FLASHBACK

14 YEARS EARLIER

June 2006

Salt Lake City, Utah

"When do you think mom's coming home?" 7 year old Kate asks 11 year old Paige who is serving her instant ramen.

"I don't know, she's usually out hunting late" she replies. 

"I hate it when she's not here" Kate says looking down, playing with her noodles. 

"I know, I hate it too" Paige says, serving herself. She sits down, and as she’s about to eat.

They get a knock at their motel door, Paige quickly looks up, and turns off the lights.

She moves Kate onto the floor under the table, and reaches for the shotgun her mother gave her to protect herself and Kate. 

They get another knock on the door this time more aggressive. 

"I know you're in there Winchester" a male voice says. 

The doorknob turns aggressively, and he starts to bang on the door. 

"Open the fucking door" he demands. 

"Stay here" she whispers to Kate. 

Paige stands up holding the shotgun aiming it at the door, she tries to make herself sound like a threat but she’s actually terrified. 

"Who is it?' she says loudly, 

"Where's Mandy?" he yells. 

"She's not here" she yells back. 

He then throws himself at the door, she looks back at Kate who is on the urge of tears. 

"Go away!!!" Paige yells at him. 

"What are you gonna do about little girl?" he says, making shivers going down her spine 

"You come in and you're fucking dead" she says, cocking the shotgun.

He laughs maniacally and says "You're not gonna kill anyone little girl". 

He continues to throw himself at the door, and he eventually breaks it down.

Sees Paige aiming a shotgun at him, Kate hiding under the table. 

He scoffs at her "Really, you're a child" he grabs the shotgun out of her hands and tosses it to the floor. 

The man he’s about 5’10-6’0, bald with a pedophile mustache, 250-270 pounds with a beer belly.

"Where's Mandy?" he yells, grabbing her hair and pulling on it. 

She reaches in her back pocket and slices his hand with her hunting knife. 

He screams in pain clenching his hand, letting go of her hair pushing her to the ground dropping her knife. 

She runs to the shotgun but gets shoved into the wall, a framed photo falls on her head in the process. The glass cutting her forehead. 

He turns to Kate, lifts the table and throws it out of the way. 

Making Kate scream and roll up into a ball. 

Paige gets up, grabs her knife and tackles him before he can get his hands on her, and stabs him in the throat killing him. 

His blood getting on her hands, the floor and on the bed. 

His body drops hard to the floor, he twitches and dies of blood loss. 

They both sit there in shock, Kate rolled up in the corner of the room crying her eyes out. 

Paige sits there on the floor looking at the blood on her hands. 

She's never killed anyone before but she knew what she had too. 

He was gonna do Chuck knows what to her little sister, and it was her job to protect her whenever their mother wasn't around. 

After what felt like hours the sound of their mother's voice echoes from down the hall. 

"Girls!!!!!" she yells out from the hallway. 

When she gets to the doorway, Kate stands up and runs to her. 

"Mommy" she says, still crying, hugging her. 

She looks over at Paige. 

"What happened?" she asks.

 "I killed him, he was-he was gonna hurt us" she answers, still in shock and looking motionless. "Did you let him in?" she asks. Their mom was very very strict about letting strangers into their room whenever she wasn’t around.

She shakes her head "He burst in, looking for you". 

Mandy walks over to the body, and sees his face 

"Shit" she whispers. 

"Get your stuff, we have to get out of here" she says in a panicked tone. 

They grab all their stuff and go to their car. They pack it up, and drive down the road away from that town.

END OF FLASHBACK

“Kate!?!?!?!?” Paige yells in shock over the gunfire, and screaming. 

“Come on, we're getting you out of here” Kate says. 

Wheaty comes into her cage to help her up.

“Wheaty??!?!?” Paige says.

“Come on, we’re getting out of here!!” he yells, as him and Kate help her up.

Eli, and a bunch of other Whitetails shoot at Jacob’s men, killing them. 

They help her into the backseat of the truck, Ryan goes into the truck with them.

Eli jumps into the driver seat, and Paige doesn’t see her but Mandy gets into the passenger seat.

Jacob watches from the balcony of the Veteran’s Centre as the truck that took Paige drives off. 

Paige feeling lightheaded, she puts her hands on her head.

“Hey you okay?” Kate asks. 

Paige looks at everyone disoriented. It takes her a few minutes to recognize everyone in the truck, she still doesn’t realize her mother is sitting in the passenger seat. 

Her mind finally goes clear, and she looks over at Kate. Tears fall down her cheeks, and she pulls her in for a tight embrace. 

She looks at everyone. Kate, Eli, Wheaty and Ryan.

“Thanks you guys” she says, with tears running down her face.

