Burning Feathers [Dean Winchester FF]

I : Devilish Visitor

Ember

"And they lived happily ever after. The end." I close the book and look down to see the twins sleeping.

"Alright, night you little ankle biters." I kiss each girl's head and slowly step out of the room. As I walk back to my bed room I catch a little bit of my aunt and uncle's conversation.

"The girl ain't right, Maggie. You know it, the town knows it."

"I'm not going to send her off to some shrink in Chicago, she's a good girl."

"We all know she's good. But the things she can do? It ain't normal. Just like..."

"Like her mother? Your twin sister?"

Uncle Ted never spoke much about my mom. If anything he would just look at her photos in the family album, but that was only on his bad days.

"I don't want to discuss this anymore. Ember has been a huge help with the kids." I hear the door open and I dunk into the bathroom.

A knock came to the door moments later and I pretend I was brushing my teeth.

"Emmie?" Aunt Maggie calls. I poke my head out with my toothbrush in my mouth. "Yeah?"

She gives me a look and crosses her arms over her chest. "You heard didn't you?" I take the toothbrush out and sit on the toilet lid. "Yeah...I understand where uncle Ted is coming from. I am a bit strange."

"You're not strange. You are unique and a gift from God."

"Then why do I feel like I curse everyone in my path?"

"Honey-"

"First Mom died giving birth to me. Uncle Ted won't even have a conversation with me, let alone look at me. I just...want to be loved."

She grips my chin then hugs me. "I'll love you. I'll love you no matter what. You may not be my daughter. But your blood and I'll love you till the end of time. Okay?" I nod. "Okay."

"Alright now, you get to bed, you have school tomorrow." She swats my butt and I hurry on to bed.

"Essia..." I hear someone hiss and I turn around to see a large dark figure.

"They don't belong to you..." The dark figure slowly circles me and I feel nervous.

"Wha--What are you talking about?" I stutter. "They don't belong to you...they belong to my master..." He then reveals something metallic and curved. I take a step back.

"Please don't hurt me." He raises the curved blade and strikes. I dodge it. But the blade manages to slice my shoulder.

"Ahh!" I hold my shoulder in pain. He was about to strike again but this time I move faster and raise my knee, hitting him in the chest and grabbing the curved knife.

It gives a blood curdling shout and I start running like a bat out of hell...

I jerk out of my sleep from a pain to my shoulder. When I look, I see a fresh cut. I go to touch it but notice something in my hand.

I then notice my room was full of smoke.

I manage to get out of my room and hear my aunt screaming.

She slams into me and grabs my arms. "I can't find Max. I can't find her."

"Go, I'll find her." I tell her. "No you-"

"Go!" I motion her out and cough as I go towards twins room.

"Max! Max!" I call out to her. I get no answer and I see a large piece of wood fall against the door.
