A/N: Hello all, Here's the next chap. So read and enjoy and if you really like it tell me.
The next couple of weeks were spent at Bobby's. No one was really the same after John died. Dean spent most of this time fixing the impala. Sam mostly kept his head in a book, trying to track yellow eyes. And Katie was just there, not sure, how she could help. She could see that they were sad and hurting and neither would show it. She only knew John for a short time but she was sad that she didn't have more time to get to know him.
Katie sat on the porch watching Dean work on the impala. She thought so many times to just go over there and talk to him, but she didn't know where she would begin. She began thinking about what happened before John died. Dean Winchester asked her to marry him, he hadn't said anything about it since then. But she couldn't help thinking about it sometimes.
Dean felt someone watching him and he turned to see Katie sitting on the porch. He gave her a small smile and she smiled back. He knew she wanted to be there for him, but now all he wanted to do was fix his baby. So he turned and went back under the hood and continued to work.
Katie decided enough was enough and got up and walked over to Dean.
"Hey" She said standing behind him. He stood up straight and turned to look at her.
"Hey" he replied not sure what he should say.
"Dean how much longer are we going to do this" Katie said looking up into his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Dean asked grabbing his beer and taking a sip.
"This Dean. How much longer are we going to be here not dealing with- " Katie began but could finish.
"Look I'm fine with how things are and I have nothing that I have to deal with" Dean said turning back to work on his car.
"Dean don't do that I'm talking to you. Will you stop fixing that car for one minute" Katie said grabbing Dean's are and turning him to face her.
"And do what? What do you want me to say?" Dean said looking back at her.
"Anything Dean. Yell, scream, do something, but keeping all of it on the inside will not help anything, " Katie said trying to get through to him.
"I'm fine" Dean said and turned back to work on the impala. Katie looked at him for a minute and rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to go for a walk, I'll be back soon" Katie said to Dean's back. He just gave a nod of acknowledgment and she walked away. Dean stood up and watched as she left. He didn't mean to be this way, especially to her but Winchester's don't talk about their feelings. He sighed, then reached in his pocket and pulled out the engagement ring he almost gave to Katie before his died.
"You keep this up and she'll leave you before you can ask her again" Dean said to himself before putting the ring back in his pocket before feeling a slap to the back of his head. He turned to see Bobby standing behind him.
"You are an idjit boy" Bobby said looking sternly at Dean.
"What was that for" Dean asked still rubbing the back of his head.
"The way you been treating that girl these past couple weeks when all she been tryna do is help you" Bobby said.
"No offense Bobby but me and Katie have nothing to do with you" Dean said turning to work on his car.
"Yeah and when you loose her she won't have nothing to do with you either" Bobby said before walking over and getting in his truck and pulling off.
Katie continued to walk, watching the cars go by. She had so much on her mind right now that she just wanted to scream.
"How do I fix this?" Katie thought to herself as she walked. There was John dying and Dean and Sam closing themselves off from the world and not to forget Sam and his visions, which Katie believed without a doubt were so not good. She thought about talking to him about it, but there was never a right time. She couldn't help but think about what yellow eyes told her and what that could mean for all of their futures.
Katie walked and walked before realizing how late it was getting. When you're mad you can walk farther than you think. The sound of thunder rumbled across the sky.
"Crap I'm going to be soak by the time I make it to Bobby's" Katie said to herself. She then reached in her pocket to call Dean. Maybe Bobby had a car running he could use to come pick her up. When Katie looked at her phone the battery was near ending.
"Crap" katie said to herself. With everything that has been going on it must have slipped her mind to charge her phone. Katie then started looking around. She had walked so far that there weren't any houses around. She looked up the road and saw what looked like a house. Katie walked up to it.
"Ok creepy house in the middle of nowhere. Maybe I could make it back to Bobby's" Katie said turning to walk away when rain started falling heavily.
"Damn it" Katie said turning back around to face the creepy door. She walked up and was about the ring the doorbell when she heard a faint noise that sounded like crying. She looked around to see where the sound could be coming from, when she noticed a small basement window. Katie walked over and knelt down to check it out. She wiped the water off the window and squinted her eyes to see inside. She saw a young woman chained against the wall. The woman noticed Katie and tried to scream, but her mouth was bound so it came out muffled. Katie snapped out of her shock and stood up but before she could do anything she was knocked unconscious.
