Devil In Me (Jack Kline/Supernatural)

Prologue

"Goodbye, boys." I watched in utter horror as the angel blade was plunged into my father's gut, bright light shining from every orifice. Within seconds, the King of Hell fell to the ground, lifeless.

Whatever happened next, I didn't know. I was too in shock. I couldn't even hold myself up right. I had fallen to my knees, tears leaking from my eyes like a waterfall.

"Lapis!" Dean yelled.

"Get her out of here!" Castiel shouted to him.

Their voices were whispers against the roar of my surprisingly still beating heart. I hadn't always loved my father, I hadn't always cared about him. I tried to kill him myself several times. That didn't mean watching him kill himself didn't practically destroy me.

I felt arms wrap around me and pull me up. The familiar smell of candy and a woodsy scent filled my nose. Sam was helping me up.

I still didn't know much of the events that followed. I faintly remember Lucifer murdering Cas and pulling Mary into the alternate world. I remember Sam running inside of the house after hearing Kelly scream. But the finer details in between escaped me.

"Lapis, stay here, okay? I'm going to go check in on Sammy." Dean said, voice hurried but emotionless. He took off inside of the house, calling for his brother.

I sat next to Cas's body, as it had been by the opening of the portal. Dad's body was still inside. I'd never get it back. I'd never get to say goodbye.

I curled up in a ball, laying my side against the cold, hard ground. We'd lost Cas. We'd lost Mary. We'd lost Crowley. Kelly was probably dead, too. Why was it always us?

I heard a gunshot, and an ear splitting screech. I covered my ears with my hands and whimpered. What the fuck was this noise?

Whatever the noise was, it was enough to make me fall into darkness. I welcomed the cold nothingness, though. It seemed to be the only good thing to come out of tonight.
