The Littlest Winchester

Chapter 69

About A Boy, S10E12
———————————————————

We walked into Dean's room,
Sam said" Hey."
Dean said" Hey."
" Caught a case. Apparently something is taking people and leaving their clothes."
" Hmm. About time this gig got an R rating. Alright. Why don't you check it out? I'll hold down the fort."
" Dean, you haven't left the bunker in a week."
" And?"
" And you can't just live the rest of your life locked up in this room."
" I don't know. I got three hots and a cot. Could be worse."
" Look, I know you're worried about the mark."
" Yes, Sam. I am."
" Between what I did to Charlie-"
" Charlie forgave you. How about you forgive yourself?"
" Because I'm not exactly batting 1,000 here, you know?"
" Yeah, I do know that, but staying locked up in here, sitting on the ground reading the same lore books over and over and over again, it's not helping you. You need to get back in the game for your own good. You can beat this, Dean."
" Do you really believe that?"
" Yeah, you're damn right I believe that."
" You know, you also believed in the easter bunny till you were 12."
" No, I didn't."
" Look, I was 11."
" And a half."
" And a half. Right. So?"
" Okay."

Once we got there, they were talking to the witness, and then Sam came back and got in. We drove off after Dean went inside the dive bar, I looked at Sam.
I said" Was he okay with this?" Sam nodded," Positive?" Sam shook his head," Thought so." We drove to the victim's house, to see what was in there.
Once I saw Sam coming out, he was on the phone with Dean, I listened in.
Dean said" How we looking?"
Sam said" Not great. Turns out JP was about three days from getting evicted. His landlord said the guy blasted Neil Diamond 24/7 and that his bathroom was, quote, like staring into the devil's butt."
" That's vivid."
" And accurate. I saw it." And here come's Dean wit.
" You saw the john, or, uh..."
" Don't. So, you got anything?"
" Yeah. I got, uh, jack with two scoops of squat. I don't know, man. I think we ought to just call it a night and, uh..."
" And what? Dean? Hello?"
" Sammy, I think I got something." Then Dean hung up, Sam got into the impala,
I said" Let's go, I'm tired. Let's go get Dean and head to a motel." Sam nodded and drove off, I felt uncomfortable. I breathed heavily, then grabbed Sam's arm before I started convulsing.
Sam said" Hazel? Hazel!" I felt the car stop and Sam grab me and hold me down.
Once it stopped, I breathed heavily and looked at him,
I mumbled" Something's wrong with Dean... Sam, drive! Drive!" Sam started up the impala and took off, going fast down the road.

Once we got to the dive bar, we went in, Dean wasn't here, where the hell is he?! Sam looked at me before grabbing his phone and calling Dean's. Dean's phone rang, and we turned to it,
Sam said" Hey, Buddy? Where did that jacket come from?"
Dude said" My Bar Mitzvah. It was a magical night."
" Yeah, I bet." Sam grabbed him and slammed his head on the bar," Why don't you try it again?"
" Dumpster. Found it by the dumpster."
" Alright."
We walked out of there, and then to the dumpster, we found Dean's shoe and this his gun. Now we know something really is wrong. Sam crouched down and wiped something off the gun, then sniffed his hand.
Sam said" Flowers." I looked at the yellow powder,
I said" Sam, let's go."

