[TWP] Semantics

[enjoythe_ride]

There were words for people like Bela Talbot, most of them not nice. She wasn’t really one to listen anyway, but she knew what they were saying. In fact, Dean Winchester had probably called them all of them to her face, and she was still standing, so that was saying something. In fact, she didn’t mind most of those names. They were all things

OOC

... and that last line is why for all the stupid things she has done, she is still made of awesome. For all Dean objects to that estimation and everything.

Also, it is so very ironic Bela s kind of stung - enough to deny it - by Dean calling her an idiot. Since that's her own estimation for him.

Also, reading this has made me wonder - possibly I should have, sooner - if the demons are using the Colt against the angels.

I think she mostly objects to the idiot bit because usually she does play it pretty smart. At least, that was my impression of her before the Winchesters got involved and the clock started winding down for her. She knows she didn't make the best choices, but she'd like to think she wasn't a total idiot. She thought she was doing what was best for her.

Her being desperate and scared was how she had gotten into making the deal in the first place. Now she's desperate and scared again -- good judgement basically goes out the window.

And that's highly possible. But Castiel didn't even flinch when Dean stabbed him with the knife, so I don't know if the Colt would have more of an effect. It's possible, though.

She doesn't usually play idiot - just on a couple of occasions when it mattered. While Dean does play idiot and doesn't care - except for a few occasions when it matters and he's not, you know, ground down by grief, and then he's downright brilliant, so he has the grounds to point and call names. *snorts* It must drive her crazy >.> And... no, she wasn't doing what's best for her, because listening to a demon just isn't. >.>

Hah. yeah. While desperate and scared is Dean's default modus operandi? And he's learned to cope. Or something.

Haha but the knife? Is demon-killing knife, while the Colt's supposed to kill anything. The boy over here's feeling guilty about losing it all over again anyway >.>

Hence the "she thought." Bela in a clutch isn't pretty. Because if she's stuck and she can't get out, that means she lacks control -- if she has a choice however, she feels like she might be getting an ounce of control back, regardless of where the choice is coming from. Which is why when she's got a couple months before her deal is up, and the demon holding the contract offers her an out -- she takes it, because she feels like it's the best option she has, and reasonably it is. Lilith was the one holding all the cards there -- lying demon or not. Bela never claimed to be brave.

I really think the reasons why she didn't go to Sam and Dean on this was a weird mix of pride and the fact that she would have to explain why she made the deal in the first place -- Dean might have accepted (I won't say bought, because he probably wouldn't, but I think he would have taken it as a reason) a fourteen year-old girl killing her parents for money, but Sam? Sam would have known there was more to the story. And that was the part of the story