Dean had cover the impala with a tarp before running back to the house. He ran to the door but stopped and looked around to see if he saw Katie coming.
"Hey what's up" Sam asked looking at the worried expression on his face.
"Katie. She's not back yet and she left…. About an hour ago" Dean said looking at his watch. He knew she was upset from their fight, but it was not like her not too call. He took out his cell phone and decided to just call her.
"Hello you've called and I'm not answering, what does that tell you" Was all he heard. Dean just looked at the phone. He was starting to get a real bad feeling.
"She pick up?" Sam asked starting to worry to.
"No" Dean said looking from his phone to Sam. Just then they heard the rumble of an engine. They both ran to the door to see who it was, but they were disappointed to see that it was only Bobby.
"What's wrong?" Bobby said looking at the boys as he walked up the porch.
"Katie's not here and she's not picking up her phone" Dean said as they walked back into the house.
"Well I'm sure she's fine. She probably just waiting out somewhere until this storm is over" Bobby said looking at a clearly worried Dean.
"Well I wanna know she's fine, let get the keys to your truck" Dean said holding out his hands.
'Dean its really bad out there, I could barely see out there" Bobby said looking at Dean.
"Bobby's right Dean it's too dangerous to go out there right now" Sam said walking over to stand beside Dean.
" I don't care how dangerous it is Sam. Something doesn't feel right and I'm not just gonna sit here and wait out the storm and hope she comes back. Bobby the keys" Dean said looking back at Bobby holding out his hand.
Bobby knew there was no reasoning with Dean right now. He knew he loved that girl, he guessed he didn't know how much. Bobby just reached in his pocket and handed Dean the Keys to the truck.
"Fine but I'm coming with you" Sam said grabbing his jacket.
"You boys call me when you find her alright" Bobby said before Sam and Dean headed back out into the storm.
Katie found herself in a haze as she started to come through. The first thing she noticed was the awful smell. It smelled like rotting meat. Her stomach started turning. She was still soaking wet from the rain and she was freezing.
"Crap why do I always end up in these situations" Katie said before noticing that her hand and legs were chained to the wall. She started pulling at the chains and they wouldn't budge. She looked around the dark room when she heard the faint sound of someone whimpering.
"Hello is someone there?" Katie called out into the darkness. It was silent for a moment before someone replied.
"Shss if they hear us they're gonna come down" a woman's voice said in the darkness.
"Whose gonna come down?" Katie asked to the woman
"The… They're monsters" The woman said before the sound of footsteps came down the stairs.
Whoever was coming downstairs pulled a light switch and the small light illuminated the faces the woman called monster. And with one look of their faces Katie could see why.
"Looky who woke up, you know now that I look at you , you are real pretty" one of the grotesque men said touching Katie's face.
"I wish I could say the same" Katie said looking at the man, trying so hard not to throw up. The man slapped her for her comment.
"So what are you doing here?" the other man asked
"You see I was looking to borrow some sugar and if you didn't have any that's all you had to day" Katie said before getting another slap.
"You're a fistey one aren't you" the grotesque man said
"You have no idea" Katie said looking back at him.
"Oh this is going to be fun. I'm Charlie and him over there, that's Huff. We're gonna go for a bit darlings, but when we come back, we're going to have ourselves a party" the other man said before turning the light back off and heading upstairs. As soon as the coast was clear, without hesitation Katie recited a spell.
"Chains that bind me to this wall, unlock now and do not stall" Katie recited but nothing happened. She looked confused and recited the spell three more times but nothing happened, the chains didn't budge.
Katie looked at the ceiling in the dark room.
"You bastards" Katie said figuring that her lack of magic was the work of those pesky angels. She looked around the dark room, head still pounding from the hit earlier. She was starting to get worried.
"Ok Katie don't worry. Dean will find you. He has to" Katie said looking around the room. She figured she try to understand what was happening.
"Hey what's your name?" Katie asked the woman, she still hadn't seen.
"La- Lauren" The woman said in a shaky voice.
"Hi I'm Katie. I need you to know that I'm going to try and figure out a way out of here" Katie said hoping she was reassuring the girl.
"It's no use. They're gonna kill us just like they did the other" the woman said.
"Others? How many have their been?" Katie asked the woman in the darkness.
