//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 Night: Family // Story: Supernatural: Day, Night, and Shadows // by BioQuillFiction //------------------------------// A month had passed since the event at the Motel. Thankfully when the demon knocked out Sam he didn’t remember what happened. John was with Bobby, the boys and Luna were watching Tv, well, the boys were, Luna was still playing the Gameboy she found at the motel. She beat the game long ago, and was basically catching and training every one of those digital monsters she could find. John had to admit she had a talent for those games, but Dean preferred TV and comics while Sam prefered most books. “Anything yet Bobby?” John asked, flipping through more lore books. ”Not a damn thing. From what there is, it seems Luna could open a way back to wherever she came from herself, but she’s a foal, so that will be...why are you looking at me like that?” Bobby asked as John gave him a confused stare. “Child. You said foal not child.” Je explained. “She’s a pony, it’s the proper term.” John just sighed. “Well hey, it’s not like we can find something that can make her look human.” John just rolled his eyes, flipping through pages then closed the book in frustration. “Well, her...abilities, with her horn, she managed to kill a demon Bobby. We can use that.” “Oh I know we can, but can she control it?” Bobby asked, taking a shot from his flask. “I guess for her it’s something her kind can do, lore said they can do the unimaginable, and her horn is the key.” “So they have to learn how to use it like a newborn learns how to walk?” John asked. “Well, your guess is as good as mine.” John sighed, picking up the papers and finding the heading rather interesting. “Hey Bobby, look at this.” John handed the paper to Bobby. Local Museum Break-in Ends in Death “Well that’s something I’ll admit.” “Read on.” After apprehending the suspects security managed to retrieve one of two historical artifacts. The Stones of Heaven. The second stone was made off with after the second thief took out a knife and stabbed one of the guards clean through his rib cage. Coronary reports quote “It was as if the assailant had the strength of ten men.” As for the second suspect, they dropped the second stone, then vanished. “Stones of Heaven, that sounds familiar.” Bobby said as he took out one of the many lore books around him and flipped through the pages. “Yeah, here. The Stones of Heaven are said to have fallen to earth in seven hundred B.C. Tales say that any animal that is adorned with one of the stones…” Bobby’s eyes widened. “Take on the form of a human.” Johns eyes widened in reply. “Talk about convenient. So, think this is a job?” “THe fact that some yahoo thief stabbed a knife through a man's chest says it all John. Clearly it was a monster, but what, and why try and take those stones?” “Well, the why is rather strange. And as for the what, well there’s a long list of freaks with that kind of strength.” “Yeah, but if the legend is true, and it must be if whatever these were managed to steal one, why? Most monsters already look human. Some a little too much.” “Well let’s get on the job and find out.” John said as he got up. “Kids, your uncle Bobby and I are gonna go into town for a...while. We’ll try and call when we can.” “By dad.” Sam and Dean said in unison. “Bring back pizza?” Luna called out asking. Bobby laughed while John sighed. “Sure, We’ll try.” “Yay! Love you dad.” That made John freeze as the door. He swallowed the bulge in his throat. “S-same kids, be back later.” He said, quickly leaving as Bobby followed. Once in the impala, Bobby looked over at John in the driver's seat. “John? You alright, you kinda froze there.” “...Bobby...whenever Sam or Dean say the love me...I’m. I don’t think too much about it...Luna saying that...it just…” “Made you feel like a dad?” “...I guess…” John said as he started the car. “Come on, if we’re lucky whatever stole that stone might not be far.” Once at the museum, John and Bobby quickly changed into black suits, and grabbed their fake FBI badges, then headed in. Once in they walked up to the receptionist. “Excuse me miss, mind if we speak to whoever’s in charge of this establishment?” John asked, putting on his best poker face. “You two cops?” The woman asked. She was red haired, green eyes, dressed in a plain grey shirt and blue jeans. “FBI.” Bobby said, he and John taking out their fake badges and then putting them back. “Hang on.” The woman said, leaving