Dawn was furious beyond reasoning.

'I'm not staying here while you lot gallivanting off after Lucifer!'

Sam sighed, hands on her shoulders. 'Dawn... we're keeping you safe. Ok?' Dawn pulled away. 'Then why can't I come?' Sam sighed again, putting his head against hers. 'Look- we don't want him getting you... I don't.' Dawn sighed now, knowing she wouldn't win.

'Fine... you win...'

Sam kissed her forehead, then said. 'We'll be back. I pro-'

'How many times? Never promise.'

Sam chuckled. 'See you later. Stay safe.' Dawn scoffed. 'Me?' Sam nodded towards Bobby, who was talking to Ellen. 'Don't let him run you over.' Dawn laughed now, then gave him a final hug. 'See you later Sammy.'

Dawn watched out the window as they left, a sinking feeling in her chest. She sighed, then turned to Bobby, ignoring the fact she was a little scared.

'Will they really be ok?'

Bobby didn't speak for a start, then said i a quiet voice. 'I sure hope so...'


It wasn't long until the radio started crackling, and they both rushed to the radio, Bobby answered it, going. 'Everything ok?'

Dawn just shook her head as Dean explained- reapers everywhere, and now Cas had vanished; the place was deserted... Lucifer was there.

Bobby seemed to understand straight away, as he pulled a book onto the table, and Dawn spied a glance. The realized.

Lucifer was summoning Death... tonight.

She had to stop him.

Bobby sighed, then turned around to Dawn- Sam was on the radio. But she was gone. Bobby cursed loudly, and said hurriedly to Sam. 'She's freaking gone!'

Sam groaned, putting the the radio back and then shook his head. Dean frowned. 'What-?' he realized. 'Dawn?' Sam nodded. 'She's vanished- she's coming here.'

Dean shook his head, frowning. 'She wouldn't be that stupid!' Sam understood though. 'She's being reckless... thinking she can stop him.' He looked at his brother.

'Let's do this.'


Dawn stood in front of the building, staring up at its windows, that were cast in shadows. She sighed, then vanished, appearing in the house, but out of sight.

She'd found Castiel anyway. He was imprisoned inside a ring of fire, unable to escape while the figure who haunted her dreams and turned them to nightmares stood before him, arms folded.

Dawn put a foot forwards, trying to get a better angle, when the floor creaked, and Lucifer chuckled, not looking around- so he knew she was there.

She stepped out, and Castiel groaned as she did so. She stared at the devil, then said. 'Hi honey. I'm home (!)' Lucifer chuckled, then walked forwards- Dawn held her ground, glaring into his eyes that looked purple in the light- mixing the blue of his eyes with the flare from the fire.

'Dawn.' He just smiled. 'What an unexpected pleasure.' Dawn smirked. 'Save the sweet talk freak-' she looked at Castiel. 'Let him out.'

Lucifer chuckled. 'Sorry. But this doesn't concern you. So why don't you just stand there a moment while I finish up? Then we can catch up- I would very much like to know how my child is doing.'

Dawn smirked even more now. 'Go to Hell.' Lucifer laughed again, then turned back to Castiel, saying. 'Been there, done that Dawn.' But then he sighed and turned back to her, going. 'Right. I've got something to be getting busy with. You coming?' Dawn scowled, but he still grabbed her arm and they both vanished.


'Let me go!'

Lucifer smiled. 'Certainly.' and let her go. Dawn pulled away, then twisted at an odd angle, making her scream as it felt like her stomach had been ripped out.

'Whoa-' Lucifer said, grabbing her before she tripped over. 'Ypu ok?' He asked, and it annoyed Dawn immensely that there was a hint of concern in his voice. She yanked away, coughing and feeling white. Lucifer sighed. 'Sorry about that.'

Dawn snarled. 'Like you care you devil bastard!' Lucifer chuckled now. 'Oh, you're fine.' then he frowned and cocked his head. He took a step forwards, but Dawn took one back, glaring.

Lucifer rolled his eyes. 'Suit yourself.' He nodded at the floor. 'Take a seat. The show'll start soon.' Dawn didn't speak, but merely watched as Lucifer turned away and picked up a spade, then started to dig.

Dawn couldn't help herself- she frowned and asked. 'Why are you using a spade?' Lucifer turned a little, then grinned, still digging. 'I'm not lazy- I work hard.'

Dawn nodded slowly, readjusting herself and sitting down on the grass before her legs went from under her. Lucifer knew it too. He stabbed the spade into the ground, then walked back over to her, crouching down to her, then asking. 'Sure you're ok?'

With a dark look, Dawn nodded. 'Yes. Now leave me alone.'

Lucifer cocked his head, then put a hand on her cheek, then started to speak, but then Dawns heart jumped in both fear and relief.

'Get your hands of her.'

Lucifer chuckled a little- Dawn heard it, then straightened up. Dawn looked around to see Sam, aiming a gun at Lucifer. 'Oh, you don't need that here. You know I wouldn't hurt you...' Dawn saw Lucifer look thoughtful, then say. 'Not really.'

'Well I would you.' Dawns head snapped around, and Lucifer turned without looking surprised at Dean, who, to Dawns relief, holding the Colt to Lucifers head. 'So suck it.' He finished, then let it off.

Dawn sighed in relief as Lucifer crashed to the ground. Dean sighed, then helped Dawn up, who ran over to Sam and hugged him, staring at the people- the demons, behind them.

Then her blood ran cold as she heard an "Oww!" and turned just in time to see Dean go crashing into a tree, and, eyes widening, she saw Lucifer standing again, the gunshot wound healing rapidly, then he smirked. 'Where were we?'

Sam hugged Dawn tighter as Lucifer spoke again. 'Don't feel too bad- there's only five things in the whole of creation that gun can't kill. And I happen to be one of them.'

Dawn just shook her head ringing- he was still alive... he turned back to the task of digging. Dawn knew what it was; the rest of the village. She'd heard Lucifer saying it not to long ago.

Then she heard. '-say yes right now.' and her eyes flashed. 'Dream on you bastard!' She yelled at him. Lucifer just chuckled, then nodded at Sam. 'Fiery don't you think?'

Sam just shook his head, and Dawn saw him glance to his brother, who was unconcious. 'Where's Jo and Ellen?' She asked in a whisper. Sam didn't speak, but the way he clenched his jaw made it pretty clear- they were dead. Dawn shook her head- all these people... dying...

It was unbearable... next it could be Dean, or even Sam... anyone.

She shook her head, but no words came out. She finally came to when Lucifer said. '-Oh I think it will. And pretty soon. In Detroit.'

Then Lucifer motioned to the pile. 'If you would excuse me, I'm nearly done.'

Dawns eyes widened as he turned and started speaking a strange language that made her skin prickle. The she felt a tap, she turned to see Castiel. Dawn sighed, then felt herself vanish.

But not before meeting Lucifers piercing gaze...


Dawn was sat on the sofa at Bobbys, tears in her eyes. How many more had to die-? Jo... Ellen... who next? Who else was going to die trying to stop the Apocalypse-?

She was sure there would be more casualties before the dance was over... more broken heels and sore feet.

She watched the photo in the flames curl into ashes...


Whoa! That was actually a challange trying to remember what everyone said in Abandon all hope. So... everythings clicking into place now. I know that Luci usually sais "one month" but the time is being extended a bit. Not too much though, and storyline'll stay the same. Bye Jo and Ellen:( Next up soon! Reviews much loved! X Nic
