Chapter 10
A/N: well since I was mean enough to make you guys wait, I'm putting another chapter up just for ya! Lol read and review! Thank you! ^_^
Dean woke up startled and sweaty. He looked over and saw that Sam was hovering over him, looking scared. "Dean! I've been trying to wake you for ten minutes now!"
"What?", Dean said groggily. He sat up but then gasped out in pain. "Shit! What the hell?", he said grabbing his chest.
"What? What is it?"
"Its my… heart", he said quietly. Dean then took his shirt off and checked the left side of his chest. His eyes widened. There they were, the marks.
"Dean, what happened?", Sam said surprised. Sam watched wide eyed as he saw five little nail marks surrounding where his brother's heart laid. Dean did the same. The dream hadn't been real, had it? "Dean?"
"Kris…"
"What?"
"It was Kris. I was dreaming about her. She… she killed you and dad. Yellow eyes was controlling her.", Dean replied. Sam watched is brother closely. There was something bothering Dean. Dean looked up at Sam before continuing. "She was scared and she… she was begging for me to leave her. She kept saying she couldn't control it… Yellow eyes kept pushing her to kill me, but she didn't. She was close though… these marks here… these are her nail marks."
"Nail marks? Why would she leave nail marks on you?"
"She was ripping my heart out", Dean replied. Sam stepped back shocked. Dean nodded. "Yeah I know. That's a demonic thing to do. But I'm telling you, she didn't want to do it. I was looking at her the whole time. It wasn't Kris in those eyes. Something else was."
"What exactly was it then?"
"I don't know. The thing thats bugging me is why? Why would Yellow eyes want Kris to do his bidding for him?"
"A demon possessed her mom when she was giving birth to her. Do you think that demon could of been him?"
"No, it wasn't him", John interrupted form the door way. Both Dean and Sam turned to the door to see their father walking in with his bag and gun. "Kris' mom wasn't possessed by Yellow Eyes. She was possessed by a demon controlled by Yellow Eyes.", John stated. He walked over to Sam and patted him on the back before he walked over to Dean. He turned him around and put a hand on his cuts. "What did you see?"
"Kris was being controlled by by him. She killed both you and Sammy. She then changed back into herself. It was like she was fighting for power over whatever was controlling her."
"You mean Yellow eyes?"
"No I mean something in her. She told me to leave but I didn't and what ever was in her, pinned me to the wall and ripped my heart out", he answered. John looked at him with no expression on his face. Dean went over to his bed and put his shirt back on before continuing. "Then I woke up with Sammy here yelling in my ear and these marks on my chest."
"I think Kris is trying to warn us."
"About what? Why would she be warning us? She…. She died, didn't she?"
"Well Sam remember, because she was born under possession. She's already ½ dead.
"So technically she's still alive?"
"The demon part that we know, yes. She is still alive."
"We can summon her here…"
"Along with the demon.", Dean finished Sam's sentence. John looked at his sons and sighed. He nodded in agreement even though his gut told him that it was a bad idea. But then again, Sam had been right before about the demon's trick. "Alright, get the ingredients ready. We summon her in two hours."
"Right, Sammy get the candles in the bag by the door", Dean said as he got the herbs needed for the summoning. John walked over to his bag and pulled a red-colored spray can out and began making a devil's trap on the floor underneath the rug. When finishing the trap, he laid the rug back over it, and began making the summoning circle. Sam came in with the candles and made a circle, while Dean mixed the ingredients in a silver bowl and set it in the center.
"Alright, I think that will be fine.", John said brushing his hands off. Dean nodded while Sam went to got get his father's journal out of Dean's jacket pocket and found the page of the summoning spell. He looked up at his father and nodded.
"Okay, I don't want you two to think anything about getting her away from him. We will pretend to make a deal with him about Kris, understood?"
"Yes sir", both Dean and Sam answered. John nodded at them and Sam began to summon them. Half way through the spell, the fire began to burn brighter in the fire place. The lights began to flicker but then went out. Dean looked over at his father but then turned his attention to the fire. It grew ten fold when a black smoke appeared in the middle of the candles. They began to form upwards and into two figures. Dean got his gun ready out of habit.
