Mask- a Supernatural fanfiction

Chapter 9: You Know That Pain in Your Chest? Yeah, That.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise and Dean shook his head in disbelief.

"Y-y-you dated that psycho?!" Dean yelled as he pointed to the now dark computer.

"I didn't know he was a psycho when I dated him," I gently answered him. It wasn't until I had sex with him that I realized he was a psychopath. He got obsessed with me and was madly in love with me. He must've killed my family because they were part of the reason I broke up with him. They had known he was a little weird when I introduced him to them and had told me to break up with him. The other half of the reason was I actually wanted to break up with him, but I never told him that because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. He must've thought that I wanted to be with him but my family didn't let me.

"Did you know he was a demon?" Sam asked me.

"I didn't even think demons were real back then," I responded. I didn't know that any monsters actually existed. But look at me now.

Everyone just stared at me. I looked back at the computer and a question popped in my head.

"How did you get this video?" I asked Sam while pointing at the computer.

"It just showed up," he responded. I looked back at the laptop and exited out of the video platform. On the screen was an email. It read:

From: Unknown

Dear Winchesters,

I think that you two would like to know that nothing will get in the way of getting what I want. Take this as a warning.

I knew it was Edward. How does he know? He knows I'm with Sam and Dean and that they'll protect me. He's going to do anything to get to me, even if it means killing them. No. My stomach dropped as the thought came to my mind. What was I going to do? If I were to run, Edward would find me and God knows what he's going to do with me, but if I stay, he will find me and kill my new family like he did to my other one. I don't know which one is worse.

Everyone had crowded around the computer and read the message. I had backed away from the computer as my eyes looked in the distance and the thoughts clouded my mind. What in the hell was I going to do?

Cas walked over to me and put his hands on my shoulders to hold me with him. "Don't worry, Catherine. I promised that I'd keep you safe. We'll work this out," he told me as his blue eyes searched for mine. I finally looked at him. I wasn't convinced. It's not that I thought he wouldn't protect me, but it was if he could protect himself from Edward.

"He knows that I'm with you guys," I started slowly and quietly because the thoughts were taking over, "and he'll do anything to get to me. He'll kill you." My voice broke and tears filled my eyes. Just the thought of Sam, Dean, Cas, and Jess lifeless on the ground made me want to just drop dead. They were the only things left in my life that made me want to keep going. Losing them will leave me with myself, and that's the scariest thing to even think about. I have no idea what I'll do to myself. I'm scared I'll go off the wall. I'm scared I'll lose myself. I'm just straight up scared.

Cas still held me as the tears filled my eyes. I couldn't do it anymore. I let the tears come and I hugged Cas as tight as I could. I laid my head against his chest as sobs turned into cries. He held me close as I gripped his trench coat as if he were going to leave me. When I managed to calm my cries, I sputtered out what I was thinking.

"I'm scared, Cas."

He held me closer as I tried hard to catch my breath. I let go of him and he gently held me to see if I was okay. I wasn't okay. I was losing myself.

"We will get through this, Catherine. He's not going to get to you. I won't let him," Cas tried to reassure me, but it didn't work. I didn't want him to worry though, so instead of telling the truth, I pretended to feel better.

I nodded my head and he let go of me. His eyes still poured into mine, but I turned my head to everyone else in case he will call 'bullshit' on me. Dean and Sam gave me sympathetic looks, and Jess was no were to be seen. Maybe she went somewhere. She always either goes for a drive or a walk. I hope she's okay.

"Listen, Catherine," Sam gently sympathized, "if you don't feel safe here, we'll go somewhere else. Okay?" He walked over to me and gave me his easy eyes.

"But where?" I asked him. This is the only place I knew.

"Anywhere. You just tell us where and we'll get up and go," Sam replied. I thought that maybe this was just an idea that Sam makes. I looked over to Dean for any disagreement, but he only smiled. I then glanced over to Cas. He was watching me intently, but didn't give off any signs of disagreement. If they wanted to do this, then I guess I would. A happy thought came to my mind and I turned my head back to Sam. He was waiting patiently for my answer and a small smile spread across my face.

"Well, I haven't been on a rollercoaster for ages."
