Part 3 - Saving Benny
When I walk out of the bathroom I look up to see Dean staring at me. "What?" I ask as I run a hand through my hair. He shakes his head and turns back to Benny as he says, "Okay so here's the plan," he lays out the plan that has me doing nothing but twiddling my thumbs and I roll my eyes.
"Look I'm okay with you and Benny offing the vamp but what I'm not okay with is me sitting here not doing anything." I hear Dean let out a sigh as he rolls his eyes, "Look why not instead of you calling your brother; I watch him and that other hunter. I promise I won't do anything to them I'll just observe." Dean looks at Benny then back at me and says, "Okay,"
Dean quickly tells me where Sam and Martin (The other hunter) are going to be and I nod. When we all get ready to leave the motel I pull Benny aside, "If you need any help just call my name, I'll hear you and come running." He smiles as he kisses my forehead, "Always a pleasure."
As he turns and walks toward the door I catch Dean staring at me again, he quickly turns away and starts to follow Benny toward the door when I say, "Hey Dean," he turns and looks back at me, "Take care of him, and yourself." As I say the words he nods and walks out the door. When I am alone I let out a sigh of relief as an unknown hunger starts to grip at my body. I wrap my arms around my stomach and fall to the floor.
"I see your Demon side is hungry." I hear my father's familiar voice and I look up to see him staring down at me. "I see, so that is what's happening to me." I force myself to stand and face him. "Sorcha, when are you going to just give up and come home?" I start to take slow deep breaths as I reply, "I don't know when are you going to stop trying to kill Meg?" I watch as he grits is teeth and clenches his fists, "When you finally decide to kill the Winchesters, by the way I see you've met Dean."
My face remains emotionless but inside my body is panicking. "What about him?"
"Sorcha don't try my patience, must I remind you about your brothers' little mishap?" My thoughts go back to my older brother Gavin. "You can't touch Gavin, I sent him to heaven a long time ago." Crowley raises his eyebrow as he says, "I may not be able to hurt that pathetic excuse for a son but I can hurt your new friends."
I instantly think of Benny and my eyes turn black, "You won't touch them, you forget father you may be the King of Hell but I'm still much more powerful than you are!" I watch as my father's eyes turn red, "Then don't try my patience!" He yells and my eyes turn back to their regular green.
"Daddy, I love you but I won't let you hurt Benny." He raises and eyebrow and his eyes return to their regular greenish brown.
"You seem to have found a friend." I let out a sigh as I say, "Yes, he really is a good friend." My father smiles as he says, "Well I am glad you found a friend, that isn't a demon whore." I raise an eyebrow and he puts his hands up. "My apologies," I walk over and hugging him say, "I love you daddy." He hugs me back and says, "Must we always fight?" I smile into his chest and say, "It's in our genetics."
He laughs and then pulling away from me says, "Well I must be getting back," I smile as I look up at him and nod. "You are a very busy man." He smiles and then kisses my cheek as he disappears. I let out a sigh as I look over at Myka lying on the bed with her feet in the air and smile. I walk over to my bag and pull out my cell phone and put it in the pocket of my jeans and grabbing my keys head for my car leaving Myka alone in my room. I quickly make my way to where Dean said Sam and Martin were and wait patiently as they search through Benny's things. All of the sudden Sam runs to his car and speeds off leaving Martin all alone. I contemplate following Sam but something felt off about Martin so I decided to follow him instead.
I silently climb out of my car and follow at a close distance behind the hunter as he makes his way down the road. After a few miles I hear a phone go off and look up to see Martin answer his. I figure it is Dean saying that he had ganked the rogue vamp and to leave Benny alone. The hunter hangs his phone up but continues in the same direction. After a while I realize he is heading toward Benny's family restaurant and my eyes widen.
"What the hell." I say quietly as I quickly teleport myself to the little restaurant and walk inside. I look around to see if Benny is there but have no luck. I see Benny's great granddaughter and smile as I walk up to the bar and get her attention. "What can I get you sweetheart?" I smile as I say, "Can I get a glass of water for now?" She smiles and nods as she hands me a glass of water.
