"Wow so this is the place." Sam said entering into the fortress of the Men of Letters. "The hell is the light switch?" Dean wondered as he felt around. Finally finding it he flipped it and restored life to the Fortress of Letters. "Holy hell." Liz exclaimed as she looked in wonder. The fortress was still in mint condition despite not being in use for around 70 years. "This place is incredible. Books on all sorts of topics and comfy chairs to relax and do research in." Sam said with glee. "Shit we have a kitchen too!" Dean said happily. "We can now have home cooked meals." " Hey guys…there's a shooting range and gym here too!" Liz yelled from down the hall. "We can have training sessions." Walking around Liz came upon a hallway with many doors. Opening one she found out it was a bedroom. Running into the main corridor where the guys where she told the good news with excitement. "Guys…we have bedrooms. Our own rooms!" "Really…oh hell yeah." Dean said.
Exploring their new home the Winchesters unpacked their stuff and relaxed a ibit. Sam started to go through books and do some reading. Dean took a shower and picked out his room and move some of his stuff inside. Liz was busy making a feast for them all to have and christen the Fortress. "Hey boys dinner is ready." Liz called out. "Um awesome what you make?" Sam asked. There's broccoli casserole, Jambalaya with shrimp, chicken, and sausage, rolls, Caesar Salad, pork chops, rice and gravy, and chocolate cake and pie for dessert." She said with a giant smile. "Dear god Liz are you trying to make us explode and die happy?" Dean asked. "Of course I am. Now dig in.
After eating and relaxing Dean received a phone call from Kevin. "What?...you did! When?! Just now?! Oh hell yeah! We're on our way! Get to the car quick!" Dean ordered Sam and Liz running to the Impala. Driving to the boat Kevin was located on they burst in. "Kevin!" Dean bellowed. "Found him…dear god man what did you eat?" Liz asked as she witnessed Kevin vomit into the toilet. "I'm good. Oh god" Kevin said walking to his workstation. "So tell us what the big discovery." Sam said impatiently and excited. "I cracked the spell on Tablet. You have to speak it after you complete three trials which will close the gates of Hell forever. The first one is the only one I could decipher for now." Kevin stated. "So what is it?" Dean asked. "You must kill a hound of Hell and bath in its blood." Kevin read aloud. "Great so we go find a Hellhound and kill it. Great." Dean said jumping up. "We'll get you some supplies and be on our way. Sam get to the researching and find where a deal was placed and is up." Dean ordered.
After getting Kevin's supplies and finding a location where a deal was placed a decade ago, the Winchesters headed to a small town in Idaho. Driving up they made their way to a ranch and went to find the owner to see if they could figure out who signed the deal. "Hey pal who runs this joint?" Dean asked the mechanic working on the tractor. "I do." said the woman underneath as he rolled herself out from underneath the tractor. "You three here for the job?" she asked "Yes we're passing through and need some work before it's time for us to move on. We're headed to Maine and need to stop for a couple of days." Liz explained. " I see. Have you ever worked on a ranch or farm before? She asked "Yes of course. We're also fast learners." Sam said. "Hi there Ellie. You guys the new help?" He asked shaking their hands. "I'm Carl" he said introducing himself. "We'll see if they're up for the task" Ellie said. "Follow me." Ellie instructed. Leading them into the horse pen she showed them their living quarters. "The guys will sleep here. We rise for breakfast at 5 and dinner at 8 between those times you're mine. You miss will sleep here. Just so you know …the work is shit." Ellie said with a smile.
Having their first assignment the Winchesters began cleaning the horse pens and shoveling their droppings. "She wasn't lying when she said it was shit." Liz breathed hard as she gasped for air. "I hate these horses. You understand that… I hate you." Dean said eyeballing the horse he was next to. "It's not all bad. Sooner we find who signed the deal, sooner we get the Hellhound sooner we get to the next trial." Sam stated.
While they were working in the barn Ellie had a mild confrontation with her boss. They could see that tension was great between them. "Wow she's a piece of work isn't she." Sam said striking up a conversation. " Yeah she's a bitch. I don't know what Carl sees in her. She's the oldest in the family and almost as bad as the middle child. The youngest is the only one I can mildly tolerate." Ellie said touching her head getting a mild headache from just thinking about them.
