Chapter One

Crouching down and running his fingers along the books on the bottom shelf, Sam was overwhelmingly frustrated. Dean's deal was ending in almost five weeks and he had not been able to come up with anything to break it. He knew there had to be a way, but finding it had been so far impossible. Sam had researched on the internet over and over barely getting any sleep for the eleven months since starting. Dean had not allowed him to focus on just breaking the contract but insisted on keeping the hunt going. Sam wanted to stop hunting for now and just keep searching on nothing but getting the information they needed to be rid of the contract. Time was moving so fast, what with researching for the hunts, hunting and then every other spare second left for the deal, that Sam had little time left for eating or sleeping. He was so exhausted, but the fear of losing his brother kept him going long after he would normally have succumbed to sleep.

So now he was going with his instincts in trying to find a book he had gotten some references to on the internet. Sam had spoken to Bobby about the book and he seemed to think it was realistic. The book would be hundreds of years old and there were only a few clues as to where it was likely to be. That was why Sam was now in an antique book shop. He had searched for the top most highly specialized ones. Finding jobs for them to do near these shops had not been difficult as there has been a rise in demonic activities recently. Lilith was a lot to blame for this as she was pushing for the top position much harder now. The contract was closer to being finished and when Dean was gone, Sam would be alone and vulnerable.

This was the fifth shop out of nine Sam was now going through. Everything he had read narrowed the search. The book was out waiting to be found by the right person. Sam was going to be that person - saving Dean's life and soul depended on it. Time was running against him, because the shops were very far apart. Sam had not told Dean about the book because he knew Dean would think it was foolish. However, Sam knew this was the answer. He had been in the shop for three and a half hours and barely scratched the surface of the huge piles of books throughout the store. The books were not categorized properly and were strewn about everywhere. Sam had Dean out on an information-gathering mission, so he could sneak in here to see if the book was here.

There were only five weeks left and four more shops to get to, which was going to be a huge task. It was about time the Winchester luck changed even for a few minutes. While he was thinking this, Sam had been checking book labels and almost lying on the floor, sneezing from the dust and with a large amount of dirt on his clothes. He would have to change out of those dust-covered clothes before Dean saw him. The books were very old and dusty and Sam was skimming through them, albeit still careful to register each and every title so as not to miss the book. He bypassed what seemed to be a bit of a gap in between the books, only to reach in and feel if a book was squeezed into the space. His hand found a smallish-sized book, which he has to struggle to pull free. After a few minutes, he was finally successful. As he wiped dust off the book, turning it over, his heart started to beat faster. Excitement rushed through him. This was it - THE SECRET BOOK OF DEMONIC RULES.
