Chapter 6: Sabrina and Salem
Dean removed Sam from his shoulder and held him close to his chest once again. He heard Sam give a chirp of surprise as he was plucked from his shoulder. He quietened down when he was placed back against Dean's chest. He remained in place as Sabrina walked towards the door. Her clock that she wore over her back and arms was so long that it dragged in the ground. He also noticed that she wore boots that were not unlike his own, boots that were designed for long walks and a lot of activity.
"Dean?" Sam asked from where he was being held against his chest. Dean looked down at his little brother to see a pair of hazel eyes looking up at him. He was still finding it strange to see his brothers eyes within the face of scales and feathers. And it was something that he was not wanting to always seen when he looked at his brother. Sam had tucked his tail into the crease of his arm and his small legs and arms were close to his body. His claws were also tucked in close to his body.
"What's up Sammy?" Dean asked as he followed Sabrina out of the room and into the corridor. His heavy boots clomping against the ground with every step that he took. "Are you okay? Your not hurt are you? I know your hungry but your not going to bite my neck are you?" Dean asked looking down at Sam. He frowned when Sam rolled onto his belly and wrapped his clawed hands around his arm. His tail then came to his arms.
Dean didn't think about what he was doing. His hand that was not supporting Sam rested on Sam's feathery head and ran it down all the way to the start of his tail. Sam grumbled something as he snuggled into Dean's arm. "What's going on, Sammy? And who is this Salem that you were fighting with before she de-aged you?" he asked. He couldn't help it when he scratched Sam's chin like one scratches a cat.
Sam moved his head away from Dean's hand with a whimper. "Can we trust her, Dean? I mean we don't know her at all! And Dean her partner was something that could easily defend itself! She only done this to me because I was close to hurting myself against that thing that I was fighting against!" Sam said. He managed to turn his head so that one of his eyes had locked onto Dean's face.
Dean ran one finger down Sam's head. "We can only trust her for just now, Sammy! We have no one to turn to until we have a way to get in touch with Bobby or Julian!" he replied. He didn't shout at Sam when he bite into his hand. The bite was not hard enough to draw blood but it was enough to know that Sam was getting annoyed at him. "Sorry Sam! But in your current condition we have little to go by but trust her!" he continued to speak to Sam. He kept a hand on Sam's back as his little brother snuggled into his arm.
Sam closed his eyes as he relaxed into his brothers hold. He gripped his claws into Dean's leather jacket as his tail tucked under his chin.
"We will find a way to turn you back to normal, Sammy!" Dean said to his brother as he feel asleep. "And we will kick that witches arse to the side for what she has done to you!" he vowed to Sam.
Hen ran one finger down Sam's head. "We can only trust her for just now, Sammy! We have no one to turn to until we have a way to get in touch with Bobby or Julian!" he replied. He didn't shout at Sam when he bite into his hand. The bite was not hard enough to draw blood but it was enough to know that Sam was getting annoyed at him. "Sorry Sam! But in your current condition we have little to go by but trust her!" he continued to speak to Sam. He kept a hand on Sam's back as his little brother snuggled into his arm.
Sam closed his eyes as he relaxed into his brothers hold. He gripped his claws into Dean's leather jacket as his tail tucked under his chin.
"We will find a way to turn you back to normal, Sammy!" Dean said to his brother as he feel asleep. "And we will kick that witches arse to the side for what she has done to you!" he vowed to Sam.
Dean had been so focused on Sam that he had forgotten about Sabrina. He walked into the woman who was about his age. Instantly he looked up to see her standing right in front of him. Her brown hair tied into a bun behind her head much like Hazel had done her hair the first time that they had meet her. That was before the brothers had been made aware that Hazel was Nightshade who had altered her human form so much that she would not be recognised. The black coat that she wore over her shoulders hid the clothes that she was wearing other than the leather boots that Dean could easily see. There was also the weapon belt that he knew was there but the blade and the crystal that she had used to power it were both out of sight.
