Unexpected Twists (Supernatural Fanfic)

Chapter 25 - Highway to Hell

Shit

The room is spinning, my visions blurry, and oh God when did Sam get two heads?

"Jocelyn? Baby are you alright?" Sam's concerned voice cuts through the buzzing in my head and my eyes squeeze shut. I shake my head to try and clear it but it only makes it worse.

'Save the worlds', what the Hell does that mean. I think to myself, how many frigging worlds are there!? I can't do this, I can't I can't.

Shouts of "why me, I can't, I'm not strong enough, why" echo in my head and all of a sudden my stomach lurches and I drop towards the ground, but strong arms wrap around me from behind before I hit the hard surface.

Sam kneels there on the ground and holds me against his chest; these feelings of weakness, of panic, helplessness, confusion, of fear, they're some of the worst I've ever felt.

"Babe talk to me," Sam whispers in my ear. "It's gonna be fine, you're okay."

I shudder and struggle to take in a shaky breath but finally I manage to calm down a little, to reclaim a bit of my sanity. I push myself off of Sam's chest and raise my head to look at his worried face. He reaches out a hand to brush away tears I didn't know were falling and my own hand raises to catch his before he can take it away.

I know my eyes reflect how overwhelmed I feel as I stare up at my hunter. "It's too much, Sam." I say. "Why me? Why? I thought I was normal. I thought I was just an ordinary girl who got thrown into an extraordinary place all by accident but now this!? I'm a fucking screwy angel and I don't know what the hell I'm doing Sam! Sam I-" I squeeze my eyes shut and shake my head, gripping tight to Sam's hand in mine. "I can't."

I hear Sam sigh and suddenly I'm being pulled into a hug, my eyes open as he says, "how many times am I going to have to tell you how extraordinary you are? That prophecy is about you for a reason, Joce, and don't think for a second that you're not strong enough to fulfill it."

"But Sam-"

"No, shut up. You're not alone, Jocelyn. Never will be. I will be by your side no matter what happens."

Despite everything, Sam somehow manages to make me smile.

Then, Jo speaks up in a quiet voice. "How could you ever think you'd have to do this alone?"

"Because she's a moron, that's how." Dean smirks.

"You." I point at Dean accusingly. "You shut up." But I'm smiling.

Dean chuckles, but his expression becomes serious. "For real, Joce. You're insane for thinking you'd ever have to take on whatever this is by yourself."

"Call it a momentary lapse of good judgement." I say with a sigh, running a hand through my tangled brown hair. Maybe I did over react a bit? I won't be alone, not in the slightest. I take a second to glance around the room at every person here. Wren, who was already like a sister, to Indio, who I haven't known long but I'm sure we'll get along great, and Jo and Charlie who became my best friends in basically a split second. Then there's Dean and Cas, who went from being just hot fictional characters to protective brothers pretty much. And Sam, what do I even say about Sam? Anything I did would fall short of being exactly what I feel, all I can say is that he's the reason I feel so strong, and he doesn't even know it.

"What is it?" Wren asks, probably wondering why I've spaced out.

I just smile at her warmly. "Nothing. Just happy we took that trip to Canada." I say.

She laughs, and I join her, before a sudden crash and a loud shout from outside the bunker steals away our laughter and makes my eyes go wide and my stomach drop. "Shit." I state.
