SAAAAAAAAAmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do, you have free will,” The voice said in Sam’s head. As he reached for his head, the demon/thing fell to the floor. John rushed in the room put not before he threw a mug of holy water on the demon. While it screeched in pain, he went to his son.
“Hey, you okay?”
Sam shook his head before he moved his father out of his way and slammed the thing against the wall with his mind. He was really angry now.
“That’s my boy,” the thing said with a laugh. Let you angry feed your power.”
“SHUT UP,” Sam yelled.
Dean heard his brother as he rushed back into the house. John moved away from Sam.

Meanwhile Sarah’s head felt like it might fall off her body as it ached she began to see visions. She could see Sam and his battle with the thing. She tried hard to take a deep breath before she dropped the gun to the floor and stood up shaking.
“Oh God what is happening to me.”

Deanna woke up from her fitful sleep to look around the room. Cassie had Cassidy on her chest as she slept beside Deanna. Deanna frowned. Her little head hurt and she didn’t know what to do. She touched Cassie on the arm.
“Mommy,” she said with a sniffle.
Cassie opened her eyes to see her daughter was in tears.
“Hey what’s wrong?” she asked as she moved Cassidy from her down to the bed. “I don’t feel good,” she said simply since she didn’t know how to explain about headaches.
“Where does it hurt?” Cassie asked as she reached to touch her daughter’s forehead.
Cassie could tell she had a slight fever.
“It’s my head and I want Daddy here.”
Cassie indicated for Deanna to crawl around her sound asleep sister to come to her. Once she was in Cassie’s arms should held her against her chest.
“I know Sweetie, I want Daddy here too,” she said into Deanna’s hair.

At Johns, Dean stood in the door as he kept an eye on the thing. Sam was in control again as he pointed the colt at the thing.
“Tell me why you need me so bad? Tell me why you hurt my family?”
“I assume since you have that special gun on me you want the short version.”
“We killed yellow eyes who are you?”
“Oh another question?”
John threw more holy water on the thing to help him to see that they weren’t playing. This time it laughed instead of screaming.
“Yeah that doesn’t really work on me, I was just playing earlier.”
John tried not to show his emotions. He had a feeling that things were headed down hill.

When Sarah got to the bathroom she leaned heavily on the sink. She had no idea why she suddenly was having visions. She hoped it was a way she could help. After several deep breaths she concentrated on Sam as she had seen him in the vision. Maybe she could read his mind, maybe she could calm him or direct him some how. After several long minutes of focusing she thought she could hear something.

At the house, Dean had sent Alan down to the basement so find Vickie. He wanted to make certain the didn’t get any surprises while they dealt with the thing up in the living area. Alan walked down stairs slowly with a salt gun in his hand. He looked left then right and couldn’t see anyone or anything.
“Vickie?” he said loudly.
Then there was a noise from the storage area to the right of him. He went toward it but took a deep breathe before he slowly opened the door. He could see Vickie right away as she looked wide eyed at him. Alan backed away when he saw her eyes were black. Before he could raise the gun he went flying across the room. Vickie screamed inside herself before the thing left her “I’m Sorry”, she was dead before it entered Alan.

“Who was that talking in my head?” Sam asked inside himself. Sara heard the question as though he had asked her aloud. She frowned, she didn’t understand how or why she could suddenly read his mind. Then she began to focus and listen closely. Sam was angry and the demon he was up against wanted Sam to turn “darkside.” She shook her head. But she didn’t know who was talking to Sam as he had wondered maybe they could help whoever it was. Oh this will never do. She left the bathroom determined to find a way to help though she couldn’t leave the twins. Sarah packed up the babies then took off to go to Cassie’s house. On the way, she phoned Missouri.

“What kind of mind games are you playing. I WILL NEVER Join YOU.” The thing just laughed a high pitched annoying sound that made Dean want to throw something. John had backed out of the room to go check on Vickie only to run into Alan, though he instinctively was aware the man had been compromised.
“I didn’t see Vickie,” Alan said as the thing pretended to be him.
“Oh Dean sent you down to retrieve her I put her in the closet for safe keeping,” John said conversationally as he thought quickly.
“I checked,” the man said before he stopped John from going down the steps.
“Oh okay,” John said before he took a step backward as he saw Dean taking aim behind Alan with a glass of holy water.
The man screamed as the demon left him but after a few minutes they were able to calm down Alan. Dean left John with Alan as he returned to help Sam.

“Honey calm down, now tell me again what’s happening,” Missouri said calmingly to Sarah.
Sarah explained again slowly just before she turned in Cassie’s drive way. Cassie opened the garage when she saw her sister in law outside. Sarah had called on the way to give Cassie time to get the kids situated. Cassie had to convinced Deanna who stood at the back door with her to stay inside so she could help Sarah with the twins.
“But Mommy I can help,” she said as she looked up at her.
“You can help by holding the door open for us okay?”
“K.”

“Missouri something is happening to me and I’m not sure if this is the best time… I mean I want to help…”
“It’s okay it seems like to me it is the best time. You may be able to help Sam then you can figure everything out together later, Honey. Just relax when you get inside and let the visions come. It sounds like it might be crucial for you all.”
Sarah bit her lip as she swallowed hard as she put the cell phone away before she took Izzie out of the car seat. The little girl squeezed her eyes against the light of the garage. “You okay?” Cassie asked as they gathered in the kitchen on the way to the den.
“I think so, would you mind very much watching the twins so I can go somewhere quiet to focus on all this.”
“Sure no problem. I’ll be praying for you,” Cassie said before Sarah left the room leaving.
Deanna looked grim for one so young. Cassie thought she might cry again.
“Hey Sweeties sit on the sofa and you can hold your cousin okay.”
Deanna nodded as she leaned back on the over large sofa then put her arms out. Izzie went into the little girl’s arms without hesitance. Izzie leaned on her shoulder and the baby seemed to calm Deanna as she smiled at her mother. Cassie picked up Stewart and sat down not far from Deanna just before Alexis came to the door.
“Cassidy, Jason and Marty are all sleep again I just wanted to let you know. Do you need anything before I lay down again?”
“No that’s fine thank you for helping out tonight. It has been long and a bit worrisome,” Cassie said with false brightness in her voice. Alexis nodded before she left to go back to watch over the other children who had gathered in their parents bedroom while Sarah was on the way over.