" Four? Five? I started losing count" the woman said.
"But there have been no reports of missing woman on the news" Katie said trying to think.
"That's because they get the girls no one will miss, the one's nobody will go looking for" the women said tears starting to fall.
"Well they messed up this time, because someone will come looking for me and God help those bastards when Dean gets his hands on them." Katie said closing her eyes and picturing Dean's rescue. This calmed her down, she knew he was coming or at least she hoped. He had been working on the impala, maybe he was still working on it, even in the rain . Maybe he isn't even had a second thought about her since she left.
"No don't think like that Katie. He's coming…. I hope" Katie thought to herself as she looked around the dark room.
"C'mon Dean its ridiculous out here, I can barely see in front of the truck" Sam said looking out the window at the rapidly falling rain.
Dean didn't respond, he just kept his eyes wide looking for any sign of Katie.
"Dean we're gonna have an accident, just turn around and head back to Bobby's" Sam said looking at Dean who seemed like he wasn't even listening to him.
"Look Sam if all you were gonna do is bitch and moan then you could've stayed with Bobby. I'm not going back until I find her, so shut up and keep your eyes open" Dean snapped not taking his eyes off the road.
Sam just sighed out of frustration and turned and looking out the window. He just hoped he and Dean didn't die trying to look for Katie.
"I think I see a place up ahead" Dean said driving in the direction of the first house he's seen in miles.
As Katie and Lauren sat in quietness Katie tried to think of ways to get out of the chains without her powers. She cursed her self for being so reliant on them but she couldn't think about that now, she had to figure out a plan if Dean didn't come. She pulled at the chains on her wrists, but they wouldn't budge from the wall. She then pulled at the chain around her ankles and felt them bulge a little out of the wall.
"Yes" Katie said to herself as she began to pull the chains as hard as she could. She could feel the strain of pulling causing her ankles to bleed, but she fought through it and continues to pull. She quickly stopped when she heard footsteps up stairs above her.
"They're back" Lauren whispered, fear clearly in her voice.
"Don't worry. We're gonna get out of here, I promise" Katie whispered back the frightened woman.
A few moments later the sound of foot steps coming down the stairs could be heard and Katie continued pulling the chains subtly.
"Darlings, we're back" Charlie said walking over and pulling on the light switch. He was carrying a bag but Katie couldn't see what was inside it.
"What's in the bag?" Katie said watching as Charlie sat it down on a table.
"Oh just some goodies me and Huff here got at the store" Charlie said smiling looking in the bag. Katie swallowed nervously then looked at Huff who was staring at her.
"What are you staring at?" Katie snapped before Huff came running at her with a knife and placed it right on her throat. Katie was still and looked him right in his eyes and she felt the cold metal on her throat.
"You're not gonna do it are you?" Katie said a grin coming to her face. She could see Huff getting angrier with every word. Charlie had come over and began pulling Huff away from her.
"C'mon Huff there'll be enough time for that later" Charlie said when he'd pulled Huff a good distance from Katie.
Katie continued pulling the chains. With every excruciating pull the chains loosen. She turned her attention to Charlie who went back to the bag. He pulled out a dress. It was a cheap looking red dress.
"We gotta get you ladies dressed for the party. Who wants the red one? How about you Lauran" Charlie said walking over by Lauren and pulling at her clothes causing her to start crying.
"NO! I'll wear it. Me! just bring it over here" Katie yelled causing Charlie to walk toward her.
"If you say so" Charlie said grinning at her. He walked over and started pulling on her clothes.
"Wait" Katie said. " You have to take these chains off to get that dress on" Katie said hoping he would take the bait.
"You're right, but I know what you're thinking. I take the chain's off and you push me and runaway. Don't worry we've thought about this. Oh Huff" Charlie said turning back toward Huff who took out a gun and pointed it toward Katie.
"You see I'm going to undo these chain, but you do anything Huff over there doesn't like and bang, one right above the eyes, got it?" Charlie said and Katie nodded in agreement.
Charlie reached in his pocket and pulled out some keys. He reached down and unlocked the chains around Katie's wrists. Katie kept her eyes on Huff who hadn't budged with the gun pointed at her.
"Wait!" Katie yelled as Charlie was about to unlock the chains around her wrists.
"What is it?" he asked staring down at her.
