As usual, we followed behind dad for over an hour. I could tell both Dean and Sam had a lot on there minds. But then again, who would'nt with the crap they were dealing with? We had been driving for a little over an hour, which had been quiet and Dean had'nt been blaring up the metallica for once.
"Do you guys really think this colt will kill the demon?. I know it says it can kill anything, but what if this demon in so powerful that the damm thing is useless?" I asked worridly. I'm usually an optimist, but the past few days, with what iv seen and learned, im quickly becoming a worry wort. Dean and Sam looked at each other
"I hope so, if this doesn't, I don't know what will" Sam said his brow creased in worry. Dean shrugged
"Will you too stop worrying, I'm not. If it can kill a vampire, it can kill this demon" Dean said sounding more confident than he looked. Before I could say anything, dad suddenly pulled off the road and parked the truck. We quickly got out, dad got out and cursed looking both upset and pissed
"Dad what is it?" Dean asked
"I just got a call from caleb" Dad said putting his cell in his pocket
"Whos caleb?" I asked.
"An old family friend" Sam told me and looked back at dad
"Is he ok?" Dean asked worriedly. Dad nodded and took a deep breath trying to compose himself
"He's fine, Jim Murphy is dead" Dad told us. Sam and Dean looked at each other in shock, then back at dad
"Pastor Jim?...what happened" Sam asked shaking his head sadly
"I'm assuming this was another family friend?" I asked dad. He nodded
"Yeah, you would have like him" he told me trying to smile.
"Anyway, his throat was slashed-he bled out. Caleb said they found traces of sulfer at his house" Dad went on explaing fixing Dean and Sam with a knowing look
"The demon?" Dean asked. Dad nodded slightly. I clenched my fist angrily. I had nothing to do with the demon like they did, but I felt a rush of anger go through me. It was bad enough this demon was killing innocent babies, now he was going after priest as well? Standing there, It occurred to me what the sob was up too. He was killing everyone close to ym dad and brothers, and probably wouldn't stop there.
"What now?" Sam asked dad.
"Now we act like every second counts. There are two hospitals in this county. We split up and cover more ground. I want records. I want a list of all the babies that are going to be 6 months within the next week" Dad told us, his commanding voice, that irked me so much back in place. Sam looked at him in disbelief
"Dad, that could be dozens of kids. How in the hell are we gonna know which one is the right one?" he asked.
"We'll check them all that's how. Got any better ideas?" he barked. Sam shook his head. We start to get back in the car, and dad into his truck, but he stops.
"What are you doing?" I asked him slightly impatiently. I was ready to get going. Dean looked at him confused
"Dad?" he said. Dad turned around slowly, the mask of pain back on his face
"Yeah…its just Jim…I cant…..this ends now, I'm ending it. I don't care what it takes.' He said firmly. He got into his truck, and we got back into the car. We followed dad into town, and we split up. I went with Sam to the medical center and Dean went to the hospital. I'm not sure where dad went. Sam used a fake police badge and receptionist happily gave him some records to look over. I sat on the other side and helped him look. He looked up at me at one point
"How you doing, nervous?" He asked smiling a little. I looked up from my writing and laughed
"I think after handling vampires I'm up for anything. But yeah, a little nervous. I mean this demon is supposed to be like…the king of all things supernatural right/" I asked. Sam laughed
"That's one way to put it. Listen though you don't have to worry. Dean and I aren't gonna let anything happen to you, I promise. This demon, it wants us, it doesn't even know about you" Sam said reassuringly. I shook my head
"Thanks..but I can take care of myself. But Sam….look. I know Iv only known you and Dean for a few days, but that doesn't change the fact that you're my brothers, my family. That being said, you can count on me. I'll do everything I can to protect your guys and dad too. To the best fo ym ability anyway, I'm not realty worried about myself" I told him truthfully. Sam looked at me impressed and grinned.
"wow, you really are a winchester. Fact is little sister, your stuck with too overprotective big brothers, so your going to have to get used to it" He said amused at how irritated I was getting. I started to reply with a sarcastic comeback, but I just nodded and smiled sincerely at Sam
"Thanks Sammy" I said. His face changed and he scowled. I busted out laughing. It was a good tension reliever and the feeling in the pit of my stomach told me, it would be our last laugh for awhile.
"Not you too. Dean just says it to piss me off. Hes called me that ever since we were kids……although sometimes, I don't mind, but don't you dare tell him that" He said pointing his pencil waringly at me. I smiled and held my hand up
"Scouts honor…..but is it ok if I call you that sometimes, I mean it could be a sibling thing" I suggested. Sam rolled his eyes
"Yeah yeah, I guess so, now c-mon back to work" he said shoving another file at me. We finished about 30 minutes later, which was good because my eyes were starting to cross. We walked outside when I noticed Sams face lookes pinched and he was rubbing his eyes and stumbled a little. Alarmed, I reached out to steady him
"Sam!...hey whats wrong are you having a vision?" I asked suddenly, remembering Dean telling me about his symptoms. Sam nodded and started to breath heavier. I did'nt know what to do, so I led him to a bench a few feet away. A few seconds later he was breathing shakily and rubbed his forhead
"Sam?….Sammy you ok" I asked worriedly. He was starting to scare me. He sqeezed my shoulder reassuringly
"I'm alright…….but I know who the demon is going after next." He said running a hand through his slightly damp hair from sweating. I nodded slowly
"What did you see?" I asked keeping my hands on his upper arms in case he stumbled again.
