Winchester Siblings: Broken (Book 4) (A Supernatural Series)

Chapter 5 - When the Truth Comes Out to Bite You in the Ass

Dean and John drove slowly up to the warehouse in the Impala. It was getting dark out and Dean had an uneasy feeling that something wasn't right. He parked the car and turned the engine off and pulled himself from the driver's seat. He looked around the lot and saw nothing, heard nothing out of the ordinary.

"Dad, it's safe." He said as his father moved from the passenger seat.

"I don't trust the demon. And as much as I hate to say it, your sister has been acting weird lately."

"I don't know dad, something is so wrong with this. It feels as if..." he was cut off as something grabbed him by the throat from behind.

"Well, well, if it isn't my favorite person in the world." The voice said.

"Meg." Dean squeaked.

John pointed the gun at her and she growled, "Oh daddy Winchester, you don't want to do that to me, now do you? Dean could get hurt so badly."

John lowered the gun and looked solemnly to Dean; he couldn't afford to lose his son after all they'd been through.

"What do you want?"

"The amulet." The voice said from behind him, "And I suggest dropping that gun Mr. Winchester."

John dropped the gun by his feet, "I have the amulet, let Dean go."

"Tsk tsk, I don't trust you John. First the amulet then my daughter will let Dean go."

John threw the amulet to the young man and scowled, "You got what you want, let my son go!"

Meg slapped Dean hard across the face before dropping him. "Oh come now Daddy Winchester, we just want to play."

Dean was hurt, that much John could see. But Meg and this Demon would refuse for him to be near him. "Play what?"

Meg grabbed John by the throat with such force that he could barely take a swing at her. He hissed in pain as she threw him against the brick wall of the warehouse. "Funny how one of your own children has betrayed you." She said and smiled evilly.

He sputtered and looked up to her, "What do you mean?"

The Demon smiled at Meg and then looked at Dean and John with total satisfaction. "The only reason why I knew you were coming was because of Alana. She told me you were coming early. She also betrayed you all. Not that she had any choice; I would've killed her if she didn't agree. Now I have the amulet and Sam and she will be mine."

Dean bowed his head, he had known the truth, had told Sam and Majestic the plan, the plan that Alana didn't know. In that amulet was not the witch's blood but a poison to wipe out Meg and the sinister Demon.

"You lie." He grunted and tried to get to his feet.

"Want me to prove it?" the Demon asked. He pulled the cap to the amulet open and took a sip as did Meg; Meg began to choke and grasped her throat. "What have you done?" he howled.

"It's poison, holy water at that. Thought I play your own game." Dean growled, "My sister is no traitor."

"You'll die in the end Winchesters." He said and they both fell into a muddy mess. John just shook his head, "How did you know?"

Dean got to his feet and helped his father up, "I knew from the look in her eyes that something was wrong. I even read it in her journal. Dad, she had to do what she had to do, to save us all."

"She is in big trouble when we get back. And grounded until I find a suitable punishment."

Dean shook his head, "She's not a kid anymore dad. You punish her and she'll run off again."

John groaned as he fell into the Impala, "What am I to do then Dean?"

"Let Sam and I handle her. She wants more than anything to be a part of the hunt. Now that we know she can do things, we can use her for that."

"You can't do that Dean; I'm afraid I am at a stand-still with her."

"Dad, is she truly our sister?"

John bowed his head, he'd promised to keep this secret to his grave, but it was coming harder and harder the longer they were together.

"Dad?"

"Let it go Dean. This is something that has to die."

"No dad, I want the truth. Who is Alana?"

"Your sister. She stayed with someone I loved more than this world. And when my sis-" he paused, "When my sister died, I sent Alana to Pennsylvania. After that I lost contact until a year ago. She is your sister Dean, she needs us more than ever, and we're all she has now."

"Is that the truth?"

"Yes son. I love Alana as much as you both."

Dean shook his head, "You could've told us the truth dad! We're not kids anymore."

"I know Dean, but I had my reasons. I rather Sam, Alana and Majestic never knew. This is best left alone."

Dean couldn't fathom not telling Sam. But he had to promise for the sake of his family.

"Fine dad, have it your way. Someday she'll find out the truth."

"And when she does, she'll be old enough to understand. Now get in the car and let's get back to the motel before everyone begins to worry."

Dean slid into the driver seat and started the engine. With one last look to his father, he sped off down the alleyway to the main road and back to the motel to their waiting family.
