Secrets Will Kill You: The Sequel

War Part 2

My POV

We all got back to the church with the supplies and we started teaching these people their way around a shotgun. “You know your way around a shotgun at all?” I asked this guy named Austin.

He looked at me, then at the shotgun in front of him, on the table. Then, in mere seconds, he dissembled the shotgun very expertly. I nodded my head, impressed. “Hm. Where'd you serve?” Dean asked, equally impressed.

“Fallujah. Two tours. Got back a little over a year ago. Takes one to know one. Where'd you serve?”

“Hell” Dean replied and I saw how he smirked humorlessly. I tensed slightly and kept my head down.

“No, seriously” Austin said, amused.

“Seriously. Hell” Dean said and I felt him glance at me.

Austin looked at me as well and I made eye contact with him before walking away. Dean was quickly at my side. We saw Brit and Sam on different sides of the room, looking deeply in thought. I nodded my head at Dean and then at Brit. But, he gave me a look. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Fine” I huffed and walked over to her.

She was leaning against the wall so I did the same, right beside her. “Hey…what’s up?” I asked her, eyeing her, carefully.

She continued to look down. “At the store…those demons were possessing teenagers. I mean, I had to slit some kid's throat”

“You had to Brit”

“I know…it’s just…I wish I could save people like I used to”

“When you were doped up on demon blood?” I questioned but I heard the venom in my voice. She looked up at me. “It’s not what I said” she shook her head, glaring at me. I glared back at her.

“I’ll be back” Ellen spoke and the four of us closed in on her. “Where you going?” Dean asked.

“I can't sit here on my ass. My daughter's out there somewhere. I'm not back in half an hour, go. Get these people out of here”

“No, wait. I'll go with you” Sam volunteered. “Whoa, hold on. Can I talk to you for a second?” Dean asked and dragged Sam out of the room.

The door was still open as Ellen, Brit and I all looked over at them and I was about to listen in but then Brit took a step toward Ellen. “I’ll go too”

“What? Seriously? You’re going to go out there again?” I asked her.

She faced me completely. “Sam and I will go and cover Ellen while you and Dean stay here and get them ready”

“Why does it have to be you two?”

“Why not? Oh, right you think I’m going to take one look at a demon and fall to my knees, as if I haven’t learned my lesson”

“Well have you?” I questioned and I saw how she was ready to lunge at me.

But, there was a loud thump and we spun to look at Sam pinning Dean to the wall. We walked over to them, taking long strides. “Sam” I said lightly and grabbed his arms to pull him off Dean.

He let go of his brother and just stood there. He made eye contact with me and just stared at me. “Come on, Sam” Brit spoke and pulled him away, back to Ellen. I took one quick look at Dean and then we walked back in as well.

Ellen, Brittney and Sam loaded their guns and then headed out. Some time passed by and I was pacing a little as the priest and some of the others were praying together and I was starting to feel a little claustrophobic in this room but I had to keep myself busy so I decided to sit in front of the pregnant lady and make sure she knew how to shoot a shotgun. She actually seemed really young to be pregnant. I was still unfocused though, in my own thoughts.