About twenty minutes later Martin walks through the door and sits in a booth. I look down at my phone and mentally slap myself when I realize I hadn't gotten Dean or Benny's numbers. As the restaurant starts to close down the hunter starts to act weird to her making her uncomfortable, I call Benny's great granddaughter over to me and say, "Are you okay?" She looks from Martin over to me and says, "I don't know. There's something about that man that gives me the creeps."
"I agree with you, why don't I stay here until you close, it's better if there are two of us; just in case he turns out to be a pervert." She nods as she says, "I'm Elizabeth," I smile as I say; "I'm Sorcha." She goes back to work leaving me to quietly eyeball Martin. Something did seem off about him.
When Elizabeth asks him to leave so she can close up he makes his move and jumps her. I quickly run over to her only to have Martin throw salt at me face. "Ah!" I scream as the salt burns my eyes. "Sorcha!" Elizabeth screams out as she tries to fight against Martin. "It burns!" I scream out trying to look around for Elizabeth. All of the sudden I am knocked unconscious. When I open my eyes I see Martin holding a knife to Elizabeth's neck. The lights are off and when I try to move I am unable too. I look down to see a devil's trap and let out a angry growl. "Well look who decided to wake up." I look over at him and say, "I'm only gonna say this once, let her go!" he lets out a laugh as he says, "Sorry DEMON, but that's not going to happen." I am about to say something when I see headlights pull up outside.
"What did you do?" I say the fear thick in my voice. I try again to move with no avail. I knew who it was before he even walked through the door. His blue eyes meet mine and my heart clenches. I watch as the two converse back and forth. When Benny takes a step forward Martin makes a small cut on Elizabeth's next and my body starts to convulse. My mouth waters and my eyes turn black. "See what they really are!" Martin yells out and I clamp my eyes closed. When I open them again Benny is laying his head on the bar, giving himself up in order to save Elizabeth. As I look at him then at Elizabeth tears start to pour from my eyes. "No, please Martin you don't have to do this! Please!" I cry out as Martin makes his way over to Benny. When Martin raises his machete Elizabeth and I yell out in unison, "NO!"
In an instant I see Benny tear Martin to shreds. My eyes widen as he turns to Elizabeth, "Benny no this isn't you!" He turns from her to look at me and his fangs disappear. I let out a sigh of relief as he turns and walks outside. "Elizabeth," She looks at me with tears in her eyes and then turns and follows Benny outside, leaving me alone with Martin's shredded corpse. "You should've left him alone." I say as I sit down, clearly no one was going to let me out of the trap. I close my eyes and instantly the vision of Benny's rage filled face fills my head and start to cry again. I cry for Benny, for him having to kill someone in front of his only family. I burry my face in my knees and wait patiently for someone to save me.
Moments later I hear the screen door of the restaurant open and I look up to see Dean walk through the door. He looks at me and I point to behind the bar tears still pouring from my eyes. He walks over to the bar and looking over clenches his jaw. He walks over to me and leaning down says, "Are you okay?" I look up into his green eyes and shake my head. "No, I'm not okay. I just had to watch my friend kill someone to save his loved ones life; would you be okay?" He shakes his head and pulling out his flask pours some of the liquid on the outside of the devil's trap and wipes it away making it possible for me to move. I let out a sigh but when I try to move my body doesn't respond. Before I can do anything else Dean reaches down and lifts me up into his arms. I contemplate making him put me down but I am mentally spent.
I hold tight to him as he carries me out of the restaurant and to his Impala. I take in his scent of leather, jack, and apple pie. As if it was some kind of drug I suddenly feel calm and relaxed. He opens the passenger side door and gently slides me into the seat. When he pulls away from me I instantly feel a void missing from my body. I watch as he walks back over to Elizabeth and comforts her. Then he and Benny quickly clean up the mess and burn Martins body. I watch as Benny and Dean have a conversation and Benny looks over at me and I force a smile. He turns to leave and I feel my body move on its own as I climb out of the car and run over to Benny and wrap my arms around him. "I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect her!" I cry out as the tears start to pour from my eyes.
