Chapter Text
2017
I know my mother didn’t want me to grow up in this world. She warned me that people-things?- would be after me. I knew what she wanted me to do, I could see it, feel it. The way she told me she loved me and was worried about what would happen. So I tried. I used some of this stuff that's in me and I grew up, but I don't think I used enough because I'm much…smaller than I know my father, Castiel, to be.
A man approached me while I was still getting my bearings. He looked at me, and I tried to look at him but it was hard. It was very dark. Was this my father? Was this Castiel?
“Father?” I asked the man in a much smaller voice than I thought it would be, tinier. It seems I was correct, I'm younger than I meant to be. I see his head tilt, I don't know why he did that, I stood up then, and the man seemed scared? Why was he scared? Is he not my father?
“No-no, no, no, no I’m not your father, Jack. It is Jack, right?” This man is definitely not my father. He would know who I am. Right? I stare at him as he looks at me. It's still too dark to see, but I realize my eyes are glowing. Are they scaring him?
“Father?” This time I want to know where my father is. He's not him, so now I need to find him. Just after I got done saying that I heard a noise. Footsteps? Is this my father?
“Sam?” I hear the man shout. He has a deep voice, and I know my father has a deep voice as well. I feel something grow in my chest, maybe happiness? “Sammy?” Is that the man in front of me’s name? Sam keeps looking at me but acknowledges him.
“I'm in here.” the man-Sam?- says to the other man. The other man comes around Sam and also stares at me. I wish there was more light. The man immediately takes out his…thing and fires it. It's loud, and I'm shocked. I flinch away as the sound ends and whip around to look at them. Why? Why would this man, who is also definitely not my father, do that? I do believe that is a gun, and guns kill. Was he trying to kill me? I yell, but I think some of the stuff I have inside me, power? Grace? I don't know, it comes out when I yell. The windows of the house burst out, and the two men try to hold themselves upright, but fail as they seem to start to float very slowly, caged in my power. I stop yelling, and they fly back into separate walls. I didn't mean to do that. I was scared. They both don’t get up, but that might be for the better.
I immediately leave. Those men want me dead, and Mom warned me away from people like that. I run down the stairs and see what looks like a way to the outside, I go through the door and see two things outside of what looks like a lot of trees. A forest! Mom read about nature a lot, and how big forests expand, maybe I can lose them in there? Cars? Mom had one, I don't know how to use it though. I bolt into the forest when I hear it. Their voices, the man’s voices. They were up and chasing me. I ran faster but I could still hear them. “Jack?! Slow down, we just want to talk!” The man I believe is Sam yelled. Right. Because men who wanted to talk shoot people. I don't slow down. I run, and run and run, trying so hard to lose them. “We’re sorry, please just stop!” I'm tiring I believe, it’s getting harder to breathe, I look forward as I feel my power seeping out of me. A line forms in front of me. It looks like a crack in the universe somehow. This has to be Father, or me, trying to save me. I run through it.
