In the Light of the Moon

21 - A family that hunts together...

"So who exactly is here?" Charlie already seemed curious as you both unloaded the car of grocery bags and headed to the motel rooms. You said nothing as she was about to find out.
Opening the door to Sam and Dean's motel room you were greeted with the faces of at least 15 other hunters:
Jodie Mills, Bobby Singer, Rufus Turner, Krissy Chambers, Aidan, Josephine Barnes, Claire Novak, Annie Jones (Alex, as you were told to call her by Dean), Ellen Harvelle, Joanne Harvelle, Ash and Garth Fitzgerald being those that you could name. Many more were scattered around, greeting others and having chats of their own.

Charlie put down the bags at the door to go and greet the others as you closed the motel room door. "Hey, Charlie, help me put these ba- ugh, dammit. Too slow.." you realised you were talking to yourself as you turned and saw the bags on the floor and looked up to see red hair floating through a crowd. Although you spent a long time with Castiel making phone calls to these people, you didn't think that there'd be this many coming. You looked around, stuck in your spot as you realised this was happening. You didn't know how to feel. Happy? They are all here to help. You finally stand a good, strong chance of helping all the kids still stuck in that mill as well as getting Sam back where he belongs- with his brother, hunting. As happy as you could be, though, you also felt something else. Anxiety? Loneliness? You knew some of these people by name, but nothing more. Everyone else was smiling happily, even Castiel got involved in the festivities, too caught up in their conversations of past hunts and other such things to take time to pay attention to someone they don't know- to introduce themselves, even. Your head began to hurt and your eyes became hot, but you pushed it back, thinking only about what you can do in this moment. If they didn't want to talk, then that just gives you your time to do what you want on your own. You unpacked all of the grocery bags, leaving select foods out on the counter while putting everything else into the fridge or freezer until they were full and then taking the rest to fill up the fridge-freezer in your motel room, quickly coming back with the pots and pans from your room to help you cook the food you'd left out. A few varieties of chicken in the oven, oven chips with them, cooking sausage and bacon and beans while boiling vegetables in stacked pots and a large bowl of rice in the microwave and filling another bowl with mixed salad, once the main meal foods were cooking, you plated them all up and put out dinner plates to allow everyone to help themselves. Hearts grew in the eyes of everyone in the room as they began to eat. You felt proud of that and got out two pies you'd bought from their packaging and put them in the oven to heat up and colour a little, made a bowl of mixed fruit, put out beers and other drinks on the tables and more hunters were saying thank you and smiling at you, Dean winking at you as he lovingly dug into every bit of food set out and grabbing himself a beer. You then got the pies out of the oven and set them out, warning everyone that they're hot and then putting out the mixed fruit and pulling some ice cream from the freezer, just in case anyone didn't like pie. You also set out some sugar for sprinkling and melted chocolate and a bowl of marshmallows. More people moved onto dessert and you realised there was a lot of main food left, you happily grabbed yourself a plate and had your own dinner before digging into dessert yourself. Hunters kept coming over to say thanks for the food and they introduced themselves. Jo and Ellen came and sat with you the whole time, telling you stories about Sam and Dean, a couple of Cas, but not many. Jody Mills also introduced herself and her girls, Claire and Alex. You quickly found that you wouldn't be against the idea of being adopted by her, too. Claire and Alex would make snarky comments about each other under their breath whenever they got the chance whether Jody heard them or not. They seemed to be very close. You all watched as Dean and Ash challenged each other to chugging beer out the side of a can and you suddenly got up and hid the bottled beer from them, worried about some alternative way they'd come up with to drink that. Rufus Turner and Bobby Singer laughed at this.

"Lady, that was a good move you made there, I ain't never been fast enough to avoid that myself before. Idjits broke too many bottles to count with their stupid bets." He put his hand out to you. "Bobby singer, the boys'-"