He couldn't help but take a step back. His hand that was large enough to cover Sam was placed over his brother. He heard a sleepy chirp come from his brother that was not a concern. Sam had always been a light sleeper. Being a light sleeper was what helped Hunter to remain alive for years with all the things that bumped in the night. A second later Sam was going back to sleep.
Dean had noticed that with the end of the Apocalypse Haven and Hell no longer gunning for them had allowed Sam to get a lot more sleep than before. The addiction to the Demon Blood had also gone away which he was happy for. He had been over the moon when Julian had told him that Ruby had been torn apart by both Nightshade and Edward who had shown the demon no mercy what so ever.
The next thing he had been told was that all the demons and even the Angels who were still gunning for the end of the world to happen had been locked away in a prison. Julian had told them both was that they had been locked up in a prison that was designed, should they try to escape drop into the black hole that it was orbiting above. Dean had thought that it was overkill, but the Werewolf had told them that it was either that or be used by Nightshade in experiments or used as an energy source. According to Julian who was only repeating what he had been told by Nightshade, Angle Grace was one of the most powerful and cleanest energy sources in the universe. It was said that one Angle's Grace could power the whole planet for 5 centuries to 7 centuries of clean energy. That was enough for Dean to find interesting, but it was Sam who had asked all the geeky questions that only Nightshade could answer but she had headed for Egypt to track down something that could help the Avengers in taken out Seth.
Meeting Seth in person in Blithe Hallow had been something he was not prepared for. Sure in all of his life he dealt from everything from Demons right up to Angels. But seeing the Ancient Egyptian God who had freaked out both Gabriel and Castiel was enough for him to feel freaked out. Also Seth had been causing problems for the Avengers for the last couple of years.
He had read a report that Julian had left on his desk a few weeks ago that had said that Seth had been a problem for Captain America and Nightshade during the Second World War. There had also been an issue with Seth taken an interest in his little brother, and that was a big no-no in his book. Also in the report that Julian was working on or was readying over Dean had also learned the name of the poor sucker who Seth was wearing was a HYDRA agent called Thomas. The report didn't have a surname, well during the WW2 there had been a lot of soldiers who had fought and then vanished without a trace and it would have been hard for them to keep track of everyone with very primitive technology.
Dean was brought to the moment when he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. He shock his head as he got all the thoughts of Julian, Werewolves, Seth, the Elemental Guardians, Nightshade and aliens out of his head and looked to see Sabrina standing in front of him. She had a worried expression on her face that slightly melted away when the glassed expression in his eyes had gone away.
"Are you okay? You were zoned out there for a second!" Sabrina said. She had placed a smile on her face as she spoke with Dean. Her steel grey eyes stared into his green eyes as she waited for something to show on what he was thinking.
Dean removed his hand from Sam's back. He was safe that was all that mattered. There was no rouge Demons trying to take him from him. There was no Pagan God who had targeted all the Hunters and the Avengers. It was just him and Sam trying to find out where they were and to undo a witches curse that had turned Sam into a dinosaur. He shifted Sam so he was more comfortable as he slept on. Being transformed into a baby dinosaur would take a lot out of anyone even a seasoned Hunter like Sam. Thinking of that he looked at Sabrina with hardened eyes. The eyes that only a protective big brother could throw when his little brother was hurt or in danger.
"What's wrong?" Sabrina asked. She looked worried at Dean as if she was waiting for him to punch her or to drop the little raptor that he was holding in his arms. She took a step back when she saw the anger in the old brothers eyes.
Dean shifted a sleeping Sam closer to his body and faraway from Sabrina. His other hand covered Sam who was still sleeping. "How did you turn Sam into a baby raptor? How do you know about magic? Who are you really Sabrina?" Dean asked. He couldn't help but step towards her but he still kept his hand over his brother.
