Authors Notes: So, I'm glad a few of you guys like this fic already :D
Well, here's part 1 of Bad Day At Black Rock. I wonder who grabs the foot instead of Sam, hmm...well, you'll have to just read it and see ;)
Dean and Sam rode along the dark road, the Trans Am following right behind them. Dean was furious at how Sam and Gabrielle had let Ruby go, "The second you find out this Ruby chick is a demon, you go for the holy water! You don't chat!"
"No one was chatting, Dean."
"Oh, yeah, then why didn't you send her ass back to Hell?"
"Because she said she might be able to help us out!"
"How?" Sam was silent, "No, I mean really, Sam. How could she possibly help us?"
"She told me she could help you, okay?!" Dean shifted his eyes, confused, "Out of the crossroads deal."
Dean looked towards Sam, astonished that his brother actually believed Ruby, "She's lying, you gotta know that, don't you? She knows what your weakness is, it's me!" Sam didn't speak, Dean sighed, "What else did she say?" Sam was silent, which slightly annoyed Dean, "Dude."
"Nothing." Sam replied, angered obviously at his brother. All he wanted to do was get Dean out of the deal, he saw how Liz and Dean were getting closer and he didn't want to see Liz get hurt again. Dean looked at Sam, not sure if he was telling the truth, "Nothing, okay! Dean, I'm not an idiot, I'm not talking about trusting her! I'm talking about using her! I mean, we're at war, right? We don't know jack about the enemy. We don't know where they are, what they're doing. Hell, we don't even know what they want! Now, this Ruby girl knows more than we will ever find out. Sure, yeah I know it's a risk, but we need to take it!"
"You're okay, right? I mean-"
"Yes! I'm okay! Why are you always asking me that?!" Suddenly, one of the cell phones started ringing. Dean looked to see if it was his, but it wasn't. He looked over at Sam, "It's not mine."
Dean looked towards the glove compartment where the ringing seemed to be coming from, "Check the glove compartment, it's dads."
"Dads?" Sam didn't understand why Dean even had John's phone.
"Yes, I keep it charged up encase any of his old contacts call."
Sam pulled up the compartment and pulled out the phone, "Hello?"
With Gabrielle And Liz...
"I cannot believe you guys." Liz huffed, "I mean, that Ruby chick is a demon!" Liz still didn't know about the deal, so to her it was quite stupid Sam and Gabrielle even bothered chatting with some demon. She knew before what happened last time chatting with a demon, it resulted in her and Dean splitting up. She didn't trust demons, never had, never will. So, even as much as this Ruby chick asked to be trusted, she wouldn't.
Gabrielle sighed, "Liz, you don't understand."
"Oh? What don't I understand?"
"It's too complicated."
"I know you guys are keeping something from me, so why can't I know? I'm apart of the team too, you know." Liz had noticed everyone acting weird since Ruby showed up. Whatever this Ruby chick knew it had something to do with the secret that Bobby was also keeping from her. It was eating at her that she didn't know, she knew it was about Dean, they didn't have to keep it from her. She had a right to know what was going on.
"Dean will tell you when it's time."
"Why can't he just tell me now? I mean, I have a right to know."
"You do, but just not now is the best time."
Liz snorted, what could possibly be so secretive that they had to all keep it from her and not let her know until the time was right? Why did Sam and Gabrielle even talk to a demon? Whatever they were keeping about Dean, she could handle it, why didn't anyone think that she couldn't? Quite frankly, she actually wished that she could go back to her apple pie life because this was really frustrating her at the moment.
Liz and Gabrielle were soon brought to the attention of Liz's phone ringing, she pulled it out of her pocket and noticed it was Dean, "Dean, what's going on?" She asked, Gabrielle was driving the Trans Am because Liz still had the beat up arm.
"Apparently my dads old storage place outside of Buffalo got broken into."
"So, I'm guessing we got to go investigate?"
"Ding ding. We got a winner."
Liz rolled her eyes, "We're going to Buffalo then, huh?"
"Think you can keep yourself awake?"
"Dean, I had a few caffeine pills. I should be able to stay up for a good while."
"Well, alright then. Having fun back there?"
"Oh, haha. Gabby and I are doing fine. No need to worry about us."
"Okay, I'll see you in Buffalo. Try to keep up." Dean hung up the phone and Liz smiled as she saw the Impala speed up a little.
Gabrielle rolled her eyes, "Don't tell me, we're racing?"
"Oh yes." Liz snickered, "This baby can do great speeds, go on!" Gabrielle laughed and then put her foot more on the gas pedal, letting the Trans Am speed up to the Impala, "By the way, we're heading to Buffalo."
