“You wouldn't understand. No one did. Never mind. I'll just do what I've always done. I'll deal with it myself.”

[Caption: stills of Bela Talbot in Supernatural accompanied by the quote above. The set includes her in a black dress with heavy neck jewellry and a matching bracelet; her smiling as she points a gun (at Dean, in her apartment), and her smiling as a gun is pointed at her (when she lies to Dean about her parents). All of them are edited so that her eyes look completely black, like a demon’s.]

A crossroads. How fitting.

[Caption: gifs from season 3 episode 15 of Supernatural. Dean, furious about Bela taking the Colt and hearing her talk about her parents’ deaths, pushes her against the wall invading her space and presses his gun to her chin. The movement makes an herb Bela had put above the door get knocked, while Bela visibly tries to appear calm. Dean tells Bela that she makes him sick, and she replies with a “likewsie”. He steps back to point the gun at her face with a smile that looks more like a grimace; Bela closes her eyes, expecting him to shoot her. That’s when Dean notices the herb and hesitates. Bela opens her eyes; Dean’s lip trembles and he puts down the gun, telling her she’s not worth it. He manhandles her to open the door behind her and leave, and that’s when it’s revealed Bela pulled something out of his pocket: a ticket from the motel he’s staying at, The Erie. Bela takes her phone from her purse and makes a call; she tells the person on the other side that “it worked” and Dean found her, revealing she’d wanted him to. She adds that Sam wasn’t with him, but that Bela knows how to find them.]

[Caption: gifs from Supernatural. Still point their guns at the other, Dean tries to appeal to Bela by telling her Sam will die if they don’t recover the rabbit’s foot. She tells him she’d give it to him (surprising him for a moment)... for her original price of one and a half million dollars. Dean questions how she could even find it, since it was secretely in his father’s storage, and Bela looks at an ouija board and tells him she asked the ghosts of the people it’d killed before. Dean judges her for being only at for herself and looking for number one, and Bela says that hunters aren’t much more noble, calling them “obssessed, revenge-driven sociopaths” and affirming they’re trying to safe a world that can’t be saved, prompting Dean to call her a glass half-full. Bela replies with the line “we’re all going to Hell, Dean. Might as well enjoy the ride.”, and Dean shows his agreement.]

[Caption: gifs from Supernatural. With their guns out pointing at each other, Dean tries to argue his case so that Bela returns the rabbit’s foot to him. She refuses, saying that he’d be surprised what some people would pay for it, cursed or not; that with the amulets and talismans hunters use against monsters, they could put their grandchildren through college. Dean berates her for knowing what’s “really going on out there” and deciding to become a thief, with a playful judgemental pout. Bela says that “she procures unique items for a select clientele”; when she asserts that still makes her a thief, she replies, “No. A great thief.”, making him raise and eyebrow and nod in recognition.]
