All Over Again

Chapter 5: Not So Sweet Dreams

I was in the garden I used to play in when I was 5. My sister walked up to me and I looked into her cute blue eyes as I gently curled my fingers into her blond curls. I can see my two older sisters playing soccer in the yard across the street. I smile and I realize how happy I am. Dad had just gotten back from a hunt and he decided to take us to the garden. He knew how much I loved the garden.

I look down at Zoe, my little sister, whom I am sworn to protect by default. I love her and those little blue eyes of hers just melt my heart. "Hey, Zoe. What's going on? Why aren't you playing with Sara or Natalia?" I ask her worried.

"I wanted you to play too." She says in the sweetest voice that just melts my heart.

"Okay, come on!" I grab her hand with a giant grin and run over to where Sara is playing.

We played for what seemed like hours, Natalia and I picked some flowers for dad and we headed back to the house. It was getting dark and Zoe started getting scared.

"What is it Zoe? What's wrong?" She's shaking and hugging my arm tightly. She points ahead of us, to the hill. Then I look ahead and see what she is so scared of. There up on the hill where our house was, was a man, a man with yellow eyes. By the way he was walking towards us with a grin on his face, he wasn't some guy with cool contacts. I grabbed Zoe and yelled back at Natalia and Sara. " 3, 4, 5!" It was a code our dad made us use when we were in danger. They start running into the forest as I follow with Zoe now in my arms. She never could run that fast.

We were running for minutes, but it seemed like hours. Holding Zoe slowed me down and I had to let her down and start running with her. I couldn't see Sara or Natalia, but I could hear my dad yelling for us. They probably already made it there.

Suddenly I hear a laugh and I turn around. The yellow eyed man had Zoe. "Zoe! Let her down. Please, take me!" I yell. I knew I couldn't fight him, but Zoe was way too young.

"No, no no. Sorry, Isabel. I need you for later, but don't worry. I'll keep her nice and safe and sound." His voice startled me and I could have sworn that his eyes turned black. That's when I knew he was a demon.

I didn't know what to say and I could see that Zoe was crying, but what could I do? I found myself suddenly running up to the demon with yellow eyes and kicking him, he wasn't taking Zoe. I wouldn't let him.

"Now, now. That's not very nice" He flicks his wrist and I'm sent flying into a tree. I hit my head and I can feel blood dripping down it. I look back up and I see a black figure with yellow eyes walk away with a laugh. After that I raise my arm and yell as loud as I'm able. "Zoe!"

Suddenly I'm in a hotel room, covered in sweat. My breathing is uneven. I look around to find Sam looking at me worried. I steady my breathing.

Sam's POV:

I look at the clock and see that it's almost two. I'm still up doing research for our next hunt. I look to the beds and see Dean and Isabel sleeping. I'm surprised she could even get to sleep with everything that's happened today. Her whole life was turned upside down, I feel so bad for her. I look back at my laptop and continue doing research.

After a few minutes I start hearing a noise coming from Isabel and turn and see her talking in her sleep. Great just what I needed, another person who talks in their sleep. I smiled, I always thought that it was funny what people said while sleeping. But my smile faded fast, she was moving around and it looked like she was having a nightmare. Should I wake her up? I didn't know what to do, so I watched her. She said someones name, what was it? Zoe. She said Zoe and started mumbling again. I looked at her with worry and interest. Who's Zoe? Is that one of her sisters? Then I heard something I never thought I'd hear from her. "Yellow eyes." That's what she said, yellow eyes and then she said "no" a few more times and it repeated like that for another minute when she suddenly yelled "Zoe!" And sat up, wide awake.

I looked at her and am filled with worry. "Are you okay?" She just looks at me and stares.

I get up and walk to the mini kitchen in the room and grab a glass of water. I hand it to her and sit beside her on the bed. She looked so helpless. How old was she? I never asked. I'll wait until she's more stable. This isn't the time or place. She drinks the water and I can hear her breath become steadier. She hands me the glass and I set it down on the counter and walk back over to her.

"Bad dream?" I say.

"Unicorns and gumdrops." She says. I give a quick smile.

"Who's Zoe?" I ask. She stiffens and I know I shouldn't have asked.

"She's.........................my sister" I can almost see tears start forming in her eyes, but she quickly hides it.

"You mean one of the ones wh......." She interrupts me.

"No, no. She's........not one of them" She says quickly, almost as if to reassure herself more than me.

"Isabel, while you were sleeping, you said something. You said Yellow eyes." Her eyes go wide and I can see them filled with fear. She stands up and stumbles on her words.

"I.....I...." I stop her.

"Isabel it's okay. I think I know who you're talking about." She just stares at me and then starts pacing and mumbling to herself.

"No no no no no no" She keeps pacing and her behavior worries me more.

"Isabel." She stops in place and looks at Dean.

"Don't tell Dean" I'm surprised she doesn't want Dean to know.

"Why?"

"Just..... Because. Okay? We'll tell him when he needs to know." She says.

When he needs to know? What does that mean? "Please" She says. I look at her and nod.

"Thanks"

"But, you will explain to me whats with you and yellow eyes" She looks at me and I can tell she's still really tired.

"Fine, but not right now, I'm going to try and get back to sleep." She walks over to her bed and as soon as her head hits the pillow, she's out.

I decide to get some sleep of my own and just like Isabel, I'm out when my head hits the pillow.
