Danger Ch 7

After arriving to the bunker, LJ huffed to the room that she was in last time she was there. Sam and Dean stood there not knowing how to handle this female fight. They played rock, paper, scissors to see who would have to help Blair and Dean lost. Sam snuck away to LJ to see if he could get her to talk. Dean watched Sam as he walked to the room. Dean shifted uncomfortable to be in this situation. He was never good at comforting people.

"So Blair.." She turned to him, huffed up and looking like she was about to hit something.

"I swear, she has no respect for others! I mean, I'm a grown up, she can't keep treating me like a child. Sure she might be the older one, but it wasn't my fault James was murdered!" This peeked Dean's interest.

"James?" He asked, pulling out a chair for Blair. She sat down in a huff and rolled her eyes.

"Yes." Then realizing what happened, Blair covered her mouth in shock. She began to shake her head.

"No no no no no! I'm sorry!" Her eyes began to grow misty as she looked at Dean. He put his hand on her arm.

"Hey, it's alright. I'm here for you to vent to." He was surprised at how calm his voice sounded. Inside, he was secretly freaking out wanting to leave and drink a fifth of Jack. With a sigh, Blair wiped her eyes.

"Well, first thing you should know, we are not twins. She is 4 years older than me." This shocked Dean. They looked almost identical.

"I know, surprising right? And then I guess I should tell you about James since I mentioned him.." She trailed off hoping Dean would stop her. She slouched in her chair coming to the realization that Dean wanted her to explain.

"Well James was LJ's boyfriend. He was a little taller than you, but shorter than Sam. Well, she met him in college and I came along asking her for money since she always had better luck with money. That was where I met him. I didn't know that I was being followed because I never wanted in the life. LJ has taken care of me since she was 15 and I was 11. She was hunting with my dad when he was murdered. She made sure I stayed in school and had a future, but it was difficult since neither of us had a parent. Well, she got a full scholarship while I only got half of one. Anyway, I went to her one night and something followed me. She and I got into a fight about something following me and I said nothing did because I was so careful. But when we were walking in the dark back from the bar, something grabbed James. It was a demon. He grabbed me and James and threatened to kill me or him. LJ said that it could have her, just let us go. I grabbed my knife from my back pocket and stabbed the demon, making him let me go. It was an ordinary knife, but I guess it surprised him. I ran toward LJ and she pushed me behind her in an effort to save me. The demon then snapped James' neck before LJ could say or do anything. After she watched his body fall to the floor, she lunged at the demon and exorcised him. She called 911, but knew he couldn't be saved. That night, she packed up and me and her went on the run. I thought we were going to stay together but she said we had to stay away from one another or they would always find a way to hurt us. I was scared and didn't want to leave her. She ditched me at a dirty motel with nothing but a note on a napkin telling me not to bother finding her." Tears were falling from her eyes in at a steady pace. She didn't bother to wipe them.

"I tried to find her, I really did! But she didn't want to be found." Dean didn't know how to handle the situation. He patted her arm.

"There there." He was running through the story in his head. He wondered how Sam was doing with LJ and if it's just a grudge that is keeping them from being a family. Dean was shocked when Blair pushed her head against his chest and started sobbing. He stroked her hair unsure of what she wanted. She looked up at him with a tear stained face.

"I'm sorry, Dean. I know you probably do not wanna deal with this since you're dealing with Sam and stuff."

"Dealing with Sam? What is that supposed to mean?" Dean asked, pushing the anger down.

"I mean the stuff with the disappearing act and him lying to you constantly about where he's at." Dean looked at Blair. How did she know that Sam was lying.

"Where is he going?" He pushed her from him and sat forward towards her.

"You know already. He is meeting with Crowley." That did it for Dean. The anger welled up inside him and he jumped to his feet. He angrily maneuvered his way to where Sam and LJ were.

Sam made his way to LJ. He saw her sitting on the bed turning a knife over in her hand.

"LJ? Can we talk?" He asked her, unsure of what she wanted at the moment. She waved him in.