"A woman, she was being dragged on the ceiling, she lives somewhere…uh the window had white curtains and it was by a train track" He said squiting trying to remember his vision. I looked around, seeing if I saw any train tracks
"C-mon, I think I saw some a block or 2 over" I said. Sam nodded and followed me. We found the house and met Monica and her adorable baby girl. Sam and I were both horrified to learn she was six months old today. We both hurried back to the motel to meet dad and Dean.
We got back to the motel to find Dad and Dean already there. Dean immediately recognized Sams pale face
"Sam, what happened are you ok?" He asked standing up. Sam nodded and Sat down at the table messaging his temples
"I had another vision, it was the demon, he was killing someone else" Sam said. Dean sat back down looking surprised, but not nearly as surprised as dad
"Vision?...you have visions,since when?" He asked thoroughly shocked. I shook my head impatiently
"Never mind that now dad. We met the a woman, her names monica, and she has this adorable baby named rosy. She told us rosie is exactly six months today" I said biting my fingernails nervously
"WHAT?" dad and Dean almost shouted at the same time. Sam winced
"Hey, tone it down a bit guys" he said. Dean got off the bed and walked over toward us
"They started out as nightmares, then they started happening to him while he was awake" dean said leaning against the table next to us. Sam nodded
"Yeah its like the closer I get to anything involving the demon, the stronger the visions get" Sam said. I looked at Dad, who seemed kinda angry now
"ok, when were you gonna tell me about this?" he said looking accusingly at Dean. Dean sigh
"Dad we didn't know what it meant" he said shrugging. Dad nodded, but still looked mad
"Alright, when something like this starts happening to your brother, you pick up the phone and you call me, understand?" he asked glaring at dean.
"Its not deans fault" Sam said angrily to dad. I glared at dad as well. How could be blame dean?
"Ok whoa!...are you kidding me? Your mad at dean? He didn't do anything wrong dad. I know I wasn't there, but from what they'v told me, your pretty hard to reach" I snapped.
"Jody its ok" Dean said giving me a small smile and then turning to dad peeved.
"Call you? Are you kidding me. I called you from Lawrence dad, ok Sam called you when I was dying. Hell getting you on the phone I have a better chance of winning the lottery" He said almost yelling. Dad looked up at Dean for a moment and shook his head slowly
"Your right" he said quietly "I'm not real crazy about this new tone of your, your right. I'm sorry" He said. Sam looked up and sigh
"Look guys, visions or no visions the fact is this demon is coming tonight and this family is going to go through the same hell we went through" Sam said looking a little better. Dad shook his head firmly and stood up
"No there not, no one is ever again" he told us. I jumped as sams cell rang. It picked it up and looked at it confused. He pressed a button and caustiosly put it to his ear.
"Hello?" He asked tentively. He listened for a moment, then got a shocked expression on his face
"Meg?...last time I saw you, you fell out of a window" Sam said. Dean got a look of disbelief on his face. I raised my eyebrows. Dean had told me a little about meg, and how they had fought her back in Chicago. Only if she had fell out of a window, how was she still alive?
"My dad?" Sam said suddenly looking nervously at Dad. "Uh…I don't know where he is" Sam lied swallowing nervously. I heard meg raise her voice on the other end. Sighing, Dad reached for the phone, Sam reluctantly handed it to him. I looked at my brothers
"How is that bitch still alive if she fell from 17 stories?" I asked them. Something about that little fact, unnerved me.
"Beats the hell out of me" dean said shaking his head. Sam was focued on dad and megs conversation
"Caleb!...caleb. leave him alone he has nothing to do with this" Dad yelled. Sam and Dean got pained looks on there face. I covered my face with ym hands and sigh. Obviously meg had killed someone they knew.
"that's impossible, I cant get there in time and I cant carry a gun on the plane" Dad said impatiently. They finally hung up, and Dean, Sam and I stared at him in shock
"so you think meg is a demon?" Sam asked doughfully
"either that or shes possessed by one. Its doesn't matter" Dad said digging in his bag. Dean crossed his arms
"What do we do?" he asked. Dad turned around holding the gun
"I'm going to Lincoln" he said matter of factly
"What" Dean and I said at the same time. Sam shook his head stubbornly
"Dad, no the demon is coming tonight for monica and her family. The gun is all wev got, you just cant hand it over" he said staring at it. Dad smiled a little
"Who said anything about handing it over? Look, besides us and a couple of vampires, no onw knows what the gun looks like. Dean scoffed
"So what your just gonna pick up a ringer at the pawn shop?" H asked sarcastically. Dad shrugged
"Antique store" he said.
"I'm with Dean dad, its not going to work. I read some of those books you gave me, demons are sneaky and smart, there going to know it's a fake" I told him shaking my head. Dad sigh
"Listen Jody, I know what I'm doing. I just need to buy some time, a few hours that's all" he said. Sam looked at him
"You mean for Dean, Jody and me. You want us to stay here….and kill this demon ourselfes?" he asked. Dad looks at sam sharply
"No Sam!...I want to stop losing people we love. I want you to go back to school, Jody I want you to get to go to college for us to make up on lost time. I want Dean to have a home" he paused and turned away wiping his eyes quickly. Was dad crying?
"I want Mary alive again" He said shakily. "I just want this to be over" he said finally. I felt my own self tearing up, even Sam and Dean exchanged tearful looks