Sabrina stood her ground. Her steel grey eyes not leaving the man who stood tall in front of her. "My name is Sabina and I am one of the Enforcers who protects the Rainforest Distract in Jurassic World! My partner who is currently outside is called Salem and he is an Allosaurus, he to had been a human! In fact he is my younger brother who had been turned into an Allosaurus when we found ourselves in this world! I had always had the touch of magic when I was growing up so I turned Salem into a baby so that both of us could learn how to cope with one of us being a dinosaur!" she explained to Dean who was still glaring at her. "Coming here I found that my power had gotten stronger! I use that power to help the Enforcers as we keep the peace!" she finished explaining, but the man who stood before her was still glaring at her.
"You're a witch?!" Dean snapped. His free hand moved from where it was covering Sam to reach for his gun. He was about to reach for the gun Sabrina muttered a curse under her breathe which caused Dean to freeze before he could reach for his gun. "What are you doing? If you have hexed anyone I swear I will make you wish that you never pleaded to a Demon for your powers!" Dean snarled through clenched teeth. He felt squirming in his arm. Looking down he came eye to eye with Sam. His brother had woken up in seeing how distressed that he was. Sam's hazel eyes looked into his green eyes and he was surprised that he was managing to pull his famous puppy dog eyes at him.
Sabrina reached for Sam and with Dean frozen she picked up the small raptor. "Let him go! He is not going anywhere with you!" Dean shouted as he watched Sam struggle in Sabrina's hold.
Sabrina placed a hand on Sam's neck like one would do with a snake. Sam instantly frozen and Dean grunted as he couldn't help his brother. Sam's jaws were wide open allowing Dean a good view of his teeth and his tongue. "I will let you and your brother go if you will allow me to explain and get us to the Outpost before it turns to night!" she demanded. She kept her hand on Sam's neck as his hazel eyes refused to leave Dean.
"Okay just let him and me go!" Dean shouted back after a moment of silence. He felt his joints relax and he was able to move his arms and legs once again. He took a step forward and reached for Sam. He glared at Sabrina as she relished Sam's neck. Dean took his brother into his own hands. His thumbs rubbed the feathers on his back. He couldn't help but rub the soft scales on his belly. He brought Sam close to his chest again and his brother curled back up into the original sleeping position that he had been in.
Sabrina rubbed her forehead as a new headache formed in her head. "Every time!" she muttered. She couldn't help but reach for her blade when she noticed that Dean was a just a foot away from her. "Your a Hunter! Aren't you!" she hissed towards Dean. Her hand hovered above her blade that she had at her side.
"I am! Both of us are! Look like I said earlier on me and Sammy had been hunting a Voodoo Priestess who was breaking the Code! The Hunters have started to work with a group of supernatural creatures that call themselves-" he was stopped before he could finish as Sabrina had spoken up.
"The Elemental Guardians! I know who they are only by hearing them from other magic users!"
Dean could only stare at her. "Are we the only ones to not know about them?" he asked to Sam who was awaken from all the talking.
"Maybe because we were only focused first on stopping the Yellow Eyed Demon and then stopping the end of the world! But we don't need to worry about thanks to us basically walking into Julian's mission in Blithe Hallow and then keeping in touch with him as he worked with his team to stop the angels wanting to cause war on earth!" Sam replied. He shifted his position on Dean's arm that his head was resting on Dean's chest. He closed his eyes as Dean began to stroke his back and he couldn't help it when a purr escaped from deep within his throat.
Dean let his brother fall asleep into a light snooze in his arms. He watched as Sam's tail fell into his hand. He wrapped his fingers around the tail and found that it was fluffy with the feathers that covered his back and tail. "Always the smart one little brother!" he said smirking. Sam gave a chirp as his eyes just slightly opened as he confirmed what Dean was saying.
Sabrina cleared her throat. "We need to start making a move! We are wasting daylight standing here and I fear your brother is starting to lose the fight in not eating you!" she said with a smile on her face as she looked at the raptor in Dean's arms.