After a couple of hours of work they settled down for dinner. "Aaaaggggghhhhh!" Hearing a scream everyone ran outside to see Alice standing over the body of Carl. He had his guts ripped out and legs were destroyed savagely. The police came and investigated the land trying to find what killed him. "Looks like it was some kind of animal attack, most likely a wolf." Said the sheriff. "This was no wolf. I've seen wolf attacks before. This was something bigger and more savage. It feels evil and pure." Ellie said looking intently at the body. "This is going to be rough. Everyone is coming tomorrow so be prepared for a hell of a day." She said.
The next day came and the other siblings arrived along with their father. "That's their dad says he's a traditional man with strong values even though he's on his 5th marriage and she's a ¼ his age." She said pointing at the old man in a suit and cowboy hat. "That's Cindy used to be a country singer until she started hitting bottle hard and doing serious blow." "Damn." Said Sam. "And that's Margie the youngest lives in Paris mildly annoying at times." Ellie said explaining everyone. "Ok I'm going to need two of you to be inside one serving drinks and the other cooking some of the food. The third outside on the pit." Ellie said laying out the agenda and plan. "Ok then you two have fun inside with the family. " Dean said patting their shoulders and laughing. That night they worked hard to please the family and deal with their horrible personalities. "Can't believe Carl is dead." Margie said. "I know it's hard to believe." Alice replied dryly. "I bet Margie misses him after her night with him." Cindy said laughing. "What is she talking about?" Alice asked Margie. "He and I had a one night stand but it was before you guys got together." Margie said stammering. "Enough of your bickering already." Noah said. "Shut it up old man." Cindy spat. "Not on your life." He shot back. "Oh my god I need more wine!" Cindy yelled. "Coming" Sam replied walking to her side of the table and poured her a drink filling the glass halfway. "Seriously Lurch?" Cindy said looking at Sam with angry eyes. Seeing her expression Sam filled the glass fully and satisfied her famine for alcohol. Walking back in the kitchen Sam met with Liz and Ellie. "What kind of meds do you take that makes you not kill them all?" he asked. "I hunt deer and rabbits and pretend it's them." Ellie whispered. "That works" Liz said amused. Walking outside Ellie went to check on Dean. "Hmm those look good." She said looking at the sizzling BBQ. "Why thank you." Dean replied with a smile. "I love a man who knows how to handle his meat." She said looking him dead in the eyes and then at the barn where their rooms were and back at Dean.
When dinner ended Noah and Margie went out to find the wolf they believed killed Carl. Seeing them leave Liz ran after them trying to get them back inside. "Where the hell are you going?" Liz asked. "To get the beast that killed Carl." Noah said angrily. "It's not safe out here." Liz protested. "Yeah for it." Margie said with fierceness. "Fine I'll come with you." Liz said. "You know anything about hunting?" Noah asked. "I've been doing it since I was seven." Liz said grabbing the rifle Margie handed her. Walking into the woods they moved very quietly. Hearing a noise to her left Liz split off from the two and walked down the trail moving carefully. She then heard small noise and turned to see Noah aiming his gun at her. "Watch it girl." He huffed. Instantly they heard a horrible bone chilling shrill. "Margie!" Noah yelled running towards the sound. He and Liz arrived to see Margie being ripped apart by a Hellhound. "Get back!" Liz raised her arm and emptied her rifle hitting the Hellhound in the back and leg and then bolted with Noah in tow. Getting him in the house she threw him into the couch. "What the fuck was that?" he asked "It was a Hellhound." Sam said. "What?" Cindy asked. "Hellhound! One of you sold your soul to a freaking demon ten years ago and now their pet has come to collect." Liz explained. "You're insane" Alice stated. "Oh really. Ten years ago did anyone here make any deals with a person. Someone who's maybe quick talking or something?" Liz asked. "Well there was that guy Margie talked to. He came around asking things about us. Thinking about it after he talked to Margie he disappeared and the next day we struck oil." Cindy said. "Well there's our answer." Sam said. "Listen everyone stay here you're on lock down." He instructed.