We were at the motel room, Sam was looking up the flower we knew it was, then there was a knock at the door. Sam got up and walked to the door, I stood up, raising my hands, Sam opened the door and it was a teenage boy.
The boy said" Hiya, Sammy."
Sam said" Dean?" Dean walked in and grabbed his bag," W-Wait a second. Y-you're a-"
" Uh-huh."
" How?"
" No clue. Some scarface-looking dude, bright light. Next thing I know, I wake up looking like Bieber."
" Why would someone turn you into-"
" Don't know. Don't care. Hey, we got any grenades?"
" What?"
" Don't- wait, wait, wait. Wait a second. Talk to me."
" Really, Sam? Now? I got no grass on the infield, and a girl's gonna die. Sorry if I'm not in a chatty mood. Look, you wanted me back in the game. I'm back in the damn game. Come on." I looked at Sam as Dean walked out the door,
We walked out, a woman said" Your som is so polite." I scoffed then walked so I could laugh, Sam walked away.
Sam said" Where are we heading?"
Dean said" Tell you on the way." We got in and Dean scooted the seat way up. I shook my head,
" Okay, okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wait, uh... maybe I should drive? Yeah."
" Yeah."
" Okay. Seat. Seat. Seat. Ooh." Sam and Dean got out, switching seats once Dean got the seat normal again, I scoffed.
We were going through a tunnel,
Sam said" Cake. Why would they give you cake?"
Dean said" Well, Don't know. It wasn't even good cake. Too dry." Sam was looking at Dean every few seconds, it was entertaining." What?"
" Nothing. Okay, not nothing. Look, this is bizarre. Even for us, Dean. This is insane. You- you're like, what, you're like 14? How does it even feel?"
" Well, I'm me. I'm- I'm old me, but I'm a kid. It's freakin' weird, dude. And..."
" What?"
" There was a Taylor Swift song on the bus that I hopped to the motel, and, uh... I like it, Sam. I liked it a lot." I scoffed then stifled my laughter, gulping hard." And my voice is weird, and I've got like nine zits, and I have zero control over this. I mean, it's up. It's down. It's up for no reason." I groaned in disgust,
" That's enough. Yeah, thanks. Uh, that's just called puberty."
" Yeah, which sucks. Again."
" Well, listen, I checked out the alley where you got jumped, and I found yarrow."
" Which means what?"
I said" Means we're probably dealing with a witch. Yarrow's a flower. They use it in a ton of spells."
" Okay. We still got some of that witch killing crap in the trunk?"
" Hell, yeah. So, we'll get you changed back, and then light sabrina's ass up." I saw that look on Dean's face even though it wasn't his current normal old face," Right?" Sam and I both looked at him,
" Uh, yeah, about that. It turns out, this whole freak show has an upside." He pulled up his sleeve," The mark is gone."
Sam said" How?"
" Well, I figure if this hoodoo slammed me back into the body I had when I was 14-"
" You didn't have the mark then."
" Yeah, and if we reverse the spell-"
" Then it's gonna come back."
" That's what I'm thinking. So... maybe we don't."
" Wait a second. Are you saying you want to stay like this?"
" No. No, but... if it's between being a psycho rage monster/borderline demon or a teenager, well..."
" Really?"
" Look, I'm not a fan, either, but... Sam, Hazel, this is problem solved. And I'm still me. I can still hunt. I'm just, you know... dewier."
" Okay, look, y-you have a point, kind of, but, dude-"
" I know. Some good news, though, virgin liver. So, what do you say when we're done doing our hero thing, we take her for a test drive?"
" Yeah, sure."
Sam and I said" I mean... you can drink again in, what, like seven years?"
Dean said" That's not funny."
" That's kind of funny."
" That's not funny."
" Oh, come on, man. It's kind of funny." Sam and I smiled then nodded at Dean,