"Really? Why?"
"Apparently, John kept an old storage place there and it just got broken into." Liz said, as she focused on the road as the Trans Am pulled up right next to the Impala. Her and Gabrielle looked over at Dean and Sam, sticking their tongues out. Liz rolled down the window as Dean did his, "Get ready to eat our dust, Dean!" Liz yelled.
Dean laughed, "Oh, come on, you're gonna be eating my babies dust."
"That's what you think! Go on Elle!" Liz ordered her sister, luckily Gabrielle used to street race before so, she knew what to do, she was quite competitive. Though, once they got in Buffalo, they had to trail back behind the Impala again because only Dean and Sam knew the directions to the old storage place, though once they did get to Buffalo, they were the ones who had won.
Liz and Elle parked beside the Impala as Sam and Dean got out, Dean helped Liz out, even though she said she was perfectly fine and didn't need any help. That was until Dean moved her arm a little bit and she yelped, "Dean! That still hurts you know!"
Dean rolled his eyes, "And you say you don't need any help."
"Shut up." Gabrielle and Sam chuckled behind the two, they were getting such a kick out of the two bickering. It was entertaining to them.
After walking out of the elevator to get down to the storage room, Liz pulled out her flashlight from her pocket and turned it on. They walked over to where John's stuff was, Liz flashed the light onto the floor, "Wait. There's blood." Dean knelled down and noticed the trip wire that led over to a gun then huffed.
"Dear ol dad." He shook his head, "Watch your step." They all stepped over the string then checked out all the items John kept. Dean was still by Liz's side, being as protective as he could, even though she was getting slightly annoyed, wait no, she was annoyed. Yeah, she did have a crippled arm at the moment, but it wasn't like she couldn't do anything at all.
"So, if they didn't take any of the guns or bombs here. Then what did they take?" Gabrielle asked as they looked around.
Dean walked over to a small soccer trophy, picking it up and wiping the dust off, "1995."
Sam turned quickly around and walked up to look at the trophy, "No way. That's my division championship soccer trophy."
"You played soccer?" Liz asked, she just never figured Sam would be a sports guy.
"It's the only thing he ever came close to being a boy." Dean commented, which made Liz laugh. Gabrielle rolled her eyes and shook her head as Sam glared at Dean. Liz followed behind Dean as he walked over to a table, picking up a hand made sawed off gun, Liz smiled as she remembered when Dean made it, "Wow, this was my first sawed off."
Liz nodded, "6th grade, I remember." She couldn't believe John even kept it, she was surprised at some of the things John kept in this place that they had found. She looked around, trying to find anything else that grabbed her attention. They walked into another room where John kept his guns and a land mines. Which, they noticed that none of it was taken, so they knew that whoever had broken it obviously knew what they were after.
"Damn." Gabrielle said as they checked out all the stuff, "Alright, so what exactly are we looking for?" She watched as Sam flashed his flashlight onto some cursed boxes. She walked over to the boxes, "These are binding spells, I know it."
"Okay, so John kept some cursed objects?" Liz raised an eyebrow, looking at the boxes, then she noticed one missing out of it's place where there was drops of fresh blood, "Well, looks like we know what they were after now." Dean turned around and walked up.
"This should be interesting."
"Hey, maybe they didn't open up." Dean suggested, though at least that's what he was hoping.
Liz shook her head, couldn't believe how much idiots whoever broke into this place were, "Come on, let's go check the security camera and see if we can catch anything." She said turning around and heading out.
xxxxxxx
The Trans Am and Impala pulled up along a alleyway, they had been able to get the license plate of the car the idiots who stole the cursed object owned. It wasn't had to track down the car, they were able to find it in town. Dean looked at the license plate and saw it read Connecticut with the license number CTC-880, Dean shook his head, "880, that's the last few numbers that Liz had pointed out on the security camera." Dean parked the Impala and then him and Sam got out, Dean walked up to Liz's side of the Trans Am, even though she managed to open the door and get herself out.
"See, I told you I don't need help." Liz smirked at him, "My arm is just fine."
"Oh, yeah? Well how about you move it?"
Liz paused, "Um...move it?"
"Yeah, if you say you're perfectly fine and you can actually move your arm without screaming in pain, then I'll leave you alone." Dean crossed his arms with a grin. Liz gulped, could she really move her arm? Her shoulder still hurt when she moved it, "Go on, use it."
"Dean, just leave her alone." Gabrielle spoke up, saving Liz from causing pain to herself some more. Liz was gonna have to thank Gabrielle for this later, "Just let her do what she wants to, when she needs your help, she'll ask for it."
