Chapter 14: Devil's Trap
Bella's P.O.V.
My headache was worse than ever before. I rested my head on the cold glass, it helped a little bit. It took us only 10 hours to get to Bobby's. His place was like home to us. I followed my brothers to the front door where Sam knocked.
"Sam, Dean, Bella, it's good to see you three again." Bobby said. "Good to see you too, Bobby." Sam said. "Not that I'm not happy that you guys are here, but what are you doing here?" he asked. "Dad's been taken by demons. We have no idea where he is and the demons are on our trail. Well at least one is, we need to capture her and question her about Dad." Dean said.
"Right, I already have a devil's trap set up in the library." Bobby said. "What's a devil's trap?" I asked. Bobby picked up a book and opened it to a page with the devil's trap. "Does it really work?" Sam asked. "Yeah, whatever you Winchester's have gotten yourselves into, it's big." Bobby said. "What do you mean Bobby?" Dean asked. "I mean that every year I hear of maybe two to four possessions, this year I've heard of twenty-six possessions. There's a war coming and you three are smack dab in the middle of it." Bobby said. I sat down, my headache worse than it was when we got here. My head was resting on my knees when I felt a hand on my back. I looked up to see Sam sitting next to me.
"On a scale from one to ten, how bad is it?" Sam asked. "Twenty," I said into my legs. "Is it Dad?" he asked. "Maybe," I said just as the front door busted open and Meg came into the room.
"I swear, you Winchester's are hard to track down." Meg said flinging everyone across the room. I collided head first into the wall and I blacked out.
Dean's P.O.V.
I got up after being thrown against one of the many bookcases in Bobby's library. I looked at Meg with a smirk on my face. Sam and Bobby got up but Bella was still lying on the ground. Bobby tied Meg to a chair in the middle of the devil's trap while Sammy and I checked on Izzy.
"She's out," I said looking at my unconscious sister. "Put her on the couch." Bobby said. Sam picked her up and carried Iz over to the couch. I stepped into the trap to question the demonic bitch in the center.
"Where's our Dad?" I asked. "Dead," she said. "No, he's not. Sam start it." I said. Sam started the exorcism. "Really, you won't take dead for an answer will you?" Meg asked. "She's lying, Dean. Dad's not dead." Izzy said weakly from the couch. "Meg, Meg, Meg…. Tell us where our Dad is or we will send you back to hell." I said. "Fine, the Sunrise Apartments on the riverfront." Meg said. "Okay, Sam finish it." I said stepping out of the trap.
"Dean, we'll kill her." Sam said. "The only thing keeping that girl alive is that demon." Bobby said. "Dean, if I had a demon inside of me; I would want it out of me no matter what condition my body was in." Izzy said. "Sam, finish it." I said.
Sam finished the incantation and Meg was back in control of her body. She was still alive but barely. Bobby called 9-1-1 as we laid her down on the ground.
"Did she tell us the truth on where our Dad is?" I asked. "Y-yes. I-I was awake….for most of it." Meg said. "What about the demon we're looking for, is he there?" I asked. "I-I don't know." she said in her last breath.
"We got to go Bobby, can you handle this?" Sam asked. "I'll be fine; you think you guys invented lying to the cops. Go get your Dad back." he said from the doorway as the three of us got into the Impala.
We got there the next day and we were watching the apartments. "Dude, we can't just walk in there." Sam said. "Why not?" I asked. "Look at that place. The demons know our faces, we have to come up with a plan and fast." Sam said getting out of the car and headed to the trunk.
"Um, Sam, what are you drawing on the car?" Izzy asked. "Protection symbols." he said. "So?" I asked angrily. "So, it makes the trunk a lock box so demons can't get in." he said. "Okay, why do we need that?" I asked. "So we leave the colt in the truck then go get dad." Sam said. "De, we have to, those demons are after it. We can't go in there with it." Izzy said. Sighing in defeat I put it in there but as Sam closed the truck I grabbed it and put it in the waist band of my jeans.
Izzy smirked at me, showing confirmation that she saw me grab it from the trunk. As we stood in front of the apartments Izzy came up with a plan.
"What if we pull the fire alarm?" she asked. "That's prefect, then they will be here in what 7 minutes?" I asked. "Exactly seven minutes. How are going to get in there to pull it?" Sam asked. Iz ran back to the car and came back with her duffel bag. "Give me fifteen minutes." she said running into the girl's restroom at the gas station we are parked.
