Hunter of the Supernatural: (Book 2) Angels and Demons

Chapter 5: Meeting

Chapter 5: Meeting

“No!” Her cry woke Sam as she thrashed against him. He grabbed her and held her arms as he tried to quiet her.

“Tyler shhh, I’m here! You’re ok.” Sam hushed her. Her eyes popped open and Sam could see the fear in the startlingly blue orbs.

“Sammy!” Dean’s voice came towards them as Tyler’s breathing evened out and she looked up at Sam in relief.

“What’s wrong?” Bobby’s voice wasn’t far behind and then Dean was in the room watching them.

“Just a nightmare.” Sam answered looking at Dean. Bobby turned the corner and smiled.

“You were out for nearly two hours Tyler. Is that a record?” Bobby asked her. She put her mask back in place and just gave him the look. The look that said not to mess with her.

“We’re fine. Go back to your research.” Sam waved the two away.

“I’m listening for you. Don’t try anything.” Dean said looking at Tyler. Bobby just chuckled and pulled the older Winchester away.

“You want to talk about it?” Sam asked her when they were gone. He hadn’t let her go and she hadn’t moved.

“I don’t.” She said simply. Her mask of indifference and blankness was back. At least she was getting better.

“You sure?” He asked her. “It must have been pretty bad.”

“You boys have been through worse.” She said simply. “We should get back to researching.”

“Don’t shut me out Tyler.” Sam pleaded. She made no move to leave the confines of his arms so Sam didn’t let go. She smelled different than when he’d last held her. She smelled like acrid sweat, gasoline, leather and smoke. The sweet smell was gone and Sam had bet that she hadn’t been sleeping in motels or taking showers for awhile. Sam understood so he let it go but he made a mental note to remind her to shower before she left.

“Please don’t Sam.” She pleaded. Sam sighed but she nudged his arm and he removed them letting her up.

“Why don’t you go shower and change clothes.” Sam finally said when he realized she was still chewing through the dream and wasn’t ready to talk about it yet.

“I bet I smell. Sorry Sam. Thanks though, for letting me sleep.” She thanked him before trotting out to her car and not letting Sam say a word.

“Sam!” Bobby called. “Was that Tyler?”

“She went to get clothes I think!” Sam called back before turning to the books lying on the table. There had to be a symbol that she could get a tattoo of or something that would hide her. Or maybe the solution was just to take her with them wherever they went.

“Sure she didn’t go to bolt?” Dean yelled. Sam sighed and got up. He walked to the door and before he touched it, it opened and she almost ran into him with her box of shower stuff. She looked up at him and blinked.

“She’s fine Dean.” Sam yelled as she skirted past him with an eye roll. Sam sighed and went back to his research while she went to shower. Almost fifteen minutes later she came down in light washed skinny jeans and a fresh black ACDC t-shirt. Her hair was wet and hanging on her shoulders and she looked chilled but better than she did before.

“Sam?” Tyler said when she walked in the door. Sam looked up at her. “There isn’t anything that will hide me. Go help your brother. Thanks for trying.” She gave him a small smile that was not part of her facade.

“Tyler, it’s not like we can’t help you.” Sam said trying to think of something they could do for her.

“You’ve already helped me more than you know Sam.” She said quietly.

“You look better already.” Dean said from behind her. She didn’t flinch as he came up and put his hand on her shoulder. But any of the openness she had was long gone.

“Thanks Dean.” Tyler answered him. “Is there anything I can help you with?” She offered the boys.

“Tyler get your shit together.” Bobby said gruffly looking her over. “And put some shoes on you idjit. You’re going to catch a cold.”

“Aren’t you running from practically everything under the sun?” Dean asked her watching her carefully.

“I’m not running from most humans.” She said simply with a shrug.

“You know I think I liked you better when I could read you.” Dean mentioned. She gave him a small smirk before going back upstairs presumably to get socks and shoes.

“Tyler never slept that long while she was here before.” Bobby said to the boys.

“You didn’t let her?” Sam asked him. Bobby gave him a scathing look before answering.

“Of course I would have but she didn’t stay too long and was usually working while she was here. She’d work right through the night and then make me breakfast and leave when I got up.” He said.

“I can hear you talking about me. You’re acting like a bunch of old women.” Tyler’s voice said from the top of the stairs as she climbed down her leather jacket and a pair of boots now covering her completely.

“We worry about you. Is that so bad?” Sam asked her. Tyler looked at him.

“There’s nothing to worry about. What have you got Dean?” She asked him getting right down to business.

“About what? I didn’t do any research on the whole invisibility thing.” Dean said looking at her again like she’d grown a second head.

“I couldn’t find anything Tyler. You may be right and there isn’t anything that can protect you from angels and demons.” Sam said sadly. Tyler nodded like she expected those results.

“I guess hex bags are better than nothing. But that’s not what I was talking about. The war between angels and demons. It will wipe out the earth if you guys aren’t careful.” She added.

“Like we don’t already know.” Dean scoffed.

“Tyler-“ A new voice joined the conversation and Tyler’s eyes got wide and she threw a knife right past Dean’s ear.

“What the hell!” Bobby grouched surprised.

“Cas?” Sam exclaimed.

“Don’t hit him!” Dean yelled at her.

“See you around Sam!” She called over her shoulder as she sprinted for the door.

“Cas!” Dean yelled and Castiel popped in front of the door stopping her. She stopped in front of him in her fighting stance.

“I would advise against that course of action.” Cas said but Tyler didn’t relax.

Sorry it took me so long to get back in the game! I still don't have any of my original files back but I decided to start writing again anyway! I'm also busy so I'll update every few days! If you see something is wrong tell me. I'll try to fix it in a timely fashion! Thanks!
