Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling and Sam Winchester

Esme studied Dean’s face, watching his eyes go wide and stammer for a second. Her eyes softened as she looked at him, seeing that he didn’t normally care about his own wellbeing. His next actions told her he was trying to find the words to brush her off, and it hurt. As he spoke, she held his shaking hand in her and gave it a squeeze. She could feel his pain as if it were her own. Taking her one arm from around him. She placed her hand on his, so now she was holding his shaking hand with both of hers. Her eyes saddened as he spoke about wanting to kill Madison and not knowing how to think about it.

It broke her heart to see him in such a state of mind, and she wanted nothing more than to help him out of it. At his touch on her cheek, she closed her eyes briefly and leaned her face into his hand. At his words, she squeezed his hand and shook her head gently with a sigh. “I don’t think that’s possible.” she mumbled. Esme looked into his eyes, seeing that he was being honest about what he said about Madison. She knew he mean it, and knew there would be no stopping him if she ended up hurting someone. She knew that deep down she would have to do it as well, but didn’t like or want to think about it. She shook the thought from her mind and focused on Dean again. “I’ll drive.” she said with a slight smile.

Sam didn’t think too much about Madison brushing his hair from his face, and behind his ear, he knew she was still learning. He listened to Castiel, then looked at Madison when she apologized, but shook his head with a smile to let her know it was okay. “Okay, thanks Cas.” he said as he took the paper. Once Castiel and Madison left, he looked at the piece of paper and memorized the address. Sam walked over to Dean and Esme, feeling a bit awkward intruding on their moment. “Um…… Cas and Madison have gone to this address.” he said handing them the paper.

Esme took one of her hands from Dean’s and took the paper from Sam and looked at it and nodded. “We can meet you there.” she told him. “We’re going to take a detour on our way.” she added with a small smile. She got a nod from Sam as he understood what she meant. She turned back to Dean with a small smile. “You ready?”

Esme Stirling

Esme left her face in Dean’s chest, taking in everything about him in that moment as he ran his fingers through her hair. Within a few minutes, her shoulders came down, and she sighed heavily, wrapping her free arm around him. The pain building in her chest had started to die down and fade, and she could feel that Madison had finally calmed, thanks to Sam. She breathed deeply again before she turned her head to look at Madison and Sam, her head still laying on Dean’s chest. She saw how Madison was clinging to Sam.

She didn’t have the words to explain how glad she was that Sam could calm her. “What a hell of a day this has been.” she whispered. She was glad that she didn’t have to go through all this alone. She knew she would have been in worse shape than she was now, and probably would have lost control before being able to calm Madison. “I feel like I could do with a drink and a nap.” Which was true. She felt mentally and physically drained from everything that had happened today, not to mention going on only a few hours of sleep didn’t help.

Esme pulled back a little so she could look up into Dean’s face. She studied his face for a moment as she pulled her hand away from her chest and placed it on his. “Are you doing okay?” she asked softly. “And be honest with me.” Being an Empath, she would know if he was being truthful or not. She was pretty much a human lie detector. She hoped he would be honest with her and not try to sugarcoat anything too much for her.

Sam Winchester

Sam looked back at Madison after Dean gave him a nod to say that he and Esme were alright. That sent a wave of relief to wash over him, causing his shoulders to relax fully and his heartbeat and breathing to calm more. He rubbed her back to continue to calm her as she hugged him. He could tell that she was listening to his heartbeat as he had suggested to her. When she pulled back, he loosened his hug and looked down into her face. He watched as the glow slowly faded from her eyes and went back to blue.

He let out a sigh at the same time she did, seeing that she had calmed enough to control herself. Sam smiled at her question, finding it amusing that she would ask if he was okay when she was the one that had been attacked. “I’m the one that should be asking you that.” he told her. “But yes, I’m fine. Are you okay?” He studied her as he waited for her answer. He wanted to make sure she was before he fully let go of her and they made their way to the place Castiel had prepared for her.

He knew she was excited about getting there, but he wanted to be completely sure she was mentally stable before going. They didn’t need her going nuclear while they were on the road.

