Life as a Winchester

Chapter five The start of something new

I regained consciousness right after losing it, but my lungs were suddenly full of air again. I resurfaced to realize two weird things, Sam was no longer in the water and it was day, and the lake was full of people. How had a stayed alive unconscious underwater for that long? What had pulled me down? I started to look for Sam, but I couldn't find him. Where had he gone? I went to a phone booth down the road from the lake and dialed Sam's number. It rang for a minute then went to voicemail. Hmm, that's odd. I tried to call Bobby, same thing. I called Sam again, and got the same response. I tried many things, going to the motel me and Sam are staying at, everything. I searched for days with no results, so instead, I decided to start going on solo hunts, in hopes that Sam might get the same idea. It's so strange that he won't contact me back and that he left town so quickly. Today I got up preparing to kill a shapeshifter, and so I got ready and headed out from my motel. I got an Uber to a store near where the shifter is and then walked the rest of the way. When I got into the old house, I started to look for someone, but found nothing. Then I heard a crash from the kitchen and I hurried towards the sound. I hid by the doorframe and then jumped out from behind it with a silver knife in my hand. And when I saw who it was I couldn't believe my eyes, because it couldn't be true, it must be the shifter. But it looked just like him, and I had a feeling that it had to be. "Dean?"

"London?!" Dean said aghast, and he held his knife tighter in his hand, just like I had. "Your a shifter" he said after a second. "What? No I'm not, your a shifter. You can't actually be here, your dead! And besides, shifters can't do this" I said, and I cut a small slit on my forearm right above my elbow. Dean did the same. "Dean, how are you back? And what happened to you in hell to make you look like you've aged five years?" I asked him as I put the knife away. He did the same and I went and hugged him. "London, how long have you been back?" He asked me. "Five days" I said. "Listen, I have a lot of things to explain to you, but first we need to kill this shifter" Dean said. He got his knife back out and I got mine, and we started to search the house again to find it. Soon we found a man in the house and he was acting very weird saying there was another him in the house. "Come on London, I'm going to go find him, you stay with this guy" Dean said as he left the room. I knew I had to help this guy understand what was going on, so I needed to try to explain. "Sir, don't worry, I'll help you" I said, and I accidentally swiped my knife against his wrist, and he jumped back as his wrist started to smoke. "Your ithe shifter" I said, and I lunged towards the monster, but he jumped away too fast. "And you were going to try and help me" the shifter said mockingly. I lunged again and this time I struck gold. I got the shifter right in the chest, and he yelled then hit the ground. "What happened?!" Dean said as he ran into the room. "He was the shifter" I panted. "I found his body downstairs, and then I knew you were in trouble so I had to come and make sure you knew, and you did." Dean told me. "Yeah, I wouldn't have except I accidentally cut him with my knife, and it started smoking." I said to Dean. "Well, let's get out of here" Dean said, and we left.

"So how are you back?" I asked when we were in the car and on our way to my hotel to pick up my stuff then to where Dean was staying. "And where is Sam?" I asked. "Listen London, you've been gone for five years" Dean said. Five?! How would I have been gone that long? How is the even possible? "What?!" I said a little too loudly. "When you drown, Sam tried looking for you for weeks. Then he joined Ruby-" but I cut Dean off. "Ruby? The demon, Ruby?" I asked. "Yes, the demon Ruby. He joined her and started drinking her blood to become powerful enough to exorcise demons with his mind. Pretty soon he could kill them. Then I came back to life after four months, I was saved by an angel-" and I cut Dean off again. "An angel of god?" I asked, and Dean continued in a slightly annoyed tone. "Yes, his name is Castiel. He brought me back, then I found out that Sam was drinking demon blood, then he got super powerful and ended up killing Lilith, but that ended up being one of the 66 seals to free Lucifer, so after that Lucifer was free, and then that's how the apocalypse started. Then I ended up being the archangel Michel's true vessel, but I said no so he went after my half brother Adam. Sam was Lucifer's true vessel, and after finding the four horsemen and taking their rings, we were able to open up the cage, so Sam said yes to Lucifer, then he took over and jumped into the pit.-" and I cut Dean off for the third time. "Wait, Sam's dead?!" "No, he's not dead." Dean said. "Where is he?" I asked. "I'll get to that if you quit interrupting me" Dean said, and that I went silent, only making facial expressions and sometimes audibly gasping. "Then he was brought right back out of hell with my grandpa, and they hunted for a year. While they did that I went and lived with Lisa and Ben, and Sam didn't even bother that whole time to come and let me know that he was alive. Anyways, finally he came to me, but he was acting weird. Soon I came to find out that his soul was left in hell, and it had been tortured that whole time be Lucifer, and so it was a risk to have it back, but then I had death put walls around it, so he couldn't remember hell. But then Cas decided he wanted more power so he opened purgatory, and took all the souls out and became god" And that was one of my very loudest gasps. "He wanted to stop me from stopping him, so he broke the walls around Sam's brain. After becoming God Cas realized that it was wrong so he opened purgatory and put the souls back, but the leviathans held on, and so now they're free on earth. The main one, Dick, killed Bobby." "What?! Bobby?" I said as my eyes welled up with tears. "Yeah, and then Sam was seeing Lucifer everywhere cause he was in his head and so he was insane and in a mental hospital, but then cas took his place with seeing Lucifer, then he went wack. We finally killed Dick, but he brought me and cas to purgatory with him. Then I found a way to get out, and while I was gone Sam hit a dog and fell in love with a girl, and so he's in Texas with her now" Dean finished. My heart dropped. Of course I had expected that sam had fallen in love with someone else in five years, but I still hoped that it hadn't happened.

