Phoenix [Supernatural Season 1]

Bloody Mary [4]

Phoenix readied the crowbar as she saw Mary out of the corner of her eye and smashed the mirror with the crowbar.

Mary moved to a different one, and Phoe saw her and smashed that mirror too.

Phoenix went back to facing Mary's true mirror. "Come on. Come into this one," she looked oddly at her refection, which had now taken a mind of its own. Phoe started having trouble breathing and had a trickle of blood coming out of her eye. "No..." she whispered.

"It's your fault. You killed her. You killed Jessica," The reflection said, only it wasn't Phoenix's voice...it was a male's. "You never told them the truth...who you really are."

Phoe fell towards the ground onto her knees.

"But it's more than that, isn't it? You knew he was coming for Sam...you knew years before she died. Didn't you?! You were so desperate to live a normal life and forget who you are. How could you leave her alone to die?!? How could you not warn Sam?!"

Sam's crowbar went through the mirror. He bent down to the floor to Phoenix "Phoenix, Phoe!" Sam noticed the blood that had come out of Phoenix's eyes "God, are you okay?"

Phoe wiped the tears and blood from her eyes "Uh, yeah,"

"Come on, come on." Sam pulled Phoenix up. He put Phoenix's arm over his neck, and they began to walk out until Mary came out of the frame of the mirror.

They turned around to see Mary crawling over the broken glass.

Mary walked towards them and they both fell to the ground.

They both started bleeding from the face, but Phoenix reached her arm out and a white glow filled the room.

"You think it's fun showing people their guilt?" Phoe sneered "Let's see how you like it,"

Mary started choking to death and melted into a pile of blood.

Phoenix fell down to the ground as Dean ran back into the room and saw the damage.

"This has got to be like...what? 600 years of bad luck?" Dean joked.

Sam chuckled weakly as he looked over at Phoenix worriedly as the redhead remained silent.

***

Sam, Dean, and Phoenix were driving in the car with Charlie in the back next to Phoe.

They pulled up in front of a house.

"So this is really over?" Charlie asked.

Dean nodded "Yeah, it's over,"

"Thank you,"

Dean reached back to shake Charlie's hand, and she got out of the car.

"Charlie?" Phoenix called out

Charlie turned around.

"Your boyfriend's death...you really should try to forgive yourself. No matter what you did, you probably couldn't have stopped it. Sometimes bad things just happen,"

Charlie smiled faintly, then turned around to go into the house.

Sam smiled back at Phoenix "That's good advice."

They drove off.

"Hey, Phoe?"

"Yeah?" Phoenix asked.

"Now that this is all over, I want you to tell me what that secret is." Sam turned in his seat so he was looking back at Phoe "You owe me that much for knocking me out with a crowbar,"

Phoenix smiled softly "Look...you're my best friend and I'd die for you, but there are some things I need to keep to myself," she looked out the window as she fiddled with the necklace around her neck.
