My Best Friends Brother // Supernatural

Chapter 43

"You need to test it again Bobby" I complain "Regina we have checked your blood three times, there is nothing there anymore. You're fine okay, you're just traumatised" Bobby replies, I shake my head and pace around the room "where are the boys?" I ask "Castiel found a lead on lucifer and they went to check it out" Bobby replies "I can still see him Bobby, that's how it all started. The infection must be coming back somehow" I say plopping myself on the bed, Bobby opens the door and comes to sit next to me "you shouldn't be in here" I whisper "I raised the three of you like my damn own Regina, I would be able to tell if something was wrong with you. You went through hell the past five years, you were rescued and fell into a messy infection. You're not sick, you're traumatised with good reason" Bobby says, I look over at him with tears clouding my eyes "I am a monster Bobby, I should not be around the boys" I say

"Whatever the hell those hallucinations said to you were a lie, you protect those boys with your life. I've seen you stare down the barrel of a gun as a human for those boys, you're not going to hurt them because you're not a monster"

I don't reply "let's get you out of here" Bobby says getting up to his feet, he offers me a hand and I hesitate for a few seconds before finally taking it and walking out of this cage for the first time in a month. The first thing I do is take a long shower washing away the blood and dirt from my body, I watch as the water around my feet become blood red "I'm still here" Ash whispers "leave me alone Ash" I say "I don't think I will, no not yet. I want to see you drive a stake through your own heart" the voice says, I close my eyes and take a deep breath, I rest my arms on the wall in front of me for support.

After my shower I sit down on the couch with a glass of bourbon in my hand while Bobby sits at his table with his, I explain everything and everyone I saw "and you're still seeing Ash? The guy who turned you?" Bobby asks, I nod "it's like he's here all the time, I can feel him watching and lurking and whispering" I sigh "I feel crazy" I admit "you might be cursed" Bobby replies, I frown "cursed?" I ask "what exactly is he saying?" Bobby asks, he turns to his books and starts looking through "he says he won't stop until I drive a stake through my own heart" I reply "mhm" Bobby replies "it's strange" Bobby says, I nod "everyone else is gone, everyone except him" I reply "let's not think about that now, you just got out. The boys should arrive tonight, their lead didn't check out" Bobby says, I nod. I lean back on the couch and down the rest of the bourbon on my cup, Bobby gets up and instantly refills my cup. I look at him "you look like you need it" Bobby adds, I smile softly at him before bringing the cup to my lips

Bobby looks at me, his soft fatherly smiles turn into a devious smirk "Bobby?" I whisper "You're a monster, John should've killed you when he found about you" Bobby says, his arm comes from behind his back revealing a carefully sculpted stake "no Bobby please" I say, he launches himself at me and I let out a scream

Bobby is shaking me "Regina snap out of it" Bobby yells at me, I jump at the sound of his voice "no no let go off me let go" I yell, I push him away and hiss, vamping out and scaring the shit out of him. I feel hands holding onto my arms I growl loudly, I turn either way to see Sam and Dean. I look down at Bobby on the floor "Bobby, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" I say pulling myself free from Sam and Dean to help Bobby up to his feet "what the hell happened?" Dean asks, once Bobby is on his feet I guide him to the couch and sit next to him "I'm sorry" I whisper again, Bobby shakes head "it takes more than that to kill me Regina" he says with a small smile "is anyone going to tell us what is going on?" Sam says, I purse my lips together "no" I say "you have enough on your plate right now" I say "to hell with that" Dean says annoyed "she's still having hallucinations, her blood is coming out clean but she's still having symptoms" Bobby replies, I turn to him "we weren't going to tell" I say

"Yeah until you tried to kill me, if it's not an infection then we have to find out what else is happening to you" Bobby replies, I see John in the corner of the kitchen. I get up and walk to him "what is going on with me John?" I ask "John? Is dad here?" Dean asks "you're dying, the virus Ash injected you with has reached your brain. There's no turning back, no matter how many times you check your blood. There will be no traces, he injected you with werewolf venom. From now it will only get worse, until-" John explains "until I get staked" I finish he nods "so I'm dying?" I ask "yeah you're dying" he replies "how do I know you're not bullshitting me? Everything I have seen has been pure bullshit" I say getting annoyed while trying to hide my pain "you said terrible fucking things to me, how do I know you're not like the rest? Trying to get me to stake myself?" I ask, John shrugs "I don't want you to die, but I don't want you to harm my boys Regina. I let you live to protect them and now, you're putting them in danger" John says

"So there's no other way?"

"No"

I turn to the boys "care to explain? We can only see your side of the conversation" Sam says "John says I was injected with werewolf venom, there's no cure for that. The infection has reached my brain it's why my blood is coming out clean, even though that really makes no sense" I roll my eyes "and what else?" Dean asks "I'm only going to get worse until someone stakes me" I say, they share a look "I'm going back to the cell" I say, they follow me down. I walk in and close the heavy door, they lock me in "we're going to find a cure" Sam says, I shake my head "you need to find a bloody stake" I say sitting on the bed

"this is it boys, my road has come to a dead end"
