The Winchester Sister

Chapter 4 - Metamorphosis

*Ashlee's P.O.V*

Sam checks the unconscious man's pulse...What the hell did I just witness?! I am so pissed! Dean and I go behind the other side of the door, and here the footsteps walk towards it. Dean opens the door and Sam stops in his tracks. "So...Anything you wanna tell us, Sam?" Sam puts on a innocent face expression.
"Dean, Ash, hod on, okay? Just let me-" Dean cuts him off and we walk forward.
"You gonna say, "let me explain"? You're gonna explain this? How about this? Why don't you start with who she is, and what the hell is she doing here?" Dean and I look at him hardly and Sam looks back at the girl who looks completely calm then even smiles at us.
"It's good to see you again, Dean, Ashlee." That is impossible...
"Ruby?" Dean and I ask at the same time and she smiles. Dean and I look at Sam.
"Is that Ruby?" Dean questions Sam and he doesn't respond. I look at Ruby, who's smile is fading. Suddenly, Dean grabs hold of her and shoves her up against the wall. He pulls out her knife and as Dean abouts to strike, Sam grabs his hand. 
"Don't!" Sam states. Oh god, what can I do?! They start struggling for the knife but Sam gets the upper hand but Dean throws him against the wall. Ruby grabs Dean and pins him up against the wall. "Ruby! Stop it!"
"Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus." I start off. "Omnis satanica potestas. Omnins incursio infernalis adversarii." Ruby looks at me angrily as she still holds Dean in a choke hold. "Omnis legio. Omnis congregatio-"
"Ash! Stop!"
"I stop if she stops. I give you my word." I reply. "-et secta diabolica." Ruby releases Dean and I cross my arms over my chest, and stop the exorcism. 
"Well, aren't you an obedient little bitch?" Dean questions. I am sure as hell that Ruby wants to attack Dean again. 
"Ruby." Sam says, warningly. She stares at Dean before looking over at Sam. "Ruby, he's hurt." He indicates to the man. "Go." She gives Dean and I one more look before she puts the man over her shoulder. 
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Dean asks.
"The ER...unless you want to go another round first." I would love too, Demon bitch but I don't say that out loud. Ruby walks off with the man. 
"Ashlee, Dean." I look at him in anger with a hidden hurt in me. I walk out of the building towards the Impala as does Dean. "Ashee! Dean!" We ignore him and get in the Impala, driving off.