When Sam finished the summoning spell, Yellow eyes and Kris were standing in full form. Kris had her head down and her eyes closed, but Yellow eyes was standing with his arms across his chest and a smile on his lips. "Hello boys! To what occasion do we owe you our visit."
"We want Kris back."
"Oh is that it now.", Yellow eyes laughed. Dean tightened his grip on his gun. He wish the bullets in this gun could kill that son of a bitch. Yellow eyes stared at him and then smiled. "So you had a lil nightmare about Krissy here, huh?"
"Stay outta my head, you stupid son of a bitch! Give us Kris back now."
"Or what? You gunna kill me? Send me back to hell? If I go, she goes…"
"What the fuck are talking about?"
"You see, Kris and I are now connected. Just like your little brother Sammy over there.", he smiled. Sam almost dropped the journal in his hands. He knew that the demon had done something to Kris. He just wished it wasn't that. He knew the pain and chaos it caused in his life. With both his mom and Jessica dying the way they did, and him knowing about Jessica's, he wished no one would have to deal with that, especially his little sister. He growled and came forth right outside the Seance ring. "How dare you…"
"Dare I? My boy, I did nothing a normal demon wouldn't have…" he replied. He put an arm around Kris' limp body. Her eyes and head never visible. John looked at his youngest child. She hadn't moved since they arrived. He checked for any sign of breathing. Sure enough, Kris was breathing, but at a very shallow pace. He had to do something. Then he remembered Kris' dagger in his pocket. He quickly grabbed it and threw it at the demon, while he was still occupied with Sam and Dean. He never saw it coming and it stabbed him in the right side of his abdomen. John knew he had better aim than that, but it was just a spontaneous thing.
"What the…", was all the demon could say as he felt the dagger hit him. There was a yellow flash and a blast of invisible energy that came from Kris. All three Winchester men fell back and hit something in the room. Kris's body fell and destroyed the seance ring. Yellow eyes pulled the dagger out of his body and dropped it. He stared at John, who was was still recovering from the blast. "You're gunna pay for that Johnny boy!"
He tried to step out of the ring, but something stopped him. He looked around the room but didn't find anything. Then he heard laughter from Dean. "Look under the rug, fucker."
"Wha…" the demon said as he uncovered the devil's trap below him. "You think something like that is going to stop me…", he growled. He pointed to Kris', who was laying face down outside the devil's trap. "Kristina, it's time for you to wake up now. I have a task for you.", he mocked. A light emitted from his extended finger and landed on Kris' back. He waited but nothing happened. He looked at her confusingly and then tried again. Still nothing.
Sam stood up and began to say an incantation. Yellow eyes looked at him, knowing what he was trying to do. He couldn't go back to hell, not now. He was so close to his goal. He had no choice to leave. He tried to get Kris to come with him. Her limp body was lifted off the floor and into the air. Dean jumped up and grabbed her. Pulling her down with him. Yellow eyes couldn't keep a good hold on her because of the spell beginning to work on him now. He had no other option but to leave her, and so he did. The power pulling her away from Dean had subsided, making him and Kris crashing down on one another. In that instant, Yellow eyes vanished the same way he had come, in the thick black smoke and fog.
After everything had settled back down, both Sam and John came rushing over to where Dean sat, trying to wake Kris up in his lap. She was breathing which was a relief to all three Winchester men. "Come on Kris, wake up…", Dean repeated several times. He looked over to his father and shook his head. "Dad, do you know what we can do…", Dean said quietly before he stopped. He felt Kris' body stir. He looked down at her as she moaned something about killing someone. Someone named Azazel. Dean looked up at Sam and then John.
"Kris…", Dean said quietly. He checked her face to see if there was any sign of her waking up. To his relief her eyes began to flutter. She slowly opened them showing him her green eyes, staring at him. She closed them again and smiled weakly. Slowly turning her head towards Dean, she whispered, "Hey Dean…"
"Kris… hey… you… you alright…"
"Yeah, just really tired… and hungry…"
"That's my girl", Dean chuckled. Sam let out the breath he was holding before rubbing the back of his index finger on her left cheek. She smiled and opened her eyes again to look up at Sam. He had tears in his eyes from what she could see. "Hey, Sam... I'm okay..."
