Sam Winchester knew something was wrong, but then again when you're 6 month old you really can't talk to anybody, or search for whatever is giving you the heebie jeebies. All you could do was cry until somebody came to get you…or have whatever is after you hear you, and really come after you. But then again Sam didn't know that, so he kept crying. Finally the a familiar face came into view ,and Sam couldn't help but smile at it but still that feeling was still their, but then again the big man was here so Sam doubted whatever was bad would be around for long. But there was something wrong, about the eyes.

Dean remembered that night that his mother died. and Sammy went missing, it was fresh in his mind and probably would always be. Tonight was also a night that forever would be burned into his head, because tonight was the night he was taken by one of the monsters that his daddy hunted.

All had been going well but soon it seemed like every childish prank Dean could pull, was pulled on John. Of course Dean begged his father to see the truth, that somehow somebody else was doing these things to him. They had been funny at first, and even John didn't really yell at Dean, but then some of them had been dangerous and then while in the middle of chewing Dean out his father just stopped. Like a switch had been flipped, John smiled and then hugged the terrified and confused Dean.

He began to mutter, and curse, then he called a man Dean knew as Uncle Bobby, luckily for them Bobby had been nearby and so Bobby could watch Dean while John hunted for the bastard.

The problem with this was the trickster, as Dean's father called it, had one thing on his mind getting the kid. Because what none of them knew was that the trickster had been following them for a while, and had kept close to the family of two since a few towns back.

The trickster had seen the way John had treated Dean, and hated it. With a ferocity that was beyond anything, one could say like a that of a wild animal. Dean was so young, but John treated him like a soldier, and slowly the kid was growing up too fast. Too soon he would be following Johns order to the teeth, and be a killing machine. A monster killing machine on top of that, and the Trickster couldn't help it he just had to save the kid. And well yes, maybe save some monster he knew that weren't too bad.

So with the plan set, and Bobby and Dean in the hotel room, and John off and ready to kill the Trickster the plan was sprung.
