A/N: Hey sorry AGAIN for the wait but sometimes it is harder to write a good party than attend one so I had to do some, let's say 'research' shall we? So I had that hard work to do and for the angsty parts well as I said in my bio my life is boring so angst is hard. For those of you who are saying 'When is it going to start?' here is the chapter. Now remember some of these characters are base off of people I know but not faithfully reproduced, nor are all the activities true to life. Those are the only disclaimers for this chapter, oh yeah I don't own the boys, though the Gods know I'd like to. :p The titled is a play on the title of a Frankie Sinatra song, because the boys are bewitched, Dean is bothered by something he can't but he can't put his finger on it, and almost everybody is betrayed! Sorry it is really late/early here and my mind has gone a little strange. Thanks to Morning Sunlight for helping so much on this chapter, you rule! Also thanks are owed to my friend Everett for putting up with my constant phone calls about ideas and not killing me for making such a nuisance of myself to him, also thanks to his girlfriend for her understanding! Remember R&R but be constructive because otherwise how am I to learn?

Good writing to everyone

Serenity for all

Sincerely Rae Artemis

Chapter 8: Bewitched, Bothered And Betrayed

Sam watched Dean walk away talking with Jason, as Kim appeared to be arguing with Adam. He winced as Dean threw him another cocky thumbs up before he walked out the door, Kim punching Adam and storming out as well.

"Is your sister okay? She looks upset."

"She's just mad at Adam. She doesn't like it when he 'seeks oblivion', it worries her. You know how older siblings are." Catie said giving him a brilliant smile and a shrug as if to say 'who doesn't'. "He's close enough to be family so of course she worries. She's like that for everybody in the family, even Jason who, as you can see, can no doubt take care of himself."

"So how are you related to…uh…everybody it seems?" Sam asked, wondering how to get the information he'd need to keep his vision from happening. He couldn't just ask 'hey! Do you know anyone who practices magick and wants to sacrifice you on an altar?' The last thing he wanted was for her to think he was crazy, then he wouldn't be able to keep an eye on her and her sister.

"Well let's see…my Dad, Robert, is brother to Iris, Mike, Rosie, and Lily's dad Bruce. We all had to go through high school together, which for the record sucks!" She made a face, her eyes scrunching in an endearing way. "I'm right in the middle of the group for ages."

"So Rosie is still in school then? Because I thought I saw her waitressing here at lunch time?" Sam let his question hang in the air, a trick that Dean had taught him; lead people but don't force them, people like to talk, so let them.

"Yeah but right now she's…um, she's home schooling right now because of stuff that is going on at the school. Family issues, which is why Kim's not working right now either."

"What kind of issues?" Sam gently prompted her.

"Just…just family issues and bureaucracy and all that red tape." Catie looked at her beer and deciding she needed a fifth one, clumsily waving down her cousin Lily. She accidentally swatted Sam upside his head. "Sorry, normally I don't drink but I guess Adam isn't the only one seeking oblivion tonight. It's been a rough week, Kim getting tossed from school, Rosie a day later… Not to mention our parents are-"

"Hey Catie, here ya go!" Lily said brightly, appearing out of nowhere again beside Sam who jolted with fright. "How are you two doing? You want anything else?" The words sounded normal enough but something in the undertone suggested a subtle warning

"I think I'd better slow down, maybe, yeah I'd better slow down." She leaned back in the booth a look of concentration on her face, as if gauging her sobriety. "Tell Mike good timing on…"

"Timing on…?" Sam stopped as he felt the alcohol suddenly kicking in. "Wow! That was good timing." He exclaimed as the full effect hit him, though there was something different about it this time. Sam knew he wasn't a heavy drinker but he'd never experienced anything like this before, not even at all the parties that Jess had dragged him to. Not even the time with the Jell-O shooters. "How'd…how come…what was in those beers?"

"What were you drinking?" Lily picked up one of his bottles; Sam suddenly noticed he'd had six somehow. "Angel's Tears? Hmm, yeah six would be kicking in right about now." She smiled reassuringly at him. "Don't worry it is just the effect you get with enough alcohol on Thursday nights, there is an atmosphere here that kinda helps. So want more?" She raised an eyebrow challengingly.

"Another round for everybody, Lily." Catie answered back expansively. "But of the 'special brew' the stuff from the private stash, that includes Jason and Robin now too."

"You sure 'they' can handle it?" Lily asked taking a close look at Sam, sizing him up.

"I can handle anything you can." Sam said defensively, his Winchester pride getting the better of him.

"Just remember, you asked for it." Lily replied ominously over her shoulder as she walked away.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Hey there, Dean." Sam slurred out happily as Kim and Dean returned from helping set up the stage area.

"Hi Sammy, how you doing?" Dean looked at his brother closely checking to see how far gone he was. "How many have you had?"

"Hmmm? Uh, I don know, how many've I had Catie?" Sam slurred out to Catie who leaned against his arm, a pleasant smile on her face, her eyes more alert than Sam's.