Dean rolled his eyes, he knew Liz wouldn't ask for help. He knew how exactly she was in these situations, always believing she could do it herself, when she couldn't. All he wanted to do was help, "Well, alright then. Come on, let's go." Liz sighed, she was annoyed at how protective Dean was towards her, he'd always been this protective. Though, she thought he probably got even more protective since they reunited. Then again, she had dislocated her shoulder, so she could see why he was worried.
The four grabbed their guns and broke into the apartment, Dean thought that Liz should had stayed behind, but she refused and followed the others. Dean and Liz stayed on the one side of the wall as Sam and Gabrielle was against the other wall as they snuck up to the guys. They heard them chatting, but couldn't make out exactly what they were saying. They quickly ran in with their guns in the air, "Freeze!" Dean yelled, they all went to different corners of the the room, making sure the two guys wouldn't get away.
"Don't move!" Gabrielle yelled at the guys, "Put your hands up!" She loved how this kinda reminded her of those cop shows she'd watch on television from time to time. Liz looked over to the box and groaned as she noticed that the guys had opened the box.
"They opened the box." Liz said, they all looked towards the box and could've face palmed and how idiotic the two guys were.
"Oh, come on!" Sam groaned.
Dean walked up to the one guy and pinned him up against the wall, "You opened it?!" He yelled.
"Are you guys cops?!" The guy asked, his voice was terrified.
Liz tilted her head, "You could call us that, sorta." She laughed.
"What was in the box?!" Dean ordered for them to tell.
"Rabbits foot!" Gabrielle yelled, pointing over to the table where the rabbits foot laid, "Oh, come on you guys! Seriously?!"
Dean turned to look at the rabbits food, he raised an eyebrow, not thinking about what could be so cursing about a rabbits foot? Though, he was caught off guard and the guy he held back made Dean drop the gun in his hand and it went off making Liz, Gabrielle, Sam, and the other guy duck so they wouldn't get hit, but the bullet hit the lamp. Liz, Gabrielle, Sam, and Dean all turned to the guys then to the rabbits foot, "Get the foot!" Liz yelled as she ran over, but the one guy (not the injured one) ran over and pushed her away, making Liz fall on her shoulder, "FUCK!" She screamed as the pain hit and dropped her gun.
Gabrielle ran over to the guy who had pushed Liz and pushed him off of her, "Don't you touch her!" She yelled and punched the guy in the face. Sam made his way towards the rabbits foot, but Dean was pushed into him and they both fell on the table. The rabbits foot was pummeled into the air and it landed right next to Liz, though with the pain from her shoulder, she tried her best to grab it, but the one guy got away from Gabrielle after he pushed her up against the wall, causing her to hit her head hard and he crawled over to stop Liz from getting the rabbits foot, but even with her one arm in pain she used the other to punch the guy.
Dean got up, but as he did, the guy who was injured grabbed Dean's gun and hit Dean in the face with it, causing Dean to fall down. Gabrielle was able to gain conscious and ran over to where Liz and the other guy fought. Sam was held up by the injured who held Dean's gun. Gabrielle grabbed the guy off of Liz, then Liz turned over and she grabbed the foot, "Ha! I got it!" Liz smirked as she succeeded and Gabrielle help her up.
The guy who held Dean's gun turned his attention to the two sisters and Sam then punched him in the face knocking him out. Dean grabbed the gun and got back up, they all turned their attention to Liz who held the rabbits foot in her hand, she didn't realize how dangerous it was that she even picked it up. The guy who Gabrielle had pulled off of Liz tried getting up, holding Liz's gun, he shot it but it didn't go off, then he fell and the gun went in mid air and then landed in Liz's hand. She snickered, "Sweet."
"Lucky break?" Dean spoke, Liz just shrugged her shoulders.
xxxxx
"Come on, Dean. You can't be serious." Liz said to Dean as he bought some lottery tickets, the rabbits foot was in her pocket.
"Lizzie, that was no lucky break. Your gun doesn't just jam like that." Dean said as the two walked out of the convenience store.
"John had this foot locked up for a reason, it has to be cursed somehow." Liz was quite frightened at what could possibly happen to her now that she had the foot.
Dean handed her over the lottery tickets as they walked up to Sam and Gabrielle who stood by the Trans Am and Impala, "Go on, try." Liz sighed, taking the lottery tickets and then pulling a penny out of her pocket to scratch it.
Gabrielle gave the two a glare, "Seriously?"
Dean grinned, "We just gotta see if this foot is actually lucky." Gabrielle rolled her eyes, she pulled up her black hair into a ponytail because it was bothering her and then walked over get in the Trans Am.
