Chapter 13 - An ordinary life.
* Sam's POV: *
It was now already one month ago. A month since Dean and I went separate ways.
But it seemed so much longer ago. The life that I had at that time. Everything worked like a dream. It was as if it were a completely different world. That's all well have been. This I had noticed after the first few days without Dean and without hunting.
or rediscovered? It was almost like back then when I went to Stanford ... only this time I had it before any real future. It seemed so ridiculous to dare to be a new beginning in the Apocalypse. But it had to be. I had to do that. Not only for Dean. No for me. I had lost myself. Myself betrayed and fell deeper and deeper. It was not Ruby's fault or that of the demons blood. I wanted it all so much. Wanted to do anything. Alone. But that did not work. I had to leave Dean in order to be clear again. Had to find again what I had driven before. That which I had identified. I did not know when or how it happened, but somewhere I had lost it. And before I had not found it again, I could not connect with Dean's eyes. Without _Es_ * * I could not hunt again.
After Rufus had taken me, we were down south. To Louisiana. He stopped in a small town, where he wanted to stay, to search for jobs. But I was not ready for it, I moved on and we parted. I wanted to remain anonymous, "worried" I look at a car and drove to the nearest major city: Lake Charles, Louisiana.
It only took a few hours and I was in the middle of the night. I was looking for a hotel on the edge of downtown. The neighborhood was not exactly sure, but it was cheap and I had no more money on me. My next stop was also: get a job. I burned first of all my false identity cards and credit cards. I no longer needed. I wanted to bring at least some honesty in my life. So I thought, anyway. Because even though my job requirements were not high, nothing seemed to be working. I just wanted to quickly get enough money for little effort - but hard work - that distracted me. But I had to realize: The job market was a disaster!
ran after one week my money slowly from the fingers and if I do not soon (SOFORT!) would find a job, but I'd have to start again with the credit card fraud.
* _Einige days prior to the call _ *
The alarm rang and I woke up. The Sheet was crumpled to the end of the bed. I picked myself up and stretched briefly and glanced at the clock face.
8:45 clock.
I went into the bathroom and stood under the shower. Getting warmed up with soaping and then just a cold shower to wake up. Better than any morning coffee.
I shaved and brushed my teeth.
Links circling three times, right three times, circle center. It was funny but all those simple things I did with a consciousness that was scary. But I felt free ... peace.
to know that you are not fearful for his life and the biggest worries were what one probably bought to eat or how to get the bills paid on time. All this was a rest stop off in me that I had not long ago. I was not angry. I do not think that anger or resentment are gone in me ... but buried and buried deep beneath the newly-found peace.
I wanted to make my breakfast, a simple turkey sandwich. I opened the fridge and the kitchen empty void to meet me beat.
"Huh, I should probably go shopping again," I muttered to myself I took the juice carton and emptied the last few sips. Then he disappeared into the garbage that I took short hand and managed outside. When I had dumped the garbage and stepped out of the shady lane my apartment block, the sun shone directly into my face and I held my hand protectively over her eyes. A smile came to my lips and I went.
Today was a beautiful day. Unusually warm for late November.
The streets of Lake Charles were filled with people going about their daily lives. The buses drove lautscheppernd and bicycle couriers snaked through each Even the smallest gap in the slow-moving traffic of downtown. There were beggars on the corners, which have been ignored, as so often, and also of course a tramp who's bad news krakelte from the end of the world out loud until he was arrested by the local custom.
"THE END IS COME! WE LOOK FORWARD THE APOCALYPSE! THE DEVIL, HE LAUGHS AND DANCES ALREADY! THE ANTI CHRIST IS COMING AND THE DEAD WILL BRING! DEATH WILL BRING U.S. ALL AND IN THE AIR "He got no further, for he was now transported in police cars. But for me it was enough. My mood was in free fall down and I could not however, do. Sure, there were always spinning, shouting the nonsense of the age. But in this time and with death, I immediately came to mind the apocalyptic horsemen.