"Close the door." She commanded, still not looking at him. Sam closed it gently and sat on the bed across from her.

"LJ, what's been going on with you?" Sam asked gently, hoping she would talk to him. LJ turned to him, eyes full of rage and hurt. She shook her head as she lowered the knife that was in her hand.

"You wanna know what's wrong? Why I never told you about her? Because I left her far behind in when I was 26 and she was 22. Yeah, we aren't twins. It's her fault he's gone." LJ's eyes began to well up with tears but she angrily wiped them away.

"LJ, talk to me." Sam moved closer and put his hand on her shoulder. She stared at it with hatred and Sam quickly removed it. Her eyes met his again and all he saw was a burning fire that has been fed for years.

"Killed who LJ?" Sam gently pushed her to talk.

"My fiance. She came to me one night while James and I were at a bar on campus. She knew not to come to me, that she should call and we would meet up somewhere. I promised her that I would be there for her, but we couldn't endanger the ones we care about. I still love her, but when I look at her, all I see is the night when James died. I tried to run away. I ran and I killed and.." LJ choked on a sob.

"Shhh I'm here for you. You can tell me anything." Sam rubbed LJ's back. He had never seen her show emotion like this before.

"Well, Blair came up to James and me and said that she needed money to pay back. I asked her who and we got into a fight about her and not being able to handle money. Well we were walking back to my dorm room from the bar and it was not too dark. But I saw this guy. It was the guy that Blair owed money to. She started to tell him she had the money, but he grabbed her and James. He was a demon. He gave me a choice, kill Blair or kill James. I told him to take me instead. I knew I was the one he wanted. Well, Blair stupidly stabbed him with a regular knife and got out of his grip. He only got pissed off and I pushed her behind me to protect her, but he.. he..." LJ took a deep breath.

"He snapped James' neck." LJ had been avoiding eye contact with Sam throughout the whole time she talked, but now she looked at him.

"I called 911 from his phone and I ran to my dorm. Blair and I packed my stuff and we ran. I couldn't face what happened there. I told her not to come after me and she did. We went to a motel room and I explained to her that we were too vulnerable together and we needed to separate. She didn't want to and said we should talk in the morning. After she fell asleep, I wrote her a note on a napkin. I told her that she would be safer without me and that... and that I was leaving her. I told her not to come after me because she wouldn't be able to find me. And well... then came the night at the reservoir and I needed her to talk to you since I couldn't get a hold of Garth. And now... all I see is that night." Sam's eyes weren't full of pity, a surprise to LJ. They were full of sadness and understanding.

"LJ, you can't blame her for killing him. In this life, the best thing we can do for the people we love is to make sure they don't know us. Blair is your little sister. She needs you. Dean and I thought we would be better apart, but we were wrong. We are stronger together, just like you and your sister." LJ looked at Sam with tears now streaming down her face. He pulled her into a hug.

"SAM!" Dean yelled angrily, almost kicking the door in.

"What's up Dean?" Sam asked while getting up. Dean punched Sam in the face, making him go down on the floor. Blair was behind him, looking smug. She saw LJ looking at her and turned to walk away.

"What the hell, Dean?" Sam grabbed his now bleeding nose as he got to his feet.

"Tell me the truth, goddammit!" Dean yelled, again swinging at his brother. LJ ran out of the room after Blair. Sam knew it was coming and blocked his brother from getting another good hit.

"Dean calm down! I'll tell you whatever you want!" Sam had Dean in a hold that Dean was trying to break. Dean stopped struggling and Sam let him go. He sat on the bed and rubbed his knuckles.

"You feeling better?" Sam asked, thoroughly concerned for why his brother was now acting weird. Dean was about to talk when he looked around the room.

"Where are the girls?" He asked Sam. Sam looked around not seeing either one.

"Sonuvabitch! We've been tricked!" Dean exclaimed, jumping to his feet. He and Sam raced out of the room to see LJ and Blair on the floor wrestling.