"What the hell is she doing?" I asked. "I have no idea. But if it works than great." Sam said. Fifteen minutes later a girl with black hair, sunglasses and dark clothes came out with my sister's duffel bag. The girl walked up to us and put the duffel bag in the car.
"Come on De, can't recognize your own sister?" Izzy asked. "Did you seriously dye your hair?" I asked. "Nope, just a wig. I'll be quick." she said going across the street. It felt like ages until she came back over to us and tossed the wig in the dumpster. Exactly seven minutes later a fire truck pulled up and we immediately went to work. Izzy kept watch outside as Sam and I went inside to search for Dad.
Sam's P.O.V.
We made it to the second floor and we finally found the right door. It was giving EMF a workout. We got into the room and struggled with the two demons in there. We got them into a closet I put a ring around it since Dean was holding it closed. We found Dad tied to the bed spread eagle. Just to make sure I threw holy water on him. When nothing happed Dean untied him as I answered my phone.
"More demons heading your way. Get out now!" Izzy said through the phone. "Right, be out in a minute. Dean we have to take the fire escape." I said hanging up the phone. "Great, okay you go first." Dean said. I got through the window just as demons were trying to get into the bedroom. Dean handed Dad to me and he grabbed the weapons bag and we made our way down into the alley.
Bella was waiting for us just as she got jumped by a demon who was wailing on her. I handed Dad to Dean and tackled the demon off of my sister. It started in on me too but I heard a gunshot and the demon was dead. I looked over and saw Dean holding out the colt.
Bella was holding her side as she stood up. I helped her into the car as Dean got Dad in on the other side. Dean drove until we found a cabin out in the middle of nowhere. Once all four of us where inside I demon-proofed the cabin. I got back to the main room and Izzy was leaning against the wall obviously in pain.
"Where does it hurt, Iz?" I asked. "My side," she said through clenched teeth. "Okay, I'm lifting your shirt up, which side hurts?" I asked. "Right," she said again. I lifted up her shirt far enough that I saw the bruising all along her right side.
"Sam, something's wrong." Izzy said. "What, what's wrong Izzy?" I asked. "It's Dad. I don't know how, but that wasn't entirely Dad. Something is in him." Izzy said. "No, nothing is in him, we tested him, Bells." Dean said, standing behind me.
"Now, I'm not too sure about that." Dad said from the entry way. When Dean and I turned we saw that Dad's eyes were yellow. Before Dean grabbed the gun he was flung and pinned to a wall on the other side of the room. I was pinned on the middle wall next to the fire place.
"Now, we can chat in relative peace. I have plans for you Sammy. And the children like you." he said. I looked to my sister seeing how she's psychic too. "No, Sam. Just you. In fact I plan on killing sissy nice and slow. But first is Dean." he said going over to Dean. I couldn't look away from the demon clawing Dean up until he lost consciousness. He then went over to my sister and I was still screaming my head off at him to stop. He turned to me and forced my mouth shut. He turned back to Bella.
"Now, how to prolong your death?" he asked. "Aw, I know." With that he cut open her stomach like he did mom. "Daddy…Daddy please don't let him do this." Bells pleaded. "Sorry, Daddy's not here right now." he said as he shoved his hand in her stomach. She let out a blood curdling scream. Just then we were released and Dean and Bella fell to the floor. Bella slowly crawled to Dean leaving a trail of blood behind. I grabbed the colt and put a bullet in my dad's leg.
"Sam, it's still inside of me. You shoot me in the heart son." Dad pleaded. "Sam, don't do it." Dean said still slightly out of it. "Don't do it Sammy," Bella added. "I can't hold it back much longer!" Dad yelled as the black smoke left his body.
I ran over to Dean and Bella only to find them both barely conscious from the blood loss. Dad helped me get them into the Impala and he climbed in shot gun and I gunned it out of there.
I kept glancing behind me to make sure they were both breathing. "You should have killed when you had the chance, son." Dad said. "I would have killed you too Dad. We still have the colt and the one bullet we can track it later…" I said as we were suddenly hit by a semi.
After a second or two I woke up in the totaled Impala. The truck driver got out and came to my door and ripped it off. I pointed the colt at him. "You won't shoot me, you're saving that bullet for someone else." the demon said. "Wanna bet?" I asked . The demon flew out of the guy fast and I tucked the gun in the glove box.
"My God, did I do this?" the guy asked. "Dad? DAD?" I asked, when I didn't get a response I called to my two siblings. "DEAN! BELLA!" I shouted as the truck driver called 9-1-1.
