Bittersweet Parting

You guessed it, and the sneak peek is here! Welcome to what will become the last story in season two of Brothers Apart!

Dean stepped up to the door, one huge hand raising up to knock. The hollow sound reverberated around Walt, more powerful than he could manage if he hit the door with all his might.

The sound died off, leaving them alone with the crickets chirping in the grass and Rumsfeld whining from by Dean’s side. The Rottweiler wagged his tail when Walt peered off the edge, prancing in place at the sight of the smaller people sitting up on Dean’s shoulder.

A distant “Come in!” made its way to where they stood, and Sam and Dean both frowned in unison, a silent look passing between them.

“What is it?” Walt asked warily, disliking the way the air filled with tension.

“Might be nothing,” Dean muttered, his voice staying low for them.

“Might be something,” Sam interjected, one hand tight on Dean’s collar while the other rested against his brother’s neck. “Bobby always answers the door. He doesn’t trust people in his house.”

“With good reason.”

By some silent accord the brothers had, Dean pushed open the door and Sam hunkered down, pulling Walt down with him.

For a man who stood near nineteen times Walt’s height, Dean’s footsteps were light and carefully placed to avoid the creak of wood. He knew this house close to as well as he knew the Impala, using that knowledge to stalk towards where the voice had come from.

Dean reached the doorway, and went rigid before Walt could see what he was looking at.

Sam gasped, his hands falling away from Dean and Walt. Walt felt his body fill with tension all over again at the sight of the men in the room.

“Boys,” John Winchester greeted, sitting across the desk from where Bobby sat.

All surprise and shock aside, everyone heard Walt’s voice suddenly cut across the thick silence that padded John’s greeting.

“It’s you,” Walt breathed, his eyes locked on Bobby Singer.

The time for questions to be answered has come! Don’t miss Bittersweet Parting!

July 26th excerpt:

Outside the cabin, the peaceful night had turned. A storm was coming.

Trees shuddered under the sudden gusts of wind. The tall branches bowed under the power, and raindrops glistened against the vibrant green leaves. Full summer had come to the forest, but with it a storm that no newscaster had predicted. A roar sounded against the cabin’s walls as a blast of pure power surged by, debris caught listlessly in the relentless force.

A bolt of lightning arced through the sky, sending sparks in all directions. The clouds lit up, foreboding for all that they weren’t there just ten minutes before.

With that bolt of lightning, something had changed.

As the peal of thunder rocked the cabin, something crashed into the roof and rolled off into the underbrush.

July 25th excerpt:

The magic slammed into him, and even those thoughts fled his mind.

The pain of a thousand needles began to prickle at his skin, each bone turned into a sharp blade with pushed against his body. Here Dean gave in and groaned, trying to push himself up, trying to get away. The pain doubled, and redoubled, and he realized something was changing.

The room was smaller.

July 24th excerpt:

Something in Dean snapped.

“You bitch!” he yelled, striking heedlessly out. He didn’t care if he had no weapon that would work against her. It didn’t even matter how his arm throbbed in pain. All that mattered was the way he wanted to feel her hot blood covering his hands as he ripped her throat out.

July 23rd excerpt:

“Anything?” Celeste hummed, thinking it over. “You would give up… anything… for your baby brother.”

“Yes, please!”

“No! ” Sam grit out, renewed determination in his eyes. He slammed a boot into the wall. “I won’t let you!”

July 22nd excerpt:

“Some days I wonder if it’s worth the effort to curse you like little Sammy here. You’d get none of the benefits, but then… you’re just a thorn in my side to begin with. A tiny, insignificant thorn.”

Part of Dean turned to stone at the implied threat, the other part… “You said it only works on children,” he said flatly.

“Oh, I say… a lot of things,” she said teasingly, turning her back on him and dismissing him as a threat. She walked back towards the table.

July 21st excerpt:

Sam might have seen all this if an invisible hand hadn’t grabbed him in an unrelenting grip, tossing him heedlessly into the cage. One shoulder rammed painfully into the bars, the door slamming shut behind him and the metal melting together until there was no entrance and no door.

Trapped, with no way out.

July 20th excerpt:

Bobby stepped in before Dean could retort, able to see the ire visibly rising as Mina expertly picked at Dean’s pride in what he did. “Whatever you do with your everlasting, that’s your business. We’re here to ‘discuss’ a proposition with you.”

She merely glanced at Dean’s silver colt, the sun reflecting off the elegant engravings. The doubt was easy to see. “Proposition?”

“We didn’t say it was optional,” Dean growled.

Mina’s grin widened. “Go ahead Dean. Propose to me.”

July 19th excerpt:

“We both will,” came a deeper voice, and Sam gave a start, looking up to find just the corner of Dean’s eye looking towards them. It was difficult for Dean to interact with them on his shoulder, but not impossible.

Dean smirked at Sam’s surprise. “Do you really think I can’t hear you there, pint-size?” He shook his head mournfully, a joke sparkling in his eye. “I thought you knew better.”

Sam huffed with frustration, and Walt had to stifle a chuckle at his expense.

July 18th excerpt:

Dean growled. “Sam’s not facing them without me,” he said darkly, unconsciously putting his hand back down next to Sam and Walt. Almost protectively, despite his disagreement with Sam. Nothing had changed between them. “Where he goes, I go.”

Rufus smiled. “Then I think we have a plan.” He clapped his hands together and leaned forward. “Now refresh my memory. Where’s the grub in this place?”

Bobby sighed.
