The Listener (Superntural)

Chapter 16

"Aurora, where are you from?" Sam asked me as he watched the news. I was doing some reading on witches. I loved learning about them and there were plenty of works on them in the bunker.

"East Texas." I replied non-chalantly. I wasn't interested in what they had to say.

"What's your last name?" Dean then hollered. I sighed and looked at them from my book. Sam was leaning towards the TV while he led his beer. Dean was leaning back and drank some of his beer.

"Abenroth...? Why?" I asked them. I was getting a little concerned, now. I stood up and walked to the TV. Sam and Dean looked at me as I walked in.

Then I saw it. I saw that the news was reporting that there was a mass killing in East Texas. A family of 4 had died over the weekend. It was at a park and it talked baout how there was no surviving family. Then the photos appeared. I watched as my parents appeared first. My three younger siblings came next. I had forgotten that my youngest sibling, my only sister, was going to college around this time. My two brothers had no other family. One married, but he lost his wife and child in delivery.

"I'm sorry." Sam said as he grabbed my hand. There were tears that were coming to my eyes.

"I left them so that this wouldn't happen." I choked. I felt like my heart had just been smashed. I couldn't move though. Castiel came to me and I looked at him.

"We'll fix this." He told me in his rough voice. I shook my head.

"No, there is no way to. They're dead. They are gone!" I yelled the last part as loud as I could. I started to shake as my hands curled into balls. Tears were streaming down my face. I heard someone get up, but I wasn't going to break eye contact with Castiel.

"Aurora, look at me." Sam said. I did as he said and he wiped my tears away.

"We'll figure out who did this." He whispered to me. I tried to swallow my tears, but they came out harder than ever. Sam then pulled me into a hug. That was then I couldn't turn back. I grabbed on to his shirt as we stood there.

"I just wanted to at least say goodbye." I sobbed into Sam's chest. His arms tightened around me as I stood there. I wanted to crawl into a ball and just die. I wanted to get away and never look at anyone ever again.

Sam and I sat on the couch after a while. dean covered me up as I sobbed. I would try to calm myself, but nothing worked for a while. When I calmed down a little, Sam seemed to be crying a little. I didn't say anything so that he wouldn't be embarrassed. I simply pulled the cover over our faces. He laughed a little and I smiled. I was glad that I was able to find a little happiness.

"I'll be back." I told everyone as I got off of the sofa. It had been over three hours since I heard the news. Dean looked at me with his bright green eyes. He looked a little worried.

"Where are you going?" Dean asked.

"I'll call if I need help." I replied as I grabbed my keys to my car. I walked out of the bunker and to my car. The sun looked like it was about to set. I jumped in my car and I headed out.

Once I was far enough away from the bunker, I stopped the car. I pulled out some whiskey was sitting in the back seat, along with my cigarettes. I got out of the car and I sat on the front.

"Crowley! I need to talk!" I yelled. The sun was setting in the field next to me. I looked at it as I sat there.

"You should bring some glasses too." I said a little quieter. I knew that he would hear me. I had my radio on and he would hear it. I sat there and waited for the king of hell to arrive.

"Aurora, are these going to become regular for the two of us?" Crowley asked me as he appeared before me. He had to brandy glasses in his hands.

"Maybe. You know how much I love talking to you." I said to the demon. He smiled and set the glasses down. I poured a sufficient amount of alcohol into each. I offered him a cigarette and he took one. Once I had lit them both, he smiled at me.
