Born To Hunt (Book 1)

Flashback

Almost a year ago
"Come on Tori. Please talk to me." Sam begs as I continue to ignore him. I roll my eyes and glare out the window.
"Dean, can we please go get these stupid braces off now?" I ask as I continue to ignore Sam. Deans huffs and shakes his head.
"No can do kiddo, you know we have to try to find dad so that we can get Sam back in the morning." Dean replies after rubbing his face awkwardly. I huff and glare at Sam before going back to ignoring him.
"I'm sorry Tori. I have a really big test in the morning." Sam says, making the same excuse that he's made a million times since getting in the car half an hour ago.
"And that's all great and dandy for you Sam, but I've had to deal with these braces for two years and I was going to finally be able to get them off. I think I deserve to be a little pissed off with you." I reply grumpily. Sam opens his eyes wide, turning between me and Dean.
"Since when did you talk like that? When I left, you-" Sam starts before I cut him off angrily.
"Exactly Sam. You left. We were supposed to be a team, just me and you and Dean against the world. And then you leave me, you left both of us. We needed you a week ago when dad first stopped answering his phone. I needed you two months ago when I had to go to public school for a few weeks and the girls all made fun of me. I needed you this morning when I woke up crying because I felt like my whole world was falling apart- between dad being MIA and you being away, I feel like everything's falling apart." I whisper the last part, my bottom lip trembling as I try hard to not cry. Sam sighs and looks back at me, and for the first time since he got in the car, I make eye contact with him. Well, eye contact without glaring.
"I'm sorry, sis. I haven't been there for you like I should have been, but you've gotta understand where I'm coming from. I wanted out of this life, I wanted to be normal." Sam explains with a frown. I shake my head, wiping the stray tears away from my face as I let out a bitter laugh.
"Okay Sam. That's fine. Because the rest of us chose this life. That makes sense. Do you remember a time when I was able to believe in magic? That the pretty things in the Harry Potter books or in a Disney movie were real and not just silly? I can't remember a time where I was allowed to be a normal little girl. A little girl with tea parties, and sleepovers with her friends. A little girl who could run to her mom or dad when there was a thunderstorm. Sam, at least you got to be a little kid for awhile. A little boy who wasn't scared of the shadows outside the Impala. I've always had to be this girl. The girl who has to constantly watch her back, because if something knows I'm a Winchester I'm dead. I'VE NEVER HAD A CHANCE!" I yell at Sam, the tears flowing down my face. I hear Dean sigh as Sam hangs his head. Shaking my head slowly as the tears slow to a stop, I let out a long sigh.
"You good?" Dean asks, before tossing back a pack of Reese's cups. I smile softly before wiping my face off. Ever since Sam had left, I'd been having minor breakdowns where I would rant and scream and sometimes cry. In my defense, I have gone through a lot. Anyway, Dean started keeping a stash of my favorite candy- Reese's cups- to cheer me up after my meltdowns.
"Yeah. Sorry Sammy, sorry Dean. I just needed to rant." I say softly, hoping that Sam won't be too mad. Dean's too used to my weirdness to be affected at this point.
"It's fine Tori. I'm sorry too." Sam says with a smile. I nod and smile back before opening my candy and handing him one of the cups.
"Think of this as an apology for yelling and a way of saying I no longer blame you, that much, for delaying the removal of my braces." I laugh. Sam laughs and takes the candy, popping the whole thing in his mouth. I grin as Dean turns up the radio, ACDC blaring through the speakers as we fly down the road.

Sorry for the short, and honestly crappy chapter! I've been super busy the last couple of months, but I don't want anyone to think that I've given up on this story. I haven't given up on any of my stories, and I've even written several new ones. SO- if you like Teen Wolf, and Stiles Stilinski, check out my new story The Mourning Light! And I also have a Sherlock story out now, and a Hunger Games Story. In my drafts, there are also Superwholock stories and a Doctor Who story that I am simply in love with. Also, there's an original story!! So, let me know down in the comments if you guys would like to read any of the stories in my drafts, and do me a favor and go read/comment on my lesser known stories! Love you all
