The Listener (Superntural)

Chapter 26

We stayed like this for a while. Ruth went back to what ever she and Castiel did. Dean stayed still like me. We weren't sure what was going on. I didn't want to be alone and he didn't either.

Then we heard something at the door. He bolted up and put his arm in front of me instinctively. I saw that and I felt a little better. Then Castiel and Sam walked in the door. Sam had food and Castiel walked in.

"Hey, what happened?" Sam asked as he set the food down. Dean pulled a flask out of his jacket and he got up slowly. I stayed on the bed, and I grabbed my crutch. I knew that I would need the angel blade, if this went down wrong. Dean then threw some holy water on Sam, then on Castiel. Nothing happened.

"Dean, it's us." Sam said in an annoyed tone. I put my crutch down and Dean looked at me. He knew that I had it in my hands earlier.

"Calm down. They are different since they went into hell. You can't blame them either." Ruth told us. I looked at her and I couldn't believe that she was on our side. I smiled at her in thanks.

"I brought food." Sam said as he pointed to the bag, ignoring Ruth's comment. I got up and walked over to the table with Dean. Castiel sat with us as we ate.

We had forgotten that we hadn't eaten in a week. It all tasted so good. Sam watched us as we ate. He seemed to be amused by all of it. When we finished, I got up and walked to hte bathroom.

I was afraid to look in the mirror, but I had to. I saw that I had a large bruise on my right cheek. I sighed as I touched it. It was still tender. I then went to the tub. I sat on the edge and lifted my pant leg up. I could see scar from the angel blade. Then there was a huge bruise from the clamp that Dean had kicked off. I should have taken it off. It wouldn't have hurt as much and it would have been healed.

"Do you need any help?" Ruth asked as she knocked on the door. I sighed and thought about it for a second.

"Ruth, you can't just enter people's minds like that. They need privacy." Castiel sounded like an older brother to her.

"Yeah, like you need with Dean?" She asked him. How I wish I could have been there to see their expressions. The door opened slowly and Ruth walked in.

"Are you okay?" She asked me. I sighed and looked at her.

"I think that I have a shirt that will fit you. And meet your needs." I told her as I got up slowly. She smiled at me as I walked in the room slowly. Sam watched me as I pulled my bag aout and hand Ruth the shirt. Luckily, I didn't have to tell her to go to the bathroom to change.

"Where are we taking her to?" Dean asked Castiel. I turned my angel radio on, just incase she tried to make contact.

"She doesn't seem to be working with Naomi. She never followed her before." Castiel said.

"Ask her." I told them as I sat with Sam. I leaned into his arm and I knew that he liked it. He leaned into me a little.

"Ask me what?" She asked as she walked out of the bathroom. Dean and Castiel looked at her as she walked over to us.

"Where do you want to go? We can take you anywhere and you will be safe." Sam told her. She smiled at all of us.

"I want to go somewhere peaceful. Somewhere where there is no busy life." She explained. 

"So any town between here and the bunker." I told the guys. Dean and Sam smiled a little. 

"Okay, we'll take you." Dean said with a smile. I knew that he didn't trust her. I didn't either. There was something about her that made the two of us concerned about having her around. The faster she was, the better off we would be.