~Later~

We walk in and Sam is sitting at the table; reading a book. I get my duffel bag and begin to throw my stuff in it. "Ash, Dean, what are you doing?" We ignore him. "What, are you, are you leaving?"
"You don't need us. You and Ruby go fight demons." We finish and head for the door but Sam stands in our way and we go around him. 
"Hold on." Sam says. "Ash, Dean, come on, guys." We turn around as Dean punches Sam in the face, I punch Sam's stomach. Sam whirles around by the force of Dean's punch but stays up then turns around again. "You two satisfied?" Not even close! I punch him in the stomach again as Dean punches Sam's face again. I drop my bag and Sam touches his lip which is bleeding. "I guess not."
"Do you even know how far off the reservation you've gone? How far from normal? From human?" Dean asks him in disbelief. 
"I'm just exorcising demons." Sam states.
"WITH YOUR MIND!" Dean and I yell.
"What else can you do?" Dean asks calmer.
"I can send them back to hell. It only works with demons, and that's it." Sam answers and Dean pushes him backwards as he walks towards Sam.
"What else can you do?!" Dean questions, his voice rising again.
"I told you!" Sam exclaims as Sam pushes Dean's hand away, stopping altogether. 
"And we have every reason in thw world to believe that." Dean replies and we walk away from Sam. 
"Look, I should have said something." We stop. "I'm sorry, Dean, Ashlee. I am. But try to see the other side here." We turn around and face him.
"The other side?" I question in disbelief. I felt anger boil in my blood. 
"I'm pulling demons out of innocent people."
"Use the knife!" Dean exclaims.
"The knife kills the victim! What I do, most of them survive! Look, I've saved more people in the last five months than we save in a year." Sam says.
"That what Ruby want you to think? Huh? Kind of like the way she tricked you into using your powers?" He shakes his head, sadly. "Slippery slope, brother. Just wait and see. Because it's gonna get darker and darker, and God knows where it ends."
"I'm not gonna let it go too far."
"That's what they all say!" I retort as Dean hits the lamp on the side table, making it crash and fly.
"It's already gone too far, Sam. If I didn't you know...I would wanna hunt you." Sam looks teary eyed and he nods, looking down. "And so would other hunters." Sam looks up and I felt tears come to the surface. Dammit!
"You were gone. I was here. I had to keep on fighting without you. And what I'm doing...It works." Sam says.
"Well, tell us. If it's so terrific....then why'd you lie about it to us?" Sam looks down again.
"Why did an angel tell us to stop you?" I asks. Sam looks up again, in surprise.
"What?" Sam questions.
"Cas said that if I don't stop you, he will. See what that means, Sam? That means that God doesn't want you doing this. So, are you gonna stand there and tell me everything is all good?" By the end, we all had tearful eyes and we all exchange looks, and Sam looks down. The silence is broken when Sam's phone starts ringing, making me visibly flinch as does Dean. Sam answers it.
"Hello?" He pinches the bridge of his nose, trying to collect himself. "Hey, Travis. Yeah, hey." He pauses. "Uh..." He pauses again. "It's good to hear your voice, too, yeah. Um, look, it's not a really good time right now. It's-" He is cut off by Travis, I assume. "Yeah, okay. Uh, well, just give me the details, and, uh..." He trails off. "Carthage Missouri." Sam walks over to the bedside table and writes down the location. "Looking for Jack Montgomery." We begin to gather our stuff in silence and dump it in the Impala apart from my one duffel bag, slung over my shoulder. I will muling over something. I don't know about the other too.
"Sam." He stops climbing in. "Can I have a word with you?" He nods and motion for him to follow me. I stop and turn around. "Was that why you left me?"
"What?" Sam asks.
"Ruby."
"Ashlee..." Sam trails off. Guilty as charged.
"You chose a Demon Bitch over your younger sister?" I felt immense betrayal. 
"I was saving people!" Sam exclaims.
"WITH A DEMON!" I yell out in anger. 
"I was saving people!" Sam repeats.
"I call that an excuse for choosing a demon over me." I state coldly. 
"The knife kills people. What I do, most of the time, it doesn't kill them. We just have to take them to the ER for minor injuries!"
"You could just say the normal exorcism! And Why did you choose a demon over me, Sam?"
"It is easier my way! Not having to remember any words! Just doing it nautrally. I didn't choose you over anyone!"
"You call that natural?! That is far from natural, Sam! Yes, you did. Or you would of at least called and visited rather than not!"
"I didn't call or visit because I felt guilty about leaving you behind!" He exclaims.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!" I yell at him and punch a right hook in his jaw. "MY LIFE WENT TO HELL!" I punch him with my left hand on the other side of the jaw. "I WANTED TO DIE!" I kick him in the stomach. "ALL BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T CALL!" I kick him in the shin. I was literally had tears spilling over my face. "I'm done." I give him one last glare before I walk away. I'm done with this life. I heard Dean and Sam call out my name, and the running off footsteps was heard but I start running away from them, loosing them. I will deal with the pain of my ankle later. Running away from the Impala. Running away from Sam and Dean. Running away from this life.