I can't believe it. Five years, The apocalypse, deans alive, sam went to hell, Bobby's gone, and purgatory got opened up and leviathans were on earth, and now Sam's off with some girl. "Man, you guys can't live five years without ruining the world several times without me here" I teased. Dean didn't say anything, he just chuckled slightly to himself. "Ass" I said under my breath. "Right, at least I'm not a bitch" Dean said as he parked at my hotel. "Five minutes and I'm leaving" Dean said. I hurried inside and gathered up all my stuff and then gave the key to the front desk. When I got back to the car Dean was slowly driving away. "Too late" Dean said when I caught up and tried to open up the door. "Come on, let me in" I said. After a minute of following the car as Dean drove slowly he finally unlocked the door and let me in. We got to the hotel and I brought my stuff in. There were two beds since Sam had been staying there before going to Texas. "So when is sam coming back?" I asked. "I don't even know if he wants to come back. You know, I was in purgatory for a year, and he didn't even try to look for me." Dean said. "Why?" I asked in an aggravated tone. "Cause he decided to stop hunting." Dean said. "What?" I asked. "Yeah, I know." Dean said. I don't know what to say to that, so I didn't say anything at all.

A couple days passed and me and Dean never heard from sam until after we were helping one of deans friends, Benny, out. We got back to our hotel and sam was there. We drove up to the Impala and sam was standing by his car, apparently waiting for Dean. They talked for a minute before I got out of the car. Sam's eyes went wide and he stood for a second in awe before speaking. "London?!" He said quietly. "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, London is magically back from the dead!" Dean said as he gestured towards me. "How?" He asked as I walked over to him. "No idea" I said. "Me and Dean have been working on trying to figure it out between cases, but so far we haven't found anything." I added. "How long have you been back?" He asked me. "About two weeks. Man I gotta say, I thought Dean changed, but you, your different" I said as Sam laughed. Then we headed towards the hotel room, and Sam and Dean started talking like they had been having a conversation for hours, and they gave no big details so it was really hard to figure out what was going on. "So?" Dean said, and sam nodded. "Good. So everything's business now?" Dean asked. "Yup" Sam said shortly. I tried asking with my eyes (which something I didn't realize I did a lot, but anyways, one of those things I guess) but Dean and sam both ignored it. A few days later Dean had left to do some investigating for a side case, and me and Sam stayed back in the hotel. We didn't talk much, and it was clear that everything that had happened before I drowned meant nothing now. The hardest part was that I still love Sam, but he is now in love with another girl. Soon enough Dean came back from somewhere with a man with muddy cut up clothes and a dirty, unshaven face. "Cas?" Sam asked as he stood up. "Wait, Cas, as in Castiel, the Angel?" I asked from the other side of the room. "Hello Sam, and unfamiliar person." Cas said. "Woah, my first Angel ever" I said. "How did you get back Cas?" Sam asked. Cas just went on saying he didn't know and then Dean had him go shower. Soon he came out and his clothes were clean and un torn, and his face was shaved. "Dude, how are you back?" Dean asked him. "I'll tell you later, but for now, let's drink" Cas said, and that's what we did.
