Chapter 10:

After grabbing a drink he drove towards Rose and Mike's house. Slamming the Impala's door he ran up the porch steps opening the screen door he headed in.

Rose was sat in the living room reading and Mike was at the table working on a carburettor, 'Hey Dean.'

'Hey Mike.'

They chatted for a few minutes it had been a long time since Dean had seen Mike and mostly the conversation was about hunts Sam and Dean had been on.

While Mike had given up hunting he was still interested in what had been going on even if all that Sam and Dean had been on recently were simply spirit activity and exorcisms.

Dean asked the question he had been dying to ask, 'Ok so who told Bobby about the demon army?'

The room went silent until Rose stood up and moved into the kitchen.

Grabbing the chair next to Mike she spoke her voice calm, 'Didn't Bobby tell you I have dreams too?' Dean shook his head so she carried on, 'It was about the time Tess had hers.'

Dean listened as Rose described what she had seen in her dream and it corresponded to Tess's.

'We called Bobby because Dean I'm not meaning any disrespect but your family has been troubled with demons and we needed to make sure that we weren't reading too much into it.'

Dean shook his head it all seemed too much to take in. 'We called a few hunters in places like Ohio and Chicago ourselves they said small demonic omens the usual nothing of note.'

'Ok well what did Bobby find out?' Mike stood up and poured another coffee for all of them.

'He found out that there were subtle omens all like in the local area such as the hospital Mary was in.'

Dean nodded it made sense. 'That's why Bobby got us to call you and mention the whole getting supplies that kind of thing we hoped that Trin would have told you all by now officially and all of this would just be a simple collection we didn't know that none of you knew what had happened.'

Dean took a long drink.

'Well looks like it's a simple collection and I've got to get back home.' They all stood up getting ready for Dean to leave.

'I packed you some food Dean and a thermos of coffee we didn't want you to leave now but we know you!'

Smiling up at him she hugged him, 'Take care Dean. Just remember if you need to stop take a break ok?' Dean nodded. He loved how they fussed over him.

'Take care of yourselves too. Oh and your daughter,' Dean smirked and raised an eyebrow, 'Just so you know she wore that blouse too.'

Smirking at them he hugged Rose and shook Mike's hand before getting into the Impala.

Tess hit the main roads dialling Bobby's number she smiled as he picked up, 'Thought I wasn't going to be able to catch you.'

'Yeah I just literally pulled up. What's up?' She heard him stepping out of the car and slamming the door behind them, 'I got a message off Dean so how far away are you?'

'I'm about half an hour away.' Bobby chuckled.

'Ok well I'll make a pot of coffee just keep calm ok?' Muttering yes they hung up together.

Trin sighed and struggled to speak, 'I kept this from you because I didn't want to worry you but I guess I've just made it worse.'

Placing her hands on the table she stared at him. Sam's face looked worried, 'I'm sorry Sam.'

He frowned, 'Sorry for what?' He reached for her hand but she moved them away.

'I've brought something on us and I don't know how to fix it.'

She clasped her hands together and looked at the table, 'Do you remember me telling you when we first met that I don't always stay in one place for long?' looking up Sam nodded, 'Well that was before I met you. Things changed. I changed for the better.

I never thought he would find me. I'd been left in peace with you for so long I forgot about him and all that he told me he would do.

'Sam's eyes still showed concern and confusion she couldn't bear to see him like that. 'I'm sorry Sam. I've brought a demon into our lives.' Sam's mouth opened then closed.

'How?' She felt the tears slide down her face.

Relating the story to Sam was painful enough having to witness the look on his face was even worse. As she finished she whispered, 'I'm so sorry. I should have told you.'

There was a deadly silence all that they could hear was the ticking of the clock.

'Sam say something.' He stood up and headed towards the sink. He clenched the sides, 'Please.' She sobbed louder.

'Say something like what? That all of this will be alright that you not telling me about this and keeping things from me that everything will be fine.'

He turned to look at her, 'I know it was a while ago when all of this happened then but you could have told me about him turning up in the hospital. We told each other everything.'

'How can I have told you all about this Sam? Your Mum was murdered by one of those sons of bitches as was Jess and your dad. Don't tell me how you think I could have told you about all that when everyone you love has been murdered by a demon. Sam I didn't want you to have all of this hanging over you with everything else that has happened. I was hoping he would leave me alone and now he's here.'

She hated throwing all of that back in his face but all of these things were just ebbing at the surface.

Sam stared at her face, 'I know you are scared but what did you expect? You should have told me or at least hinted.' She nodded.

Moving towards her he kissed her on the face pulling her into his arms, 'We can all talk about it when Dean get's back. Trust me it will be over soon.'

He swallowed he didn't know what else to say so he just held her tight.