"I'm just happy your back.", he replied. He moved over to Dean's right and sat down with him as John kneeled in front of Kris. "Hey kiddo…", he said softly. Kris too a deep breath before trying to get up. Dean helped her sit up, but she couldn't stay in the position for too long. Her muscles were weak and tired, so Dean and then Sam helped her sit. John began to check her to see if she was seriously hurt. She tried to wave him off, getting annoyed of his constant bickering. "John… John… John! I'm alright. Just need to take a few breaths, okay?"
"I'm just making sure you're alright, Kris. You've been gone for a while."
"More like fifteen hours, John. I'm just tired, can I get a burger or something and go to bed, please?"
"Yeah, I guess so, but you sure you don't feel…"
"What… different?", she question. Dean and Sam stared at her and then their father. John took a breath and nodded. Kris then nodded slowly. "I see… well I'm telling you I am fine. If you guys want to do some voodoo shit on me, fine. I've been through hell…", she stopped and laughed. "Literally… look I'm just tired now, okay." she said softly. She slowly got to her knees and then her feet. Standing for the first time on her own two, on her own will, made her feel relieved. She stretched a little before turning to Dean, Sam and John. She smiled at them as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Kris? What's wrong?"
"… nothing… its nothing…. I'm just happy to be back, thats all… its just so good to see you guys again", she said wiping her eyes before the tears in them fell. Sam and Dean didn't buy it and John just brushed it off. They all figured that it was time for her to rest anyways. They all needed it. Kris yawned and slowly walked over to a huge comfy chair sitting near the window. It was raining outside, making her relax even more. She settled in and sighed.
"Kris?"
"Yeah Sam?"
"You come and share a bed with me. You need it more than me anyways.", he said softly as he came over to her.
"I don't want to bother you, Sam. I know you have problems sleeping anyways.", she said before another yawn episode came. Dean and John walked over the seance ring and began clearing things up. Sam helped Kris over to his bed. She sat down and sighed heavily.
"Hey Kris?"
"Yeah?"
"What happened? I mean while Yellow eyes took you? Do you remember anything?"
"Other than being suffocated to death and then being overtaken by something…. I don't remember much…", she said staring off into the window. Sam watched her closely. She wasn't telling him something and it bothered him. "Kris whatever it is I want you to tell me…"
"Sam, I'm just tired. I keep saying that you guys won't let me sleep", she chuckled. Sam sighed and gave her a smile. "Can you blame us? You died Kris. We just want to know if you were okay."
"I know. But I'm here now and alive. I don't know how or why, but I'm here", she smiled. She set her hands on Sam shoulders and shook him playfully. "I'm not going anywhere, so while I'm not going anywhere, I would like to sleep."
"What about food? I thought you wanted a burger?", Dean butted in. Kris giggled as she started taking her shoes off. Dean came over and sat down next to her. "I was just about to head out and get some food for us."
"I'll eat, as long as you don't take too long."
"Alright. Burger fries and shake good for you?"
"Perfect", she said happily. "I'm going to take a shower then and get outta these cloths. God knows what I've down in them.", she laughed. "Dean, if you're not back by the time I'm out, then I'm going to bed"
"I'll be back before then.", he replied as Kris nodded. He walked to her and rubbed the back of his fingers down her cheek quickly before he left. Kris turned to Sam and sighed again. "Hey, what did you guys do with my bag?"
"I kept it with mine", Sam said as he pointed to the small table in the corner of the hotel. He stood up and grabbed his bag. Opening it, he pulled her bag out. Since her bag wasn't a military bag, it wasn't too big. Just big enough to hold both her cloths and gear in that bag. She smiled as he handed it to her. "Thanks, Sam. Glad you guys didn't get rid of it."
"Oh we were considering it.", Sam joked. Kris gave him her tongue before taking out some underwear, shorts and a big shirt. She grabbed her tooth brush, a rubber band for her hair, and some soap before throwing her bag on the floor and walking over the bathroom.
