Summary: “I get it.” Dean twisted the silver knife, watching her snake-like eyes bulge with pain and then go glassy. As he roughly pulled out the knife, she crumpled bonelessly over her partner’s dead body. Panting, he stared down at their ashen, reptilian corpses, and his mouth tasted of copper and his tongue felt numb, as though he hadn’t used it in a month. “Why you hunt in pairs.”
Set pre-series, though the inspiration for this story is a detail mentioned in 7x11 Adventures in Babysitting: While Sam is at Stanford, Dean has a run-in with a pair of vetalas.
A/N: For my dear friend
canonisrelative. Merry Christmas!
