Lots of responses needed...

Al-luvs-kitties02 and Poaetpainter- It's strange that you two thought that line was funny... I wrote it to be funny but my sister read it and thought it was sad.

NerwenCulnamo and Julie- Thanks!

Khris - Sorry I didn't post a chapter last night but I was really trying to make sure I had all plot points fixed... I changed some parts of the ending and I had to fix the next two chapters to match.

jendeana - I love the YED... in a hate filled kind of way, I love to put him in as an invisible chapter. He's not in this story but then he is.. You are much too kind :)

lookaftersammy - That is my middle name... actually its not, but without the tease what would you have to look forward to right?

roxy071288 - ooooh I made you go all non verbal he he

Nilah - I hope I don't dissapoint.

cruzing4jensen - You'll see... I love to tease. Don't worry... I think there are only a couple of chapters to go. It depends how it all breaks down.

neko-in-tears - I like to take as much from the show as possible. Fortunately for us watching the show, but unfortunately or me writing, the YED story seems to be coming to a head right now so I suspect the connections to the show will rapidly dwindle when we see whats really going to happen. Oh well I enjoyed my little guessing game.

LovinJackson - That gets solved in this chapter. Maybe I just should have called her the bitch. I kinda like that name...Heres more just for you ;)

Hello readers, I didn't put a chapter lead on this on purpose. If you need a reminder please go back to chapter 9.

Chapter 10

Dean felt himself being lifted off the ground. His first thought was the demon but he could feel actual hands touching him and went into panic mode. He slammed his elbow in the direction he hoped would reach the demons face. Sure enough he felt a grunt of pain and he fell instantly to the ground. That's when his own pain returned. His shoulder hit the ground hard. He rolled as quickly as he could and managed to get into a crouching position ready to defend himself.

He looked up at his attacker and relaxed. "Bobby? What the hell are you doing here? Don't you know any better than to wake me like that?"

"Hell I thought you were dead!?! If I'd a known you were gonna come back from the dead to belt me I would left your ass in the dirt."

Dean shook his head, regretting it instantly when he felt it spin. "Where are we?"

"Middle a nowhere. About a hundred miles outside Reno, Nevada."

"Why are we here? Wait…" Dean recognized this spot. This was where they had picked up that freak EMF reading…

"I was about to ask you the same question. What did you do to Sam to make him ditch you half naked on the side of the road."

Dean folded his arms across his bare chest noticing the cold of the October breeze. "It wasn't Sam."

Bobby sighed, "Then what the hell have you two been messing with?"

Dean didn't even know where to start. "Well…Wait, How did you know I was here?"

"Sam…called, told me where to find you. He sounded strange. I've never heard him like that. I thought maybe….You sure you two didn't just fight? Maybe you were drunk or something?"

Dean jumped to his feet the pain in his head completely forgotten. "Sam called you? When? What did he say?"

"I'll fill you in on the way. Lets get off the side of the road and get you some clothes."

Dean wanted to argue but he did need to get some clothes on before he started shivering. He thought he heard something behind him but when he turned it was just an empty field. He could have sworn someone was watching.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The darkness was all around him. As Sam exited the room it was almost as if there was no light anywhere. He kept waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness but they never seemed to. It was as if there was just nothing to see. He took a few steps forward and realized he didn't even hear his own steps. There was no sound.

"Welcome….welcome…welcome…welcome…" an echo of voices filled his head. Male and female soft and loud. He turned around quickly but still there was nothing to see.

"We have brought you as far as we can." A female voice whispered softly.

"We have brought you to the darkness." A male voice deep and booming.

"Only you can choose to see what there is to see." The demon.

"Where is here?" Sam asked calmly.

"Into our minds. Here we are together as one. One mind, one set of thoughts."

"Why can't I see anything?"

"I think you can answer that Samuel."

Sam took a deep breathe and closed his eyes tight. "I am looking with my eyes." He opened them slowly and tried to look beyond. Faces started to appear around him. The demon appeared first, but not as he had seen her before. She looked younger than before. Human. Other faces the same age as he slowly came forward out of the darkness.

He thought he recognized one of the faces in the background and focused on it. He pulled the girls towards him with his mind. She looked frightened for a moment.

"Ava?"

"You remembered." She smiled.

Sam quickly let her go as he realized he was still holding her suspended. "What are you doing here?"

"I am a part of this. This is where I belong."

"A part of what? Why are we here?"

The voices spoke as one. "Our father has brought us together."

"No, I don't belong here…"

Ava took a step forward. "Yes, yes you do Sam don't you see this is the only place any of us belong. There is nothing in that life to go back to for you."

Sam pictured the "But your life, you were going to be married…"

"That is why I had to destroy him, I had to remove all my false ties to the mortal world."

"You? You killed him?"

"Oh, come now Sam. You knew that already. We can read you so easily…" The demon…girl answered with a laugh.

"Who are you? Your not a demon."

"No, my name is Elena. I am just as human as you… that is to say not for very much longer."

Sam turned quickly looking for a way to escape.

"There is nowhere to go. You can not run away from your mind. Once you have joined us we will be truly one."

The demon's children began to circle him. Each speaking in turn

"There will be no death for us."

"No pain."

"No empty feelings."

"No fear."

"Pure joy."

"You have never belonged before."

"You can belong here."

"With us."

"Together."

"Join us."

Sam felt like his head was on fire. It sounded so simple. So perfect. Everything he had always wanted. "I….I don't know…how…"

"You know what you must do…"

A picture entered his mind. "Dean?"

"Yes, he could never understand. He would always be your weakness."

"He will try to keep you from us."

"He will hunt you. He will try to kill you."

Sam shook his head quickly trying to block the visions the others were sending to him. He couldn't get his mind to focus. Pain. There were too many voices too many sounds. He felt like he was falling. He closed his eyes tight and started to block each of the voices one by one.

Each time he blocked a voice he could see a little more of his surroundings. At first he thought he was back in the room with Dean but then he started to see that that too was an illusion. He was still in the field where he and Dean had been kidnapped. He saw Dean lying in the dirt unconscious and handcuffed. He remembered all the things that Dean had said to him. All the arguments they had never really finished. He felt the pain of Dean's fist as hs words were rejected for those of a near stranger. He heard Dean complain about Sam being selfish not caring about his family. Maybe I was never meant to. He let the anger flow through him.

End of Chapter 10. I will probably post another chapter tomorrow... or maybe not with the show on. Will anyone actually be reading? Let me know! And review the story too while you are at it. :)