Dean followed Sabrina's gaze to see that Sam was biting into his leather jacket. He had to be glad that Sam's teeth were too small to go through the leather jacket and nip his flesh. Removing Sam from his arm he held him in one hand in a way so that both brothers were looking directly at each other. Sam's eyes kept moving away from Dean and but Dean always brought Sam's face back to him. "Sammy, are you in pain? If your in pain you need to tell me!" Dean ordered.
Sam brought his limbs closer to his body. Dean's hand was on his back with his fingers supporting his neck. He could fell Dean's fingers ruffling the feathers on his back and in a way it was soothing. He wrapped his tail around Dean's wrist. The feathers on it tickled the skin of Dean's wrists. "I'm nut hurt anywhere, Dean! I'm just hungry Dean! I have not had anything to eat for a full day and it is getting hard to fight it!" Sam whimpered. He tightened his tail that was wrapped around Dean's wrists.
Dean kept rubbing Sam's back as he looked towards Sabrina. "I take it you have food for this little beast? Or am I going to lose my only jacket?" he asked her. He still didn't trust her but they had very little things that they could do when they were there. He knew that they wouldn't get far, not with Sam as he is at the moment. Sabrina could take them to this Waterfall City and then they will take it from there. He could only hope from Waterfall Fall that could send a message back to Bobby for the older Hunter to get them back. Maybe when they get to Waterfall City and they are not on the run with the fear of Gordon reappearing they could pray for either Castiel or Gabriel. Maybe Gabriel as he was an Archangel and he would have a better chance at finding them and then getting them back to their world.
"I have meat for Salem back in my saddle bags! Lets just hope that he hasn't eaten it all! Salem is a massive black hole always has been and that was before he was transformed into an Allosaurus five years ago!" Sabrina replied. She turned around and started to walk down the rest of the corridor that would led them to the front door.
"Wait your brother was also turned into a dinosaur?" asked Dean as he followed Sabrina towards the front door of the building that they had taken refuge the night before. "How did that happen? Did one of your spells go wrong?" Dean asked.
Sabrina didn't look around at the brothers as they kept walking towards the door. The door was just within sight. The door that was on the ground allowed the two humans and human turned raptor to see a large scaly body prowling backwards and forwards. The sound of stomping feet was loud enough that Dean sucked in air through glanced teeth as he knew that they were walking towards another apex predator from the Jurassic Period. This predator was much larger than Sam even with him being full grown with him as a baby raptor he was so much smaller. He was about the size of a kitten. The perfect size for a snack for the giant monster that they were walking towards.
"I didn't turn Salem into an Allosaurus!" Sabrina spoke up a second later. She stopped walking and looked round at Dean. She noticed that he was holding his brother so much closer to his body than before know that they knew that they were walking towards an Allosaurus. "It was another young witch who done the spell! It was five years ago that we moved to New Orleans and we meet a young witch, but she preferred to be called a Voodoo Princess like her grandmother had been called all those years ago before the signing of the Code at the end of the Night Wars! But she didn't like that she wanted to use her powers for all to see, but the Code prevented her from doing that! Me and Salem along with Natasha went to a museum that was showing a whole lot of dinosaur bones. Thinking it was cool she used a spell that was to bring a dinosaur back, but she didn't know the full nature of the spell!" Sabrina explained as tears appeared in her eyes.
"What happened that night?" Dean asked stepping closer to Sabrina. He had a feeling that the Natasha that she was talking about was the same Natasha that they had been dealing with.
Tears kept streaming down her face as she remembered that night five years ago.
000ooo000
Five Years ago ...
Sabrina and a man the same age as her stood beside her as they looked at the museum that had opened up. Both of them had the same steel grey eyes but different colour hair. Sabrina had her brown her while the man had black hair that was gelled into a style that was his own. The rain kept battering down onto them and drenched them from head to toe. They didn't care about that. They had just moved to New Orleans and they had just been added to the Coven of witches who uses Voodoo Magic unlike the other Covens in the States that they had been to. This Coven was a strong supporter of the Code and they worked hard to obtain it.
