Dragging yourself down the steps of the bunker you tried your best to ignore your Uncle and Dad's worried stares. Thankfully, they didn't have time to question anything. Your head was bearing sharp pains, making you feel ten times worse. But, again, you said nothing.
"How did you get here?" Dad's defensive statement caused you to glance up form your feet. There was Mick. He had a glass of whiskey and was sat comfortably at the table. Her smiled "Alright lads...you know, this is our building. It's men of letters."
"It's creepy." You mumbled, rolling your eyes.
"That key of yours opens up the door to every Men Of Letters bunker there is."
"What do you want?"
"It's urgent, so here me out. A few weeks back our lab picked up some sort of cosmic energy-"
"A nephilum." Dad nodded, the three of you were well aware.
"You knew?" Mick looked offended, like some sort of trust between you had broken. You didn't remember making something to be broken in the first place.
"We had her." Uncle Dean admitted.
"Had?"
"She got away."
"You let her get away!" Mick was in shock.
"She wanted to get rid of the baby too. We didn't think she was just going to up and run like that. Besides, while you lot were off sipping tea they were locked up!" You snapped at him.

Everyone hesitated and fell silent. You glared at him before saying "I'm going to bed. Don't try to wake me up."

You trudged away from them, feeling their confused stares on your back. Making your way to your bedroom, you closed the door and sunk to the floor. Your head was now throbbing.

You clutched it, trying not to hit it against something in some sort of desperate attempt to stop it. Flashes of the one before Claire, the experiment, appeared in your mind. You hissed in pain. This wasn't normal. This can't have been-

A surge of agony broke you from the thought, making you curl into a ball, shaking lightly from the never ending pain. Your hands clenched into fists. It wasn't fair. Nothing was fair.
Why didn't she survive it? Why didn't she survive?
You were angry and desperately trying to keep yourself calm. Each breath was harder than the last. Your grip tightened around your hands as you pictured her screams and cries for help.
Anger was swarming inside your mind and everything changed to shapes. Reds and oranges took over as the vibrant hues danced in your vision. The rage was reaching it's peak, a breakdon was rising up rapidly as your felt your hands shake in attempt to free themselves from their own grip. Your heartbeat throbbed loudly in your mind, muffling out any other sounds.

Then you broke.

At first you heard nothing, but a deafening white noise as it pierced your ears. Then a smash. 
Everything fell dark as shards of glass scattered about the floor. Some sliced through your own skin, but you didn't even flinch. You shouted and cried, burying your head in your hands, bringing your knees to your chest. You coughed- your head now ready to explode.
A harsh cough escaped your throat, sending acid and bile up with it, it seeped through the edges of your mouth, making you choke on the bitter foam.
Then, you felt nothing.

"Anyone seen, Y/N?" Mick asked, walking in on two slightly hung-over and very tired Winchester brothers.
"She told us not to wake her and judging from the way she was I'm keen to obey." Dean explained, taking a sip of water.
"Alright. I just thought I outta say sorry. She wasn't wrong, to be fair." Mick admitted.
"If she's up she'll be in her room. Knock and wait." Dad ordered, making sure an angry teenager wasn't added to the list of problems.
"Alright, cheers."

When Mick reached Y/N's room he knocked on the door and waited for almost a full minute before sighing. "Here goes nothing." He mumbled, turning the door handle. Only, when he opened the door he saw something he wasn't expecting. "Y/N?" Mick asked hesitantly, hurrying over to where her unconscious body was. She was on her side, eyes closed, breathing even. If it weren't for the cuts along her body from the broken light bulb, it would have looked like she was sleeping peacefully. "Sam!" Mick called in a panic.
Running footsteps sounded as Sam sprinted towards Y/N's room. When he arrived he nearly stepped back at the sight of it.