Esme Stirling

Esme watched Cason as he lowered his eyes to the floor, realizing he picked up on her little warning, which she was glad. She hated to be too blunt with people, but knew there were times it was necessary. She was almost surprised that she had actually gotten through to him, but since he pretty much confessed his feelings for her, it was less surprising. She sighed a bit as she caught the brief look from Bobby. She could tell he was checking to see if they were still there. She then looked back at Sarah and gave her a smile.

She looked over at the door, then to Cason. “I’m going to go clear my head with a walk before everything hits the fan.” she told him. She then placed a hand on Sarah’s head and gave it a scratch before heading to the door. She placed her hand on the doorknob and looked back at him. “And don’t go worrying yourself. I’ll be fine.” she smiled. She then gave the doorknob a turn and opened the door, letting Sarah walk out first. She closed to the door behind her as she stepped onto the porch, then took in a deep breath of the cool air.

“Hey Violet.” she smiled, giving her a scratch under the chin. She then adjusted her jacket and zipped it up, then walked off the porch. “You girls coming?” she asked the two hounds as she turned to them. She then turned back to the junkyard when they joined her. She then set off and started her walk, taking in the vehicles she passed by. As she made her way through the junkyard, she began to hum to herself and the two hounds. She could feel her mind clearing and her body relaxing so she could think clearer about everything that was coming up.

Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling

Esme’s right hand had crept up to her upper chest as she felt pain growing within it. It was already starting, and that was making her worried. Madison’s emotions were so strong it didn’t take much for her to feel them. As she watched Sam take Madison’s face and talk to her to calm her, she realized that they had gotten closer than she had thought in such a short time. She had to admit that she was glad that she wasn’t the only one that could calm her. She then zoned out a bit as she concentrated on keeping herself calm.

She was still aware of how many were around her, but not really hearing much of the talking going on. Her head was swimming with thoughts of what she would be capable of if she were consumed with Madison’s anger. Her thoughts were also filled with wanting to go over and help Sam calm her, but she knew she might not be of much use right now. She unconsciously backed up a bit more as her gaze fixed on Sam and Madison. When Dean came up and put his arms around her shoulders, she gave a small jump.

She took a deep breath and slowly let it out when he held her close to his chest. His simple action of protecting her calmed her a bit. She freed her left arm from their closeness and placed it on his arm. As she waited for Sam to work his magic, she closed her eyes and concentrated on Dean’s breathing and heartbeat, as well as on how he held her close to his chest and the way he smelled. It was slowly working to bring her to a calm point, but she was still tense. As Dean pulled her face up to meet his, she looked back at him and gave a weak smile at his question. “I will be once she’s calmer.”

Sam Winchester

Sam continued to hold Madison’s face gently in his hands. He tried to stay calm as he looked into her glowing eyes. As she spoke, his eyes softened, and he wiped her tear with his thumb. He was going to answer her, but Castiel spoke first. As he spoke, Sam stayed quiet, but didn’t take his eyes off her. He nodded to Castiel’s words, knowing what he said was true. This was only their first attempt to kill her, and since it didn’t work, they would be back to try again.

Sam felt the wind calm as Madison learned she wasn’t dying, and when she gazed into his eyes, he looked right back. He was almost afraid to blink, in case it broke the connection between them. He softened his gaze to let her know it was going to be ok. “There we go. Just keep looking into my eyes and focusing on me.” he told her. “We’ll get through this.” He continued to look into her blue eyes, taking in her features and the way she was studying his eyes. The wind finally stopped, and he sighed in relief.

He wrapped his arms around her and held her close as she clung to him. “Hey, it's okay.” he whispered softly, rubbing her back. “I told you we could get through it.” Sam looked up at Castiel, then over at Dean and Esme. He hadn’t even noticed that Dean had walked over to protect Esme from what could have happened. He was about to look back at Madison, but stopped when he saw Esme take a deep breath then close her eyes as she placed her forehead on Dean’s chest. Sam gave Dean a look that said ‘Is she okay?’ as he looked at her.

