Mask- a Supernatural fanfiction

Chapter 11: A Vacation

I quickly sat up from the bed, gasping for air. I was covered in sweat and my heart was beating fast. I could feel every thud my heart made against my chest, as if it was trying to break out. I let out a forced relaxed breath as I tried to calm myself down. It was just a dream, I told myself over and over, it was just a dream.

            "You okay?" Jess asked me casually as she put on her boots. She was already dressed and ready to go.

            I fell back onto the bed, the pillow catching my head from the fall. My hand reached up to my forehead and wiped away the beads of sweat that had formed there. I closed my eyes as I told myself more than her, "Yeah, it was just a dream." I wiped the sleep from my eyes as I forced myself to get up and get ready. Jess didn't say anything more.

            When I was getting changed, I asked Jess, "Where did Cas go?" She was getting her things together with her back facing me.

            "He didn't say... Probably out doing angel things," she answered me. I stepped into my jeans and wiggled them up my legs. I buttoned them and finished changing. I was wearing my usual outfit; a black tank top, jeans, combat boots, and a red flannel. Jess was wearing the same, but with a few changes. She wore some vans and a gray flannel. Her hair was up in a ponytail, but mine was down.

            There was a knock on the door and Jess yelled, "It's open!" The door opened, and in came Dean and Sam. Dean was wearing jeans and a black t-shirt with a solid tan colored flannel over it. Sam was wearing jeans too, but with only a blue flannel.

            "Ready?" Sam asked as he grabbed Jess's bag from the floor. She nodded and walked out the door with Sam following close behind. Dean walked over to me and picked up my bag.

            "You ready to go?" he asked as he held the bag in one hand.

            "Yeah, I'm ready," I told him as I smiled. He walked to the door, but I stayed where I was as I glanced at the place that I saw Edward in my dream. It felt so damn real. I stared at the floor as I recalled how he looked. That wasn't the nightmare I usually have. Why did it change? Could it mean something? No, it's impossible for him to come into my dreams... Isn't it?

            "Earth to Catherine, come in Catherine," Dean interrupted my thoughts as he talked like an astronaut. I looked back at him and smiled as I carried myself to him. Thoughts of telling him only made me want to keep it to myself. I walked out of the room and he closed the door behind me. It was still dark outside; the sun would be up in a few hours. We made our way over to the Impala and Dean threw my bag in the bag seat, joining his. I walked over to the shotgun side of the Impala and grabbed the door handle. A thought popped into my mind as I froze in my actions.

            "Wait, what about Cas?" I questioned, as I was concerned that we might leave him behind.

            "I talked to him earlier, he's going to meet us there," he answered as he leaned against the black car that he called "Baby". He smiled to reassure me. He crossed his arms on the roof of the car and I stood standing.

            "Where is he?" I asked.

            Dean looked down at his hands and played with his fingers as he replied, "He didn't say," he looked back up at me and continued, "but we should probably get going." He opened his door and climbed into Baby. I stood standing as I glanced at my surroundings to see if maybe Cas would appear, but he didn't. I opened the door and climbed in. Dean turned the keys and the rumble of the engine filled my ears as we drove off.

            When we finally arrived at the amusement park, Dean and Sam–who drove Max with Jess– decided to park all the way in the back of the parking lot. There were even spots open towards the front and they decided to park all the way in the back.
