❝  prologue ❞

LAWRENCE, KANSAS

Deanna usually waited for her dad to come home. She'd continuously fight with her mom, but she won't sleep. As usual, Mary and Deanna went to say goodnight to her baby brother, Sammy.

"Come one, let's say goodnight to your baby brother," Mary said switching the lights on.

Deanna leaned over the crib and pecked the baby's nose. "Night Sammy!"

Mary leaned over the crib as well and kissed his temple, "goodnight love."

"Princess!" The four-year-old turned to see her father John Winchester grinning, his head on the door.

"Daddy!" Deanna jumped into her father's arms, pressing her cheek to his, and gave him a sloppy kiss.

John swirled Deanna around and said, "you think Sammy's ready to toss his football yet?" Giggling Deanna shook her head.

"It's time for bed sweetheart." said Mary tiredly and kissed his cheek, "you got her?"

"I got her." John walked over to the crib and kissed baby Sam, "happy dreams Sam."

Switching off the nursery light, John carried Deanna out of the room. He entered her room, which was just next to Sammy's room. He switched on the lights, tugged her into bed and slid next to her.

"Daddy!" Deanna babbled.

"Yes bug," he said, brushing her hair off her face.

"Story!"

"It's too late for a story bug. Tomorrow I promise." Kissing her temple, he got off the bed only to be pulled back.

"Please," her voice became small. Unable to say no to her puppy eyes, he sat next to her, grabbing a book that was not for kids.

"Today we will read, how to change a battery of a car," John smirked.

"No!" Deanna whined, slamming her face on the pillow.

"Oh yeah! Now first, one has to park the car at a levelled surface... " John went reading on and on, only to find his daughter in deep slumber.

"Works like a charm," he smiled to himself as he watched his daughter sleep peacefully. Switching off the lights, he went back to his room to his wife.

Deanna jumped on a cloud, a unicorn sat next to her, waiting for her to get into the castle. The four-year-old suddenly felt the heat. She looked down to see the cloud disappear and she fell right into a hot tub. What a Loony Tunes moment!

Deanna gasped awake. She could hear her mother scream. John slammed the door open and dragged the blonde out of her room. The smoke was everywhere, even in Sammy's nursery. John looked up and covered Deanna's eyes. Mary Winchester, in flames. Her poor innocent wife was murdered!

"Daddy!" Deanna yelled.

John put Sam in Deanna's arms, "take your brother and go! Run! Go outside, do you understand me!"

Deanna rushed out of the house, her arms protectively holding Sam, not realizing what was going on. She cried, looking for her mother. "Mummy!"

"Mummy! Daddy!" Deanna wailed. Minutes felt like hours as John finally came running outside, scooping his kids in his arms.

John was heartbroken. The love of his life, his family was dead. He had to take care of two little kids who always reminded him of her. Instead of taking care of his family, John chose another path. He chose vengeance.

Deanna had no idea what happened. She just so happened to glimpse at the sight of what would haunt her forever. Comforting herself, she rested her head on Sammy's and tried to comfort him. She didn't know what killed their mother, what she did know was to protect Sam at all costs. The older Winchester was already traumatized, she didn't want Sam to have lost his innocence as well. Her dreams of jumping around the clouds like a trampoline changed into her mother burning in the ceiling.

Though Sam slept peacefully in his big sister's arms, he had no idea what was in store for him. For all of them.

Though Mary Winchester died that night, John Winchester did too. Mentally and emotionally. He became more aggressive and cold as time passed. Though he thought he was protecting his children from himself, a part of him knew he was wrong.

Deanna Winchester felt as if her father was a stranger. He changed. They all did. Deanna stopped believing in God. She stopped believing in miracles. As she grew older, her faith and hope faded. The Winchester sister was forced to grow up quickly. She just knew one thing,

Take care of Sammy.