for several minutes before coming back with an older man. He was around Bobby’s age, wore a grey trench coat and pants with black shoes. “Is this about the break in officers?” He asked. “Yes, we just have a few follow up questions about the incident?” John asked. “Oh. Well like I told the police two people, a young lady and a man broke in, tried to steal both Stones of Heaven, the night guards tackled them both and, well… One of the guards is dead now, the other we gave the week off.” “Did the surviving guard say something was odd about the thieves?” The man shrugged. “He was jumpy, but I figured it was just from seeing a long time co-worker.” “Can you give us his address so we can question him also?” Bobby asked. “Yes, just let me go write it down.” When the man gave John and Bobby the address they quickly got back into the Impala and drove to the address. Once there, the showed their fake badges to the guard and now sat with him in his livingroom. “So Mr…” John asked. “Devaron.” The guard replied. “Right, Devaron. Was there anything...abnormal about the theifs you can recall?” “Heh, like I told the cops. The woman elbowed me to the ground. Doc said I got a cracked rib now. And she was a small little thing too. When I looked back up Don was dead, a hole in his chest and a bloody knife sticking out his back. Since the killer stabbed him I managed to get a shot off. Right in the arm, hand opened and he dropped the stone before the police arrived.” “Was that all?” Bobby asked. “Anything else at all happen?” Devaron sighed, rubbing his arm. “Well...When I shot the man I swear...I think it was the light, but I thought I saw his eyes turn black.” John and Bobby both gave a knowing look at one another. “Thank you for the information sir.” John said as he and Bobby left. “Demons...does this make sense to you?” “Not really.  But if we’re dealing with demons, we’ll have to figure out what to do about them. If there’s a lot, then we’ll need an arsenal.” “So, you only got one of the stones?” “Cops came, you said be quick.” “Well regardless I suppose one is all that’s needed anyway.” “What are you going to do with this, Crowley?” “It’s July twentieth. It’s Sombra’s adopted day.” “You treat that freak like one of- GAAHHH!!” “Now now, that's my boy you’re talking about, less you want to be his adopted day cake, get back to work, the both of you.” Luna fell asleep sometime around eight. Sam and Dean covered her with a blanket and were watching the Golden Girls, since it was all that was good on this time of day. The door opened and Sam and Dean saw their father, uncle Bobby, and five boxes of pizza. “You actually got it?” Dean asked in shock. Luna sniffed, then woke up immediately. “Pizza!” “Hey, every now and then I can spoil you three….” John said as he placed the pizza’s on the coffee table and opening it. The first three were peperonie, the fourth was mushrooms, and the fifth was pineapple. “Just share the mushroom pizza Luna.” “Okay.” She said, jumping on the table and grabbing a slice of mushroom pizza in her mouth, chewing/slurping it from the crust. Bobby quietly left, coming back with a camera and took a picture. “Wow!” She yelped, startled by the flash and falling off the coffee table. “Sorry Luna, but I couldn’t resist taking a picture of that.” Bobby said in self defence. Dean and Sam laughed as Luna jumped onto the couch, Pizza slice acting as a blindfold. “So dad, how’d the job go?” Dean asked. “It’s on hold, but we did pick up something, it’s what took so long.” John said as Bobby pulled out the other Stone of Heaven. After the trail on the demons ran cold John went back and stole it properly, no alarms of glass broken. And a well carved fake in it’s place. Bobby strung it with a cloth string and placed it around Luna’s neck. After a bit, in a blink to the Winchesters and Bobby, they jumped, seeing Luna as a five year old, baby blue haired little girl, wearing a small white shirt with her silhouette on it, and blue jean shorts and flip flops. “Well holy...wow…” Bobby said. “Darn thing actually works.” “Luna! You look human!” Dean said as Sam nodded, wide eyed and speechless. “Wait, what?” Luna asked, looking at her front legs, expecting to see her hooves...she saw hands...and properly let out a scared scream, breaking all of the windows in Bobby’s house. “You’re paying for those John!” Bobby yelled, covering his ears as Luna kept screaming. John knew right then, having a daughter….was going to be his hardest job yet.
