Lara's POV
Seeing Tyler at prom after Jess told me he wouldn't be able to make it was a huge shock. What was an even bigger shock is that I didn't want him here. It's not I don't like him and don't want to see him it's that I knew that him being there meant Dean would leave. Lara get a grip! Of course you wanted Dean to stay he had left for a year it's nothing more than that.
I look around and I know it's no use, Dean has already left. I feel a little pang on my heart. Stop it Lara. You are being stupid. I focus back on Tyler and kiss his cheek. "I am so glad you could make it Tyler." I say to him.
He leans down and kisses my lips. "Of course babe. I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Jess told me what Sam did. He's a bit of idiot sometimes." He says with a laugh, but I don't like him calling Sam an idiot even if he is one.
If I thought everyone was focused on me before they definitely are now. It's not every day that someone changes date mid prom. I introduce Tyler to my friends and many of the girls give me jealous snarls. I really don't care what they think though. I will be out of this joint in a month and hopefully hunting with Dean.
After prom Tyler escorts me back to the limo and we take it to the hotel. I still don't understand why Jess insisted that I get a hotel after prom. I honestly think it's to prove a point to Sam that I am grown up and a responsible adult. I take out my overnight bag and Tyler breezes by the front desk. I can only assume Jess has already arranged everything and he had the key.
I follow him to the elevator and I'm shocked when we get out on the top floor and walk to one of only three doors up there. He opens the door and I am even more shocked to see that Jess had booked a suite. I can't help but laugh at the fact this is all on Sam's credit card. He deserves it that bastard.
Once he shuts the door Tyler grabs my arm and spins me around and kisses me. I kiss him back missing this. He continues to kiss me has he walks me backwards to the bed where he lays me down and covers me with his long body. I put my hand on his chest and push him up. "Tyler." I say and wait for him to look at me. Once he does I talk again. "I don't want to send mix messages but I'm not having sex tonight."
Disappoint floods his eyes but he pushes it away quickly. "That's fine Lara. I just missed you that's all. Can we still kiss?" I respond by pulling him back down to my lips. We continue like this for awhile and I even let him unzipped my dress and touch my breasts but that's as far as I am willing to let it go.
I'm not sure how much time passes but I reluctantly separate from Tyler. Honestly a few hours of making out with him makes me regret promising my angels I wouldn't have sex. I give him one last kiss and go to my bag and pull out my pajamas and head to the bathroom to change. I can hear him let out a frustrated sigh. I think he hoped I would change my mind. When I come back out he has changed into his pajamas to and is in bed. I climb in next to him and rest my head on his chest and fall asleep.
I can hear Tyler yelling for me to wake up but I can't. I need to stay under just a bit longer. I need to get the information I need from the dream. "Lara please wake up you are scaring me!" He yells again. I can't wake up yet.
That's when I hear my angels. Tyler doesn't know they are here but they are, they always are when I'm not when Uncle Bobby, Sam, or Dean. I feel Cas' presence on my forehead but I brush it off. "Gabriel I can't get her to wake up!" Uncle Cas yells at Uncle Gabe. I can hear them through my state but I can't seem to wake up. "It's alright Castiel Tyler is going to call Dean."
He's here in me. He's killing them. He's evil. He has yellow eyes.
I need to get more information and I go back into my never ending nightmare. Before I go back under I hear Tyler yelling into the phone. "Jess I don't know what to do. She is asleep but she's trashing around, screaming, and crying! Please send Sam or Dean."
I have a bit of time before one of them show up I know that. I slip back into the dream fully trying to get the information I need. I know from experience that some of these dreams are real.
My heart is breaking. The death of that child is just too much. He is roasting alive. I have never seen anything like it before. I try to fight him and save the child but I can't. I can only watch them burn. I didn't know it was possible to smell in a dream but it is. The smell of burning flesh is sickening. The demon in excited by the smell and it licks its lips in excitement. Through his essence I can smell what he likes. It smells has mouthwatering to him has a memorial day barbeque does to me but I want to throw up. The sound of crackling flesh will haunt me in my waking hours I can feel it.
Focus Lara. Get the information you need. I look around for anything that can tell me where this dream is. I can't tell where I am until we walk by the kitchen counter. There is mail sitting there thankfully. 415 West Maple St. Cleveland Ohio. I got it. I can come back.
"Lara wake up!" I hear being screamed at me. I come to in a thrash of anguish. I scream out louder than I ever had and I choke on a sob but there are strong arms around me. I allow them to guide me back to reality. "It's alright now squirt. I got you. You are safe. I got you nothing can get you." He whispers reassuringly into my ears has he rubs my head.