Oh, that does not want people know I myself, after all, now a bright blue sky and not a cloud in sight. Suddenly I had to laugh. The people around me looked at me funny, but I ignored them. "Clouds", for this word would have guaranteed Dean again made me stupid, hence why I always talk so gay. I felt like a jump-off came in my stomach. And I knew what it was. I missed Dean. Missed, as he always brought me added. God, otherwise he bugged me so much that I wanted him on the moon and now, now I just wanted to hear, as he calls me Bitch. I shook my head and tried to shake my sadness. Dean was not here and if I do without him slowly began to come clear, I would never be able to hunt with him. I would never trust myself again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sam walked into the small Supermarket. He grabbed one of him for far too tiny shopping carts and sought his typical weekly shopping, he still was used by Stanford. He felt a stranger here. Everything in him screamed then and get away, he was not here. And that was not just because his head was on the shelves and he always felt like a giant when he considered this mini snacks and Winzlingsverpackungen in hand.
He turned into the next gear, and as someone remarked after the cereal stuck.
Sam saw the blond curls bobbing up and down while the woman tried to reach her fingertips to the box. Sam's eyes followed the curls and inevitably end up on her bottom.
, The looks really sweet. "
He walked up to her and grabbed the cereal awaited her and held her from behind right in front of her face Reach.
"Are you looking to you always from what is highest?" Sam asked with a smile.
The woman grabbed the box and turned around, beaming. It was unlike him, really tiny. But her laughter was genuine and contagious. Her eyes were hazel and her skin looked smooth.
"Hi, uh?"
"Sam" He helped out.
"Thanks, Sam." Her smile grew even wider. "My name is Alison. And Sam, you always women lurking in the supermarket! "Said Alison played outraged.
"Only those who always make life difficult only unnecessary for a box of cornflakes."
"These are not" only "corn flakes. These are the best and why they are so high. "
Sam frowned and looked closely at the boxes.
, There is nothing special about it. And even if this logic is not really ... '
"These are the best, as this can make single women quick encounters," said Alison Keck, watching Sam's face very well.
"So you have been waiting for me? "Sam was a little confused.
"Who knows? But I think the cornflakes are definitely worth their money was. "
Alison linked her arm with Sam and put her shopping bag on his car.
"Oh, Oh, and I mean, do you mean?" Alison laughed
short. was "I did not expect that you are so shy, Sam."
Sam pink and scratched his neck nervously. A habit which he had copied long ago by Dean.
"No, I am not, but it a while ago that I"
"- have flirted," Alison finished his sentence with a knowing glance.
Sam smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's it."
"Hmm, is really a pity. I think you can do that that is really good. "
then steered Alison him on to the vegetables.
she serves, and Sam told her a couple of half-truths. Where he had gone to school, what did his parents. He was not difficult. He had to lie so many times that he was just used to it. It was also very beautiful so at ease with Alison to talk.
When they had their purchases at the cash together and put everything on the tape, Sam glanced to the television hanging in the corner and in the national news broadcast. His good mood vanished on the spot.
Newsreader: "The small sleepy Red Oaks has over Night a pilgrimage site for fans of Alien developed. A gas explosion that occurred recently and 13 people had lost their lives, is the reason for it. Video images show that it was very unusual. Instead of exploding out of the ground, it seems that the column of light coming from the sky. This column of light in itself is mysterious enough as it was high and bright shining for miles. Not only that, it is the fact that there were no witnesses to the usual noises. It was quiet. Nothing was heard except an ominous rustle. Images to follow are also several shadowy figures were seen in the light be .... "
, Damn, that looks very much like angels! But what was good? Was it a fight against demons? "
" SIR? Would they pay now? ", An impatient cashier pulled Sam out of his thoughts.
"Um, I -" Sam was looking for his wallet. But he did not find. Then another report came a rapidly spreading epidemic in Los Angeles and Sam seemed to be distracted again.
Alison saw the whole thing and walked one. She took a few Bills paid and get out. Sam saw it and wanted to protest: "No, you do not need, can I pay for the already"
"Sure can du But the other customers do not have all day," Alison said with a grin.
"But," Alison drew him out of the line and gave him his packed bags.
"No but here."
"I'll give you back, I-" Sam now fished out his wallet and wanted to settle the debt, but more than ten dollars and two quarters were not subject ü brig. Alison saw it and took Sam's hand and pressed come to him her business card.
