Part 2

An hour later they were packed and on the road. Dean was very quiet while driving. His thoughts on his last time they were in Lawrence and seeing his mother again. She had sacrificed herself to save them and now she was gone for good. He felt like he had lost her for a second time. The one good thing out of this though was that Sam finally got to meet his mother. For that, Dean was thankful. He looked over at Sam who was fast asleep in the passenger seat and smiled. He had so little in this world that he could call his own and Sam definitely made the top of the list. Dean would do anything for his brother and Sam knew it. He would often use those big puppy dog eyes he had to bend Dean to his will. It had been that way since they were little. He knew when he was being played but when it came to Sam he did not care as long as his baby brother was happy.

A few hours into the drive his vision started to blur a little from being tired. He thought of waking Sam up to drive but decided against it he was out cold. He decided to pull over and catch a quick nap before continuing.

Sam on the other hand was back with the demon again. "Hello Sam, did you miss me?" The demon asked.

"Not really." Sam replied trying his best to act casual.

"So have you thought more about our last conversation Sammy?"

"Yeah, actually. What do you mean our father made sure he would forget?" Sam asked.

"All in good time Samuel, all in good time. You both have been so elusive with me all these years. Your father trained you well. But the time has come now to claim what is mine." The Demon said smiling.

Sam swallowed the lump that was now forming in his throat. "And what is that exactly?" Sam inquired.

"Why Sammy, why do you find it necessay to ask questions you already know the answers too. Do you really think I am that stupid that you can play games with me boy?" The Demon sneered getting in Sam's face. Sam winced. "I am taking what should have been mine so many years ago." The demon said turning and walking away. He turned to face Sam again a smile slowly forming on his lips. "Why, I am taking my boys back." He laughed and with a flick of his hand Sam jumped awake in the car. Looking around he noticed they were not moving and that Dean asleep in the drivers seat. Sam slowly let out his breath. Why the hell did he not wake me to drive He thought for a moment but knew Dean was again just trying to look out for him. He loved his brother but sometimes Dean treated him like he was 5 and Sam allowed it though because he knew him being here meant everything to Dean. When Dean was in a coma after the accident he and his dad had a heart to heart. His dad told him how crushed Dean was when he left for school. He did not understand how Sam could just leave him like that. He walked around for days looking like a little boy who had just lost his puppy. It was then that the walls went up around Dean and no one not even their father was ever let in again. He never really thought about all that Dean had lost and given up in his life until that encounter with the shape shifter. He had told Sam things Dean never would have. "He had felt abandoned by the 3 most important and only people in his life, mom, dad and me." He thought as he watched the steady rise and fall of Dean's chest. "Then the Demon telling him that he needed us more than we needed him." His heart broke then and he vowed he would make up for it.

Sam looked over at his brother and gently nudged him. Dean snorted and woke up. Sam laughed. "Why don't we switch places Sleeping Beauty and I'll drive for awhile?" Mumbling something half asleep, Dean climbed over in the backseat and before Sam even pulled back onto the highway he could hear his brothers soft snores. Sam thought about what the Demon had said and looked at his brother curled up asleep in the back seat. He looked like a child while he slept Sam thought to himself smiling. Looking forward to arriving at Missouri's house to tell her about his dreams, Sam sped up. "She'll know what to do", he thought. "I hope."

Missouri paced back and forth for the last hour trying to make sense of her visions. The boys were in trouble of that she knew. What she did not understand is why Dean was the center of it all. He was in grave danger and she would not allow for him to be harmed in any way possible. That boy had been through enough loss and torture to last a lifetime. She sensed it so much when they last met. Her heart went out to him. He felt so lost and alone. It was no wonder the boy kept his defenses up. She had wondered though why he did it around Sam. You could see by the way he kept his eyes on his younger brother that he loved him more than life itself. He was so protective of Sam. She honestly believed he would kill anyone or anything that dared to try to harm his brother. You could also tell by looking at Sam that Dean was the center of his world. To Sam, Dean was his father, protector, & savior. Too much responsibility for one child to handle. That John Winchester she thought angrily, I could just smack you. Those boys needed a father not a drill sergeant. She knew he loved his kids but he was constantly putting them in the line of fire by seeking revenge for their mother's death. She also knew that Dean received the brunt of it being the oldest. He looked and acted so much like his mother. She smiled a smile that quickly disappeared. She also knew that John could not stand to look at him because of it, that poor, poor boy.