She looks over at the woman sitting in the front seat, and thanks her too.

“Thanks to you too. Militia lady”

She turns her head, and says “Don’t you recognize your own mother!?”.

“Mom!?!?!?!” she yells out, making Eli jump. 

She hugs her from behind the seat.

She’s crying even more now. She’s finally out of that shit hole, she can finally see her family again, and better yet she has her mom back. 

She asks the same questions Kate asked her earlier that day. 

Kate gets a phone call from Kenny.

Paige looks and sees that Kenny is calling her.

Her heart completely skips several beats.

“Do you wanna talk to him?” Kate asks her.

She hesitates, “No I want to surprise him”.

She answers the phone, and puts it on speaker.

“Hey Kenny” Kate says calmly.

“Kate!, where are you!?!!??” he asks frantically. 

“I told you, I had to deal with a personal issue” she responds.

 Paige tries holding back tears, as she hears her husband's voice. 

“Yeah, you said that already. Did you go to the VC??” he asks.

“No, I didn’t” she lies. “Why?”. 

“Nate told me there was a break in” he says.

“Really?? When??” she lies again. Kate is really good at lying. 

“I don’t know like 10-15 minutes ago” he says. “Where are you??"

"I’m at the Wolf's Den”

“Why are you at the Wolf's Den?” he asks suspiciously. 

“You’ll find out when I get home” she says, and she hangs up her phone. 

“Who’s Kenny?” Mandy asks.

“That’s my husband” Paige says. 

Mandy snaps her head back and looks at her. 

“When did you get married?” she asks.

“April of last year” she responds. “Hell you even have a granddaughter”

The look of despair on Mandy’s face. She turns her head forward, and looks out the window.

She never even tried to contact her daughters.

If she did, she would’ve been able to attend Paige’s wedding, be there at the birth of her daughter and be there to meet her son in law. 

They make it back to the wolves' den, and Paige eyes light up, and immediately jumps out of the truck the second she sees the Impala. 

She runs to it, and hugs it as if it were her child.

“She loves that car” Kate says to Wheaty and Ryan.

Kate puts her hand on her shoulder, and says.

“There’s a lot we need to talk about” and without hesitation. 

Paige opens her shirt, and rolls up her sleeves revealing her sins.

“Yeah, I know. John Seed told me a lot about you two” she says this, and goes into the bunker.

Kate sighs, and follows her inside.

The second Kate steps into the first room, Paige doesn’t lash out at her. She just sounds extremely disappointed. 

“So you and temper tantrum Seed were in a relationship?” 

Kate sighs, and says. “Yeah, we dated. We dated for 9-10 months. When I moved out here back in 2018”.

“How did you two even hook up?” she asks.

“He saved me” she says.

Confused, Paige says “He saved you??”.

“Yeah, he saved one night when I got off of work”

“What happened?” she asks curiously. 

“I got jumped, I was able to hold the guy off, but he punched him in the face, and that’s when John came out of nowhere, and he beat up the guy”.

Paige looks at Kate confused.

She stumbles over her words, “So- so John, he- he has a soft spot for you?”

Kate shrugs, “Yeah basically when I finished my time at the University, and I graduated. I did stick around for a while. And that's when.” she stops speaking and turns away.

“And that's when what??” she asks. “Kate!? That's when what happened?”.

She turns to face her, and says softly. “He got possessed by a demon”

Paige’s eyes widened. “Are you serious?!” 

She nods her head “Yeah, he was possessed by Saleos”.

“And another demon by the name of Merihem attacked my friends while they were on a camping trip, putting 3 of them in the hospital”.

Paige looks down at the ground, those names she knows she’s heard them somewhere. 

Kate rolls up her sleeves, and shows Paige her tattoos. 

“Those are your tattoos” she says, telling her as if she were a child.

“All my tattoos cover my sins. John, who was possessed by Saleos, forced him to have me atone.”

“What about Merihem?” Paige asks.

“I killed him. He was possessing the man who jumped me, and I killed him. Along with the demon”.

“So John knows about what we do?” she asks.

She nods her head “Yes”.

“You fucked up another one” Paige jokes. They both laugh. 

Mandy walks in and says

“So? How are my girls doing?”

“Well I have a bone to pick with you as well” Paige says to Mandy.

“Jacob told me that you and Joseph Seed were involved with each other years ago.”

She closes her eyes and lets out sigh.

“Yes, Joseph and I were involved with each other. But it's not what you think. You see I was working as a double agent for the Whitetails”

“Jacob also said that, and supposedly Joseph had some of his followers kill you. And clearly you’re not dead unless I’m on drugs”

“Yeah, Joseph did feel betrayed by me because he wanted me to be The Mother of Eden's Gate”.