"You can give back to me later. Just come in the bar. From 15 clock is open. And if you do not find your money at home, you may also like to work through it with me. I am looking for somebody else anyway and I think you're the right person for it. "
And so she took her purchases and left the shop. But not without one last time to turn around to wave to Sam. This waved back shyly and looked at the map. The bar was only three blocks from his apartment.
, finally things are looking up. And the news was not so bad. I have to get used to me that not everything has to do the same with the Apocalypse. "
Sam took his purchases and left the shop.
to think something positive can not hurt me too. After all, it is also so nice weather '
a thunder crack-Sam of the idea and he looked to the sky. Now, more clouds gene. Dark black storm clouds that were gathering around Lake Charles in circles. Sam looked like now and then lightning flashed in the clouds and the dull roar rolled across the city.
was not a cloud in 15 minutes ago to see and now it looks like the storm of the century! You want me but kidding right? " Sam hung his head and trotted home.
, Well, at least Regne-' a menacing roar swept over Sam's head and he did not dare to keep his thoughts to an end. Suspicious, he looked into the sky. The clouds swirled faster and thicker, but the fear remained wet from the time being.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alison looked nervous
their Clock as she wiped one of the beer glasses.
, 19:04 clock already and he's not still there '
Alison put the glass down again and went into her office. Jeffrey was also still in the bar and took over the serving. You look in the mirror and straightened her hair. As always they were a pure disaster in their eyes. Suddenly she heard the door open. Immediately, she stormed out of the office to see if it was Sam. But she had been looking forward too soon. It was just Karl. United and brawny as he was, he also made frequent trouble. But as long as you paid attention to his alcohol level, he was quickly appeased with a few coarse threats by police to back out and in the taxi to his wife.
Alison sighed disappointed.
"Well, you waiting around for someone?" She asks Jeffrey, as he poured just ordered the beer and handed it Karl.
"Hmm, maybe," Alison said with a dreamy look.
Jeffrey laughed and dug further: "I say, like the poor guy"
"Sam," Alison sighed once, but when she realized that Jeff took her on his arm, she wanted to not put up with.
"And HEY! What does this poor guy! Rather poor Alison! He has turned me upside down! "
" Sure, sure he has this you're always so innocent when it comes to guys, "said Jeffrey played with a serious countenance and wise nod.
"Come on, he was so sweet that I gave him even designed his shopping when he had his money here!", It was now outraged by Alison, which can assume nothing wanted.
"And so the widow weaves her net for the poor little man," Jeffrey said in the tone and precocious Karl grinned at it.
"You do everything wrong, as always, Jeff! I have also offered him to work here if he had no money so "now had to laugh
Karl. Jeff bent down to him and whispered "extremely loud
" You see, but poor guy to work for them, tsetse, the arms will then learn the first time what sexual harassment the workplace is. Believe me, I was it at the beginning angeguckt, ich dachte sie wollte mich auffressen.“
„Du bist so ein Idiot“, fuhr Alison ihn an, doch konnte sich nun auch ein kleines Grinsen nicht mehr verkneifen. Sie nahm ein Handtuch und warf es Jeff an den Kopf und marschierte an ihm vorbei.
„Und nebenbei er ist viel heißer als du!“, zischte sie ihm beim Vorbeigehen mit einem Grinsen zu, was Jeff sagte, dass sie es nicht böse meinte.
„Uh, oh, mein Herz!“
Jeff griff sich theatralisch an die Brust und sank kurz auf den Tresen. Nur um eine Sekunde später anzufangen zu prusten und sich eine Lachträne wegzuwischen.
Alison was there actually become red. Had she really had a little crush on Jeffrey as he had started with her. But it was already 3 years ago and they realized that he was a much better friend than one partner.
"Go to work, you're still thirsty guests," she was now hanging out the boss and drove back to the Jeffrey taps. Alison turned and immediately slammed against something big.
They rebounded slightly, but immediately felt like Alison two strong arms held her down. Startled, she looked up and saw this brown eyes with the worried look puppy.
"Sorry, are you all right?", Sam asked cautiously.
"Huh!" The response from Alison was a high squeak that escaped it.
"Hey, boss! Did not you serve more customers? You better be a good role model ", it now came from Jeffrey, who had watched everything and peals of laughter rang out at the bar
Alison began in bright red and took up again. She walked out of Sam's arms.