"Uh I saw something outside that window" Katie said looking up at the window.
"Nice try, but I'm not as dumb as I look" Charlie said about to unchain Katie's legs when they heard the sound of car doors closing. Charlie and Huff shared a look of concern.
"Huff stay down here and keep them quiet, I'm going to go up and check it out" Charlie said before putting the chains back on Katie's wrists and bolting upstairs.
Huff walked over to the bag and pulled out some duct tape. Katie looked at him and figured out what he was about to do.
"HELP!" Katie screamed as loud as she could, but Huff was there in an instant to tape her mouth shut.
Lauren began crying and was about to start yelling when Huff taped her mouth shut as well, before flicking the light off. They all just sat in darkness waiting.
Katie just hoped whoever had come was Dean and He would find her.
Sam and Dean walked up to the house. The lights weren't on but they knocked anyway.
"Dean I don't think anyone home" Sam said peeking through the window when all of a sudden a man, a fugly man to say the least opened the door.
"Can I help you?" Charlie asked looking at the two wet men outside the door.
"Uh yeah we're looking for someone. Woman about your height, brown hair, and she's really pretty. Have you seen her?" Dean asked looking at the man.
"Nope can't say that I have" Charlie said quickly closing the door when there was a scream that sounded like help. Dean quickly placed his foot in the door.
"What the hell was that?" Dean asked looking at the man.
"That just the TV, now if you don't mind moving your foot out of my door, you're letting the heat out" Charlie said trying to close the door but wasn't successful.
"You mind if we look around a bit" Dean said pushing the door open and Charlie out the way.
"Yes I do mind. You have no right. I'm gonna call the cops" Charlie said as Sam and Dean moved passed him into the house.
"Dean what are you doing? We can't just barge into this guy's house" Sam said following behind Dean.
"Something's not right here. Wait. You hear that?" Dean said looking at Sam.
"I don't hear nothing Dean" Sam said looking confused.
"Exactly. I thought you said the tv was on" Dean said walking toward Charlie who was inching away, but was stopped by the wall.
"It was uh it must have just went off" Charlie said a frightened. This man may have been small but the look in his eyes told Charlie that this was someone you didn't want to get angry.
"By itself" Dean said anger filling his voice. Charlie just remained silent trying not to look Dean directly in the eyes.
"Where is she?" Dean said breaking the silence.
"Look I don't know where your friend is" Charlie said trying to move but Dean quickly punched him, breaking his nose. Charlie fell over on the floot
"Dean! What are you doing?" Sam ask running over to pull Dean away, but he shook himself out of Sam's arms and went back to Charlie.
"Look you fugly son of a bitch, I know she's here, so stop lying to me and tell me where she is" Dean said pulling Charlie off the floor by his collar.
"I told you I don't know where your friend is" Charlie said holding his nose.
"Ok have it your way" Dean said before pulling out his gun and pointing it toward Charlie.
"Dean are you crazy? She isn't here, lets just go look somewhere else." Sam said trying to calm his brother down.
"Sam she is here, I know it and if this bastard doesn't start talking… well lets just say you better start talking" Dean said still pointing the gun at Charlie.
Katie, Lauren , and Huff sat in darkness when they heard feet shuffling upstairs, followed by what sounded like something falling on the ground. Katie could've sworn she heard Dean's voice. She could hear Huff moving toward the steps. She figure he was probably debating whether he should go up or not. He must've decided, when she heard him slowly creeping up the stairs. When she heard the door slowly close Katie began pulling at the chains again. She felt it loosening when she heard laughing.
Katie stopped. The room was completely dark and she couldn't see where the laughing was coming from . It was a deep laugh, that seemed familiar. Katie looked around, when all of a sudden she saw a pair of glowing yellow eyes staring back at her.
"It's him" Katie thought to herself.
"What no hi, how you've been? I swear common courtesy has been lost with you humans" yellow eyes said. Katie just mumble something through the tape.
"Oh that's right tweedle duffus taped your mouth closed. Let me help you with that" Yellow eyes said before ripping the tape off her mouth. Katie gave a small yelp of pain.
"What do you want, I'm kind of tied up at the moment as you can see" Katie said staring into those yellow eyes.
"I swear Dean is rubbing off on you. I'm here to check up on that offer I gave you before" the demon said.
