Alternate Ending

For some reason everything was really quiet around the house and Lindsey was getting worried.

Then she heard something, the distant sound of the impala’s engine and another vehicle. Probably Dad’s truck, Lindsey thought.

“I hope to God it’s them.” Lindsey muttered.

Courtney came down the stairs holding a big butchers knife. She didn’t say anything, just walked over to Lindsey. She went behind Lindsey and Lindsey turned her head and watched Courtney cut a long cut along her shoulder, she hissed at the pain. She then watched her cut her own wrist. Suddenly the pain was gone and the only thing running through her head was she was going to be turned.

“What are you doing?” Lindsey asked nervously.

“Revenge.” Courtney answered slowly moving her wrist to Lindsey’s shoulder.

“No.” Lindsey said struggling to try, in some far out way, to get loose and not be turned. But luck was not on her side today and Courtney’s open wrist touched Lindsey’s shoulder. “Oh god.” Lindsey moaned.

Suddenly there was a big bang up stairs followed by a shriek. Lindsey looked at the ceiling and tears came to her eyes. Following the scream was a lot of random commotion.

Courtney moved in front of Lindsey then smiled before she back handed her and knocked her out.

Dean and Sam followed closely behind John, going down the stairs. John pushed open the door and stepped into the downstairs area. The first thing he saw was Courtney smiling and standing in front of a knocked out Lindsey. Then he noticed her freshly cut wrist and Lindsey’s freshly cut shoulder.

His eyes then meet Courtney’s and she smirked at him.

“What did you do?”

“It’s called revenge.” John stepped forward so fast Courtney didn’t see him coming and was surprised when he swung his machete and took off her head.

“That’s called revenge.” He then grabbed her by the legs and pulled her away from Lindsey and kicked her head out of the way.

After John got Courtney out of the way Dean and Sam quickly walked forward to Lindsey. Dean started cutting the ropes while Sam woke her up.

“Lindsey. Lindsey open your eyes Lins.” She started to stir. “That a girl. Come on all the way.” Her eyes fluttered open. No one noticed that John went back upstairs, looking really sad.

“Sam? Dean? What are you guys doing here?” she asked trying to focus on Sam’s face.

“Came to free you from the vamps.” Dean said. He pulled the ropes away from her body, freeing her.

“Vamps?” her eyes shot open. “Oh my God.” She barely whispered.

“What?” Dean asked sounding alert.

“You have to tie me back up.”

“What are –” Dean started.

“Now!” she interrupted him. “Did you kill Courtney?”

“You mean her?” Dean asked nodding toward a decapitate body.

Suddenly Tom came flying down the stairs, following closely behind him was John slowly coming down the stairs. Tom got to his hands and knees, saw Courtney then turned to Lindsey, blood coming from a cut lip.

Lindsey saw Tom look at her then zoned in on the blood. Tom noticed and smiled.

“You turned faster than we thought.”

“Turned?” Dean yelled angrily. “You turned her?”

“Either that or kill her.” Dean then looked back to Lindsey and she was still zoned in on the blood.

“Lindsey! No!” Dean yelled standing in front of her. “Snap out of it!” he shook her by the shoulders.

She blinked and looked up at Dean.

“Oh God.” She whispered, silent tears falling from her eyes.

“Why?” Sam asked, looking at Tom.

“Revenge.” He answered before John took off his head.

“Come on.” Sam said grabbing her by the arm and pulling her up.

“No!” Lindsey yelled, yanking her arm away from Sam. Sam looked at her confused. “Sam don’t you see? I’m a vampire.”

“Look, we’ll find a cure. We’ll fix this.” Dean said. He then looked at John. “Right Dad, there’s got to be something?”

John just watched them with a sad look on his face.

“Dad?” Sam prompted. He just turned around.

“See! Even Dad knows!” Lindsey yelled.

Lindsey picked up a machete off the ground and held it out for Sam. He looked at it, shook his head then looked at the ground. She then turned to Dean and held it out to him. Tears were falling down her face. Just then Autumn and Athena came down the stairs and took in the scene before them.

“Dean, Sam, one of you. You have to do this.” Lindsey said, “You…h-h-have to.” She cried.

“Lindsey…” Dean started.

“No Dean!” She said firmly. “You have to. I don’t want to be something we hunt. Something w-w-we…hate.” Dean turned away because he couldn’t look at her anymore. “I don’t want to find a way out. Because there might not be one. I don’t want to either hurt you or someone else. Please…someone save me.”

Autumn and Athena were standing in the stair way, both had a hand covering their mouths at what Lindsey was asking. Sam was crying, trying to think of other possibilities. Dean and John were both looking down and both had tears in their eyes. Dean was trying, like Sam, to figure out what to do. While John knew, knew there was no cure.

No way out.

“Lindsey we can’t do it.” Dean said turning back to her.

“You have to.” She mumbled. She then looked down. “Please?”

John turned around and stalked toward Lindsey. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her head, then buried his face into her neck while she continued to cry.

“I’m sorry Baby Doll.” He cried.

“Don’t be Daddy, don’t be.”

“I can’t do it.”

“I understand.” He kissed her on the cheek and stepped away.

“Say hi to Mom for me.” Lindsey just nodded.

That’s when everyone knew he was saying his final goodbye. He then turned around and went upstairs. Sam just stared after him in shock.

Autumn and Athena both came forward and gave Lindsey a hug.

“It was nice meeting you.” Autumn said backing up, letting Athena in.

“Same here. Wish it didn’t have to end like this.” Athena said, backing up also.

“Thanks. It was nice meeting you too.” Lindsey said smiling. Athena then followed Autumn up the stairs leaving the Winchester kids alone to say goodbye.

Sam and Dean looked at each other before Sam could say his goodbye, John came back down holding a gun. He gave it to Dean and nodded before heading back upstairs.

“It’s the colt.” Sam said amazed.

“The gun that can kill any supernatural thing?” Lindsey asked, Dean nodded. “Good. I wasn’t too happy about getting my head cut off.” She said with a sad smile.

Sam looked at Lindsey. “We could have found something.”

“We could have. What if it took forever? Or we never did?” she said looking at Sam, begging him to understand with her eyes. “I don’t want to be like this forever.”

Sam stepped forward and pulled Lindsey into a crushing hug.

“I can’t say goodbye and I can’t watch.”

“I know. I love you.” He kissed her temple. Then backed up and looked at Dean. A couple tears fell down his face before he headed upstairs.

Lindsey then turned to Dean.

“Just you and me Girly.” Lindsey looked at him and her stream of tears increased.

“I’m scared De.”

“Aww Lins.” Dean sighed pulling her into his warm embrace. She buried her face on his shoulder and openly cried.

“Shhh.” He soothed, rubbing her back. “Every things going to be fine. I love you.”

“Love you to.”

“Forever…”

“And always…” Lindsey muttered.

“How are we going to do this?” Lindsey asked after her tears ran dry.

“Relax and close your eyes.” Dean felt her relax in his embrace.

He pulled back and turned her around.

He then cocked the gun and pressed it against the back of her head. Lindsey took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

She opened her eyes and saw a bright white light and smiled, she swore she saw Mary waiting for her, with a welcoming smile.

BANG!
