LOVE KILLS!!!!(#Wattys2015)

CHAPTER 12

I dragged Finn's body up the stairs.His head hit a few stairs making me wince a couple of times.Dean refused to help me saying that he wanted to make sure I wasn't upto any funny business.Poor Finn was going to get up with a major headache.I loaded him into the backseat of my car and closed the door.

Dean climbed into the passenger seat infront.

"What are you doing "I stared at him incredulously.

"I wanna lift" he said without even batting his eyes.

"The only lift you're getting here is back to jail buddy"

"Oh..come on.you wouldn't do that.Just leave me at the bus stop."

I shrugged and got in.I wasn't really in a mood for argument.

The bus stop soon came in view.I drove to park but Dean suddenly shot his arm.I turned to question him.But saw him staring at the side mirror.

"Drive"he barked.

"Wha-why"

"Just drive"

Before I could beat up his ass for using that tone on me,the car window shattered into a thousand pieces.A bullet whizzed past my ear and I lost control of the wheel and the car swerved.Dean's arm shot out to the steering wheel and held it in place.

" Drive Celeste...Now"he shouted

I took the wheel and hit the pedal. The car stormed on the empty road.Another bullet hit the front glass.I dropped my head low and drove like there was no tomorrow.

Dean put his head out of the window and shot a few rounds from his gun.Whatever was following us had stopped shooting.

"Are they gone"I piped .

"They stopped following us"Dean answered ,clearly confused himself.

"What did they want"

"I think they were Toby's men"

"Why were they after you"

"They're after you"
I turned to look at Dean.After me.Why would they be after me.
"Get in that building"Dean instructed.I turned the car and got into the basement parking of a law firm.We parked the car and sat in silence.

"Why me"I finally spoke.

"I think he knows that you looked into his file."

"Bu..but he' s just a car rental employee"

"No he isn't"

Dean stepped out of the car.He looked around and suddenly walked upto a black car with tinted windows.I followed him out and grabbed his shirt.

"What do you mean by that"
Dean stared into my eyes.His Brown ones where a darker shade than usual.His jaw was tight.I stepped a little closer to him never breaking eye contact ,that made him  relent.

"He's my mentor"

What!

"You mean.."

"Yes.I'm an assassin because of him"

I looked at him.There was pain in his eyes I' ve never seen before.I don't know why but suddenly I just wished I had never even asked him.But why...what had happened to him.I just had to know.

"Why did you ask for his file"

Dean leaned against the car door.His eyes faraway in the past.I walked upto him and held his hand.I don't really know why I did that.But it seemed to bring him back.He squeezed my hand gently and spoke.

"Our dad had a really nice cabin in the woods.Every summer we would pack up our things and spend a week there.Dennis ,my brother was a real pest at sometimes and used to run away.Then it was my dad and me,who would go hunting for him in the woods."he laughed a little and I leaned against the car beside him."I was 13  and my brother was 7 when we went on our last trip.I was looking out the cabin window.Where I saw him make a run for the woods again.I went to call dad but I saw him talking to 2 guys.My mom was busy with dinner.I thought this was my chance to go look for him alone and prove that I was big enough.So I walked out without anyone noticing me.I found Dennis in the woods sitting on a fallen tree.When I had convinced him to come back with me,we walked back to the cabin.I found my parents dead."

It took me a minute to register that,then my eyes widened.But Dean didn't even look at me, he continued.

"We were sent to an orphanage.I had a lot of rage in me that time.I used to scare all the parents away,I didn't realize this for bad for Dennis.I was so stupid."He hit the car with his other fist."This happened for a few months.Till Toby came.He asked me what troubled me so much.I told him.He said that he would help me deal with this.So he took me and Dennis in.He was an ex cop,a really good one.But he was caught accepting bribe.They threw him out.That's when he began this."he paused."Being an assassin gives you a lot of advantages.His slate was wiped clean.His enemies were dead.He taught me all of this.I agreed to it,on the condition that Dennis would be kept out of it.That he would never know.I killed people,Celeste.No remorse.It made me feel good.Heck it still does.I even killed those bastards who killed my parents.Toby had brought them as my Christmas present."

He looked at me finally.Thinking I'd been disgusted.Hell I should have been.But I felt sad.I felt like telling him that it would be alright.Was I sick?

"He saw me once"he said and I wondered of who he spoke.

"Dennis.....he saw me kill.He screamed at me and ran away.Refused to see me or talk to me.Called me a monster.Called me worse than the people who had killed our parents.".

Dean was broken.But he didn't cry .He looked defeated.
I don't know when I did it.But my arms automatically surrounded him and my head buried into his chest.His body stiffened.We were quiet for a long time.He didn't hug me back.But I didn't care.I just stood there holding this broken man.

"Toby knows where Dennis is.He took him away from me,because I had refused to do his dirty work.I lost Dennis.He probably doesn't want to see me.But I have to know if he is alright."

That's when I felt him bury his head in my hair and his arms wrap around me.

"Come with me,Celeste"he whispered so soft.But I heard it.

"What".I raised my head.

He looked at me for the briefest of moments and said"You should go."

I just stood there while he jacked the black car's door and transfered Finn's sleeping body .Then he pulled some wires from under the car and started it.
"Get Finn home.They won't recognize this car ,so you will be safe.Goodbye Celeste "he spoke but never looking me in the eye.
I climbed into the car and drove straight out without a backward glance.
