Part 2: A Secret Past II
It felt as if his bones were being crushed by a sledge hammer; all he could feel was the searing pain that left him unconscious after minutes. He could hear screams in the distance but he did not know if it was them or just his imagination. The smell of his blood and theirs made him sick it was chocking the air around him. Pogue opened his eyes fighting against the dark but as the next blow hit him he let go and welcomed the cold darkness, anything was better than this.
Reading Pennsylvania
The old black 1967 Chevy Impala drove down the road smoothly navigating the winding curves of Reading with ease as Metallica pumped through the old speakers. Neither of the brothers was interested in talking, Dean was too pissed at Sammy to even try.
A buzzing broke the deafening silence. Dean reached into his pocket keeping one hand on the wheel as he pulled out his cell phone, Whitman, flashing across the screen. "That's odd." Dean muttered.
"What?"
"One of the Whitman's is calling." Dean said flipping his phone open. "Hello." He said pulling off to the side of the road. Dean listened as the voice of Alex Whitman babbled through the other end of the phone.
"Whoa Alex slow down and start over." Dean instructed looking at his brother. "Now what happened to Liz?" Dean rolled his eyes as Alex babbled something at him. "Yes I am alive Alex. Now what happened to Liz?" He asked again and Sam chuckled hearing Alex's hysterics. "Alex!" Dean yelled making Sam laugh louder. "What happened to Liz?"
Sam watched as Dean's face grew more and more pinched and his hazel eyes widened. It left a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, it took a hell of a lot to scare his brother and right now Dean looked scared. The last time he had seen Dean like this Lilith was there to kill him.
"Are you shitting me?" Dean asked his hand moving to the bridge of his nose as he sucked in a deep breath. "Damn I am heading there now. Get to Ipswich as soon as you can Alex. Do not go anywhere near there alone you hear me?" Dean asked. "See you soon." Dean barked closing the phone and his eyes in the process.
"Dean?"
"Skyler Hill is active and it has Liz, Pogue, and Reid." Dean whispered putting the car into drive again before he did a U turn and headed towards Ipswich.
"You're kidding." Sam breathed.
"I wish." Dean growled. "They found her journal and it told this Michael guy to call me."
"Liz knew you were alive?" Sam asked surprised.
"Why does this surprise you Sammy? Liz seems to know this kind of stuff." Dean whispered.
"How long has she been missing?" Sam asked pulling out their father's journal as he started to take notes.
"At least a day. According to Alex she was showing strange symptoms for a month two of their friends were the ones to notice."
"Why the hell didn't Liz say anything?" Sam groaned rubbing his forehead.
"Knowing Liz she probably did."
"Who?" Sam asked.
"The one person she trusts most in this world, Pogue." Dean said and Sam nodded flipping the journal closed.
"Makes sense, call the one person who would be experiencing it just like you."
"What did dad's journal say?" Dean asked.
"Nothing that we didn't already know; Skyler Hill Sanitarium has been paranormally charged from the start, many hunters believe it has something to do with the Covenant and their past. Since closing down it has had two major sparks one over twenty years ago when our parents all first met and then again eight years ago apparently that one was the worst." Sam said.
"Eight years ago Liz would have been nine."
Sam nodded "And Pogue and Reid were ten. According to dad's records the kids had been having problems sleeping for weeks before they went missing. Liz had mysterious cuts all over her body and Pogue was battered. Reid though was the worst with random burns appearing on his skin." Dean froze at those words images of the pale blonde coming to him.
"His back." Dean breathed and Sam nodded. "Son of a bitch."
"Dad had a theory as to why the ghosts went after the kids instead of the parents." Sam said. "The first time around it was all about the ghosts getting revenge and since Nancy, her brother Paul, and Ryan Garwin were the only living members of the Parry and Garwin lines the ghosts went after them. The second time around they went after the kids."
"What better way to torture a family then to go after their children and last hope for carrying on the lines." Dean said.
