Alec casually made his way down the cabin steps with a smirk firmly planted on his face. No, he hadn't killed the Winchesters, but his meatsuit had actually made a very good point. They would come after him and Tera and they would stop the demon army, but just picturing the look on Tera's face was enough to convince him. He'd been a demon for centuries and things had gotten a little boring. If the Winchesters killed him, that would be fine as long as they took Tera out too. That and the annoying twerp had threatened to cut off his arms and legs which would have made things very difficult and he didn't have as much control over his puppet as he would have liked.
"Is it done?" Tera asked impatiently by the Winchester's car.
"Yup, they're all dead as doornails," Alec replied confidently with a smile.
"What took you so long?" Tera asked suspiciously.
"They wanted to beg for poor little meatsuit's life. It was really pretty pathetic, you should be glad you missed it," Alec said with a sideways look at Tera.
Tera still didn't look like she believed him, "You're sure they're dead? I don't want any surprises…"
"Do you want to see for yourself?" Alec challenged. He knew she wouldn't want to see; she had some insane attachment to the tall Winchester with the hair. He really didn't care to learn any of their names since they were hardly any threat to him at all.
Tera scowled back at him, "No. We need to get the troops ready for tonight." Tera turned and started walking without waiting to see if he would follow.
It wasn't far to their hideout; it was really just down the road from the cabin the Winchesters were staying in. It was funny, they were literally hiding right under their noses and they were looking everywhere for them.
Tera was already a ways down the hill when Alec finally decided to start walking. He was debating how long it was going to take them to find the hideout when something in his pocket started going off with some tune he didn't recognize. He pulled the little rectangle out of his pocket and started clicking buttons to try and stop the noise. He was a demon; he didn't even know what this thing was, let alone how to use it.
One of the buttons finally turned the sound off and Alec smiled triumphantly; and to think, he was just about to smash the thing on the ground when he managed to turn the thing off. He almost jumped when a voice started coming through.
"Alec?"
He definitely didn't recognize the voice and it took him a minute to figure out that his meatsuit's name was Alec. "You're a real dick you know that? You don't even know who you're possessing…" Meatsuit Alec's voice came through his head.
"Yes?" Alec asked back. He held the rectangle out by his face and looked at it with curiosity. "Good Lord! It's a phone!" Meatsuit shouted.
"You're so very helpful! Forgive me for possessing a hermit for a few decades," Alec replied sarcastically. "Now would you please shut up," Alec hissed.
"Dean's not answering his phone and neither is Sam, what's going on out there?" The voice from the 'phone' asked.
He didn't care about the person on the other line and Tera was probably almost to their camp so Alec just dropped the little rectangle 'phone' to the gravel and walked away.
"I guess I need to get out more," Alec muttered. He finally figured out that the little 'phone' was some kind of communication device that the humans used. "How do you not know what a phone is?" Meatsuit Alec grumbled.
"Shut up," Alec grumbled back with a small smile. He had to admit, this meatsuit was entertaining. Too bad he was probably going to die after a while; he'd miss these sarcastic remarks.
"Alright, you should be good now…" Harper muttered to Sam as she put on the last butterfly bandage on the cut over his eye.
"Thanks," Sam replied. They were all in pretty good shape considering they were supposed to be dead. "What about you? Are you alright?" Sam asked Harper after a moment.
"Just some bruises, I'll be fine," Harper said with a smile. Her eyes then left his and traveled around the room until they landed on Dean; she was still worried about him and so was Sam. They had both tried to keep him sitting down, but he wouldn't listen to them. He was over at the window now, but he was barely at the edge so he could look out but anyone outside wouldn't be able to see him.
"What are you looking at?" Sam finally asked, but Dean didn't even turn around to face him. Sam forced himself to his feet and made his way over to Dean while Harper quickly followed. Dean waved behind his back and Sam and Harper immediately fell in behind him.
Sam peeked around Dean and finally saw what had caught his brother's attention; Tera and Alec were both outside. Tera started walking away which had to mean that she thought they were all dead. Sam watched Alec to see what he would do, but he just stayed where he was for a few minutes. The demon jumped a little and then pulled Alec's phone out of his pocket. It was obvious that the demon didn't know what the phone was, but it somehow managed to answer it. The conversation was kept short and Alec dropped the phone to the ground and followed Tera after only a few seconds.