"Huh? Um…ask Lily." She murmured as she snuggled deeper into Sam's shoulder. Dean snuck a glance at Kim and saw her hide a smile as her sister pawed his brother.

"You guys wanna move over so we can sit down?" Dean suggested, trying not to laugh at the pair, who both looked at him with dreamy, unfocused eyes as they shuffled over in the booth to allow them to sit down.

"Yeah, we don't want to attract Jason's attention, he'll make us go up and sing, and I, for one, am far too sober for that!" Kim laughed making a show of ducking into the booth. In the background, Jason plugged in his microphone and began calling out names of people to join him on stage. Kim breathed a sigh of relief, as their table was not called forward.

"Is he really that bad?" Kim looked at Dean as if he'd suddenly sprouted a second head on his neck and it, not Dean, was speaking to her.

"You know how he was hitting on you? It's like that but not as subtle."

"Oh. Okay so we hide out here and wait him out?" Dean asked hopefully, as he wasn't much for karaoke.

"No, we begin drinking, copiously! That way when he calls us we won't feel as stupid as we'll look." Kim smiled handing him a drink, which had appeared in her hand out of nowhere. Jason looked at the table and winked as if to say 'I'll getcha later.' Suddenly the room fell silent, as if even the crickets were afraid to offend the big man on stage with their noise. Just as the silence became deafening, Jason announced who would be joining him on stage.

"Okay everybody I'm giving fair warning that this night is going to be heavy on the traditional, 'cause I've been listening to a lot of Great Big Sea recently but if you have any requests, of course, call 'em out. But remember you'd better be willing to lead the song!" Jason smiled wickedly his eyes roving about the bar. "So we're starting with 'The Old Black Rum' by Great Big Sea ladies and gentlemen."

Jason turned back to the assembled band and they began to play some music that Dean didn't recognize but it had a good beat. The party got under way, the alcohol flowed, and the musicians played their hearts out, being periodically replaced by people Jason called to the stage.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As the night progressed Kim began to think Jason had decided to spare her from having to perform in front of Dean, she was just starting to relax when she heard him call her.

"Kim, would you care to join us onstage along with your sister for a couple of songs?" Kim froze, fear spreading through her body like an electric shock. She glared up at Jason who smiled at her, beckoning her to the stage a fiddle held out to her. Kim nudged Catie who shrugged as if to ask what other choice they had.

"We gotta go up, sit tight okay?" Kim whispered urgently, getting up from the table.

"Why? Can't you just say 'no'?" Dean asked his hand on her wrist, holding her here there. Catie got up and Sam moved to follow Catie, who motioned him to stay. Sam sat heavily back down as Adam passed him, following Catie to the stage.

"Everybody knows the deal, Jason calls you and you play. He's the Master of ceremonies tonight and he gets paid by Mike for getting the party going. There is no saying 'no' to him." Kim looked at the stage where Jason handed Catie a tin whistle and Adam was given a hand drum. Jason looked at Kim and stepped to the microphone.

"Don't be shy Kim, if you want you can bring lover-boy with you." Jason teased her from the stage his eyes dancing as her face-flushed red.

"Coming Jason." Kim growled out as she shook Dean's hand off her wrist and raced to the stage before Jason could make another comment. As Jason handed Kim a fiddle Dean saw her whisper to him an annoyed look on her face. Catie played a few songs and then returned to the table leaving Adam and Kim with Jason.

As Catie returned she told Dean to go up on stage and the only reason he did was because he wanted to give Sam more time with the very affectionate girl. He walked towards the stage and stood off to the side trying not to attract attention, eventually he was physically dragged up by Jason to join in on some song called 'Captain Kidd'. Kim helped him escape, shortly thereafter, back to the relative safe haven of the booth. They both collapsed into it, hiding from Jason on stage and glanced fearfully back worrying that he was going to call them back up. They turned to their siblings who were enjoying each other's company.

"Catie? Catie what have you been drinking?" Kim asked her sister, Catie looked up at Kim, her eyes still much more focused than Sam's.

"Lily got us all a round of the special stuff but we drank yours too so Lily or Rosie'll be bringing some more soon. Hey here she is." Catie pointed to thin air a moment before Lily came to the table. Dean turned to look and saw Lily, a tray of drinks in her hands, smiling widely. Dean thought he'd seen the girl at the bar a moment earlier.

"Sorry Catie, Sam, Mike says that you're on water for the next little while. Sorry guys." Lily dropped her load of drinks and disappeared back to the bar. This time Dean was watching and his eyes widened as he actually saw her disappear into thin air. He shook his head as if to clear it.

"Uh, I, um, did, uh." Dean stuttered out, trying to understand what he had just seen, it wasn't possible, not on vacation.

"Yeah?" Kim looked at him, a worried look fleeting across her face.

"Nothing, uh, just…going to grab something to eat from the bar." Dean quickly slid out of the booth and walked away quickly, watching carefully as Kim and Adam chatted with the drunken pair. He began to wonder what the hell was going on, as he sidled up to the bar, his eyes glued to the table where his brother sat oblivious to the weirdness surrounding him. There were many people in the tavern now and he was able to blend in as many of the patrons were by now very blended themselves. As he hid out next to the bar formulating his theories as to what the hell was going on, he overhead Rosie and Lily laughing about something.

