Pt. 1 collateral chapter 1. The Choice

We open up seeing a scene through the crack of a door; a person is walking back and forth.

"I didn't mean for it to get this far, I didn't- I just wanted to! Oh God what have I done" comes a female voice.

Male voice: "Anna! Stop! Take a Look at yourself; this isn't what Dean would've wanted. He would've wanted us to be out there, stopping the damn bitch, not crooning over his wounds."

Anna: "Don't you get it, Bobby; these aren't wounds, as you say. These are his death! He is dying. Dying, bobby."

Bobby: "I know that! And don't think for one second that this hurts me even a little bit less than you. THAT boy on THAT bed is the closest thing left to family that I'm holding on to. But Dean worked too hard, and too long to leave it to you to fail. We have to stop her, before the last seal is broken."

Anna: "And what of him, are we supposed to let him just rot to death, No! Hell no! I won't let that happen"

All of a sudden two feet walk in front of the door and it opens, and we can now see in side. In side we see Anna passing back and forth, Uriel in the corner looking at her, and an unconscious, bleeding, scarred, sweating Dean on the bed with his shirt off, wrapped in bandages and with a cloth on his forehead. It is Castiel who entered the room

Bobby: "Did you get it? Let me see it."

Castiel: "No! It is not for you, it is for Dean or Sam only."

Bobby "Yeah, well, we're a little short on those!"

Upon seeing dean on the bed, Castiel drops a cloth holding something in it on the bed next to dean and sits next to him, pressing a hand against his forehand

Castiel "What happened?!"

Anna "Lillith! That's what; The Bitch gave us a run for our money. He's dying."

Castiel "How long?"

Anna "'bout an Hour or Two, He has only a few more left, maybe a day at most."

Castiel turns to Anna "Anna, have you forgotten your own strength. You can fix this, you can heal him."

Anna: "I can, but I don't remember how. And in the time it takes for me to learn, he'll already be dead and Lucifer will be putsing around up here."

Bobby: "We need Sam."

Castiel "Then GET Sam, he can stall for us while Anna learns how to save Dean. Where is he?"

Anna "Sam went AWOL before Deans run in with- . We don't know where he is!"

Castiel "We have to stop Lillith; one seal is left, we can't afford this. But we do need to save Dean, we can't stop Lillith ourselves. We have a few hours at most, FIND!!! SAM!!!!!!"

48 hours earlier

We enter in next upon the Langston family at a grocery store in Oswego, Illinois. Cynthia Langston is the mother with her husband Robert, and their four kids, Louis, Conner, Jessica, and Matthew.

Cynthia Langston: "Alright, Everyone here is your grocery lists, Jessica you have produce, Robert, you and Matthew have meat, I have carbohydrates, Louis you have sweets, have fun, and Conner, you have liquids. Everyone good? Good! Meet at the check out line in one half hour."

Robert (in his early 40's) and Matthew (10) walk off towards the meats together

Matthew: "Why do we always get meats?"

Robert: "Because were men, and men eat meat. Gerr." (He says this playfully while nuggying his son.)

Matthew laughing "stop it! You're embarrassing"

Skip to Jessica in produce

Jessica: "Green apple? Green apple? Green apple? Aha! Green Apple! O.K 2 Lemons, where are the lemons? (Bumps into a young man in his 20's) Oh! I'm sorry, Excuse me."

Man laughs and smiles.

Skips to mom searching down the chip aisle. She drops a bag chips off of the shelf.

Cynthia (mom): "Shoot" picks them up. "Ugh! 30 carbs, I don't think so..no! (puts chips back.) What about Jays?" She drops chips again and leans down to pick them up but a red headed little girl in purple dress picks them up for her.

Cynthia: "Oh! Thank you little girl"

Little girl: "Oh your welcome! I like helping people, it's fun."

Cynthia: "Oh (laughing) well that's sweet, where is your mommy."

Little girl: "No where. But my friend is over there." She says this pointing over to the man Jessica bumped into by the produce section.

Cynthia: "oh! (she says unsure) well, um, is he related to you?"

Little girl: "O no, but don't worry about him, I was wondering if….. (Suddenly excited) You could do me a favor since I did one for you."

Cynthia: "O sure, whatever you need."

Little Girl: "YAY! YAY! YAY! I knew you would say yes…O.K could you just stand still for me, and relax, that makes it easier to throw you."

Cynthia: "Wha- little girl are you-"

Little girl: "I said STAND STILL! But if you won't, then ill just have to do this the hard way." Suddenly her eyes turn all white and she flings her hand making Cynthia fly backward. It is Lillith!