"No way!" Gabrielle turned around hearing Liz, "All winners!" Liz held up all 6 lottery tickets that held a win for $15,000, Gabrielle's mouth dropped, this couldn't actually be serious. No way.
Dean clapped his hands together, "Liz, did I ever tell you how much I loved you?" Liz rolled her eyes as Dean chuckled and wrapped his arm around her.
"I think we should call Bobby, we don't want to fool around with this foot too much. We should know why dad had it locked up." Sam spoke up, pulling out his cell phone.
"Dude, we got ninety thousand dollars here!"
"Yeah, and not everything coming from that foot is good." Sam went through his contacts on his phone until he found Bobby's number and he pressed the call button, putting the phone on speaker so they all could here. Dean and Liz snickered as they held the winning lottery tickets and tried figuring out what they could possibly do with all the money, or maybe even go buy some more tickets.
Gabrielle crossed her arms, "Sam's right, before we use that foot for anything else let's see what Bobby says." Liz and Dean didn't listen, they were too busy planning.
The phone rang a couple times until Bobby answered, "Hey Sam, what's going on?" Sam put the phone down on the Impala's hood and they all got around it.
"Well, these two guys broke into dad's old storage room and he had some cursed boxes, do you know anything about them?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, I knew. Hell, I built those curse boxes. What did they take?"
"They took a rabbits foot, Liz has it right now though."
"Dammit Liz!" Liz perked her head up from looking at the tickets as she heard Bobby curse at her, "You weren't suppose to touch it!"
"Well, sorry. You should've told us about the lock up." Liz huffed at her Uncle, "It's not my fault I touched it."
"You have got to get rid of this thing, it's bad news."
"It got us ninety thousand dollars, personally I don't see how it's bad news." Dean spoke, Liz smirked.
"You idjit, it's real hoodoo old world stuff." Gabrielle looked from her side to see a newspaper and a watch under it. She walked over and picked it up the turned around and showed it to the guys, Dean mouthed awesome as she walked back over, "Made by a Baton Rouge conjure woman about a hundred years ago."
Liz crossed her arms, she noticed since she got the rabbits foot her shoulder hadn't been as painful as she was, Dean had noticed her moving the arm around too, "Well, it's a hell of a luck charm."
"Liz, it ain't no luck charm. It's cursed and made to kill people."
Liz's eyes widened, "Wait, Bobby you're saying that Liz could probably die?" Dean asked, they could tell his voice was full of worry.
"If she loses it, yes."
"Well, then I won't lose it."
"Liz, everyone loses it! And when you do you're dead within a week!" Liz gulped, she surely did not want to die already.
"Well, then how do we break the curse?" Sam asked, he didn't want to see anything bad happen to Liz, no one did. Dean was probably more worried than everyone else, he couldn't lose Liz again, not now.
Bobby sighed, "I don't know if you can." Liz wrapped her arms around her, scared that she might lose the rabbits foot, "Look, I'll search as much as I can. You guys just sit tight and try not to lose the foot. Liz, be safe."
Liz nodded, "I'll try."
"We'll try our best Bobby." Sam said before saying his goodbyes to Bobby then hanging up the phone and putting it in his pocket.
"I'm such a idiot." Dean brought Liz closer to him, letting her lean against his chest.
"No, don't worry. Bobby will find a way to break the curse, you're going to be fine. I won't lose you." Gabrielle and Sam gave the two a reassuring smile, but Liz was terrified, "Look, the foots in your pocket, right? No ones gonna get it. Come on, let's go get something to eat." Liz sighed, she really wasn't in the mood to eat anything at the moment, but she just went along and they all walked to a close restaurant called Biggersons. She guessed she could probably eat something there.
The two walked up to the guy in the restaurant who took everyone to their seats, "Yeah, we'd like a booth. There's four of-" Dean started before the man cut Dean off.
"Congratulations! You're the one millionth guest to the Biggersons Family Restaurant!" The guy yelled as he rang a bell, then brought out a huge check and gave it to the four. The workers crowded behind the guy taking pictures and cheering for them. The guy pushed a button making a horn go off and then confetti and balloons fell on them. Dean and Gabrielle got smiles on there faces thinking this was quite fun, though Sam and Liz were shocked and surprised, not too amused. They got their pictures taken and were taken to their seats.
The four were able to eat whatever the wanted to, much to Dean's liking. Sam brought out his laptop and decided to research on the rabbits foot. Dean chowed down on some ice cream, he offered for Liz to have anything, but she declined. Gabrielle stuffed her face with a burger, Sam rolled his eyes as Gabrielle and Dean about the whole thing, "Sam, did you find anything?" Liz asked.
