Part 16

A sense of panic set in as soon as we reached the house. "Why the hell is my Impala in the driveway?" Dean cried as we hopped out of the taxi and it drove off.

"C-could it be... Please don't let it be Sam..."

"Oh god..."

"We're leaving, Dean. We need to go back to Kansas, out of this place and away from him." Sam pointed at me. Dean scooted closer to me on the couch and Kristyn- along with her roommates- watched from the other side of the room. Crowley and Lucifer had hidden in the spare room.

"Why?"

"Because Dad's worried."

Dean frowned. "If he was worried, he'd call me. And besides, you know he doesn't care about us."

Sam sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Dean, pull your tattoos out of your ears and listen to me."

"I am, but you have no point. Not one that's valid, at least."

"Dean, that angel is bad news. You're older than me, you should know better."

"Exactly, I'm older than you. So where did you get the right to boss me around?" Dean stood up, anger in his eyes.

"When you decided to become an asshole! An idiot! A complete fool and a disgrace to the Winchesters!" Sam yelled.

"There's no such thing as a disgrace in this damned family. We never had grace in the first place. Mother was a bitch, Dad was a cheat, you're a rebel school boy, and I'm in love. Who's the disgrace now, Sammy? Who's the disgrace now?!" Tears brimmed in Dean and Sam's eyes.

"You fell in love with an angel. Angels are dicks. You put too much trust in stupid things, Dean. Why can't you be normal?"

"Normal people don't hunt monsters. Normal people don't know what we know. Normal people don't believe in ghosts. I couldn't be normal if I ever fucking wanted to be!" He collapsed to his knees in tears. "Dammit.... All I want... Is to be normal..."

"Dean." Sam said softly, kneeling in front of his brother. "I-I'm sorry." 

Dean looked up some. "If you were sorry, you wouldn't have done this in the first place. You wouldn't have taken my car, drove here, just to yell at me and try to tear me apart."

"I wasn't thinking."

"That's why you should trust me, because you act before you think."

"Coming from you. I'm trying to be a good brother."

"A good brother wouldn't do this." Dean stood up and sat down on the couch, he leaned against me and sighed.

Sam frowned. "Dean, please. I'm sorry, just accept the apology."

I gazed up at Dean, he avoided eye contact. "Fine. But I'm not going back to Kansas with you, yet. I want to stay with Cas for a while." I rested my head on his shoulder. Sam looked at me and nodded.

"Okay, I'll stay here too. I'm not driving back yet."

"Sam-"

"Can we end this already?" Kristyn spoke up, her tone was sharp and angry. "If you morons haven't realized, you aren't the only ones in this house. Crowley and Lucifer are hiding in their room, Alex and Patricia are disturbed, and look at Castiel. He's petrified by your yelling. And it's pissing me off." Her eyes flashed blue, a strange feral side to her coming out.

"Sor-" Sam was cut off by Kristyn standing up.

"Don't pull that shit with me. Like Dean said earlier, if you were sorry, you wouldn't have done this. I don't want your angst-ridden ass staying under this roof. Either you go home, find a motel, or sleep in your car. But you are not welcome in this house." Kristyn pointed to the front door. Sam looked back at it, then back to her. The blue showed up in her eyes again and he quickly raced from the house. Kristyn turned to us. "Now you two." She paused to sigh. "I... I'm going to sleep for now. I'll see you guys in the morning." She left and went to her room. Alex and Patricia stepped forward.

"She doesn't usually get pissed like this. Haven't been that way in a long time." Alex whispered.

"Don't be surprised if she's gone in the morning. Last time she was like this, she drove all the way to Ohio and back. She has trouble getting things out of her head."

"She's always been that way." I spoke up. "I remember when I was little, some kid beat me up. Kristyn would've killed him if it weren't for me being there. And the next time she saw him, she beat him up again. Mom obviously wasn't happy, though. But she did take it too far, saying it was my battle, not hers. Heh, because a nine year old me could beat up a middle schooler."

"Hate to say it but it seems like Kristyn had good reason to run from your family." Alex said, sitting on the couch with us.

"I mean... Mom was terrible to Kristyn."

"It's because I shouldn't exist." She said, scaring the hell out of us as she sat on a chair.

"A-an accident?" I mumbled.

"Yeah. Because you, along with all the other angels, are supposed to be children of god. Every angel was created, and became a virgin Mary to god. You were the Mary, Castiel. Every angel was only meant to have one kid."

"Then why are you... You?"

"Because Mom got knocked up one time and she's hated me since I was born. She thinks I'm some monster in god's eyes, not that that deadbeat even cares. I'm not supposed to exist, being half angel and half human, and Mom made it my problem." She stood up and left again. Patricia sighed and went to her room.

"Did you know this?" Alex asked. I shook my head. "Oh... I guess it's the night of secrets getting revealed then. Do you have anything to confess?"

"N-no... I always looked up to my sister, I thought she was great. Now I realized she's just as fucked up as all of us."

"We all have our flaws." Dean said quietly. 

"We... I guess we should go to sleep then. It's late..." Alex got up and left.

I took a deep breath and went to my room. Dean didn't bother following.
