Library [10/01]

Sam had tried to sleep last night, or at least fake it for Illyria's sake, but he couldn't keep his conversation with Andy from replaying over and over in his head. He wasn't alone with his demon-supported ability, not anymore, and while that was vaguely reassuring, it also meant that Yellow Eyes hadn't lied to him about there being other kids like him, and that meant everything else he'd ever said to Sam could be true too.

The demon blood was a whole separate issue. It explained so much - how he ended up with visions, what Yellow Eyes had been doing in his nursery - but left him with dozens of other questions - why didn't he have a problem with holy water, why didn't he have trouble in church, how quickly would his dad disown him when he found out? He was trying to stay hopeful until he had time to talk to Castiel, but it wasn't easy. Hopefully, he'd have some solid distractions to get him through the day.

Claire followed his glance. "What are you playing?" she asked.

"The Sims," Sam said, looking a little embarrassed when he realized that Claire might not like what he was doing. "I'm being mean, don't mind me."

"You? Are being mean? To whom? And why?"

Because that just didn't sound like Sam to her.

"Um. To your grandmother," Sam admitted. "But she was mean first, I swear."

"My gran... oh, you mean Angela?" Claire asked, making a face. "Of course she was mean first. It's her superpower."

"She tried to bribe me to break up with Peter this weekend," Sam told her. "I mean, I knew she didn't like me 'cause I'm not rich and famous, and I think that deep down, the whole guy thing bugs her too. But trying to force me to break up with Peter was just unnecessary."

Claire stared, a fleeting thought of 'how could she' passing through her mind before she realized that, yeah, that sounded exactly like Angela.

"Let me guess. She gave you some bullshit line about it being the best thing for Peter and the family?"

Sam nodded, a little sadly. "She made it sound like if I really loved Peter, I'd let him go because it would be better for him," he said. "Has she not met Peter?"

"Oh, she'll claim that she's acting in Peter's best interests or Nathan's or mine," Claire said. "But don't ever believe her because the only person's best interests she ever acts in are her own."

"Yeah, I've noticed that," Sam said. "Peter was pissed at her. You know if you've made Peter mad, you've done something wrong."

"Yeah, but he'll forgive her," she said, rolling her eyes. "Because he buys into that whole family party line crap she spouts."

What? Could it be? Claire was expressing a negative thought about Peter?

"So I'm not the only one annoyed by Peter's loyalty?" Sam said, looking a little relieved. "I mean, he loves everyone, I get that. It's one of his most endearing qualities, his ability to find something to like about everyone. But sometimes it just doesn't make sense."

"It drives me insane," Claire admitted. "And it's all Peters everywhere."

At least she hoped she could avoid bad things happening to this Peter.

"I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I mean, in the end, he sided with me," Sam said. "I'm glad it's not just my Peter. All friends of all Peters should have to deal with the same frustration."

"Remind him of how manipulative she is occasionally," Claire said. "I still feel like it's her fault my Peter and Nathan died."

"I don't know if I'd go that far. She does love them, in her own way," Sam said, because he hadn't spent enough time around her.