Sarah lie down on the sofa in the living room. She took deep breaths as she tried to focus. Okay, they are at Johns, visualize, she said to herself. Breathe in, Breathe out slow, even, in, out. She knew she had to relax so for a few moments she just cleared her mind and allowed thoughts of Sam to come and go at will. She saw the first time they met, the first time they had dined out, then images of their time spent at their old apartment raced through her head. Then she saw something just a shadow, some where between them moving to be near Dean and their wedding. Her heart raced. Manipulation... fate……, destiny She consciously slowed her hear rate again. Okay if this is why they are together, then she would go with the flow. Sam needed her and no matter the reasons, she loved him and refused to let him be hurt.

Then the vision of Sam in his present confrontation showed itself. He was still angry like earlier, maybe a bit more. “Relax,” she told him, “I can help you.”
Sam stayed cool as he glared at the man using the meat suit as some call our human bodies. Sam they lie just kill the thing we are better off figuring things out on our own, Sarah said in Sam’s head. Sam shook his head, the pointed the colt at the thing, “You know, I don’t want to talk to you any more,” he said before he shot the thing once in the head and once in the heart. Immediately, there was a loud screeching sound, similar to fingers on the chalkboard, next there was fire then finally the ashes floated to the floor, just before Sam collapsed on the spot. Dean and John went to help him up as Sarah felt a strange feeling come over her. It was relief.

After they found Vickie’s body they backed the car up to the house and put her body in the trunk. John could only watch in silence they would have to salt and burn it somewhere else. Then he would need a story to satisfy everyone including Alexis, that would be the hard part. He wasn’t sure if he could lie to her daughter, Sam had suggested he tell Alexis the truth after he revived. Her mother got in over her head in the coven and something awful has happened. Sam had a feeling Alexis wasn’t as blind as her mother thought.

Cassie heard Dean’s car when it drove in the garage though she had been sound asleep. She looked over to find Deanna awake as she watched. The little girl had her arms wrapped around her pillow and her eyes were wide.
“Daddy’s back,” she said with a smile as she jumped off the bed.
“Sounds like it let’s …..go get him,” Cassie said to herself since Deanna ran out of the room ahead of her.
Dean and Sam walked in with frowns on their faces. John was almost in tears as he walked by them without a word. Dean smiled when he saw Deanna who ran to him before she reached for him to pick her up.
“K daddy?” she asked when she was in his arms.
He kissed her forehead, as he nodded, “I’m fine Dee Dee.”
He held her close to his chest when Cassie came in the room. She finally let out a breath she was so glad he was safe. Sam smiled at her as he left the room to go find Sarah, since he had seen her car outside.

Sarah ran into his arms when he walked into the living room. She held him close in the desire to make certain he was fine.
“I heard you,” he said.
“I’m glad,” she replied against his chest.
“I think you’re right we have to find another way to figure out this mystery. I would not have wanted that thing to get away, killing it was the only way.”
She pulled back from him to lead him to the sofa. They sat down but could only stare in each other eyes. They both wondered why it felt as if had been days since they saw one another when it had only been a few hours.
“I don’t know why or how but I’m glad I was able to help.”
“Me too and I figured out what the other voice was,” Sam said.
“Who?”
“It was my conscious. It was fighting against the evil that thing tried to bring out in me.”
“That is wonderful, I mean in a way I am more happy for that….”
“Not that you thought I would turn totally evil………”
“No but it shows there is so much more good in you, I know you were concerned with that at one point. You thought you were drawing evil to your family.”
Sam smiled he knew she was right, he pulled into her into his arms before he asked about the twins.

John ran into Alexis in the hallway and they went to the den to chat. He told her what had happened as plainly as he could without giving his position away. He held her stiffly in his arms as she cried on his shoulder for several moments. He somehow had the feeling she wasn’t as shocked as she should have been.
“You knew about your mother’s involvement in the coven, didn’t you?” he asked as she dapped her eyes with the back of her hand.
“I ….um found out by accident a while ago. She was my mother I was not sure how to approach her about it. I did do research….I was…”
“What?”
“Had a bad feeling something might happen to her.”
She explained to John that one of her friends had a relative in a coven and they had spoken openly of the things that were going on that were very bad.”
John asked her about her father and his reaction to Vickie.
“Dad thought it was all evil so he well, took things in to over kill. Mom retaliated with the lies about him.”
“You were stuck in the middle?”
She nodded as the tears came again.
Meanwhile, Dean and Cassie took all the kids back up to their beds to tuck them in. In the boys room, Marty and Jason snuggled under the covers with smiles. They may have missed all the action but they loved the attention.
“Good night you little rascals,” Dean said after he kissed their cheeks before he and Cassie took the girls to their room. Cassidy was in her daddy’s arms while Deanna held Cassie’s hand. Dean’s angel baby gave him a big girl hug before he put her in the bed, while Deanna hugged her mother than waited for her dad.

---updated November 23, 2009-- I apologize that this story has not been completed yet. There have been a few ideas I have played with but nothing that ends it in a way to satisfy me. I will continue to figure this out.