Turning the lights on and shutting the door, she dropped her cloths on the floor and set the rest of her stuff on the counter. Taking a deep breath she looked into the mirror. She was paler than she was before, the color had drained from her face. Her eyes had slightly dark circles under them. Her hair was a mess too. Laughing it off, she turned to the shower and set the water until it was just right. Striping down, she walked in the shower and began to wash herself of everything that had happened to her in the past fifteen hours.
As she closed her eyes and let the water run over her, she began to remember what had happened when she was with Yellow eyes. He had brought her to a dark and loud layer. The layer was filled with screams and what looked to be blood, blood all over the floor, the walls, everywhere.
Kris began to be dragged. Her body cold and dead as she was dragged deeper into the layer. She opened her eyes as she heard screams, screams of someone familiar. She looked up and gasped in shock. She raised her right arm weakly at the person as she was dragged away from her. Kris tried to cry out towards the person, but there was no sound coming from her mouth. She was dragged into a darker and more bloodied part of the layer and then suddenly dropped. She couldn't move so she just laid there. Then she heard Yellow eyes talk. "So Kris, shall we begin?"
"Begin what you Yellow eyed fucker!", she spat back.
"Oh now, no need for name calling. I have a name. My name is Azazel."
"So why are you telling me this? What are you gunna do with me?"
"I have big big plans for you, my dear. You'll see in due time.", he said with a smile. Then there was a sudden flash of yellow light aimed at Kris. Once the light hit her, there was a searing hot pain that ran through her body. She screamed out in agony before her vision and consciousness left her.
Kris snapped back out of the flashback as she heard Dean bang and yell from the other side of the door. "Hey, Ms. I-gotta-use-up-all-the-hot-water, foods here. Come out before it gets cold!"
"I'll be out in a minute", she replied as she quickly soaped her hair and body. A couple of minutes later, Kris walked out of the bathroom in shorts and a big shirt, drying her hair. She smelled the food and quickly walked over to where Dean had left hers. She grabbed her burger and began scarfing it down. Dean, Sam and John watched as she ate the burger within two minutes. She crushed the wrapping and threw it in the bag, before going for her shake and taking a long drag out of the straw. Once satisfied with the shake, she grabbed her fries and began eating them too.
"Hey Kris, maybe you wanna slow down there", Sam said with a chuckle. Kris stopped and stared at the men looking at her with smiles on their faces. She looked at them confusingly before looking back at her own food and then back at them. "What? I'm hungry?"
Sam chuckled and shook his head. It was scary how much of Dean she was becoming. She was definitely a Winchester, that was for sure. She had the temper, appetite and hunting skills to prove that much. Kris finished her fries shortly after and then grabbed her shake and headed over to Sam's bed. She finished the last of it before tying her hair up in a tight ponytail. She laid down and took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
Dean had finished soon after her, and walked over to the bed. He sat down slowly next her and smiled. She felt him sit next to her and opened her eyes. "What is it?"
"Just came to see what's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"You finished before I did. Now that's saying something"
"You're not jealous are you?", she giggled as she sat up. Dean laughed before he pushed her playfully down again. She sat back up and pushed him with her right hand on his chest. He winced as he felt her press on him. Immediately, Kris pulled back. "Dean?"
"It's nothing", he said grabbing his heart. Kris sat closer to him and pressed his hand with hers gently. Dean's chest was slightly swollen. Kris let his hand go and set it in her lap. "Dean, what happened?"
"Like I said, it's nothing."
"No its not… I did that… didn't I?", she said sadly. Dean looked up at her shocked. She knew about the whole thing. "Kris, how did you know what happened?"
"Because I saw it too." she began to cry. Dean's eyes widened. He looked over at Sam and his dad before turning back to Kris. "How did you see it."
"The dream… it wasn't a dream… it was Azazel telling me what he wanted me to do." she sobbed. She hung her head down as she let the tears fall. Dean moved over to her right side and took her in his arms. Trying to calm her, he rocked her back and forth, rubbing her back, anything to make her feel better. It seemed that the past day had, not only been grueling for them, but for her too.
