Ch. 12
"Lastly Sammy, I want you and Dean to know that I love you both. And tell him I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry. Siempre listo."
He heard the loudest bang yet, could hear the door cracking open.
"Your friends are dead you little bitch."
He saw something go flying by Cali as she fired the shot-gun. He heard them hit, heard a snarling noise that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He tried to turn his head, finding he couldn't. Out of the shadows to the right he saw a flash of silver. A sword; and it went right by him. He watched in horror as it went through her. He could see its bloody tip protruding from her back. With a squelching noise her attacker pulled it out of her. She crumpled to the floor.
Sam woke up with a gasp. It had been as bad as the first time. And he knew for sure it wasn't over yet. He jumped out of bed, instinct telling him something was deeply wrong. He grabbed his pistol and headed for the door. In the pre-dawn light the house was eerily quiet. Then Dean's voice broke the silence.
"Dammit Sammy wake up!"
Sam went running into his brother's room. He was chained to the bed, wrists rubbed raw from struggling. Sam hurried over but Dean shook his head.
"No go after her Sam! Cali left. She tied me here and then she took off."
Dean sounded hurt. Sam didn't blame him. But he drew his knife and headed to Dean, slashing at his bonds.
"What are you doing? You need to quit wasting time and go after her! That's an order."
Sam shook his head. "No Dean."
"What? What are you talking about?" When Sam cut him loose Dean jumped out of bed. "We need to-"
"Dean would you shut-up and think? How many hours of a lead does she have on us? Where the hell did she go?"
"You know where. You had that dream."
"Yeah and I had it again. That's why I didn't hear you when you started screaming."
Dean finally paused, looking at Sam. "We need to find the Bryant hotel. We need to go after her."
"She doesn't want us to Dean."
Dean whirled on him. "I don't give a damn what she wants. I'm not losing her again."
Sam looked at his brother, wild-eyed and frantic. All of his usual cool was gone. Same felt something inside of him breaking. He didn't know that they could reach Cali in time. He honestly didn't think they could. But he knew they had to try. He nodded.
"Alright Dean. Let's go."