"Right. See dad had another theory. Going after Liz never made sense since she and Nancy have no powers but dad thinks that if something were to happen to Pogue the responsibility of carrying on the Parry line would fall to Liz and her son would be the new heir to the Covenant."
Dean rubbed his forehead a tension headache building, "They were going to kill the possibility of those two lines continuing all together." Sam nodded at his brother.
Sam licked his lips knowing that it needed to be said, "Dean if anything happens to the three of them you know that the shit is going to hit the fan. Those two lines are major forces in our world."
"Somehow I get the feeling that whoever woke the damn place up was counting on that." Dean mumbled pressing his foot down on the gas pedal, they needed to get to Ipswich fast before time ran out.
Roswell
Alex flipped his phone shut and ran a hand through his hair trying not to get sick. "Alex?" Maria asked hugging closer to Kyle.
"Dean is alive." He whispered his eyes staring blankly at the wall in front of him. "Dean Winchester is alive. I just spoke to him on the phone."
"Dude that is not possible we got the call from Sam ourselves." Kyle growled.
"It was him Kyle I swear he told us to head to Ipswich with our parents and not to go near Skyler Hill alone but with more swearing." Alex said.
"Sure sounds like Dean." Maria admitted.
"When are we leaving?" Maria asked.
"I have to check with my dad but I am assuming we are leaving right when I get back." Alex said pulling out his phone to make another call he stepped into the kitchen so he would not bother the others.
"I want to go with you." Michael said as Maria turned in Kyle's arms to look at him. The two humans seemed apprehensive. "Liz is my friend and has always been there for me, I am not about to let her down now." Michael said.
"I want to go too." Tess said biting her lip, "It would feel wrong not to go."
"My dad wouldn't mind taking you along with us." Kyle said.
Max let out a sad laugh as he stared at his friends, "I am going as well I am not going to let anything happen to Liz."
"Well if you all are going…" Isabel said.
"Isabel this is dangerous." Maria said, "If you don't want to go you don't have to because chances are we are going to get into the thick of it real fast and it is going to get messy."
Isabel looked at the others and saw the firm determination in them and knew that her decision was made. "I want to go, I owe it to Liz."
Skyler Hill Sanitarium
A horse groan brought him back to the world of the living. The room was darker then before letting him know that it was night, he had been there for two days now. He rolled onto his side and immediately the burning pain raced through him the horrible roar of pain that left his throat surprised him.
"Stay still." A familiar voice croaked and he did moving his head only slightly in the direction of the voice.
He squinted his eyes against the harsh darkness and saw her sitting there huddled in the corner. "Liz." He croaked.
"Yeah." She whispered moving slightly as the moonlight illuminated her small pale form.
"Oh god." He croaked when he saw her tiny shape battered to an almost unrecognizable state. Deep slices marred her skin and caked on blood left her olive skin barely visible. The deep cut across her face had him worried; blood still freshly weeping from the wound. "Liz." He tried to move towards her when pain slammed through him again and another terrible moan left him.
"Stay still Reid!" She cried shaking now. "You can't move it will make it worse."
Reid was going to try and move again when he felt the frighteningly familiar cold seep into the room. "Close your eyes Reid." Liz whispered and he shook his head his blue eyes never leaving her. "Do it Reid."
"No." He croaked as his breath visibly left his mouth. Before he could react he saw a silver blade strike through the air and slash through Liz. She didn't move for a second when a wail rivaling any he had ever heard left her as a large slice appeared across her chest blood running down her.
"Ah!" She cried slamming into the wall clutching her head clawing at an unseen force as her petite frame started to struggle up the wall off her feet as if someone was dragging her along, a trail of red following her.
"Liz!" He screamed as she suddenly fell with a loud smack. A loud cackle sounded from inside the room as if the thing was right by his ear, he could have sworn he felt them breathing on him. Reid watched waiting for her to move but she remained still and fear griped him tighter. "Liz!"