When her crying had come to a stop, she pulled away from him and stood up. Dean watched his sister as she began pacing. She was trying to get her act together. Taking a deep breath, Dean asked her something that was on his mind. "Kris, who is Azazel? You mention him before…"
"Thats his name… Yellow eyes.", Kris said in a hush voice. She stopped and looked at him. She could feel Sam's and John's eyes on her. She didn't turn to them though. She kept her back towards them before she began pacing again. Dean watched her as he stood up and stopped her. "Kris you gunna make a hole in the floor, if ya keep that up"
"Sorry, its just that all this is a little overwhelming."
"What do you mean?"
"When I was down there… wherever that was… I saw someone I thought I would never see again."
"Who?"
"My mom…", she replied. Dean stared at her before he watched his father come up to them. "Kris… you saw Mel? Where? How?"
"I don't know. I was being dragged on the floor and I heard screaming. I looked over at them and there she was. Standing there…. With Mary…", she replied quietly. She watched John's face turn dark. Kris stepped back a step before John spoke up. "You… you saw Mary?"
"Yeah she and mom were shackled next to one another. Mom musta recognized me and started shouting. Because of them I wouldn't be here right now"
"I thought we did that", Dean asked.
"Well, yeah you did. But if it wasn't for them, I woulda been a demon right now."
"They spared you some time…" John said. He slowly nodded his head as he understood what she had said. Dean and Sam then did the same. "Why are they both their?", John asked. He was talking to himself as he tried to put everything together. "It doesn't make sense."
"Maybe because they're in his personal collection", a voice said from the window sill. All four winchesters spun to the window. What they saw before them surprised the three kids. "Hiya, Kris. How was hell?"
"Meg? Meg, what are you doing here?", Kris asked. She began walking towards her but was stopped by Dean. She looked up at her older brother before Meg got up from the sill and began walking over to the other people in the room. Dean pushed Kris behind him. She looked at him still confused. "Dean… what is it?"
"Oh he's just being the over-protective big brother, Kris. Don't you worry.", Meg answered for him. Kris looked over at her from behind Dean's right shoulder. Something in Meg's eyes and voice told her something was up. Then something in the back of her mind began to tingle. She looked at Meg more closely before gasping, "She's possessed".
Dean turned around to face her. Kris looked up at him and then at Sam and John behind her. "Are you sure? How can you tell?"
"Yeah, John I can. I can feel it. I can feel the presence of something demonic coming from her.", Kris said. Sam and Dean both got their guns out and pointed them at Meg. She frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. "Hey guys, thats not very nice."
"What are you doing here Meg?", Sam said. Meg looked over at him and winked. Dean watched the two but was distracted by Kris cursing behind him. He glanced a her before he saw something move in front of him. "What the hell was that?"
"Guys… something's here…", Kris said quietly. Dean turned around to their father when he heard him scream and pinned to the opposite wall. "DAD!", both Sam and Dean yell. Kris ran to her father but was thrown and pinned to another wall. She began to fidget against whatever was holding her. She had already been though this before and it didn't end pretty.
Dean and Sam were the last to be thrown and pinned to walls. Meg simply laughed as she walked over to all the Winchesters. "Aww… what's wrong, Sam? You followed me around and you didn't get any hint of me following you back?"
"Who were you talking to? At the alter in that building?", Sam huffed out.
"Sam what are you talking about?", John asked.
"When I followed her. We figured it was fishy that she just showed up when we only met her once.", Sam managed to say before Meg hit him in the stomach. He moaned in pain but was cut short with a Meg's lips on his. Kris began to struggle again but saw something come underneath the door. It was a shadow. It began to moving towards John and stopped in front of him. Suddenly John began scream out in pain. All three Winchester kids turned to their father but soon they began screaming as well.
John's shoulders had begun being clawed at by an invisible force. Dean's forehead had been three gashes on it. Sam's left cheek had gashes across it too. Then Dean's and Sam's chests were being torn apart.