~Later~

It has taken me 1 week to get here. With a lot of walking and hiding involved but I made it nevertheless. I take in the familar smell of oil and cars. I haven't eaten in at least 4 days either...I maneuver my way through the stacked cars and knock on the front door. Bobby opens it and immediately cuffs the back of my head. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Worrying the hell out of your brothers and I." He states before pulling me into a hug.
"They called you?" I ask.
"Yes and are here." I guess, I was a bit over-dramatic...I should apologise. My stomach makes the sound of a whale mating call.
"Can I have food? I haven't had food in four days..."
"I'll make you several cheese and ham sandwiches. The boys are in the living room. Assume that they heard all of this." I nod and walk into the living room. 
"Sup, bitches." I say while leaning against the door frame. Dean immediately stood up and pulling me into a tight hug. 
"Never do that again." Dean mumbles and I nod in his chest.
"I'm sorry." I mutter.
"I know." He replies and kisses the top of my head before releasing me. Sam stands up and we are only a few feet away from each other. He had very faint bruises on either side of his jaw.
"I'm sorry for punching and kicking you...multiple times." I trail off, looking at the floor; tears spilling over. I could taste the bitterness of the tears on my lips.
"I'm sorry for not taking you with me and not calling or coming to see you." Sam states and I look up to see Sam looking tearful. As soon as he spreads his arms out; I jump into them, nearly knocking him over but he wraps his arms around my torso. I wrap my arms around his neck and bury my head in the crook of his neck. "Hey, Lee-Lee, don't cry." Using the pet name that Dean thought of a while ago.
"I'm not crying. My eyes just happen to be leaking, Sammy." I mumble.
"Sure, sure."
"I'm a Koala." I randomly say.
"Yeah, you're a Koala."
"I'm a Koala because I'm high up." Sam chuckles slightly. I pout. "Let go for a minute." He does as I ask and I begin to climb to his back. Sam grabs my legs as I reach the back and hoists me up. "See, Koala's climb on tall things and that's what I did. Anyway, if Dean can be Batman, why can't I be a Koala?" Dean grins at my remark.
"My siblings are crazy people." Sam murmurs.
"But you love us anyway!" I retort and I can tell that Sam is grinning. Bobby comes in with a plate of sandwiches. I felt my mouth begin to water.
"Stop being a koala and eat, ya idjit." Sam releases me and I fall on my butt again. Seriously?! -_- Bobby passes me the plate and I stuff my face with food.
"Anyway, what did you do to get here?" Dean asks. He looks sort of proud. 
"Tastes delicous." I mumble with my mouth full. Sam looks exasperated while Bobby looks plain disgusted at the view of my food in my mouth. Dean just smirks. I sort of got the habit off him! He does it all the time! I swallow my mouthful. "I walked. I have probably messed up my ankle on the way even more. Also, I had a slight demon problem in South Dakota. Banished the sucker to Hell in a jiffy."
"You hunted alone?!" Dean exclaims.
"I know, the whole, don't hunt along thing but in my defense, the demon was attacking me! I acted in self-defense!"
"Aside from that which we will be discussing with you later." Sam emphasises the later and I grimace. "Did you hitchhike any of the way?"
"I don't take rides from strangers. I was taught that in kindergarten." Sam nods in approval. "Also, food wise. I had money but not much. $10 bucks was all I had. I brought water. Lots and lots of water."
"So, technically, you haven't eaten in a week."
"Well...if you wanna be technical." I mumble. I finish off the sandwiches. "I'm still hungry." I get up and walk to the kitchen. I rummage through Bobby's freezer. It must be here somewhere. I got it because I needed something other than beans. Ha! There it is! In all it's glory! Pizza! I put the pizza in the microwave and set it to 10 minutes. "You guys want any beers?" The nods of heads were my reply. I might have one myself. Don't go judging me! I hand the beers out and pop the cap off mine; taking one big gulp. The guys stare at me with raised eyebrows. "I think I deserve a beer." I sit down and I sigh. "Anyway, how did you know I would go to Bobby's?"
"We'd all go to Bobby." Dean admits and Bobby looked flattered. 
"Shut up, ya idjits." Bobby is definitely flustered and we all smirk except Bobby. The microwave goes off
"Ding dong. The pizza's done." I say and grab a plate. I smother the pizza in ketchup before digging into it. "I'm going to regret this later." I mumble between bites of my pizza. God, how could anything so simple be so tasty. "Anyway, any cases?"