"Oh ok well since I had time to think about it I gonna say no I'm not gonna join your evil army so go away now" Katie said following the yellow eyes as they moved.
"I can't believe you can say that, I mean look at you. Those people you've giving your life to protect, the one's you've give everything up for have done this to you and you're still on their side. I mean your friends up in the heavens took your powers, left you here helpless to die" Yellow eyes said chuckling.
"Well at the moment neither your or the guys upstairs have been very persuasive, so for the time being I'm on my side and on my side the number one goal is killing you" Katie said staring at the eyes as they got closer. She then felt his hand wrap around her neck.
"I think you should know that this is my final offer so you either take it or I snap your neck" Yellow eyes said, his grasp on Katie's neck getting tighter.
Katie looked at him, then up at the darkness where the ceiling should be.
"A little help here" Katie said straining to speak.
"Isn't that sweet, they've abandoned you now just say yes and come with me" Yellow eyes said closer in to Katie's face. She could feel his hot breath on her face.
But she started laughing. He looked at her like she was crazy.
"What's so funny?" Yellow eyes asked before he hear the sounds of chains dropping to the floor.
"Well me and the guys upstairs maybe at odds at the moment, but it looks like we both agree that we really don't like you" Katie said before holding up her hand sending yellow eyes across the room. She ran to turn on the light but when she looked around , yellow eyes was gone.
"Damnit" Katie said still looking around and noticing Lauren still tied up looking frightened. Katie quickly ran over and said the spell to unlock the chains. She gently removed the tape off Lauren's mouth.
" Are you ok?" Katie asked supporting Lauren who seemed like she would collapse at any minute.
"Who was that?" Lauren asked referring to the yellow eyed person Katie was talking to.
Katie was about to respond when a gun shot when off. Lauren held on to Katie tight, when the gunshot was followed by footsteps toward the basement.
"Don't worry" Katie whispered as she pushed Lauren into a dark corner to hide. Katie and Lauren sat there waiting, when they hear footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Katie you down here?" Dean shouted
"Dean" Katie said walking out of the dark corner. She looked at him and thought to herself that she had never been so glad to see anyone in her life. She ran up and wrapped her arms around him and kiss him. After a while they pulled apart and looked at each other for a moment.
"You came. I was really hoping you would" Katie said looking Dean in the eyes.
"Of course I came. You mean the world to me" Dean said pushing some of Katie's hair out her face.
"Uh guys I think we should get her to a hospital" Sam said who had move over by Lauren unnoticed by Dean and Katie.
"Right, it looks like the rain has settle a little. Let's get her to Bobby's truck Dean said. Sam helped Lauren up and up the stairs followed close by Dean and Katie. Katie stopped and looked back at the basement that had been her prison for the past couple of hours.
"You ok princess?" Dean asked looking at the expression on Katie's face as she looked around the basement.
"Yeah I'm better now " Katie said smiling meekly up at Dean. She was cold and tired and he could see it in her eyes.
Dean looked down at her for a moment and realized that after all of this had happened, another reminder that he could lose her filled his mine.
"Look princess I know I've been a total ass since.. Well I'm sorry that I took it out on you when you were trying to help. Its just been hard and.. Dean said but he hadn't talk about his father and he didn't know how difficult it would be.
"Dean I know. And you shouldn't be sorry. I shouldn't have pushed. You have to deal with this in your own, way and when you're ready to talk about it I'll be here" Katie said closing the distance, they were about to kiss when they heard the horn of Bobby's truck.
"We should probably go" Katie said looking up at Dean.
"Yeah but there's one more thing" Dean said pulling the ring out of his pocket. " I know it's been a while since I asked but I don't remember getting an answer, So I'm gonna ask again" Dean said getting down on one knee. " So princess-"
"YES, Yes, Yes" Katie screamed getting down and kissing Dean.
"You didn't let me finish" Dean said in between kisses.
"I know but I wanted to answer before-" Katie said before being cut off by the horn again. The both laughed, then Dean slid the ring on her finger and they ran upstairs and out to the truck. As they walked Katie was completely happy until she felt a chill go down her body. She started to get a bad feeling and she just hoped she could have this happiness for a little while longer.S

So until then do what I do when a story I like hasn't updated, I reread the story. I swear its even better then the first time around... well until then peeps...