Marabella

Bella tried to fight him as he grabbed her chin and forced her to drink some water, but she couldn’t being tied up. She turned her hand once he had pulled back from her, she didn’t even look at him when he spoke about her stubbornness. She was going to snap back at his comment of being spoiled, but his sudden kiss interrupted her. She gave a squeal of disapproval and attempted to bite him, but he pulled back too soon. “How dare you!” she yelled at him. Bella looked toward the direction the howl came from. She held back the smile that threatened to show itself. That was no wolf. She knew that howl belonged to Peren. Once her ankles were free of the bindings she went along, not feeling she really had a choice.

Esme Stirling

Esme watched him as he took in what she said. She knew he wanted to lock her up even before he said he was half tempted to. At his mention of how the Winchester’s weren’t their strongest apart, gave a sigh. “I’m aware of that.” She looked towards the stairs that lead to the basement. She knew that this was going to be hard on all the Winchesters with Sam being locked in the vault. She looked back at Cason as he brushed his knuckles against her cheek and saw his pout. His pout showed her that her words had gotten through to him, and that she would not change her mind.

When he spoke, she had to smirk a bit at his words. She knew that he’d go on a killing spree if anything were to happen to her during the fight, and she nodded to let him know she understood. She was about to answer when she saw Bobby pointing out a sigil to Natalia, then looked back at Cason. “I’ll be as careful as I can. I don’t plan on dying anytime soon.” she said with a small smile. She then turned to face him, looking him in the eyes. “What I don’t get is…… Why the hell do you like having me around?”

It really did confuse her, she hadn’t really given him a reason to like having her around. Since they had met, she’s passed out, and he had to take her to a motel, she shot him, hit him, and now he had his hellhounds protecting her. If she was honest, she’s been nothing short of a handful and a pain in the ass for him. By all rights he should want anything to do with her and want to get away from her as soon as possible, or even want to kill her. But no, he flat out tells her he kinda likes having her around and doesn’t want anything to ruin it.

Supernatural - After The End

Esme Stirling

Esme had shifted her weight to one leg and crossed her arms over her chest as she listened to Madison and Castiel talk. She was also still going over what he said about Madison not being an angel. It confused her more as she thought about it. She focused back on Castiel when he told Madison that he had been preparing a building for her, and had warded the place to keep everything but God out. It sounded like it would be pretty safe for her. She sighed a bit in relief that they had a place to take her.

She then felt a rush of excitement hit her just before Madison turned to face her. A smile came to her from the excitement she felt and how happy she was to have a house to go to, but her smile faded quickly as the angel appeared and stabbed Madison. “Noooo, Madison!” she yelled. She bolted to Madison and reached her, just as Dean had, and placed a hand on her arm and shoulder. Her eyes were like saucers and full of worry. She didn’t even look at the angel as Castiel took care of him.

She glanced at Dean, then back to Madison as she waved Dean’s hand away from the blade and slowly pulled it out. She flinched the slightest bit when the blade hit the sidewalk. Esme dropped her gaze to where the blade had once been protruding from Madison’s stomach. To her surprise, it wasn’t bleeding. She stepped back to take all of Madison in, having trouble registering what she had just seen. She looked down at the angel blade on the ground. She was unfamiliar with it, but could tell it was made for an angel.

If an angelic weapon couldn’t harm this girl, and Castiel says she’s not an angel, then what the hell is she? Esme soon grew tense as she felt anger and fear come to her from Madison. She looked at Madison’s face, seeing her eyes glowing amber and bright. This scared her and she wasn’t one that easily got scared. She watched Castiel step up and place a hand on Madison’s shoulder, only to have her shrug it off, followed by a slight wind surrounding her. Esme looked at Dean and Sam to see if they had any answers.

She saw Dean looking at Sam the same way she was looking at them. Esme worried they wouldn’t be able to keep her calm and Madison would lose control or her anger would get the better of her. Madison’s emotions came in stronger than any she had ever been around. Dean’s was a close second. She didn’t know how it would affect her if she became overwhelmed by Madison’s anger. She watched as Sam slowly made his way over to Madison.