Paige and Kate both look at each other in confusion. 

“Wow, so basically all 3 of us were involved with the Seed brothers in some way” Paige says. “Because you *points to Kate* you were romantically involved with John, and you *points to Mandy* you were involved in a work kind of way with Joseph, and I was kidnapped by Jacob, and he wanted me to be a part of his army, and I’m also 100% sure he wanted to fuck me”

They all share a laugh, and spend the next 20-30 minutes catching up. 

Kate gets up and goes to get a drink. 

Wheaty walks in a few moments later.

“Hey” he says to her.

“Hey” she responds with a smile. 

“You’re sister, she just looks different” he tells her.

She nods her head, and says “Yeah, I can’t imagine what Jacob did to her”.

“All the shit he put her through in the last few months”. 

“Your sister is strong. From what Ryan told me. Jacob tormented her, he pushed her until she broke, and she never did. And what really set her off, is that Jacob mentioned her daughter, and she went ballistic”.

She does a little side smile, and says “Yeah I can imagine that. And yeah without a doubt Paige is very strong mentally and physically. She took care of me, protected me throughout our whole lives, and she owns up to it”.

They both lean against the kitchen counter for a few minutes.

Kate sighs, and steps forward, standing in front of Wheaty.

“I just wanted to thank you, Eli and Tammy for helping my family. If Paige would’ve stayed there a little longer, I’m pretty sure she would be dead”

“I’m glad Eli, Tammy and I could help” he says, pushing himself off the wall. 

Standing in front of her. 

Kate hugs him, and he is taken aback by it. He hugs her back, and they stay like that for a few minutes.

She pulls away from their hug, and looks up at him. 

And without any hesitation, she kisses him.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, he places his hands on her hips, pulling her closer to him.

After a few minutes of kissing, Eli walks in on them and awkwardly clears his throat. 

Kate breaks their kiss, and looks back at Eli. 

Feeling like a teenager getting caught for making out with a guy by their parents or older sibling.

“I’ll just get this, and leave” he says, grabbing something off the counter, and awkwardly leaves the kitchen. 

They stand there for a few minutes laughing at what just happened. 

A few moments later Kate, and Wheaty go back into the main room with the others.

Mandy, Paige and Kate leave the bunker, and head home to Holland Valley.

They all say their goodbyes, they have all their stuff, they put everything in the car, 

and Mandy of course makes Paige take the passenger, and she drives the Impala just like the old days, when Kate and Paige were children. 

She starts up the car, the sound of the engine rumbling is like music to Paige’s ears.

She leans forward, turns on the radio, trying to find a station that’ll play some good rock music, and of course a great classic.

It's the penultimate before the series finale😖😭, and shit is about to get REAL!!!!!!!!. Enjoy this small preview nothing major but its a Ship in the works!!!!.

Chapter 16 will be posted later today!!

____________________________________________________

After what just happened the night before, Kate finally realizes who she wants to be with. Part of her still loves John but she knows she can't be with him, at all, she gets out of bed, gets dressed, putting on black jeans, boots and a flannel shirt. She looks over at John who is dead asleep in her bed, looking at him one last time because she knows she's gonna have to let him go. It's for her own good, she's taking Paige's advice and is moving on from him. She quickly goes downstairs nearly colliding with her mom.

"Kate, where you going?" Paige calls out.

"I'll be back!!!" she responds, running to her car.

She starts it up, and drives off the property, leaving behind a cloud of dirt.

"What is she up to?" Mandy asks.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna have to find out" Paige responds.

Kate drives down the road leaving Holland Valley into the Whitetail Mountains. She gets to the area of the Wolf's Den, climbs up the hill.

She sees the bunker door open as usual, and she walks down the dark steps.

"Wheaty?!" she calls out.

Wheaty who is putting records away, hears her voice, he looks back at Eli and Tammy, and goes to where her voice is.

Eli and Tammy hear her, and they follow behind him.

"Is that Kate?" Eli asks.

She makes it to the bottom on the steps, and the second she sees Wheaty, she crashes her lips against his. Wrapping her arms around him.

This actually startled Wheaty, he no idea she was gonna come by, but he's glad she did. He's had a crush on her the moment he met her when she first moved to Hope County a few years before she met John Seed.

He wraps his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. Kate knows she has to let John go, her family and his family are enemies, and she doesn't want the whole Romeo and Juliet vibe.

Let alone Paige wants to kill him for marking her with her sins, and just straight up annoying her. Part of her still loves John, but all he'll ever be to her is an ex lover, maybe not much of a friend.

She pulls away from their kiss, resting her head against his chest, neck area.