She also knew Sammy was having visions of his own and would figure out sooner or later what they had done so many years ago. Now, she wondered if it was the right thing. "Well, I will worry about that when the time comes." She thought as she headed to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee knowing this was going to be a long night.

Curled up in the backseat, Dean was having a dream of his own. He was 4 again and playing in his room with the man. They were playing Chutes & Ladders. The man was smiling and talking softly as they played. He was a nice man and came every time he called. He played a lot of games with him and made up for the gap when his dad was not around. He was also teaching him to do all sorts of tricks to do just by thinking about them. He liked everything about the man except for his eyes they glowed yellow. They always penetrated his like they knew this deep dark secret about him. With that Dean startled awake and jumped up crying out causing Sam to jump as well.

"Christ! Are you O.K. Dean?" Sam asked startled. "You scared the living hell out of me."

"Huh, yeah. Sorry. " Dean said his mind still trying to comprehend the nightmare. "Just a bad dream is all. How close are we now?

"About 5 minutes." Sam replied trying not to show the worry in his voice as he asked, "Do you want to talk about it?"

"I honestly don't remember much." Dean said. "I was little, maybe around 4 and playing in my room in Lawrence. I think the demon was there."

Sam felt a cold shiver run up his spine. "The Demon? Dean, you were playing games with the Demon?"

"Dude calm down it was just a stupid dream, but boy did it feel real." Dean said yawning. A few minutes later, they pulled into Missouri's driveway. " Home sweet home." Dean mumbled under his breath as he got out of the car.

Missouri came out and greeted them on the porch smiling. "Well boys, long time no see." She said, giving them each a big hug.

Curiously she looked at Dean. Sam couldn't help but wonder if she knew. Dean watched as they exchanged looks and sighed. "Great, looks like I'm the odd man out again", and walked ahead of them into the house leaving them to stand there watching him.

Missouri sadly watched him go in before whispering, "I really wish that were true baby, I really wish that were true." Sam looked at her wide-eyed and for the first time in his life he felt truly terrified for Dean.

Once in the house Missouri asked them if they would like some coffee. "Yes please." They said in unison.

When they had their mugs in hand and were sitting around the table
Dean decided to dive right in. "So, what's up? Why did you call us back here? Does it have anything to do with our old house?"

Missouri looked at him and then Sam, realizing that Sam has not told Dean about his visions. "Why don't we get some breakfast boys and then we can sit down and talk. I have set up the guest rooms upstairs. Dean, why don't you go get both of your belongings while Sam helps me with the breakfast." Dean looked at her for a moment. "Well what are you waiting for boy? Those bags are not going to get themselves." Missouri said. Looking squarely at him she said. "You keep that up and I will be washing your mouth out with soap."

Dean looked at her surprised and walked out of the house. "Damn it why does Sam always get it easy?" he said under his breath.

Sam laughed. "You do ride him hard."

"If there is one person who needs guidance it's your brother, Sam." Missouri stated rather matter of factly. "He's like a lost little boy." Sam nodded sadly knowing exactly what she meant.

Dean was at the trunk of the car reaching in to get their belongings and he heard the laughter. He jumped up startled hitting his head on the roof of the trunk. "Shit!" He yelled in pain rubbing his head. He looked around to see no one was there. Turning back to the trunk, he heard a voice he all to recognized. "Soon my son soon." Followed by more laughter. Dean gasped grabbing his head in pain as the laughter echoed through it. He slowly started backing away from the car.

Sam and Missouri were in the kitchen preparing eggs and bacon when she grabbed the counter feeling lightheaded. Sam grabbed her and before he could say or do anything she blurted, "Dean needs you! Now boy go!" Sam let her go and ran for the door.

Sam opened the front door to see Dean backing away from the car his head in his hands and ran up to him. A look of pure terror and shock was on Dean's face. "Dean, Dean what happened? Are you alright?"

Dean looked up at Sam and said in a voice so low that Sam barely heard him. 'It' found us." And passed out.