Kris watched in horror as her family screamed out in pain. The scent of blood had filled the room as it dropped to the wooden floor. The thing was, why wasn't she being attacked. Meg must have read her mind because she turned at walked over to her.
"Leave them alone, Meg!"
"Sorry I have orders"
"Who? Who are you working for?"
"… Like you don't know"
"Azazel… but why? What has he promised you? Immunity from the death?", Kris asked. Meg laughed at her and then gave her a wink. Kris' face dropped when Meg's eyes changed. "Your possessing, aren't you?"
"You should have seen that one coming, Kris? I mean you are partially one of us."
"I am nothing like you sons of bitches!", Kris spat back. The screams had become even louder of the Winchester men. Kris looked over at her brothers and then father, who was coming in and out of consciousness. Kris couldn't take it anymore and screamed out in anger. Meg stepped back a she felt an energy come from Kris. Then suddenly, a popping sound came from now where and Kris was free. She fell forward and charged Meg head on. Both girls were on the floor punching and growling at each other.
"Let. Them. Go!", Kris said with each punch. The screaming in the background stopped, which made Kris turn towards her family. The force holding them subsided and they fell to the floor. Dean and Sam went over to their father trying to see if he was alright. The things attacking them had come over to where Kris had pinned Meg. She could feel them around her, growling at her. She slowly stood up facing her invisible enemies. Meg stood up too and hit her in the gut. "Daeva! Kill…", Meg screamed. She fell back from the recoil of the bullet but didn't fall down.
Kris looked over to see who shot Meg, and found that John had done it with Sam's gun. She looked back over to Meg who was walking towards her. She held a necklace in her right hand and rubbed the pendent. Dean looked over at Meg and Kris. He recognized the pendant that Meg was rubbing. It was the sign that appeared in the girl's apartment. "Kris! Break her necklace!", he yelled over. Kris did what her brother asked and ripped the necklace from Meg's neck. The growling around Kris stopped. She looked over and saw a couple shadows moving across the room over to where Meg was standing. She screamed out but was cut short when she and the force that attacked her went through the window.
Kris rushed over to John who was hurt the worse out of the men and helped him up. Sam helped Dean up as well before he and Kris gathered their things and headed out the door. Kris helped John walk as they headed over to their cars. Once there, Sam and Kris began opening the doors to the Impala.
"Wait, Sam."
"What? We have to get out of here, now."
"Yeah we do, but dad… you can't come with us."
"What? No, Dean we have to stay together, especially now. All of us are together now."
"Sam just listen to me for a sec,will ya." Dean yelled back. He turned to their father and stated. "Dad, you're more vulnerable when you're around us. We'll get you killed. I think it would be best if we split up again."
"Yeah me too." John replied. He looked over his children and smiled proudly. He walked over to Kris and pulled her into a hug. "I'm glad you're back, Kris. I'm so sorry."
"Ah, don't you worry about it, I'm good. You just worry about you"
"Dad, I think this is a bad idea. We want to help with the demon"
"And you will, Sam. We all will. This fight is just beginning. This is going to end. But for now, we have to split ok?"
"Yes sir", Dean and Sam said in unison. Kris just nodded. She was shivering now since she was still in her big shirt and shorts. "John, we'll keep in touch. I'm heading in the car."
"Alright. That goes for you too, Kris." John replied. She nodded and headed in the back seat of the Impala. John watched her before turning to his sons. "I want you guys to watch out for each other. Stay together."
"Yes sir" they replied in unison again. John smiled and patted both of them on the shoulder before turning to his truck and driving off. Dean let out his breath as he watched his father go. Sam nodded and headed to the passenger side of the Impala. Dean soon followed and got into the driver side. Kris was laying her head back onto the seat with her eyes closed. She smiled as she heard Dean start the car. "MAN! It is so good to be back. It's like I can breath again!"
"It's good to have you back." Dean replied as he stared at his sister through the rear view mirror. She saw her look back at him. He gave her a wink which made her laugh. She looked over at Sam who had a frown on his face. Kris rolled her eyes and ruffled the back of Sam's hair. He looked over at her and soon a smile grew on his face as well. "Good, the Winchesters are back in business!"
