The Quiet One

You promised

"Asphyxiation...by rope? There wasn't a rope-" "Ashley you promised" "Sophia I have to do this!" She looked up from her laptop to face her sister "soph! I finally get chance to get revenge!" "But you promised...and you don't even know if that's what it was!" She leant on the doorframe "SOPHIA!" Ashley put her laptop on the bed as her sister stepped back "don't shout at me....Ashley I hate it when you shout at me..." "Soph I'm sorry, it's just, this thing, it could be the thing that caused the accident! I could finally put an end to it all, to all the upset, finally put things to rest! Don't you want that?!" She shrugged her shoulders and ran to her room, slamming the door behind her, Ashley sighed heavily before getting up, and pulling on a pair of black jeans, a black tank top and a leather jacket, she loaded her gun and put it in her leg holster, putting the knife in her black heeled ankle boot she grabbed a set of keys from the box and walked outside to her barn.

With a lot of effort she opened the rusty creaky door, and walked inside, turning on the lights, eventually the barn had lit up dimly, and there, in the middle sat a dusty material covered vehicle, Ashley took off in one sweep revealing a Harley fat boy, carefully she sat on the seat, and felt the bike between her legs, the cool handles in her hands, she leant forward and smiled when she felt a presence "soph? You understand I have to do this right? If not for us, for Carly, she was a great friend..." "Just go...but I swear, you better come back!" Ashley nodded before putting the keys and turning them, the roar of the engine echoed around the farm as she kicked off the stand and drove off down the dusty dirt road.

She arrived at the mortuary, and snuck in the back, she found the right cell and pulled out the lifeless body, "jeez Carly...I'm sorry" she sniffed as she took a hold of her notes, "asphyxiation...there wasn't a rope!" "HANDS UP!" Two men came busting in, guns in hand "WHOA! HEY!" Ashley held up her gun and blade ready and armed "Ashley?! Bar girl Ashley?!" She let go of her breath "Sam and Dean, why are you here?" She put away her weapons "we could ask you the same question!" She looked at them "if I tell you, you can't arrest me" "okay...how about, we tell you something, and you tell us" Sam looked at her "fine..." She sighed "we aren't FBI we are hunters..." They looked at her For a reaction, "yeah I already knew that? I hacked the FBI computer database, found everything I needed on you" "you hacked..the FBI?" Dean looked at her impressed "yeah..." "Okay your turn" Sam prompted "I'm a hunter too, and I knew as soon as you asked for cold spots, something was off..." They looked at her impressed "so what you found out?" Dean folded his arms "not here, meet me at the copper pistol" she closed Carly back up and walked out to her bike and sat in the seat, she took notice of the boys car, "nice wheels...Chevy Impala" she smiled slightly before pulling on her Matt black helmet "thanks...fatboy? Inherited or bought?" "Bought...anyway we can't hang around..." She pulled the visor down and drove off.

They sat in the bar, Ashley poured drinks "okay so what do we know...." Dean took a mouthful of beer "okay...so" Ashley placed papers on the table "Carly testified in court to put this man who raped her in prison..." She pushed one article forward "how've you found these?" Sam looked at her "let me guess...you hacked into something?" "Hey, if you've got the know how then use it, now, the man's name is Steven, he committed suicide...by hanging himself in his prison cell" she pushed forward photos "so we have a pissed off dead rapist!" Dean looked at Sam, "okay thanks Ashley we can take it from here!" Dean stood up and grabbed the papers, within seconds, Ashley grabbed her blade and stabbed it between deans fingers, stopping the papers from going any further "I don't think so, I found all that out, she was my friend I'm coming to help!" "look no offence lady but-" "don't lady me, you've spent the Last week trying to get into my pants so suck it up Dean Winchester, I'm coming with!" "Okay! So where is he going next?" "Well...I'm guessing the judge...who Sent him down" I looked at them "right, you're in the car, in the back, we may as well go together" Ashley rolled her eyes and grabbed her stuff before walking out with the boys.