Locking them in the house and putting salt and golfer dust on the windows and in the doorways they made sure that the Hellhound would stay out. Inside the barn Dean went to check on Ellie. Walking into her room he found her dancing and drinking. "Wow nice moves." He told her. "Why thank you. It's about time you showed up." Ellie said seductively. "Oh really?" Dean asked. "Yes really." She said. Grabbing his collar she pulled him in for a kiss and took off his jacket. They held it for forty seconds. She then let go of him and jumped into the air and wrapped her legs around him. Embracing him once more they began to kiss even more passionately. Using gravity she pushed Dean onto the bed and ripped his shirt off and the two began to have occasion. For 30 minutes they made sweet passionate love, going up and down, left and right, and all around. Ellie rolled over and put Dean on top of her and lifted him in the air and finished with a kiss against the wall. "Wow that was incredible." Ellie expressed putting pants back on. "That it was" Dean said smiling agreeing with her. "I needed that very much. One last pleasure before the end Ellie said kissing Dean one final time. "Look I better go check on the others" Dean said putting his shirt back on and walking out grabbing his jacket. Closing the door he put salt on the ground.
"Hey how's everything going on in there?" Sam asked. "Ok." Dean said. "Ok…you were in there for over half an hour what the hell were you doing Dean?" Sam asked. "Her." Liz said looking at her brother pissed. "Don't look at me that way." Dean told her. "Seriously you her while we're hunting a Hellhound." Liz spat with fire in her eyes. "Hey she wanted it. Best 30 minutes of my life." Dean said smiling. "Gross we don't want details." Liz said "We now have to find another Hellhound." Sam said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Actually we don't. Ellie said after we had…um… relations that she needed one last pleasure before the end. Sounds like something someone dying would say." Dean said. "Makes sense." Sam said. "Ok then you two get back in there and I'll get back in Ellie. I mean back to Ellie and see what happened." Dean said. Walking back he received a phone call. Answering it was Kevin who told him of a way to see a Hellhound. Walking back he told Sam and Liz the information and the three looked for glasses and put them through holy fire to enable them to see the Hellhound. "Alright I'll stay near Ellie and kill this thing while you two stay inside." Dean ordered. "Why do you have to kill it?" Sam asked. "Because I'm the oldest and I said so." Dean said coldly. "Like Hell Dean." Sam said stopping his brother from walking away. "Sam! We've been down this road before and it ends with death. I'm the oldest so I'm taking this burden." Dean yelled with fury. "That doesn't mean anything." Liz argued. "Maybe I should go." She said. "Fuck no! We just found you or rather you found us and you expect us to send you into the hound's den? Out of the fucking question. Now both of you march in there and stay there and if either of you come out I'll shoot you in the leg.
After getting into the house and securing it Liz and Sam watched as Dean searched for the Hellhound. All went quiet and Dean listened only to the mind movement of the wind. Dean suddenly heard footsteps and breathing. "Shit. Taking his angel blade he swung hard as the Hellhound tried to tackle him. Wrestling with it Dean did his best to defeat the great beast. Seeing his brother in trouble Sam went out to help him. The Hellhound threw Dean against the barn wall and Sam ran to help. "Stay away Sam." Dean instructed his little brother. "No!" Sam yelled pulling out his knife ready to fight. Instantly he heard a bang and went down. Looking over at Dean he saw him with his gun out and it smoking. Looking down he saw his leg bleeding. " Hey over here bitch!" He yelled sending a shot out at the Hellhound. Racing towards Dean it leaped only to be tackled by Sam who wrestled with it and spilt its guts all over him killing the beast. "NO!" Dean yelled. Racing outside Ellie saw the Hellhound on the ground dead. "Oh my god was is that?" she asked. "Hellhound it was coming for you. Ten years ago you made a deal didn't you?" Dean asked. "Yes I did…it was with a man with an accent and black suit. Said he was the King in his department or something a Mr. Crowe or something." She said. "Crowley?" Dean said shocked "Yeah that's' it. I did it to save my mother. She was very ill. Now she's retired. " Ellie said. "What' happens now?" Ellie asked. "We make you a hex bag and you start running." Dean said. "Ok I'll get my things."
Packing their things and tending to Sam's wound the siblings had a heated argument. "Why the fuck did you shoot me?!" Sam roared. "Because I told you if you came outside that I would. Listen my job is to protect you, both of you and I'm not letting you die doing some trial." Dean said with a fiery voice. "So it's your way or the highway?" Liz asked "Damn straight." Dean retorted. "To hell with that. I've done the first trail and I'm seeing this through. You see this as a suicide mission and I don't. Now get back and let me do this." Sam spoke through his teeth. Saying the incantation he activated the First Trial and fell to his knees with his right hand glowing. "UGH!" he yelled. Rushing to him Liz and Dean tried to help but he motioned them to get back. " I'm fine guys. I'm fine." He said.
