The Damage in Your Heart
Chapter 14
Dean, Haley, and Sam entered the hell house with their guns and flashlights out and started looking around.
"I barely have any skin left on my palm." Dean complained and Haley laughed.
"Do you wanna take this one or should I?" Haley asked her Uncle, laughing.
"I'm not touchin' that line with a ten-foot pole." Sam said and Dean shined his flashlight in Sam's face . Sam grimaced, and they moved into another room. They saw the door that lead into the cellar.
"So, you think old Mordechai's home?" Haley asked nervously.
"I don't know." Sam said while Dean shrugged.
"Me neither." They heard someone say. The Winchester's quickly turned and aimed their guns at the two men who turned out to be Ed and Harry, who started to jump and scream.
"Whoa, whoa! Hey!" Ed shouted, throwing his hands in the air followed by Harry.
Sam let out a breath. "What are you tryin' to do, get yourself killed?"
"We're just tryin' to get a book and movie deal, okay?" Ed replied. And the heard the sound of sharpening knives coming from behind the door. "Oh, crap. Uh, guys, you wanna go open that door for us?"
" Why don't you?" Haley asked. A moment later, Mordechai busted through the door. They shot at him several times, and he dissolved into a cloud of smoke. Dean, Sam, and Haley left the room to look around.
"Oh, he's gone. He's gone." Ed said, dumbfounded.
"Did you get him?" Harry asked.
"Oh, yeah, they got him." Ed answered Harry.
"No, on camera, did you get him on camera?" Harry pointed to the video camera in Ed's hand.
"Uh, I…." Harry grabbed the camera from Ed. And all of a sudden, Mordechai appeared and destroyed the camera with his axe causing Harry to fall to the floor, and Mordechai disappeared. Dean, Haley, and Sam enter the room again.
"Hey. Didn't you guys post that BS story we gave you?" Dean asked with a furrowed brow.
"Of course we did." Ed said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Yeah, but then our server crashed." Harry said, still trying to catch his breath.
"Yeah." Ed nodded.
"So, it didn't take?" Dean asked irritated at the two men in front of him.
"Uh…."Ed turned his head away from Dean, not wanting to make eye contact.
Dean held his gun up. "So, these guns don't work?"
"Yeah." Ed squeezed his eyes shut, waiting for Dean to hit him.
"Great. Sam, any ideas?" Dean turned to Sam who was looking very annoyed.
"We are getting out of here." Harry said
"Yeah." Ed agreed.
"Come on, Ed." He grabbed Ed and they started to leave. They reached the front door when Mordechai reappears. They screamed and ran away quickly, only to be stopped by another locked door. "Mary and Joseph." Harry and Ed leaned against the wall and were being stared down by Mordechai.
"The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ compels you!" Ed screamed. And Sam and Haley entered.
"Hey!" Sam yelled and Mordechai turned to him and Haley. "Come and get it, you ugly son of a bitch."
"He actually means him." Haley said nervously and pointed at Sam.
Mordechai swung his axe at both of them. They duck and the axe hit the wall. "Ugh! How rude! What the hell did I ever do to you?!"
Again, Mordechai swung. This time, he pinned Sam against the wall with his axe and began to choke him. "Get out of here! Now!"
"Run!" Ed yelled to Harry and Haley.
"Yeah, we're outta here." And Harry and Ed left to another room.
Sam tried to push the axe handle away from his neck but it was no use. "Haley, go!"
"No. I'm not leaving you!" Haley yelled back. "Come on! Think Haley, think!" She said to herself, trying to think of a way to help.
Dean poured lighter fluid all over the floor, then ran to where Sam and Haley were. " Hey!" Mordechai looks behind him at Dean seeing Dean holding an aerosol can over a lighter and it busted into flame. Mordechai let go of Sam who then fell to the floor.
Haley ran over to help him up. "Go, go, go! Come on." Dean yelled.
She got him up and they started making their way out of the room.
"Look, if Mordechai can't leave the house, and we can't kill him, we improvise." Dean lit the lighter and threw it on the floor. The room went up into flames.
They left the house with Mordechai trying to follow them. They ran behind some nearby trees and looked back at Mordechai who was standing in the front doorway.
"That's the solution? Burn the whole damn place to the ground?" Sam asked, rubbing his throat.
"Well, no one will go in anymore. I mean, look, Mordechai can't haunt a house if there's no house to haunt. It's fast and dirty, but it works." Dean said, proud of what he had done.
"But, what if the legend changes again, and Mordechai is allowed to leave the house?" Haley asked her father.
"Well, then, we'll just have to come back."
"Wonderful." Haley said sarcastically to herself and then they were silent for a moment.
"Kind of makes you wonder—of all the things we've hunted, how many existed just 'cause people believed in 'em?" Sam said and they looked thoughtful as they watched the house go up in flames.
Later the night They wait for Ed and Harry outside of their trailer.
"Gentlemen. And lady." Ed nodded.
"Hey, guys." Haley gave a fake smile and they all started walking together.
"Should we tell 'em?" Harry asked Ed.
"Oh, you might as well, you know they're just gonna read about it in the trades." Ed said.
"So, this morning, we got a phone call from a very important Hollywood producer." Harry grinned.
Dean was in disbelief. "Oh, yeah? Wrong number?"
"No, smartass. He read all about the Hell House on our website and wants to option the motion picture rights—maybe even have us write it." Ed said proudly.
"And create the RPG." Harry said happily.
"The what?" Haley asked not really wanting to know the answer.
"Role-playing game." Harry said as he placed some luggage in their car.
"Right." Haley nodded.
"It's a little lingo for ya. Any who, uh, excuse us, we're off to La-La Land." Ed places the last of his luggage in his car.
"Well, congratulations, guys, that sounds really great." Sam smiled.
"Yeah, that's awesome. Best of luck to ya." Dean patted the hood of the car.
"Oh, yeah, luck—it's got nothin' to do with it. It's about talent, you know? Sheer, unabashed, talent." He gave them a peace sign. "Later." And he and Harry got into their car, which had their trailer attached to it. "I hope to see you around." He smiled and gave Haley a wink, then drove away.
"Ugh!" Haley grimaced. "I'm so glad those two nerds are finally gone." Sam and Dean laugh and they all start making their way back to the Impala.
"Wow." Dean laughed and shook his head, thinking about everything that happened with those two.
"I have a confession to make." Sam said trying not to laugh.
"What's that?" Dean asked.
"I was the one who called them and told 'em I was a producer." Sam smiled and they reached the car and laughed.
"Oh my God! That's so mean. I can't believe you did that. That little one was so excited." Haley said referring to Harry.
" Well, I'm the one who put the dead fish in their backseat." Dean confessed as well.
"Damn! I wish I would've thought of that." Haley said and they all laughed again.
"Truce?" Sam asks them.
"Yes, please." Haley said and went to shake Sam's hand. "Promise?" She stuck a finger at him.
"Yes, I promise." He laughed and they both turned to look at Dean.
"Yeah, truce. At least for the next hundred miles." Dean grinned while Sam and Haley sighed.
