HuntressofEvil
Chapter Ten
Dean was sitting by his car just outside watching the cars go by on the highway. He wondered what Hannah would do with the ring, but tried to push the thought out of his mind and focus on getting Amanda back safely. No matter what he did, his thoughts always came back to giving Hannah the ring. He hoped that she would take it. It took Dean a long time to even decide to buy the ring and when he did, he was absolutely sure that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Hannah. He also knew that the only way she would take him back would be if he changed his ways… and Dean was willing to do that.
Hannah came out of the room a few minutes after Dean did. He turned towards her and looked at her left hand. He saw the ring shining on her finger. He made a move to hug her, but she stopped short and just took his hands.
"Okay, if I take this, will you promise me that you will stop hitting on other girls?" Hannah gave her ultimatum with her eyes fixed on Dean. He knew she was reading his mind.
"Of course. I wouldn't have given you the ring if I wasn't willing to change." Dean said, "I love you and I can't tell you how sorry I am for hurting you."
"I know. I forgive you." Hannah said finally giving Dean a hug.
He embraced her tightly' happy that she didn't leave him. "You just didn't want to end up like Amanda right?"
"What do you mean?" Hannah asked loosening her grip a little.
"Well, you didn't want to possible get pregnant before we got married." Dean said as if he was reading her mind.
"I guess not when I see the train wreck she's become." Hannah said releasing herself from Dean.
"She's happy Hannah." Dean said not quite sure.
"She's just good at hiding her pain when she wants to." Hannah said, "But in her subconscious, she was bottling up her emotions. One day they over flowed and all she could even think about was if she was pregnant. The more she thought about it, the less rest she got which meant the more tense she got."
"She seemed fine." Dean said with a frown.
"Like I said, she's good at hiding her pain. By the time I found out she was hurting it was too late to do anything to help her." Hannah said, "She didn't want you guys to know anything until we were certain."
"You think she's even happy that she's pregnant?" Dean asked and hoped that Hannah would say yes.
"I don't think so." Hannah said, "She wants to hunt now as long as she's with Sam. She's afraid the baby will get in the way and anyway you can't hunt with a baby hanging around."
"There are other options for them though." Dean said, "I'm sure there's a family out there that would take care of the baby."
"Amanda was thinking that too." Hannah said, "But she wasn't sure that she'd be able to say good bye."
"Well, let's not pump the gun." Dean said, "We still have to save them."
Hannah nodded and they went back inside where Sam was sleeping peacefully next to Amanda who was equally as peaceful. Hannah wondered what her sister was doing at that moment.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Since the Leithifold couldn't cross the railroad tracks, Amanda just sat on the other side to keep an eye on it while she used Sam's computer to make sure Hannah and Sam were telling her the truth and they weren't just mirages or a trap set by the monster. It tried over and over again, but the Leithifold couldn't find any weak spots in the iron and it cried out in pain each time.
"What, you can't make that go away like you made the tree go away?" Amanda asked with an angry tone.
The Leithifold just growled at its meal safely on the other side of her fortress.
"Then shut the Hell up." Amanda said going back to work as the Leithifold kept trying to get at her.
Amanda went back online and astonishingly, all of Sam's information just appeared on all the web sites she already tried. Another trap or helpful information? Everything that Sam and Hannah had told her was on the web sites, so she had no choice but to trust the voices of her companions. When she finally closed the lap top, Amanda had to figure out how she was gonna find an iron knife or bullets. So, she was forced to leave the Leithifold on the other side of the tracks and she wasn't sure if it could teleport over the tracks and come after her again. But it stayed on its side until Amanda couldn't see it any more and it couldn't see her.
Amanda walked as fast as she could with her old and new injuries. The fall she took from the tree had split open her stitches and she tried desperately to stop the bleeding. When she got to the first town, she looked for either a gun shop or a hardware store. She knew they sold scrap pieces of iron at hardware stores and thought that it would be her best bet to look their first. Since she was in it's world, the Leithifold probably took away gun shops. The town had one hardware store, so Amanda walked in and quickly searched for iron.

"Bobby, there's nothing in this book about what happens to a woman in the alternate universe if the Leithifold is killed." Dean complained after reading the thick book cover to cover.