They got to the house "Dean....look" Sam pointed to the bedroom window, Steven stood there, with a rope in his hands "Sam go pick the lock quick!" The bothers ran to the front door, as they bent down Ashley whistled down to them from the upstairs balcony "how'd you get up there?!" Dean whispered "years of being a cheerleader" she flipped back up the fencing and through the open window, with an iron fire stick she slashed the ghost and climbed back out the window before the boys had even unlocked the door, "see glad I came..." "You didn't even kill it! You just made it more mad!" Dean folded his arms "excuse me....you need something of theirs to kill a ghost genius" "yeah well news flash, we don't have anything of his!" "Don't be so sure asshat" Ashley held up the rope that his ghost had dropped "asshat!? Listen here bit-" "you got your light-" Ashley suddenly grabbed at her neck "hurry up!" She felt a rope tighten around her neck, and a cool breath down the back of her collar "DEAN, SAM!" She collapsed to her knees as Dean got out his lighter and tried to light it "COME ON DAMN IT" he pressed the button over and over again until it eventually lit the rope, Ashley's eyes began to close as she began to lose consciousness, until she heard the scream, and a glow from behind her, the rope disappeared from her neck as she gasped for breath as Sam ran over and caught her, "come on, let's get you home" they placed her in the back of their car, and drove to their motel room" They carried her inside "this isn't my home..." "Well we don't know where that is so this is the next best thing" they placed her on the bed, covered her in a blanket and let her fall to sleep.

She woke up the following morning, and looked at the bruises around her neck "this'll take the piss to cover up" she sighed and poured herself some coffee, Sam walked in with Dean and placed a bag of shopping on the side "sit down Ashley" Dean walked over with a cardboard cup of coffee, Ashley did so "we've done some research...of our own...and we want to know what's true, especially If you're coming with us" "who said I'm coming with you?" Dean tilted his head and raised an eyebrow "what you wanna know?" "Let's start, with why you're so quiet, you were a cheerleader, aren't they supposed to be in your face and loud-" "I was loud....but then we had a car accident, mom dad, my sister and me, we were hit by a truck, sending us off the road, I lost everything" "jeez Ashley I'm sorry" Sam tilted his head giving the puppy dog eyes "that doesn't explain why your a hunter though?" "Dad brought me up to hunt, it started small, just shooting deer, then he took me out one night, taught me how to kill vampires...werewolves,everything...when we were run off the road, a man came down, the truck driver, and all I remember was his eyes...they were black" "a demon" Sam took her hand and rubbed his thumb over it as tear rolled over her cheeks "it's been 10 years I'm so much stronger than this!" She wiped my eyes and sniffed as Before finishing her coffee "have you been hunting ever since?" Dean continued "no...I Erm, I stopped after the crash, it was only last night, that I took out my box" Ashley caught sight of the time and jumped up "I'm sorry, thank you for caring for me, I need to go!" She grabbed my motorcycle keys and ran outside, and sat on the bike before driving off quickly.

When She got home, soph was on her straight away "where did you go!? I was worried!?" "SOPHIA! Just stop!" "Don't shout at me Ashley!" "Look! I'm sorry okay but I've had a rough night, I've met two guys who are hunters and they know about the crash, and I don't know it brought up a few memories okay!?" "Ashley I'm sorry..." "It's fi-" Ashley was interrupted by knocks at the door "stay here!" She instructed as she walked out to the door, where Sam and Dean stood "what are you doing here?" "We followed you...you left this behind" Sam handed over a family photo "my god thank you, Erm want to come in? I have drinks?" Sam looked at Dean before nodding and walking in, she grabbed three bottles of beer and shared them out, they were silent until a crash was heard from upstairs "what was that?" Dean stood up and loaded his gun "put the gun away....she hates guns" "who?" Sam out his away "me!" Sophia stood in the doorway "Ashley...I thought you said there were no survivor except you?" "There weren't Einstein, I'm a ghost!" "Sophia...." Ashley scorned her gently "you need to get rid of her Ashley!" "Who are you to tell me what to do with my sister?!" Dean looked at me as his eyes widened "that's not your sister" a voice came behind them, Ashley spun around gun in hand, a man, in a trench coat stood there, looking at her "who the hell are you?!" "I am Castiel...I am an angel of the Lord, and I am telling you, that is not your sister" Before Ashley knew it, her sisters eyes had turned black, Sam had grabbed the necklace from around Ashley's neck and burnt the Locket of hair inside, she watched as her sister went up in flames with an inhuman screach.

Ashley stood up, snatched the necklace from Sam's hands and ordered them out the house "I don't want, anything to do with you...get out of my home right now!" She kicked them out and locked the door, before sliding down the back and sobbing into her knees.
