I tried to carry on

To the end

 I wake up in darkness "Hello?" I scream. "Skylar?"

 "Sam, baby, shut up." a hand grabs my arm and I identify the voice as Gabe, my husband. He sighs "Are we dead?"

 I sigh "I believe so."

 The lights of our bedroom flicker on and I see Skylar sitting with her scythe out. She looks pitiful. Her eyes are sunken in with dark circles around her eyes. She looks fine, just drained. She smiles "Sorry I had to keep you boys waiting. There was a tunami in Korea."

 It's been more than forty years sense Dean died. I'm in my eighties. Was in my eighties. Gabe was.... I don't know how old. After a while, we set his birthday to Halloween. I'd say his vessel was reaching it's nineties. Gabe gasps "Sam."

 I look at him. He looks like he did the day I found him in the bunker. I jump out of bed and run to the mirror. I look just as I did more than forty years ago. I sling myself around and plead to Skylar "Take me to my brothers."

 In a flash, we're in her bright blue living room. She smiles and puts down her scythe. I look at her coffee table and frown. A single ring rests on the table. It looks oddly familiar "I thought you were taking us to Dean and Cas?" Gabe frowns.

 She sips on some coffee before screaming "Boys! Pie! Burgers! Ice cream!"

 She continues her coffee as Dean and Cas come flying down the stairs. "Where's the pie!" Dean screams from the kitchen, slamming the fridge.

 Cas yells, looking in the freezer "Where's the semi-frozen cream with the flavor of mint and chocolate?"

Skylar rolls her eyes in distain "Boys, we have guests."

 I clear my throat and see Dean and Cas tense up instantly. In unison they turn around to see if it's really me. They look back at each other and, a split second later, they dart at us, screaming our names repeatedly.

 In an instant, they're in our laps. After an hour of 'chick flick moments' Skylar clears her throat "Sam. We need to talk."

 I nod and everyone goes silent. She picks up the ring and plays with it. Then, I understand. It's the ring of Pestilence. She smiles weakly "What do you say, Sam?"

 I furrow my brow "What make you think I should take it?"

 Gabe looks confused. He probably doesn't even know what it is. I look at Dean and Cas. Then I look closer. Dean has the ring of Famine. Cas has the ring of War. My thought is interrupted by a sound in the kitchen. Daphne stands in the kitchen, getting her sister more coffee. Skylar smiles "Daphne lives here, but she can't leave. Only horseman and archangels can." she smiles "Gabe is back at full power."

 This is what she meant. This is how we all be together. But why am I Pestilence? I AM immune to the Croatoan virus. But, do I have too? I hold out my and feel the cold piece of metal against my palm. I slide it on and smile. This is where I belong. Doing some stupid things and being with my family. God I love my family. Daphne; did something she thought she needed to do, and hated herself for it. Skylar; death herself; a witch with a need for vengeance; a witch that believes she is nothing. Gabe; the angel who ran away from his family issues to live a new life; the man I call my husband. Cas; the angel that believe there was a better way; the angel I call my brother. Dean; the man that believes that he's a grunt, believes he's worthless; the man that would do anything to save us; my biological brother. Then there's me, Sam; I left everything behind and had so much bad happen, I wouldn't change a thing. This is my family. It's small. And broken. But still good.
