angry with you. " He points the gun back at Sam, "It was his responsibility as my brother to tell me."

"All right. You said it. You both played a little fast and loose."

"Yeah, I might have lied. But never once betrayed you."

"Dean." Nova put her hand on his shoulder.

"Shut up Nova, this between Sammy and me." He says to her then back at Sam, "I never once left you to die! And for what, a girl? You left me to die for a girl?!"

"We thought you were dead Dean!"

Nova had to quickly jump back because Sam quickly grabbed the gun and punched Dean. They began physically fighting until Nova stepped between them.
