Bobby and I got home a few hours later. We didn't say much as we went back into researching whatever was going on but without Ash's information we didn't get very far. We finally gave up for the night and tried to get some sleep before picking back up the next day. Thankfully Bobby finally stumbled on something; there were a lot of new demonic omens popping up in one location.
"Maybe this is close to what Ash had found." I mumbled before we both dove back into the research.
Hours later I had given up for the day and made my way upstairs before I heard a knock on the door and Bobby answering it. The voice I heard made me stop dead in my tracks before turning around and going back downstairs freezing at the bottom. There standing in the doorway was Sam. Alive and walking around. "Thanks for patching me up." He said to Bobby as he walked in the house. We made eye contact and he gave me a confused look probably because I looked like I had just seen a ghost. Finally shaking my head I gave a small smile "Sam, I'm glad your okay" as I walked forward and gave him a hug.
When I let go I glanced at Dean who looked suspicious. Bobby and I shared a glance before Bobby said, "Well, I found something." And walked into the living room where all the books were.
Bobby explained what he had found before turning to Sam, "Would you take a look at it? Maybe you can catch something I couldn't"
Sam agreed then Bobby turned to Dean, "Come on, Dean. I got some more books in the trunk. Help me lug them in."
Bobby then walked out of the house Dean and I following. We get into the junkyard before Bobby whips around and grabs Dean by his jacket.
"You stupid ass! What did you do? What did you do?" Bobby paused for a second and I moved to stand next to them before I sudden realized something
"You made a deal." I whispered.
Bobby looked at me before spinning back to Dean, "for Sam, didn't you? How long they give you?"
Bobby seemed near tears before Dean said, "Bobby..." but he was interrupted when Bobby yelled, "How long?"
Dean paused and looked to be ashamed when he answered, "one year."
I stepped back and leaned against a near by car. My movement got Deans attention and went to step towards me before I put my hand up stopping him.
"Damn it Dean" growled Bobby.
"Which is why we got to find this yellow-eyed son of a bitch. That's why I'm going to kill him myself. I mean, I got nothing to lose now, right?"
I sobbed as Bobby grabbed Dean again and drug him forward "I could throttle you." Dean responded but I just ran back into the house and up to my room. I needed to calm down. This was too much. Watching Sam die then hearing Dean sold his soul was too much right now.
By the time I had calmed down and got back down stairs Ellen was there and it looked like whatever Ash had found she had.
"Hey Ellen, it's been awhile." I said walking forward giving her a hug.
"Yeah, you okay?" She asked looking at me, "You look pretty bad."
"Thanks, I try." I said sarcastically, "but yeah, I'm as good as I can be considering…" I trail off glancing up at Dean and we make eye contact. He quickly looks away as if he was burned. I had to put my personal problems behind me for now, there was a larger problem to deal with now.
"It's a Devil's trap. A hundred square-mile Devil's Trap." I heard Sam say.
Dean spoke up as well "That's brilliant. Iron lines, demons can't cross."
Ellen and I walk towards the table as she said, "I never heard of anything that massive."
"No one has." Exclaimed Bobby.
"All those years none of the lines are broken?" I asked before Dean cut in "I mean, it still works?"
We all seem to pause and think about it before Sam says, "Definitely."
Dean looks skeptical "How do you know?"
"All those omens Bobby found. I mean the demons must be circling and can't get in."
"Yeah, well, they're trying."
I look towards Bobby then, "Why? What's inside?"
"That's what I've been looking for. And, uh, there's nothing except an old cowboy cemetery right in the middle." Dean interjects.
"Why? What's so important about a cemetery? What's Colt trying to protect?" Sam asks.
"Well, unless…" I started almost not wanting to believe it.
"Unless what?" Bobby asks looking at me.
"What if Colt wasn't trying to keep demons out?" I start making eye contact with Dean and he finishes "What if he was keeping something in?"
Ellen pips up "Now, that's a comforting thought."
"Could they do it? Could they get inside," Sam asks.
"This thing's so powerful you'd practically need an A-bomb to destroy it. No way a full blooded demon gets across." Bobby answers all of our questions.
"No," started Sam, "but I know who could."
At that moment we all knew who he meant and it was not good. We all quickly gathered whatever we thought we would need for this fight and hopped into cars and headed towards Wyoming.
We managed to arrive before Jake and set about making a plan. Then we waited. Finally after dark he arrived. We were hiding behind tombstones and trees. Then when he passed us we all crept out with our guns pulled.
"Howdy, Jake." Sam said.
He turned around at Sam's voice and was shocked to see him alive. Bobby and I exchanged glanced and Ellen looked confused for a moment but we all turned our attention back on the scene in front of us.
"Just take it real easy there, son." Bobby interjected trying to get off the topic of how Sam was alive.
"And if I don't"
"Wait and see." Answered Sam.
"What, you a tough guy all of a sudden? What are you going to do? Kill me?" Jake asked looking at Sam.
"It's a thought" was his response.
Jake smirked at that and said, "You had your chance. You couldn't."
"I won't make that mistake twice" Sam answered causing Jake to laugh.
"What are you smiling at, you little bitch?" Dean asked.
Jake looked towards us smirking then zeroed in on me and said "Hey, girl. Do me a favor." There was a flash in his eyes and he added, "Put that gun to your head." All of a sudden my arm starts to move the gun towards my head. I start to panic. I try to fight it but my body won't listen. I glance at Dean, my eyes wide. He looks helpless.
Jake just smiles and goes on talking, "See, that Ava girl was right. Once you give into it, there's all sorts of new Jedi mind tricks you can learn."
"Let her go." Sam interjects.
"Just shoot him." I am able to ground out.
"You'll be mopping up skull before you get a shot off." Jake said glance back at Dean. "Everybody put your guns down." He said to the group but added to me with a smirk "except you sweet heart."
I watched slowly as one by one everyone lowered their gun. Dean seemed reluctant and glanced back at me before finally lowering his.
Sam was the last to comply.
"Okay, thank you." Jake said before he turned and ran towards the crypt with the colt. Then everything happened so fast. Bobby bolted towards me and so did Dean as they pushed my arm away from my head right before the gun went off. Missing me by an inch. I yelped and clutched onto Dean as I heard 3 more shots go off. Looking up I saw Sam had pointed his gun and fired on Jake. Sam's face looked wrong. He looked evil, like he was possessed. He walked over to where Jakes body fell and fired three more times into his head. Something seemed off about Sam and I could tell Dean was thinking the same thing. We all approached him and watched as the door to the crypt opened.
