Deans daughter

Chaper 24

Ellie

My heart hammered against my chest, my cheeks were burning from my hot tears.

It had been a month since I had been saved by the boys from Lucifer and I was still having nightmares.

I would wake up screaming and crying, lucky for me the person who slept in the room close to me was Sam and he was almost never around because he had lots of things to do, so no one really heard me.

I was still stuck in my bed, the only injuries that I had left were a few small cuts on my face and my injured ankle.

I hadn't tried to walk yet, dean recommended another week or so in bed for my ribs to fully heal.

I still had all of my stitches in but my fingers had healed ish, well they weren't broken anymore I just had to get used to using my hand again.

Sam told me that I should try to move them around a lot and do more things with that hand to make it stronger again, but that was hard to do when I was stuck in bed.

I was strong really bored of being cooped up with nothing to do, and I hate the silence when I was alone.

I always had to sleep with a light on, being in the dark just reminds me too much of the few months that I spent in almost complete darkness, chained to a chair being tortured for no good reason.

Another sob wracked my body as Lucifer's face flashed in my mind once again. It was always the same nightmare.

He was towering above me with that horrible sadistic smirk, his eyes traveling up and down my body, loving all of the marks that he had left on me.

He thrived on my pain.

I did not know that Sam was in the bunker, so when he came rushing into my room to comfort me I was not expecting it.

"I heard you crying, you still having nightmares?" He asked as he sat down beside me on my bed.

I took a good look at him and realized how worn out he looked. It seemed like it was in the late am and I knew I had disturbed him from probably one of the only nights of sleep he could've gotten.

"They're getting worse," I mumbled.

He placed one of his hands on my leg and tried his best to give me a comforting smile but I knew that he didn't want to spend his night in here with me.

"Look, you don't have to stay in here, you can just go back to bed I really don't mind," I suggested.

He looked at me as if I had just said the craziest thing in the world. Part of me wanted him to go back to bed and rest, but I knew that I really wanted him to stay with me.

"I'll be here until you fall asleep again," he told me.

I thanked him and he leaned over and kissed me on the forehead before he took a seat on the couch.

Having him in my room with me made me feel a lot safer than I did before.

I knew that the bunker was the safest place on earth but I still couldn't help but feel like I was going to get kidnapped, it probably had something to do with the nightmares and the visions and the flashbacks constantly making me think that Lucifer was coming back for me.

"Sam?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Yeah?"

"What if he comes back for me?" I mumbled.

"You don't need to worry about him, we took care of it. You just need to get some sleep, because no offense but you look like you haven't had a good night sleep since you came back, apart from those two days where you were simply catching up."

I nodded gently, and I soon fell asleep, knowing that Sam would be there to keep me safe.

Sam

I stayed awake for the rest of the night. I needed to know that she was sleeping peacefully, I hated the thought of her being scared.

I knew that my presence in her room calmed her nerves down a bit, as did the dim lighting. She hated the dark.

Being stuck in a bed for weeks must have been hard, considering how much she hated not being able to do anything. I actually felt really bad for her.

I was always away now, I couldn't bear to look at her like that knowing that there was something I could've done to stop it, although she was almost healed by now I still felt a pang if guilt in my chest every time I looked at her.

I could've helped her, I should've been with her, after all I was meant to be training her the day she got taken by Lucifer but I cancelled because something more Important came up, basically I had a hunt to go on.

How could I have thought that was more important that the only niece I would probably ever have?

I made a foolish mistake and I was going to make sure it never happened again.

Ellie stirred in her sleep, she went to roll onto her side but then winced and lay on her back once again.

I could hear someone walking around in the kitchen and I checked my watch. It was 4:30, why would anyone be awake?

I walked into the kitchen, ready to attack when I saw Jack sitting at the table with his head in his hands.

He didn't seem to notice me and that was when I saw that his shoulders were moving. He was crying.

I got closer and saw a bottle of beer in front of him, looks like he was feeling guilty too.

I knew he was suffering but I couldn't let him drink so I had to step up and play the authority figure.

"Jack, what do you think you're doing?"

Jack looked up at me with a startled jump, he obviously hadn't heard me behind him.

"I- I was just, I was just uhhh" he looked around as if trying to find an answer, but after a few seconds he simply let his shoulders slump and he avoided eye contact with me.

I rolled my eyes and picked up the beer bottle and threw it in the bin, part of me wanted to drink it but even in my tired state I knew that it was too early to drink.

"Why are you awake?" I asked in a gentle voice.

"I couldn't sleep knowing that Ellie was still in pain all because of my father," he answered.

I sighed. I had completely forgotten that Lucifer was jacks father and how this much have been affecting him.

"Am I like him? Will I turn out to be a monster too?" He asked in a broken voice.

"No, of course not, you don't have an evil bone in your body and you are nothing like the devil!" I scolded him.

He looked away from me, I knew he wouldn't believe me.

"How's this, I'm sleeping on Ellie's couch tonight, how about we use the pull out bed and you share the couch with me, that way you'll be with me and Ellie and if anything happens I'll be right beside you," I suggested.

"Thank you Sam," he said with a smile.

I knew dean would be very confused She we all came for breakfast late after sleeping in the same room.

When we walked into Ellie's room and I began to unfold the bed I noticed jack couldn't stop staring at her, he had a look in his eyes that I couldn't place, but I knew better than to say anything to him.

I hadn't seen him visit Ellie in a few days and I figured he felt too guilty to look at her, just like I had been until tonight.

The truth was I had to put my feelings aside, Ellie needed us to be there for her.

As the bed was finally set up jack lazily fell into it and almost immediately fell asleep, whilst I stayed awake for a while longer, making sure they wore both sound asleep before I was.