I feel him hug me back, "It's alright darlin' I don't blame you. You did what you could considering the circumstances."
"I don't know how I will ever be able to," he pulls away and peering down into my green eyes says, "You listen here, I don't blame you for anything that happened tonight. I just need to be alone for a little while." He turns to Dean and says, "Now I know the two of you might not get along but Dean, I need you to look after Sorcha until I have had some time to think."
I pull away from Benny and look up into his blue eyes and say, "Where are you going?" He leans down and gently kisses my forehead as he says, "I just need some time. I'll find you when I'm feeling better." I open my mouth to say something but instantly close it and nod. "Dean," Benny says as he motions for him to take me. Dean gently holds me as I watch Benny drive away.
"Come on, I'll take you back to your motel." I look up into Dean's green eyes and say tears falling from my eyes, "Thank you." He nods and leads me back over to the Impala and I slide into the passenger seat. When he gets into the car I look over at him and say, "If you don't mind can I lean up against you? I know it may sound weird but I don't want to be alone." He lets out a sigh as he nods and lifts up his arm for me to move over next to him. I slide across the seat and snuggling up to him say, "I'm sorry I couldn't protect them." He remains quiet as he puts the car in drive and heads toward the motel. As his scent seeps into my soul I find myself slowly falling asleep. It didn't take me long to pass out.
When I open my eyes Dean is carrying me into my room. "Sorry to wake you." He says as he closes the motel room door behind him. "Its fine," I say holding onto him for dear life. He gently lays me down on the bed and then turns and heads for the door, but before he reaches it he turns and says, "Thank you, Benny told me how you stopped him from tearing his granddaughter apart." I sit up in my bed and nod, "I wish I could've kept Martin alive too."
"Sorcha, Martin was crazy and he took things too far. Don't feel bad for his death." I look up into his green eyes and say, "Why are you being so nice to me?" He looks down at the floor as he says, "I don't know but for some reason I don't like seeing you upset." I smile a half smile as I say, "I know what you must be thinking; I'm a sorry excuse for a demon."
"That's not what I'm thinking at all." Dean says as he walks over to my bed and sets down in front of me. "Look you're the only half decent demon I know, and believe me I've known a lot." I nod as I remember all the demons that had died going up against the Winchesters. "Sorcha, you're different; you are more human then you are demon and that's why I like you." My head snaps toward him.
"You like me?" He nods and I smile as I say, "You definitely had a funny way of showing it."
He smiles as he says, "Well any demon that has enough of a heart to help a tortured soul is a good person in my book." I smile and without thinking I lean forward and gently place a kiss on Dean's lips and say, "Thank you for being the first human that has ever been nice to me." I look up to see Dean staring at me a look of uncertainty on his face. "Oh I'm sorry I," before I can apologize his lips are on mine.
My eyes widen at first then I start to get lost in him. I am suddenly aware of his hand on my neck holding our lips together. I smile into his kiss and reach up to cup his face in my hand. I hear Myka let out a low growl and I quickly pull away from Dean. I look up into his green eyes to see them glossed over with want. "Dean, what are we doing?" I ask saying anything to keep what was inevitably going to happen next happen. He clears his throat as his eyes turn back to their complacent green. "I think I should go." Dean says as he stands and walks toward the door, right before he makes it to the door he turns and hands me a card.
"Here if you ever need any help, just call me." Taking the card I smile and say, "If I ever get into trouble you'll be the first one I call." He smiles back at me and then quickly makes his way out the door. Moments later I hear the Impala roar to life and speed away. I let out a sigh as I reach up and trace the tingling he has left on my lips. I hear Myka whine and I smile. "It's okay, if you want to go you can go too." I watch as she disappears through the wall her tail wagging. I lie back down on the bed and suddenly find myself smiling like an idiot. I hold tight to Dean's card as I quickly fall asleep.
