Chapter 4 - Can't Go Home

"I can never go home" - Constance Welch

-Episode 1 Pilot

Sam's POV

"Take me home!" Constance yells. "No." I say. Constance glares at me and the doors lock themselves. I struggle to reopen hem. The gas pedal presses down and the car begins to drive itself. Dean is gonna kill me. Well that is if Constance doesn't beat him to it first. I try and steer but Constance is doing that too.

I continue to try to get the door open. Constance flickers in the back seat. Once we arrive on Breckenridge road the car pulls up in front of Constance's house and stops. The engine shuts off and so the lights. "Don't do this." I say. "I can never go home." She says. "You're scared to go home." I say and look back a her but she isn't there. Where did she go?" I look around and see her in the shotgun seat.

She climbs into my lap, shoving me back against the seat hard enough causing the seat to recline and I struggle. "Hold me, I'm so cold." She says. "You can't kill me. I'm not unfaithful. I've never been." I yell. "You will be. Just hold me." She begs then kisses me as I struggle, reaching for the keys. She pulls away and disappears, a flash of something horrible behind her face as she vanishes.

I look around for a moment, then I feel my chest burning in pain causing me to yell out and yank my hoodie open. I look at my chest and see five new holes burned through the fabric, matching to Constance's fingers. She flickers in front of me, her hand reaching into my chest. A gunshot goes off, Shattering the window and startling Constance.

I see Dean approach, still firing at her. She glares at him and vanishes, then reappears making Dean to keep firing until she disappears again. I manage to sit up and start the car. "I'm taking you home." I snarl and drive forward. The car smashes through the side of the house. Dean opens the passenger side once the car stopped. "Sam! Sam! You okay?" He asks as I breath heavy."I think.." I breathe out. "Can you move?" Skye asks. "Yeah. Help me?" I ask.

Dean leans through the window to give me a hand. Once I get out I see Constance picking up a large framed photograph. "There you go." Dean says and closes the car door. Him and Skye turn and see her. She looks up and glares at them then throws the picture down. A bureau scoots towards us, pinning us against the car.

The lights begin to flicker, Constance looks around scared. Her children must still be here. Water begins to pour down the staircase, she goes over. I look up and at the top are a boy and girl from the photograph. They hold their hands out speak in chorus. "You've come home to us, Mommy." They say. Constance looks at them, with distraught. Suddenly they are behind her, they embrace her tightly and she screams, her image starts to flicker. In a surge of energy, still screaming Constance and the two children melt into a puddle on the floor.

Me, Dean, and Skye shove the bureau over and go look at the spot where Constance and her children vanished. "So this is where she drowned her kids." Dean says. Me and Skye both nod. "That's why she could never go home. She was too scared to face them." I say. "You found her weak spot. Nice work, Sammy." Dean says and slaps me on the chest where I've been injured and walks away with Skye. I laugh through the pain. "Yeah, I wish I could say the same for you. What were you thinking shooting Casper in the face, you freak." I say.

"Hey saved your ass." He smirks. Skye gets in the car and starts it. Highway To Hell by AC/DC begins to play. Dean leans over to look at the car. "I'll tell you one thing. If you screwed up my car?" He asks. "Here we go." Skye giggles. "I'll kill you." He says causing me and Skye to laugh.

~Highway - Night~

Skye has fallen asleep in the back and Dean has put his jacket over her. He needs to ask her out already they both like eachother they are just too fucking stubborn. I hold dad's journal and look at 'Dean 35-11' and then look at the map on my lap as I find the coordinates with a ruler, while a flashlight is tucked between my chin and shoulder. "Okay, here's where Dad went. It's called Blackwater Ridge, Colorado." I say.

Dean nods. "Sounds charming. How far?" Dean asks. "About six hundred miles." I say. "Hey, if we shag ass we could make it by morning." He says and I look at him hesitating. "Dean, I, um..." I say. Dean glances at the road and back. "You're not going." He says. "The interview is in like, ten hours. I gotta be there." I say. Dean nods, disappointed, and returns his attention on the road.

"You know Skye misses you and you will be disappointing her." He says. "She's happy for me. She's happy I got out and found the girl of my dreams. She dreams about the same thing too you know." I say. Maybe this hint will help him man up and tell her his feelings for her. Dean shakes his head. "Yeah, yeah whatever." He says and glances over at me. "I'll take you home." He says.

~Apartment~

We pull up in front of the apartment, Dean still frowning as I get out and lean over to look through the window. Skye now awake. "Call me if you find him?" I ask. Dean nods. "And maybe I can meet with you two later, huh?" I ask. "Yeah all right." Dean says. I pat the car door twice and turn away. "Sam?" I hear Dean says and I turn back around. "You know it was nice getting the team back together." He says and I smile small.

"Yeah." I say. I watch Dean drive off and let out a sigh. I go up to my apartment and once I'm there I let myself in. Everything is dark and quiet. "Jess?" I call out and close the door. "You home?" I ask. I notice a plate of chocolate chip cookies on the table, with a note that reads. 'Missed you! Love you!' Next to a National Geographic. I pick one up and eat it as I sneak into the bedroom, smiling.

Dean and Skye kick the door down. "Sam!" Skye yells and I raise one arm to shield my face. "Jess!" I scream as Dean comes running in. "Sam!Sam!" Dean yells.

Skye's POV


I look up and see Jess. "Skye don't look!" Dean yells at me. "No!No!" Sam yells. Dean grabs Sam off the bed and bodily shoves him out the door, Sam continues to struggle all the way. "Jess!Jess!No!" He yells as flames engulf the apartment.

~After the fire~

A firetruck is now parked outside the building. Me and Dean watch as firemen and police keep back gawkers. Dean turns to me and hugs me. "You okay Skye?" He whispers and I nod. "Check on your brother." I say as I pull away and get in the car. I hear something get tossed in the trunk then Sam say. "We got work to do." Then the trunk slams shut.

Maybe Dean's rightHunter's don't get happy endings. They only get heart ache, pain, anger,revenge, sadness, but most of all. Hunter's only get...Death.
