Mary Winchester | 04 | [In Person]

[was_a_hunter]

[She couldn't sleep. She hadn't slept properly since she'd arrived...aside from the times John would stay at a motel after their fights, she hadn't slept alone since she was eighteen. Pulling the housecoat tighter around herself, she walked silently through the dark halls. It had become almost ritual to do this at night, walk herself until she was about ready to collapse...it was this or stare at the walls, cried out but unable to rest.

Not caring about where she went, Mary soon found herself staring into the gym. Taking a breath, she stepped inside, a small step for most, but a big one for her. It wouldn't kill her to have a look around, it wasn't like she was doing anything else anyway.

Sitting on the mat, she looked around. Ever since that guard beat the crap out of her, she'd thought about coming here and making herself useful again...she was hesitant though. Part of her wanted to build herself back up like she used to be, to not have to sit back and watch those she loves fight alone, it was beaten down by her other half though. The one that longed for that normalcy she had been denied as a child.

Sighing, she buried her face in her hands. She didn't know what to do. She'd fought so hard to escape having to fight monsters...but was just going to sit back and watch people being slaughtered and beaten when she could have done something to save them?]

...Why am I even here...

Indeed~

[Scoffing, she didn't even grace the woman with a glance. She was here first and seeking alone time, the woman could just go find someone else to bother.]

Pulled from your family and children is more than just a shock. [It was hell. Putting your young children to bed and waking with them grown...it wasn't fair. She'd missed everything.]

[] A priceless treasure... I'm afraid that's not something I'd be able to have any experience with. []

[was_a_hunter]

[Curious...]

Why? As much as a nightmare they can be at times, life just seemed incomplete before my angels were born.

[She couldn't imagine life without the boys anymore. Whenever she'd felt depressed or upset, Dean had always been there to make her feel better.

It was hard to believe this woman didn't at least have a husband to go home to. She was certainly attractive enough.]

SO ABOUT THAT NORMAL ACTRESS BIT...

I can't say it's something I wouldn't want... [] But so far I'm fairly sure I can't have children, and I've had - bad luck. [] Anyone interesting enough to stay with would eventually just die on me anyway...

[was_a_hunter]

[Pulling back slightly as she said that anyone she was interested would die on her, Mary's crow crinkled in confusion.] That's a dark outlook to have. Have you even tried to settle down? ...I don't mean to insult you, but you won't be young forever.

[There was only so long that it would be easy to snag a decent man, she should take advantage of the window while it was available to her...not to mention, if she wanted to have children, she didn't want them to be teenagers while she was too old to properly keep up with them. Until she was positive she was sterile, there was always a chance...]

[] When was the last time I seriously tried that ... [] God, has it really been that long ... wasn't that far before the French Revolution. []

[was_a_hunter]

[The French Revolution? There was no way this woman was that old. She looked to be in her early twenties maybe...]

You can't possibly be that old...surely you made some sort of mistake when counting the years.

[The only way that would have been possible was if she was a demon perhaps..if she was though, then why hadn't she already been attacked? There would be no good reason, so obviously, a mistake was made.]

Appearances can be misleading - I'd give you an exact age, but even I'm not sure of that...

And I'm sure there's a story behind why a normal modern housewife is this anxious about a gym.

[was_a_hunter]

...[Standing, she backed a few feet back. Not out of fear, merely to put a little distance between them until she knew exactly what she was.]

So I take it you're not human then? What are you?[She'd known there was something off about this woman, she just couldn't place it.]

[Don't say anything, Mary. Don't say--] Because I wasn't always a 'normal modern housewife'.

[Dammit! as long as she didn't say anything else, she may be able to get out of here without out letting on her past. The last thing she needed was enemies right now...]

Normal Modern Housewife, meet Normal Harmless Actress.

Not a clue. Everything gets a bit hazy back past the Crusades, I'm afraid, and the most I have to go on is that I'm not quite the girl I used to be. [] I'd say you should count yourself lucky you had that chance, but this place makes it a little hard to keep status quo.