Sam Winchester

Sam continued watching the interaction between Madison and Castiel. Listening intently as he told her about the place he had been preparing for her. It was a relief to hear that Castiel had a place that would keep her safe. It put his mind at ease about having a place for her to go that would hide her from essentially everything but God, as Castiel had said. Sam smiled at her brief moment of excitement, but it vanished and morphed into shock when an angel appeared and shoved their blade into Madison’s back.

“Noooo!” Sam yelled and ran to her. Dean and Esme beat him to her. So, all he could do was hang back as they looked over her in as much shock as he was. He saw as Castiel took care of the angel, then took a step back as the body fell to the ground. His attention went back to Madison at Dean’s look to chime in. “Madison. Wait.” he said to her. But he spoke too late. She had already pulled the blade from her back and had dropped it on the ground. He looked at the wound, surprised that it wasn’t bleeding.

He was also surprised that the angel blade hadn’t killed her. If that didn’t kill her, then what did that mean she was? Sam tensed when he saw her eyes glowing amber and bright. He knew this couldn’t be good and could end up badly in a hurry. Sam looked at Dean as he looked at him for answers, then looked back to Madison as he walked up to her as a slight wind surrounded her. “Madison.” he said softly, taking her face into his hands. “You need to breathe.” he told her. “Listen to my voice and don’t let yourself lose control.”

He hoped that the same method from the diner would work again. If just hearing his voice didn’t work, he would wrap his arms around her and pull her into a hug to try to calm her.

Esme Stirling

Esme walked back into the house, watching as Sarah made her way in as well. She gave a last look to Violet before the door closed, only to hear a knock soon after. She looked at the door, confused. If they didn’t smell like the house, why wasn’t Violet attacking them? She then stole a glance at Sarah, who was growling. Esme looked back at the door when Bobby opened it to reveal Benjamin behind it. “How has he slept in the car all this time?” she whispered.

When Sarah stopped growling and moved closer to her, it was a bit of an odd feeling, but she let the back of her hand brush against Sarah. Esme looked over at Cason as he turned to her. Even before he spoke, she had a feeling she knew what he was going to say, but she listened anyway. “I know, she’s quite large and could do quite a bit of damage in here.” she began when he finished. “If I have to be in the house, I’d prefer to be in the middle of it. I don’t like the idea of being in a room unless I were to rest after what happened earlier.

But while everything is going down, I will not hide in a room. I’m going to do what I can to help. Plus, it’s not like I’m going to be in here all alone.” she told him. She was firm in what she told him and looked him in the eyes as she spoke. She wouldn’t let anyone shove her in a room to hide while everything was going on. She was going to be a part of it all, even if she didn’t see any action while in the middle of the house. She knew that if Cason was pulled away or injured, she’d still have back up.

She also knew if she somehow ended up outside, she’d have back up there too. “I know you’ve vowed to keep me safe, but that doesn’t mean you can just lock me up somewhere when things get dicey.” she told him. “I mean, you could definitely try, but I’m sure I’d find a way out.”

If Ironwolf drags Marabella with him right now, she going to either have to hop or fall flat on her face. You had him bind her ankles and he didn't unbind them before dragging her along with him.

Marabella

Bella gasped when they hit the drop off. There wasn’t much she could do as she tumbled down the gully wash, except release muffled sounds of pain as she bounced off of things. Once hitting the bottom, she curled in on herself with a moan of pain. She had little time to collect herself before he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder again. She hissed in pain at the action. She hurt all over from the tumble. At his words, she gave what sounded like a growl. As he ran through the creek with her, she held back most of her cries of pain.

Only small whimpers could be heard. It relieved Bella when they finally stopped for him to rest. She hissed in pain as he removed her from his shoulder and leaned against the boulder. After he removed the gag, she turned her head away from the waterskin and slowly slid down the boulder to sit down. She brought her bound hands up and rubbed her face where the gag had been. She kept quiet, but did glare at him as she continued to rub her face. As she rubbed her face, she realized her hands were feeling a little numb. She brought them from her face and carefully flexed her fingers, so as to not cause more pain in her wrists than she already had from being bound.