"What the Hell is going on with Catie? When was she so friendly and forward…. Or even just friendly?" Lily giggled to her younger sister.

"Well I hate to brag but…" Rosie looked around to make sure no one would overhear her confession. "I managed a little charm on Catie. A little love-at-first-sight spell that Kim actually taught me! It doesn't last long but when Sam came in here this morning he looked so sad and Catie just broke up with David so…"

"She will KILL you if she finds out, you do know that right?"

"It only lasts two or three days tops, she'll never know, she'll figure it was a random fling. C'mon what's the worst that can happen?"

"Can you say 'Famous last words'? Lily asked her sister. "She is going to kill you."

"Whatever, she'll be thanking me, but she'll never know right?"

"I won't tell her, I swear but if you die can I have your share of the tips tonight?"

"Whatever." Rosie said just as Iris burst into the conversation with a stern look on her face, hands on her hips.

"Rosemary Saffron Beste! How could you do that to your own cousin! And Lily, how could you encourage her!" Iris said pulling herself up to her full, yet not towering height. Dean saw Adam making his way to the bar, weaving slightly and half turned so he wouldn't be seen.

"Hey there ladies! How're ya'll? I need another pint o' the special stuff." He said smiling at the three girls, noticing Iris's angry expression. "Wha's goin' on?"

"Rosie has been abusing her Talents and playing with magicks that she shouldn't. This, Rosie, is why people call us witches! This is why you and Kim aren't in that damn school!" Iris glared at her two sisters. "Gods dammit why don't you two ever listen! With mom and dad away up Island looking for Uncle Robbie and Aunt Joyce do you think you can break all the rules! You both just wait 'til they get home, then you will learn? If you keep this up, we'll all be burned at the stake as witches!"

Dean bit his lip to avoid yelling out; 'because it's WRONG!' He kept his mouth shut because he had to know what they were, so he could break their hold over his brother. Dean felt a pang of regret as he realized that Kim was no doubt involved.

"Yeah! Yer not witches, yer just a bunch of faeries!" Adam said gesturing widely, to the girls who all shushed him quickly, their eyes darting about to see if anyone had heard him, fortunately they didn't see Dean, whose eyes would have given him away, they were wide and staring.

"Dammit Adam! Not everybody needs to know, not everybody has an idea even, and they don't need to!" Iris hissed out her eyes flashing, almost glowing. No they were glowing Dean noticed in the dim light of the bar.

Shit, Dean thought his mind racing frantically, what the Hell? I thought you only got those out east, why are they here? Dammit on my vacation too! Dean moved away as he heard the girls cut Adam off and put him on water, despite his loud protests. Gotta get to Sammy, and get back to the…Damn the B&B is owned by 'one of them', all the stuff is there! Dean ground his teeth in frustration. Damn I even told Iris I knew about this kinda stuff. He looked at Sam worried, so intent on figuring out how to get his brother out, he didn't notice that Kim had snuck up behind him.

"Hey there." She smiled up at him and Dean noticed her anew, there was no way she could be involved. He felt his resolve weakening. He looked back at Sam and away from Kim, and felt the hold she had over him weakening. "Get lost Dean? Not hungry anymore?" She smiled teasing him and he felt convinced that she had nothing to do with any of it.

"Huh?" Dean shook his head, regaining control, a seductive smile spreading across his lips. "Not for food anyway." He grabbed her hand and led her to the door, she followed him very willingly. Dean led her outside the bar, to a dark part of the parking lot.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Kim followed Dean, eager to find out what game he was playing, he drew her close to him turning her back to the wall, leaning in to her.

"Whatcha hungry for?" Kim asked her hands sliding up his back, behind his head, a sly smile on her lips. Dean's hand slowly inched towards his inner jacket pocket, for the Holy water he kept there. He pushed her hands back, wishing that he could enjoy the moment instead of ruining it.

"Christo." He murmured softly, searching her face for a reaction, a first nothing then a look of confusion crossed her face, her mouth open, as she was about to ask what he meant. Well, here goes nothing! He thought as he pulled out the Holy water. He pulled away sharply as he flung the water at her puzzled face. It sizzled as it made contact with her skin, her eyes flashing a bright, glowing bright green. Her hand touched her cheek where the water had hit, a pained look filling her eyes.

"Oh Gods! Gods, Dean I'm sorry." Kim's eyes shimmered like a green mirage as she murmured some words Dean couldn't quite make out but as she finished speaking her eyes flared bright green and he felt a darkness surrounding him, dragging him down.

"Wha' are you doin'?" He slurred out as the darkness took him and he fell to the gravel of the parking lot. "Don' hurt Sammy." Dean gasped out with the last of his strength.

"I'm sorry." He heard her whisper, as she leaned over him, her hands on his temples. "I'm sorry Dean but you can't know these things."

Don't hurt Sammy, was his last conscious thought.