"That's because a Leithifold has never been killed and no women have ever come back from the alternate universe." Bobby answered on the other end of the phone.
Dean rolled his eyes, "So what are we supposed to do Bobby? Hope that Amanda can kill the Leithifold and pray that she doesn't get stuck in their forever?"
"Sometimes hoping and praying is all you can do, Dean." Bobby said and Dean didn't like that.
"Damn it Bobby there's gotta be something." Dean practically yelled over the phone which woke up Sam.
"Did I miss something?" Sam asked sitting up.
Hannah was sitting in the chair he usually occupied, "Dean's trying to figure out if Amanda will get stuck in the other world, but Bobby doesn't know and there's nothing in the book he gave me."
Sam' eyes widened, "Anything else I should know?"
Hannah thought for a second, "Dean and I are engaged." She said showing his her ring.
Sam couldn't believe it. Dean was never one to commit to anything except a hunt. "Congratulations."
"Do you feel better now that you're rested?" Hannah asked sounding maternal again.
"How long was I asleep for?" Sam asked rubbing his eyes.
"Five hours." Hannah said, clearly she needed some sleep as well. She had bags under her eyes and thank God she was sitting because Sam thought she would pass out if she stood up.
"Maybe it's your turn to get some rest." Sam said getting up from the bed and letting her lay down.
Hannah cuddled up with her sister and quickly fell asleep. Dean was still on the phone trying to figure something out with Bobby.
"How's it coming?" Sam asked his brother.
"Not too good Sammy." Dean said really not wanting to tell Sam the details.
Sam sighed, "I'm gonna go out and take a walk. Do you need anything?"
"Maybe just bring back some food for all of us." Dean said just realizing that they hadn't eaten in days.
"Alright, I'll be back soon." Sam said exiting the room.
The closest fast food restaurant was about a mile away, so Sam walked slowly. He hadn't been out of the motel room since Amanda was taken and he was in desperate need of some fresh air. When he got to the store, he bought three burgers, three bottles of Pepsi and a box of doughnuts just in case they got hungry later. He paid for the food and walked outside.
The store that he walked out of was right off of the highway. There should have been cars and people all over the place. Well, there were cars and people, but Sam got a chill down his spine when he saw that every one and everything was frozen in time. He went back inside, but the cashier that he had paid less than a minute ago was now lying dead on the ground. Sam looked around the store and saw himself standing by the coffee machine.
"Hi Sam." The clone said with a sly grin on his face.
Sam dropped his bag of food, "It's you isn't it?"
"Well, you don't have a twin brother do you?" The Leithifold said not making a move.
"I thought you don't leave a meal." Sam said wondering what the creature was doing here.
"Oh, I'm just leaving her temporarily." The Leithifold said taking a few steps toward Sam. He backed away from the monster. "You see, I had her in the perfect trap, and then you had to come and spoil my fun. Now she knows too much about me and I'll have to kill her way too quickly."
"Now that she knows exactly how to kill you, she will." Sam said trying not to show the creature how afraid he was.
"Will she?" It asked, "She nor you know that she won't get stuck in my world that I created for her forever. It'll drive her crazy and maybe she'll wish I had killed her. But since she killed me, there will be no way for her to get out on her own. And in this world, she'll be in a coma for the rest of her life. You won't be able to kill her body or your baby."
Sam's eyes started to water, "Why have you come here?"
"Just wanted to make sure you knew that you and Hannah and Dean will not win against me." It sneered, "If I live, Amanda dies. If I die, so does Amanda. It's a lose-lose situation for you. Think about that."
With those final words, the Leithifold departed back to his world with Amanda. Time started back up and Sam got out of the store before any one had a chance to come in and find the dead cashier. But he was certain some one would have seen him and that meant they had to leave. After walking a while away from the store, Sam fell to him knees and sobbed. He kept thinking about what the Leithifold had told him. He would never see Amanda again and their baby would never breathe air into it's lungs. He tried as hard as he could to believe that there was still hope for his girl to wake up. But seeing as how neither Dean nor Bobby could figure out if she would, believing what the Leithifold said was the only option. Sam forced himself from the ground and finished his hike back to the motel to tell Dean about his encounter.