Although they are so strong and warm and I already miss it! " came to express their thoughts at once.
"Jeff, shut up and can work, otherwise I look like after two new people," and she took Sam's arm and pulled him out of earshot of her curious friend.
"Hey, is everything okay? I can also later, "Sam would say, but Alison interrupted him at once.
"No, it's perfect. Jeff likes his little joke with me, "waved Alison.
"So I, I'm here because now I want to thank you again, but I would like to get back to your job offer, if it still stands. "Sam looked at her with his puppy look. Not quite unintentionally, he knew that he so often succeeded. Most of the time had been with Dean. And that should mean something already.
"You do the job? Yes, of course, is still open. Man, I'm so glad! "Alison replied excitedly.
"Wow, beautiful, that it pleases you that I am so burned and broke to afford not even the past 20 dollar can purchase," said Sam smiles again.
"Oh, I thought not. Me, me, no, not really, "babbles Alison again and a slight blush rose into her face.
"Quiet, I'll take it to you not bad. So what should I do? "Sam leaned back, spread his long legs to be able to sit comfortably and spreads his arms demonstratively. It saw the muscles twitch Alison and she got a good look at his broad chest.
, you have to do? Continue simply sit there until I'm alone with you, and can be! God, he is hot! "
" Wait here shortly, I'll get your stuff. "Alison got up and scurried into her office. She took the mop bucket and an apron. Then she took out her box of shirts with the bar logo was printed.
, Hm, he will probably need an XL. " Alison took her out and felt the soft fabric.
, Hm is as comfortable on his skin? "
Then have it the L-size eye.
, Hm is likely to be a bit tight, but the length will fit on ... but close ... Hauteng ... ' Alison chews on her lip. Still quarreling with their conscience.
But it lost. The XL-shirt ended up in the dustbin and she reached for the small skin-tight size for Sam.
, This is kind of wrong ', thought Alison, as she went back with the things.
, No, I act only in economic terms. He looks great and animated in a tight shirt may be my female customers' Alison tried to justify himself.
When she entered the tap room, she took it again a reality. Women were with her in short supply. She believed those who lost a month in their bar to be able to count on one hand.
, Ok, it's just not economically ... but it's still good for business. Because if the boss has a nice "landscape" to admire, it is equal to much happier. And a happy boss considerably experiencing rapid growth, "she closed her logic now and the topic was over for them.
pleased to have justified their immoral act logical step, they beam on Sam. This stood up and grabbed the broom handle, the Alison rolled against his truck, along with the washing up.
"Here's your T-shirt. Today you need not wear it, but always from tomorrow. "
, although I'm dying of curiosity to see how you look in it! ' Alison moaned inwardly.
"So, your task is to wipe the tables. to help with the dishes, wiping out at the end of each working day once the store and during the rush hour and stand by Jeffrey times when serving. Believe it or do not believe, from 16 to 18 clock, the devil is going on. "
" Ah ok. So I surely do it properly, "said Sam, grinning back.
"Yes, and yet what ... "Alison just chewed nervously on her bottom lip.
"I've quite forgotten when times someone makes trouble, you can kick out him?"
"What should I work as a bouncer?"
"Well, if it nö concept is correct, yes, please. I mean, the poor that should not be a problem. "
Alison knocked Sam pally against his upper arm and squeezed every time to gently, as she touched him.
, Sweet Lord in Heaven! " Alison became powerful hot and fast, she took off her fingers and looked elsewhere. However
Sam began to laugh
"Oh, now I realize why you do not have anyone for the job."
Alison looked at him perplexed.
"You do not get an ad out on all the job descriptions would fit on it."
Now Sam Alison reminded again to Jeffrey, who took so much on his arm. She felt safe again and her mischievous side came to light
"No, this is not the problem. Only answer is not many guys on the ad:
Search girl-for-all ' ! "Said Alison bold and laughed.
Jeff, who had been listening all burst out with, go well and Sam could now no longer hold.
, Alison is already a. And Jeff seems to be all right ', thought Sam. Since he was
here, he had forgotten his troubles.
, I think that I'm really good here. "
With a beaming smile, Sam devoted himself to clearing the tables and began his first working day.
Not knowing that he would find in that bar his new fate.
Tbc ...