"C'mon," Dean said as soon as Alec disappeared over the hill.
They went as quickly and as quietly as they could out the cabin door and down the steps. Dean was the first one to get to the phone and he stooped down to pick it up.
"Hello?" Dean spoke into the phone quietly; Sam knew he was afraid that Alec could still hear them.
"Bobby?" Dean whispered in confusion and Sam wished he could hear both sides of the conversation. Dean must have known that he wanted to hear because he turned the phone a little and Sam put his ear next to it. Harper shot them a quick look and then silently followed after Alec.
"What's going on? Where's Alec?" Bobby's gruff voice came through in a rush.
"What did he say to you?" Dean asked instead of answering.
"He told someone to shut up and then he dropped the phone and walked off…" Bobby slowly answered.
"We really messed this one up Bobby," Dean admitted after a moment.
"What happened?" Bobby asked patiently.
"We managed to find the leader of the demon army, Alec got possessed and is now her second in command, and we still don't know where exactly the army is hiding. Oh and I forgot about the part where we don't even know how to stop the demon army," Dean replied. He ran his hand down his face and Sam knew he was hurting more than he was letting on.
"Alec's possessed?" Bobby asked in concern. Sam knew the older hunter had a soft spot for Alec ever since he'd watched out for him. He wouldn't be surprised if Bobby was getting in his car right now to come help them out.
"I forgot he didn't have the tattoo," Dean breathed out; Sam didn't miss the guilt that was already creeping into his brother's voice. It wasn't Dean's fault that Alec got possessed, if anything it was his own fault for trusting Tera.
"Dean, this isn't your fault," Sam quickly defended. He couldn't stand that Dean was going to shoulder this as his own failings when in reality if Sam had just listened none of this would have happened. Dean shot him a look that clearly said it wasn't his fault either, but Bobby spoke before either of them could argue about who's fault this was.
"Would you two knock it off and look at the bigger picture here!" Bobby yelled at them through the phone. "Neither of you are to blame for this! Demons do whatever the hell they want so stop blaming yourselves so we can figure out how to stop them!"
Dean ran his hand through his hair, "Alright Bobby…do you have anything in mind?"
Harper walk back over the hill right after Dean said that and Dean looked in her direction as soon as she appeared. Dean looked back over at Sam and then nodded in Harper's direction. Sam didn't really want to leave the conversation with Bobby, but he did want to find out what Harper saw so he decided to walk on over to her.
"Where'd he go?" Sam asked once he was closer.
"It's probably a trap, but he led me right to the army," Harper quietly replied.
"What?! You know where the army is?" Sam didn't wait for her reply; he just grabbed her wrist and brought her back over to Dean.
"Bobby, that's what I'm tellin' ya, we don't know where they are," Dean said in frustration. "Tera said they were somewhere in the mountains, but that could be anywhere!"
"They're only a little ways down the hill," Harper suddenly cut in, causing Dean to look up in surprise.
Dean didn't wait for her to explain; instead he held the phone out and put Bobby on speaker. "Bobby, Harper knows where the army is."
"I followed Alec down the hill where there are five pretty good sized cabins. Alec went in the one at the very back, but I didn't see Tera. They have a guard of two demons in the clearing, but not on the road to the cabins," Harper informed them all.
"How are the cabins set up?" Dean asked.
"They're set up in a semi-circle; Alec's cabin is the furthest with two other cabins on each side," Harper showed how the cabins were set up with her hands as she spoke.
"What's surrounding the cabins?" Bobby asked after a few seconds.
"Just woods. There's only one road into the clearing."
"Bobby, we have another problem too, Tera isn't affected by salt or holy water," Sam suddenly remembered.
"Is Alec?" Bobby asked.
"We don't actually know…but we don't think Alec's really into sticking with Tera…" Sam hesitantly answered.
"Still, that demon won't want to give Alec up easily…" Bobby's voice sounded distracted. Sam hoped he was coming up with a way to get the demon out of Alec before anything else happened to him.
"Alright, I might have a plan for all the other demons, but I don't have anything for Alec or Tera," Dean said slowly, interrupting the silence. "Bobby, how far away are you?"
"I'll be there before nightfall," Bobby answered.
"Good, we're gonna need all the help we can get," Dean muttered with a look at Sam.
Hope y'all are ok with Bobby coming back, I thought they could use some help! And I hope y'all are liking this story!
More soon...