Sabrina looked over at her twin brother. He was not gifted with magic like she and her father, but that didn't stop him. He always looked for a way to stay for them to be together, and Sabrina always worked to keep him in the loop. It may have been when she was learning something knew and wanted Salem to know about it as well as her. But it was mainly because they were Twins, they shared a strong bond. A bond that only twins could share.
"Are you sure about her, Sabrina?" Salem asks as they waited for the side door of the museum to open from the inside by Natasha who worked with the museum as a part time job as she studied to take her role as the new Voodoo Queen once her mother retired. She was starting to take more responses from her mother as started to hand the reins over to her. Both Twins had seen a change in their friend, sure they had only known her for a couple of weeks but there was large amount of changes that were happening with the young witch who was about to become the new leader of all the witches in New Orleans.
"Salem we have been through this before! Natasha and her family have welcomed us into their Coven on such short notice! The least we can do is to see what Nat as to say and what she wants to show us!" Sabrina replied. She looked at her twin brother. Her brown hair was stuck to her face from all the rain that was pouring down onto her and her brother. "You have no idea what it feels like to have another witch who is the same age as me! All the witches that we have meet have always been older or a lot younger than me!" she snapped back before she looked at the door as it slowly swung open.
Salem grabbed Sabrina's arm as she was about to make a run towards the now open door. "No I don't understand! You have to watch out she is changing and you know how quickly things can change! This Coven is to close to the Code that if she breaks it not only will she get the brunt of the wrath of the Guardians but she will also attract the attention of the Hunters! You remember the Hunters don't you?" Salem asked still keeping his hand on his Twin sisters arm. He had always been protective of her and that was not going to change on little bit.
Sabrina was able to yank her arm out of Salem's hand. "I am supporting my friend as she becomes the new Voodoo Queen of New Orleans! I am doing something that you have been doing all of our lives!" she replied as she placed her hand on Salem's shoulder.
"And what's that help you play pranks on Mum and Dad until they start pranking us for the rest of the week?" Salem responded. He put on a bored look that he only gave to Sabrina and no one else.
"You keep me human! And I will keep her human!" Sabrina responded as she walked towards the open door that would led her to see what Natasha wanted to show them. Natasha had told them that she had learned a new spell and she wanted to show that to them before she used that new power to empress the rest of the Coven. Natasha had said that she found it in an old book that had been given to her by a witch who passing through. He didn't say anything other than it will impress many people, and of course she wanted to share it with the Twins.
Salem couldn't help but smile as he followed Sabrina in.
It had been going on so well and that as quick as a second it all changed. One moment they stood side by side and then Salem was screaming in pain. The skeleton of the Allosaurus turned to dust and went right for the young Twin. The screams of pain only got louder as did the sounds of bones snapping and breaking as they took the new and permanent form of an Allosaurus.
In a matter of seconds Sabrina was looking at a young adult Allosaurus as he slightly towered above her. She reached her hand out to the snout of the giant dinosaur. When it lunged for her she muttered a spell that caused the Allosaurus to de-age. She picked up her brother and spun around to face Natasha. "What have you done?"
She didn't hear the response the other witch gave her as a blinding light blinded her eyes. The next thing she woke up to was she and a baby Allosaurus were lying in the middle of a jungle.
000ooo000oo00
Present day ...
"It's okay, Sabrina! Natasha fooled us all! We have no clue if she is doing the same to Julian and Bobby right this minute!" Dean responded after hearing Sabrina's story. "But I can tell you the Hunters and Guardians are closing in on Natasha! I am also sure that they are looking to see about finding a way to bring us home!" Dean continued to speak. His free hand, the hand that was not holding Sam, was placed on Sabrina's shoulder.
Sabrina smiled and without another word walked towards the front door with Dean following behind her. "Thanks! I do hope that the Elemental Guardians kick her in the arse!" Sabrina replied back to Dean as she walked out of the front door of the building.
