I finally finished Truly Supernatural! I know what you are thinking! Two stories in one week? The apocalypse must be coming! I hope this ending meets everyone's expectations!
True woke to find that she was in her bed. John was laying next to her, leaning against the headboard and reading a book. "So you decided to wake up."
"How long have I been out?"
"About 12 hours."
"Oh." She pulled herself into a seated position. "Guess you're pretty mad, huh?"
"Could say that."
"I'm sorry. I had to get the gun and I didn't know any other way to do it."
"We will talk about it later. Right now I want you to hit the shower then come down and eat something."
"Ok." She replied and hopped out of bed. She wasn't quite fast enough to avoid the swat aimed at her backside and quickly changed her replied. "Yes sir."
True took as long as she dared in the shower before changing into sweats and a tank and heading down to the kitchen. She found a note from John telling her he ran out to get some food and instructed her to sit at the table until he returned. As she took her seat she saw the gun sitting in the middle of the table and carefully unwrapped it, unable to stop the tears once she saw it up close. As the sobs took over she dropped her head onto crossed arms, gun clutched tightly in her hand.
That was how John found her when he came in the back door. He set the food down and took a seat next to her, not sure what to say or do.
"It's my brothers gun." She said when she regained control of her emotions. "See this nick? I did that when me and my friend Creed took it target shooting and I dropped it."
"You dropped it? Thought you know how to handle a gun?"
"I do. But I wasn't supposed to touch his gun and he came looking for me. Scared the shit out of me when I saw him and dropped the damn thing."
John decided to let the language go. "I take it he wasn't happy."
True snorted. "After he checked us over to be sure we weren't hurt he holstered the gun, pulled off his belt and just about whipped the skin off of us." She gave a small smiled. "Riding back to town was almost impossible but he made us keep our butts in the saddle. Said it would reinforce the lesson."
"Did it?"
"I never touched it again. Not until today."
She showed him the stock of the gun pointing at a piece of metal in it. "See this? This is the pendant I was looking for. He used it to rig the gun back together. I can only guess it was broken in the fight that killed him. If I take it out, the gun is useless."
John now understood what the problem was. "What are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"The gun is rightfully yours. You have final say."
"But you need it."
"I do." As much as John needed the gun, he didn't want to influence her decision. He really cared for the girl and did not want their relationship to suffer because he was a selfish prick. He learned that lesson the hard way with Sam.
True's head was telling her to just rip the pendant out and unite it with her half. Her heart was another matter. She couldn't do that to John. She had not felt so safe with someone since being in Four Corners and if she destroyed the gun, their relationship would never be the same. "How long do you think it will be before you catch up to this demon?"
"I don't know. Could be tomorrow, could be next year. Every time I get a lead he vanishes."
True nodded. "I waited this long, I guess I can wait until you catch the son of a bitch."
"Does this mean you plan to stay with us?"
"I'm not letting that gun out of my sight so I guess so."
"If you stick with us, we will need to make it legal. Well as legal as fake documents can be."
"What do you mean?"
"On paper, you will be my daughter and under my care. That will keep the authorities at bay when you get into trouble."
"Don't you mean if I get into trouble?" At the look John threw her she smiled. "Yeah you're right."
"It also means your one of mine and I'm not going to let you run wild. How things have been these last few weeks? That's going to continue. That's what you're signing up for if you stay."
"Ok. But I draw the line at roach motels!
I got places in 15 states, every Canadian province and Mexico. If we aren't near them I got plenty of money to stay in decent places. Deal?"
"Deal." He pulled her into his lap and True threw her arms around him. After a few minutes he pulled her back so he could see her face. "Now that that's all settled we've got to talk about yesterday."
"Aw John. You just had to ruin the moment didn't you?"
He set her on her feet by his knee, face in a stern mask. "I didn't appreciate whatever you did to my head. You do it again and I'm going to do as your brother says and take a switch to you."
"My brother said?"
"He came visiting while I was out. Had quite a few things to say about your behavior."
"Oh." She dropped her head. "Guess your going to spank me huh?"
"You messed with my head, stole a motorcycle, and ran after a bunch of Vampires that I told you to stay away from. What do you think?"
"I think I'm about to be real sorry in a second."
"Take down your pants." Once True did as instructed he pulled her over his knee and lowered her underwear. "When we're done here you will sit at the table and write lines until I tell you you can get up. Understood?"
"Yes sir."
John brought his hand down, lighting a fire in the small backside before him. Once it was sufficiently red and True was a sobbing mess, he put her on her feet and told her to lean over the table. "You're getting 10 with the belt."
More tears fell at that pronouncement and the sound of leather being pulled through belt loops. The first last took her breath away but she screamed bloody murder with the next 9. John put his belt back on and helped her fix her clothes. "You will not disobey me again. Understood?"
"Yes sir." She sobbed. John held his arms open and True threw herself into them. John held her until she calmed and was about to set her on her feet but realized she was asleep. He scooped her up and carried her to her room, laying her down on her stomach and giving her a kiss.
"Aw isn't that sweet. When did you get so girly dad?"
John shot Dean a look. "Shut it. Unless you want to join her."
Dean held up his hands. "Nope I'm good." He followed his father down to the living room where Sam was waiting. "So got everything settled?"
"Yep."
"And?"
You've got a new sister."
Sam and Dean shared a smile. "Awesome. Now where's the food? I'm starving!"
