Hunter of the Supernatural: (Book 2) Angels and Demons

Chapter 25: Finally Free

Dean just stared at her for a second, his arms crossed and a scowl on his face, as he thought about what she'd said. "Bobby!" He called up the stairs. The older hunter came down the stairs slowly.

"What is it boy?" Bobby asked before coming into view.

"If she moves before all the restraints are off shoot her." Dean said before moving forward to release Tyler from her restraints.

"Sam would want to be here for this Dean." Bobby said. Dean stopped and nodded once. "Sam!" Bobby called up the stairs.

"What is it Bobby?" The youngest hunter said down the stairs almost instantaneously.

"Figured you'd want to free Tyler." Bobby said. Sam's face lit up and Dean almost felt better letting Tyler go. Bobby did feel better.

"Will somebody just get these damn cuffs off?" Tyler spoke up. Sam rushed in and started tackling them. Dean just aimed the gun that was in the back of his jeans at her enforcing the warning that he would shoot if she moved before all four of the restraints were off. It didn't take Sam long and when he'd gotten them all he stood back giving her some space. Tyler sat up eyeing Dean cautiously before rubbing her wrists.

"How ya doing Ty?" Bobby asked kindly.

"I'm fine Bobby." Tyler answered swinging her legs over the side so she could get up. Gripping the sides of the cot she pushed herself to her feet for the first time in weeks. When Sam started forward her hand shot up to stop him. "Relax Sam."

"I think you should stay down here for another day." Dean said quietly. He hadn't taken the gun off her and despite her best intentions it was starting to irritate her.

"And I think you should put the gun back where it came from." Tyler answered him walking towards the door.

"Hold it." Dean said stopping her in her tracks.

"Seriously Dean?" Tyler asked the frustration she was feeling not showing in her monotone.

"Yeah seriously. You aren't acting any different and I don't trust you." He explained his gun never leaving her.

"Well that's great but I'm still me Dean. Your brother didn't act any different when he was clean except the no more nightly visits to Ruby. You can't look at me for five seconds and tell me there's something untrustworthy about me." Tyler said using the same flat tone that gave away none of her frustration even though Sam could tell she wasn't happy. Dean assumed the same thing and Bobby put himself in her shoes and knew he'd be pissed. So despite her trying to hide it all three boys were on high alert and almost waiting for her to blow.

"That's not the point." Dean said hesitantly.

"Then what is the point?" Tyler almost nearly snapped at him.

"Stop it, both of you. Tyler came out of this alright and everything will go back to normal now." Sam said stepping in between them.

"Normal?" Both Tyler and Dean said incredulously before Dean glared at Tyler and she just sighed.

"We have a war to stop don't we?"

"And your help would be greatly appreciated." Cas said from out of nowhere.

"Nice of you to show up Castiel." Tyler almost growled.

"Tyler..." Sam said warningly.

"Don't do anything stupid I know." She said masking her emotions once again. "I'm going to the library. We need another demon and I was thinking Gregory might be our key back in." Dean watched her walk by Cas and up the stairs before he relaxed.