Once we got there, and out of the car with the witch killing molotov blood thing,
Sam said" Looks like someone's home."
Dean said" Okay. Let's go in through the basement. Get Tina out first."
" Alright."
We got to the basement window,
Dean said" Still open. Tina? Alright, let's go."
Sam said" Dean, I'm way too big to fit in that."
" First time you ever had to say that, huh?"
" Big talk coming from the dude wearing underoos."
" Okay, good one. Here, why don't you go around back for another way in?"
" Yeah." Sam walked away, I smiled at Dean before moving next to him, he went in first then I went in after him. We moved quietly through the cell then out the door, we went into the other cell and looked around. Dean walked to a corner and I followed him, he moved a bucket and grabbed a dusty skull. I turned around and went out the cell door, then I was grabbed, my mouth covered. I was teleported to a kitchen, tied up on the floor, I struggled to get free. There was a girl in a chair, tied down, that must be Tina. I must have hit my head at some point, I could barely listen to anything, then I saw my brothers.
The witch said" Now... who's hungry?" She walked over to Dean," Ooh. Oh, scrawny. We'll have to fatten you up."
Dean said" Don't freakin' touch me."
" Oh, I'm going to do more than that. Children. Oh, they're so sweet and innocent. And delicious. You'll see. When I cook him up, I'll give you some, hmm?"
Sam said" If you like kids so much, why not go after kids? What's with this whole fountain of youth?"
" Hmm, in the olden days, if a child went missing, ah, the young died all the time. Now, though, with all your amber alerts and your milk cartons, a person fillets one rugrat, and people get so angry."
Dean said" Yeah, I blame Obama."
" So, I improvise. I take adults no one will miss and give them back their youth."
" And then Kentucky-fry 'em."
" It's the only way I can eat in peace."
" So, uh, is it worth it? I mean, word on the street is people kind of taste like chicken."
" A bit. European children are more, uh, free-range, gamier. Americans, though, ooh, they are heaven. Fattier. The meat, so finely marbled, it's almost buttery. I just can't get enough."
" Mmm. Awesome." Dean's stalling, Sam must have his knife,
" No! I am in awe. This is my first visit to your country, and I have to say god bless the USA."
" Oh, so, you're a tourist."
" No. It's business, not pleasure. And old friend is causing trouble, and the grand coven asked me to take care of her. Poor, stupid Rowena."
" Wait. Rowena? She got red hair, a thing for ritzy hotels?"
" How do you know that?" Sam attacked and then was pushed back by magic, Dean was being attacked by the giant dude." Now you'll burn! Turn him!" Dean turned back to normal and killed the dude, then got the witch bitch into the oven and closed the door. Dean closed the little door thing then cut me loose, I got up and helped Sam up while Dean cut Tina loose. Sam touched the side of my head and I saw blood on his fingers, oh great.

I was on Dean's back since they wouldn't let me walk because I was disoriented.
Tina said" That was crazy. Like... psycho crazy. And you do this all the time?"
Dean said" All the freakin' time."
Sam said" Not all the time."
Tina said" So... can you turn me back?"
Dean said" The hex bag went up in flames. I'm so sorry, Tina."
Sam said" We may be able to reverse engineer the spell, though."
Tina said" Or maybe you don't."
" Come again?"
" I got three ex-husbands, 50 grand in debt, and not much else. I was... kind of a crappy adult. Maybe I'll do better this time around. Get out of town, get a fresh start. This is my second chance. Everybody wants a second chance, right?"
Dean said" Sure you're gonna be alright?"
" Like I told you, I always am."
Sam said" Can we at least give you a ride somewhere?" She nodded, and we started walking,
Dean said" Give me the keys."

I woke up in the backseat of impala due to daylight, Sam got into the car then Dean did. Dean sighed,
He said" I'm back, baby." I smiled, shaking my head, then Sam turned on the radio and it was Taylor Swift, Sam and I looked at Dean. Dean did that smile then shrugged before driving off,
I said" This hurts my ears!" Dean scoffed,
He said" You're a teen, shouldn't you like this stuff?"
" Dean freakin' Winchester!"
" Sam, isn't she supposed to like this stuff?" Sam shook his head, shrugging it off,
" I grew up in the backseat of a '67 chevy impala, with my big brother whom is a very big classic rock fan, and no device but the radio... do you really want to fight what you started 14 years ago?"
" Good one, that was a good comeback, okay, okay, you win. I'll change it."
" Thank you."
" Annoying."
" Jerk."
" Bi- no, you'll punch me."
" Go ahead and say it, De."
" Bitch." I turned it to my music with my mind," This is worse than getting punched! Evil!" I laughed then listened to my music.
