Chapter 10

Jo couldn't sleep. She had that strange feeling you get when someone is watching you. She looked at the clock; it had just gone 3.00am. She rolled onto her back and rubbed her sleepy eyes. The space next to her was cold. She had to wonder where Dean was. She had thought he would be back by this time. Suddenly she got that, being watched, feeling again. She looked through the dark and saw a figure standing by the crib, which was right at the foot of the bed.

"Dean?" she said.

"Shh," Came their reply.

Immediately sensing something wasn't right she sat up and reached for her father's knife under her pillow. As she heard her daughter whimper she jumped up and lunged at the figure. She'd barely gotten up when she was slammed back into the wall that the head of the bed was pressed against. She was pinned, she couldn't move at all. She fought in vain as she was dragged up the wall and onto the ceiling. She wanted to scream but she couldn't. She could see straight into Elle's crib so could see that she was crying. She hated that Elle was going to have to watch her die. She glared at the set of yellow eyes looking up at her, smirking almost. God she hated them.

She suddenly felt a sharp pain, she managed to scream as she felt her stomach being sliced. She knew what was happening, she recognized it. There was nothing to do, but she still fought to free herself, even though it did no good.

Just as things were looking hopeless the door slammed open and Dean and Sam ran in. Straight away they both fired their shotguns at the figure standing by the crib. They watched as it ran across the room, diving through the window.

Dean looked up and saw Jo on the ceiling. "No!" he yelled.

Suddenly Jo fell, luckily landing on the bed beneath her. Sam reached into the crib and picked up Elle, quickly wiping the blood off her face. Dean quickly ran over to Jo. He grabbed the blanket and held it over Jo's bleeding stomach. She was gasping for breath and he could feel her warm blood seeping through the blanket and through his fingers.

"Hold in there baby." he said to her as he stroked her hair.

"Yellow…eyes…ugh…" she tried saying but clearly in too much pain.

"Shh" Dean said to her. He winced when she whimpered in pain. He could see she was trying not to cry and that seemed to make him cry.

Sam and Dean both spun around to look as they heard someone run into the room. It was Ellen. "What the hells going on?" she asked. "Oh God, Jo" she cried as she ran over to the bed, seeing the state of her daughter, she froze temporarily at the bed. Panic really kicked in when she saw all the blood.

"We need to get her to a hospital." Dean said quickly.

"And tell them what Dean, a demon did this to her?" Sam said.

"I don't care Sam! She'll die if we don't get her to one now." he said as he scooped her up. Jo instantly cried out in pain. "I'm so sorry, baby." Dean said as he carried her carefully but quickly across the room.

Sam drove the Impala whilst Ellen sat in the front holding a screaming Elle. Dean sat in the back with Jo in his lap. He still held the now scrunched up sheet over her wound, but the damn thing was soaked with her blood. Even in the dark he could see Jo paling as her blood continued to leak from her body. "You're gonna be okay." he said to her, "I promise you Jo. You're gonna be okay." he said again, kissing her head.

"I…I thought Sam was 6 months…when…yellow eyes killed your mom?" Jo said. Dean was just about able to understand her.

"Don't worry about that now. Just stay calm." he told her.

"I am calm.." she said laughing until she choked, spitting blood out of her mouth.

"Damn-it Sam, drive faster!" he ordered.

"Dean if I put my foot down any harder then we'll be flintstoning our way to the hospital." Sam said.

"Please Sam." Ellen begged as tears rolled down her cheeks as she kept a close eye on Jo.

"Dean I'm cold…are you cold…" Jo said.

Dean fought his tears back and shook his head. He knew he was loosing her and he wasn't sure how much closer the hospital was. "God, please..." he muttered as he began to pray for the first time ever in his life.

They had only gone a little further down the road when Jo began to say something Dean couldn't understand. "Hold on Jo." he said, guessing the loss of blood was messing with her head.

"Sam…Stop the car." she said as forcefully and as clearly as she could.

"We need to get you to the hospital Jo." Sam said, not even daring to slow down.

"Just please stop." she cried.

"Jo…" Ellen tried.

"Stop," Jo begged.

Reluctantly Sam pulled over at the side of the road. Ellen quickly passed Elle to Sam and turned around in her chair, leaning over the back of it to face Jo. "Baby we need to keep going." she said as she stroked her hair back off her face.

Jo just shook her head. "I can't…" she said. "I'm sorry mom." she said.

Ellen put her hand over her mouth and tried hard not to cry...more than she already was anyway. Sam sat watching, tears in his eyes. He gently tried to soothe his crying daughter.

Dean had been praying so hard that Jo would have stopped bleeding but as he lifted the sheet up slightly he was hit by the fact that his prayers had been ignored. Jo's blood continued pumping out like a hose pipe that had been left on. He quickly put the cloth back down.

"Jo, sweetheart, you have nothing to apologize for, but baby, we need to get to the hospital." Ellen said almost choking on her tears.

"No…we won't get there in time anyway. I wanna hold Elle." Jo said.

Sam quickly passed her over, gently placing her on the back seat next to Jo.

Jo managed to lift her hand up to Elle's face. She was able to stroke it, barely the way her hands, like the rest of her body were shaking. She just smiled at her. She didn't know what to say because she didn't want to say goodbye to her, instead she just looked into her eyes and Elle looked back into hers. Jo couldn't help but feel like Elle's determined eyes were trying to tell her something. She wished she could understand.

As Elle began to cry, Jo, kissed her on the head as she began to cry again sam lifted Elle away. Dean quickly leaned forward and kissed Jo. "we're gonna get to the hospital and you're gonna be fine." he said almost matter-of-factly.

Again she just shook her head. "No. It's seems so cruel..." she began, "I start the life everyone always wanted me to have and I get it snatched away. "she said, her voice becoming quieter and quieter and shaky as she cried.

"Baby hold in there." Ellen begged.

Jo coughed again bringing up more blood. Ellen took hold of her hand as she whimpered in pain. Dean held onto her tighter praying even harder – if at all possible- that the bleeding would stop.

His heart pounded faster against his chest as Jo began to gasp for breath, the gasps becoming shallower and shallower until finally...they stopped. Ellen stroked Jo's hand, "Jo, Jo, honey, say something, baby." she said as her tears burst their banks. She quickly put her hands over her face and began crying. Sam quickly pulled her onto his shoulder, allowing her to cry on that.

Dean just lifted Jo's body up and hid his face into her neck and silently cried his tears…
