The Other Winchester {ON HOLD}

Chapter Forty-Eight: Shock

We roll into the parking lot once more, but with no lights. It was sneaky time. I look around and I see the car that makes my heart sink.

"That's Layla's car. She's already here." I point out.

"Yeah." Dean said sadly. He liked her, not just physically but he liked her.

"Dean..." Sam started but Dean jumped on top.

"You know if Roy woulda picked Layla instead of me she'd be here right now. And if she's not healed tonight she's gunna die in a coupla months." Dean tells Sam. The day we found out, Dean dragged guilt with him since.

"What's happening to her is horrible. But what are you gunna do? Let somebody else die to save her? You said it yourself Dean, you can't play God. " Sam tells him. Dean says nothing. He gets out of the car. There were sheriff cars in front too, probably looking to keep Dean out.We sneak around to a small opening. Inside was a bunch of people with Roy. They were helping to "heal" Layla.

"Where's Sue Ann?" Dean asks as he scans the tent for her.

"House." Sam says. We headed to the house, and Dean noticed the cops.

"Go find Sue Ann, I'll catch up." He tells us and walks away.

"What are you gunna...?" Sam starts but I pull him away. We were losing time.

"Hey!" Dean calls. The cops look at him and their smiles drop. "You gunna put that fear of God in me?" The cops drop their coffee and run to Dean, who is the fastest person I knew. Me and Sam sneak to the front of the house. We look around the porch for Sue-Ann. Nothing. Then a light shines in the corner of my eye. I look down and their is a basement with a hatch that opens from the outside.

"Sam." I whisper to get his attention. He looks at me and I point to the hatch. He smiles and we both head over to the hatch. We open the hatch, and head in. It was creepy. Makeshift shelves held large candles. Stud that haven't been covered in sheetrock have chicken wire draping over them. There was the alter. It had the crosses and blood splattered everywhere. But what made my heart stop was the photo. It was Dean with a giant X mark on his face. Sam picks it up and looks at me, we both knowing what it ment.

"I gave your brother life and I can take it away." A voice says behind us. It was Sue-Ann. Sam knocks over the Alter destroying it. Sue-Ann runs up stairs and we chase after her, but she puts a pipe in the handles of the hatch, so we can't open it. "Kat, can't you see? The Lord chose me to reward the just and punish the wicked. And your brother is wicked and he deserves to die just as Layla deserves to live. It is God's will."

"Let us out!" I shout. Nothing. 

"Goodbye Kat." She says and leaves. My blood boils. I almost lost Dean, I wouldn't do it again. Power runs trough my body. If I was a witch lets test it out.

"Sam back away." I tell him.

"What?"

"Just do it!" I shout. He does and I look at the hatch. I close my eyes and imagine in gone. I open and no such luck. "No. He will not die. I won't let him!" I shout, getting angry very quick. 

"LET US OUT!" I shout and push my arm as if I was shoving the hatch. It breaks off flying. It worked. I look at Sam, his eyes filled with fear and confusion. I look down and I see my reflection from a shard of a mirror. My eyes were glowing gold. They faded and I look at Sam. "After, I will explain." He nods and we run. 

"I will find Sue-Ann, you go get Dean." Sam orders. I nod and run. I run as fast as I can. And there I see it. A reaper taken Dean away.

"Get The HELL OFF HIM!" I shout. The lights bust in energy overloads. I run over and grab Dean. I feel it draining me. Dean was too important to die, so I do something really stupid. I grab the Reaper's hand and put it on my face. It releases Dean, but drains me. My chest tightens, and I feel my heart pound. My body becomes cold. Then I feel words slip through my mouth, words I don't understand.

"Carum est okay messorem, et habitabo in alium diem. Quasi liberi et non invenio qui peccaret"

The Reaper's grip softens, as if he understands. He lets me go. I fall to the ground and take deep breathes.The Reaper disappears and I see a figure hover over me.

"KAT!" Dean shouts. I smile.

"You are alive." I start to cough.

"You are so damn stupid, you know that." Dean tells me, with a small grin.

"I have to be, or else I wouldn't be related to you." I joke. We laugh for a little, then Dean helps me up. We walk back to the car. Dean was holding me up, and holding himself in pain. We get to the Impala at the same time.

"You two Ok?" Sam asks. Dean shakes his head and chuckles.

"Hell of a week." Dean chuckles. I smile and Sam joins the chuckling.

"Yeah....All right, come on. We should get going." Sam says. Dean gets me in the back of the car and we drive back.

========================================

We were mostly packed up, I was sitting at the table reading a lore book and Dean was sitting on the edge of the bad staring at nothing. Sam was packing up some more stuff before breaking the silence.

" What is it?" Sam asks.

"Nothing." Dean replies. I scoff.

"Damn and I thought you were good at lying Dee." That earned me a glare from Sam and a chuckle from Dean. Dean then sighs and looks at the both of us.

"We did the right thing here didn't we?" Dean asked.

"Of course we did." Sam says. I nod in agreement. Yeah, it was a crappy situation but it had to be done.

"It doesn't feel like it." Dean says and looks back at the floor. Then a knock comes to the door, and I smile. I go to open it because I knew what was behind. I open the door and their i Layla, with her smiling face as always.

"Hey Layla. Come on in." I tell her. Dean shoots up as she walks in.

"How did you know we were here?" Dean asks.

"Kat...called. She said you...wanted to say goodbye?" Layla said. Dean give me the look while I grin at him.

"Well, me and Sam are gonna get some drinks. Be back soon." I tell them as I drag Sam out of the room. We go to the vending machine then sit to enjoy the nice weather.

"Kat.....what the hell happened back there?" Sam asks. 

"You're not gonna like it." I tell him as I take a sip of my Dr. Pepper.

"Kat, I'm your brother, you can tell me." Sam looks at me with the puppy dog eyes. It got irritating after awhile and I caved.

"Remember when, we got out of the hospital to check on Dean's condition after Roy "healed" him." I ask. He nods. "When I went outside, a woman approached me. She said that she had found me. That They were looking for me."

"Who?" 

"The Coven. She said I was the Savior of the Coven and I was to be a witch soon. She also called me Ava." I hang my head. "Was my mom a witch? Its a bloodline right?" I felt Sam's arm wrap around my shoulder and pulled me in for a hug.

"I don't know but I promise you, You are Katarina Ava Winchester. A Sister, a Hunter and a bad-ass." I chuckle and Hug Sam tighter. I missed this. How close we were. I missed it all. but the funny thing is, I never knew that sentence would change my life dramatically.