Dean's POV
This isn't the way I thought the evening would go. After Jess and Sam had me go to prom I didn't think I would end up at the bar. I'm enjoying a drink and I'm talking up the girl next to me. She's fairly attractive and I think she is probably going to be inviting me to her place any minute now.
Before I can get us another drink my phone starts to ring and I pick it up seeing it's Sam. "Hey Sam what's up?" I ask him casually.
"Dean! It's Lara! Tyler called and she's stuck in a dream and he can't get up! We are headed to the hotel please come!" Lara is in trouble. "Be there in five minutes Sam." And I hang up the phone. I don't say anything to the girl who just a few minutes ago had been my focus and I throw down some money and run out of the bar.
I know I am going has fast as I can but it doesn't seem nearly fast enough. I pull into the hotel and I know it's only taken me 5 minutes but it feels like an eternity since Sam called me. I don't bother parking my car and leave it out front of the main door and run inside.
Sam texted me the room number and I hit the elevator button but it's not coming fast enough so I find the stairs and run up them faster than I knew I could. I get to their floor and I bang on the door but Tyler opens it up before I have to hit it again. "Thank God!" He exclaims.
I take a moment to examine what is going on around me. Tyler is pale and shaky. Lara is on the bed. The blankets and the sheets are ripped to shreds. She has pieces of the sheets bawled up in her little hands. Her face is pale but she is shaking and sweaty. I can see blood on her palms from her fingers digging into her hands and blood on lip where she must have bit down. Her next scream of pain brings me to action.
I run over to the bed and jump in next to her. I start to shake her and pull the shredded sheets from her hands. "Lara, I'm here. It's Dean. You need to wake up squirt." I say into her ears has calmly has possible. But she isn't responding. I know her dreams are bad but they usually aren't this bad. I can usually get her out of them. "Lara wake up!" I say more forcefully.
Her body shakes and for a moment she is completely still. Then she comes to. She lets out a blood curdling scream then she starts to sob. It's unlike any sob I have ever heard come her mouth. The sob is the sound I imagine God would have made when he found that Adam and Eve had betrayed him. Why did that idea come into my head? "It's alright now squirt. I got you. You are safe. I got you nothing can get you." I whisper into her ear trying to calm her down. I rub her head and back like I used to when she was a kid.
There's another knock on the door and Tyler runs to answer it and I see Jess and Sam coming in behind me. I look at Sam's hands and I am glad to see her dream journal. He hands it to me and gives me a nod. He is going to take Tyler and try to calm him down. Jess looks at Lara and I know she wants to comfort her but Sam pulls her away with him and takes Tyler to the couch in the other room.
"Lara, Sam brought you dream journal. Do you want to write in it?" I ask her, hoping it will bring her back to reality. She shakes her head and I move to pull away but she grabs me back to her. Without letting go I maneuver her to get a pen off the night stand.
Lara keeps her face buried my chest but she shakily grabs her journal and opens it on her lap and grabs the pen like a life line starts to scribble into her book like a mad woman. I don't look down and read what she is writing even though I would give my legs to know what has upset her so much. After writing furiously for 10 minutes she rips out a piece of paper and shoves it into my hands.
I look down and I read 415 West Maple St. Cleveland Ohio. "Lara what is this?" I ask her looking down at her. That's when I notice that the stress of the dream has caused some capillaries in her eyes to burst and they are blood shot. It's never been this bad before.
She tries to speak but it comes out has a sob. She takes a minute and gets herself back together. "Dean…he is there… go now." She says to me through sobs. I shake my head no. I am not leaving her like this. "GO!" She screams at me while she holds onto my tighter.
I give her one more squeeze and let her go. She allows me to move and I stand up. "Go find him." She says then she lays back in the bed and rolls on to her stomach and starts to sob again. I leave the bedroom and I find Sam trying to explain to Tyler what just happened.
"So this happens a lot?" Tyler asks still kind of confused. Sam shakes his head yes. "She has been plagued with night terrors since she was a little girl." Sam tells him. Sam sees me and jumps up over to me. I see Jess slink out and go to Lara. I am glad she will be there for her.
I show the address to Sam. He looks at me confused. "Lara said he is there and I need to go. I don't know what she means but I am going. I'll call you when I get there and see what is wrong."
Sam shakes his head at me and runs his hands over his face. "Call us in a few hours in case I need to put Lara on the phone with you. You are the only one who could ever truly calm her down after one of her dreams."
I agree and I head out. I need to know who he is and how she knows he is there.