Dean stopped dead when he came face to face with a full grown Allosaurus. The Allosaurus had dark green and blue scales all over its body. Unlike Sam it didn't have any feathers at all, but it had spikes running down its neck and its tail. On its head and chest was a piece of armour that protected the brain along with the beating heart that was inside of that huge chest cavity. Dean had thought Sam's jaws were horrible the first time he had seen him and then the first time he had woke up to see the jaws close to his face had been scary. This however was terrifying, and Dean couldn't help but bring Sam closer to his chest. He didn't hear Sam asking for his name, he was to focused on the giant meat eating Dinosaur that could easily swallow him whole. The teeth were huge and were stained red from blood from whatever creature he had hunted.
He spotted Sabrina walking towards the giant scaly monster without any worry at all. She walked up to it. Without any words the Allosaurus lowered itself much like a camel done for its rider and allowed her to climb onto a saddle that was attached to its back. Dean could only stare as he watched Sabrina sit down on the saddle and reach for a bag on the saddle. He was just staring at the Allosaurus that he didn't hear Sabrina shouting at him or Salem speaking to her.
Then the Allosaurus was right in his face. It snorted and Dean smelt it bad breathe, it wasn't like that the dinosaur was going to brush their teeth. Dean jumped back and stared at the steel grey eyes that looked down at him.
"I think he is broken, Sabrina!" Salem muttered as he manoeuvred his body so that Dean could sit on the saddle behind Sabrina. "Me and the raptor were having a good talk before you babyfied him! I think you have a thing for doing that!" Salem muttered as he watched Sabrina using her magic to move Dean's body onto the saddle behind her.
Sabrina made sure that the stunned Dean was secure before she gave Salem a good kick with her heal. "Look I didn't want him to get hurt, or you! He was clumsy and was going to get himself hurt! It was the best thing I can do and it allows them both the adapt like how we done so!" Sabrina defended herself.
Salem grunted as he started walking. "I hope you know what you are doing, Sis!" Salem said over his shoulder as he walked towards the closest Outpost. It would take him a good couple of hours to get to the Outpost.
"I always know what I am doing little brother!" Sabrina replied to her brother. She looked over her shoulder to see Dean fumbling about with the leather bag that she had just handed him. She couldn't help but smile at the sight. Dean a Hunter who had hunted everything from Ghouls to Vampires and yet dealing with dead rabbits and chicks was causing his to take second thoughts. "You need a hand?" she asked.
Dean's head snapped up towards her as Sam dropped down to his leg as Dean fumbled about with the leather bag that held a few meat snacks that Sabrina carried with her if she and Salem meet up with a young predator dinosaur. "No I'm okay, just not use to seeing a dead rabbit or a little chicken like this before!" he replied. He looked down at Sam. "How hungry are you?" he asked Sam as his brother lay down on his leg.
"Give him the chicken first, Dean! The rabbit is a bigger meal and he is still getting use to the change in his body!" Sabrina ordered Dean. She let out a chuckle at the glare that Dean was throwing her. He reached into the leather bag and brought out a dead chicken. Its dead beady eyes just stared towards him and Dean felt kinda bad for the little bird.
Dean looked towards his brother. Sam's hazel eyes were locked onto the chicken that was in his hands, and Dean didn't miss the look of disgust that his brother was given the chicken. He looked back at Dean still with a bitch face and then back at the dead chicken that he was holding.
Sam dropped the bitch face as he took a hesitant step forward and towards the dead chicken. Opening his jaws slowly he took the chicken out of Dean's hand. With his forelimbs he held it as he dropped down further onto Dean's leg. He looked up at his brother who didn't say anything, but was looking at him with worry. Looking back at the chicken Sam bite into it. His teeth and claws that were designed for this tore into the chicken with little effort.
After the first bite, Sam was lost to the world. He wanted to eat it as quickly as possible. He didn't register that Dean and Sabrina were talking to each other. He also didn't notice Dean's hand on his back.