Sam sighed, "Yeah. Bobby was right about the lore. It goes way back. You can't just cut the foot off of any rabbit, it has to be in a cometary, under a full moon on Friday The 13th."
Liz rolled her eyes, "I don't care about that, I care about how to break it."
Dean shook his head, putting his bowl of ice cream down, though getting a brain freeze from eating it so fast. He couldn't help it though, that was some damn good ice cream, "Liz, don't worry. Bobby is going to find a way to break it, you're going to be fine."
"Oh, really? Am I really going to be fine? Dean did you forget that I have a son to take care of?!" Dean held his head, Liz's yelling next to him didn't help his brain freeze out a lot.
"Dude, chill." He groaned, still holding his head. Liz shook her head and crossed her arms, "And what's going on with your arm?"
"You know, ever since I got the rabbits foot, it hasn't hurt as much. It only feels like a needle's poking me."
Dean huffed, "Well, that's not weird at all."
"Look, Liz I know you're worried about the rabbits foot, but Bobby will find a way to un break it, you're going to be fine. Just don't lose it." Gabrielle assured her, as much as everyone kept telling Liz she was going to be fine, she just couldn't help but think that something was going to go wrong.
"Can I freshen you up?" Liz looked up the waitress, she nodded and gave her coffee cup over to get some more coffee, she noticed something though, the waitress in the face, she looked oddly familiar, along with the voice, it had a slight British accent that she'd heard before, but she shrugged it off.
"Shit!" Liz yelled, jumping back as the waitress accidentally spilled the coffee cup and it dropped onto Liz's leg.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" The waitress grabbed a napkin and leaned down and help clean Liz's pants off, "Guess I'm a little clumsy." Liz huffed at the waitress, she looked over and noticed Dean checking her out, she gave him a glare
"What?" He mouthed, Liz shook her head.
"Look, I'm okay." Liz told the waitress, the waitress just gave Liz a smile, stood up and walked away. She looked back over at Dean who leaned in, checking the waitress out as she walked away, Liz's jealously took the best of her and she clocked Dean on the side of the head.
"What?" He yelled as he rubbed his head, Gabrielle snickered at Dean, she then noticed that Sam was also checking the waitress out, but she was able to keep her jealousy in. It wasn't like there was anything going on between those two anyways like there was between Dean and Liz.
Liz shook her head and then stood up from her seat, she turned around, but ran into one of the waiters, knocking the dishes out of his hand. Dean quickly noticed this, eyes widened, "That was so not lucky."
Gabrielle shook her head, "No it wasn't."
Liz turned around, she reached into her pocket where the rabbits foot had been in and it was gone, her pocket was empty, she looked back up at Dean who quickly got up, "Where is it?"
Liz shook her head, "I don't know, I guess the waitress took it." Liz then remembered, "I knew she looked familiar! Dammit!" She cursed.
Dean raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"
"It was Bela, I know it." Liz growled, gripping her fist, wanting to punch something.
Gabrielle got up from her seat (Sam sat by the window) and walked over, "Are you sure it was Bela?"
Liz nodded, "I'm sure, her voice, those eyes. Without doubt that was Bela."
"Wait, who's Bela?" Sam asked, closing his laptop and standing up.
"Not enough time for that! We gotta go catch her!" Dean yelled, taking off as Liz trailed behind him.
Gabrielle turned to Sam, "This is so not good."
Liz and Dean ran out of the restaurant, they looked around, "Do you see her?" Liz asked Dean as she looked around the parking.
Dean shook his head, "Nope." Sam and Gabrielle ran up behind them. Gabrielle cursed under her breath about Bela, she couldn't stand her and the fact that she decided to show up again around her, oh she was going to give it to her, this time actually send her to the hospital, "Come on!" Dean started running, Liz followed behind him, but then she felt the pain in her arm again, she went to hold it, but then tripped in the process.
"Liz!" Gabrielle called as she ran up to her sister, Dean turned around and ran up, kneeling down and then helping her sit up.
"You okay?" He asked her.
"No, I feel just peachy." Liz grunted her teeth together. Dean rolled his eyes, "The pain is back in my shoulder again if I move it at all." Liz groaned as she held her arm, "This is fun."
Dean sighed, "Alright, how about we go back to the hotel? You'll be safe there." Dean helped Liz stand up, he kept right next to her, making she she wouldn't get hurt again. He couldn't afford to lose her. He looked down and noticed that Liz's knees had both been scraped, "Bobby better find out how to break this curse and fast."
