They believe in her because they want to. They want someone else to be in charge, someone else to carry all the responsibility; they want someone to tell them what to do.

John is dead, after all, and Sam listened to his commands despite all complaints.   If the general has proven to be trustworthy and true, they will follow every instruction to the letter.

Because she claims to have been their father’s friend, because her words prove accurate, and because she shows them respect, they believe in her.

Their mistake.

 

And she watches them chase the demon around, two little boys looking for a reason and something to kill.

She watches her daughter attempt wooing the elder; doomed to failure, that enterprise is, and she can’t wait.

There’s something about John’s boys even he didn’t understand, but she knows. She looks and so she sees—they belong to each other. No one else will ever come between them, can’t—they are blood and bone and loss, woven together by flame.

They have faith in so little. Everything has proven false by sundown, usually, but they keep on looking to her.

They are his sons, aren’t they?

But, more than that—they are Mary’s.

 

And therein, she thinks, watching them prowl about the Roadhouse, itching for something to kill, therein lies the fun.

Little sister thought she could escape the Calling, but all she did was curse her sons.

Family always comes in the end.  And Mary fled far too soon to ever truly leave the nest; but, Ellen decides, as Sam leans down to whisper in his brother’s ear, it was for the best.

After all, if Mary had never run, neither of these two prizes would exist.

 

Demons always fuck everything up. But this one, well… maybe it did something right, push come to shove. Demons always screw everything all to Hell, but shoving these two onto their present course? 

She wonders if it has any inkling what its done, and supposes it hasn’t.

 

They believe in her because they want to. Because they need to.

Their mother was the same.

Because she claims to have been their father’s friend

Brilliant! I hadn't thought of Ellen lying but the boys haven't exactly investigated her claim, have they? And John never mentioned her... Neat!

Wow. Creepy and chilling and WORKS, and makes me suddenly more than a little scared of Ellen. Good job!

I feel like I say this all the time to your fics, but once again, what an interesting perception into the fic. Very dark and the possibility if this were true...? Well, I won't start on all the possibilites, but it's fun to think about. ;)

Thank you for sharing this. :)
